I'm sorry but I just can't get into this season. The theme is lame and the people have no personality. This will be the first season that I DVR and could care less if I find the time to watch it. Does anyone else feel this way?

It's too early to say for me. I will say that I think it will be an improvement from last season. ANYTHING has got to be better than Dick <LC> and <LC> Danielle. I hated last season with a passion.

I don't like it at all. The soulmate concept, the narcissistic people. The complete disregard for others as human beings. The only older person in the house is the vainest of all.

And I really wonder what is wrong with ME, because even though I can't stand them and don't care what happens to them, I'm watching the feeds anyway.

I'm apparently sick and need to be healed.

actually, I feel a few of this year's cast are Amazing personalities.

A few HGs are just showing their manipulating abilities and I'm starting, sort of, to be hooked.

Some of these people seem so much like 'regular joes'.

As ofyesterday, so many of them seem to be finally 'visiting' and exchanging stories. I really think that this season COULD be fun IF BB would get rid of the Couples Twist......OR changes UP the Couples TWist.

you know, Like Survivor when they mix up the Tribes.

I like the people ok but not the couple thing. I don't like someone else's fate depending on the partner. I only want to see one leave at a time based on what they did or did not do.

I think it would improve the season if they said, "whoops, we made a mistake. Your soul mates are really.... " and switch them around. Then after a short time do it again, then let them be on their own.

I think they are pushing wayyyyy too hard for some sex to happen. I preferred BB when they had Kent's and Bunky's............REAL people. Not just a bunch of hot horny people with fake boobs. Just my 2 cents.

I am having a hard time getting into because it is not the summer. Too much going on. I don't think I will be writing it off by any means but I would have been ok if they only kept in the summer

I like it. Better than some of the boring middle seasons. 4 and 5 and Allstars specifically.

Kennyb.. I AGREE ALL THE WAY!!!! It's getting so you want to scoot the kids out of the room. I see an orgy in the making. I'm really not a prude, but there's just some things that should be done in private. I don't like it at all! I'd rather see a variety of ages, etc. Real People. Since season 1, I've been an avid fan - wouldn't miss a show no matter what & watch the feeds way too much. This year, I really don't care if I see it or not.

I hope you mean for the TV show, because if you let your kids watch BB Live Feeds, any season, I question your parenting skills.

It's funny. Many people sort of long for the good old days so to speak. When BB U.S. followed the same concept as the rest of the BB shows around the world as it did during Season 1. Isolated strangers, getting to know each other and working together. In those shows Big Brother is the adversary. There are people who post here who love the Australian and British version of BB.

However, the British and Aussie versions have sex. More sex. More nudity. It is part of the show. BB USA has probably the least sex and nudity of any of the BB's in the world.

Anyway, the sex on this season's BB U.S. doesn't bother me, though I don't find it particularly interesting because I just don't care. That brings me to the biggest problem I'm having with this season which is that the HGs are generally so unlikable that I don't care what happens to most of them.

But I'm still watching.

parental judgement I think you mean. Lots of people are great parents but sometimes their judgement is not neccessarily mainstream

Heck, I know people who dont protect their kids from anything sexual or violent on TV.

not sure if BB is worse than CSI or LAS Vegas for instance

I will still watch and check tvch some. So far I am not as interested. Some is because it's early in the season. I think some has to do with the couple theme. It feels like most are either hoh or nom and very few voting (if they are voting as couples). I hope they don't keep it this way for long.

I said I'd never watch again after last season's fiasco, but here I am again. I guess you can say its a bit of an addiction, since i've watched ever since the first season....lol. Anyway, its still early in the season, but my biggest issue is the couples theme. I really preferred BB when they didn't have these twists. They never seem to work, and hurt the show, IMO. I have to say this season's premise with hooking up strangers and making them sleep in the same bed is just dumb! I don't like that they don't have a chance to play the game as individuals, because they MUST agree with their partners, which can hurt their chances. If one acts up in the house...the other has to suffer for it by being put on the block for elimination. I just feel its a dumb concept, no matter how interesting TPTB feel this new concept is. I also don't care for such a lack of diversity in ethnicity and ages. It really does seem like a LIVE version of Real World with most of the house being in their 20s, while only ONE is over 40. BB was so much better when they had a variety of ages, and people from different backgrounds/lifestyles.

I have watched every season of BB since season 1 and I have to say I have absolutely no interest in these people or this season whatsoever. Horrible concept, horrible casting. Caramella hit the nail on the head. It's not BB, it's Real World Live. It seems everything that made BB fun to watch has been taken away. And what's left is just a hot mess. And not in a good way.

There have only been two episodes of the CBS show so far, so I would say it is a little premature to be judging it yet.

Actually I kind of like this winter version of BB, but I may change my mind as time goes on with the show. I like the coupling, only cause I am hoping it will cause major conflicts with the partners at some point.

I really like it. It's been a while since there was drama from day 1 so I am on board! I usually really dislike the twists and all "themes" I strongly feel that they should just let them be! but I don't mind this couples theme so much either.

It's something to look at when I'm bored. I don't have the live feeds OR BBAD and I'm glad because I feel it'd just be a waste of good money. I find everything I need to know on all the boards around here. :-)

I agree famingo .... I have no favorites .... can't even get into "liking" any of these hg's. OMG This house has turned into a xxx rated group of junior high students.

Some are immature, some are "trashy, some are plain blah! this is like watching a good show half a sleep.....zzzzzzzzzzzz
There is just something "off" about this bb... I just wont be "taping" it if I'm not home.

and oh, I think this house has a new Erika!

all jmo!

And the only thing she adds to diversity is her age... My goodness she was a Penthouse Pet... not too diverse from this pole dancing group
