Even without the anti-climatic Donato ending, is there any reason why we have to sit here with 2 people in the house for five plus days? It makes no sense.

Why did they do this. They really need to tighten the ending up in the future. Look at the UK show, they have freaking 5 or 6 people in the house on the last night. Then they get rid of people in short order. I am not saying they need to do that, but in order to provide some actual content the last week they could have 5 people left going into the final week and get rid of people every other day until 2 are left.

There is no good reason to have two people in that house for this long.

Or just shorten the actual time that the F2 are left there...Have it in the same way, but have the finale show on Sunday or something...

I've been saying that for weeks, Marksman! I truly think it's a matter of keeping the HGs in captivity for the entire Neilson-ratings season...CBS wants to squeeze every last Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday episode out of the worker-monkey Houseguests so they drag it out for weeks. My opinion about it anyway. I truly think it's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" for the modern reality fan.

I think they do it this way to have the jury questions on Saturday. Then Sunday and Monday is time for editing the final show. Probably they let the Final 2 decompress on Friday. In the past they needed time to bring the jury home from Mexico, which isn't needed now.

I doubt they'll change the format. Except for maybe Season 1, the F2 have bored us to tears for days, until they're finally released. Even when it's both HG are people that you wanted to see there, they are boring.

They have to bring them from the jury house, questions and edit. From what I remember the last evicted HG never went to the jury house but was kept in a hotel room.

Been saying that for years!

Very few of the "final" people are all that entertaining..

Final three in BB1, yes, very intertaining!

Dani and Lisa, entertaining but also pretty painful and the rest of the years.. eh

Once Diane was out, no need to watch Drew and Cowboy. Once Jason was out, Dani and Lisa.. Once Robert wasn't there, Jun and Alison.. In each case we wondered if Drew would keep Diane, who kept him in and played a strong game, or take Cowboy.. Would Dani and Jason go to F2 or would it work out so no one had to go up with Jason? Would Ali actually take Jun and keep their alliance or take Robert? Would Yvette take Janie, or Maggie.. (at least at that F3, there were some funny moments, like Janie's animal interpretations.. And certainly it was painful to watch Erika and Boogie..

The finale after 9/11 was hard, knowing what they didn't know, watching Nicole notice that something was wrong.. no planes in the air. And then us knowing that Monica's cousin was probably in that tower when it fell and then finally when they told them. Nicole and Will was a more interesting F2 than most but they stayed in longer because of 9/11 and not being able to bring in guests right away. Too long every year.

i still think they could use this time to show some footage of what went on in the jury house. would be especially entertaining. And to make more money on it they could have a special one or two america's choices for who in the jury house should win something....

This year they could have stayed at the jury house, even Zach, since it is so close to the studio, but when Jameka arrived, Amber told her the last bed was in her room, so... maybe not.

And of course since the world has found the jury house, maybe they were relocated Saturday anyway.

Add one more person to the jury on the front end... ie Kail... have the jury question the final THREE separately before the final HOH contest... then the last person out... ie Zach... doesnt vote.

OR have the jury of six question the final three... then keep the final three in a bit longer... when ie Zach gets out he gets a vote, but presumably since he spent the most time with the actual final two he would not need a question period.

That way the final three would have to size each other up in the event they didnt get to final two. And you would have the ongoing tension of the final three in the house.

I don't mind watching Dick and Dani in F2 final days as much as I minded BB 3 with Danielle and Lisa. Those two made me mad. Amy should have won.

I would presume that the jury house has handlers that keep an eye and ear on what they can or cannot discuss with each other. Past HG's have said that they were brought from the JH to the lot and then saw the last evicted member.

I think that the online viewers are treated as poor country cousins and they don't care if we are bored. The networks are slow to change in this respect. Look at how CBS is propping up Katie Couric on million dollar crutches. Totally pointless, as I think most people get their news online or watch CNN these days.

They just plain don't want to change the format and have kick-ass Superpass viewing, like cams in the sequester house and so forth. They don't care if the last two weeks of internet viewing is boring because they still care more about the TV show and their advertising dollars.

I agree. It's silly every year, but these two are about as interesting as the periodic table. It's as bad as the last round of questioning, er, crapshoot that determines the most important HOH of the season.

Get a clue, BB. It's broken. Fix it.

Every year we say the same thing... it's boring in the house with only two left. There have been a few highlights (didn't Jun and Alison get drunk?), but most often it's almost like it's decompression time.

That said, I think the producers could shorten things up a bit. Zach was evicted last Thursday. Presumably, he went to the jury house then. They could've had the questioning on Friday, Saturday would've been spent getting everyone back to Studio City, and the finale could've been Sunday.

I was sorta hoping that these final two would be more fun. They had some moments last night, after Dani finally decided to talk to her dad again. But they've been spending most of the days sleeping.

Of course, I blame BB for that, too. With the ShowTime 9pm to midnight feed, BB encourages them to stay up late. So then BB lets them sleep late. <yawn> Bor-ring!

I think they should bring the jury back into the house for the final week. Bet it wouldn't be boring.

Bubba --I agree with that, now that would be an interesting week, the final 2 trying to explain their actions and begging for the votes.

I think the jury should be able to watch the live feeds. The first ones evicted don't know as much about what went on as the later ones do and I think this has an element of being a bit unfair.

Dustin was the first out (of the jurors) and he can't possibly know about the Donato's behavior (good or bad - take your pick) as Jameka and Zach do. Hearing about it from the later evictees is not the same as seeing it first hand.

Oh well, no one ever listens to me anyway.

They used to let the jurors listen to the DRs until the year that Danielle lost because she called everyone Satan.

But Costa, Roddy IS the devil!



The last week IS pointless, though. I realize they have a lot to prep for, but, honestly, they have all season, and countless PA's to do that.
This would have been a great question for AG.
Because this just isn't faaaaiiiirrr.

At all.

And I am not kidding, either.

At all.

I would love if NO HG's were removed from the house for the season. If they are eliminated from the game they get a half vote & can regain full HG status IF they win HOH. (That might slow some from playing UTR) I think it would make a really interesting season.
