Whether or not we prefer it or not, Season 27 is about to finish with one Large Brother solid member touchdown the final word winnings. Whereas there’s nonetheless an thrilling finale left that may resolve whether or not Ashley Hollis or Morgan Pope will win the ultimate Head of Family and take Vince Panaro to the top, we’re nearing the end line. Whereas we wait, some solid members are debating the influence of the newly-added BB Blockbuster, and it was a constructive change.
CinemaBlend is watching Large Brother on-line, and figured who higher to ask than the Houseguests who had been part of Season 27? We submitted inquiries to Ava Pearl and Keanu Soto following their evictions and requested them their opinion concerning the BB Blockbuster. So, what do they assume?
Keanu Believes The BB Blockbuster Amplifies The Social Component Of Gameplay Extra
Few Houseguests benefited from the BB Blockbuster greater than Keanu Soto. The Large Brother Houseguest went a lot additional within the recreation than he may’ve in any other case. (The minute it was over, he was back-doored and evicted throughout Vince’s final HOH.) Earlier than answering, Keanu specified that he’d solely seen 4 seasons of BB earlier than taking part in, one in every of which was Season 26.
Whereas he may solely communicate from his restricted perspective of the sport, he introduced up an attention-grabbing level about the way it elevates the social facet of the sport:
It undoubtedly makes it thrilling. Some individuals might say it turns it extra right into a aggressive present and fewer of a social one, I disagree. I imagine, as an instance from the HOH’s perspective, you might be mainly burning three bridges while you put three individuals up. Their potential to have the ability to come again from that and mend these relationships? That is 100% social. I firmly imagine that it’s a welcome boost. I prefer it, and it retains it up within the air as to who is definitely going to go dwelling. I adore it.
Keanu gained quite a lot of competitions in Large Brother Season 27. He makes a terrific level, right here, too. The onus is on the Head of Family to keep up a superb relationship with the one who survives the BB Blockbuster, as a lot as it’s important for the Houseguest who wins to rebuild their popularity in the home. As somebody who additionally gained HOH he confirmed the worth in that dynamic, almost costing Vince his recreation when he put him up for eviction.
However Ava Pointed Out The BB Blockbuster Is Dangerous For Houseguests Like Her
On the opposite facet of the coin is Ava, who had one HOH reign by which she delegated quite a lot of choices to different Houseguests, and a comp win that in the end led to Rachel Reilly’s controversial elimination. Her ideas on the BB Blockbuster differed barely from Keanu, as somebody who’s not a bodily dominant Houseguest:
I need to say that the twist was attention-grabbing. It undoubtedly allowed for lots of people who had been good at competitions to energy via the sport which is each attention-grabbing and scary as a participant as a result of I am not that nice at competitions.
Ava was fearful of the BB Blockbuster as a result of she wasn’t a terrific competitor, however I feel that is a superb lesson for future Large Brother Houseguests. Whereas Ashley advised me a number of comp wins aren’t essential to profitable a contemporary season, I really feel like there’s by no means going to be a actuality by which that is not the best path. Houseguests must be well-rounded and be capable of do each comps and work socially, and never simply depend on one talent over the opposite.
Whereas some will level to Kelley Jorgensen and Keanu as proof Large Brother Season 27 was too heavy on competitions, there have been alternatives to get each out by which their Houseguest prioritized different targets as an alternative. Total, I feel the steadiness within the BB Blockbuster was honest, however we’ll see how the subsequent solid who has to cope with it does.
Large Brother Season 27’s finale airs on CBS on Sunday, September twenty eighth at 8:30 p.m. ET. Tune in to see who wins the $750,000, and for some huge drama as Morgan and Ashley sq. off.
