I more or less agree with Lance on this one. Some people complain that they want more ordinary people on the show. Then others complain that there is no "beef" – that the guys this year don't look good enough. Some people want older contestants. However, most of the older contestants that have been on the show have been the most disliked by both the other HGs and the viewers. Older men on the show are vilified if they attempt to compete in challenges that involve physical contact (e.g. Dick not touching) or even look sideways at the women (Gerry) and are laughed at for their physical appearance. Viewers say they want certain things but then they don't seem happy when they get what they ask for?

I have to say it's the who keep me watching, not the good guys. I tend to lose interest after the chief jerk rolls down the stairs in a cloud of dust and tumbling luggage and hears the door slam behind him/her with nothing to look forward to but a wooden interview with one very angular hominid and kiss-my-ass videos from his/her former housemates. /shallow

Gotta agree with GAL. I have no interest in watching Barbie and Ken go to summer camp.

But Jimmer... maybe if they cast people who didn't suddenly decide they couldn't deal with an older person touching them (and bet ME that that doesn't cause issues on the outside), then I'd be happy. If they didn't act the part (an old geezer), then I'd be happy. Although, WRT Gerry, I don't think he had a chance. The HGs decided at the outset that he was "disgusting" and nothing he could've done would've reversed their opinions. And that season, again, it was casting. They cast people who were like dogs with a bone... once they got an idea in their collective heads, nothing could shake it free and they worried at it and worried at it and let it fester into a disgustingly oozing sore. FWIW, also, I've never been into the hunky guys. Yeah, some of 'em are nice to look at. And so are some of the girls. But casting all people who all look 20 something (except for the old lady and the guy with the tats) is just bor-ring. Ah Ha! The demons of Big Brother? Are you ready? BIG BROTHER!!!!!!!!! Bwahahahaha!

I can guarantee that I'd be a demon. Even if i found a way to signal to you guys that I was KSWheels at TVCH, you'd still hate me by the end of the summer.

okay, that was obviously a slight against me who started the Beef thread. We KNOW they arent regular people in this cast....so why all but one attractive woman and only one attractive and GAY guy?? when the majority online are women? that was my point. but If I had my choice I'd prefer all gerrys Kents curtis and sheryl krista karens. real people means that we get real people, however with real people comes human nature....like gerry eyeballing Lisa's Thonged butt. It just happens. We werent vilifying him, as part of gameplay They were.

Because their target demo is NOT all the women who are online.

Sunshyne - Was my Barbie and Ken comment the one you thought was directed at you? Trust me, it wasn't. In fact, the "Summer camp" part was the most important part. I don't care what the houseguests look like. In fact, if the girls are hot, it makes it easier to watch. But...My point was...I don't want to watch people have a good experience and get along and make friends. It makes for boring damn TV and live feeds.

LOL - It wasn't meant as a slight against you Sunshyne. I didn't remember who started the beef thread. Anyway, the point is that some people would prefer to watch what they consider to be good looking people play the game. I don't think that is a terrible thing. The problem is that everyone's definition of good looking and entertaining is somewhat different. For example, like many, I thought that Dr. Will was both good looking and entertaining. However, there are also many people who felt he was neither good looking nor entertaining.

I thought Dr. Will was both good looking and entertaining. I also enjoyed watching him roll down the stairs. I'm just sorry I didn't have that same pleasure with Mike Malin. Really sorry. It ruined an otherwise enjoyable season for me.

i thought will was okay looking BB2, thought he was bloated looking and weird BB7. Entertaining yes, fun to watch...nope. Too much of the same stuff to me.

I think there are enough interesting and right from the start attractive to watch people in the world for Big Brother not to have to hand pick every houseguest. I know they have to make the show interesting to the viewers but can they do it without putting one of Boogie's friends in there? It sort of feels like nepatism of a sort. Whatever, I'll get more enjoyment from reading all your posts than watching the actual show. You guys are my entertainment, so take a bow!
