Can you spot them? Do you even care?

The biggest flaw is that Jessie is there.

Right now the only flaw is Jessie. Until he leaves, I'm not watching, so I can't spot any others.

I think this could be an interesting thread. I suspect that Dutchey is thinking of events shown out of sequence and discontinuity. Or a vast number of other flaws.

Jessie definitely ruined it for me... I didn't care for him before and giving him the HOH power on a silver platter just bugged me a lot.

Russell is the new bully.. I guess, it will be a pleasure to see him on the nomination block and see if his mood gets worse...

I'm with you there... I did not like Jessie on his season and it appears that he has gotten to be even worse! I can't enjoy the show with him on so I am waiting until he is evicted. I think this was a really bad move on the part of Allison G. because I don't think many liked Jessie his season. What were they thinking???

Yes, the show is flawed.

It's why I don't even watch it, except for eviction night, no choice there since they block the feeds.

The TV show is terrible, really. If it wasn't for the live feeds, and TVCH, I wouldn't even be a fan!

I think the flaw is the whole concept of putting them in cliques. So if Braden goes this week and maybe Laura next week that leaves Jordan in a clique by herself. SHE would be a HAVE NOT for the remainder of her time there because there is no way that she can compete with groups of 3 and 4 people. NOT fair.

Way to much repeated stuff. How many times do we need to see the same thing. Plus they don't show the HG's accurately as we see them on the feeds.

Is there any show that doesn't have some flaws? Some are gaping holes we can drive a convoy through. Some are more like tweaks that could make even the best show better.

In BB's case I think the biggest flaw has been the switch in production. BB existed around the world, very successfully. In their first year in the US it became clear the show desperately needed some changes to fit the American market.

But rather than work with what they had, they brought in Arnold Shapiro and a full new team (including current head honcho AG) that threw out the good and the bad and completely reworked the show.

A great many of us felt that while some of the changes were actually good, they could have been done without destroying all that was good not only from the first BB, but from many successful years of BB worldwide.

Here is what frustrates me. The new team has made it clear they don't care what we, the viewing and in this show paying audience wants. Silly me, I've never liked that. That add more twists and influence then I think are needed. Even this year when the clique thing was rather interesting, based on the fact they couldn't nominate w/in their clique, they couldn't leave well enough along. They had to bring back past HG that no one liked (with the exception of Brian who had potential). The other 3 would have annoyed all of us, I feel safe to say, and the comp was geared to favor the most annoying by far Jesse. WHY???

For some reason BB and TIIC seem to confuse annoyance with interest, and butting in w/production.

All the above means NOTHING but a nice vent for a fan. Bottom line is neither the network or production care. They will do what they want, they have made that crystal clear, and to me, as a show with the largest FREE focus group in the world, they have all the tools to tweak it according and do so much better. But it's just not going to happen, not while AG or any AS flunkie is at the helm.

I think a flaw is they do not have enough activities/challenges to keep the HG busy. If they would only bring back the weeklong challenges. It would force them to work together and give us something to watch. I loved when they had to ride the bike all day/night. Or get out of bed at all hours to go outside and dance for a few minutes. Instead we get bored HG that sleep for hours and complain about boredom. That is not fun for the viewers either.

I agree with Jimmer on the repeated stuff....the announcer says what happened previously while clips are playing then it gets repeated once again in B&W, etc. I like the shows for the diary rooms but most of them are the HG explaining the obvious things like: The only way I am safe is if I win POV.
yeah, no kidding!!!!!

Dutchey...I wonder if you could elaborate on what flaws you meant when you started this thread?

I mean, do you mean the standard yearly "flaws" of not showing everything, the editing?
Or do you mean the way they sometimes appear to be guiding the comps and stuff in favor of one HG or another?
Or do you mean the general type-casting?

Or what?

lol

The whole clique thing is irrelavent as the HG's make their own friends anyway and everyone knows they will do away with the clique/team thing sometime during the season and everyone will play for them selves. They have to, only one person can win.

In my mind it was a waste of time and just something to make everyone worry in the beginning.

I agree they need to have more challenges and comps for small rewards. Like Lakegal, I appreciated the 24hr challenges.

Dutchey I too would like to know what flaws you had in mind because I am in the middle of moving into my daughter's house and I am pretty close to being brain dead -

The main flaw in my opinion is the fact that it is completely geared towards the 3 prime time shows and utterly ignores the feed viewers. This is why they have the short survivor-ish (or worse) competitions and no long tasks like they have in all other BBs worldwide. Having no other tasks leaves far too much downtime for the houseguests with nothing to do but over-think everything.

The emphasis on the prime time shows and the SAME stupid competitions at the same time each episode, repeated every week for the entire run just makes the show tedious.
