I am not liking it either, and the problem is that if you can find any redeeming quality in one of them you can't stand their partner

It is like eating a good cookie and then throwing up a little in your mouth

I haven't watched a single show, and after reading only a couple threads here, I have even less curiosity about it. Allison has truly killed a show that I've watched religiously since season 1.

This season is actually very fun...I am enjoying it...the partner twist is excellent. They should do that again.

I am actually enjoying the live feeds, this group seems to do more. I don't remember many groups really using all the stuff, like the pool table. And it seems like they are in the pool and jacuzi more. I think last season they just sat around the smoking area all the time.

The show is okay, just doesn't really draw me.

They haven't had a pool table before. Nor have they had massage tables or saunas. I don't know the thinking other than that it's winter and it may rain more and they can't be out in the sun/pool, but the hamsters were given a lot more stuff to play with this season.

I keep going back and forth. I liked last nite's BBAD cuz it was interesting watching the nominees jockey for position to stay in the house. Allison's non-stop talking was infuriating but I couldn't stop watching, like driving past a car accident or a fire.

The couples thing is sorta growing on me cuz the hgs are really working with their partners now (except Sheila and Adam, the couple from hell)but I don't like losing the one I like with the one I don't so that keeps me equivocating.

This cast is very one-note and I think if they ever want to do pairs again, it should be like on the Amazing Race with a wide variety of combinations.

This "love" match seems to be a cheap way to try to get the couples to have sex to make the show seem more exciting.

Took it off the Season Pass on TiVO yesterday. Also decided that it was inappropriate for my 11 year old son to continue watching it. So,,,,,it's other fares for us. No more BB. (I Used to like it! Lost me last season!)

I thought they've had a pool table since BBAS(7)

They had one in BBAS, but I don't think they still had it for BB8.

I watched one episode, read the live feeds a couple of times and knew it wasn't for me. It's simply not enjoyable anymore.

First season ever I've not watched. I tried one episode and couldn't get into it. Last night we caught it just at the HOH comp and the way they were celebrating I assumed they really needed to win and it reminded me of tvclubhouse, so here I am. I think if you don't have feeds it really does change the viewing experience. Last season was the first year I didn't get the feeds and I watched the show, but wasn't really that bothered if I missed an episode. Again, no feeds for me this year and my BB addiction seems to have been finally cured.

I have watched and had the feeds since day 1 and I am loving this year just like all the rest. This is my first year to not have a favorite to root for but plenty of people I love to hate.

Makes watching them not be able to eat, no hot water, and drinking out of bowls much more fun.

I like BB better being on in the summer because I live in Florida and it is to hot in July and August to do much anyway but this time of year it is to nice to be inside a lot.

well it is different......

there is no lack of drama or manipulation......

I would have prefered they didn't play as couples though. It seems to have stunted the game in some way. I can't explain it.

Hmmm...trying to find something good to say about this season. Ok...

I find it is appropriately named:

"Til Death do you part"

Yep, me and Alison Grodner have split up - she killed BB for me and I am now departed as a viewer!

I start to like it more when there are fewer people to keep track of. I also enjoy it when I don;t really like anyone inparticular. I thought Allison has some real good potential and was doing some good stuff until her ego took over and she had to let everyone know how much she knew and how much she could control things. Could not just sit back on the side lines any longer. Big mistake most houseguests make.
I must same there always seems to be something going on when I tune in. Kind of a fun season without being too involved. There is noone on this cast I would give a second thought about when the season is over.

I have saved the shows on my DVR and watched a couple. But I did not get the live feeds this season. I find I am bored with the entire show. I think last season just killed it for me. I was so disgusted with it that I just made up my mind not to invest so much time and emotion on it this season. I am glad I did.

I do have one question?

Are the shows this season as badly edited as they were last season? Last year if you had not seen the live feeds, you got a completely distorted view of what went on. Is it that bad this season?

Allie...it's like that every year.
We never saw Boogie's awful rant against Janelle.
We never saw Maggie laughing about leaving poop in the HOH toilet.

The show is entirely different from the Live Feeds and always will be. You can't whittle a week's worth of activity down to three half hour segments and expect it not to be very edited.

I am not enjoying this season at all - the feeds and boards are filled with negativity. I watch this show because it normally provides entertainment, some laughs and OMG what were they thinking moments but not so much this year. To me it's not even a game anymore but who can be the nastiest vile person and each week and almost each day it changes. No one to really get behind that I can relate too. Do I want an ex gay porn star who thinks biking around the country on $100 is a noble cause or a stripper to win. I am so sad that instead of watching everyday folks that you meet in your life share something of themselves we get T&A 24/7. Makes me even long for S6 and allstars.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Initially, I did not really enjoy the season -- I think I didn't really like the couples concept and I too had a hard time keeping track of everyone. And although I have not watched the feeds as much, I still keep them up on my desktop while I am in the office and if I hear some sort of commotion, will pay closer attention.

And as for the cast, I will say, I don't know that many "normal" people that would be willing to give up their daily lives, even for just a couple of months, even to potentially win good money. Not being able to read a book or see a movie or play with your kids/dogs/partner or know what was happening in the world, or not to enjoy any other hobby you may have would be really tough. So it seems to me the "odd balls" are the ones that seek such a experience.

Regardless, I am a fan, and most likely will remain so. And I so love TVClubHouse!
