I need recommendations for really funny sitcoms filmed infront of an audience. Some of my favorites are Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, some episodes of Frasier (the episodes with misunderstandings are the best), Fresh Prince of Belair, could be something from the 90's with at least more than one season.
Big Brother needs to pick a lane. Either give us an all vets season where everyone knows the game and comes to play...Or give us an all newbie season where everyone starts on equal footing.
Mixing vets and newbies almost always creates an uneven playing field. The veterans have experience, and often production knows exactly what they'll bring. The newbies spend half the season trying to catch up. Even though statistically a newbie is likely to win, we saw that that with Dan, Paul, and Cirie, but why start one group with a built-in advantage? the entire season just ends up revolving around them. Even if you argue that Devens and Dee are first time players but they have experience playing social games, Devens is a two time survivor player and was the front runner to win his first time and was the second front runner behind Cirie his second time, and Dee won Survivor by playing exactly how she's playing BB right now, and she was on the challenge as well. That's a lot of experience. All vets or all newbies. Stop mixing them.
Angela got Devens to focus on Rome, Kamu to focus on Jason, and Haley to target Drew? She’s moving this house in the direction she wants without having to get any blood on her hands.
CIRIE FIELDS
Win or lose, Season 50 is just another reminder that she doesn’t need idols. She doesn’t need immunity runs, she just needs people. And somehow, even after all these years… they still fall for it, not because she’s loud, not because she dominates challenges, but because, once again, she’s proving that the most dangerous player on Survivor is the one who understands people the best. This season, you can feel her presence in almost every decision, even when she’s not at the center of the chaos. Votes shift, plans change, and somehow she’s always just a step ahead, calm, observant, and in control without needing to announce it.
And then there’s Jonathan. A player like that shouldn’t be easy to influence. Strong, confident, used to leading. But watch closely this season, he’s constantly checking in with her, asking what to do, moving in the direction she points. That’s not dominance in the obvious sense that’s influence. That’s someone who’s made herself so trusted that even strong players defer to her.
We’ve seen her pull people aside, plant ideas, and let others feel like it was their decision all along, while subtly guiding the direction. Win or lose, Season 50 is just another chapter in what she’s always been, not the flashiest player, but the one you realize too late has been running the game the whole time. This might be the last time we see her play Survivor but it's been a masterclass on how to play.
