As Huge Brother at all times says, anticipate the surprising. With any new season comes a brand new twist. Or typically there are previous twists with a brand new title or aspect to it. In Season 27, followers are uninterested in the Blockbuster twist.
The BB Blockbuster sees three nominees on the block. Somebody can win the Energy of Veto, and a 3rd nominee nonetheless has to go up. On eviction evening, the three nominees battle it out within the Blockbuster. Whoever wins, takes themself off the block, leaving simply two houseguests on the block, and the houseguests scrambling if their goal is not on the block.
This twist is much like Season 26’s BB AI Enviornment, simply with a special title. As soon as the variety of houseguests dwindles down, Blockbuster will finally finish, identical to the AI Enviornment and different twists have, leaving two everlasting nominees on the block.
Though some followers have complained in regards to the theme of the season or the gamers, many are saying the Blockbuster has “ruined” this season. “Blockbuster has ruined Huge Brother imo,” a Reddit person stated.
“Lots of people say the gamers are dangerous, and a few are, however there are logical ones too — it’s simply almost not possible to play when there are such a lot of outcomes every week. BB has at all times had a component of luck, however the final two seasons it’s been the principle issue. Gamers like Keanu [Soto] and Kelley [Jorgenson] can tank socially, lose veto, then win the Blockbuster and be secure, whereas somebody like Adrian [Rocha] can play effectively, go up as a pawn, and nonetheless find yourself subsequent to a different pawn as a result of somebody who was doomed received a 2-minute comp. No surprise everybody seems drained throughout voting talks — hours of technique get worn out simply to make Thursday extra dramatic.”
“Take into consideration how a lot has to occur to get a goal out: there’s now a 50% likelihood a nominee wins POV (up from 33%), that means you usually should nominate 4 folks 🤦♂️. Actually, security apart, it’s higher to not win HOH atp — it’s been decreased to a glorified security comp along with your prize being a shot at midnight. Deliver again previous Huge Brother. I miss backdoors,” they completed.
“I utterly agree with this. As an alternative of technique, it simply appears like chaos. When there have been solely two noms and it got here right down to the wire, tensions have been sky-high, fights exploded, and betrayals have been imminent. Now it’s virtually like your entire solid is in a continuing ‘what will we do?’ mode that stops loads of them from making sensible choices for themselves, therefore why we’ve had so many ‘home’ votes. BB has been round a really very long time, and it’s clear they’re by no means going to cease making an attempt to twist issues round, however there does come a degree when it turns into too contrived for its personal good,” a fan agreed.
“It makes eviction evening extra entertaining at the price of making all the pieces else boring,” one other stated.
One other fan stated that the Blockbuster is an efficient twist, nevertheless it “shouldn’t final all the best way to the jury.”
“I hate it!! It makes the present too comp-focused, which is one thing followers agreed we have been attempting to get away from. We’ll in all probability by no means get to see somebody go all out to flip the home, throw their alliances underneath the bus, or create havoc to avoid wasting themselves, pondering ‘I’ve acquired nothing left to lose’ when there’s nonetheless an opportunity they may win blockbuster and keep with out that danger. Everybody performs a lot safer now due to the danger their goal stays, so there’s much less drama, much less direct gameplay. No dwell HoHs. However hey, we’ve a puzzle after which 2 minutes of awkward hugging. Largely everybody appears to find it irresistible and rankings are up, so I believe that is the brand new norm, although,” stated one other.
Nevertheless, there are loads of followers on the opposite facet of the opinion, saying that the Blockbuster offers followers “chaos and surprises” since they don’t know what’s going to occur till Thursday.
“I disagree. It makes it extra fascinating and isn’t overly difficult. The HoH has by no means had management over who goes residence, solely over nominations. The distinction now could be that they could want as much as 4 nominees as an alternative of three, and the ultimate set isn’t locked till proper earlier than the vote, slightly than days upfront,” one other stated.
“I disagree. The blockbuster is the perfect factor to occur because the veto, or possibly since dwell hohs left. Thursdays are soooo thrilling now. They’ve BEEN superb for 2 seasons now!” one final fan stated.
