Survivor is 39 days. TAR is something close to that. SOME of the people who apply for those two shows are likely also going for the experience (it's why *I* applied for TAR). On Idol, once it's been whittled down, America gets to vote. And while they could potentially be involved longer than a month, they still have their lives outside (as demonstrated by the vids of the singers outside their apartments). I don't think you can compare those three reality TV shows to Big Brother. I think at this point, anyone who applies either wants to get rich quick (never a good thing) or wants to get famous quick (never really happens with a BB contestant). Seriously, how many of you would consider applying for one of the other three shows? And how many of you would consider applying for BB? I'd bet the results would "prove" that real people don't apply.

I'd NEVER put myself through what they go through on BB! Survivor is hard physically but as Costa said it's 39 days, BB is 3 months. To be just stuck in that house with some of the people that they put in there - Ack! Think of how much people on this board complain about some of the contestants. Can you imagine actually being there with them?! I would for sure go crazy!

If I was actually there with them...I wouldn't be there anymore. I would have been removed.

There are a lot of things I am forced to do that are not entertaining, enjoyable or fun to me. (such as dr visits, tax audits,certain tasks at work, kitty litter cleanup, etc.). But BB is still entertaining, enjoyable and fun, even when my favorite people leave...because I like to see my non-favs get their just dues, and I don't mind groaning in agony when they don't. I also like watching my favorites "overcome" my percieved injustices done to them...and rise above all the lunacy after the game ends. When BB is no longer entertaining, enjoyable and fun...then I will be done.

watched BB since season 1 - have had my favorites each time - pink hair girl britney [?] was my favorite initialy season 1 - it was such a novel idea then - 24/7 live feeds on the internet and a tv show - most of the rest of the seasons are forgettable for me but each season i get into it as if it were the first - but Janelle and Dick and Dr Will have been my favorites - and this season I have liked James and Josh and Adam - but oh how I dislike poor Natalie - anyway - I'm pretty much done for this season - yet as you see at 3AM PCT I am posting - so no matter what I say about not watching - I suppose I will watch until the end......Though I miss Josh and James -

I miss Josh & James too!!!!! Josh was sooo funny! I still can't believe they never showed the April Fool jokes BB played on them. Josh's reaction was so great, perfect for CBS to air.

I want to be done. I really do! Everyday it becomes more and more irritating. I hate that 24/7 really means, you only get to see what they want you to see. If something good is happening, it is before BBAD or after. Even the boards have become predictable.I am always a little skeptical when the competitions are done when no one is watching.

I am really close to being DUN. The <77> and Sharon combo is too annoying to watch. I just can't do it. I was actually starting to like Sheila until she whinned and won HOH. She is so on a power trip and its more than I can take.

Even if I quit watching the show, I will still come here and keep up on who is going to watch or not watch based on which player. That is the best thing on this whole board! I like to keep score about who posts and knows about the show after they had promised they would stop watching if a certain player left.

Well, personally, I'm pleased to see that Chelsia, Josh, and James are gone. I hadn't watched in weeks because of these three. I just set my TiVo to record BB again. Who knows if I will actually watch but previously I was so turned off by those three I knew there was no way I wanted to see anything from inside that house.

While I'm curious to see who ultimately wins this thing, and I'm curious as to what questions the jury will ask, I'm done here.

I almost did it. I watched one show this season. It was the live show when they split the couples. There just wasn't anything else on. As far as I'm concerned I am Big Brother free. (Lets see what happens in July)

I think this season, all in all was better than last season. Part of the problem for me is that last season was so bad for me, that it actually tainted the first half of this season, when I really thought it was going to come down to be a redux of last year. The reality is when it came down the stretch, everyone was relatively civil to each other, at least once Chelsea left, and people played the game but still interacted with one another. I find this base level to be a much more enjoyable one than what we had to see last year. Sure people are going to lie and backstab that is the game, it is the other side, that was wholly unnecessary that fortunately faded away.

I liked last year very much. This year I was rewarded with Natalie leaving earlier than she or her fans had planned so that was the thing that saved the season for me. I don't think much of Ryan or Adam as game players. I particularly do not think Adam did anything to get to F2. I hope he doesn't win.

Welcome Zpalme! I have to disagree with you.
Ryan played a very good game. He won HOH and POV more than once, and he made alliances and deals as needed while (apparently) staying loyal to Adam. His downfall may be he made too many "secret" deals with people who ended up in the jury. Not to mention his various rewards, and that the jury HATES his GF and probably doesn't want to see her benefit from Ryan's win at all. Adam also played a very good game. He won HOH twice, and he made friends with much of the house. He also won the second part of the final HOH, so he did do things on his own to deserve to get to the Final 2. He didn't go out of his way to bash people, but would join in a lesser capacity when others would do it or if it suited his game. He was very loyal to Ryan and Sheila from early on, and all three made it to the finals...which says something. He may have said and done some nasty things here and there, but on the whole, he seems like a fairly decent (if goofy) guy. I just wish he had never used the term "retards" as that was just plain wrong. As for referring to Sheila as a b!t*h, well...I've watched BBAD, seen the youtubes, read the transcripts...who am I to argue with him on that?

Darclyte Your declaration of Adam and Ryan's ability in the game have fallen on dead ears. I'm sorry but you'll have to play that card somewhere else. I find their behavior more than repulsive.
