The fact that Brendon came back isn't why I'm upset. The fact that the show has clearly been rigged all season long to favor the Veterans is disgusting to me, and makes fools of all BB fans. It's not just Brendon "winning" a vote he clearly didn't win...it's all of it.

Awe...that's too bad Sean. I try not to think about it and just enjoy the ride for the most part. Sorry to hear you're not enjoying it but I understand if you don't want to write about it anymore. I will miss your BB blog but will tune in when you write about Survivor and Amazing Race.

No, It's not about Brendon. It was about the fact that the producers are rigging the show. But I realized I'm still too much of an addict, and I'm going to watch anyways, so I might as well recap. When I made my vow to stop recapping, I was planning on not watching either, but that didn't exactly work. I'm a weak, weak man.

I'm such a weak, weak person that I don't even care what your reasons are - if you're blogging, I'm reading! Your blog is usually more enjoyable than the actual show!

if Dani and Kalia are on your hit list, and now Jeff and Jordan are on your hit list, and you hate Shelly, and Porsche and Adam are floaters, does that mean that ALL SEVEN of the remaining houseguest are #1 on your hit list? LOL best line of the blog for me and so true!!!

I will not be recapping any more this season. Should have quit a couple of weeks ago, like I thought. Thanks for the support over the course of the season. I will be recapping the new Seasons of Survivor and The Amazing Race in September. I hope you'll keep reading.

LOL! Loved it! (And I'd like to put in a plug for Xtranormal. I use it w/my students, and they have a blast creating dialogues for Spanish class with it!)

That video reeks bad Sportsmanship in my opinion. Every year we say BB is fixed bla bla bla. All of the drama, backstabbing, friendships and twists..even if pulled out of a hat by production, is part of this game. If after all this time we do not accept this is the BB game, then we should not be watching it. I am addicted to BB for the good, bad and the ugly. Since BB started...I have only had 2 people win that I was rooting for. AG can mess with the game..but no one can predict the winner in the end. Why cannot we just love and accept BB for what it is? A reality show for our entertainment..no matter what the outcome.

Holly - I used to use it with Etherpad - a wiki like document builder that allowed me to see who was typing what. They'd build their dialogue in Etherpad (which has color coded lines, so I knew who contributed what - AND it had a chat bar that I also could see). Once the dialogue was completed, they'd type it into Xtranormal and choose the characters, animation, etc. I see that Google has acquired Etherpad, and I have NOT done collaborative writing w/them yet; however, if it allows me the same luxuries, it will be fin. SORRY FOR OFF TOPIC :POST! Miss Sean's blog, but I'm looking forward to his Survivor blog in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for that info, Teach. I like the Etherpad and color coded lines. Will give a try. Sean, are you too disgusted with BB to continue your blog or is it something else? Only a few weeks to survivor though

Yes Holly, I'm too disgusted to continue for this season. That's the best way to sum it up. But it's not only that I'm so aggravated with the show for all of the reasons I've mentioned in the past. But the reports that Shelly is so hated because of her flip on Jeff, voting him out, that her family was receiving death threats...and her 8-year-old daughter was being threatened with physical harm, and even worse...it's unbelievable. And some wingnuts started a campaign urging people to file false claims of molestation and child abuse so that Shelly loses her daughter...and calling her workplace asking for her to be fired. Are you kidding me? It pains me to think that anyone who could do this could have accidentally stumbled upon my blog and read my satirical, sarcastic comments and taken them seriously. As loyal readers would know, I'm a sarcastic prick, but I rarely say anything for any reason other than comic or entertainment purposes. I want nothing to do with this show anymore. It's disheartening.

It is what it is...every year you hear the same stuff...You know this going in....What you do and how it makes you feel is up to you. It's your choice. We all have our "favorites" and in a game like this it is dog eat dog. Anything is possible and I guess at the end...the hamsters are the ones that have to suffer those consequences. Me, I can turn it off and go about my life. I understand some can't but I'll always be ready for the next Big Brother!! There will always be the crazies like the ones that do what they did to Shelly's family. I truly believe those types of people are that way with not even watching a show like BB. Go Jordan, Rachel & Adam!!! My 3 favs that I hope end up the 3 finalist.

I quite agree! IT IS A GAME! One in which I have NO personal stake. I just can't see being that way over people I do not know and most likely will NEVER know or meet in my life. I just do not understand people getting so worked up over something they have no personal stake in either...or do they?!
