I doubt last night's pool party will. Anyhow, I love the game aspect of the show, which is absent at this point. I don't mind a little drunken messing around, but this is way over the top. These people are trashing their reps, and will never be held in any esteem as BB players. LOL...wonder what Kail is thinking:) i just don't know how you can say that. are you watching the feeds? there's TONS of game going on in there. No, I'm really busy this year...am running through BBAD, which has no game and all fighting/sex. The show is making a case for the game very much. IMO. Then again...I think the couple thing throws out a ton of maneuvering. People who would like to move to other alliances can't. If they split them at 10, it could make a better case for the game.

Watching a bunch of horny, unlikable trainwrecks try to out-sensationalize each other isn't entertaining; it's just desperate. X I'd put it above BB4 also, but yea, it's painful to watch

The best thing about Big Brother was the interaction between people who would normally not hang around together. Like season 2 or 3. The live feeds were great. But now it's become very forced and nothing but a really horrid soap/porno. Right from the get go, Grodner forced everything to make this the "naughty" Big Brother. Forced to share beds. Hang together like your having sex. How "naughty". It's become a bad substandard Playboy channel show. You just know they cast only the people that said they'd get naked and hump on national TV. So forced. It was more shocking and interesting when it happened naturally. Big Brother is scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Lowest of the low. Can't wait for BBUK. OMG you hit the nail on the head. I feel the same way. If BB10 is like this this summer they can count me out for another season. I wonder if their ratings or up or down and whether they have as many people purchasing live feed this season.

Posts: 769 (02/25/08 9:53 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	i agree; feeds are not very fun to watch for me; i much prefer the strategy-laden talks - from at least SOME people who have a fucking clue how the game works. didn't jen say she was the big fan coming into the show, and then she blows it (oh wait that was natalie; sorry) - on like day 1 or 2? pathetic. and the rest just didn't get it at all - at least some of them are starting to figure out the basics now, so i'm trying to be optimistic - but ya, hope a pairs breakup is coming soon; i think that will help. although, ya, this cast is full of complete ditzes, so i don't know. i prefer having more than one "old" person in there too; ack, it's really hard to listen to their chatter and watch their hormones going crazy.

I don't watch BB for the sexual tension. I'm not a prude, but it's just rather desperate and boring to me. I watch BB for the interaction and arguments, etc. I fear we are in the minority, though. Well, I'm far from a prude, but I totally agree. It's so juvenile I can't get with it. It's just a big frat house and college for me was over 20 years ago. I'm so over it.

I don't really follow the live feeds so maybe getting occasional second-hand reports and YouTube videos of select moments isn't giving the season a fair chance, but there just isn't any redeeming value to this season whatsoever to me. x I had no desire to even purchase the feeds and I'm one to purchase every season, except Season 1.

Let me guess, you're the same type of poster that complained like crazy that people like Carol, Mike and Jameka were too boring last year, right? Perhaps some of you are just too old for the show now. There seems to be a fair amount of 40/50 year olds at this forum, are you some of them too? The trainwreck factor has always been a significant part of this show. It's not like this is the Apprentice, which started out as a legitimate show with highly qualified people that quickly collapsed into absolute garbage. Or perhaps from the other side, perhaps after so many years of BB, it just doesn't interest you anymore. Its still very fresh to me, here in my third season

Same problem as BB4/Survivor: Amazon (besides Matt)/TAR6 (after Gus/Hera get out). On paper I'm all about entertainment first and foremost but I have to admit I need to be invested by having someone to root for. Like I said regarding Micronesia...I'm glad people are enjoying it but it's just missing something for me. That's how I feel. Even if I did like one person, they'd be paired up with someone I didn't like. Howeve, regarding Survivor, I felt that way about last season, but I'm liking this season because there are people on there I'm rooting for. There's no one on BB9 I'm rooting for. I guess it's to each his own, especially with regard to BB9.

For the first time in several seasons, we are not seeing the house go into inflexible armed camps of 2 sides and just knocking each other out. Instead, we are seeing GAMERS on this show and they are changing sides all over the place once an HOH competition is held, once again at nominations, once again at POV and once again before the vote. They are keeping us on our toes. On top of that, for the first 2 weeks, we have some really good con people here in the house and they have kept US guessing at their true intentions. The reason we are seeing this gamer season is due to the couples factor. Without this, we would have the typical BB season with a majority of floaters, a few assholes that are targets and just a couple of gamers ballsey enough to make moves. Have you noticed that each couple has a gamer? And each couple has a social animal. I am convinced that BB mixed up these couples to create the dynamics in the house that they currently have. Because of the couples factor, you have a lot of overlays of loyalty, which allows for the fluid alliances. I can see what you're saying. But, I think the problem is that the decadance and debauchery has overshadowed all that you've said. I think that the reason people enjoyed S6, S7 and S8 was because the gaming was clear cut. I do however disagree with you on your assertion that there are no inflexible armed camps of 2 sides. I disagree that they are changing sides all over the place once an HOH competition is held, once again at nominations, once again at POV and once again before the vote. I was hoping that Sheila and Adam would spice things up making the last eviction a 2-2 tie, but that didn't happen and most people expected the result. It was obvious who was going on the block after J&C won HOH.

This show is supposed to be about strategy? Since when? The show has always been about the idiots who debase themselves by agreeing to appear on it. The only difference is that this season the show is not pretending to be something it is not and never was.

I agree. It's hard on the players and the fans watching. And pardon me, is there a fucking law that you have to love every damn season? Many people often don't like every season of a reality show, some stand out more than others, some appeal more to some than others and vice versa. If we want to talk about how much we dislike it, how does it hurt anyone? People take shit so personal. Just pass up the thread and FOAD if you don't like it!
