After such an amazing season last summer, it’s hard to be too excited about the return of Big Brother. With just five episodes under the belt, it’s still hard to be excited…but there’s some potential. Let’s breakdown all of this year’s twists before we dive into the houseguests. Back on premiere night, Julie promised a […]

Episodes three through seven (“Empathy is a Boner Killer,” “Finger in the Dyke,” Fake it Till you Fake it some More,” “Ching Chong Chang,” and “Tongue-Tied,”) saw some big changes at Litchfied.

The 2 Bachelorettes nonsense is out of the way, the season’s big surprise addition has joined the ranks (Nick Viall, more on him in a moment) and the series premiere of Lifetime’s new drama UnREAL has me keen to write about my second favourite summer show (after Big Brother, of course) […]
