I just wanted to see if I am the only one who has been entirely disappointed with BBAD this year. It seems like they do all of the entertaining stuff before or after BBAD and that they think they need to do "fun stuff" (boring IMO) for the audience. I have yet to stay up to watch an entire 3 hours this season. I find it so boring that it puts me to sleep. What do others think about BBAD?

It has been a snooze, except for the occasional game talk or quarrel. I think production told them to come up with entertaining things to do, but their skits so far have been lame. Watching people play pool or cards is boring. I record BBAD and then play it back in the morning as background noise while I do other things.

I agree- total snoozefest. I don't think I have seen anything exciting happening this season at all. I guess I should record it also and check this board the next day to see if anything interesting happened from live feeds before bothering with watching it.

BBAD works out okay for me...I'm on the west coast so BBAD airs live on the east coast but it's delayed on tape by 3 hours before I can see it. I can check the live feed thread to see if anything interesting happened between 9pm and midnight (BB time) and then I know when and where to look for it the next day on my tivo.

I don't get the live feeds anymore (not for about the last 5 or 6 seasons) but I do have Showtime so I automatically get Show2 at no extra cost. BBAD gives me more insight into the players than just watching the aired episodes and that's all I really need anymore.....I'm not nearly as obsessed with BB as I was a decade ago!

The HGs are totally aware of BBAD in fact many nights I see it you hear them asking what times is it? has BBAD started yet? Adam and Shelly were the worst culprits with playing to the cameras. Serious Gamers like Dani, Jeff, Brendan, were not so much players to the cameras.

I record BBAD and really only watch it on the eviction night. Most nights it is just boring stuff.

We had never watched it before this season so we decided to get Showtime for the summer. I ended up canceling it last night because we stopped watching. All they ever did was eat and play up to the cameras. I was hoping it was more like the live feeds.

Call, all of the other years were very entertaining besides this year. I would cancel Showtime also if we did not have other shows we liked to watch on that channel.

I must agree that BBAD is not worth it...glad that I get Show2 as part of my current Xfinity package.


All the HG seem to do is play pool which was often amusing when the guys played without Rachel butting in. Now all they do is play cards with the green tea packets cards that Rachel devised. I think, even they get bored!!

Not much to watch except eviction nights or sometimes after game play. I usually set my tv sleep timer.

After years of reading that so much went on during BBAD, I was thrilled to get to see them in action....boy was I wrong!!!

I watch it but I only watch it hoping that they will do or say something..Evel Dick would at least talk to the showtime cameras an that would be way more entertaining then watching them play cards with tea bags or shoot pool...although we also had to watch him spit all over the place too. They really should plan things for the BBAD hours.

I'm torn----- I love seeing them unscripted, not nervous, but they need to change a few things:
1. No pool tournaments!
2. No goofy accents!
3. No cooking/eating dinner after 9pm!
4. No boring card/chess games!
They can do all these things before 9 or after midnight BB House time.
Oh, and NO shout outs to Farrah!

Sanfranjoshfan:
You have me confused. BBAD isn't delayed 3 hours on the West Coast? BBtime/West Coast 9PM-12AM, we see it live. And doesn't East Coast see it live also but it is 12AM-3AM on the East Coast? We all see it live at the same time, right?

Saba, I can only see it from midnight to 3am, west coast time....it's delayed 3 hours. I only have the west coast feed of Show2. (I used to also have the east cast feed about 5 years ago but Comcast took it away from us here in SF)

However, some folks on the west coast do get the east coast feed of Show2 in their cable package, so they can watch it live at the same time they see it on the east coast.

the first year of BBAD the hgs would basically act as usual. lots of beer pong but nothing much different

I've noticed BB11 and this season that the HGs will not talk serious game until after midnight.

i assume its because of BBAD and the fakedy fake games n stuff production wants them to do.

Oh jeez, I LOVE BBAD. It starts here at 11 PM. So I can go to bed early some nights and just FF through the recording for anything important. That's 3 hours that I don't have to sift through in flashback. It's a lot easier to FF through recorded BBAD than to do anything with flashback.

I sure wouldn't pay for Sho2 just to have BBAD. I've only found it useful a few days the whole season. Usually, I just record it and delete it and read here. lol

I like it because of closed captions and I'm deaf so I'm depending on CC. I wish it's 24 hours BADD.

Chippy, yeah, I don't think showtime would be worth it just for BBAD, but since we already subscribe, it's just a bonus for me.

Showtime has the best original series'. Californication, Weeds, Dexter, Episodes, Nurse Jackie, Shameless, Tudors, and more.

One more thing I like about BBAD...If two people are having a conversation, the view doesn't just sit on one person. The view will actually switch between the people in the conversation.

I've never watched it because I've always had the feeds, and never subscribed to that channel.

Conversations used to be switched back and forth on the feeds a lot more than they seem to be now days.

Naja, I love all of the other shows you listed on Showtime also, so it makes it worth having in our Directv package. Otherwise I would just cancel Showtime for just BBAD.

Pretty much in the same boat w/ many here. No time for feeds, mostly dvr the BBAD unless I had trouble sleeping. Then I'd check through the Screen Cap thread, read some LF Chat thread w/ it playing in the BG. If I don't have time that day, I'd just FF & look for the interesting things mentioned here....

I'll never go out of my way to get Showtime just for BBAD either. I'm getting the Show pak for free for the second year. -- Every time I complain about the cost about TW/RR, they give me something free. I'm probably spending too much on the land-line phone, but my household has the need to keep the same number we'd have for 25 yrs. for everyone's concern...

I tend to watch BBAD every night, but don't really expect much from it.

Can't say I'm excited for that treasonous-soldier series with Damien/Lt.Winters and Claire Danes they always promo throughout.

I get the feeds and use to get BBAD. I, like others, found what they show on BBAD is not what I enjoy in BB. I like game talk and plotting. This is very rarely shown on BBAD ( too many skits, games, people acting like they get along).
