Even my hubby is hooked! We laughed almost constantly for the entire hour tonight. Even the challenges are hipper and more interesting!

I have to hand it to Arnie & Co. this year. I think they're finally getting it all down to a (helluva fun) science!

And I managed to type that without including spoilers for those who haven't seen yet.

Did I mention Josh is a rat fink sneak? LOL!

I agree!! This group is more exciting and more attractive than BB1 HG; yet more likeable and personable as a whole than BB2 HG.

The goop contest was great!

We roared laughing when the first group picked their bedroom and missed the really nice one. The goop in the pants was also a riot. Amy knocking back the beer and filling up her bladder and Gerry's edited in comments about her poor impulse control was a giggle. Josh was soooo funny in the dr talking about how smart and weasely he was. Marecllas taking to his bed in a snit reminded me of Nicole. WE ARE HOOKED.

Am I the only one not loving this year?? I'm working hard to keep an open mind, but can't say I'm getting into it as I have in years past. There just haven't been a whole lot of interesting conversations that I've seen to date. I do agree this is the most "attractive" group...and I think that was the main reason they were chosen. But Arnie's "eye candy" doesn't make it interesting to watch. And sorry, none of them are a Hardy. Of course Hardy was no Curtis. (I always did love a man with wit).

Lurk - It seems like to me the best "game playing" has been in the late night.

I agree Lurk. The feeds are boring me. Even the game playing talks aren't that interesting outside of keeping track of the deals. They generally are not interesting conversationalists. Amy is okay but she is just one person. I miss humor most of all. So far they are not as amusing as 1 and 2. I'm hoping it improves.

I agree, this is the best. Does anyone remember who the first three couples out of the tree were?

Well actually Roddy is very intelligent and aritculate. Unfortunately at this point most of the conversations are with Josh and Eric and so the level of conversation sinks to their intellegence level or should I say their gutteral(sp) tendancies.

First three out:

Amy/Gerry, Eric/Chiara, Josh/Lisa

The feeds are very boring. I'm glad that I signed up for the trial, because I'm thinking about cancelling. If things get good, I can always sign up again.

I'm feeling like most of these people are pretty nasty. There was plenty of sex talk last season, but not in this graphic detail. And not ALL the time. They sound so sleazy. The only interesting breaks are when they discuss strategy, and even that is getting old. It's the same people saying the same things. Don't they get tired of themselves? :)

I don't mind hearing from Marcellas, Amy, Danielle, Jason, or Gerry. But they don't seem to talk as much as the others - and if they do, they get interrupted. Plus even they aren't as interesting as most of the BB2 people anyway. I know it's early yet, but I honestly don't see anything as fun as a Kent and Bunky Show, or Will being goofy, or people haven't random outbursts like Monica or Nicole happening. There will be petty little tiffs and nasty comments, I'm sure, but somehow it's kind of boring when most of the people involved are shallow, dull, repetitive, self-centered idiots.

I am enjoying the TV show, though. So far. :)

Hey anyone watching the feeds for the past 45 mins? what is that beeping sound?? anyone know?? :D

Allow me to clarify: The on air show is better than the previous years. Editing is tighter and more interesting. Contests are meaner right out of the gate.

However, the feeds are "killing me". There's only so much lizard cam, staffer's feet, FOTH, monotonous music one can take as a LFP. It's irritating to type that crap out, and it's disappointing to the readers who think that they're missing crucial moments. These foo's better recognize and woof up the excitement! Any Arnie spys out there: take heed!

Which is why I traded in my afternoon BB3 LF headache for a quiet afternoon of catching up on balancing the books and paying the bills and an evening at the opening of Reign of Fire. Maybe we can send one of those dragons to the BB house! ;o)

I think it'll get better 24/7 once two or three people are out and they realize "hey I came here to WIN! It's awwwwwwwwwwwn!".

Blurb:

OH, BROTHER
Believe it or not, CBS's premiere of Big Brother 3 edged Fox's summertime smash American Idol in the ratings Wednesday night. Brother averaged 9.2 million viewers to Idol's 9 million. But among adults 18-49, both shows — which won't air head-to-head after this week — tied with a 4.1 rating.

Not much to go on for a whole season, but the "eye candy" factor seems to be helping. I remember being on here last year and people were complaining none stop that BB2 sucked compared to BB1. I am sure ina couple weeks when things start to shake up a bit, and people start getting kicked out that this will prove to be the best BB ever.

Movielover, I haven't been watching the feeds lately, but I'm guessing that it's the dryer (?).

Muse- I am with you- about the shallow selfcentered idiots- and unfortunately unless some of their puppets get wise I fear we'll be left with them and noone else. Looks like they plan to pick off the interesting players one by one. There are five of them that are way too much alike for me.

WHy are the people that play cards all day the "interesting ones"? WHy are the people that are never going to flirt with each other, have no sexual tension, or never have fun stories to tell the "interesting ones". These so called interesting ones can mainly talk about their children, their divorces, or about.... I can't think of what else they talk about. Please oh please let this years "CT" do well and be around. THe best final four would be Chaira, Lisa, Eric, and Roddy.

With all the constant sleaze talk, it feels like the worst BB season yet, not the best.

This morning there was good conversation between Gerry and Lori, talking about how to listen to one another, what they are learning, people they respect, etc.

As soon as the slime crowd gets up, the cameras stay focused on them and any real discussions are lost, because they only know how to talk about sex and their "beautiful" bodies.

The card players are not always boring. Amy and Marcellous can yuck it up pretty well while playing cards. They have stories to tell. They just aren't grabbing at each other constantly.

Remember the days when we could watch the challenges on the live feeds? Remember when they would encourage games that promoted discussion. Or in BB 1 when they had a "topic" of the evening?
Or the week-long challenges like the potato clock sabatoge? Yep, I think that was more fun and more entertaining. That challenge also made great tv, so it wasn't just the feeds that were less boring.

Here's hoping this crowd has some kind of epiphony and realize how tacky they are coming across.

I am sure ina couple weeks when things start to shake up a bit, and people start getting kicked out that this will prove to be the best BB ever.

I agree Keiffer..I remember last year that people were bored at the begining.. I will continue to watch and hope that it'll get more interesting..there are just too many in the house right now for us to see everything that is actually going on ..and everyone is still getting the feel of the others..

I wonder if peoples initial reation to the show is because they 'hyped' themselves up before the season started that it's sort of anti-climatic..

I'll wait a few more weeks and see how it goes..I am sure there will be plenty that I'll love to hate.. and I love to hate them..

Keiffer- I can't think of a worse scenario! Is bodybuilding and narcissism so much better than those card players with children? They are too much alike...I'd like a few of each myself, that's all. I suppose it could be interesting to watch them turn on each other...but what bothers me the most is if they've figured it out now and it goes down just their way. BORING!

I listened this morning to Gerry, and Lori talking. And this great conversation included a breakdown of each otheir divorces, and stories about their children, like Gerry talking about his son who played footbal. Again we got to hear Lori going on about her emotional cycle of being nomminated, and her talking with Josh about it.

Weird how two people can hear the same convo and get two different things from it. Myself perhaps because I am not married with children perfer the younger crowds stories of wildest moments, college experiences, and dating lifes.

As for me- well you know from my other thread that i definitely want the wild stories too! (Unedited please). I'd like to see some sexual tension and some hook ups too.I just want some diversity.I'd like some of the differences that Danielle/Amy/Gerry/Marcellus bring. And that conversation this morning was about three times too long! (Hey-they are in a pretty intense situation with nothing else to do...)

Which part of the show do you find interesting...The butt biting...The guy asking the girls to sit on his face...Talk about sexual harassment!!!. In the real world these boring..abnoxious woman abusers would be social misfits. Yet...here it is viewed as some childish foreplay. Does BB finds butt biting and sexual harrassment..acceptable behavior. Ongoing discussions about...farts...shaving the family jewels....give me a break.

I think they are going for the ratings. And we may lose the show we love in the process.
