If Doerkson promises no new taxes, does that mean Gordon Campbell style cuts are coming?

Considering the deficit is 13B, and if the Conservatives follow through with no new taxes, then obviously that means expect Gordon Campbell style cuts coming when they are back in power. If people are old enough to remember, the government workers have most to fear when about 12k positions were eliminated in 2002. There was also changes to welfare benefits, assistance rules and eliminated programs, msp premium hikes etc... This was all thanks to a landslide victory by then the BC Liberals taking 77 seats who did whatever they wanted without push back.

Of course that proved unpopular though they still won the election 4 years later but losing a lot seats and then another 4 years with CC until it finally came to an end.

This is all in contrast with the NDP announcing taxes on people making more than 190k a year to help pay for healthcare since they'd rather raise taxes on high income earners than go through austerity.

If there's no new taxes then expect very deep cuts which obviously he didn't want to say but is obvious what would happen instead

If there was ever a From Spinoff or Continuation, the series finale ending CAN'T be a Dream..

From has been a consistent hit for MGM+ which explains it got renewed for 5 seasons and always has 90%+ rating on RT. If they ever want to reboot or continue the series then it can't end on a dream for that to happen cause otherwise nobody would ever watch it again with it all being fake. So if the writers want to leave the ending open ended for a potential continuation or spin off then it has to realistically end on something different for that to happen and i think mgm wants to keep that door open.

I've seen a lot of theories on how they think from will end with a dream being the biggest one but we should also be mindful that they may want to bring this back in some form and unless it's someone whose dreams can become reality, i don't think that theory is gonna happen.

Like maybe they'll go international and it's happening around the world where people get trapped in the fromverse.

Yash says Devens is the deserving winner and Dee was a terrible social/strategic player

Yash says Devens is all above the best player to win and would get his vote calling him a phenominal social player, elite strategist and sneaky great competitor while calling Dee a good competitor but a terrible social and strategic player.

He also said Melody was not a bright strategic player for getting him out and not nominating drew over him which taylor and him tried to convince her to do since drew was with the icons

We also saw Lala in the jury house say Devens was playing good so it's very likely Devens will win the game against everyone left if he is sitting in the final 2 chairs.

Let's see if he can get there and doesn't up like Morgan or Nicole

Think of a unique Twist better than Alison Grodner for future BB seasons

It's clear the EP can't think of any good twists for BB for a long time as this time capsule was a big flop that only 3 have won that favoured really only 1 of them, aka Devens.

blockbuster is not new so there really wasn't anything new for twists this season except icons coming in.

what kind of unique twist can you think of to help the show out since the brains there can't think of any good ones in a long time.

they should do a twist where the houseguests get to vote between a new male and female houseguest to join the game or the audience gets to vote. or have like 30 people compete and 16 will join the game split between men and women. that could be different.

What kind of Series Finale will you NOT be happy with or accept.

Many of these sci fi shows are always hit and miss when it comes to the conclusion. Stranger Things had a somewhat satisfying ending for fans but Lost which is compared to From a lot had a very controversial ending since fans couldn't figure out what really happened to them.

So in order for the series finale of From to not disappoint you, what kind of ending will you not accept and hate on should it happen?

All i want is an explanation why they are getting trapped in the fromverse and what those monsters represent so if it ends on not explaining any of that i'd be disappointed.

Julie says the 1000th episode twist has NEVER been done before...So you can rule out past twists.

Julie is hyping the 1000th episode twist stating big brother has NEVER done this before so you can rule out double evictions, battle back, split house twists which makes sense since if it were a battle back it only works if kamu was sequestered or if there was a double eviction but we know that isn't it since it's happened.

there are theories that they could use some twists used in other big brother international editions or it could be something completely new which people have said they could be moving into a new house that was built, a "newbies" only HOH competition or a survivor style hidden immunity idol in the house.

so if you got theories it has to be completely not done yet on big brother usa

Realistically, Yash is playing the best under the radar strategy now.

He's the only one that hasn't really solidified an alliance though maybe that's gonna change when he connects with Taylor but nobody is ever talking about putting him up on the block because he's just cool with everybody and he lays low enough that they don't want to consider him on the block. Not even this week when Haley could have put him up over lyric if she really wanted someone athletic to take on drew in that blockbuster.

They're all focused on targeting each other with melody/mallory, taylor/latrice, kamu/haley/chuk, drew/barrett and then dee, devens and angela leaving yash in the middle.

He doesn't have to worry until at least jury when they start to notice him but for now he can just keep playing friendly to everyone. Remember, the best strategist doesn't always win..just ask Ashley though that may be more a vote against Vince than it was for Ashley but either way the social butterfly won.

Zach should be happy seeing his friend go this far

Spoilers about the next VETO Competition...

So apparently Morgan was the guest host of the next veto competition and was giving compliments to some houseguests..

I just thought it was awkward considering didn't morgan send out a note to CBS about Kamu's racist video being circulated? It be funny if she gave him a dead eye or something during that competition.

What BB Players are actually AWFUL people irl?

Sometimes the terrible players, not game wise but personality wise, in game don't translate to their irl persona. Rachel Reilly is one who was polarizing as a person in game but ended up being a nice person out of the game as we saw her make amends with Ragan. Morgan i heard isn't the manipulating annoying type as we saw her in game antics with Vince. same with Ivette in BB6

But then of course there's the players who the audience loved in game but have become more negative in the real world..Janelle is a perfect example. She was america's favourite until her irl politics got in the way when she became a prominent MAGA supporter.

and then there's just the awful people in game who turned out to be awful irl too like Aaryn, Ginamarie, Nick in BB21 and now Kamu with all his past social media coming out with some calling for his removal.

BB Producers Favour 3 Houseguests (obvious who) for sky high ratings in 5 years

This site says producers are over the moon with big brother ratings this high in 5 years after they invited 3 star players, 1 returnee Angela and 2 "popular" Survivor alums, Dee and Devens to join this season and believe this was the reason for its ratings being this high in half a decade.

Although producers can't "rig" the game in their favour, they can however favour them in competitions such as the speed of the spinning chair competition that helped Devens win the special power that can be used for up to 6 weeks or turning a blind eye on his fellow survivor star, Dee for eating snacks from Kamu and BB turning a blind eye unlike Audrey in BB17 when she was punished with an extra vote against her which flooded waves of outrage on social media for BB not punishing her.

The amount of people voting in the Time Capsule and engagement on social media is helping execs feel good about this season and will likely have more reality crossovers in the future to keep the show fresh with new audiences watching.

What Pre-Jury BB Players do you think Deserve a Second Chance at Big Brother?

To this day only Davonne (the only female pre-juror), Jase, Jessie, Kaysar, David and maybe there's another who didn't make it to jury but were given second chances. Kaysar remains the only pre-juror to play multiple times and never made it to jury.

Who do you wanna see that never made it to jury get another shot at the game? I'm sure people will want to say Tucker or even Matt on that same season get a second chance. or among the strong females who left early like Reilly or Amber. a lot of these people are still around since you see them on other shows like The Challenge in particular.

Personally i'd like to see Cameron from BB19 or Jodi from BB14 get a second chance cause they got cut on the first day and never got to play cause of a stupid twist. They often show Jodi's image in past competitions though we never see her in person again so i think these 2 should get a second chance.

Rachel Reilly is preparing for SURVIVOR incase CBS gives her the call to complete her dream.

Although Rachel's return to BB28 came to an end as soon as she entered, she revealed she's preparing for yet another reality show..Survivor!. Rachel has competed on other reality shows already including The Amazing Race with her husband, Brendan and then The Traitors but now she wants to complete her reality show dreams by appearing on Survivor and has been preparing incase she gets the call by learning how to make fire for starters.

Brendan was asked if he wanted to do reality again but he's busy being a Dad and taking care of their kids when Rachel is gone and being a medical physicist but is supportive of his wife doing reality tv.

Casting has already been done for 51 and 52 so don't expect to see Rachel soon but maybe Fall 2027 if CBS wants her on.

Personally i don't think she'd do well on Survivor unless they cast all reality tv stars since she'll be one of the older female competitors and she might annoy people easily. Survivor is way more physical than BB.

James Gunn says Devens was set for MOT Cameo but he backed out to do BB28

Now that explains why Devens gave a shout out to James Gunn during eviction night as he and Gunn are friends and Devens was set to do a cameo for the sequel to Superman which will be titled Man of Tomorrow but Devens had to back out of it without explaining why until just recently when Gunn realized he bailed to do BB28 of which Gunn is a fan of the show.

What past BB seasons do you think had "Production Interference"?

People still have theories on production interference with the show and with returnees and survivor veterans this season i'm sure there will be accusations.

The biggest production interference i remember people claimed was when the duo twist in BB13 was brought back after Porsche opened pandora's box giving Rachel and Jordan a chance to both stay which they did.

Another happened in BB20 when Kaitlyn was offered an easy chance to get a re-entry back into the house in her eviction but failed that challenge.

Although in that same season in BB13 people had production interference written all over Brendan's chance to come back into the house battling Lawon so he would at least be on the Jury.

Then there's people saying contestants had a change of heart immediately following their diary room confessions by changing their targets out of the blue. Or giving some players a better edit than others so the audience will vote accordingly in america's vote polls.

I'm sure there's others but i can't remember all of them now.

Julie Chen Trashes Devens, finds him annoying and is rooting for Dee.

Not that her opinion matters much but she gave her 2 cents on the survivor players of which she wasn't a fan of since there's no hook to inviting them unlike Cirie when she was secretly playing with her son for half the game.

However now she says devens, being a news anchor like herself, is playing a terrible game and finds him annoying by talking so much and exposing alliances already whereas Dee is calling him out for doing that and is playing the smart game so she is rooting for Dee among the 2 of them.

Dee is forming the same alliance as in Survivor 45 except...

This group isn't as strong as her alliance she made in Survivor.

Angela is her Julie except we know how Angela can be a loose cannon

Devens and Barrett can be split into her Drew with brains and somewhat brawn but we don't know if Barrett is a good competitor yet and Devens was more of a strategist rather than a challenge beast

and that leaves Drew who is i guess like Austin except for the love duo but he doesn't strike me as a challenge beast that Rome or Kamu might be so he's a question mark too.

Their group of 5 maybe good for keeping each other safe but other than being loyal, Dee is as of now the strongest member meaning she's prime target. Production will have to do a lot of the work to keep them safe

u/animaniacs1983 — 3 months ago

Based on the premiere, Who do you think will be the early targets?

they didn't really go into detail on relationships but seeing as it's 9-8 in the women's favour again it depends how the alliances go but the men seem much stronger this year than last.

I can see Ashley being a target cause her high energy might rub people the wrong way, like Drew is who's rubbing Melody the wrong way already though she herself might be a target if she's always negative. Kamu obviously a physical threat with Barrett and Haley who seems to be just there and could be used as a "pawns".

I'm sure CBS will do anything to protect the alums as long as they can, especially Angela.
