Tobor thinks that not only is it our right, but our obligation to voice observations about the TV show after it steals three hours a week from us.

To help give a little structure... how about 2 observations each...

The thing you LIKED MOST about the show

and

The thing you DIDN'T LIKE MOST about the show.


Tobor thanks you in advance.

I liked watching Kathy whine in the molasses.

I didn't like the dumb male alliance nicknames. Well, it did make me laugh, though.

The worst sequence was the food comp. It got boring.

The best sequence was the reveal of the HAVE NOT room. I would have liked more of that. LOL

IMO, The Food Comps are always boring. Most of the times the POV Comps are too when they last too long.

I couldn't past wondering if those were their own shoes being ruined in the caramel.

Enzo and his nicknames--too much. Couldnt help but wonder if he was trying to steal from the Sopranos with his "Meow-Meow" nick.
I noticed that when they were allowed back in the house after comp, they were clean of the caramel and out of their sticky clothes--are there portable showers brought in to clean them all at once? There are 2 showers in the house, and I was wondering how they were going to cleaned up!
The Have-not room was kind of interesting, but it sounded like were coached on their reaction to it. All that talk about smell--those worms were in sealed jars by the look of it, so no smell there. Those awful lawn chairs ought to be hades to sleep on.

Best Part - None

Really dissapointed with this season so far. I know only 2 episodes in...but I'm having a tough time liking or disliking anyone! I can't remember if I felt this way the prior seasons, but we need some backstabbing and knock down drag outs pretty soon.

I watch NASCAR for the wrecks...come on!

The feeds are a snoozefest so the show is going to be tough to edit.

Meow Meow comes from a story Enzo told a while back about cruising the streets with a friend when he was younger, looking to pick up girls. They found a couple of girls and drove around a while with them, and one of them kept saying "meow meow" for some reason. He and his friends now use it as a catch phrase.

I didn't like watching Kathy stuck in the carmel in fact I found the whole comp to be kind of drawn out and boring.

I did like the reveal of the have-nots room-I only wish we had "smelevision" so we could smell for ourselves how bad it really is.

LOL Kappy...I thought that too about if that was their own shoes. I thought the part about the butt showing was hilarious. One of the funniest parts in Survivor was when Sugar got her top undone...she kept on playing and then gave the other team the bird!

I have to add a WORST EDITING category to this thread.

So to summarize we have:

The thing you LIKED MOST about the show

and

The thing you DIDN'T LIKE MOST about the show

and

The WORST EDITED SCENE.

BEST SCENE: The make-out scene in the hammock.

WORST SCENE: Annie reading the rules for the VETO comp. I wonder if they coached her on that "read?" It was just terrible acting. I do not think a regular person could be that bad without VERY bad directing. I can just see them in the DIARY ROOM making her say it over and over again and telling her, "MORE ENERGY! THIS IS TV."

WORST EDITING: The exterior couch scene with Enzo, Annie, Hayden and Lane. (When Enzo said, "DIPPED" and the reactions.) The editor couldn't tell that simple story if his life depended on it.

Has anyone else noticed the lack of Kristen and Kathy on the Broadcast show? Seems like they are rarely on camera.

maybe it's just me.

For the 1st show:
Same as Lyn,lol:
Liked the most - Enzo's nickname
Didn't like the most - Enzo's nickname
Re: editing...I don't remember any of the food comp at all. I didn't miss any of the show. So, I conclude that the BB producers/editors didn't do a very good job if it wasn't at all memorable for me.

2nd show:
liked most: the hammock make out scene and the hgs inside speculating. Cute and funny scene.

liked least: that BB used rotten mayo. disgusting. I hope to never think about it again. Visually gross. Gross in my mind. Just totally gross.

worst editing: hmmm...can't think of anything. Nothing really stands out. I'll keep this in mind while watching the future shows though. I think all the saboteur announcements don't have the best editing. It isn't exciting enough for me as a viewer. I like the concept too. I want to see major havoc, major strategies being messed with. I don't want to see minor pranks. I want BB to edit all this in an exciting way for me. I don't have the feeds or showtime, so, I am relying on BB to give me a great show this summer. So far, it's kind of meh. Maybe it's the editing, maybe it's the hgs, maybe some of both.

Kristen has barely made an appearance on the show.

I was thinking the same thing about Kristen. Have we even seen her in the diary room yet?

the taped shows are boring, they can't be getting good ratings. I've said, since BB1, that the non-evictions shows should be done in a "sportcenter" format with co-hosts updating happenings in the house and showing clips. a BB guest interview could spice up a boring show, etc. they are really missing the boat by being too cheap to hire co-anchors.

Get rid of Chen and hire Dr. Will. And get a few shrinks in there to talk about the WHY of the hampster activity.

liked: seeing Rachel/Annie on the block
disliked: seeing Brendon fall for Rachel
worst editing: mine comes from a future episode... they will undoubtedly do a montage featuring Rachel's laugh---I will be muting the whole thing!

I like Julie. I've liked her more and more as the years go by.

liked: Annie's pre eviction trying to save herself speech.

disliked: That the house kept Rachel and not even one hg voted to evict Rachel

worst editing: Not showing enough of how bad Annie really was.

re my previous post...I do totally remember the food comp with the sticky goo. I just didn't remember that the sticky goo comp was for food/have-have not.

like: still like Julie as host
Annie's pre-eviction speech
Annie's post-eviction talk w/Julie

dislike: Brendon......everything about this guy bugs the crap out of me except the way he looks. He will drag Rachel right out the door with him because he's not liked IMO.

worst editing: I agree with "not showing enough of how bad Annie really was". I bet they would have shown us more if there was any chance she might have stayed.

oh this is simple...

liked: Rachel winning HOH (I was so hoping)against the very two who she'll put on the block..

disliked: the choice of the sab... Annie being the worst person to carry on that task..

worst editing: the lack of Diary Room confessions, I notice less and less spontaneous remarks in the DR, it's all pre-set and guided by BB. Maybe it's too soon and it's bound to get more emotional as the game goes on, but these people seem like lambs compared to some past players...

disliked: the hoh comp. It was boring.

i did not notice any editing.
