Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Glass House Episode 7

Tom's Take:


I'm really losing interest in Glass House. I just don't have time for Glass House when Big Brother is on.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother Game and Show Week 2

Tom's Take:




This week lost a lot of drama with Willie leaving that way, and JoJo and Danielle playing the who can campaign less technique. The real drama on the feeds that CBS completely missed was the Cold War between Team Boogie and Team Janelle as they prepare for their massive Eight Is Enough alliance to be broken up. I'm going to grade the players as if the coaches aren't entering the game, even though I think they are, so here we go.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother Player Scores

Tom's Take:




What a crazy week. Best first week of a season by far in my opinion. And after some consideration I have decided to give grades to everyone, including the coaches, because the are "definitely" coming back into the game. So here we go!

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Glass House Episode 5

Tom's Take:


So Big Brother 14 has been way better than Glass House in just the two episodes we've seen and the live feeds. This is how good a show can be when there's actual gameplay, but let's break down my character rankings.

Five Drinks Into Fantasy Sports: Fantasy Football Drafts


Rounds 2 and 3

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother 14 Premiere!

Tom's Take


Big Brother is back! We've got 12 new houseguests, and 4 returning houseguests as "coaches."

So I think the 4 Coaches will eventually join the game regardless of what anyone else says, but for now let's judge how the 4 Coaches did with their draft.

1. Dan


Dan picked Kara, Danielle, and Jodi. Jodi is gone, so clearly Dan is the loser in this draft. I actually like the Kara and Danielle picks though. Danielle is going to be horribly underestimated, and I think she'll make it pretty far. Kara on the other hand has a cool head on her shoulders, and should be able to bond with Britney and Janelle to keep herself in the game a few more weeks than you would think. I also predict that she might be the endurance threat of the season. Still, Dan is already down a man on Day 6, and he is lacking an athletic male to help him out in challenges. He will have to pit Boogie against Janelle and Britney to stay strong in this game.

2. Janelle.


Janelle's draft was a little off in my book. Wil, Ashley, and Joe was a fairly balanced draft, but I don't really think Wil deserved the #3 pick, but she managed to keep anyone from her team from going home, while not taking the HoH power for her own team. She's made an alliance with Britney's team, so she's in a good position in the house. I'm looking forward to seeing Janelle clash with Boogie.

3. Britney


Britney won the first HoH competition, so I would say she has the best position in the house. I like her team, but I think it's going to be a very hard team to keep together. She got Shane, the boring but athletic Jeff like player of the season, JoJo the fun New Yorker who I'm sure will cause drama, and oh yeah, she got Willie Hanz. I have a feeling this season will feature at least one blow out between Britney and Willie, as she struggles to control this uncontrollable force.

4. Boogie


Boogie had the best draft in my opinion. Frank looks to be physically dominant, and is probably smart to boot, Ian has brains and could be a good endurance player, and Jenn serves as a good anchor for the team. Unfortunately for Boogie, I don't think his good draft will help him. I forsee his players get targeted early, and otherwise good players will get kicked out early.

Prediction to win: I'm voting for JoJo to win this season, and Britney to get the coach prize. I think Britney's team will get off to an early lead, sacrifice Shane to get Willie and JoJo to the end, where Willie will have pissed off the jury.

Tune in next Thursday for my Game and Show blog!

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Glass House Episode 4

Tom's Take:


It's a pretty meh episode, but I like the house being divided, and I like that The Friendship part 2 is clearly unpopular with the viewers and not realizing they need to switch it up.





1. Joy: 93 points. Joy vs. Kevin last night. It was fun. I don't care if people are classifying the teams as Jeffrey vs. Andrea, Joy vs. Kevin is where the real drama is. And I'm team Joy. I hope the final two is her and her showmance with Gene. I love this unconventional showmance!


2. Gene. 77 points. He's a teddy bear. Let's face it, he's awesome.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Glass House Episode 3

Tom's Take


I'm enjoying the show so far, I'm not going to lie. I think the recent divide in the house provides for some interesting tension. I like one side, the Gene/Joy side, but  the other side has Kevin who is probably pretty popular. Game on!
