Been watching Big Brother three nights a week, as I have during the summer season for the past eighteen years. When I started watching, I was in my forties, and most of the "houseguests" are usually in their twenties or thirties, with an odd 40-something now and then, maybe even a 50. Of course, the older I get, the younger they get. I also subscribe to the live feeds (cameras are on these people 24/7), and I can tune in any time of day or night to see what's going on with them. This gives a better picture of them, beyond what is broadcast on prime time.
This season, they all seem unsually young, generally 23-27, and relating to them, on almost any level, is virtually impossible... Except for maybe closeness with family, and stuff like that, the division I feel with most of them is tremendous.
There are some potentially good minds in the house, but these people need some work, that's for sure. Paul comes from money (they did a segment where his mom and dad were interviewed in thier mansion like home), and has a tendency to stress how unimportant the money is to him (winner gets $500K). I can see how he prides himself on the unimportance of money. That is a positive thing of course, but I can say, without fear of contradiction, that Paul has never gone hungry, without more than a pitcher of water in the fridge (assuming the electricity didn't get turned off). Take a walk there, Paul, and then tell me how unimportant money is. He has a small clothing company (think black with skulls), and frequents Europe
Michelle, is heavily into social media, and seems to see this as a career path. She needs a lot of reassurance, and because of that, she doens't seem to have a good sense of self. Wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.
Victor is quite young, 23, I think, and laughs a lot, and likes to make people laugh. He's Puerto Rican, and is real easy on the eyes. He seems to be the most regular guy of them all. I'd like to see him win, but odds are that he'll be "evicted" soon.
They ALL use the word "literally" every other sentence, it seems. There is rarely a valid reason for using the word to begin with, and why they interject it anywhere and everywhere is just beyond me.
A lot them curse incessantly.
They use the word "bone" to indicate sex. Yea, that's sexy. Geez.
The girls spend half the day putting on make-up and doing their hair.
The boys pump iron.
I think they call this generation, The Millennials
God help them.
"I think they call this generation, The Millennials
ReplyDeleteGod help them." Bwahahaha the millennials really don't seem that much different than a sizable portion of "us" when we were young(er). They, like "us" will step up to the playe and either free themselves or enslave all they can. Personally I hope they find their own path and not the tortured one we walked as "boomers."
