Well, since I actually hate the cheesy TV show, I don't even look for a show thread. I'm in this for the live feed. The only show I watch is the eviction show, because it's not on the feeds.

Dan and Britney are without a doubt the worst two at making decisions. Brittany has been a disaster with her team, and look at the players Dan chose. As coaches and decision makers, they suck.

There is something about the personalities in the house this year that makes me yawn. I really can't get attached to any of them. They are a very unlikeable group! I just can't make myself care what happens to them!

I thought Dan was great with Danielle. He forced her to go out and fight for herself. And she did, and it seems to have worked for her. He compared it to coaching his school teams - he tells them what they have to do, but he doesn't get on the field and play with them, they need to want to win and play for the win.

I find the show OK this year. I really like Ian. He's cute and kind. During the Olympics, I will not stress if I miss a show. I will just pop over during commercials in the Olympics.

I'm enjoying the show too. But I understand that it is apparently dull as dishwater on the feeds.

Actually, I'm enjoying the feeds. I know a lot of people say they're boring, but I like to hear the non-game conversations that give me a better idea of who these people really are. I'm all about the social experiment, to me, the game is secondary. I am Alison Grodner's worst nightmare!

I am with Rosem, I only watch the live show on Thursday. Also enjoy the non game talk on the feeds, though do admit there are some boring people this year. I can't imagine Kara's coming back into the game will add much of anything.

The recaps are too long AND they recap twice for some reason, I've always wondered if they thought the fans were so stupids, that we need a recap twice... It's not a new thing but it is one more thing that bugs me. Plus Boogie and Brit ruined it for me as well

I'm finding the show pretty boring. The recaps are mega annoying, along with the constant DR blather during the competitions. I surf the web during most of the show, since there's so much filler.

Funny, I actually like the new players this year but then when I tune in to the show, there's Boogie who I never want to see again and Britney who never should have been there not to mention editing for the live show where they take 20 minutes to show you 30 seconds of new footage. I don't see it as being the new players. For me it's the same boring format (and retread players) that what's-her-name refuses to let go of. It's so easy to ignore.

I think my disinterest is because of the Coaches Twist.. I just don't like it... the dynamics would have been entirely different if Boogie/Janelle/Dan/Brittany were not involved... there would have been more scheming and no one would be "hiding" behind their coaches ... I just finished watching last nights show... YAWN... And I think Joe is pulling the "June" strategy.. be in the kitchen .. see all (except he is quick to tell all as well)

Do you guys get tired of the TV show trying to insinuate romances? I was so perplexed about why I needed to know what kind of guy Ashley likes. I'm not following the live stuff intensely but I haven't noticed any showmances going on.

I think Id almost rather see the coaches play the game than coach. Im not as nterested either this yr.Ive been staying off the feeds and such hoping that would help. Also Id like to see more camera time for Jenn and Wil.

Pinto, I hate those stupid romance segments as well. I was so lost last night when they tried to paint Ashley as the hippy dippy chick who just wants to find love, which is nothing like her in actuality. Yeah, she's dippy but they took it to a whole new level. I think they are going to focus on a player every week. Wonder if we will get hometown interviews?

For those who only watch the eviction show, how do you see the confessionals from the other shows? Also, how do you see the veto competition? For me, I watch every show and the live feeds. There is so much on the shows that aren't the live feeds and vice versa.

I will probably be watching this evening. I can try to help out with spoiling.

Jen I don't see the confessionals or the competitions. I read the boards to see what everyone is saying. I do have the shows on my DVR and could go and watch....but so far haven't felt the need to do that. I do like most of the new players and wish the coaches were not there. The fact that the coaches can't get voted out changes the game. They end up with too much input into what's happening in the game.

The problem I have with the 'confessionals' is that they use them as narration for the competitions. Other than that, we just get soundbites: "I really need to win the veto" "I'm afraid I'm going to go home this week" "I really can't trust ______" We only get scripted comments from the DR, where we used to get information on what the houseguests are really thinking. As far as the competitions, since I watch the live feed, I already know who won, so there's no excitement there!

Completely agree about the DR's. How the producers and directors of Big Brother think that seeing recaps narrated by these talking heads is interesting is beyond me. Give us some insight that we don't know. This may resuscitate some lost interest.

You are soooo right about the DR's. the "I really need to win this POV" is the worst one! Every once in a while we'll actually hear something new. Not too often, which stinks.

first time ever i havent even made it thru the Very first TV show. soon as i saw that Brit, Dan and Boog were in there, that was it for me. HAted Dan and Boog with a passion that most of you remember. I was a big janelle fan but this Mentor format means that "real" big brother was NOT going to happen, instead it would be immediately a posturing for power and gameplay. No first week where everyone gets to know each other and starts trying to form friendships/ alliances. the boringly predictable tv show has ruined this franchise as well. We all have heard DR leaks in which HGs are made to repeat sentences and phrases. we also never get a fair representation of the HGs, isntead the "ringers" are given way more airtime
