Last year, many of us looked forward to the Diary Room antics of Will and Boogie. The telephone calls were hilarious. In season 3, Danielle let us in on her real thoughts behind her actions and gave us a count down week by week on how many more house guests she needed to get evicted.

Those are the two big Diary Room stories that stand out for me. Seems this year the Diary Room has become a place for BB to advance their story, explain the comps, and reveal the AP poll results.

It has become boring and useless. Nothing new is revealed, we do not find out any truths, and no one this year is funny.

What do YOU think about the Diary Room today and what are your favorite Diary Room sessions from seasons past?

Yeah, Boberg, exactly so!!

I remember another thread talking about this but disappeared maybe.

I don't understand why we can't have more input to make the producers keep the DR as it was originally designed for.

Don't they read our comments?? Don't they know that we are getting fed up with their manipulations??

I'm losing patience with this show...

I think the reason we haven't seen much in the way of DR is because of the AP. BB wants control of the situation and showing the real DR actions/antics could sway America away from the direction BB prefers we take. JMHO

There is no reason for us to get any more information into the DR conversations.

The point of the producers this year is to give us the Donato Family show. The closest we have gotten to any real reaction is the DR are the myriad of times we have seen Dick play his "I-love-my-daughter-and-will-do-anything-for-her" emotion manipulation game in there.

Why do we need to learn anything about anyone's strategy or thoughts when they are meaningless to the purpose of this year's BB?

I posted about this exact same thing somewhere around week 3 or 4. I always felt like seeing what the houseguests were really thinking, and then watching how they acted, to be the best part of the show! It's just another flare going up that tells me that the show is far, far more manipulated by the producers now, and for me that sucks!

How can it be manipulated in favor of D/D when Jessica has never even been on the block and it looks like she is scheduled to win? If there's any manipulation going on, it sure involves Jessica. IMO

No Ore, I am just wondering about Jess. It's not her great game playing skills or Dick's behavior, it has to be something involving BB directly. imo

Danzdol - Thanks for the reminder. Will and Boogie were not my favorites, but their Diary Room antics were too funny!

Danielle was the queen of the diary room during her season. She was brutal in there, and letting the evicted houseguests see the tapes prior to voting is the single reason she didn't win. Thanks to Dani we now have sequester!

Ambi, Dick was going home when he was up against Dustin, then Dick offered Eric a deal, which only favored Dick and Dani really, he told jess, they weren't in favor of it, Eric gets called into Dr, when he comes out he goes and talks with Dani, then he goes and tells Jess they should take the deal. It was not a good deal for them, they had the numbers and gave them up. That is why I think BB is controlling the game in favor of D/D

I asked a question on this some where around here. I find it odd that they only go in there alone. Is that a new rule?

I only watched BB1 & 2, and groups used to go in together all the time.

One of my favorite BB DR moments was Will from Season 2. They had some activity where they had to construct dolls. He got a little carried away and made a parody of Nicole. It was quite anatomically correct.

He went in the diary room and refused to leave until they gave him a new doll. It was so funny because he seemed genuinely frightened by the thought of Nicole seeing that doll! LOL

I think many of the house guests are cautious about giving the DR to much info regarding their strategy because they know that the DR will tip off other players before thay can make their move.

Excellent point Caprica. Seems this year the DR is working overtime manipulating events.

Well, if BB manipulation has gotten THAT bad that even the HG's won't be honest in the DR because they don't trust BB to not spill the beans on them, then we know BB is far too involved.

You can thank Danielle of BB3 for that. I'm still glad she lost.

I agree Caprica, if I were in there (LOL) I would never tell the DR what my true intentions were. They definitely spill to other HGs with their questions. .... and yes What, I think that BB has become far too involved.

I think Dustin handled that all by himself.
