Apparently, Reality Tea thinks it is. And validly so, I think. http://www.realitytea.com/2011/07/18/reasons-why-big-brother-13-returning-dynamic-duos-twist-is-a-fail/

I'm not saying if this season is a flop or not but it is the inevitable question that comes up every year at about this point in the season.

For me it is. I have yet to watch a full show this season. I just do not want to see BR, JJ or DD (I know one of the Ds is gone.) The new players are all star struck and it reminds me of Survivor this past season. But I do enjoy coming here and posting on the boards.

It's already better than BB12.

I would say yes, it is a do-over of a couple of "paired" seasons, why do they think this is a new concept? And I am not enjoying the re-treads, the game isn't new, just a repeat of BB12.

I was so excited after the first episode revealed all of the twists, but now. . . it looks like the veterans are going to pick off the newbies one by one. Boring!

It's a bit boring right now- though I suspect things will pick up once either a newbie wins HOH or they get to 10 and go to individual play...Dominic winning HOH this week would really spark things..

I'm liking this season a lot! I like the people and their interactions. Plus so far the challenges have been funny and amusing. Not seeing a downside to this season at all.

I agree that I would have rather seen all of the old players return for another all star show next year, and this season have been all new people.

If a newbie wins HoH, the POV comp will be epic!

I think it's way too early to decide if the season is a flop. And according to the ratings, it's doing quite well.

ratings dropping plus until new shows start, there is nothing to battle ratings with

I hope a newbie wins the HOH, otherwise the newbies will become the minority. It's pretty much the same thing each year. Someone wants to get famous from doing the show. People run around trashing other houseguests. Usually one person ends up doing all the cleaning. Same old stuff. So I wouldn't call it a flop. It's just the same old boring stuff.

Dullsville to me with the veterans running the show and two too many newbies playing into their hands...

I agree that if a newbie wins HOH, it is a whole new game and make it interesting. As Cali said..it will be a very important POV. I love Rachael feeling insecure with Cassie being there. So much drama with Rachael. How many times can Bren try to make her feel good after her soo many crying jags? I don't find myself anxious and eager to get on the computer first thing each morning to see what happened. Also, don't watch the feeds as much either.

Even much worse, no explanation was given for Dick’s departure. Seriously, the viewers deserved an explanation. It’s the least Big Brother could do after his abrupt exit. Agree!

Or it could have been the veterans being picked off one after the other. Is it their fault that the newbies fell into their 'trap'? Every year we get the same question about that season and ratings. I am not watching the feeds again this year or keeping up with feeds (check about once a day) and no SHO this year either but that means I don't get annoyed by the characters any more which I think is much better for my family and my sanity. This show will only continue to go on as long as people still watch it or obsess. I read the ratings are fine so I guess this season isn't a huge flop yet.

Bad BB is better than no BB. Winter season proved that. That said, this season is not all that bad.

I like the couples twist for the 4 weeks. It would have been better without Brendon and Rachel...

"Which HGs were in the one winter season?" Wasn't that the season that Adam won (the guy that supposedly worked with disabled kids and then used the word "retard" on the show and that got himself fired)? He was also the one that he took his 500k winnings and tried to build an illegal Oxycontin empire. One of his buddies in the house was arrested with him. I can't remember his name but he always reminded me of Ross on "Friends". I think it also had that ex-porn star, James, the guy with the orange hair and that big stupid bow tie tattoo across the top of his chest.

I think that the winter BB was the one where Adam won. I'm not sure, but I think.
