Mostly because I'm REALLY going to struggle to cut alot of scenes out. There's too much vital stuff that its going to be really hard to navigate and stay at 30 minutes, but we shall see.

Excited to show it off!!!

We are on pace to finish filming in time, and then all my focus is on editing. I had hoped to get the trailer done last week to release it today but then I dealt with serious sickness all of last week, and am still recovering a bit.

Still looking at 14 episodes total, but episodes might be longer.

Just filmed episodes 6-8. And just finished the perjury phase of the game, and my god what a trio of episodes. The role players are doing a super fun mix of role playing and at the same time genuinely playing hard. Theres two weeks left of filming and I cant wait to see how it ends. #bb27

#bb27 is coming to an end. It was complicated. i enjoyed watching it, but not discussing it. Still, I'm sad its over. Fortunately if you are about to have a whole for BB, ill be filling it this holiday season by releasing a BB parody called House of Eyes. A unique 14-episode tabletop rpg webseries.

I'm ready to fall in love with a new group of players all over but theres not a new cast. It makes me appreciate BBCan because we truly were so privileged to have two seasons a year. #bb27

Nathan Payson @paysonnathan.bsky.social · 10d

With #bb27 complete, I feel my love of the show and these kinds of games renewed. It's amazing how deep the storytelling potential of these games is and at how it always manages to surprise me and showcase new moments each season. Yet somehow it still feels like there's deep untapped potential.

Also during night 1 of feeds, I had Ashley as my number 1 player from just the 3 hours I had. I wavered sometimes on the #1 spot, but I never wavered on viewing her as one of the best players in that house. She felt like a "Winner-potential" candidate the moment I saw her on feeds.
So surreal. #bb27

Nathan Payson @paysonnathan.bsky.social · 12d

I had a conversation with Hannah Chaddah the night before the BB27 premiere and she told me "I'm worried that the experience won't turn out as she hopes." I remember telling her "She'll be fine. She seems really capable and well prepped." And here she is, having just won the season. #bb27

The masterminds being the next major player royally screwed over by a twist in a season where they were the mastermind was wild. #bb27

Vince gave a solid speech. Just...Ashley's game is so much clearer and she's explained it very very well. #bb27

Nathan Payson @paysonnathan.bsky.social · 12d

It seems like a clear Ashley win? #bb27

Nathan Payson @paysonnathan.bsky.social · 12d

So Ashley just won with that laugh from Kelley. Kelley is clearly over Vince. #bb27

Nathan Payson @paysonnathan.bsky.social · 12d

Differentiate yourself from Morgan:

Vince: "ummmmmm.....maybe this?" #bb27

Nathan Payson @paysonnathan.bsky.social · 12d

And Ashley continues her messaging throughline #bb27

#bb27 was destined for a BRUTAL and emotional cut at final 2 either way, and that's one of the coolest parts of the season. Morgan is taking this so well too. She deserves a lot of respect and celebration as a top 50 player in BB history. So thankful for that.

What a truly incredible moment. It's unfortunate the story of the season will be either "Why Vince won" or "Why Vince lost" and not "Why Ashley won", but she's played an incredible game here.

And props to Morgan for carrying the jury phase on her back. #bb27

Things you must know:

- Comp Outcomes
- Number of Comps played in and which comps that was.
- Comp Names
- All days
- Elimination comp orders
- Julie's weekly outfits
- Vote counts
- stuff like that.

Nathan Payson @paysonnathan.bsky.social · 12d

WOW. This was the most dominant part 3 I've seen in a while. WILD.

But also for future houseguests (hopefully myself included), make sure you know these kinds of questions, because they are VERY hard and the kind of thing that's harder to remember the further away from those events you are.

Ashley might be winning this. WOW #bb27
