Not only have the season 8 jurors been unavailable to the press upon eviction, but they seem to have disappeared entirely! In past seasons we’ve seen clips of what life is like at the sequester house, and although it’s rarely scintillating footage, I can’t help but wonder why we’re being denied.
Surely you know what I’m referring to: We’d see the houseguests speculate as to who would be joining their ranks, followed by the arrival of the most recent reject. Next that person would whip out a video tape (I guess BB hasn’t gone digital), and the houseguests would gather around to see clips of the competitions and ceremonies. (Diary Room footage was not included, as the purpose of sequester is to keep the jury unbiased.)
Again, more often than not this segment of the show was a snooze, but sometimes it was more exciting than what was happening in the Big Brother house! Remember when Howie flipped out at Chicken George and revoked his Jedi membership?
Regarding this season, I’m convinced we’re missing out on some priceless moments. You know Dustin must be ready to strangle Amber by now, and invariably Jen is up to some goofy stuff. So why can’t we see it?
One answer may be that Big Brother is doing sequester differently this time around. Perhaps the jury members are isolated from not only the outside world, but from one another as well to prevent them from influencing each other when it comes to the final vote.
Either that or there have been some budget cuts and the jury aren’t lounging at a resort in Tijuana—they are at the nearest Motel 6.
