Yawn... I thought TV shows were supposed to build to a climax at the end. This one has premature ejaculation.

Allietex, you echo my sentiments. I watch the show on Thursdays and catch up with the rest online.
The show is so predictable since Dustin left, and now I am just waiting for Jameka and Amber to go. Nobody is going to jump up and do something shocking or out of place. Dick and Danille have assured themselves berths to the end.

Love him or loathe him, the last word I'd expect to hear applied to Dick is "boring."

Allietex from above:

I think without Dick, there would have been much more intersting game play.

I completely agree that the problem this summer is the fear Dick instilled in everyone from the very beginning that they would become victims of his abuse if they did not behave as he wanted them to. And like abused children, they cowered and did as he told them to.

I think the game playing and planning would have flowed much more freely and been far more interesting throughout the summer without him as such a destructive force in the house.

Where is that thread about the funniest posts?!

This is the best I have read this summer, I think.

I have definately cut down on my live feed watching. I never really felt attached to any house guest from the very beginning. I tried but ...... Thought maybe I could pull for Dani. I thought she was the smartest player (Eric was smart too), strongest, most competitive. I gave her a lot of passes on her piss poor attitude. Living with a father you are not on good terms with can be taxing at any time but not being able to get away from him and be on camera, wow, impossible, so she got a lot of passes, but, she is just not really very pleasant. She annoits a few to be in her realm and that's it.
Anyway, I wish everyday was an eviction, food comp, nomination, pov, and repeat. They need to accelerate the process now or let us in on more at the jury house. The rest is all about the comps. No more strategy left.

When are the producers going to learn that they really need to do something to keep some interest in the second half of the BB season? It is much too slow with so few people in the house, and the viewers are now as bored as the House Guests. In the last week, I haven't watched the live feeds, and I think I looked at Showtime Too for about 20 minutes. There are not enough people to keep us awake.

My suggestion: Start with 21 House Guests. Evict one per week until they are down to 14. Then evict two per week -- on the Sunday and Thursday shows.

ITA Allie, TV, Cable, What, Mssas and all the rest of you. Dick's immature and dominating behavior gets old quick and it would have been a much better show without him. I often wonder what would have happened if Dustin had stayed and Dick got evicted that week. I don't care to turn on my feeds and watch some washed up guy burp, fart, cough, spit and argue with his daughter who mostly whines and pouts.

They will probably bring back Nick somehow, someway. You all just wait and see.

If Nick hadn't been just following Dani around like a little puppy dog, he could have easily become my favorite. I just never cared for the whole Dani/Nick storyline.

It would be about the time that I cancel the feeds that something exciting would start to happen, so I am hanging in there...lol.

I have never understood the Nick love. All he ever did was sit around and look pretty and flirt with Dani.

Man, did he ever waste an opportunity, all over a girl who in the long run will care nothing about him.

How many hundreds if not thousands of people got passed over for this doofus?

I never understood the Nick love either. I think he was kind of stalkerish. And Eric and the rest of the house guests rag on Jen for being there for the experience and wasting a spot. What the heck was Nick there for ? The girls ? He wasted a spot as well. And all the "enemies" were a wasted spot for those that sent in tapes.

I think most of these House Guest don't think before they open their mouths. Just a guess on my part of course.

ITA with this statement.

In re the Nick person: I never could stand him either. I think that Dani's pining over the loss of Nick is just her way of getting more air-time. Lose the bandana already, Dani, it ain't cute!

I thought Dani's pining over Nick was just silly. I really believe her relationship with him in the first place was an excuse to stay as far away from her father as she could.

It also occurs to me that one reason the show may be boring is because there is soooooo much down time........... always a problem no matter what season...........

I wish I wasnt.

Really dislike the way the TV show is being done this year. Remember other years the HG would be shown saying something to their alliance like "I've never ever said anything bad about you"

and then the video would go to grey and we'd see that person just ragging and badmouthing LOL

I dont see that 'we gotcha!' video style this season.

it used to crack me right up.

Only the show a bit and mostly on fast forward.. but I still like coming here once in a while although there doesn't seem to be anymore to talk about since nothing interesting is happening. Jessica's boring moves may cost her in the end.

I'm no longer watching. This season killed bb for me.It's not entirely a bad thing either. It was long over due. When my husband wouldn't watch I knew it was over!

I took my cable box back to cancel showtime
I canceled real player
I pulled the plug on two tivo season passes.

The watchers are those who are entertained by (and defend) the sorry likes of dick and danielle. It's incomprehensible that people enjoy watching the epitome of malevolence and bullying of those two. Maybe that's why we are a nation divided! I'm sure my opinion will be beaten down for not agreeing with the dick fans. That's getting old as well.

It's good to hear that I'm not the only one nauseous from this season, though.

I'm still watching everything I can. I am not going anywhere just finished watching the show tonight as a matter of fact. I can't stand the fact that I have to wait another 9 months to see it again after this season ends. Big Brother was is and always will be the best.

ITA Pinniethewooh!

I'm glad to see most that have come to this thread feel the same as I do.

With the help of the DR and Producers we all pretty much know who is going to win this season. As Amber said, it's been predetermined, they are all just going through the motions.

It's so boring. The POV challenge just went on forever. Snore. I left the room.

Agree, there should be more "gotcha" moments. The praying shtick has gotten old.

Oh Pinnie - I totally agree too. I just can never get behind people like Dick & Dani. No way. No how!
