I am liking this season. I don't think it was fake at all. I think Josh was laughing because it felt damn good to yell and get all that pent up rage off his chest.

I will definitely like the show better once Jen is gone on Wednesday.

The couple idea is really not bad per se but it's the casting and pairing which ruined whatever good was in that idea.
One thing is sure, everything is "doubled", the nominations, the evictions, the hatred, the paranoia, and watching this double disaster is like someone giving us a double shot of speed... our eyes may pop out soon...

For me, no one has any redeeming qualities. No master game player to root for. No underdog to root for. Turning BB on seems to be more of a habit than anything else this season. I keep hoping it will get better. Now I just feel the need to shower, a lot, after watching. And yet I still watch! LOL!

I looked forward to this season of Big Brother...I find it totally relaxing and fun...BUT!!! this seasons cast is way too "college fraternity" They all seem to have absolutely no morals...I used to love this show when they had a mix of people, like young ones, and older ones.
The show this year is way too slutty and I am very, very disappointed at the no morality..it sucks, and I am tuning out of it. Too bad...the show used to be fun to watch.

Nessie, I was trying to delicately phrase a post saying the same thing. It's as if they thought "single" meant "loose".

BB9 has tanked. It's the worst theme Grodner and her cohorts have ever thought of. It backfired on Grodner once Jen let it out about Ryan. I've watched 2 shows, 1 BBAD and gave up. These people have no gameplay, there is not one redeeming quality in any of them plus they are boring. This one's not for me and I've seen them all since BB1.

This season is so bad, I can't find one girl to have a "straight woman's non-lesbian girl crush" on. In fact, I can't even have a straight woman's non-lesbian girl crush on the fake lesbian alliance. I guess the only one I can have a non-lesbian girl crush on would be Josh.

I think it's a matter of timing- if this were the regular summer time frame, we'd probably be loving this cast...but there's just something so off about this being in winter.

I haven't turned on the feeds once-which is a first for me. not watching the shows, but I do DVR BBAD just in case something good happens then...

LOL Lexie! I know what you mean... not a single girl crush going on here, either. And sadly, no real guy crushes either! I guess I'm just not into superficial people?

Wilson, I dunno about that. I have absolutely zero affinity for any of these 20 something wannabe's. I don't know if the summer would make a difference, since my schedule is so busy all thru the year that summer vs winter makes no difference. What I'm missing are really likeable people, and this season seems to be sorely lacking in that component. I've not turned on the feeds at all, which is rare since I've usually got 'em running (at least in the background) while I'm working. I have no interest in this group of houseguests. I like the guinea pigs, though!

I don't have the feeds, but I like the show so far. Compared to last season, it's better, because last season, I didn't watch any episodes, until the end (oh and I didn't have feeds last year either). IMO, last season is way worse.

I like the couples thing. I like that just because BB SAID they were supposed to be soulmates, most of the couples embraced it, and thought about hooking up with each other. I like that the couples are pretty much now reshuffling themselves. I like that there is jealously, and all that crap, and I can hardly wait for the season to be played out individually.

I don't have the feeds, but I think this twist maybe prevents the pagonging that sometimes happens when the cast polarizes into two groups really early.

I can't handle Alison or Sheila because they seem imbalanced, and I can't look at Nathalie, because her eyes don't follow each other and she reminds me of a cross-eyed Sherri Oterri from SNL.

Other than that, I like all of the guys, and the rest of the girls.

I like BB9 much better than BB8 for the simple fact that there is no America's Player to interfere with the natural flow of the game. I fully expect the DR will try to manipulate hgs decisions but I don't think it will be as blatant as it was in BB8.

So far I am disappointed in this season. I was sooo looking forward to it and feel let down. It just seems to me to be fraternity mentality and and is getting on my nerves. I would like to see "real" people on there along with some pretty faces and banging bodies.....not ALL pretty faces and banging bodies. I am bored with it.....YAWN

Totally bad Casting this season. In previous seasons you had a semi microcasum of reality. You had the young, old, wise, nieve, sweet, hateful, dramatic, mellow, religious. People with complete counter parts learning to deal with other unlike them selves and survive the game. This season is all about emotions. Every one there is young and in the dramatic love hate stage in there lives. Theres not a sane stable mind around to help filter this mess. They all care more about whats going on in the house than how to play SMART. Sad part about it all is Allison should be a great player shes so observant and with a stable parter or alliance she could really shine. So far shes just made completely dumb moves over feelings about others.

No - I'm not liking this winter season. As others have stated, the contestants appear to be too young and immature to deal with their living and partner situations.

There is drama - that I give you. However, I don't like drama ALL the time.

So far, I've been watching the CBS shows but usually not on the premier night - usually a few days later. I didn't subscribe to the feeds or Showtime and am happy in my decision.

I personally think this cast is 'trying too hard' to be entertaining by being overly dramatic and emotional. Drama and emotion can be handled in small doses, with just a few people at one time, not from everybody all the time.

I'm enjoying it as well as I have any other season in the first 2 weeks.

Did anybody else notice how much easier it is remember their names when they are couples? I knew them all by heart within a week. I think it's the associating them with a partner that did it, because I know for sure I'm not watching the feeds any more than I have in the past.

OKAY, I hate to admit it but YES! But with the disclaimer that I like it better than BB6, 7 and 8

and the one with Erika and Rob....I didnt like the first weeks of ostracizing. These people are at least civil.

I already like this season better than All Stars and BB8. This season has the potential to be very good if CBS doesn't shorten the season due to the writer’s strike ending and allowing them to play as individuals.

LOL, you guys. So glad to see others are enjoying it as I do. I do think it's shaping up to be a very interesting season. I'm glad things will pick up now that they're caught up. Ten days in HOH is just TOO long.

It's silly fun, I am liking it. Like it a whole lot better than I have the last three seasons, that's for sure.

I'm okay with this season so far and it is still early. Of course, it could be better but the last three seasons weren't anything to write home about either.

I am hooked on finding out whatever goes on so I guess I am enjoying this season.
The craziness that has happened already is way better than BB8's dinner date with Amber and Mike...

Yes, this HOH has been waaaay too long!
