I truly believe they have. There are only a few times I have enjoyed this season and I feel like this cast over any before have really brought Big Brother to a new low. I will watch till the end to see what happens but I will think twice about watching an future Big Brother shows. Knowing how involved the Diary Room is on the outcome of everything, just doesn't seem the same to me. There are a lot of things that have happened this season that makes me think this is all a set up and a normal playing person would never have a chance. It's Produced plain and simple.

I couldn't agree more Mssas. I will no longer subscribe to the feeds and plan to cancel ShowTime late Thursday evening. The producers are welcome to script the program as they see fit and we can choose to watch or not.

I still haven't watched my tape of last night and do not feel I am missing a thing. I do not know if I will watch any more this season or not...can't say. I have only stuck with it this long for the voting...I can say that by America making things hard on Eric by FORCING him to try to turn the house around is going to get him evicted and my fun will end anyways so what is the point?

I agree that BB has sunk to a new low this season. There is nobody in the house that I really care to see win. I don't see Dani and Dick having any more of an unfair advantage than Will and Mike did. Everyone loved Will but you have to admit that him and Mike had an advantage.

No this season has been great. A little rigging for entertainment value is NOT a bad thing.

Can we say "Jumped the Shark" - I'm bored with it. Casting couldn't have done worse than they did this year. Of course, that's just my personal opinion.

I have enjoyed this season alot more than others and will faithfully continue to watch and see how it all pans out. I agree with others who have posted several times in the last week saying if you're not happy with the show then don't watch! And in the ever appropriate words of Dick...'Period...end of story.'

I love this season. Maybe if your favorites are being voted out you would say it's bad but it is very exciting and I love the evictions and the stir they cause on the boards.

I love this season as well. I think it has been very interesting, even if it has been somewhat influenced by the DR (although not having the live feeds I haven't really witnessed this). I LOVED Dick and Daniele getting duped when they tried to evict Eric, and I think Dustin getting booted was one of BB's finest moments. This season has been far more interesting than All-Stars, and MUCH more interesting that Maggie's season (what was that, Season 6?) where the Nerd Herd picked off the Sov 6 one by one until the end of the game. So I'm lovin' it!

True Carmen. Don't remind me of Maggie and Boogie winning. Yuck! It's finally a great season.

Nycsoho...I haven't really had a favorite. I just can't stomach the mouths on some of them any more. BB/CBS putting the organ music was way beyond good taste in my opinion...I fell asleep within the first few minutes of BB last night and I still haven't watched the tape I made and from what I have read this afternoon, I don't think I will be racing to see it either. I have only stayed around this long because the voting to me is fun...but America seems determined to muck that up so what's the point?

I am enjoying this season very much. The lowest low to me was in All-Stars and how Boogie treated Erika. The second lowest point for me was Maggie winning Season 6. Compared to that stuff, this season is like Disney World to me. Fun, fun, fun.

I don't know if the show has sunk to a new low or not but this is the first season where I have turned off the tv within 10 minutes of the show starting and didn't feel like I missed anything. Maybe it's the whole notion of the show that has worn out its place on my viewing schedule

Lowest point for me was Maggie and her strangle hold on the entire house in #6

Me, too, Nycsoho... That is my least favorite season of BB. By FAR.

I didn't enjoy the year with the twins, nor the year with Holly and the horsemen. Blech. Or was that the same year? They tend to run together in my poor brain. Although I don't have the feeds, and have only caught a few eps here and there this year, by far its better IMHO. What I mean is less annoying.

I have always really enjoyed the basic premis of the BB show - but this year is a little too contrived. They have put ED in as a stand-in for the Howard Stern shock jock crowd.

Holly and the horsemen and the twins were all the same season, right? Season 5, I believe. I actually enjoyed that season as well, watching Drew play Diane like he did, and I really liked Nakomis. The five finger plan was absolutely brilliant. Or do I actually have two different seasons mixed up??? They do all run together sometimes! Holly was beyond annoying, but thankfully, she didn't last long....

Same year Mame, remember the look on Jase's face when the twins were revealed...LOL All Stars was the worst season, and this one is second worst. There just is no one to cheer for in this season. I have been a Jen fan since week 2, with her going, I don't care who wins or who is evicted. I have wondered if Grodner was trying to cast a Janelle with Dani and Jess...it didn't work, IMO. Final four of D/D/J/E will be a bore.

Holly had the same kind of voice that Jessica and Dani have. More exadurated but still the same voice pattern. I notice many young girls talk that way. Long drawn out A's and ending their sentances often with a question mark. Strange.

I'm with you, Mssas. BB needs to stop calling this a reality show and instead call it an unscripted production. The players are being directed/pressured to take certain actions that they would not otherwise, if they were left alone. As an unscripted production, they should divide up the money amongst all the players, and their pay pro-rated according to the number of days they are used as "actors" on the show. Bonuses of cash or prizes could be given for the competitions. HGs should understand from the beginning that BB is running the show and that BB makes no guarantees about everyone having an equal chance to win (because they don't). Like a soap opera, BB can decide to can an actor if he/she is not bringing in the viewers. In other words, tell it like it really is.
