I found myself watching BB a LOT less this year. I found the retreads annoying, the newbies forgettable and the comps and pace of the game too predictable. I also found AG's transparent actions to make sure a retread won aggravating.

How about you?

Pretty much the same as previous years. I watched more of BBAD though because this is the first year we had it for the full season.

I watched more. BBLite made it easier to have it on my screen in the background.

I never went to the CBS official website... that's really strange how I didn't care enough to check it out.

I don't have live feeds, I don't have BBAD, but rely on the great summary of Morty's site, first thing I do while sipping cappuccino in the morning. Then I come in here and see what's up, for the endurance comps I checked Joker's site, but mostly I was here, I enjoy the threads and the pics thread.

Sure enough one of my threads got zapped again this year!! eh, eh (The Jury House), I like to get conversations going but they have to be moderated, I understand.

So this is it for my BB fun this summer. The lull of these past few days killed my enthusiasm for the final show and don't really care at this point who wins or doesn't win. They killed the momentum for me...

But it was also good to ease the BB withdrawal pain that usually follows a good season, but don't have it so much this time.

I know this board won't die and there are other fun threads in here, like TV shows and the library and movies threads... oh yeah, the current news thread is also good.

I probably watched the feeds a little less this year, mainly because I could not get the feeds on my work computers this year. I did watch the feeds on my mobile phone, but not as much.

I watched about the same as I do every year, with the exception of the awful and terrible Season 9. That was the only BB that I stopped watching halfway through.

I watched close to the same as previous seasons although I basically have only watched a wee wee bit since it was down to f3.

I haven't found this F3 group interesting on any sort of level. I'm glad the season is over and looking forward to the next....so I guess I'm a BB'er for life.

I only watched a few weeks of the season with Parker and the season with Dick was hard for me, as a woman and human being to watch so I barely watched that season. So I'm a pretty die hard feeder. And I'm an optimist so I really have hopes for a good season next summer.

Best summer ever! Had the live feeds on for a total of about 8 minutes and fast forwarded through most of the TV shows. Enjoyed stopping here occasionally but didn't take the time to read all the overnight postings as I used to. Instead, did some traveling, cleaned out the attic, read some great books and enjoyed friends and family. My hopes that the show would revert back to the format of seasons 1-3 are finally dashed forever and I can put my BB addiction behind me for good.

I watched much less. Fast forwarded through the majority of the shows if I watched them at all. Got caught up on things here, but even posted less. I didn't get the feeds for only about the 2nd time ever. The show wasn't as interesting and there was a lot less congeniality here as well. It just didn't seem the same this year all around. I think I'm over BB.

I watch much less and don't follow the feeds. I used to do all that but it's too time-consuming. If I follow along on the board and see the screen caps, I get the gist. Thanks you guys for the info!

I watched the tv show less. In the past if I couldnt be home I would tape it, but this year I found that if I miseed a show, the recap of the beginning of every show filled me in.
I found myself coming here less and less to read what was going on in the House--it just didnt seem that interesting. But I will watch tonight, I guess.

Watched less, cancelled feeds early on and depend on TVCH for most of my info and interest. Yawl are the best.

I watched every show all the way through and read this board several times each day. I've never had BBAD, so not watching that was the same. I do have the feeds, but real life interfered with watching as much of those as I have in the past. I relied a lot on flashbacks this year.

If I didn't have the feeds or watch the show, I don't think I'd search websites for information about something I have no interest in.

But that's just me!

I'd say considerable less, since I refused to watch the retreads! I watched maybe 30 minutes total of the TV shows, never watched any live feeds, never checked anywhere else on the Web for any info. Hated the retreads, found the newbies completely boring, and was very glad to enjoy my summer!

I have the feeds and watched them 75% less than other years. I remember when the 1st. thing I did when I got up was go to this site to read what happened overnight. Now, when I get around to it. Read my book when the show is on.
I agree with Costacat 150% about the hamsters.

I watched the TV as much as ever but wasn't as invested in this season. When I saw Dick and Danielle, I wasn't going to bother at all. It has just been an ok season for me. However, I will watch again next year.

I loved the retreads!! I watched more this year. I had fun with it all. I admit I do not watch the tv show except for Thursday. Except if it sounded like a fun comp, I would watch from the DVR. I love BB, I and moan about the contestants, but I watch none-the-less. It is my summer guilty pleasure and except for season 9, I too have been a die hard!

Much, much, much less. I've hardly had feeds on this summer and cancelled them a few days ago. Been watching the show with my daughter, but three weeks ago I made her get back into school schedule (bed at 9) and we haven't had the time to sit and watch the dvr'd shows. Probably end up fast forwarding through most of those and just watch the whole finale.

I have read pretty much everything posted, even though my viewing of feeds and the show have gone way down.

Like Mamapors, I loved the retreads! Watched the feeds more this season than any except BB11 & All-Stars. I will admit though...since Jordan left I've hardly watched but I'm excited for the show tonight.

As always...I read here everyday and do not miss many posts. I posted much more here this year than in the past also. TVCH is my BB site of choice;-)
