I did get the feeds, but only the 2 week free trial. Unless something changes, I don't think I'm going to renew them. I only turn them on once or twice a day for about 30 minutes. I just haven't been able to get that interested this season. And I'm able to get more than enough info from these boards if I want to (thanks live feed posters and screencappers!).

Sunshy - LOL I was right with your posts, from the first explanation, to the weakening and watching... unfortunately for me this seasons seems to be all about sex - not even showmance, which I thought was lame, but still - this show is just too 20somethingprettyforcameras - its not what I watch Big Brother for, and I'm just not a voyeaur - I know they cant show that on TV - yet, that's what the story lines will lead to... arrg

This is bizarre, isn't it? I haven't logged on for hours and there are only new comments in about four threads! Does no one like our houseguests? I always take a while to warm up - too many people for me at first.

I think BB is fun in the summer, when there's nothing else on. But with Survivor and Lost on right now, I'm finding my interest in BB is not very high.

I agree Roppie. I'm not into all that "hooking up". I mean I liked Jessica/Eric...thought they were cute...but it never really got vulgar. I could definitely do without that, but I will give it a little time and hopefully it will get better. Been watching since day one of BB1 and they just progressively get worse but I still watch..lol

I'm done with the show for this season. As Roppie said, I can rent porn anytime at the video store if that's what I want to see. Better porn, where I don't have to listen to the guys degrade the women after they're through. I think the only addiction I have is you guys here, so maybe I'll see you on the other show threads. Thanks again AG, for slowly ruining a show I really used to love.

I may cancel after the 14 day free trial, depending on how this next week goes. This isn't Big Brother. at. all. It's more like a Frat House or something...

On Valentine's Day the National Geographic had a 4 hour Wild Sex documentary... somehow it reminded me of what's going on in that house... once Valentine's Day was over the fun just ended and a eek feeling remains... (The Wild Sex doc was awesome... and I thought nature made sense!! not if you're a male tarantula!!)

well, now that the writer's strike is over. Let's just evict everyone at once and watch dead air until we get something better to watch. I think they have updated the TV Test Pattern with color and I would gladly watch that for the next several months over the current season of BB.

Ah I am not the only one who is uninterested. It is almost 8 PM, EST and I have not been on the board all weekend. I even deleted Showtime After Dark from my DVR from Sunsay AM.My BB addiction has miraculosly been cured with no effort on my part.

I've hardly been on the boards and have only watched the first episode on TV. The person who casted BB9 should be fired. I am in 100% agreement with the rest of you. Pretty much all they've cast are 20 something year old, sex-crazed <25>. Every other word is a curse word. There's no one I can get behind to root for. I'm probably going to cancel my feeds too.

i cancelled my feeds after 2 days, and made sure my DVR is not recording the BBAD. i'll just watch the toned down version that CBS is giving me. this is not what i want to watch, and i'm normally not a prude.

I should just stick to the tv version of this BB and stay away from any Youtube clips to make the whole thing bearable... at least it seems that on the tv show there is actually some strategy talk and no sex talk or dirty talk... however, this season the people have no charisma at all... bad casting.. (I mean, if it has to be so hateful and dramatic have at least better looking people, but these ugly looking people are a turn off... )

I don't think that the whole circumcise segment needed to be on the show...

Bon... that absolutely stunned me that CBS aired that during the family hour.

Other shows airing during "family hour" at 8:00 this week Law & Order - Violence Prison Break – Self explanatory Lost – Violence, sex, murder. Grey's Anatomy – Promiscuous sex. Bones – Decomposed remains in a refridgerator. Cops - Good grief! Sadly, I'd say CBS isn't all that out of step.

wow. That's a pretty sad statement on today's society, isn't it? Do they even still call it "family hour"? Thank goodness my kids are grown!

I was raised that 7:00 p.m. (CST) is "family hour." (This probably goes back to when families ate dinner at 6:00 p.m. and watched TV at 7:00 p.m. - back in the stone ages). Am I the only one that was mortified that they are talking about an uncircumsized penis during the 7:00 hour? I'm by no means a prude and I have no children - but I was pretty shocked that they aired it. It was unnecessary. I just think AG has crossed the line this season with this cast. Lost comes on at 8:00 CST (which I don't consider family hour). Unfortunately Jimmer, there's not that much sexxin' happening on Lost (although I wouldn't mind some sexxin' involving Sawyer). I can't speak about the rest of the shows because I don't watch them.

Hi Lexie - No I was totally freaked out about the whole circ discussion. My son who was sitting in the other room ventured in -- he's 7 and said, "Mom why are they talking about being not nromh circ'd like it's bad, I'm not" And I felt like crap because here are these girls making faces and passing judgment about something personal, and then Adam showed them?? Ick. Anyhow not for the family hour no.

I saw it as a funny segment, not meant to scandalize or penalize anyone for being circumcised. Some wanted to see what it looked like and Adam didn't mind showing it, fortunately the scene was cut just on time. Worst things than that have been happening in the house...

There is a difference between watching the LFs and seeing this happen, and watching a TV show and seeing this happen. Was it really necessary? Funny or not, it was pretty much offensive. And I honestly could care less if Adam is circumcised or not.

Exactly Costa. Huge difference between LF and seeing this on TV. Once again, Allison took the low road with what she is airing on TV at 7:00 p.m.

LOL, Spunky, I am so glad you said something. I was LMAO I thought it was so funny. Did not find it offensive, just a part of BB. Maybe since I watch other countries stuff, ours seems tame, but I thought it was interesting.

As far as I'm concerned, you could take these people and combine them into 1 or 2 HG's. There is absolutely NO diversity in this group. I might as well be watching MTV's Real World (which I despise). Sadly this is the first time I've ever been disappointed with BB. I have only seen the premiere episode and checked the Live Feed postings a couple of times... Looking forward to the next season.

Ridiculous to cover that topic in the way it was done, I am disgusted with AG and we picture her as a troll or something around these parts. How pathetic.

Maybe the summer version will be better. This one is like a high school edition and the cast seem to have no brain power. I'll try again in July.

Slightly off topic - but is circumcision popular in Canada or is it just a US thing?

At this point, it is mostly a U.S. thing, though some people are still having it done in Canada. I did a lot of research into this and agonized over it when Cathy was pregnant.

Thanks Jimmer. I'm not sure whether the US shows are broadcast in any other countries, but if so there are going to be some confused people watching that whole section.

You're welcome Kitt. Appropriateness of showing it aside, I was rather amused over the American reaction. Of course, it's not like Canadians don't know what circumcision is. There are still a lot of circumcised (as well as uncircumcised) Canadians wandering around (though hopefully not showing it off). True Scooter. LOL - But now I have other things to worry about!!!
