Just the fact that the veterans came in as pairs who had been together before was a big advantage over the newbies who just met their partner and had to pick in a mad scramble!
Julie said there was going to be a big change in the game and I hope it actually changes things.

Hey guys. I am officially out. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone before I left. I enjoyed all the posts here.

BB have been taken off my tivo, Showtime won't be watched, at least when I saw Brendon and Rachel back in the house I didn't order the feeds. I do owe hubby a big hug for forgetting to order them early, lol. I may check in here from time to time, but for all intents and purposes BB is over for me and I won't be posting anymore.

TVCH is still the best place to be, even though retreading Brendon and Rachel completely ruined this year of BB for me.

What did BB think was going to happen when you start the game with three couples whose partners already know each other really well and trust each other? And then when one couple gets torn asunder, they give the remaining partner immunity for a month?

Did AG really think this would make for good TV?

I am not at all surprised that a newbie went home -- again -- and that a retread won HoH -- again.

::sigh::

Can a flop flop again? Yes. It can and it did. By the time this golden key shyt and couples crap is over, the nom pool will be circlin' the drain. Like this season.

I said to myself before the show started; self? What could make this worse? Another BR HOH. Someone call 911. My eyes have rolled to the back of my head and I can't get up.

This season is over for me too. It's a joke the oldies are in power yet again. I couldn't stand Rachel last season and this is even worse. And this Golden key thing only came about because their "secret" was voted out first last year so they wanted to make sure these oldies were going to be in the house for a while - I just didn't know they would be taking it to this extreme. Unless I find our Cassi has been voted back in I will catch everyone during BB14 next year.

Back when they wanted Boogie to win his season, the HOH competition was almost exactly the same as tonights. Since none of the HG's can possibly know how America is feeling about them, it's a pure guessing game unless one is coached in the DR.

Yes, it's a complete flop. Why even bother with having the newbies on at all?

It bothers me that they talked all week about when Rachel wins and what do you know she wins. I don't feel Jordan's win was rigged but this one stinks of something rotten.

Hi everyone! It has been a good year since I've been here but thought I'd throw in my two cents.

I am not loving this season. The only ones I could've seen myself rooting for (as the shows progressed) are Dom and Cassie (too late for her). As soon as I learned who the returning house guests were, I didn't want to watch. However, this year I've got a DVR and had already programmed the recordings for BB, so I'm stuck :-)

Why is Rachel allowed on my television? I tweeted last night after catching up with the veto and HOH episode, "No Rachel, America doesn't hate you. North America hates you".

Its just been getting worse over the last few yrs...I actually love reading the treads here, but as for watching the feeds...I have maybe caught 4 or 5 hours of the entire season...and that's not even sitting still and paying attention....that's mostly just listening from a distance...I tuned in late last night and when I relieved that Rachel was the HOH....I just turned it off and went to bed....

Ether I am just getting old or 'Im over it'....sad!

After last nights HOH, I'm just thinking that I'm watching as 5 cats toy with 6 mice that are left and decide when is the best time to devour each one. This season is so bad. The veterans winning everything, already knowing their partner so well and the all others in their veteran group. They all hang out together at different functions during the years. The newbies are starry eyed over them and don't know any of the other newbies, so total disadvantage. I bet I can predict most of the rest of the eliminations.....no fun!

there are two reasons the show has been a flop so far.
1) poorly thought out comps/ boring to watch and dangerous for a couple. Huge advantages to one member of a team to backstab the other for Golden Key chance

2) TV show is worse then ever. the Diary rooms seem so scripted that the HGs sound like they are reading Cue cards. The HGs do not talk like themselves, its obvious by the wording, that they did not write the material, its fed to them (and we've heard it before during DR leaks)

My family which were BB fans since season one started to watch BB13 when we knew ED wasnt on. Now i'm still watching but my family are giving up on it. the rigged Jordan HOH and now this one has made this show LESS BB and more Joe Schmoe

I don't think it's a flop at all. I like the concept of the golden key, but I don't like that it's so long. I think they should have a couple of weeks, but not 4. I know that would have screwed things up too though since you don't have a partner.

I love that the couples have to work totally with each other for them to be safe, but then they also have to make deals so if they do go up their partner will be the one eliminated.

Copy that, Sunshyne. And what a joke this week... there's only 3 couples to nominate and we all know R/B ain't touchin' JJ.

Question... say Dom/Adam nommed and for once JJ don't play; instead Kalia/Luwan play and win. Can they take off Dom/Adam and all four be safe forcing BR to put up JJ?

That's the only thing IMO that could get this thing called BB13 off life support. Otherwise, we continue circlin' the drain.

I'M OUT TOO.this year is worse than the first season. do these people pay cbs to bring them back to these shows? - survivor- bb- amazing race. are there not enough interesting people in the country to cast unknowns? DO UNKNOWNS DEMAND TOO MUCH MONEY? ARE WE SO STUPID WE CAN'T FOLLOW THE SHOW IF WE DON'T AREADY KNOW THE CAST? and now they are using the show to promote their next crappy show. if there was any doubt left that the show is scripted and planned - everyone in the house is a fan of david hasselhoff and theY even know his nicknames? we used to plan our vacation around the start of bb. now its just another nighttime soap. a bad one at that!
