I have posted before that I am only watching the tv show- for the first time in all these many years! No feeds (have them but have not watched) and no Show Too (have it- have not watched). That has been refreshing- and certainly has liberated a lot of time. I do check here to see what has happened. We usually end up watching three episodes on Sunday night when we have time, finally, to catch up.

When I saw today that apparently James is being back doored- I talked to my husband and son and we all decided to bail on the season. We wont watch this weeks three and we have no trouble doing it! We liked James, and the thought of a house of Ryan,Nat,Sheila,Adam, and Sharon is just too depressing to us.

I didn't post this to debate about that actually- I think it is just so strange for me after being a totally immersed fan since Season 1 - to be walking away like this. I have certainly threatened it before, lol! But this time it is for real.

See you all next season!

While Chelsea, Sharon and Josh all won a comp when it was teams, they all failed to do anything when it went individual and that was ultimately James downfall. That nobody else on his side could win.

Meggie. I can't say as I blame you but cheer up. At least Natalie can't win 1st place because she is sending the entire pink allience to sequester. Since only 7 can vote it will be a 4/3 vote for whoever ends up in F2 against her. I'm hoping that will be Sharon but will be ok with anyone else. Hopfully before F2 the guys will get rid of Nat but even if sound thinking is out of their grasp at least she will not win the big money.

Meggie: I feel the same way James is my absolute FAV. This seasons is ending like season six <100>. James would sure make this a more interesting game. Adam tells him to campaign knowing he has 0 chance at a vote and then they go straight to Sharon to turn her against him. But they think they are perfect. I can't wait to see them turn on each other and I hope Sharon can stay out of the line of fire for a while.

Meggie, I think your post proves the difference in truth vs. editing on reality series'.

It was probably harder to see in previous years, because you were privy to the the live feeds and the REAL personalities of each contestant. This year, you are missing out on some sinister and hypocritical points in James. Think back to the first season Janelle played, and think about how Maggie and Ivette were edited SO well for the show, yet all of us saw their real characters, and we cried foul. I think it's just the same as that. BB just doesn't want to show the really crummy things James says and does.

I don't have the feeds, but I read up on the internet through Jokers and here, and I can definitely see the BB SHOW is portraying a different James than the James that is in the house. <76>You've only seen his few good moments.

I wish you and the family a ton of fun with your newfound free time. BB really does suck up a lot of our lives, and it's a breath of fresh air when the season is over for us, as we reconnect with our family, friends, and other hobbies.

Let me correct myself. The only way for Nat to win is to maybe take Sharon to F2 and manage to still convince evicted Ryan and Adam to vote for her. Can't see that happening.

I wouldn't call James handsome. Maybe if he changed his hair, It's Natalie however that has the false sense of entitlement by declaring she is the chosen one, God told her she'd win and the Pinks are evil doers.

Backed Doored?? He Cried to Adam to please not put him on the block with Sharon and said if he won pov he wouldnt take her off and Adam said play it hard Bro you know if you don't win POV your going up Dude! He had just as much chance at winning the POV as anyone he has proven that!

God has nothing to do with this game. People get desperate and search for justifications. Every season a houseguest uses God as their guidance. The winner of this game is always the best manipulator. Which in part would be the best player. Maybe Natalie is the best player. James doesn't seem to be a good player just a spoiled sport. I wouldn't count Ryan out. He is a manipulator but is low key about it.

If people are going to stop watching because there favorite is kicked out maybe the producers should stop editing the show in favor of a particular HG.

I for one do not want to encourage the producers to interfere with integrity of the game more than they already do.

I say watch the rest of the season and enjoy the manipulation by the other players.

Don’t give AG another reason to rig the summer addition.

First of all - <55> I don't blame Meggie - imo, it will be a pretty boring house without James.

Second, Adam did not backdoor James. The actual meaning of "backdooring" means to nominate one or more pawn with the intention of the "backdooree" NOT getting a chance to play and win POV. Adam didn't nominate James because he felt bad for him & James knew if he didn't win POV he would be going home.

<55>.

Meggie - hope to see you around this summer for season 10!!

Hi Meggie! I'm sure you remember me as someone who was as immersed in this thing as you were (and I was die hard since season 1). Not so this year. I am the same as you--I barely watch. I had the feeds for about a month and turned them on maybe twice, so finally discontinued them.

I only watch the show if I am able to, but I don't go out of my way for it. I do read the boards here because in the past, this was my favorite place to be during BB season.

I feel free, free, free! It's an odd feeling. I read the posts and I am grateful I don't care enough to participate in the arguing about the house guests that goes on.

For me, this is the absolute Worse Cast Ever. I thought last year's was pretty bad (and I pulled for ED to win), but this year's is amazingly bad.

And, I do like James. :-)

ETA: Has anyone seen C1 this season?

((( Hi Meggie ))) I've flip flopped on my most and least fave a million times this season. One thing I do like is that we never seem to know what the heck they are up to cuz they flip flop too. Right now I don't really care who wins, but Nat is by far my least favorite. I think she's played a heck of a game, but the "God" stuff is just too much for me, so I would really like to see her gone asap. I will miss James too. He is intelligent, someone who is well versed in many subjects and quite interesting. I'm not sure if Nat and Ryan are as undereducated as they seem, but it annoys me. I would prefer to listen to James, Shiela, Baller and Sharon have a conversation than those two.

Well said, Alliet and Seattlemom, I agree with you both. James had his chance, he blew it, he's getting put out exactly the same way he did to Matt, and even more up front because he knew he had to win POV or he'd go up.

As an avid, proud and outspokene James fan, I agree, Saguaro. James knew he had to win POV & he just didn't/couldn't/wouldn't.

I don't blame Adam for what he did. James got a fair chance and Ryan was better at the game than James (I assume - I haven't seen the actual game yet).

However, I am sad and disappointed that James will be leaving in a few days and I believe the house will be a lot more boring without him. I will still watch the TV show & read here but no more late nights watching BBAD & chatting here.

Looking forward to Season 10, though!!

They do need to do a better job of casting.There isnt the interest in BB that was once there. Look at this board. It use to take hours to get caught up on this board.

Mama I too am a James fan and I can not understand how TC fans can say James is worst than anyone in the house....Yeah he did porn...We don't know why...Nat worked as a stripper....I don't hold anyones past against them I am sure we have all done something in our lifetime we are not proud of. That being said...I watch live feeds and I dont see CBS making James looking good...He is the same on CBS as the feeds...other than lanuage and they all but Sheila have a bad mouth....I can't wait (and it is happening now) when they turn on each other...My question is if they wanted Nat out they should have done it this week when she couldn't get HOH?
