I am so pissed! I agree with you all. Where was our Brit Josh reunion? Why didn't we get to see Josh and Eddie reunited with the other houseguests? I Want A Reunion show with these clips and everyone back in the house together talking about "the experience". By the way all the houseguest looked great I was loving every one of them. Someone who was in the audience please give us the details.....

The real show is going on right now. We didn't get to see enough of the reunion part. I'm sad about that. I really want to know what is going on now. Oh listen to me....this is withdrawal speaking. I'm going to Ca. and stalk 'em. :)

How did Josh and Brit greet each other? That was their only big story line. Odd they wouldn't show their reunion.

Brit greeting Curtis was very satisfying. Curtis was my pick for winner so I really liked the time they spent with him. I think that friendship will endure.

sigh.......it's over.

"BB was not a top rated show like Survivor...BUT, WE ALREADY KNOW HOW SURVIVOR ENDS....we saw that 2 hr show just weeks ago!..we can remember!..."

That's our opinions here. But in reality, RERUNS of the SURVIVORS are getting higher ratings than any LIVE SHOWS by BB. I DO PRAY AND HOPE THAT THIS LAST BIG BROTHER SHOW WILL RATE HIGHER THAN THIS SURVIVOR FINALE REPEAT.

Hey folks, Phantommenace indicated that there is going to be a party after the show (at un-named bar at time of his posting), where all the HGs,families, Julie, and the BB crew will be in attendance.

Any of you LA posters going to try and get to it?? If so, would you be willing to report the happenings later???

Banish_George, Survivor reruns were much lower rated than the BB shows earlier that night. Check zap2it.com. That is why I am so pissed. Josh & Eddie deserved more air time than what they got.

WRONG, Banish_George.

BB beat Survivor reruns every night.

I agree that there should have been a longer finale, but you guys are LUCKY. My cable went out at 8:25, during Curtis' interview. I screamed at the TV, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I ran to the live feeds, but they aren't the same, especially with a 56k connection. It never came back on, either...so all I saw was what they showed in the house. I was really mad, I want to phone my cable company and yell at them!

I remember seeing a clip of the ending of one of the European shows. When the winner left the house and walked down the walk, there were fireworks or sparklers of some type going off on either side of him. So I really expected some great dramatic exit and was totally disappointed in how the ending was set up.

I liked Julie's final lines on the steps -- something like, "They lived. You watched." Too bad that her first lines practically got drowned out. Those lines should have been done as a voiceover, not a live standup.

And what's with not showing us Josh's exit, too? Big mistake.

Back to the drawing boards.

Maybe they could have at least made this a 90 minute show, and devote 30 min. each to the last 3. I think Josh was shafted the most, but I doubt he'll complain. I'd have liked to have seen Josh and Eddie do as Curtis did, come in to studio, sit with the banished HG's and such. Would have been interesting to see how Jordan and Mega would have reacted to Eddie. Not to mention what Eddie would have thought of George's outfit.

My household feels cheated, too! WE'RE the ones who watched every program faithfully. WE'RE the ones who spent money to banish or vote for the HGs. WE should have been given more BB and NOT a lame Survivor rerun. :(

The fact is, it's over, it was a fun ride, and there is NO use complaining about it!!! Be happy for everything they DID give us!

Clockwatcher, that really sucked. Too bad going to your local cable company and dancing on their face won't bring it back. Do you know anyone who may have taped it??

It sucks to have your cable!

Dianali, I guess that's partly because it was still light out in California when the show ended. It's hard to do drama when it's a bright beautiful sunny day. No problem in those "puny" European countries that only take up one time zone. :)

Well, I just vented to CBS.com, not that it will do an ounce of good. I know its over, but I feel like I was left hanging. I wanted to see them ALL together one last time. You can't tell me CBS couldn't pull one more hour together. I think a reunion show is out of the question; Jordan didn't look too thrilled to be there. I guess we will watch the Early Show Monday for a final 5 minutes with "our new friends."
Best of luck to all of them and thanks to all of you for all your hard work keeping this board up and running. Till next time..............

Week ending 9/24
Mon. BB 7.9 vs. Svr 5.8,6.4
Tue. 8.0 vs. 5.2,5.4
Wed. 9.7,9.6 vs. 6.3,5.5
Thu. 7.6 vs. 4.7,4.4
Fri. 6.2 vs. 4.8,5.4
Sat. 6.7,6.9 vs. 4.4

Nothing to write home about, but better than Survivor reruns. Olympics damaged of course, about 25%.

I'm not saying which show I think was "better." Ours was more real, political, for me.

john, no it wasn't josh who got shafted the most-it was we fans!

he is a hundred grand richer, and he is actually EXPERIENCING the reunions.

I think CBS thinks that they did show Josh's reunion. His family joined him in the house.

(That's not what we really wanted to see. We wanted to see him with all his chicks!)

2nd place finisher never gets any coverage...

someone predicted this would happen a few days ago, based on experience with pagents. Since once they announce #2 you know #1, err?

Kelley Wigglesworth on Survivor was lucky she got that snake and rat speech. :)

I agree with everyone here the last show tonight was the worst. I could have done without all the host scenes. She got more time hogging the camera then Eddie, Josh and Curtis combined. REALLY BAD FINALE CBS BOOOOO!!! :-P
Do you think people tuned in to Big Brother to watch Julie Chen??
Summary of finale:
Julie: blah blah blah blah blah BLAH BLAHblah BLAH
blah Blah bLAh blah blah blah...........finaly--
Curtis: comes out of house reunites with other guests Approximately 2 minutes then back to....
Julie: blah BLAHBLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBLh blah BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAHBLAHBBlah blahblah blahblah blah blahblah blah blah blah blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahblah blah blahb until mercifuly ...
Josh and Eddie: Josh 1 minute Eddie 2 minutes Josh leaves, then 5000 commercials, Eddie on couch by himself with winning paper in his hand.
Julie: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Finaly Eddie goes out side, about 1 minute of outside reaction and reuniting of HG's unbeleivably it's back to...
Julie -blah blah blahblah blah nobody could hear her any way. good. another 30 seconds of HG's and the end. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BAD COVERAGE!!!

Dianali, I believe you're referring to the Finale for the UK-BB which I happened to catch the tail-end of. It was held between 12-1 a.m. their time and it sounded like all of London was awake with fireworks. I expected more of a finale for Burbank, but then BigBrother is far more popular in Europe than in the States currently.

I thought our Finale was rather wierd. I would have rather been updated on the former HGs than to hear the questions they were asked. I detected some friction amongst the HGs. I had thought more time would have been given to Eddie and Josh than Curtis. I had expected to see Curtis, Josh and Eddie all leave the house as usual. Not so. How wierd. I am glad; however, that I got to see all the behind-the-scene footage of the control room, the face of one of the people behind BB's voice and the restricted camera areas. That was good.
