It could be that I’m grasping for any possibility that Big Brother 20 won’t proceed in a predictable manner from now until the finale. The final three — presumably Tyler, Angela, Kaycee — could make for interesting television just because it’s unclear who could take home the ultimate prize. (In years past, the question was usually,…

Let’s Choose a ‘Big Brother’ Successor to Julie Chen. Even If It’s Premature.
Julie Chen is as essential to Big Brother (US) as Zingbot, OTEV, and slop. But since she’s taken time off to be with her family in light of her husband’s firing from CBS, it’s reasonable to assume she won’t be back for Season 21 — unless the show moves to another network, or if they keep…
Tyler Crispen May Become ‘Big Brother’s Most Forgettable Winner
Ok, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. And since there have been more than 20 seasons of Big Brother — counting the Over the Top and Celebrity editions — it may be a stretch to call Tyler the franchise’s most forgettable winner. After all, there have been lots of forgettable winners. That’s why floaters get so far, and…
In Defense of Retail: Geoffrey Owens Isn’t Alone
I won’t give Fox News the dignity of of linking out to their article on Cosby Show star Geoffrey Owens’ apparent employment at Trader Joe’s. Last year, I was similarly employed at a grocery store and was spotted by a professor at the university where I used to work. The last time I saw him, about…
‘Big Brother 20’: Let’s Talk About Kaycee (Updated)
Updated September 12, 2018 Let’s switch this up a bit, since Kaycee is now on a stunning winning streak — all of a sudden the athlete is a competition beast. So much so, it’s hard to imagine now that she and Tyler would end up as final two. Neither would be dumb enough to take…
‘Big Brother 20’: That Moment When Faysal Figures It All Out
Fessy, the penny finally dropped. But maybe, you know, he always had his suspicions. He knew, maybe, in the back of his mind, that he and his main ally Haleigh were being oddly manipulated to turn against their own alliance members and send them home, one by one. If anything, he finally realized that his…
‘Shark Tank,’ Wicked Good Cupcakes, The Mason Baker And The Challenge Of Finding An Original Idea
Each day at exactly 12:00pm, or thereabouts, I get a Google Alerts email for the keyword “Shark Tank.” Usually, it’s a collection of CNBC reports on some benign statements from one of the sharks, updates from aggregate news sites on past pitchers designed (I assume) to take advantage of that SEO spike when episodes rerun,…
‘Big Brother 20’ Is An All-True Metaphor For Life
Haleigh. Haleigh, Haleigh, Haleigh. I so want you to win because you’re the Smart Girl. But you won’t. Because Smart Girls Always Get Screwed Over, and as your ally Rockstar so aptly stated, “guys like (Brett) always win.” It wasn’t so obvious in the early days of Big Brother 20 that you were the Smart Girl….
Why Kourtney Kardashian Leaving KUWTK Would Be A Visceral Pleasure
Many years ago, one of the younger members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan got her first period. I know this not because it’s the natural course of things for most women, but because the event was a featured part of one episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. That was way back when Bruce was still Bruce…
