Let's see how Zack and Eric react if Ed decides to go after Jessica? Cowards, all of them and yes these guys wouldn't do anything on the outside either. Real men don't behave this way. BB or not.

Just like the TV show that can be turned off, these people could walk out. Maybe their greed is worth the "abuse"

Well, I agree with Pixieduster.

Here is my problem with the show:

I really love the social experiment that the show started out to be. I've enjoyed the last 7 years as my summer escape.

The show has failed my expectations miserably this year, and it is not fun for me anymore. I feel like AG has destroyed my favorite show.

Telling people: 'well, turn it off if you don't like it' doesn't change the situation. I don't want to have to do that! It's unfortunate that they took a great idea, overproduced and interfered with it, and then cast some of the most unlikeable people they could find (IMO, of course).

There's this awesome TVCH website where I can come and vent my disappointment, along with others like Pixieduster, who feel the same.

Thanks TVCH.

And for those of you who still like the show, great for you, but stop telling people to 'turn it off' or "don't post about it".

I could express the same thing to you:

"If you don't like people posting about their disappointment, then stay away from threads that disappoint YOU."

I have never ever told anyone to not post. However, it just seems common sense to me that if something is so vile to you then why would you continue to watch?

i don't think anyone should turn it off or not post how disappointed they are.

i think a lot of people don't understand why, if a show bothers you so much, you continue to watch?

see, i am the opposite. i watch the show because i like this shit. makes me feel better about myself

Great post Rosem. I feel the same as you so much of the time. I really look forward to BB and this year started out as a disappointment. I thought okay, I'll be less involved but even so I am disturbed. I said earlier in another thread that maybe the first year had the right idea where they worked more cohesively to get luxuries and grocery money. WHen they had to make a grocery list together and take everyones needs into consideration. There is too much down time and while that doesn't really effect the TV show they air, it does effect the HG's.
Also, casting is horrible. They are all retreads. 3 have applied multiple times, one wants to pitch a reality show, Mike was on an earlier dating show. They should go back to pciking thme from bars or the mall.

Super posting, Rosem4243. I still have not watched my tape of Sunday's show...and at this point I do not know if I will watch the tape of tonights show. And yes, I will tape it on the off chance that I decide to watch it.

Thx, Streetsmart!

Shops, I was not singling out you or any particular poster here. Just the general statement of not understanding why people still watch. Maybe we're hoping it will get better somehow!

LOL - Zachsmom, I always enjoy your sense of humor and that last line just cracked me up.

See, this is why I don't want to turn it off - it's because I enjoy chatting with all of you!! If it wasn't for this board, I probably would turn off BB.

So it's all of y'all's fault!

LMAO @ Zachs... can I stalk you so I can laugh some more? Street, I have never said that Dick has not been wrong, however I think that in the case of Jen she in many cases does try and provoke that kind of behavior in him. However, that may be better left for the Jen/Dick fight thread.

Not trying to cause trouble, but the turning the channel works both ways. Pixie has every right to express her displeasure in what is happening to a show she likes.

Plenty of Dick's supporters were quite open about displaying their displeasure the week they thought Eric was being helped by BB.

None of us "own" the show, but we are all fans or we would not be here. When we do not like the way the show is going, all we can do is express our displeasure, or our support.

So to those who told her to change the channel or turn it off, you also have the right to change threads or turn off the computer.

But, see I am with Zachsmom... I am not complaining about the show. I watch it to see drama, just like Survivor in so many ways.

Streetsmart.....I don't think anyone thinks Dick is innocent.........Far from it.

However, in my case, I just don't give a fig. It takes all kinds to play this game. Dick is just a different type of person.

I admire Jen too! She takes it like a trooper and recognizes that this is just BS pouring from Dick's mouth.

I see people writing letters, etc. What do you expect BB to do? Follow a certain script that pleases you? In every day life, there are usually people you run into,you have to deal or leave. In BB you can't leave. They all know it going in the game. If people want to threaten to boycott advertisers, that is their right, but what would be the ideal cast? Everyone backstabbing and lying? Just curious.

Lainee and Rosem...I totally agree...

I have been off of the live feeds since LAST THURSDAY and I check here and at Jokers for information, just in case things were to get "better" and less tampered with....

No dice.....

I, too, have not watched Sundays's show, and probably won't wacth tonight....I agree that Allison Grodner's version of Big Brother is too "scripted" for me....she hasn't allowed the people to "play out" the scenarios on their own, and that ruins the show for me....

Some still like it, I know....but I am very disappointed this year, and I am a DIE HARD BB fan since its inception, but I think I am done.....

We've got to bombard the CBS website with complaints on their message boards because they show up on the home page of BB. Those highlitghts seem quite effective in showing the moods of viewers.

See I don't want to change the channel, so far I haven't disliked anything enough to do that. I was not happy with Eric's role in the game until he truly started playing for us and not us playing for him. Other than that I have totally enjoyed the insanity.

This isn't insanity. It's hard core abuse but unless you see ED in action on the feeds between shows you might think he is just a funny chatacter, I know I thought he was at one time but he's not.

Ahhh, Milosmom - 'what would be the ideal cast?'

Glad you asked!

How about choosing from the thousands of regular people who apply for this show year after year, but don't fit the young, thin, shallow wannabe profile.

How about if they took a cue from BBUK, there was a middle aged, overweight woman that was cast who was an absolute hoot!! She was confident, boisterous, funny, and had lived a LIFE. This person would NEVER be cast on the US version because she probably doesn't look good in a bikini! However, I'm sure she was very entertaining and had some real life experiences to talk about. These 20-somethings haven't even lived a life yet, so all they can talk about is each other, sex and farting.

I'm sad that I didn't get into the last BBUK show - I watched some of the celebrity version on You Tube and such, and it was GREAT!

I wish there was a way to get the live feed from the UK version. I think I'd prefer that, as they have kept the social experiment intact as I see it. The UK ppl. are kept busy, they have to work for grocery money, they don't waste time with stupid food competitions, and the HG are punished when they break the rules.

So, there you have it. My personal view of what would make the 'ideal' BB experience for MEEEEEEEEE!
