as much as I do like this season, I really would like to see a season where all the players "earned" their place in the house by competing in contests using knowledge of past seasons. And in order to be picked for the contest, they would have to submit a video with them stating what was the best move ever made in BB, who made it and why was it the best in your opinion...and then stating what was the worse move ever made in BB, who made it and why it was the worst move in your opinion... This would ensure that before even competing, the player would demonstrate a knowledge of how the game is played...and then the contest would demonstrate their ability to actually play the game... *sighs*.... I can dream can't I??

I started to watch after Dick left and I find it boring. I'm not sure this can be call a game when the past seasons players have clear advantages. They know and trust their partner, they know how to play the social game & they have done similar challenges in the past. Yes maybe the newbies can work on the fact that they saw them play before but being in the house is totally different than being in front of the tv. At least if their partner was a friend, GF or BF it would have been different for me. I'll still lurk here because I enjoy your posts but I don't really care if I miss a show.

I do not like this new twist, where everyone has a partner and the one who is not booted gets a key. I do not like the brenchel and jeff/jordan duos as returnees. It was so much better when everyone played for themselves and they were all strangers. I used to sit and read the feeds day and night, (lol, what a life) but now, I just come on to see who was nominated. I really hope next year they have all new players.

It is hard to believe that in a country as large as the United States that there aren't at least a half dozen people who are possibly more interesting than the 6 returnees. There must be all kinds of applicants to choose from. If Dick is the most exciting man in America that's a problem...

Anyone else besides me not happy with the new broadcast schedule. Last season they had Sun,Tuesday and Thursday. It was nice seeing the POV and then 2 days later the eviction. Now their are too many days in between episodes and then back to back days of episodes.

wavewatcher- normal people are too smart to go on tv and have all their little quirks aired on the internet and tv. also normal people usually have jobs that can't afford to send them to bb summer camp, it would bring much animosity in the work place plus their work needs to be done. i watch the show to see how the other half lives mitch300- yes i liked that line-up better. sun-weds is just too long. so much has changed.

BB has been boring for years, that's not kept it from having high ratings and coming back year after year. This season is panning out worst than most, because the twist is not only predictable but beyond the 'reveal' -- not very interesting. BTW I think they paid Dick to leave by giving him an "emergency bail offer". It was good because he was nasty to watch.

Being boring and being a flop is relative...

I agree Cyclope, the 3 returning couples are so close, no way are they going to turn on each other. The newbies had minutes to decide how to pair up and turned on each other in a few days. They are just going to get picked off one by one and then someone that has already won the show or done great before is going to win. YAWN!! I used to watch Showtime After Dark every night and now I maybe catch an hour or two a week if I'm bored.

What are you people talking about????? I LOVE this season so far.....mainly because my favorite couple of all time, Jeff and Jordan have a fighting chance this time....and even Brenchal has a CHANCE to actually go FAR because they are not totally outnumbered in the house....and I also like some of the newbies and are interested to see if they can outmaneuver the veterans.... I have laughed a lot so far...and I really am ENJOYING this season....just saying!!!!

The BB schedule isn't new this year. Since NCIS Los Angeles debuted, BB has been on Wed. nights.

As much as I hate to say it, I just cant get into to this season! I find I am not scrambling to read up on all thats happening in the house, and the other night I realized that the show was on and I had already missed 45 minutes of it and didnt really care! That has never happened before. I guess when I saw that the veterans were running the show, I figured that whats the point in getting to know and care about the newbies when they would be picked off. It will probably get better once the keyholders become a force to be reckened with.

Have the girls from The Talk been on the show yet? Wondered if I missed the most possibly interesting part of the show.

The Talk ladies spent time in the house before anyone got in. They did a competition and an eviction amongstthemselves. I have a feeling that nobody from BB will be crossing over to the Talk.

I am mixed. I think the live feeds I have seen and showtime after dark have been horribly boring especially lately. I think the CBS shows is actually better than in past where I didn't even care to see it, the show is actually a lot more interesting than the live feeds and recaps this year. The good part i get from reading recaps though is Dani is really funny. I think I crack up at least a couple of times a day reading recaps of some things she has said. It is only week two and week one was really a week of nothing. This week things started to shake up a bit, but we have to see how more people react when put on the spot. This HOH will be big and we will see things kick in. Adam and Dom didn't do much because they could win veto. Shelly and Cassie are not doing much because they are boring and smoke too much. It could improve. I guess the big show down will be if Rachel and Brendan turn on JJ or vice versa. Perhaps with Danielle's goading.

Yes, I agree. Bringing back past players has truly cut my liking of this season. A lot. I just hope they somehow all go quickly after this week.

For people who think this season is a flop, surely you don't think it is more boring than last season with the Brigade basically winning the entire season with no contest?

Triple flop in the form of triple retreads. And this golden key thing is just ludricrous IMO. I could see a free week but a free month times four and one that didn't even avoid eviction is just too much. The other thing that is on my nerves with the whole couples thing is the throwing of comps in pairs. Snoozer.

As much as I actually do like Danielle this time, I think it would have been best to boot her when Dick left. If they play as a team, they should leave as a team...

Hayden (winner), Lane (2nd place), Enzo (meow meow 3rd place) and Matt (somewhere a bit earlier). The first three were never at risk and orchestrated the entire game from start to finish.

Oh yes, thanks. And blech. That was the worst. Must have been my mind trying to protect itself that made me forget them!! Oh yes, Lane, the animal abuser. What a "red dots"!! (fill in your own red dots.)
