Boy oh boy, God must be a fan because he is there every season lately helping someone 'win'. Seriously, what is it with these people? They start acting religious while they are lying and basically screwing over other houseguests. They reek of desperation.

On the James issue, I will say that I am glad he is gone. He was voted out once and I don't like it when they let previous houseguests back in, I never have. They lost the game once, why do they deserve another chance?

James and Chelsia behavior is appalling and they both strike me as acting like spoiled children who throw tantrums when they don't get their way. They are bullies.}

Hi Meggie. I was doing so great the first couple weeks and even missed a couple shows. Then I heard about Amanda passing out and came to TVCH to see what was going on. That was all she wrote...hook, line, and sinker. In other words, it's not BB that I am addicted so much as it is talking about it with all the great people here. To be quite blunt, that's the one and only reason I continue to watch now, otherwise I would have no problem walking away either. It's almost over and I am so glad. Enjoy your free time :-). I wish I had your will-power...lol.

Sheila told James yesterday that Natalie is just a female version of James and I had to laugh. They are completely opposite as far as personalities go, but they are both "leaders" of their group. James is best at comps and IMO, Natalie is best at strategy. If the two had secretly alligned, it would have made for a great combination. On that note, I am kind of bummed that it didn't happen. JMO.

Hey Megs! I gave up this week. I erased Tuesday's and Wednesday's shows, and I'll erase last night's show without watching.

While I've not watched the feeds and don't get Showtime, and haven't been reading the LFPs, I've been more or less keeping up with what's going on in the house.

I've liked James almost from the beginning. I think he was playing the game, whereas others weren't until forced to. I really hope he doesn't get evicted this week, but at this point it's really too late for me. As long as Natlie is in the house, I'll refuse to watch the show.

This is the first time in ALL of the Big Brother seasons that I've revolted (and been so revolted). Even during the Maggie/Ivette season, while they were two of my least favorite players ever, I still watched the shows and the live feeds.

I suspect it's mostly the casting this season. And the entire god thing that just disgusts me. I'm done with this cast.

As usual, well said, Costa. Thanks for that.

I hope Meggie comes back on here to see the support for her!

Mama, never say never...maybe they will wise up before Wednesday...lol. James told Sharon last night that Adam/Sheila are really a couple in the house and the fighting is just an act...she seemed taken back by it (though I don't know how she missed it). If only James could blow the Sharon/Ryan alliance out of the water and some how bring Nat/Sheila in! I would love for James to flip it on Sharon the way she has been this week and I thought that was what he was trying to do by having her campaign for him :-(. If Natalie knew the stuff that Sharon and Sheila have been saying, she might just work it to keep James in. Dreaming am I??? lol

Klaw, it is a dream but these people would really flip it if they could see the forest for the trees (or is it through the trees? lol).

I wish James would blow those alliances OUT OF THE WATER.

Even more so, I wish someone from TC would walk in on the other talking smack about them and how they'll be the first to go. I cant pinpoint any one person because they've ALL been saying it!

I believe that would be the ONE thing that could save James and I hope Natalie gets that a F2 with him would really be the best solution. It would be a totally fair jury & I think it would be a hard decision for the jury to make.

Mama, I wish he would too. If he could just catch on to Sharon/Ryan, then go to the other side with it, they would probably take the bait since there has been trust issues with Ryan already. I agree about the smack, I wish that someone was Natalie that would walk in and hear it though...not that I want to see her hurt. I just want her to wake up and take a look around. They are not her friends!

i was done with this cast after the first week. i'm so tired of these phoney people looking for an acting career or whatever and i want to see secretaries, retal clerks, grocery store workers, gardeners, etc.

i'd like to see ordinary people put into this extraordinary position, but it ain't gonna happen again. so we get pink mohawks, fake boobs, and no intelligent conversations.

i'm watching the shows on tivo when i get time and have watched some of BBAD until i fall asleep.

they could cancel this season tomorrow and i wouldn't cry over it.

I too have not watched this season like I have in the past. I did not get the live feeds, and I usually just DVR the shows and the After Dark and when I have a little time, I skim through them.

I really find that I just don't really care who wins. I have not watched enough to really form an opinion of the houseguests.

I think last season just ruined it for me. So much of the behavior was revolting and to have it rewarded with the win was sickening to me. I just decided I did not want to invest any emotion in this show any longer. I keep up with it more not out of curiosity than really caring.

Maybe next season, I might get involved again, but I have a feeling that I will never care again like I did before.

I like this season fine. Granted, I haven't enjoyed the last 3 or 4 seasons. Enough with the self-consciously cool people already. Let semi-dorky but generally nice HGs have a chance at the top prize.

I can't get interested in this season of BB. It's more like teenagers on spring break, or girls gone wild. I want to see people like they had on season 1.

And let's not forget the saddest part of this season....the absence of Bunny Tales! At least at the worst of Big Brother I had that to look forward to.

James was not the only one evicted and came back in. Ryan was evicted...then alarm...then couples split up and he stayed, Sharon was also evicted and came back. I'm with the majority here, just can't get into this season like I have the others. I just hope the summer season has a decent group and is more like the old BB I grew to love.

I suppose if the show hinged on James for me, I might quit watching, too. It doesn't, though.
Whoever gets to Final Two deserves to win, just like every other season.
It's not about James...it's about Big Brother and how each of them plays the game to further themselves and win half a million dollars.
I have enjoyed every season and will enjoy every season we get in the future.
There is NOTHING like Big Brother. Nothing.
And for me, it has never really been about one particular player, but rather, about the game itself; the progress the personal relationships take; the route each move or action takes to further one's game or destroy one's game.
I love Big Brother. I always will. And I can only hope it continues in the future.

I love Big Brother too and have always watched until the end...even when it was Maggie and Ivette and I really disliked them.

I guess this season is just different and I really meant this post as more about it being strangely so easy to stop this year- verrrry unlike me!

That said- I totally look forward to the next season.

This season is somewhat different for me also. Not sure why exactly. I was like the OP and did not have live feeds, the internet etc for the first several weeks due to moving. I think the idea of couples kind of turned me off to be honest. I never got to know these ppl really as individuals and the whole "couple" mindset has not ceased for me yet. I didn't like the couples idea at all. Then there is the fact that for once, there is not one single person I am rooting for and a huge fan of. I have found something in almost each and everyone of them to dislike.

I think we have seen such a decline in the types of ppl since AG took over. It is obvious to those of us on these boards yet, I can't figure out why it is not obvious to CBS. I kind of like Adam, but there is something about him that gets on my nerves. He lost me in the beginning w/ his "retard" comment about kids with autism. I do kind of like Ryan and I guess I would say if I am "rooting" for anyone, it would be him, although I see his flaws too. Just not a cast I am fond of, however I do love BB and hope that it can be saved before it's too late. I have written to CBS about my dissatisfaction and being a long time fan, and maybe if others would we could get our beloved BB back before the ax hits.

I think one of the reasons I disliked this season so much is AG's "forced matchmaking." Since she took over BB, she hasn't done a single thing right on how to have a great season. Why does AG think she is smart enough to match up people she has never met with his/her soulmate?

I think they should interview these people better. They have such abusive language and discussions that make me sick.Do they think America really wants to hear that????? Play the game ,,,make it fun.. it all went downhill after last season...this will be MY FINAL BB...

...I watch live feeds and I dont see CBS making James looking good...He is the same on CBS as the feeds...

Hookedagain...I was just reading back, and I would like to address this.
He has not been portrayed on the show the way he has been in the house. For instance, he was not shown throwing the pickles; he was not shown discussing with Chelsia how to use each HG's personal soft spot to hurt them; he was not shown peeing in the bathroom sink or spreading his sperm there; he was not shown talking about the pleasure he gets from destroying other people's property or "ripping them off" (his words)

<76> none of them are shown in entirety. It's impossible to do that in light of the fact that they are taped 168 hours a week, and after reviews and previouslies, only about 2 hours and 15 minutes of new footage is shown.

We have known since seaon one, well, season two, really, that they create a storyline and follow that storyline until such point as it is no longer viable.
With James, they chose his romance with Chelsia and his supposed underdog position.

<76> He has been portrayed along the lines of the storyline they are trying to propel.

All of them are. But it is my opinion that the others have had their flaws exposed on the show much more than James has.

If James goes I will be very disappointed, in him and the other HG's. I wish I could stop watching, but unfortunately I want to see TC lose their religion and I am afraid they will!!

Beek, don't forget the time James covertly used Ryan's hair clippers to completely shave his private part area, and put them back without even washing them. He planned to leave his cut pubic hairs spread around on various things but BB stopped him. Then they had to replace or clean Ryan's clippers (not sure which). Ryan spent quite a while the afternoon BB had them out of the house searching for them. Don't think he ever got an explanation.

ETA: I don't really think they could have portrayed this one on the show!
