The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.
What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.

Watching todays show and Heidi just said something along the lines of "this is like Real World vs Road Rules, it us versus them". No one else watching would have understood what shes talking about, but she just made herself my favorite. Oh and they also just admitted that The Hills was scripted and they were fed their lines. Not exactly surprising but still nice to know.

Speidi, Frankie and Paula are nominated

However I guess it is probably best Paula gets out of there before she really loses it.

As for the drama, I don't know. The first few days alway seem to be a bit slow. But I do get the feeling that Speidi have given up on there campaign of terror, and are just happy to make friends with people now. Also I was wondering whether Heidi comes across to you guys as insincere with her complement or if it just me being British.
I'm hoping Speidi survives the first eviction. Most of the cast is older this season which is strange. Mostly it's filled with young models and musicians. I'm afraid that the drama may be lacking this season!

The compliments to Claire seemed a bit over the top.

Brian needs to go, he is just awful. I don't mind Emma too much but she doesn't really add anything. I do however hate how she keeps going on about "if we evict the entertaining housemates then it will give the quiet housemates their chance to shine", no, just no. You clearly have no idea when it comes to reality television.
I'm behind, but I'm loving the bots hosts. Who's the redhead dangggggg

EPIC twist tonight. -Spoiler includes the name of the evicted housemate-Spoiler
Paula was evicted. At the end of the show Speidi was called to the diary room and given a secret task. They have to convince the housemates they want to walk from the show because they are disgusted that they all nominated them. Once the leave they will be sent to the basement, which has been turn into a luxury suite. There they will get to watch live footage from the house. They will be put back into the house after 24 hours and I'm guessing at that point they will be picking the housemates up for eviction on Friday.
salt&vinegar;332042 wrote:It would seem that way, and I'm pretty sure Brian said they will get to mess with the housemates (just like they did in the bedsit). I'm hoping they really **** off the housemates before they leave, so the whole 24 hours is just them *****ing about Speidi.
Bedsit 2.0? I'm loving the sound of that! I just hope they hear Rylan *****ing about them and go off on him!

But, I haven't liked any of the Channel 5 CBB winners, so he'll probably win.
:O how dare you S&V???I like what one of the BOTS panel members said about the F3 being Rylan, Ryan, and Razor... that would be perfect! they are all good guys and they are all good entertainment!Spoiler
I love Ryan!!! He is such a good guy you can get behind and root for... Sam can go, but he's still something nice to look at and him and Lacey where our showmance :(... i love the drams but they are not that boring! If anything Claire and Tricia can go... now they are a snoozefest... (Lacey too but for Sam's sake she can stay lol)My favs to win are def R³ and I also like Gillian a bit too :PSpoiler
I hope the Speidi twist creates some good drama!! Backstabbing and Lying! and I hope they all blow the house up when they re-enter... could get verrrry interesting!

It will be an interesting oneI want Speidi to win, but at this point I think Razor or Frankie will win.Spoiler
Ryan is well known and as nice a guy as anyone could ever be. Where as Sam is a nobody, who is good looking. I'm not sure who will go.

He doesn't go around causing drama... its not like thats the way to win the game now is it? Julian never caused drama.. and even though he wasn't my fav either, he was very popular. I just think he has a nice charm to him... partially because hes an aussie :P Also he hasnt shown much of it yet, but hes a hilarious character if you remember his VT and interview with Jamie. He's a great guy! Sometimes you gotta keep the more quiet ones around, they need time to come out of their shells. Razor is very endearing and hilarious. Big guy with a bigger heart. He's always up for a good time and he's also willing to try anything new and go where no one has gone before. I don't think he'll cause drama, but you never know with him.. thats why he's great to keep around and why i'd love to see him in the final. Rylan is a bit two-faced, but thats just cause hes trying to get on everyones good side. What he has going for him is his hilarious remarks. He's quite quick-witted and always keeping everyone is a good mood. He's also oblivious to the fact that hes actually likeable. He brings a bit of drama, but you cant hate on the guy... hes pretty good tv. Def. one of the most liveliest characters in the house.

salt&vinegar;332072 wrote:I'm too not sure, the whole show is about Heidi and Spencer, and this secret mission puts them even more in the limelight. If they can get to the final then maybe their in with a shot. Then again I thought this time last year that the Twins were in with a shot and they came last in the final vote.
I'm totally with you on this whole post. I'm fine with Razor or Frankie, but Speidi would be my pick, even though that's highly doubtful.
202mitch;332073 wrote:I absolutely agree with you on him, I just personally don't think that great people always make great tv. I think if he was with a particularly volatile cast he would really shine and be a major contender to win, but with this bunch of mostly pleasant HMs, he just fades into the background for me.

We're getting to see a side of Heidi that we haven't seen since the early days of The Hills too. At the start she was the fun-loving, carefree party girl, but when her and Spencer got together she seemed to really lose her fun personality.
Also did anyone else find it hilarious when they were getting their secret task and Heidi was letting rip on what she was going to say to the housemates when she goes back into the house, even Spencer was taken a back lol. In fact I think she might have been doing an impression of Spencer haha.

On this show I love her. Im just skipping through BOTS now to the Speidi task bits, and I love how when they say they are going Rylan is like, "well you have already packed" and showing them the emergency exits.
