I'm not disappointed because I didn't expect to like this season anyway. I didn't expect anything other than Marcellas whining about Dani, Howie sexually harassing the female houseguests and going off if someone says something against it, the sovs thinking that they are owed something.

Bored? Yesssssssssss

It's BB6, just different people for Sov's to bad mouth,(their just getting started, I think they will be just as bad as they were last year).

It's a shame, because this could have been an interesting season, if they would have put some other players in...

Bored, bored, bored.

I find myself not being able to get into this season as much as the last couple of years. Maybe it's just because it seems like BB6 all over again. I mean, we still basically have the SOV vs. the rest of the house. I'm just finding myself disinterested, so I guess the answer is "yes, I'm bored with this season already". Maybe some excitement will change my interest level. But, if Allison goes out this week and Danielle follows close behind, that's two people out who add excitement.

Erica, Diane, Nakomis and Chicken George provide zero entertainment factor for me. James is only entertaining when he's on the block/competing. Howie and Janelle get annoying after a while. Kaysar is just Kaysar. That pretty much just leaves Will, Mike and Jase to bring any excitement whatsoever into the place.

BB needs to do something to shake things up or nobody's going to be around to see who's crowned all-star champ.

<<<<<I didn't expect this... I assumed hard game play would start immediately. I assumed when there were convos, 95% of it would be game talk. I assumed when not talking game-talk, there would be interesting conversation...

What I'm finding is this is moving very slow. HG's appear rather bored. The convos are less game play, but more about past seasons & past HG's. Over & over & over & over & over again.>>>>>

To be honest, I sorta expected this. I've been reading the Feeds threads, and noticed how the conversation continually goes to talk about past seasons. It didn't make it any better that BB allowed so many season 6 participants to be candidates. They basically did this last summer, so that's all they can talk about is their prior experience. Anyway, hopefully things are moving at a snails pace because the game is really just beginning. I'm sure as the weeks come, there will be more Season 7 game play, and less talk about previous seasons.

I have been bored from the first evening on.... there is a lot of chatter about absolutely nothing. I know they are bored, and if they have only the glories of the past BB's to talk about, how sad is that? Do any of them ever read a book, pick up a newspaper? There is the entire world to talk about.

I am enjoying this year as much if not more than most other years. I, too enjoy the "inside scoop" about fellow BB'ers and other stories about their life after the show...

If you recall...Janie was EXCEPTIONALLY quiet last year in the beginning...In fact, she ONLY talked to Kaysar, Howie and Michael in the beginning. It takes people time to warm up to each other....Look what trouble Danielle got in with her "mouth" and starting up "hardcore" as Janelle said.

The game will only get better and better...and I agree with what someone else said earlier....the UGLINESS and HATRED spewed forth by the so-called Frienship last year was unbearable to the point of stressful for me. I quit watching the feeds for five or six days at a time, because I couldn't watch people so obviously self-righteous in their hatred WIN the game. The ONLY satisfaction I had in the entire season, was when the Sov. 4 (in my opinion James and Sarah do not count) made any head-way or had a victory. When Janie made it to the Final three I was OK with the season. But I would MUCH rather watch REASONABLE people compete for FUN as well as the money.

This is where BB needs to step up and stir up. These hamsters know what to expect. They're used to the cameras. They're used to the mics. They're used to whining to BB. They're comfortable. Zzzz...

This group is too complacent and not imaginative. If they are bored, how about creating something to entertain each other. Silly as it was, there was the peanut butter bikini competition. How about a toss game, a talent show, ANYTHING. The passivity and reliance of on the producers to provide things to do besides eating, sleeping and chatting about trite things demonstrates to me this is group of people without any creativity.

the Houseguests are bored out of their skulls!!

usually everyone is getting to know each other the first few weeks. The boredom stage happens later.

These HGs look miserable. I think that It is horrible to watch. There have been very few REAL conversations.

There is lots of posturing and trying to see whom is aligned with WHOM from BEFORE THE SHOW STARTED (even though there is supposed to be no prev alliances re/ CBC)

There have been multiple Flame ON interruptions due to Constant SINGING and NAME dropping by Dr Will and Mike.

So much for BB producers promising us the best show ever

(( I still have hope that this will get better but I am already changing feeds each time Howie starts Dominating the convo with perverted oratory))

Don't forget, it is the weekend, so they seem to not have as much staff on, or anything planeed for them to do, or to get a lot of DR's going to help stir the pot.

Maybe tomorrow things will get a little more lively.

I do enjoy reading the LFP's <thank you to all who do them!> and getting a good insite from you all...it does make me sad that these verteran BB players are this bored. Someone needs to step it up...Will or Howie could really get things going, or Ali if she knows she is going out this week could mess with the rest.

Not giving up on it though :-)

This topic comes up at the beginning of every season and I usually just say the same: The game just started, they need an eviction or two for them to realize that the game is on and then really start playing. So far they've been there for over a week and little has happened. Wait for the their brains to switch gears.

You saw on last week's episode how quickly the game started, the nominations put a quick end to that. Everyone is afraid of being perceived as playing too hard. But they'll begin to play hard after this Thursday.

trouble is...we have a solid BB6 four person alliance in the house against everyone else who are trying desperately to jockey for position.

The ONLY way the house is going to get BB6 out is by banding together. Tis isnt happening and the people are bored of the chitchat.

Anyone here who watches bb each year Knows that things only get going for a couple fo days a week.
The night before the Vote to evict, the day that the Veto comp is held and the discussions afterwards. The morning of the Veto meeting to try to change the person's mind. The First night that the HOH wins and then just before the NOms.

This year is so different becaues almost everyone knows each other. Some are pretending not to be close but they still KNOW each other.

Howie is getting on my nerves really bad. If Danielle is allowed to stay for very long it will ruin the entire season for me. I do not want this to become the Dani show. Diane is a might creepy. I like Nak but she's getting a little creepy too. CGeo is really boring and Mike B is detestable. The rest are okay, but yes, it will be boring if these people stay.

You can't play hard at this point. Look what happened to Ali and Dani, when they tried to shake things up way too early in the game.

But some people are playing (e.g., Will, by being cool, playing with the others, ingratiating himself, etc.). You see, the bonding is part of the game too. This is the time when emotional connections are formed. Emotional ties (even shomances) are a huge part of the game, or else Big Brother could be a video game with players sitting at workstations and "evicting" other players.

When it's time suddenly to get into groups and make nomination decisions, how nice someone was during a ball game, how much fun it was for Janelle to teach Chicken George chess, how friendly Kaysar was to Will during supper (or Will to Kaysar) - all this will come into play when the decisions are made. It doesn't help for Marci to be talking strategy to everyone, then skulking in the corner.

I find this early part of Big Brother very interesting, this year particularly so, because the viewers know the houseguests too.

I'm with Therlin on this one. Boredom is a common complaint at this point in nearly every season. The game hasn't even started cooking yet! Patience... two and a half months left. There will be plenty of backstabbing.

This game will not go quietly. There is too much pride at stake.

I was just reading the "funny quotes" thread... I don't remember that many funny lines in only a few days from any of the previous seasons...

I'm not bored...I don't find anything I've read so far as boring and am SO looking forward to this season.

Not bored but very disappointed in some of the stuff coming out of Marc's mouth re: Dani rant. A lot of what he said was totally uncalled for

I am bored, and completely disinterested. The BB6 alliance has everyone else running scared and I am in the minority who has absolutely zero interest in the Janelle/Kaysar/Howie show. The only hope for me is that folks smarten up and hoist them on their own petards and vote their behinds right out the door as quickly as possible. I did not get the live feeds this year because I had not a whit of interest in listening to Howie's incessant sewer talk.

Big Brother has always been my summer's Guilty Pleasure. This year, I could almost care less. I had hopes it would be different, but I guess too many people felt the BB6 clique were "cheated" last year and voted them back in. Means those of us who didn't like them just have to endure until they're gone....again.

I think so many of the BB6 people were voted in because America has a short memory. How many of us remember more than one or two people from previous shows.

This is where I think BB made a mistake. There should have been a requirement of at least three people from every season, unless they just could not get anyone to come.

Why do you think Chicken George was the only one to get in from season one. Either the producers picked him because no one was voted in or his name was the only one anyone remembered from season one. Face it Chicken George as a person was rather forgettable, but his name is memorable.

There have been so many new viewers since season one and two, that never saw those seasons, that the people from the later seasons were almost assured of more slots.

There has always been a lot of talk about Dr. Will being the ultimate player so it was pretty obvious he would make it, and there is that name thing again, Mike Boogie. Who can forget a name like that?

Not bored, but a complete lack of interest. I haven't been listening to the live feeds, let alone reading 'em. I really and truly didn't care for much of the folks in the house the first time around, nor do I wanna spend my summer watching 'em again. So far, I'm not even sure I'll watch this summer. (Thankfully, I've got lots of good stuff happening in my life and most likely won't even have the time to spend listening to the HGs whine and moan and deceive and plot! :-))
