I posted this in "Questions" and I meant to post it here for your answers. Just out of curiosity, would you be interested in this show if all we had to watch was was the CBS produced show? No live feeds or BBAD, only what is fed to us by CBS. Look at the Glass House ratings, not good at all, and they have partial feeds. Their cast is 100x better than BB, and yet, not much interest in the show. As I was watching the live show last night, I realized I could repeat word for word what was being said. It was so scripted. There were no changes, the same speeches and instruction, standing in front of that stupid board looking at the pictures. I know I would not be interested. I stopped watching GH after the first two shows.

I'm more interested in the LFs than the show itself. After having the LFs early on and seeing how heavily edited it is to favour certain HGs, I can't be bothered. I used to ff all the shows and only watch the comps, but now I only watch Thursdays voting and HOH comp.

I agree with Bblovergirl. I've been reading the transcripts of the live feeds from last night on Jokers...am I listening to the same house as the people are living in? I can't believe all the Janelle hate, especially from her own team. She wasn't perfect, but to me she was the coach who went to bat for her team time after time...Wil and Ashley especially, and they are two of the worst at trash talking her now! There's a reason that there are 3 of her people still in the house, and it sure ins't their own ability to win competitions. Did I miss something?

Roxip- I think part of it is they resented them coming in the first place, and part that the coaches had immunity for the first three weeks. Plus Danielle is deeply insecure, and her vitriol sorta infected most of the others (which Boogie encouraged).

She's the only coach whose team was intact. Joe Wil Ashley still there thanks to Janie. Seems like they'd figure that out.

Jabelljba, Boogie's team is still intact - Frank, Ian and Jenn. As for show vs feeds, I heard from a friend working on one of the international editions that the US producers told them to focus only on the shows, because 85% of viewers do not watch the feeds or follow the show online.

I agree whole heartedly with Bblover. I think bringing the old "have beens" back was BB's downfall this year. Putting them in the game was even more ridiculous. None of them deserve to win. Have beens or newbies. MHO

Boogies team is intact because of the twist. They should have had the eviction, then the coaches come in.

Willie who?
Lorry, I pretty much only watch the live feed, and the live show. I will sometimes FF through the non-live shows just to see how a comp went down, or to hear a DR that I've heard people talk about. I can watch the show in about 15 minutes! Sometimes I don't watch the show at all. I think I have several unwatched episodes on my DVR right now. If it wasn't for the live feeds, I would not watch the TV show. Too repetitive, too cheesy, too boring. I get the live feeds every year since S1, it wouldn't be summer without them!

i normally don't mind bringing the oldies back, unless it's someone i don't like (like jesse) however it really distracts from the newbies and you never really learn to like any of them. they never have a chance to be the star of the season. that part i don't like.

I agree. I don't know what magic Frank possesses in the control room but there must be something. Having said that, I would love to see in a few weeks him put Boogie up for eviction...surely he realizes that for his game to be successful to the end that would be the best way of ensuring him the final prize!

I'm completely against bringing old players back to play with new players, even the ones I really like. Maybe just for a competition, is OK. I'd rather see the old players only in all star shows ... Or, as I've said for many years, I'd love to see a second chance show. All the returning HGs were among the first 3 evicted during their season.

Boogies team is intact because of the twist. They should have had the eviction, then the coaches come in. Dke, ITA. I think production wants a Frank/Boogie F2 and used the coaches coming in to save Frank. There was no reason why they couldn't have had the live eviction and then let the coaches come back. Like Shane said, he got screwed out of an HOH week.

I'm not sure what Frank's motivation is - he doesn't seem to want the money, isn't particularly strategic, is only somewhat competitive, and his main concern in nominations is to "remember" who voted against him. Methinks he's in this for career purposes - getting on other reality shows, making business connections with people like Boogie, etc. If that's the case, he'll rather ride with Boogie to the end than betray him for the win.

Yes, Boogie's team may be intact because of the twist, but the house voted almost unanimously to save Frank yesterday. And that was due to Boogie.

Just caught up on what happened after I went to sleep last night. Not much, lol. Main thing to watch for is this: Jenn: "Danielle's back." Danielle: "Did you say I'm fat?" Jenn: "No, I said you're back." Here we go again!

Yes that struck me as odd too. The twist shouldn't have been revealed unit AFTER the eviction - screwed up a lot of HGs game and pretty much changed the game. Had they reset post eviction - new game for all

Shane didn't get screwed out of an HOH week. He still got the HOH room and the goodie basket, a week of safety, and the opportunity to further his game strategically. Sure, he risked making enemies of people he nominated who didn't go home, but by his own choice he nominated three people anyway, so it's only one more that might be mad at him. The motto of this show has been "expect the unexpected" since the beginning, and by its very nature, "Big Brother" tells you who's in charge. The players know that, and have no right to whine when things don't go their way.

They had to reveal the twist first because of the numbers. They needed to either evict someone or not, since they only had 3 evicted people available to bring back if the coaches decided to not enter the game.

Shane didn't get screwed per se- we don't know if they would have had the eviction or not because Willie being kicked out messed up the schedule. It's one of the unknowns.

I don't think we have had a chance to really see Frank play. If we did, I think he would be exactly what Janelle feared. A leader, a player who would go a long way. He a morning talk to feeders he has said that one reason he has been on the block so many times is his association with Boogie. He is guilty by association, exactly what Janelle wanted. And yet, he remained calm, personable and stayed in the house. Twist or not. I do think he has some strategy up his sleeve but Boogie is there to re-steer his ship. There are some things he has not told Boogie, or tells him later, because he is keeping them in his back pocket. I think Frank has a lot of potential in this or any season he would have been in. He says he tried out three times which would have had him trying out for Brits season. I can see him fitting into the Brigade and last season, he would have been a good leader to rally the newbies against the vets. Just my opinion. He's got personality

Wilson, glad you're here. Am I right on my post stating that they had to do the twist reveal before the eviction because of the numbers? You always keep track of the number of weeks/houseguests!
