[ trigger warning : this video unfortunately must deal with issues related to underage sex, white supremacy, and gun carrying / please, do not watch if these topics cause any emotional grievance to you.]

A very disturbing week

In this episode, you'll learn about:
  • how I was wrong about week 2, last week
  • how the game is played in Brazil (strategy)
  • the pub
  • how Ana Paula went absolutely mad due to Laércio
  • the massive row between them
  • the truth about creepy Laércio

  • a weird sequence of non-existent showmances
  • how Dona Geralda is absolutely awesome
  • the new axis of war: Ana Paula vs Daniel
I hope you enjoy it, and send me some feedback, please.

Philo Talks 002: Big Brother Brazil 16 - week 1

Welcome to one of the most exciting first weeks in Big Brother Brazil!  Hardly ever have we seen so much game playing and scheming happening in our game, mostly due to the nature of the game here, often rewarding people ''who are just being themselves, and don't talk game''.  So MUCH went on!  I invite you to check out Philo Talks 002 for a summary and comments on this fantastic game which is shaping up to be a really great season.



  • remember the endurance head-of-household competition and its four winners.
  • tell you about the four awesome new housemates, of which only two will stay.
  • go over their entry and the mixed reactions they got from the house.
  • focus on Ronan's freakout pattern.
  • amuse you with the rules and structures of our game.
  • reveal the "angel" -- our power-of-veto
  • show you all the backstabbing and whispering that made Ronan the villain.
  • happily show you how Munik is not flying under the radar.
  • go over all the strategy that the women showed.
  • say goodbye to Fernanda and William.
  • marvel at the nominations.
  • comment on Harumi vs Daniel
  • point out where week 2 might head to. 

  • I'd like to add that I'd love to hear from you.  Feel free to leave a comment! :)

    Philo Phala 006: Celebrity Big Brother UK 17: semana 3



    Essa temporada do Celebrity Big Brother UK 17 está tão intensa, com tanta coisa acontecendo, que esse Philo Phala foi extremamente complicado pra ''escrever'' e trabalhoso pra editar.  Mas compensa; afinal, estou podendo repartir com todos as minhas impressões sobre a maneira UK de propor o jogo, algo que adoro.



    Nesse philo phala eu falo sobre:

    • o twist na prova dos marionetes
    • as "killer nominations": só quatro votam, um voto pra cada um.
    • Tiffany azeda.
    • a gosma que revela Gemma.
    • a panela de pressão chamada Gemma explode.
    • como Stephanie manipula Jeremy.
    • Gemma vs. Stephanie.
    • Stephanie dorme na solitária
    • a saída de David Gest, Angie Bowie e Kristina Rihanoff.
    • a votação-Fazenda logo após a saída de Kristina
    • Gemma explora Christopher
    • Gemma fica grávida, e depois não
    • a explosão II de Megan por causa de roupas
    • como Megan fofoca sobre Stephanie
    • Megan dá uns catas em Scotty, mas bye-bye anyways
    • CALCINHAS-GATE!
    • Steph está com problemas lá embaixo
    • Gemma e Danniella quebram a saída de emergência
    • todos no paredão, mas 3 já se salvaram.
    WOW! quanta coisa, né?
    Não deixem de comentar, por favor.  Faz toda a diferença pra mim.

    Philo Talks 001: Big Brother Brazil 16

    If there's a reason Big Brother Brazil is not a well-known outside our borders, I'd risk saying that the language barrier is it.  With that in mind, and fandom in my heart, I decided to proclaim myself the ambassador of Big Brother Brazil.  It's my pleasure to present our show to all of you, English speaking fans of reality shows, and more pointedly, Big Brother.



    In this episode I:

    • present myself
    • give a shout out to people I admire (Dr. Detroit / Jay and Miles / Tellymix)
    • explain (very quickly) the history of our show
    • talk about the transformation in BBB15
    • show our house's theme
    • marvel at the diary room
    • point out how housemates are different this time
    • shock you with the reveal that Brazil hates game-playing
    • go on a bit about each of them
    • show you our presenter, Pedro Bial
    • discuss the possible twist
    • show you how our first head-of-household competition went
    I hope you enjoy it, and don't get mad at me for murdering your language.  Please leave a comment if you should wish.

    Philo Phala 005: Celebrity Big Brother UK 17 semana 2

    A segunda semana do Celebrity Big Brother UK 17 com certeza já é uma das semanas mais intensas que essa franquia já viu.  Tivemos brigas, xoxações, um ataque de nervos absurdo (até segurança entrou), além da inacreditável confusão a respeito da morte de David Bowie.  Acompanhe comigo alguns dos melhores momentos desse jogo louco que está se desenhando.




    Nesse philo phala, eu cubro:


    • o ataque de nervos da Megan
    • a gradual revelação de John ser um control-freak
    • as manguinhas de fora de Gemma Collins
    • a eliminação de Nancy
    • o mimimi de Stephanie
    Espero que vocês gostem e comentem.
