Big Brothers Episode 5: Johnny Tremmel in Studio Aug 03, 2018

Show notes

So to make up for not doing an episode this week, we did double the time. Chris and Vito were in Montreal and somehow could not access the show at all through the CBS app in a different country. "I'm" Chris Stanley got really sick the night before the podcast and couldn't make it in so Adam Poch (Big Brother 13) and "Power of" Vito did it on their own. All season the guys have been starting the show saying "this is the best episode yet" and it continues again this week. It's no BS, the show is just the best its been in years. The cast wants to play the game and nobody is out here playing for second place or even worse, playing for Jury. Adam gives some great Houseguest perspective on this one, about if he ever dealt with HoHitis, getting to do a storage room celebration, how as a houseguest you figure out what's probably getting on the show and what ends up getting left on the cutting room floor and being in the house when Lawon thought he had "superpowers". We catch you up on the current house drama and where we think the gameplay is heading. Who is doing bad, who is playing it perfectly and everything in between. For the second half of the podcast, "Power of" Vito sits down with Johnny Tremmel, a Casting AP/Recruiter for the show. Johnny helps with all the east coast casting and if you've been to the New York open call then you've met him. Johnny is a superfan all the way back to season 1 who actually auditioned with Adam back in the day. Johnny gives some advice to people who may want to try out for the show while giving a perspective on the game from someone who helps put the show together. Some people he found that ended up making the show were Cody Calafiore and Frankie Grande from BB16, Jessica Graf from BB18 and Haleigh from this current season, and we get his opinion on how he thinks those players did and how Haleigh is doing now.

Big Brothers BB20 Episode 4: Enzo Palumbo in Studio Jul 21, 2018

Show notes

On this week's episode of Big Brothers, Power of Vito, Chris Stanley and Adam Poch (Big Brother 13) are together again and for the first time this season have a guest. Adam got Enzo Palumbo from Big Brother season 12 to call in. If you watched season 12 then you know about the Brigade, one of the most successful Big Brother alliances of all time.

Big Brothers: BB20 Episode 3: A House Without Swag Jul 13, 2018

Show notes

For the first time in Big Brothers history, all three of the brothers are in studio together. Remember, before Big Brother 20 had the Bros alliance, we had the Big Brothers. "Power of" Vito, Chris Stanley and Adam Poch (Big Brother 13) are here when you need them most, because the last 2 weeks have been a confusing shitshow and you're going to need them to hold your hand through all of this.

This week was run by the frantic life coach Kaitlyn, and she made her mark on the season. Kaitlyn says her spirit guide told her what to do this week, so apparently Tyler is a part time spirit guide because he's the one who pulled her strings this week and orchestrated the Swaggy C backdoor.

Swaggy did a great job this week and worked his ass off to stay, if the Swaggy we saw this week started off the game he probably could have went far. All of his manipulation tactics weren't enough though and he got the boot. The brothers cover the gameplay of Swaggy and talk about his casting tape which we saw on the show last night where Swaggy said to play the exact opposite way of how he entered the house.

Another big topic on today's show was Kaitlyn's love triangle…square…pentagon? Well, the Big Brothers give you the live feed lowdown on what's been going on in and outside of the house. It's some gossip you may not want to miss out on. The main people involved are Tyler, Kaitlyn, Fessy and Kaitlyn's boyfriend of 5 years who isn't inside of the house. Last year Big Brothers became the Paul show, this year it's looking like the Tyler and Kaitlyn show, but we have a lot of Big Brother left and people's personalities are showing more and more every day.

Adam gave the scoop on his Week 2 rankings, make sure to always read those over at Big Brother Network. Adam is an avid feed watcher and gives you a legitimate ranking based on what's really going on in the house, not just what CBS wants you to see. Follow him on Twitter @HeavyMetalTeddy,

Big Brothers: BB20 Episode 2: Queen Kaitlyns Messy Ride Jul 06, 2018

Big Brothers: BB20 Episode 1 Jun 29, 2018

Show notes

The Big Brothers, "Power of" Vito Calise and Chris Stanley are back for season 20 and they've added a new sibling, Adam Poch (Big Brother 11). Adam was on his way to Disney World so could only do a quick phone call (that Chris Stanley didn't seem too happy about) but Adam will be more involved in episodes to come.

Season 20 is looking great to start. There are NO returning Houseguests, which is a positive after 2 seasons of returnees and the disaster that was the Paul run house of season 19. These Houseguests want to win the game, there doesn't seem to be anyone right now who is just hoping to "make jury".

This episode of the show is more of a preview for the season. The feeds just started the night before but the boys wanted to get you an episode ASAP. Once the season gets more underway Big Brothers will be the best place for you to go and see what's happening on the live feeds and what everyone on the internet is saying.

Vito's pick for the BB20 winner is Tyler, Adam's is Winston and Chris chose JC. Only one of them can be right, and sorry JC, but history proves that's not usually Chris Stanley. Towards the end of the episode Vito and Chris give some quick rundowns of every Houseguest with the general consensus being this is a great cast, so kudos to you Robyn Kass!

For once Vito and Chris agree on something, and that is how stupid this year's "technology" theme comes off. Vito is basically a child who said he is entertained by robot Sam, but for the most part both Big Brothers think we would be better off just having a "Big Brother 2 – 11" themed season, real gameplay, more grounded competitions and less focused on Showmances.

Big Brothers: BB19 Finale Recap with Adam Poch Sep 22, 2017

Show notes

Power of Vito and Chris Stanley are back for the final time to talk about Big Brother 19. The live finale was exciting and ended with Paul once again coming in second place, for those of you keeping track, the second time in a row.

Josh, the "human bean" from Miami pulled a move like Ian Terry from Big Brother 14 and used the bitter jury to his advantage and beat Paul in a 5-4 vote. Paul refused to own up to his amazing game and played when questioned by the jury and instead continued to lie to everyone. Normally, this would seem like the reason Paul lost the game but this bitter jury is unprecedented. Elena was straightforward about being bitter and Alex said she was going to vote for Paul until she was told in the Jury House that she was a "joke" to Paul and he talked behind her back the entire game. Paul lost the game from overplaying and what some would call "bad jury management" but everyone will remember he played an incredible game with what he was dealt but had to deal with the issues of what may go down as the most bitter jury of all time

Cody won America's Favorite Player because like the Jury, we had a very very bitter fanbase who wanted all of the houseguests to be confused at the result. If you are a Dr. Will fan (who isn't) and have some time, go check out his interviews from the backyard on Facebook Live after the finale.

Big Brothers S2 Episode 11: Paul's Pack Of Dogs Bark At The Jury House Sep 16, 2017

Show notes

The Big Brother season is winding down and season 19 is almost all wrapped up with our newest addition to the Big Brother winners circle. We finally got to visit the jury house which we saw may be the most bitter jury of all time. In what should not be a surprise to anyone Cody isn't taking the responsibility as a member of Jury to seriously and is refusing to take part in the process. He called Matt a pussy and attempted to storm off.

Raven is still completely oblivious to the fact that she was screwed over and is convinced her alliance with Paul never died out and she was, in fact, the "puppet master". When she said this all of the other houseguests began to laugh at her expense and point out how ridiculous these statements were.

Inside the house (which is unfortunately way less entertaining) Paul has continued to be the top dog without even a bump in the road. He's unstoppable at competitions in these last weeks. The only thing in his way possibly is the fact that he may have overplayed and Josh has been spilling some proverbial tea in his goodbye messages.

The guys also talked to Adam Poch on the phone about his rankings and Tofurkey (Christmas) for this week of Big Brother!

Big Brothers S2 Episode 10: Josh, The Hero We Need Right Now Sep 09, 2017

Show notes

Well folks, Chris Stanley is back from his Parisian vacation and that means the band is back together with Power of "Vito" and Chris Stanley giving you the inside scoop to the Big Brother house. Another double eviction has come and the guys are excited as ever for it.

Moment of the week though, well for "Power of" Vito it was Josh and Christmas' argument where she wanted to make sure Josh was aware she wasn't just another "club whore". Does anyone else think Christmas is giving Josh way too much credit to even think he would access to "club whores"?

With Josh seeming to be catching onto Paul's game this week, the guys thought there was a chance the Miami sensation could take out "The Rocker" Paul (as the Big Brother voice over guy likes to call Paul). Well, he didn't, he actually just fed into Paul's bullshit even more and agreed to go along with some awful plan to trick everyone they were fighting which OF COURSE these idiotic houseguests just went along with.

As predictable and boring these past few weeks have been, it is great that was got to see a good old fashioned blindside like we got with Jason! The poor guy didn't see it coming at all. He left in a hot rage, it seemed like Paul put together the perfect plan but then Josh's goodbye message to Jason has possibly blown up everything Paul has been working on. Then all the feedsters got something they have all been waiting for, the eviction of Raven. It could have been much better since Alex had just gotten all the power in the house with HoH but instead of making a big game move while she's on her own, she played it safe and went after Kevin and Raven.

Big Brothers S2 Episode 9: Adam Poch from BB13 in Studio! Sep 01, 2017

Show notes

It's time for another episode as Big Brothers, the season is winding down and we will have our newest Big Brother winner in less than 20 days. "Power of" Vito was without his trusted co-host Chris Stanley this week but couldn't go a week without talking Big Brother, so your special co-host for this episode of Big Brothers is … ADAM POCH, from season 13! Adam came in third place in his season and was a real pleasure to talk to.

"Power of" Vito and Adam got along right off the bat both being huge fans in this XL episode of Big Brothers. The two could not stop talking about the game and had a lot to say about the demise of Maven, the rise of Paul and how TMZ is just coming after Big Brother this season. Adam was not hesitant to talk about his experience on the show as well.

Fun fact: Adam said off-air (don't worry, said this was fine to say) that when it comes to Jury, the houseguests get that DVD, do their filmed segment and then are not allowed to talk game in between! That didn't even come up because there is so much to cover this year. As boring and predictable some weeks have been we have still seen some of the most fights in any season with some pretty interesting gameplay from some Houseguests.

Every week Adam Poch writes a blog/player ranking on Big Brother Network. He ranks the players based on Bacon (if they're good) and Tofu (if they're bad). He also gives ToFurkey of the week to who he feels was the weeks biggest loser. It's a great way to stay updated with who is doing what in the house if you cannot be on those feeds 24/7/

Big Brothers S2 Episode 8: The Zingbot Cometh Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

Power of "Vito" and his co-host Chris Stanley put it perfectly when they said this was another "medicore" week in the Big Brother house. With Jess and Cody gone, Paul is going full steam ahead with his minions and it looks like there is no stopping him.

Last week "Power of" Vito did give Paul credit for playing a good game and choosing not to discredit the vet with the advantages he was given this year. This comes up on this week's episode where the guys discuss if at this point fans should just accept the interference of production and judge players based on how they use that to their advantage. Jess was most likely given an advantage by production with her halting hex, did she use is the best way she possibly could or waste it? Tweet as @BigBrothersPod what you think.

"Power of" Vito also got into an interesting debate with Chris Stanley, the two did not see eye to eye at all. The topic was, should houseguests be made aware of the final vote counts for each eviction, or would gameplay be better because houseguests be more inclined to take bigger risks if the numbers did not come back to bit them in the ass.

The biggest even of this week in the Big Brother house? The return of Zingbot, a Big Brother tradition that houseguests and viewers look forward to. This year Zingbot came in especially mean though, called Raven ugly, called Josh fat, called Alex a whore and brought up houseguests having sex (or trying to have sex) in the house,

The guys really picked a fight with Alex and Jason and have issues with the way Alex is playing the game. "Power of" Vito and Chris Stanley both feel like she thinks she is playing a much better game than she is. The guys also go into Christmas saying she had two "major targets" on the block with Mark and Matt and they also went through a list from Entertainment Weekly ranking the all of the Big Brother winners based on a fan poll.
