Pretty much every non-deserving person imo, won BB with the exception of Eddie and Dr. Will. I have not been happy with the winner since S2! To me, it's not about the winner, it's about who stays the longest with the odds against them. I just love an underdog!

If Maggie had ever owned up to actually trying to get everyone to drink the koolaid, I would be applauding her game play. Because she always denied that that's what she was doing, I take it that it wasn't her intention, so she was not playing a good game but instead just got lucky. And yeah, Danielle totally deserved to win season 3!

I cant remember exactly what WillMega did in season 1 but I remember watching and being shocked. Like I said, I was a casual watcher then so I also dont get the Videotron love either

If by unexpected they mean a show without horrible housemates like Evel Dick and Sheila, than I am gung ho for it. Given how much Allison seems to love this publicity hounds though, I think there is little chance we don't have more sorry casting featuring the same kind of people that have made the show suck the last few seasons. So if we are going to have a more diversified cast, how about people 40, 50, 60 and not just a token 40+ year old every season <48>

And I would actually like for a return to voting by the public for one season. It still manages to work okay in other versions of the show. With it you would be able to have the show not be 100% about gameplaying and people in the house could not just be total arses to each other. Because people who do that are always going to get kicked out, because people don't like watching it. I would like the show be more about social interactions and personalities and not all scheming. That is all the show is now for 10 weeks is non-stop whispering and scheming. It doesn't matter what any of these people did before in the house or what kind of personality they have because none of it is relevant nor is it shown on tv unless you are a super freak. I learn more about a contestant in one week of BB UK then a whole season of BB US.

somebody at jokers who was a top 35 finalist posted this .... --------------------------------- Dear (name removed), CONGRATULATIONS! You have been selected to be a Finalist for Big Brother 10. We are looking forward to having you with us for this last round of casting in Los Angeles. Below are some important guidelines and helpful hints for you to keep in mind while you are staying with us. When your airplane lands in Los Angeles, and you have collected your luggage, you should follow the signs to the Hotel Shuttles. You should board the Shuttle Bus for the Sheraton Gateway – LAX 6101 W. Century Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90045 ( please note there are 2 Sheraton’s at LAX...do not board the wrong shuttle ) DO NOT SPEAK TO ANYONE! If you have any problems please call Once you arrive at the hotel you will check in at the front desk. Please remember that no one working at the hotel knows why you are here. This should remain that way. Once you have checked in, the front desk clerk will provide you with your room number as well as a room number for the Production office. As soon as you get settled in your room you should immediately call the production office so that we can invite you down to walk thru your schedule for the coming days PLEASE NOTE: YOU SHOULD NEVER ARRIVE AT THE OFFICE UNANNOUNCED! During your stay, all incidental expenses are your responsibility. These expenses include outside phone calls, mini bar expenses etc. If you drink or eat anything found in the mini-bar, you must pay for it. Please bring a credit card with you to cover your incidentals. In the event that you do not provide a credit card, the hotel will accept a $100 per day cash deposit. If you do not provide a credit card or cash deposit, you will not have the ability to make phone calls outside the hotel. You might also want to bring a pre-paid calling card to avoid high long distance rates. You will be given a schedule for meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in the hotel restaurant. If you choose, you can order room service rather than eat in the restaurant. If you miss your scheduled mealtime for any reason (including interviews or medical examinations), you will not be able to make that time up and will need to order room service. If you choose to eat in your room and not take advantage of this or any break, you must call the production office and let us know that you will, be staying in. IMPORTANT: On travel days you will not be permitted to attend these events. You will be required to stay in your room for this entire day unless we request your presence at a meeting. We will provide you with per diem for your meals. This per diem can be used in the hotel restaurant or for room service. Please do not lose this money. We will not be responsible for lost per-diem and CAN NOT replace per-diem for any reason The hotel has a gym and a pool. As with meals, you will be given a scheduled workout time and pool time and may use these facilities ONLY at your designated time. We will not, under any circumstances, take special requests for pool and gym scheduling. If you miss your scheduled pool and/or gym time for any reason including interviews or medical examinations), unfortunately, you will not be able to make that time up. No exceptions! When attending these meal breaks / pool / gym appointments it is important to remember that Big Brother is a game and protecting your game is very important starting now. With that said, we ask that you keep your presence to a minimum. Anyone seeing you could learn aout you just by the way you dress, act or speak...especially if you are a loud talker....remember...protecting your game starts now! As we’ve discussed, secrecy is of the utmost importance at this point in the process. Please be aware of the following rules: DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE except our staff. WE MEAN THIS!!! Your involvement from here on out is to remain strictly confidential. This means, for instance, if a housekeeper strikes up a conversation, play dumb. Lie if you must, but do not under any circumstances give out any information as to who you are and why you are here. This rule applies at airport security as well, so prepare your story before arriving at the airport. There should be no visible traces of why you are here in the hotel room. Please do not leave any paperwork out! As you will be spending a lot of time in your room, please welcome the housekeeper in to clean your room while you are in it...Do not speak with her or for any reason leave your room while she is cleaning it YOU WILL NOT BE LEAVING THE HOTEL AND YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY VISITORS! If you have friends or relatives in Los Angeles, unfortunately, you will not be able to see them. Nobody should even know where you are. You MAY NOT reveal the hotel address to ANYONE, including your loved ones. Consider yourself sequestered, much as if you were a juror in a court case. If you make outside calls, give no information out as to your whereabouts or the hotel name. You will not be able to receive incoming phone calls. If someone calls the hotel and asks for your room, they will be routed to our production office. If an unauthorized phone call comes in to the hotel for you, you will be disqualified from the Finals process. You may NOT bring a still photography camera, a video camera, camera phone or any kind of recording device with you. It is important that you understand that you will be spending a great deal of time in your room and must be able to entertain yourself. We will not be available to keep you entertained. For this reason, we suggest you bring with you as many items as possible to keep yourself busy. IE; laptops, magazines, video games, books, I-PODS etc. These rules are for your protection as you participate in the Final Round. If, for some reason, you are unable to adhere to these rules, you will be disqualified from the remainder of the process and sent home immediately. Don’t worry: we will take good care of you! We realize that you are likely to become a little stir crazy, but just remember…if you’re lucky, it will get worse from here! For all other inquiries, please call your Casting Producer. Thanks for your cooperation. We will follow up this email with an itinerary as soon as possible. Please respond to let me know that you have received this email!!! Best, Sydney Leier Casting Producer Big Brother

Wow, interesting! I knew they were strict but scheduled meal and pool times, no outside calls, no talking to anyone?! I guess you'd get a good idea of what it would be like in the house.

When you think about it... here we are, as are all message boards and BB sites pre-show, dying to get spoilers and leakage. If they have a group of finalists with half of them (or whatever) winding up entering the BB house - this is what sequester would *have* to be like. This routine sort of explains the situations in the past where rumored cast members were sent packing just before entering the BB house, for taking a cell call or something similar. But - they encourage them to bring a laptop for entertainment? What's to stop any of them from leaking info that way? Fear of disqualification? ETA: she scheduled meal and gym time is one way to keep the HG finalists from "meeting" each other. But we know they all "see" each other....

Yeah Bonz... that struck me as odd that you can't have any cell phones with you and no calls can come in through the front desk for you, but you can bring a laptop??? Hellooooo... Instant Messenger!!!

Maybe they do not have wifi or internet connections in the rooms. It may be disabled or the hotel may only have hot spots. Laptops could be for games or movies. But why do they get to bring in cel phones if they cannot rec calls? I don't know how they could stop the calls.

I have been getting SuperPass billed quarterly, so I never cancelled from the winter season. But if you purchase your SuperPass through bbreloader, you will get the reloader free. I tried that last year and wasn't to impressed with it, but it was better than viewing from Real Player. I prefer RealTV myself. Through Reloader it is $12.99 a month. But I usually get it a week before it starts. I use to forget to get it and end up scrambling the second after the first episode to order it.

This is for us few and far between people who are still on 56k dial up. The people at BBRealoader told me there won't be anymore 56k feeds anymore. I was hoping that last winter they didn't include them since the season may have been rushed. But that's not the case. Real is leaving us behind Guess i'll just watch BB After Dark and rely on Youtube for the rest. Real Networks has sadly decided to scratch these for good. There will be the high and low quality streams this season but no 56K.

Superpass - 14 days free; $12.99 per month after that. I believe the coupon is bb10early and you have to sign up by July 13th. I also think that this "deal" might be good for returning customers, too. Bbine - thanks for posting that from Joker's. I was thinking about posting it but you beat me to it!

Maybe the very strict rules are because "the game starts before the houseguest ever enter the house this year".

Here is an article and vidio with the media staying in the house for the whole day ..... and SLOP is back! http://forums.jokersupdates.com/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Board=bbnewsandrumors&Number=9279948 Kyle was the first to dive into the cauldron of warm goo that Big Brother kindly left on the table for us. "It tastes like warm oatmeal mixed with clay," he muttered, clearly wishing he had a spittoon in hand. I was next. Kyle's description could not have been more accurate. But the worst thing about slop is that it gets more disgusting with every bite. You almost think you can stomach it at first, but the fact that it tastes like wet concrete mixed with Play-Doh makes it impossible to bear. The color is equally unappetizing: it looks like a cross between the greenish slime from Nickelodeon's You Can't Do That On Television and guacamole. In my desperation, I tried to make cookies for the four of us, but the slop just wouldn't bake. It also hardened after being left on the counter for hours. All of this made me wish I would have eaten more Krispy Kreme donuts when they were provided for us hours before. Kyle conceded to eat brown sugar, soy sauce and ketchup for lunch. Kevin just didn't eat
