I liked it better when there was more of a variety of personalities. This season I feel like Im in the middle of an MTV Real World episode; a high school or college fraternity party.

I agree with Sidecar, It feels more like real world locked in a house! I leave the feeds up but don't watch near as much as in the past! I use here to keep up with most of the goings on in the house! As I watch these people I can't help thinking where did they get these people! I'll play my Wii and leave the feeds up in here and check every once in awhile!

The one thing that I have noticed about myself this season is that I don't feel any pressure to defend.

Do I hate the show and will I stop watching it?

no.

I watch it faithfully (hoping it will get better many nights) I still have my friends over on Wed. night for an eviction party. I still read all about the feeds and all the threads that are involved.

But what is different for me this season is that I have no one or anything that I am passionate about and feel the need to post about or defend non stop as I have had in past seasons.

I miss that aspect of it.

This season, I'm bored. I've only watched the show. I don't even come here to be spoiled. I don't feel strongly about any of the HGs, and could totally care less who wins. Will I stop watching? Only if there is anything else on (since I can record two shows at a time, it'll have to be when the "new season" starts up now that the network writers are back to work).

Like Stacey says... sadly, there ain't no passion.

1) CBS has put it up against AI for 2 of it's 3 eps a wk. I only watch the Sunday show.

2) the couple thing is a huge mistake because it's hard to like someone when you have to include another person that erks you.

3) why couldn't they nom 2 couples & everyone vote to evict 1 female & 1 male - if it split the couples - oh well - just make the remaining 2 be a couple.

4) I would like to see Nat & Alex stay & would like to see Matt & Amanda go. There's no way this will happen & that's why I don't really care much for this season of BB.

I can understand the pairing may be due to them having a shorter season, but for the true BB heads....it takes aways A LOT from the game. There's very little scheming going on as far as gameplay, because they're not playing alone....there's a partner to worry about. Then you've got all this fraternity/sorority hook up mess going on. I know that was the intent, but once again,....it takes away the interest from the game. Another thing i've noticed is these kids pay a lot of attention to when After Dark is broadcasting, therefore they up their antics because they're all looking for a career to come out of this. Josh already said he wanted to act in a soap, while Allison mentions being a talk show host...lol. So these kids are playing up to the camera opposed to just being themselves in this house to play for this $500k. I personally think that takes some interest away from the game. I liked it better when they got used to cameras and just were themselves. But hey Grodner put in 15 20somethings and 1 40something for a reason. I guess you can say they got what they wanted, because this is a wild bunch.

Having said all that.....if BB knew they wanted a shorter season....why not just shorten this cast in half(like 8 Hgs), and let then play the game normally for themselves? Atleast the GAME aspect would be more interesting.

This season does nothing for me either. I've only seen a part of an episode...and then I surfed around while "watching".

CBS should air the show at 8pm on Sun. Mon. and Tues.
I know alot of people watch AI(I don't)but it's the long wait between Wed and Sun that bores me.
Spoiling on the internet only makes me less interested in Sun and Tue shows.Spoiling is a hard habit to break after years of doing it.

In past seasons I have been "addicted" to the show--watching all episodes, and spending hours each day here catching up on all the live feeds and all of the interesting discussion threads. This year...meh. I've watched most of the shows, but don't know that I will continue to. I check in here every couple days, but honestly don't read through most of the threads anymore...not like before.

This cast just doesn't do it for me. I don't mind young and crazy, but none of these cast members seem like they have an intelligent plan going on and their atrocious grammar is starting to wear on me quickly. I don't know how much longer I'm going to hang in with this season...

No one has even posted a live feed today!

I notice that the posts and interest on this board is way down. I agree that there is no one to be passionate about winning. They all seem to be very self centered individuals and they are not that interesting. I am still watching, though. I will not be upset if I miss a show.

It would be best that 2 (or more, please) couples be voted out at a time...that way the show would mercifully end quickly. The casting crew really bombed this time around. All in all a disappointment.

I'm only enjoying this season because I don't really like any of the cast. Usually I have my favorites and am hoping they don't go but these people are dull and mostly annoying. Makes it kinda fun since I couldn't care less who gets the boot!

By far in my opinion this is the WORST season EVER. I give it 2 thumbs down!

I had to cancel the live feed because I can't have my 13 year old daughter hearing the stuff that comes out of the speakers! Last year it wasn't too bad. I can't even watch the DVR'd Showtime feed if she's home even though I do FF through most of it. As for last night's lap dances - Natalie not only pushed the envelope but she darn well ripped it open and cut it into pieces. Someone needs to yell at her, "MATTY IS NOT INTO YOU". She doesn't get it.

I am so over BB. It's not the couples twist that turns me off, but the cast. Oh, for the days of real people and real strangers with somewhat mature personalities. I still watch the shows and periodically view the media clips, but last night just fast forwarded through the boring stuff (which was a lot--like Amanda's use of "Bueno"). I hope the ratings continue to drop and AG & CBS get a clue that this sleaze on a major network in prime time family hour is just not going to work.

I just cancelled the feeds before my free two weeks were up. Last night's sexual romp was the last straw. Totally posed for tv and a very sad grab for attention. Did you see Matt pushing Natalie off him every time she jumped on him?
Realplayer wanted me to sign on for a month at a time for that $14.99, as I told them I was cancelling due to the fact that I thought it would be a short season and I didn't want to pay $40 for 6 weeks. So they must know it is going to be a shorter season or they would have denied it.
I have watched BB every year and this time I think they made a mistake with the couples theme and casting inappropriate people. One made porno and another is a stripper. Everything that happens in the house is aimed at tv exposure and the playing of the game with strategy and cunning is secondary.
I will still watch the show and keep up with this board, but live feeds are done for me. Anything interesting will be on YouTube anyway.

I totally love this season. I am so glad they put people on who aren't huge fans. These people have no clue. They are saying and doing things that if they actually watched the show would not. Finally some free spirits. I rather see people getting naked then the fighting and screaming. The nakedness I find humorous.

Also the last couple of years have been totally predictable with one side of the house against the other. This year the line is only lightly drawn and who knows what these people will do from day to day.

I am not getting so emotionally involved on the characters this year. I don't love or hate anyone. Trying just to see it as entertainment this time around.

This season has made me feel one thing, it's made me feel old.

I'll keep watching because it's there. I really don't care who goes home, who stays or who wins.

It's like a root canal, you know you'll feel much better once it's over.

I must admit that after seeing Amanda faint I am more interested in the show. I am sorry it had to happen, but it appears to have brought out people's true feelings. The men in the house are not as tacky as the women. There are certain women that are taking Amanda's fainting as a way to talk more about her not realizing that the viewers are getting negative reactions to them. The way Allison is always talking about Amanda not being as serious as she was is just plain dumb and Chelsia's comment will one day come to haunt her.

Once you get pass the shock factor this cast has to offer you will realize that this is a great season strategy wise. The real gamers are Allison, Josh, and James and each have capable partners to get them to the end.

I love how Allison/Ryan have turned the votes to save Matt/Natalie. James/Chelsia now realize their plan with Josh/Sharon to keep Amanda/Alex has fallen apart and they are thinking of new ways to approach next week if Josh/Sharon do not win the next HoH. In the meantime, Josh/Sharon have no clue that the votes flipped to save Matt/Natalie.

At first I didn't like the couples aspect, but it's turning out to be a great twist. Alliances have to change week to week in order to play an effective game. I like how winning HoH is a nonfactor this season. In fact, couples that are nominated have more freedom to negotiate than the HoH. Hg's this season realize it's not about making life long friends, but playing the game to win.

This season delivers, both strategy wise and trainwreck worthiness. I also like the fact that no one on this cast is perfect and they all have their flaws.

While I think the concept of the couples twist has grown on me, the casting of this season just seems to continue to amaze me. After hearing of the antics over the weekend, I'm liking this season less and less. Sadly, too, as I've been a BB fan since the very first day they opened the BB house. Thru good (Evel Dick) and bad (Maggie and crew). Unfortunately, while at least there was some good in Maggie's season (I did like Janelle), I ain't seein' much to like in this season.

Does the fact that I still haven't watched Sunday's show indicate anything (and I won't watch tonight's until I watch Sunday's)?

And my little girl is definitely not getting to watch the Live Feeds AT ALL this year.
