Big Brother Canada 9 rises March 3rd

Yay! I’m so pumped for a new season! (And that you guys are back!!!) ive missed your updates. 🙂

Here’s hoping:

Hoping they don’t excessively feed block… again. (they will. veto day will be about 8-13 hours of feed blocks). HOH after episode feed block will last at least until one hour after west coast airing sometimes up to 4 hours after west coast airing, veto picks, up to 3 hours. veto meeting, up to 4 hours. Eviction day, feeds go down in late morning for run through, then again about an hour before the audience arrives for the taped in front of a live audience eviction, so 2ish eastern time usually until after airing.
Hoping they don’t pre-emptively feed block every time alcohol is given… again. (they will. and the first time they get alcohol we’ll lose feeds for a night and half of the hangover).
Hoping they didn’t cast the oldest, the overweight, health complication survivor, lgbt and the wants to quit houseguest ALL as the same person… again. NO carol casting. Carol was the new Schlumpy Eeyore. Not a good thing.
Hoping that the more diverse casting they’ve promoted doesn’t mean they cast in order to bait… again. I said what I said. Casting people with strong personalities because they will clash is one thing. Casting people with strong opinions on diversity because they will clash is another, if the team is doing so in order to gain ratings or publicity.
Hoping they haven’t cast half of the house with people that already know each other from the outside world… again. Don’t make me, because I can pull out on feeds discussions of pre-feed relationships from season 2 up to 8. Tell them NOT to talk about it on feeds or make it an actual twist in the game and a deliberate storyline device.
Hoping whoever they stunt cast from their existing talent pool at the parent company isn’t useless… again.
Hoping they find a better use for secret rooms than they have in the past few seasons. Like they aren’t going to have secret room twists. They’ll have secret rooms. Feeds will be blocked for the better part of the day while the whole house is locked in HOH except that one person called down to find the secret room.
Hoping the twists don’t outnumber the strategic moves… again. Insert Oprah gif with you get a twist and you get a twist. And please, for the love of insert deity of choice, instruct all houseguests NOT to call out on feeds for a twist or fans to save them… it’s yuck.
Hoping the pre-conceived storyline for the season that they develop and fine tune pre-feeds isn’t so easy to predict or read during the first 3 episodes… again. Make us work for it, don’t edit heavy on the season winner in the first 3 episodes when they have nothing to do with what is going on in the events of the week.
Hoping we all remember the lesson of season 7, what happens after the veto has been played but before the veto meeting is not part of the official storyline for the season, don’t get your hopes up when, for 24 hours, it looks like the steamroll isn’t going to happen and everyone has figured out what is going on. That just happens to be the day that the storyline writers aren’t there. When they come back everyone will be called into d/r and jedi mind tricked into forgetting the last day’s events because they don’t fit with the edit.
Hoping they’ll at least fix some of what was wrong with the season 8 house instead of just dumping new people into pretty much the same set. Or at least that someone dusted. And maybe dealt with that hot tub bacterial situation. Shudder. Will they just tape new name tags to last season’s vault heads?
Hoping people don’t keep asking why the evictions aren’t live like in the US. They just aren’t. Eviction spoilers are likely going to happen if they have any audience at all. With covid still being an issue, there is the chance they won’t have studio audiences, so less chance at spoilers.

Am I asking for too much?
