True if a person can watch unedited footage as per Showtime, you can make a judgement.

however, the feeds are what makes this show.

I appreciate people who dont have feeds, but it is completely different for us who have them and try Really HARD to keep people updated.

I haven't gotten hooked on this season of BB either. I have the feeds and Showtime and just mute both of them most of the time if I even put them on at all. I think its cause I really don't have anyone that I really like, that I can root for. None of the HGs have intrigued me enough to want to get to know them more. I just don't care much one way or another about any of the HGs this year. I haven't canceled anything yet, still on the lookout for something to catch my attention and make me want to delve more into this season...sure hope it happens cause watching BB is a summer pasttime I usually enjoy.

Well, it has been revealed, on the feeds, that Daniele and dick tried out for BB6 (partners version) and made it to the finals or the semis but didn't get to be on the show. He also asked if she'd read his text message before coming into the house. The whole dick/daniele story rings fake. The editing is proving that cBS is making this into the dick/daniele show. Biased editing, awful characters, people going in knowing each other... makes for a poor BB season.

I do have to say that I don't have the live feeds and I don't have Showtime. I choose not to have that kind of language coming through my TV...I work with people that swear up a storm...every other word and I choose NOT to have it in my home.

"That said" I love the people with live feeds because they keep me updated with what is going on in the house, I don't have to rely on the TV show to do that. I tried that in BB3 when I first got hooked on BB...didn't find the boards till I think it was the last week.

Thanks livefeeders for keeping all of us updated! Keep up the good work! :-)

I'm glad some people are enjoying this season but I just can't stay interested in it. I think it's because I just don't like or care about any of them this year. Not only do I not have anyone to root for there is nobody that I love to hate like Boogie or Roddy. My housemate will have the show on and I don't even make it through the entire episode before I'm off doing something else. Neither of us enjoyed the Showtime version. And let met add my "that said" I do appreciate the livefeeders because I still check in here to see if it's gotten interesting yet. Good work you guys!

Wow, I'm so glad many of you share the same opinions that I do. I used to be obsessed with Big Brother, the world would stop when the show was on and I would even check the boards several times a day to see what was going on. Now I tape the show and watch when I have the time. I initally was very happy when the Showtime live broadcast was added until I met the new houseguests. Boring!! I hope the producers are reading the boards and listening to the comments so BB9 will be better than ever.

I'm still biding my time and hoping something interesting happens. I really don't care for/about any of the players in the house, which is actually kind of an interesting way to experience the game. I'm rooting for great game plays as opposed to particular players. Several of the cast seem to have a clue as to how to play the game. I would have preferred that Eric get to play his own game without America's Choice interference, because I think he actually probably had an entire script in his head of how he'd play this game. Having said that, though, I'm also enjoying how he maneuvers his way through our tasks with energy, humor and without being caught.

I could still go either way with this Season. I'll either totally lose interest in the next week or two or I'll really love it and watch every bit to the end. Not sure yet.

I don't see this years houseguests cussing anymore than most years. Remember Eddie from season 1.

I think all of us BB addicts get depressed and want to quit watching when someone we like is getting picked on but hang in there it will change it always does.

I have to agree with Toolhound - each year, especially since around Season 4, there has been a point toward the beginning where I have thought about quitting BB, but I always seem to hang in there. This year haven't watched live feeds because of a change in both my health and work situations, but haven't tried to keep current, especially through this site (my personal all-time favorite!). Gonna switch to Showtime today, though, and start watching some.

It always seems to get better as it goes along. Even with all of the maneuvering by CBS, I still seem to be unable to get beyond my voyeuristic self and let it all go

Okay, I shouldn't have put cussing and morals in the same sentence....lol. I just don't understand it and I am grateful for every ones opinion. I do still believe that we become incensed to it and kids hear is so much, they think that is the way you are supposed to talk. Enough said on my part.

I'm still looking for something that I can sink my teeth into. I stay so behind on the things that I should be doing, that I feel guilty wasting my time on the live feeds when it is so boring. Maybe BB should provide them with more activities. Didn't they use to do that? They had luxury challenges, didn't they? Or was that Survivor? Come on BB, give us something of substance, PLEASE!

Saying that Howie was normal does sound funny. You're right, he was far from normal but entertaining none the less.

I also thought on past seasons, it was fun to see how the HOH room was decorated definitely for each person. I guess they are cutting the budget. Changing the pictures and throwing in a basket of goodies is cheap. Do you think they even change the comforter and pillow cases. I wouldn't want someone else's slobber on my pillow.

I must get to work!!!!!!

PS, Eddie was a potty mouth too, I do remember that.

Actually, last season's "all stars" ruined BB for me.

My passion has also cooled. I was glued during BB1, BB2, and BB3.

I don't think the producers have faith in this game. It's been since 2002 (BB3) that they cast a house full of strangers. And I agree with Costacat--All-Stars was a bad idea that came out negatively.

I used to pay close attention to the feeds. Now I have them on, but don't really pay much heed. And I fall asleep when Showtime starts.

BB Allstars was horrible to me. Just a waste.

And BB6 was highly entertaining because there were two sides from the beginning and they were after each other.

I'm not sure what it is about this season that has me so blah about the whole thing. I have the live feeds and showtime and half the time I find myself getting bored because it's either Nick/Dani or Dick or Amber crying. SSDD!

It has been awhile since we have had a "normal" BB season - All Stars we knew everyone from the start, and S6 was just odd with the whole house splitting and just staying that way the whole time. It is not since S5 that we have seen the house align and realign, etc.

This season I do not have any strong favorites, which in a way makes it nice because I do not get too upset about what is happening. Dick is vulgar but most of the time the worst of what he is saying is not said in front of the target, so he is really only hurting himself.

I like Dick, because he's different and stirs things up. I like Jessica because she's cute and, I think, playing a really smart game. Most of the others? They could walk out and I probably wouldn't even notice they were gone!

All stars really left me with a bad feeling about the show especially Mike Boogie winning it all was a major buzz-kill for me.

It's taking a while for me to find anything likeable about this cast although I am fond of Dick and also strangely enjoy Jen.

I won't stop watching tho because it usually gets better as they weed out the weak players. I'm sure I will learn to appreciate some of the other characters in the house before the whole mess is over.

For now it's kinda nice to not really care about anyone in particular since it doesn't bother me to see someone get evicted. But bad as the house is at this point it would be really dull, in my opinion, if Dick or Jen got the boot. They are the most interesting characters in there so far, Dick because he's so raw and Jen because she's so obtuse.

BTW, "normal" to me would be a bunch of HGs who were NOT recruited. Of course, I have to wonder how many people really "apply" for this show any more. D'ya suppose the reason they have to recruit is the applicant pickin's are so slim?

Honestly, though, spending the summer cooped up in a house with a bunch of strangers isn't the way I'd wanna spend my summer. And the prize money ain't all that much. Gimme $5 million and I'd reconsider my application! :-)

exactly ... how many 'normal' people would be able to take off from their jobs for 3 months? and the slim chance at $500,000 when after that the price money drops like a rock ... is that worth quitting my job?

not that I'd go on at all. I value my privacy and my own bathroom.

I'm not into BB8 much this season. I haven't really analyzed it, but after reading this thread I did.

*While I liked some of All-Stars, the endgame was, as Glasgurl said, a buzzkill. It's human nature to want to "root" for a fav, and my favs never win. Having Boogie win last season was the ultimate insult to my rooting pleasure.

*What's worse is that this season, I don't even have a fav. So far no one has caught my attention or interest enough that I want to root for them.

LOL Lexie! I think you meant you couldn't make it through a whole summer WITHOUT kitties?

And although you may have Costacat there, having some real felines around surely would make the summer more pleasant!!!!

Actually, I miss critters this year. Nothing. No fish. No lizards. No pugs. Nothing. Bor-ring!
