As a seasoned gamer and avid Big Brother fan, I’ve seen my fair share of Houseguests that left a lasting impression – good or bad. But Angela Murray? She’s like a wild card that keeps popping up at the most unexpected moments, stirring the pot in ways we haven’t seen for quite some time.
Heed this note! The ensuing discussion reveals spoilers from Big Brother Season 26, as of August 13th. You can watch the live feeds with a Paramount+ subscription or on Pluto TV, but beware, proceed at your own risk!
In the midst of Big Brother Season 26, there seems to be an unprecedented divide among viewers when it comes to houseguest Angela Murray. Some are advocating for her removal due to her harsh conduct, while others view her as the long-awaited refreshing influence that contemporary seasons have been missing. Initially, I was among her critics, but after four weeks, I must admit something: I’ve developed a fondness for Angela.
As a spectator, I usually find myself rooting for contestants I believe will emerge victorious in Big Brother, even though my forecasts are frequently off the mark. In this context, I feel that Angela is making the wrong strategic moves for someone aiming to win BB, but there’s something about her performance that keeps me hooked, and I can’t help but watch. Having initially disliked Angela, I now find myself advocating for others to give her another chance, and here’s why:
Angela’s Chaotic First HOH Set The Tone For The Season
In Season 26 of Big Brother, chaos reigned supreme, with Angela’s reign as Head of Household in Week 1 setting the stage. Her rule was akin to that of a paranoid despot, and her explosive confrontation with Matt Hardeman marked the beginning of the end for every alliance she had formed. After her outburst, she dismantled alliances left and right, ultimately sabotaging her own game. By week’s end, it appeared that her time in the house was numbered, and her inevitable eviction seemed imminent.
Interestingly, that hasn’t been the case so far. It appears that Angela’s turbulent nature has affected other Houseguests significantly, yet she continues to thrive amidst the turmoil. While other influential players overlook her to focus on eliminating supposedly greater threats, Angela has surprisingly had a veto used on her behalf. Remarkably, she even claimed the role of Head of Household during Week 4, despite lacking strong alliances. A month in, the house remains chaotic, primarily due to Angela setting the pace for it.
She’s An Objectively Bad Game Player, But Sometimes That Works Out
It’s tough to deny that Angela excels in competitions, given she’s won two Head of Household (HOH) titles. However, within significant competitions where outcomes are crucial, she hasn’t performed remarkably well thus far. Thankfully, she has powerful competitors like Tucker Laruriers as allies who can protect her and occasionally save her from eviction.
Regrettably, Angela’s social skills don’t make up for her inexperience in gameplay. She tends to be excessively cautious, willing to cut ties quickly, and is unreliable when situations become challenging. Remarkably, she continues to seek out new groups, such as the alliance she recently joined by listening in on their conversation while pretending to be on the floor.
Are you aware that I’ve been eagerly anticipating the moment when a Houseguest would covertly move about the house, eavesdropping on chats? It’s quite daring and unpredictable, yet she seems unfazed by it all. Remarkably, her actions have even led to an alliance with Tucker, Rubina Bernabe, T’Kor Clottey, and Kimo Apaka! Despite being at the bottom of the pecking order, it appears that she’s once more managing to avoid being a target as we approach Week 5. At times, it seems advantageous to be considered the least skilled player in the house.
She’s Emotional And Vulnerable In A Way Most Modern Houseguests Aren’t
In this rephrased version, let me say: “Big Brother” is a TV show where contestants, or Houseguests, are under constant scrutiny for about three months, broadcasted for several hours each day. Unlike earlier versions of the CBS reality series that were known for the chaos they generated, most Houseguests now exercise self-control, understanding that their in-house behavior can have repercussions on their professional careers, families, and overall public image once they return to the real world.
Angela appears to boldly tease, debate, and challenge her fellow Housemates without hesitation. It’s crucial to clarify that she doesn’t resort to offensively mocking others based on race or similar sensitive topics; instead, she can be blunt and somewhat annoying. It’s refreshing to observe such a character in the game, as she seems less concerned with shaping her gameplay for future careers as an influencer or the like.
Due to these factors, I find myself compelled to acknowledge Angela’s exceptional qualities and admit she’s been a long-awaited type of contestant for me. To clarify, I don’t believe she stands a chance at winning Big Brother, but I can’t imagine Season 26 being as captivating without her. Kudos to the casting team for spotting her talent and introducing her to shake things up as long as the drama continues.
On CBS, “Big Brother” is broadcast every Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), and on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET. Don’t miss out on what Angela may do next, as there will be more episodes featuring her in the coming week!
