i watch cuz of the drama. the more vile the better. if it were happy flower kitty land i would never watch. i don't think i have ever boycotted a product. i don't know if i ever will. i certainly have never written to them about a show i don't enjoy. but i respect those who do. sometimes it makes a difference, sometimes it doesn't. at least a person tried, no matter the outcome.

I love watching also. I can't imagine why I would watch something that offended me enough to go to the mat over it..

rofl Bbnut I don't think I would watch happy flower kitty land. And I don't want to watch boring adults do their taxes or knit a blanket either. If I want boring, I'll tape my own life and watch it over again. ;)

If I ran the Zoo, I would do it differently, but I'm still enjoying the show. Plus what works one year tends to not work the next as people are aware of the strategy and quickly move to act against it. So I'm not sure we have much to fear from a Dick II next season. Someone who tries to act like Dick next year may be quickly demonized by the other HGs and eliminated. Success with this sort of strategy will likely be limited to this season. So no worries. We probably won't see it used successfully again.

This is a little scary - BB is the only reality TV that I watch - if the sponsors are boycotted, it probably won't effect the rest of this season but it could definitely jeopardize any possibility of a BB9 - That would be a shame because I look forward to summer because of BB and I know that most everyone on these boards would agree that they are BB addicts - Of course this is just my opinion but you can do what I do when I get annoyed by a TV show - change the channel :D

aweee you're sweet bbnut! i don't think boycotting will work. it might or might not. but for every sponsor who pulls out, next year there will be many to line up. this is prime time spot for advertisers. kfc goes, mc donalds will replace.

let's see, i don't use Verizon, drive a Hundai, drink Pepsi, or use anything by Apple. so, i guess i'm already boycotting them and didn't even know it! LOl seriously, i have no intention of boycotting anybody. i love Big Brother and i use a lot of the products those companies sell.

To be honest, I don't even watch the commercials. On Sunday and Tuesday, I dvr and ff thru the commercials. On Thursday, the live show, I watch live, but during commercials I come check this board to see what people think about the show and read the great great show spoilers.

My motto on tv shows, movies, music and the just about anything in the entertainment industry is that if I don't like it I don't watch it, listen to it, etc. But I'm not going to spoil other peoples' fun just because I'm not enjoying it. But, that is just my personal opinion and everyone certainly has the right to do whatever they think is appropriate (within the bounds of the law -- sorry had to throw that in there since we were getting so "legal" in the other thread...LOL).

Take away my Pepsi and my Dell and you would have another Dick with no cigarettes on your hands.

The ratings indicate that about 7 million people watch BB on TV (the 'sanitized' version!). Most of them do not have live feeds, and would not 'get' the reason for the boycott, unfortunately. The rest of the country that does not watch BB would continue to buy those sponsors products. It would be nice if we could change things by a boycott - I would love that, but I just don't think it's possible. We'd be better off boycotting CHINA, since they seem to be poisoning us with their products!
