Cast: Although there were quite a few likable people in the cast such as Natalie, Bridgette and occasionally Michelle, this season is weighed down by Paulie. Paulie is one of the most disgustingly sexist players to ever be in the Big Brother house. The way he demeaned the women in the house was appalling, specifically his so called "girl" Zakiyah. He acted as if he owned her, and as if he was better than every female in the game. Watching him week after week was disturbing, and production should have put a stop to it way earlier on in the season. On another note, no one could ever forget the delusional Jozea, the self-proclaimed messiah, who played one of the worst games ever. There was an excitement to watching Victor fight his way back into the house TWICE, but other than that, Paul and Victor were both annoying fame-whores. The only redeeming part of the cast was the opportunity to see Da'Vonne play a second time. Unfortunately for her, she proved that she still wasn't a very good Big Brother player.
Winner: Nicole was an OK winner. There wasn't anything spectacular about her gameplay, she somehow avoided eviction and kept on using Corey as her meatshield for the entire season. The season would have had a more satisfying ending had Paul won in the final two over Nicole. Even though he was annoying most of the season, he represented more of an underdog storyline, and he also had the competition record to back up a solid win.
Rewatchability: There is no reason to rewatch this season. There are mind numbing twists every week that the producers have thrown in to make up for the fact that there was no actually good gameplay to air. Every episode features a James prank segment, and it would be great to never see Paulie Calafiore on a screen ever again. The show would be better off returning to Have/Have Not competitions as opposed to their making up new competitions season after season. Roadkill competitions were boring and a third nominee twist has been done many times before. Overall, a boring season filled with boring personalities.
I found the power shift at the F10 to be the best part of the season. It brought my favorite 3 (Michelle, Natalie, and Bridgette) together and all 3 took down Paulie's dominance, concluding to his demise in 8th place. I just feel like this season would've been so much better had there not been a 2nd buyback.
A final 6 of Nicole, Corey, Paul, James, Natalie, and Michelle basically had the last 3 in great positions to make it far. Like I feel like the second buyback really fucked over Natalie and Michelle. :(
Overall, too low but it's middle of the pack. In my opinion it's one of the better recent seasons.
i find the twist with having a 3rd nominee really good, unfurtunelly they chose to o it on season where people dont know how to take a lemon an do lemonade
