I'm back in my hotel from the Springsteen show (did anybody miss me?), and tuned in to hear Sheila babbling as much as she did on Friday as I was packing. "I'm not going to say who said this, but...they know who they are." She really is a great armchair quarterback...shouldn't be happy that she was brought down?
In another room, Nat is proud of her hiding prowess. "I'm really good at that, huh? I've found some new hiding places." Oh boy.

OMG, I Missed So Much Yet So Little
James and Chelsia...NAKED?!
Reality TV in general
Production, casting...make or break reality tv.
My favourites are Big Brother and Survivor. Since we don't get to see live feeds of Survivor I'm not sure how much production effects outcomes. All their comps are pretty varied and contain multiple tasks to fit to different strengths in the contestants. e.g., swimming to collect puzzle pieces for others.
I've always questioned BB's comps. Sometimes they are just to geared towards a particular house guest. Someone the viewing audience adores is on the block and is good at trivia? Wow, veto comp will be trivia!
As for casting, I've noticed a lot of comments about the house guests this season. I guess it's all about ratings. Plain, normal people just don't do it. We need the quirkiness, the insanity. Strong, outrageous personalities that will clash. It gives us something to laugh at and gossip about. I noticed last season's Survivor was that - plain, normal people. No hotties, no amazing bodies, no showmances. I lost interest in it by episode 3. Wasn't even catching missed episodes online.
Ok, just something I was thinking about, as I found tonight's show really zzzzzzzz.
Shelia Down - Matt Up - Matt Cries.
James carried out his plan and put Matt up after saving Shelia.
The tears start flowing about 6 minutes into this clip. He feels like he is letting people down outside the house.
More of Matt weepy eyed and other HGs discuss the it all.
