POSTS TAGGED: big brother

I think it’s time you all came over to the TVGASM Facebook Page and check out what you’ve been missing. So much has happened over the weekend that I can’t even begin to tell you all about it. Just this morning, Disney Icon, Annette Funicello passed away after battling multiple sclerosis for years. She was [...]

“Marijuana really IS the gateway drug to “crack”!” – Cheryl Tepe Who’s crack is this? BIG controversy going on at our TVgasm Facebook Page over this Justin Bieber picture. What could possibly be wrong with this? One of these things is not like the others…. The Kardashians are the latest victims of “swatting”. Have you heard [...]

“But it was alright, everything was alright, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.” – George Orwell, 1984 Where do I begin, so much to talk about… I could just explode! Okay, I’ll start with CBS announcing the NEW schedule for Big Brother 15. They have added [...]

“The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton” – Ricky Gervais – 2012 Golden Globes Host The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards will air this Sunday on NBC, at 8pm ET. It’s always considered the “fun” awards ceremony, because it mixes the movie stars in with the TV stars [...]

“Hi, I’m Heidi, nice to meet you. Hi, I’m Heidi, nice to meet you. Hi, I’m Heidi, nice to meet you. Hi, I’m Heidi, nice to meet you. Hi, I’m Heidi, nice to meet you….” – Heidi Montag Yes, it’s Big Brother season across the pond with 12 ZZZZ-List celebrities, who entered the BB house [...]

A while back, the networks decided we needed more reality shows each year, so they started to double up on our “favorites”. Now we have two seasons, a Fall and a Mid-season show.  We no sooner get done celebrating the winner of Survivor: Philippines and it’s time for Survivor: Caramoan (Feb.13). Can you remember who won Survivor: [...]

We all know there is nothing better than a good “showmance” on Big Brother. That’s one of the reasons we watch. There has been quite a few over the years. None have been more publicized than Brenchel. For those of you living under a rock, that’s Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly, who fell in love [...]

A winner is announced!

Tonight’s episode is rough, you guys. After the legitimately shocking blindside of Shane by Dan during Thursday’s live show, you’d think Big Brother would jam-pack Sunday’s episode with all sorts of insanity related to the fallout of Dan’s THIRD betrayal of Danielle. Instead, we get a clip show. But first! A quick five-minute recap of [...]

Welcome to the surprise eviction episode! Doesn’t look like there will be any shockers in store for us tonight, but I haven’t paid rent for September yet, so for all I know the bot might be asking me insipid questions tonight with her oddly crossed eyes. What causes that? I don’t remember her eyes being [...]

The contestants play for HoH, and everyone but Dan continues being an idiot.

Okay, admission: I was watching this while also watching the DNC. So forgive me if I missed a few things here and there. I’m sorry I was being a PATRIOT. When Joe Biden speaks, you listen, goddamnit. If only in the hopes that he’ll accidentally reveal that Obama supports bigamy or something. Anyway, Julie opens [...]

Thursday, September 6 The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, on this date in 1620. America’s Got Talent (NBC 8pm) The judges reveal the Top Six; Train performs. Here’s hoping Pat Monahan keeps his “untrimmed chest” well and truly covered during his band’s performance, but his predilection for deep-V shirts makes this an unlikely prospect. [...]

Hey hey BB fans!  As I’m sure you know, everyone interesting is gone.  And by everyone interesting, I mean Britney.  The rest of these boring sacks of yell-talk make me sleepy.    I miss your snark…   Last week Ian won the HoH, and after pretending like he might be smart enough to actually make a [...]

Wednesday, September 5 On this date in 1698, Tsar Peter I of Russia imposed a beard task on all Russians who were not peasants or clergy, in an attempt to Westernize Russian society. Big Brother (CBS 8pm) The contestants compete in the veto competition. Next thing you know, they’ll be competing for head of household. [...]

Remember how exciting last week was? Well, this is Big Brother, so Expect the Unexpected, which is to say: Expect the Mundane. Oh god, tonight’s episode is so horribly predictable, as we continue on our slow, interminable march to Dan’s ultimate victory. These last few weeks of Big Brother are always the worst, and I [...]

Thursday, August 30 “I can visit your Sydney, or your Melbourne, but I am not welcome in your bush.” The city of Melbourne turns 177 today. The Economist Group’s Intelligence Unit has named it “the world’s most livable city” for the past two years, so let’s not all ruin that by moving there at once. [...]

Hi, guys! Let’s all be in a good mood, because Big Brother is VERY ENTERTAINING tonight, for the first time in what feels like years. Ever since the backstabbing of Janelle, the house has been more or less chaos, with no strong alliance sticking together, and I just love, love, love it. The veterans are [...]

Wednesday, August 29 Michael Jackson was born on this date in 1958. Nineteen. Fifty-eight. There’s been a lot of talk lately around the ‘Gasm lately about child stars gone wrong, but I think we can all agree that it doesn’t get much sadder than Michael Jackson.   Big Brother (CBS 8pm) The contestants compete in the [...]

Wednesday, August 22 On this date in 565, Saint Columba, an Irish missionary to Scotland, reported seeing a monster in Loch Ness. History is silent on whether or not he gave Nessie t’ree-fiddy. Big Brother (CBS 8) The contestants compete in the veto competition. I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is? So [...]

It is the final episode of the first (and very possibly last) season of The Glass House.  We wade through a montage of the season so far.  In the bathroom, Jeffy tells Erica about Kevin’s “lady friend” in Toledo and wonders if Kevin has mentioned this to her.  It’s a bed buddy, so I’m not [...]

Shane about Pandora: “Do they do that every week form now on? Something weird is happening again in the Big Brother house. The question is this…. ” ? ” …. Want to know more? So would the houseguest, but that’s all Big Brother has hinted to them so far and it’s driving them CRAZY! Want [...]

Before we begin, I have to say how proud I am that television is finally allowing gorgeous thin people who can barely form a sentence to have their own shows playing brilliant lawyers. We’ve come a long way, baby. Previously, One L Wil was sent packing. He came into the house as a flaming homosexual [...]

Remember how last Thursday’s episode was chock-full of filler? Well, this one is worse! These houseguests have become so insufferable, we actually spend almost half this episode interviewing people who aren’t in the house. And it is such a relief, to be honest. Things start off on a sour note, as Julie says we’ve reached [...]

We open tonight’s Big Brother with Joehawk yelling in the diary room. Unless it’s an apology for wearing a fauxhawk, yelling at me, or grossing me out with your tampon string facial hair, I’m not interested. Shhhh. Just shhhhh. He says that he’s not gonna be beat so easily! “Pack a lunch America, cuz we’re [...]

Wednesday, August 15 On this date in 1040, King Duncan of Scotland was killed in battle against MacBeth. Seventeen years later, MacBeth also died on this date, fighting against the army of  Máel Coluim mac Donnchada. Big Brother (CBS 8pm) The contestants compete in the veto competition. Today must be Wednesday. So You Think You [...]

Jeffy tells us that his heart broke when Erica started crying.  Oh please, you sent her down there.  He’s all crocodile-tearing over having his best friend also be his biggest competition.  Mike is mocking Jeffy and the fact that he’s kinda’ all alone in the house now.  Kevin asks Mike if he was the only [...]

Hey guys! Last week’s backdoor eviction of Janelle was MIGHTY shocking, wasn’t it? It was so wonderful to see the new kids thinking for themselves and taking the veterans along for a ride the whole time. Now that one of the most popular Big Brother players of all time had been kicked out, what sort [...]

Thursday, August 9 Olympic Fun Fact: Historically, the host cities of the Olympic Games tend to win more medals during their hosting year than they have in the Games four years prior (for example, Great Britain’s 146 medals won during the 1908 London Olympics as opposed to their 2 medals during the 1904 Olympics in [...]

Wednesday, August 8 Olympic Fun Fact: The 1908 Olympic Games were originally supposed to be hosted in Rome, but were moved to London because the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius required the funds intended for the Olympics to be diverted to rebuilding the town of Naples. Big Brother (CBS 8pm) Contestants compete in the veto [...]

A housemate-created music video of some song I’ve never heard introduces this episode.  It was probably better than the real video.  Gene and Kevin seemed to be the only ones who didn’t know the song, which makes sense since they’re the only straight males in the house at the moment. Last week, Joy and Andrea [...]

Are you ready for the dullest episode of the season? THAT’S THE SPIRIT! Listen: we have a lot of reasons to be down on the United States these days (people shoving fried chicken in their mouths to show how much they hate gays, a bumbling buffoon traveling around the world to represent us, the continued [...]

Thursday, August 2 Olympic Fun Fact: My grandfather (GrandadBint) received a gold medal at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California. He was not an athlete; as an engineer for IBM, GrandadBint was instrumental in developing a program that was used in collecting and figuring scores for the competitors as the Olympic Games began [...]

The Power of Veto involves clowns and not letting your balls drop

Wednesday, August 1 Olympic Fun Fact: The oldest known Olympic medalist was Oscar Swahn of Sweden, who won his final medal (a Silver medal in the Running Deer, Double Shot Team event) at the age of 72. Big Brother (CBS 8pm) Contestants compete in the veto competition. The burning question on everybody’s mind tonight is… [...]

This week, we will find out if Jeffy made a huge mistake by going down the tubes or if we’ll be rid of Kevin and his terrible attempt at hiding his bald spot.  Mike thinks Jeff deserves to go home, because he was cocky enough to put himself into Limbo.  Andrea was basically telling us [...]

This show will get booted from CBS faster than HoHo did. Previously on Big Brother, a gay guy beat a lesbian at hockey, … Don’t move. …male pattern baldness beat a gay guy, … and a nerd beat…well, Ian didn’t beat anyone at anything. He did, however, go down on a bear. The show has [...]

I’m so sorry for the delay on this recap, my dear Gasmii.  I’m out of my meds (because I’m stupid and missed my appt) and going through withdrawal, so I feel like a giant bag of flaming shit. We start out this episode with Stephanie pointing out that the house now has more wiener than [...]

Previously on Big Brother, the gay guy had There’s Something About Mary sperm bangs, a hot hairless Redneck got all violent with pork rinds, and white trash got dipped in cheese. Cheese n’ Crackers I love the eviction episodes for the same reason I love going home to Texas: I don’t feel quite as homely [...]

Thursday, July 26 On this date in 1953, approximately 100 Arizona police officers and National Guard soldiers raided a polygamous community in Short Creek, Arizona. The entire community was taken into custody, and 263 children were taken from their parents. Some children were eventually returned to their parents, but several were not. While Arizona governor [...]
