The only reason I am "bored" with this show is that everyone is so measured in their actions. I voted for Diane to come back in because I wanted to see her go ballistic. I wanted fun DR from Dani, but everyone in the house knows that slow and steady wins the race and <<yawn>> I've started reading summaries instead of watching live feeds. But I must say, that I love Janelle and the thought of her getting evicted is a little bit exciting. I think she made a good choice for her, and that it sent ripples through the house. No matter what she had done, the first week S6 lost an HOH, she was the biggest target.

As I've said before this is my first year without the feeds and I've watched since BB1. I very nearly got the feeds Thur. night to watch the endurance challenge but it was over so quickly I'm glad I didn't. What a disappointment! It seems like most of them don't even WANT to win HOH. I'm bored already with all of them. I'll watch the shows and read the LFP but I'm just not that invested in it this year.

Wouldn't it be a shocker if all of a sudden, Janie and James are still on the block and we the viewers got to choose who got evicted???

Well, so far so bored for me. I've only watched one episode all the way through (the first) and no feeds this year - not yet anyway. I tend to get the feeds once something in the house grabs my interest - that was Michael's plight last year. Nothing yet this year has grabbed me but that doesn't mean it won't. My main method of keeping up this year is reading sites like this on the Internet. But overall, I would have preferred all new HGs.

Big Brother originated in the Netherlands in 1999. Any true BB fans should know that. UK BB1 was actually the 5th BB show in the world...US BB1 actually started 10 days before UK BB1. And Shapiro's production just sinks lower and lower with unimaginative and degrading competitions. Big Brother is supposed to be FUN....these HGs don't look like they are having much fun are they. It was a dumb idea to do All-Stars...I was against it from the start. And it is turning out worse than I imagined with bad execution all the way around. Don't write off James so fast, Twinkie...it still takes 5 of 7 votes to evict him.

These Hamsters are raising a big stink about the slop, the cots, the Solitary. Such whiners! If they had ever seen any other BB from any other country, they would know that privation is the name of the game. Our hamsters are coddled. Make things a little uncomfortable for them and they whine. As if it's a country club! The only person who hasn't complained is Chicken George. He remembers that during BB1, there was a limited supply of hot water. He's the only one who has come close to understanding how BB is meant to mess with the hamsters' heads.

Big Brother is supposed to be FUN....these HGs don't look like they are having much fun are they. there are plenty of other BBs who get the HGs to do degrading or redundant type activities. This is the second season that BB has done something harsh....BB1 and BB7. It is about time that there are some Seeming penalties in my opinion. The tv show is boring though. Not sure why anyone would want to buy feeds just from watching the lame show.

It isnt the people who bore me it is the tv show. I prefer to see more of the actual day by day events in the house and strategising and less cute segments and diary rooms that are nothing more than coached narration. AMEN Those stupid phone calls between Boogie and Will are one of the things I hate the most! You can just see the wheels turning in the producers head..."Come on Will/Boogie, time for the PHONE CALL". AMEN. AMEN. AMEN.

I hate the phone calls! These two are just sooo immature it's not funny. Two little boys who haven't grown up! As far as whether the show is boring - I have probably missed more than I have watched this year. I make sure I watch Thursday's show but haven't seen it since last Thursday. I even looked at the clock on Tuesday night at 8:10 and yet didn't jump up and turn the TV on. So for me, yes the show is boring this year. I'd much rather see new, fresh faces than the old ones.

I like the phone calls too- they're doing an amazing job of totally playing the rest of the house. I don't blame them for cracking up- I loved when Will just laughed when Boogie's key was pulled at the nomination ceremony. Plus I think they Diary Room helps them along with the phone calls.

I love the phone calls even though I never cared for Boogie or Will but they are funny. I really loved the one they showed after Will played Janie. I almost fell out my chair laughing at that.

Love the phone calls too! I always look forward to them now. One thing I wish they didn't do this year was move the Saturday show to Sunday. I miss the Saturday show. I wonder if that's part of the lower than expected ratings deal?

It feels like the week stops after the Saturday veto competition. I guess BB doesn't want to work on Sunday, even though it would make more sense.

I have to say that if I only watched the TV show, I would be bored to tears this year. There have been so many little moments in the live feeds that have either not been shown, or that have been edited to the point that the original intent is not clear on TV. I have immensely enjoyed the live feeds this year. My addiction is going strong, and I've enjoyed revisiting these hated/loved players from the past. But then I loved the Survivor AllStars too. I love the initial premise of the show, and I hope that next year we will have at least an even mix of regular people to go along with the Hollywood wannabes. But alas, I fear we'll have a house full of Holly/Jase/Erica types. Pretty people with no substance. As for this year, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. I will have to admit that I have no idea who is lying to whom at this point, but I don't care. Further, I don't even care who wins in the end, because they are all playing their little hearts out, with the exception of Erika and Marci. And even if one of them wins, I'll be okay with it, because if they can make it to the end and win with these guys, then they deserve it, coattailing or not.
