My interest first waned in the beginning when they were editing james like a nice person while on the live feeds we could see and hear him bad mouthing his sov alliance and working on plans against them beginning from week one. Once I realized how unrealistic the editing for the show was going to be, it went downhill from there for me. I've missed alot of episodes and felt like I hadn't missed much of anything - it should be just the opposite. My interest in the live feeds waned because I got tired of the whining and the ugliness. I ended them over a month ago and got over it quickly. CT making it to the end definitely didn't help considering most of us didn't want Boogie there at all. I'll most likely tune in for the finale but only once they've reached the part of actually voting. I really don't want to hear from the bitter Marcellus or how james once again was thrown under the bus or Dani's take on the truth, etc. Heck ~ I think my interest waned when I realized we should never see any reality person more then once on tv, period, no matter how much we liked them the first time.

I lost interest pretty much from the beginning. It's really boring when alliances are already formed such as Chilltown and Sov. 4 and everyone has a pretty good idea how the other players work. What I want next season: No more gimmicks such as X-Factor and Project DNA. Just get us back to basics with COMPLETE strangers living in a house together and playing the game. Season 2 and 3 were the best because of this. Edited to add that a BB All-Stars could have been a success if they'd done it right. Put enemies from previous season in there like Roddy and Danielle, Will and Nicole, and as much as I don't care to see her on TV again Maggie and Kayser. Conflict CBS, conflict!

I'm liking that the ending is speeded up with F3 comp beginning this Tuesday and I'm guessing F2 this Thursday. The last month always seemed to drag before. The season highlight was the night the "ghosts" were behind the windows -- WOW that was fun! But I've waited patiently and no more hilarity has ensued. I still want my money back from America's Choice and feel a class-action suit on behalf of BB fans should be brought on how disappointing the Coup twist was. Alas, the whispering completely ended the fun for me. That these two delight & charming people continue to whisper not only in front of their housemates but US frosts me. W & J are the only interesting people in the house and we're completely excluded from their convos. Truly, though, when it became blatently apparent that Will is playing Janie 100% is when I began to have a sick feeling. I don't want to watch this anymore.

Blair & Caro, I really agree with both of your posts. Well, except the highlight for me was not the ghosts, but I agree that I kept waiting for more fun. The whispering really does suck big time and is kind of a rip off. That should be not allowed. What is the point of the microphones then?

Don't they usually do something really cool for the HG's when their numbers get this low? It was usually around F5 or F4 when the'd take someone from the house for an excursion. Curtis went to the Emmy's, Jun went to the VMA's, Amy and Jason went sailing, Bunky and Will took a helicopter ride, and Janelle went to that Charlie Sheen show. Didn't the All-Stars even rate a trip to the corner store? Was Neil Patrick Harris their big treat? The visits from other former contestants were fun to watch, but aside from that there hasn't been as much excitement. I kind of expected them to pull out all the stops this season, but they haven't been as imaginative as they used to be with the competitions and the rewards.

I lost interest as soon as I heard it was "all stars". And then even more when I heard the public would be choosing a large percentage of those entering the house. A true all stars would have "stars" (not just the most controversial, such as Jase or Mike Boogie). I've not followed most of this season, haven't watched a single live feed or read a single LFP. I'll periodically check the threads here to see who won what comp before a show airs. And if I miss a show? Oh well... Seriously, not interested this season at all. I'm not sure if I still had a bad taste in my mouth from last season, or if most of these "all stars" just didn't excite me (which is true). I'm not sure if next season, if there is one, will be any different. I think I just may be over BB.

For the first time in seven years I have lost interest before the show ended. I became lackadaisical about it two weeks ago and can barely stand to watch the feeds at this point. I've paid for them so I still have them but other them downloading my free music I am not even interested in Real Play. I feel like these "allstars" are lacking in intelligence. They have played even more foolishly then they did in their original seasons. I feel like people like Janell and Erika are making women all over the world yell "Wake Up & Smell the Testosterone". Will and Mike are playing and playing hard. They regularly make fools of these women and I despise them for it. Of course they gals are letting it happen. Janelle has played hard at competitions but her strategy is infantile. Erika has know strategy but at least she admits it. It has become a disappointment. I too hope to enjoy a new season with new people. People who we have to get to know and have no preconceived ideas about what they know or how they will play. I think it makes for a more interesting season when we do not know what to expect. I also hope that BB keeps trowing in good twists (new ones) as they have this year. I am an enormous fan of the show and the concept behind the show. I've just had enough of Janelle and Will to last a life time.

I lost interest a couple of seasons ago so it's just been habit that I continue to watch. I was so glad Dani got another shot though and that was the only thing holding my interest for this season. I did enjoy seeing Marvin again.

I almost watched it because Will was in the house this year, but then when I saw how many from S6 came back that made me not want to watch at all. I haven't watched any of the shows. I can't stand Janelle don't get the love fest about her. And Boogie and Erika aren't much better. I come here a few times a week to check up to see what's going on but that's it. I hope Will wins the again.

I lost interest when Dani left. Tired of Janelle and tired of the way they're treating Erika.

I can't stand Janelle don't get the love fest about her. I don't get the lovefest either, Zummat. Happily, it's almost all over!! I am looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. I just wish somehow, someway, Will will win the next HOH. But no way is he gonna let that happen. So then my next choice is for Janelle to win and take Boogie. Since that is not gonna happen, I will have to hope for my third choice, which is for Boogie to win HOH and we can finally say goodbye to Janelle.

I lost interest after last Thursday when Dani and George left. Unfortunately, Mom hasn't and keeps calling me and asking me what's been happening. So I guess I'm stuck with keeping up for Mom since she doesn't have a computer.

I never really hooked into this season as strongly as I have hooked into past seasons. I really missed having strangers to get to know. So I guess you could say I lost interest (or at least, realized I wasn't going to be as nuts about this season as I have been about past seasons) when I saw the first few hours of the feeds and realized the players had little new to offer me, and that they were just going to talk about Production and past seasons all summer.

I've not lost interest, but after reading the feeds today I am about to slip into a coma! They really need to liven these people up, aren't they there for OUR entertainment value? lol

The way the competition is set-up kind of sucks the fun out of the last two weeks. There are so few people and the ones that are left are worn out and stressed. I think BB could improve the last weeks of the show simply by offering better prizes for second, third and even fourth place. That way at least these people could partially relax and have fun. Or have some competitions for additional prizes. Anything! I really enjoy BB and I've enjoyed this season. The only season that I truly didn't enjoy much at all was Season 4.

I lost interest at final four...I don't even watch the live feeds anymore...they are so boring. Much better when Dani, CG, Howie, Marci, and James were there...at least there was something interesting happening on one of the feeds

This is the first year I haven't watched the live feeds AT ALL. I paid for 3 months so it's available but there has been nothing worth watching. In past seasons, I'd get up in the middle of the night if I knew something was going on. Heck, I've been skipping the shows on TV. BOOOORING this year.

Yeah at F4 it gets boring. I always thought they should give everyone at F4 a prize because F4 is hard to pass because of the veto negating HOH power.

Exactly. Or let them have some fun competing for prizes and give them and the live feed viewers something to do. It wouldn't take much - even a few thousand dollars would do it.

I have decided to cancel my feeds! I'm so tired of the Will show, I'm sick of the cruel showmance. They might as well hand the check to Will, let them split the money and be done with it!
