Every year I say, "not this year."

Every year I end up watching... again.

Maybe I won't watch this year since it's February. Worth a try.

I HATED last year's BB and gave up on it pretty quickly BUT once again have high hopes that this season's BB will entertain me without boring or putting me off.

I absolutely am going to try NOT to watch. I need to get my sorry butt off this computer anyway. I'm frittering away my time. Besides, February is too soon for another one.

Have fun, BB watchers!

I'm not excited about it at all for some reason. I haven't bought the feeds yet, but I have set the TIVO. I'll probably just start out by reading updates on here and see how things go.

I'll watch the TV show, I'll read stuff in TVCH and Hamsterwatch and Bunny. I am NOT getting Real Player. Too much RL going on and won't have konashark to share it with this season anyway.

DH and I have not set the tivo, are not impressed with the "premise" of this year's show and will probably only read Bunny's summaries.

Teach, check out the Bunny Archives thread - Bunny's not doing her summaries this season.

I don't like the premise either Teach. Once again they don't have a big age difference, and we all know the rest. I remember how much fun this show used to be and how much it has changed.

I am still not over the last BB..it was disgusting! I am sure there will be better shows to watch now that the writer's strike is over. So..I'm probably not going to watch! I'll check out the first show..and I'm sure that will be it for me.

I will watch ... but I'm really not happy about it. Yes, BB is my favorite reality show, I've been watching the show and feeds since season one, but I really enjoy the 9 months in-between shows to relax. I like having my BB once a year, but I couldn't possibly stay away.

BB8 was the worst. This time they seem to really be pushing sex, nudity, piercings, tattoos, and trying to outdo last season.

No diversity at all. Looks totally boring to me.

For the first time since bb1, I will not get the feeds. I'm not paying $40 to see contrived sexual situations and producer-influenced 'reality'.

I'm very disappointed, and I think I finally outgrew BB.

I think Rosem has hit the nail on the head for me. It is so incredibly contrived. Perhaps if they had called it something other than Big Brother I wouldn't feel so negatively but there is really nothing spontaneous about this (at least to begin with). Even their "matche" are picked out. Maybe the fun is if they cross over and are attracted to someone else but why push this side of living together.It's almost all plotted out . I am definately not as psyched about it and not at all concerned about missing any of it. We'll see.

I think for the first time I'm not going to really be upset if I miss BB. I wasn't excited at the start last year but got sucked back in. This year, I don't see that happening. Maybe it's the February start and BB for me is a summer thing, but I am just not ready for BB this early in the year. (Of course too many work responsibilities this time of year also help the addiction.)

contrived sexual situations and producer-influenced 'reality'.

exactly!! I am sooooo tempted to get the free 14 days to 'just see what it is like'

SIGH, I love ragging on the idiocy BUT in a controlled way. I think that this season may be extremely difficult to find some spontaniety(sp)

i truly believe last season was completely fixed right from the word go (or the special meetings with AG and Dick/Dani together PRior to the show)

the fact that this season is going to be 'teams against teams', I feel we are going to see ostracizing and bullying similar to the most hated BB5/ twin twist.

Since I dont watch Any daytime tv (except startrek) I am rather craving BB, BUT I am going to try NOT to watch feeds.

But I have a feeling....I'm going to be weak LOL

i'm almost tempted to sign up if we can watch the Space Station all year round.

I truly have no idea what Else can be viewed via Superpass.

I'm watching it all, including BB After Dark, and haunting TVClubHouse for live feed updates! I am very happy to have an extra BB!!!

This is the first year I have not bought the Superpass. I do not plan on getting into it anymore than the show this season and *may* read some of the updates. I have too much stuff to do without putting it all aside so soon after the last one (which went a long way to weaning me off BB as I hated the last season). Sounds to me like this is going to be a sleazier BB than last season's.

Bee you are the best! I can already feel my confidence to post building! You will be sick of me in no time, hee hee

Why on earth would we all be here if we aren't going to watch. We can complain all we want but this show has us all hooked, complaining about the format is part of the fun. It is our first winter edition, does this mean we will see less thong bikinis? LOL I think not thanks to all the backyard fires.... DH was grumpy but now I think he has perked right up and will watch with me, lol.

Going up against American Idol is one thing ,but scheduling the premier at 9:00 pm on Tuesday during college basketball season just demands a pre-emption. That is exactly what we get in NC ,where college hoops are king. Big Brother airs at 2:37 am Wednesday morning.

Now I’m hearing rumors of house guests already being evicted. Does CBS really want people to watch or are they just trying to fill air time until the writers have new scripts ready.

CBS please don’t take all the fun out of Big Brother before it starts . Keep your staff on a short leash and stop the leaks. Try 8:00 pm Tuesday night before the local games start. Oh ,and March …..
FORGET ABOUT IT.


I’ll watch if I can remember to set my VCR.
