Even after a couple more weeks the BB6 will still be there...4 strong and it will still be B O R I N G.

I've not watched one episode. As soon as I learned they were rehashing old HGs, I had no interest. An "all-star" season does not require any casting calls. It's a cheap/lazy way of having a show without putting any effort into finding HGs. The producers have all year to plan for BB and what you're seeing is the best they can come up with! LOL. The best BB was Season 1 with the chickens and Karen, Britney, Josh and others. It was low budget but I enjoyed it A LOT. It was very real. Endemol produced that. Since Arnold Shapiro Productions took over BB it hasn't been the same.

I find that the TV show really misses out on the interesting stuff like the double dealing and flipflopping. Instead they edit in stupid time fillers like Howie/George Jedi routine and lots of slowmotion? Girls in bikini shots.

After watching "Chicken George" on the live show on Thursday, I've completely lost all respect for him (not that I had much). And for this season. I think more than a few of them are there to increase their 15 mins. of fame, or to pull that get rich quick thing (Diane's wailing about needing the money). So I dunno about the "public" but I am bored. Absolutely no interest in the live feeds, reading the LFPs, or spending half the day trying to catch up as in years past.

I have also noticed a lot of TVCH posters missing this season.

I love the All Stars idea (I miss them when they are gone....well, some of them), but I agree that they aren't doing a great job editing the show this year. It doesn't seem to be by the same people who have done it in the past couple of years. I think they chose some of the more entertaining people from the past(definitely not best players and it cracks me up that some of them think they are)...yet they are doing nothing to showcase those personalities. I keep hoping they improve....but I am not overly optimistic. But I am sure I will watch to the end!

I am NOT bored...I like this season (ducks head to avoid thrown objects) I really am enjoying the Sovs FINALLY having the upper hand for a while...and I worry about all of their enemies ganging up on them...just like I do every year with my favorites.... Maybe I am easier to please....but I am enjoying this year immensely and eagerly await the "new twists".....

I've been excited about All-Stars since it was announced. I'm enjoying seeing good players from different seasons playing together and trying to figure out who's allied with who.

Iam also very excited about All Stars. Because of having to work so many hours at a place that doesnt have a computer, Ive been just watching the show more, without any feeds or any chats, and frankly, watching the show more fun. DONT get me wrong, I love my TVCH, but not knowing what is going to happen is enjoyable.

I'm just not enjoying it that much. A great deal of the fun, for me, is watching people adapt to the house and trying to get to know who to trust and all that. This year, they all know each other, and there are no surprises about the way they're interacting. They really need to ramp up the BB theme--changing rules every week, and causing tension by making them compete for prizes or whatever. For the first time, I really don't care who wins. I agree that the editing is really bad, too.

Im not enjoying it much either this season. It seems a bit rigged, to many people hang out together outside of the house. And this Mike and Will coming in the house together is a total set up. *Tired* of them all this year

I've been watching since season one. I am disappointed in this season because I realized that I already "know" these people. I don't like all the rehashing of past seasons. Part of the excitement for me was getting to know the charaters (houseguests) and assigning them their roles...ie. evil one, smart one, funny one. Nothing to do this year. I also find it odd that everyone is in the same place as they were when they got out of their season. Understandable for season sixers, at least it has only been a year but come on, Mike Boogie is still as lame as ever clinging to "chilltown". Diane is still moaning about her miserable life and Erika is still wall paper. I chalked Erika's personality during her season up to the fact that with Robert in the house, she was absolutely miserable. This season, no Robert and Erika is still ho-hum...Those are just a few reasons that this season has disappointed me. Have any of these people grown at all? I also expected more excitement for an "all-star" season. More exciting HOH competitions and veto comps. It has basically been a rehash of seasons past.

Just thought I'd pop in to see if anything is happening here and see there's not. I tried to watch it a couple of times, but I think there are too many HGs from season 6 so it's like watching last year all over again. Can't stand Howie and Janelle so I don't care anything about it this year.

I really thought that with an all star game they would have more challenges, more action, more to keep us entertained but, alas, its pretty boring this year.

It would have been a little more interesting if they put in 2 people from each season. That would put everyone on equal footing. Pre-show alliances, and already knowing the players is what makes this season boring for me.

I don't know about the TV ratings compared to previous years, but as for me, I've missed two shows in a row - unheard of in prior seasons! I don't get the feeds, but was usually reading LFPs every night to see what really happened versus what they aired on TV - this year I might check the LFPs 3 times a week. Can't put my finger on why this season is different, I think it's a combination of things, but I'm not riveted like I was in past seasons.

Add my name to the list of bored viewers. Last night I even channel jumped to see if I could get interested in something else. I hate this All Star game like a lot of others. The only difference from their own shows is that they are not nearly as interesting or good. There isn't a lot of "gotta win" attitude here.

I actually cut the tv off halfway through last Sunday's show, and only halfway listened to last night's show. It feels kind of like going back to the same summer camp expecting to have the same great time, but it's not the same and you're so disappointed you just want to go home LOL.

<-- has turned on the live feeds twice in the past week. For about 15 minutes. I'm actually watching more real tv and the LF are too distracting.

I am very much enjoying BBAS. It's interesting to see how players that all know each others' strategies and personalities will change it up. And this season seems, to me, to be all about stratagy. They don't have to spend time getting to know each other or learning to live together. Will's manipulations are a prime example.. he has to work much harder this year because everyone knows what he is like. For the life of me, though, I can't figure out why they want to keep him in the house. Maybe they think he will be the 'bad guy' and end up last loser. I love Will and Boogie's phone calls to each other. I love how Howie acts out (loving Will) to confuse everyone. Remember last season when he lit into (April?) or someone just to mix it up. I wish Ivette had been on this show and the cooking show woman who lost to Will (I forget her name, even though it was just listed in a thread I read five minutes ago). They would have made things more interesting... they were so confident and nasty. It's all back stabbing strategies this season for sure and I'm loving it.

I, too am enjoying the HECK out of BB7!! This is a different type of game because of the circumstances....but a great time nonetheless.... Some people do not like change...and some people are "into" that sort of thing. I LOVE the game being a little different, and being able to see a lot of my favorites again has been a real treat!

Arnold Shapiro just did an interview and said the show "continues to have high ratings". Personally, I think it's time for him to stop blowing smoke and turn the show over to Mark Burnett. His excuse this year is that we voted for those people to go in, especially season 6. If we don't like it, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
