No. I have to agree I just haven't been feeling this season. It's more to do with how uniformly unlikable to meh these people are. Craziness is good.
But give us someone we can root for or against, people we have strong feelings about either way. If we don't care who stays or goes, does it matter what
the strategy is or lack thereof?

What's killed the show is how they've gone away from casting regular folks. To now casting some dipshit w/ an agent w/ aspirations of becoming an
actor or famous.

This season actually has more "real" people and less mactors than usual. They're young and trashy, but they all have emotional baggage and
blatant insecurities that make them human. It's refreshing really. I feel like I could know all of them in my real life, whereas I've never known
anyone like cartoonish and fake Janelle, Howie, Jen, Dick, etc (thank God). I also like that no one this season is all that boring or UTR and none of them are
hypocritical moralizing cunts who sit in their rooms talking about what good people they are, so we don't have to worry about those types sliding to the
finale like we usually do.
The couples twist did create a lot of tension right away so that may be "forced," but anyone who thinks people don't behave this way in the real world is completely naive. It's something different at least. I don't know why everyone wants the same thing year after year. |

Most of the guys I hang out with are like Howie. One even looks like him.

The people this year are WAY more likeable than last year IMO. Last year I hated all those fuckers with a passion and this year even the people I don't
like still can be fun to watch.

Watching this is like watching Jerry Springer every other word is bleeped out on tv. I bet you they find it hard to find enough footage to edit for TV. |

The seasons that I've enjoyed the most have always had strong villains, underdogs, hard core gamers who are fans of the show and get how it should be played. And interesting people from all walks of life. I don't hate it, but I'm not feeling it either. |

I'm glad you started this thread, Charming Nemesis. This season of BB is not grabbing me in the way the others have. I'm another one who doesn't
like the forced hookups, and have barely bothered to watch the live feeds (pissed away THAT $39.99, plus several hours trying to download an actual working
older version of Real Player) or participate in the threads here. I am watching each televised episode and seem to be satisfied with what they're showing
me as opposed to wanting to see the unedited live goings-on.
Also, these people are rather unremarkable in both their appearance and gameplay. Meh. I've given this season the nickname "BB Lite". Hopefully we'll get back to a REAL Big Brother season this summer? |

The seasons I like aren't filled with people who were rounded up at the bus station. We have drug dealers, hookers, and people who seem normal until they
suddenly defecate in public. Sound like these people? Let's get some standards, even though BB contestants have always met minimal standards.

Someone in porn is not a hooker. A hooker has sex in exchange for money, and someone in porn does it on camera for money and all parties get paid. |

Where there was once GOD..... Give me the damn orgies!!!
Where there was once Amber being a "good person"... we have Natalie who is good AT it (stripping, dick sucking, ect...) Where Jameka once got on her knees and prayed..... We now have James jumping up and making his Dick bounce up and down and catching it between his legs. Where there was once Dick and his spitting and booger picking.... We now have Sheila and her yeast infection and her spotty periods. There is no Whining Princess Danielle... Instead we have Amanduh Good God please tell me you people don't prefer Zack being showed the light by Jameka to Natalie squirting milk from her boobs!!!!! and Beer Pong and Zumma Zumma does not happen EVERY single night!!! Nooooooooooo they hump each other and find wonderful excuses to get nekked. Have they gone to far who the fuck cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the ones that have to deal with that when they leave the show!! Natalie could start giving "train rides" and it would be better than the Jesus fucker bible bashing tweeker skank Amber and her bitch Jameka were. Sooooooo Dead no I don't think so. Another God fest and it could have been dead. This is just restoring the balance of the BB universe. Last season they gave us God and some Dick this season they give us Natalie. |

I'm sure he's done more than just porn. He has the skeeviest past I've ever seen on Big Brother, even accounting for meth heads Dick and Amber.
eta: Natalie's ugly, though. I DON'T want to see any more of her. |

holyphuck, I have to disagree with your assumptions again. First, I don't think you can just say "I'm sure he's done more than just
porn," when you really have no proof, and this guys antics are all over the Internet so proof for saying something like "I bet this guy has taken a
shit on a beach" isn't hard to find.
I think the "crazy" stuff he does is for video, and to be put out their for people to see, like Jackass. But if he's had sex for money in private, unless you personally have paid James for sex, I just don't think it's fair to assume that. He's got enough shit to bust on him for. And I don't ever remember hearing that Dick was a meth addict. |
