With the pending return of "Big Brother" to the small screen (June 25 at 8 p.m. ET on Global in Canada, CBS in the U.S.), we're gearing up for drama and tears (of course).
What we're not ready for are the godforsaken cliches -- especially those phrases that we hear over and over and over again, no matter what reality show you're watching. "Survivor," "Big Brother," "The Amazing Race," "The Celebrity Apprentice," "Hell's Kitchen," hell, even shows like "America's Next Top Model" and "RuPaul's Drag Race" have featured the insufferable reality show repetition.
Take heed, "reality" show writers -- time to spice things up! We never want to hear these overused reality show phrases again:
Usually that's not what happens at all. But OK, sometimes it is.
Shut up.
WE KNOW.
... And then it does happen.
Sometimes things get way harsh.
But it usually is.
Actually, it always is.
And then there's NeNe.
Until it's you getting nailed in the face with something.
Uh huh. Sure.
No, they were eliminated. Plain and simple. Not every vote-out is a backdoor.
Except when they all hate you ... wait, maybe they are like your family!
There's always one looking out for themselves.
Better make sure you're in sync before you commit.
It always hurts so much more when you're that close to winning.
Seriously, though, you're not. And then:
When you make the dumbest move ever, that doesn't count.
In some cases, this is true.
Rid our vernacular of this term!
Sometimes a necessary lie.
You know what we mean. Each stare is worth at least 1000 words.
