I've read this board for a few years. I enjoy the incite from many of the posters. I have given my opinion sometimes with little comment from others. That's ok. <57> It gets so tedious to read the same stuff over and over and over again.

For me, I try to NOT reveal who i am rooting for. I DO find that as soon as you say you like or dislike someone, you are stuck with that label. Your choice of who you like then defines you and people remember your preference and assume that all your comments are based on that position. It becomes your "excuse" for making the post. I advise to hide who you are rooting for and who you dislike and treat them all equally. Like or dislike them all... or make it seem so.%0

Kearie, I agree with Tobor. How can you like or dislike someone and their game during the fist few weeks under the circumstances that the HG's are thrown into. It is easier to like some more than others but it is hard to look for the strategy behind their actions. This is a GAME. It is easy for me to say this as I am not in that house, so the HG's have to change from week to week depending on the HOH. There is only one thing I detest and that's one HG telling other HG's that someone is a pervert or molester as they did to Gerry when he was a teacher. Unless that is a proven fact it should be grounds for a stern DR call to stop that kind of gossip. We have more information than the HG's yet we become the mob.

Like your post Tobor. Fits my personal wonderment at how we go to work and everyone is so PC and so lovely to each other then they get on the road after 5 and turn into wild things. Thus the PC is mostly phony.

I often see posts from people who complain that they are bashed because of who they support, for example I have seen a lot of people who say they are "ripped apart" for being Dick and Dani fans. Then I will see posts from people who complain the exact same thing for being say Amber and Jameka fans. It was especially prevalant when Dustin was still in the house. He seemed to be a polorizing personality. But the truth of the matter is that the board was almost even split between the two camps. It is just that at any given moment when one or another HG does something that garners attention, the pendulum may swing one way or another. Don't think just because at that moment more posts support "the other side" that the board as a whole hates you. I think sometimes we are too sensitive. We take the things that another poster says too personally. Yes, we do get caught up in the moment and sometimes get too emotionally involved. I try to never take what someone else says personally. I find the ones who do the best on any board are the ones who can laugh and come back with a humorous replay rather than a defensive or angry one. Humor can often diffuse a tense situation. Remember, it is all one person's opinion anyway. No one has any more insight than anyone else does. On the other hand, I do feel that we should never attach our opinion of a HG to another poster. For example, saying that to support one or another HG reveals the character of a poster is just wrong. We know very little about the HG character from what we seen in the BB house, and we know even less about the poster's character. Some people can view the BB house like any other entertainment and like the "villian," while others feel compelled to only suppoort the "good people." And this does not reveal anything about anyone's real character. Just what they like to be entertained by.

I so dislike the remaining houseguests. I now do not care who wins.

This is my first post this year. And I've been here since BB1. I got discouraged last year, when James (who in my opinion was one of the better "gamers" of BB) was vilified here at the clubhouse. While I agree that some of his actions, and ED's this year are atrocious, I watch only to watch the game play and not the "pretty or popular" people. Thus, I always seem to be on the outside looking in and going against the crowd. But...that's okay. I'm still reading away, especially since I didn't bother with the feeds this year. I got tired of wasting my money on bad video and fishtanks and backyards....

I try not to bash. I will admit I may say a hg drives me nuts. But I do have rainbow glasses on when it comes to my faves LOL!

TVCH has been one of the best life lessons I have ever had. Starting here in BB1 I learned, kicking and screaming, that there are people who really do think differently than me, support different houseguests than I support- and- what a concept- they are just as right as I am! They feel what they feel just as totally and surely as I do. This is not always easy to remember but I consider it a great gift that I try to apply outside in the real world.

One of the things that often annoys me and sometimes amuses me on the board is how you can post and someone will take one thing you say and comment on it like that is the only thing in your post. I remember one post I made where I made an introductory comment to lead into my main thought which actually refuted the first comment. Someone took the first comment out of context and complimented me on my insight. I almost fell off my chair laughing.
