‘Big Brother’ Season 20 Betting Odds Episode 11

–The long running ‘Big Brother’ reality show is back for a 20th season.

–’Big Brother’ is a spin-off of a Dutch TV series of the same name.

–Episode 11 of ‘Big Brother’ Season 20 airs Thursday, July 19 on CBS TV.

We’re going to pick up our weekly ‘Big Brother’ coverage from this point. Season 20 is well underway and the next ‘live eviction show’ aka Episode 11 will air on Thursday, July 19. For the time being at least we’re just going to update odds for the weekly ‘live eviction’ shows. This might change at some point but for now there’s not much happening on the Wednesday and Sunday shows. The next ‘live elimination’ show after this is set for next Thursday, June 26.

To underscore my ‘not much happening’ premise–‘Big Brother’ is 9 episodes in at the time of this writing with Episode 10 scheduled for Wednesday and Episode 11 for Thursday. There have only been two contestants eliminated thus far–Steve Arienta got the heave ho in Week 1 as our #4 choice to be send home at +900. In Week 2, the dubiously named ‘Swaggy C’ was mercifully given the boot. ‘The Swag Man’ was our top choice to be the first player out but he somehow managed to hang on until Week 2. It was inevitable that he was an early out since it’s *never* a good idea to ‘self gloss’ and come up with your own lousy nickname. This fact of life doesn’t bode well for Angie Rockstar Lantry. We pointed this out clearly in our preseason analysis:

One upside to the CBS casting strategy–at least for me is that it simplifies the oddsmaking process in the early going. I’m able to set odds on ‘types’ of characters rather than individual characteristics. That’s why the three guys at the top of the odds table are there and why the two contestants at the bottom are where they are. Here’s some serious advice for aspiring reality show contestants: you can’t ‘self gloss’ yourself. Any nicknames have to be obtained spontaneously on the air. That’s why the two ‘self glossed’ contestants ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Swaggy C’ aren’t expected to go far this season.

Another contestant that isn’t exactly ‘self glossed’ but probably won’t do well this season is JC Monduix. He’s a ‘backwards baseball cap guy’ plus there’s plenty of other issues about him that should be obvious.

For what it’s worth, Swaggy C impressed someone on the show–he’s reportedly hot and heavy with houseguest Bayleigh Dayton.

In other news, website NSFW Big Brother suggests that the current iteration of the show might be one of the best ever for female nudity.

‘BIG BROTHER’ IS STILL ON THE AIR? I HAD NO IDEA.

I can’t count how many times I hear that over the course of the year. Actually, I hear this about every reality show. Here’s the deal–We cover reality TV extensively here at Sports Betting Experts and they all share a similar refrain in terms of their popularity. Their viewership is down significantly since their ‘glory days’ but they remain a staple of the analog era legacy broadcast networks due to their ability to due what few programs can–aggregate a decent sized viewing audience on a weekly basis. Such is the case with the CBS TV summer staple ‘Big Brother’, now in it’s 20th season. It’s a dependable audience aggregator that can be counted on to bring in 5+ million viewers several times a week. In the TV landscape as it is in 2018 that’s huge.

The format and rules of ‘Big Brother’ are typical of the genre. A group of contestants live together in a house isolated from the outside world. Contestants get kicked out for violating a list of rules, they can leave at any time of their own volition (and one has already done so this season) but the general idea is that they keep getting voted off the island…er…out of the house until one remains and claims a prize of a cool $500 grand. There’s also an audience voting component and a few hidden idol-esque power ups to keep it interesting.
