It was Adam who was the winner. There was crazy James with the odd colored hair, Chelsia, and Shiela.

This show's a snoozer with no ED. Veganking had it spot on for me. Same usual stuff. What makes it worse is Julie Chen getting older looking and looks like she's getting botox. If that stuff isn't the worst invention that women buy into...

Not near a favorite season for me. It would be a complete flop if Jordan wasn't there. I'd say borderline flop, but not an all out hands down flop like the first season of pairs...which was the only season I turned off early on.

sanfranjoshfan (boy that is a lonf username to type- can i call you sanfran?lol)
that was season 9. i only watched approx. 2-3 weeks as the hgs turned me off. the winner did become arrested and i was given a link through a tweet to his jailhouse blog. i started to read it and was bored/ disgusted -just like his season.

so far i am liking this season except for b/r- they are the reason i don't pay for live feed-yet.

I am really loving this season I like the mixture of old and new.

I am a big fan and I have liked all seasons, some I love to hate!

Me_poster... Adam won that season... I believe the jailhouse blog was from Matty. I know it is hard to keep straight as they both were arrested for narcotics trafficking... Or did Adam do a blog as well?

And while I don't condone what he did, I thought Matty's blog was well written and he seemed to take responsibility for his actions. I liked the blog.

sheila baited adam into the 'retard' comment. She asked what he did. When he answered she looked confused adn said WHAT?? so he rephrased and she still looked frazzled and confused WHAT???? so finally he blurted out RETARDS! i work with kids who are retards.

I felt bad for him because it was almost a setup. Sheila playing stupid and saying she couldnt understand his job, then hamming it up in Diary room.

i LIKED that season only because of the INstant tension caused by the pairs AND being forced to be in bed with each other. Wish it was that was this time, It would have changed up the Teams IMHO

IMO, I would've preferred this season of BB is if it was a house set of 14 strangers. That way we wouldn't have to worry about some of the "newbies" being star struck over the "vets" and following them. Everybody would be on equal playing field. It would even be better if they came in playing as individuals, instead of being paired up. I just prefer regular seasons of BB when no previous players are thrown back into the game. They could've saved bringing B/R, J/J, and D/D for next year, season 14....a second rendition of All-Stars. That way the house would be full of returning players.

Matt McDonald Blog from prison. This is his 1st post in May. You can look to the right of the blog and see that he has a post in June and July.

Does anyone think the diary rooms are more scripted than normal this year?? Lawon's are the worst. Its like cheesy writers try to think of funny sound bites for him to say. He is not funny.

Rachel even had some that sounded very scripted last ep.

My fav DR are from Jordan. She comes off so honest and gullable. Hers may be scripted too, if so, she is the best actress there

I actually think that Dick leaving kept the season from being as big a flop as it could be even though I wish he had stayed. People are bored with the team twist now but at least we only have one more week of it after Thursday. Otherwise we would be facing two more weeks of it and possibly no veterans leaving.

"Flop" enough that I wish I had my Real money back.
I'm hoping for something more interesting, in the next couple of weeks.

I hardly watch the feeds this year, But sigh wondering if I am loosing my interest in BB. I so looked forward to it starting and still watch the regular TV Nights, and check all your life feed updates, but it's just not catching my attention yet. Hopefully when they are done with the pairs.

It's the "deja vu" that spoils it for me... Brenchel were okay to see them for the first time, now it's like a recurring toothache... Jeff and Jordan were super okay the first time but had left me with a sour taste in my mouth towards the end of the season and to see them again now it's like "oh no that again!!", Dick brought back bad memories but had the decency of leaving so early that I didn't mind and the new Danielle is like seeing her for the first time, so I don't mind.
The newbies are very boring and the 'pair' twist is making them very bad players and I can understand why I speedwatch through the whole tv show...
The conversations here reflect my mood and so I'm not participating as much as in the past... things better change soon

This season is a huge disappointment for me. Not happy at all about the returnees being there. The newbies are boring beyond belief and I shudder to think these 8 were the "best" of those who applied.

Haven't been watching the feeds nor do I plan to anymore.

Sadly my interest in BB is all but dead now.

Thanks AG for taking a good thing and gutting it.

Every year we are at this juncture when only a couple of weeks have elapsed. The thing is that they know from so many previous seasons what does not work, so the newbies are still trying to figure it out. Once the couples are split, we will see a new game.....just give it some time. The best book I ever read was a snooze for the first 5 chapters and then I couldn't put it down.

I'm so bummed that I haven't used live feeds once, yet.

Jordan (or Jeff) going along with Rachel just sickens me. Rachel just sickens me and Brandon is worse. Porsche is obnoxious. Don't care for Shelly much, Kalia is so annoying.. I like Cassi but she's obviously toast. I like Dani but I'm sure she will be booted the second that is possible.. she just won't be able to hang with Rachel enough so she's a target.

i kind of liked brendon last year but seeing him this year i don't like him at all. rachel is someone i would never care for in real life. she is emotionally draining and is in constant need of validation. as the kids say-that's not the way i roll.

I think this season is better that season 12 but still not as good as season 11.

BB11 was chock full of nutters and I just don't know that Grodner make that happen again.

The feeds stared out awesome with Dick leaving immediately. I still think he must have failed his drug test causing BB to kick him out.
Letting him stay would have only subjected the HG's and us to seeing him go through withdrawal and possibly commit acts of violence in the house which would lead to law suits.

I'm enjoying it. I'm not in favour of retreads and especially hope that J/J and B/R get split as they are playing the same game - Dani is turning out to be an interesting player without Dick, so I'm hopeful that Rachel and J/J might be too (no hope for Brendan - he's still useless IMO).

I also really like the duos/golden key twist, and would love it if they kept it up until there were 9, not 10 - the jury and F2.

I also think casting this year is better than in past years - I think there are more real people than actor/model wannabes, and one of the recruits has actually turned out to be an interesting player (Cassi; Porsche is pointless IMO).
