It\u2019s hugely popular with bored housewives looking for cheap drama, but it\u2019s also secretly big with strategy-minded mega-nerds like James Gunn, who tend to keep quiet about it so no one makes fun of them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/james-gunn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:James Gunn;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">James Gunn<\/a> with his favorite <em>Big Brother<\/em> player, Derrick Levasseur<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In addition to saving the entire <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/dc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:DC;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">DC<\/a> superhero universe, Gunn is now also blazing a trail by making it safe for nerds to admit their <em>Big Brother<\/em> fandom. He appeared on the show this week, revealing he\u2019s been watching the series since season one, way back in 2000. He looked like a kid on Christmas. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen James Gunn look happier than he was sitting on set across from Julie Chen, or next to Derrick, his all-time favorite Big Brother player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gunn was rewarded for his appearance by living out the ultimate <em>Big Brother<\/em> fan fantasy: He got roasted by Zingbot. The iconic mocking robot appeared with him in his second Big Brother guest spot of the week, on the recap series <em>Big Brother Unlocked<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>James Gunn Ripped To Shreds By Zingbot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For anyone who isn\u2019t a <em>Big Brother<\/em> fan, this whole thing probably looks terrible and cringe. That\u2019s why nerds tend to keep quiet about it. But for socially awkward, introverted weirdos trying to understand how to engage with people, there is no better instructional manual than a show that lets you watch 16 people living their daily lives, twenty-four hours a day.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Zing Bot receives attention from &lt;em&gt;Big Brother&lt;\/em&gt; alum Britney Haynes\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/eeaDq6xqw0eEX89UShtCyQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/661623a1ca729ed8319bbabdafc17010\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Zing Bot receives attention from <em>Big Brother<\/em> alum Britney Haynes<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Welcome him with open arms, fellow introverted, awkward, <em>Big Brother<\/em> nerds.
