Don't get me wrong, I love this board. But BB and the houseguests just aren't giving us much to work with here. How long can we keep rehashing the same stuff? The houseguests are at about a 2 on the Glasgow coma scale and my interest is beginning to wane. I've started spilling my innermost secrets on the "Josh seems Depressed" tell-all thread. I don't want to leave you but I'm feeling as dull as a Big Brother Houseguest.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

Yes, the fat lady IS singing!

Jamie will depart Wed. and no one really cares one way or the other how they divvy up the prize money on Friday!

Boredom has overtaken even the most bored poster!

LOL!

Last week, I posted that, although there would still be moments in upcoming shows, after George's banishment show Big Brother would be anticlimactic.

I think I was right.

I'm with you, Gonna.

They are so boring...and they are probably bored.

They're going to bed earlier than I am.

And they just sit there chatting about nothing.

You know, this has just been too easy of an experience for these people. Now that I think about it, the last three months have been about watching most of these people kill time.

Where's the drama?

I think we are all starting to realize that the show is over and we have to go on to something else.

Whenever I have left something --apartment, house, car, town or job, right before I left, I started noticing things that really bothered me. I have always assumed that this is a defensive mechanism so I don't miss it as much.

Perhaps that is what we are doing here.

yes, I am so excited for it to end. The show itself is really dull. The live feeds have been really dull for quite awhile now. The suspense of not knowing who will win is not that exciting.
And the board, which as always been the most interesting aspect of the whole thing for me, is pretty much drying up in terms of topics. When a good topic comes along it is always a surprise, because there is just not that much to talk about.

I agree with all of you, but after they show Curtis winning the TV tonight, what else can they put on television?? NOTHING........they have truly done nothing in the past few days, I can't even stay awake to post the feeds...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I find myself watching Olympics more and more. I find it more uplifting to watch people with talent and passion compete for the gold. There has been far more amazing moments in these games to entertain me. It doesn't hurt that the US is just cleaning up with the medals, but I have been cheering on athletes from UK, Canada, Russia, and Jamaica as well.

Cassandra leaving really did take the spark out of BB for me, even though I am a Curtis fan. When she was selected to come back to the house, I was even more convinced that the wrong person was banished from the house.

I am looking forward to the new TV season with West Wing, Malcolm in the Middle, X-files, That 70's Show, and Law & Order (no. I am not looking forward to watching "Bette"). Also I am looking forward to the rebroadcast of the 2nd Season of "The Awful Truth" on Bravo. I am going to chill out on Reality TV til Survivor II (which is actually an "adventure based program with interesting real people").

I am going to be wary of any show that Endemol or CBS offers, because they really didn't impress me as knowing what they were doing. I think this forum did more to make the show enjoyable than the producers of the show.

Latearriver - When I leave something (a home, job, etc) I suddenly get very maudlin and think fondly about all the wonderful aspects of it that I foolishly took for granted and didn't take full advantage of. This always makes leaving a difficult and painful process for me. Your way sounds saner.

Deni San - I'm also looking forward to the new season. Especially, West Wing (Who's Been Shot? Who's Been Shot?) of which I was a Late arriver. Awesome show!

Sorry for the O/T post.

I have to agree here. For the past 3 months I was constantly on the live feeds and BBFC. This past weekend I only logged on for the live show.

I have actually gone back to spending all my free time playing The Sims. Watching those house guests are much more fun.

It is like an addiction, that you want to kick but you have to get just one more fix.. just one more and then I will quit, I swear. I can handle it maaaaaaaan, I'll be clean in no time.

It is sort of like the four remaining HGs are stuck in a waiting room in an airport or bus station, waiting for their way out. If you've ever been stuck in a station, you know the feeling - bored, mundane chit-chat, snacks, slipping into brief and unsatisfying naps that only make you more weary than if you hadn't slept at all. tick-tock-tick-tock....

It's been a long and trying experience for them during which they've been watched every moment for 3 months. Even zoo animals get a break but not them.

I admire that they've made it this far but I understand the malaise going on in there right now. Maybe a couple of weeks ago, BB could have boarded up one of the bedrooms so they didn't have as many places to get away from each other and thus avoid interaction.

I have grown fond of them and wish them all well. But I'm sure my obsession is too embedded that I cannot say farewell until they've left the compound so "I'm still in there with them" - tick-tock-tick-tock

Wendy asked, "Where's the drama?" I reply, she's walking out the door tomorrow night.

Kuh...
I think the drama left when Mega and Jordan left.
The melodrama left with Karen and Brit.
The slapstick comedy left with George.
Masterpiece Theatre left with Cass.
Miss USA pageant will leave with Jamie.

Now we are left with a boy band/locker room comedy "Cur-Jo-Ed's World" written by very bored junior high students who think farting is an Olympic sport.


Hope casting for B2 will be more diverse (and I don't mean racially diverse, I mean background and age diversity)

We will all be happy to see Friday come.

Yep! The fat lady as belted out the final number. It is the same old stuff: Eddie is an A$$hole; Curtis/Josh: who is more gay? Jamie is sooo two faced, Did you see/hear Brit (HELLO she was KICKED OUT!), yada, yada, yada

And the house is soooo boring, vulgar, and just god-awful now. I can't believe that some people are actually petioning to get a 2 hour finale. I just want this show to die!

The two most frequently used words on this forum have been LOL and BORED.

If you're bored, find your remote and turn the channel and find a new web site. With millions of web sites out there representing all interests, why do you linger here and talk about how bored you are? Don't you have the ability to find another web site? I find it astounding that so many people say they are bored. To me, it sounds like there's a lot of people out there with short attention spans who can't retain interest in a 3-month long show.

As for me, I'm not bored and am rarely ever bored. There's far too much to do and learn in this world to be bored. I knew the house would be quieter near the end, that's a given, but I still find the show and the video feeds interesting and will be saddened when Friday comes and the show concludes. BB is not over, it's a game - not a movie.

As far as the "bored" people are concerned, they will continue to be "bored" well into eternity and that's long after BigBrother is over. Hope this helps.

Spaz, I disagree on the need for more than a half hour finale show. The banishment shows are always interesting (to me) because of the drama and the emergence of the banished HG and adjustment to getting questions in the Studio.

On the last show, it will take at least half an hour to announce the winners and for them to get out the door and barely make it to the studio. It would be cool to have the third place winner being interviewed while the other two are in a live feed, wondering who won $100K and who won $500K. (I have a feeling that the 2nd place winner will get whisked out of the way for the 1st place winner to take center stage. Have you ever seen beauty pageants at the end - the poor first runner-up gets removed ASAP so they can crown the winner. Even 5th-place runner-up gets a moment in the spotlight but not #2. It's kind of funny on the pageants but I hope #2 on BB gets his due.)

Anyway, we deserve a two-hour show with some retrospective footage and more than a hello to the banished HGs who have returned for the reunion. (If BB was 2 hours long, are we really gonna miss another re-run on CBS that it would replace?)

i'm not bored and I can multitask.. I may be listening to the live feed, going thru the boards, watching olympics on tv (all of the above right now..).. both my computers are running
Seti@home (crunching chunks of data from space, then submitting them to the Seti (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) site and getting another chunk to munch. I also check and respond to email and so on..

But, things are sure winding down.

When we have nothing left to discuss except that there's nothing left to discuss...yes, I'm bored with this now. I keep checking the discussion to see if I missed anything dramatic (a brutal banner, some revelation between HG's, etc.) Alas, I am consistently disappointed.
