Wow, Bee, that IS interesting! Similar ages, yet different views on the same situation. We're all drawn into the human experience and I hope I might get interested in BB again!

I hope you do, too, Rose. I really like hearing others' takes on things. I understand what you're saying, tho.

Count me in also, I have been a diehard BB watcher and loved watching the feeds, but this year I am not enjoying it at all. They have nothing to talk about, except each other, they go from one person to another telling lies about each other, everything is a big drama and a screaming match about "he said - she said". I can't find one person to like from this cast and I couldn't care less who wins it.

within ten mins of the End of BBAD, Matt confirmed with Parker and Alex that it was just for show.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=t_NJAxWIE-w part two of the fight....proof that it was just acting. Check out Ali and Josh just killing themselves laughing in the house...completely calm.

Sun and Rose - Just because - my son will be 23 in July and his name is William but we call him Bill. He does not watch BB and could care less about the people in the house.

It was hard to say last year for the first few weeks and it's going to be even harder this time. Once some of the couples leave it will be easier to decide if I like it or not. Right now it just seems to me that they are all a bit out of control and haven't really shown who they are because they are all too busy jockeying for position.

Sun, that fight wasn't faked. It may have been staged but the emotion was real. Josh hates Amanda and he was looking for a reason to go off on her. He meant what he said and was happy to have a chance to finally get it all out. Josh isn't a particularly nice person so of course he was proud of himself for his performance. Allison is probably the most two-faced woman in there and probably enjoyed what happened. Staged for SHO but it wasn't fake.

The original question on do I like this season...Nope. Last night I deleted my Tivo Season Pass before even watching the show and I didn't sign up for the live feeds for the first time in years. That time is now mine and not BB's and it feels great. I have no desire to watch this year. Just from reading the posts here, I'm glad I made the decision I made.

I wonder if they get more money stipendwise if the ratings go up. It would be really interesting to know what BB and Showtime tell them.

Miso-why would someone want to act like a stupid butt on national tv? these people all have or will have jobs, is this the kind of video resume a person wants? And this is supposed to increase ratings? I am sure that AG has people monitoring all the bb websites and I know that both TWOP and TVCH have lots of people posting how this cast stinks. Do they get their stipends docked if the ratings go down?

I don't think thier pay/stipend changes one way or the other in regards to ratings.

Sunshyne, that video you posted is something else. Are Josh/Allie partners? Geez, I don't think I ever seen anyone as evil-acting as Allie, being so fake and 'caring' for Amanda after the fight and using it as an excuse to go after Jen. Even the blindest person there had to see her agenda on that one and be leary of telling her too much. The people left outside were really angry and they too were played by these two. Josh just made himself noticeable because Adam/James are already distancing themselves from him. Geez, he's got Allie and Sharon working for him? No wonder he worked so very hard dissing Amanda and bringing up her faults constantly to Nat. What is this...very creepy. I may have to give up on this show altogether.

I am getting a kick out of this season, so many of the HG's seem to be sort of clueless about how the game is played and how to stratgize that it is funny.

This season is the WORST! Who picked this group <24>??? The "couples" idea sucks.

I would love to see the show get back to the way it was when it was started. A diverse group of people from all walks of life that have families who they left home and different age groups and people who don't have an interest in getting into show business. This year is awful watching a bunch of horney kids who want to party, take their cloths off and have sex. I am not a prude but geesh.....the language is awful. I am so disapointed in this show and I was so looking forward to seeing it.

I have to agree with Dipo, this season has been really funny for me to watch. In a way it's sort of like a UK cast in that they're not really playing the game-- and don't always want to be seen as playing the game-- despite they are. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this is a great season, but I think it's very unintentionally entertaining. The fact there's no true "evel overlord" who understands the game pulling strings makes it even better. Not a great season but much more enjoyable to me than BB8 was. (it doesn't help I've been really sick the last couple of days and have only watched a few minutes of the feeds.. I'm just skimming live feed posts to catch up before going to bed.. maybe when I'm healthy my impression will change ;) ) (I should add, too, it's really early in the season.. normally the first few weeks are mind numbingly boring.. can't say that for this one... may not be great but a lot has happened. It's too early to judge the season but I think it has a lot more potential, despite its flaws, than BB7 or 8 had)

i still think it is going to be madness after the first eviction. every season it is a wakeup call and the Seriousness of NEEDING HOH becomes clear. This group of Piranha are going to constantly be shifting alliances. I'm sure we will never know what is real or fake. It may have been staged but the emotion was real. That is what acting is about. you use your personal experiences and emotions to make your PART more believable. Josh tapped into his frustrations. Doesnt mean that it was real But that is just semantics on my part.

I do like it. Didn't think i would like the pairs twist but it adds an uncertainty to the game. It makes it is hard to wish a team gone when you love one person and hate another.I find the ability to work together fascinating and some are doing it better than others-Matt/Natalie-Josh/Sharon and James and Chelsia are working it and are solid. I think it is early and we need to let a couple evictions go by before we decide if this is a good, great or bad season.
