It will be lower. Trust me. The HGs are not the only ones after money. CBS likes it better than anyone and they will likely do the "if a little bit is good a whole lot is better" thing. So I fully expect next year will be a bloodbath, literally. I'm from a different generation than most of you guys, I think. When I was a young woman, we cheered for the good guys and hissed at the villains in the movies and guess what? It was fun! Good times! I'm sad to see that today's viewers are enamoured of the villains. I do think it makes a statement about where we are headed.

I really doubt that there will be a next year.

Having the feeds or BBAD compared to the CBS show is like watching a hot dog being made in the factory and buying a hotdog at the store. Geri, excellent analogy! I love it!

Jen is not loved by everyone. Her eating was very childish, imho.

Jen has MANY fans that are well-deserved....and as far as her detractors go....I am sure she can live without them just like she can without EDick <77>!

we cheered for the good guys and hissed at the villains in the movies and guess what? It was fun! Good times! In real life I root for the good guy, but on BB the good guys finish last. If there is one good guy in this house someone needs to point them out to me, cuz I haven't really seen it. They all make snarky comments, they all talk behind each others backs, they all lie, that's the game. Not one person came into that house to make friends they came to make money. The difference between Dick and those who perceive good people are that he says it to their face. Does he go overboard? Yes he does, but he has given the others a reason to take him to the end and that is the goal of this game.

Earthmother, NOT that I am a Dick/Daniele fan...far from it...but what you said about Dick giving others a reason to take him to end game, made me think he might be doing it to get to end game...and he doesn't want just anyone next to him at end game but Daniele sitting next to him at end game and for the jury to vote Daniele to win. Kinda like good cop/bad cop routine.

I agree Lainee. But I wish, if it did happen, that Dani would show her appreciation. I have my doubts tho.

Milosmom...I am so with you there. Dick is doing his best to get Daniele to the end. He wants to be sitting there next to her at the end, but not to win himself...for her to win and I am really wondering if she can see that fact!

That is my point Lainee. They are playing good cop/bad cop. It's quite a good stategy if you think about it. Dick acts the fool, Dani wins the challenges. They are truly playing the game. I like to see gamers win, like their style or not.

And I don't have a problem with that part of it Earthmother...my problem is with the way they are conducting themselves towards each other. As Milosmom said, Daniele just doesn't seem to be appreciative of her father ruining his endgame or anything her father does for her.

Laniee I'm not sure how much of Danielle is game or how much is immaturity. She has found a way (where her dad is concerned) to get what she wants by inflicting guilt on him when it suits her. He buys into it so he's created his monster child. Even now he's trying to give it all to her and she is letting him, while still acting like a brat. All the things he accuses her of (being self-centered, etc) he enables. I can't tell you how many parents I know who are like that. They want their kids to grow up and start thinking of others but they promote the self-centered behavior by giving them what they want for fear they will be abandoned by their own kids. I know husbands a wives who do the same thing. It's a human dynamic that always makes me go hmmmmmmmmmm...

I agree with that assessment EM.... and I also think that without intensive family therapy, Dani and Dick may never get over their "issues"...I was at least GLAD to hear Dick mention that to Dani about going to therapy after this game is over...I hope she goes through with the counseling for all of their sakes.

Actually I think family therapy is sometimes a joke. They can only help you if you think you need it, and rarely does anyone think they need it. I personally think watching themselves inside this house will be the biggest help to every single one of them, not just D/D. Some will excuse it as game, some will see that their actions are less than stellar and hopefully Dani and Dick will see where their biggest problems lie..using and enabling.
