Okay I know it's only been one day and I missed the show on wednesday. I've gotten the live feed and I'm starting to know who everyone is...BUT and maybe it's me....But I AM SOOOO BORED watching these folks.

LOL This does not bode well for my possible Live Feed Summary. (Then again maybe it does) This might not last but I haven't gotten attached to anyone yet.

I don't think the Virgin is hot, I don't care about the will-esque guy. The Gay man is nice but I haven't really heard anything from him. The older gent is well YAWN.

Implanta is well plastic...and everyone else seems interchangble.

I'm hoping this will change as the days wear on but ahhh for right now I'm kinda bored....Anyone else feel the same way or am I just the only one?

I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel this way.I am so bored, but will watch a few more episodes. I posted on some board the other day about how upset I was because my live feeds were not working. I am getting my new hard drive tomorrow which will fix the problem... and I'm not even excited.

<<I don't care about the will-esque guy>>

MsS, if you are comparing Josh to Will, I will have to come over there and pound some common sense into you!

Josh is no Will, and it is an insult to even suggest it.

There is absolutly nothing to keep your attention. EVERY conversation is about sex and what they have done and not done. And really enough is enough. I like the HG's but really there needs to be some action. Maybe it's just because it's early in the show and things will pick up but if they don't pick up soon I'm canceling my live feed.

It seems to me that we all felt this way at this time of the game last year...actually we didn't even LIKE anyone in the game and couldn't fathom it getting interesting....I could be wrong...but that is what I remember

Angel I remember that Chill Town formed quickly in the first few days and most of us disliked will and was annoyed by Mike. Also we didn't like Nicole then she went nutso after that so it was interesting.

I stand corrected on the interesting...I guess my problem was I didn't like anyone at the beginning of BB2...except for the eyecandy Hardy..and he didn't say much at the begginning so I thought I he didn't have a personality...

MsSilhouette, go and do something else for a while. Absence will make the heart grow fonder. I think that the build up for BB has maybe gotten too big here at the Clubhouse, so it's bound to disappoint the first few days.

Maybe you need to miss a big catfight to really get that old feelin' back!

I think the most telling way to sum up my feelings is that I went to bed before ANY HG last night LOL. Not sure that has ever happened before.

Telling fact #2 is I got a phone call a few minutes before tonights BB was starting. Rather than say I was busy and hang up I just tossed a tape in. NOT a good sign.

I'm trying to hold out some hope that as we get to know them and they get more into the game things will get more interesting. Of course with Real crashing at least once every 45 minutes it may be hard to get to that point.

Mssilhouette you haven't been watching then because a chill town (sort of) have been formed and Lori already went nutso. :)

I'm glad you posted this Mssil. I don't get the live feeds, but the show just doesn't have that same right out of the gate punch that BB1 & 2 had.

BB1 had Will Mega and Brittney getting into it right from the beginning! Plus, it was a fresh new experience, it had me hooked right from the start.

BB2 we had Chilltown stirring things up right away. There was a PLAN, a definate plan, right from the beginning. Most fans were shocked and outraged at the smugness of it, but it wasn't boring.

BB3 seems to be off to a meandering start. I'm not getting any energy from it. Josh's little scutteling arounds are just a whisper of the last two years. I even asked my husband if I was jaded. He said no, its off to a slow start.

I will continue to watch, however, and being the faithful fan I am, hope for the best.
This new twist with the Vito challange might add some spice, we'll see

Ok, so now I don't feel so guilty.

My thoughts: RealOne has been a disaster and impossible to watch. The live feeds have always been a vital part of my BB experience, of more importance than the TV show. Instead of spending all night watching the monitor, which I had been enthusiastically anticipating, I gave up on seeing more than 30 seconds of the feeds at a time and went to bed early last night. Didn't bother watching today after finding Real was still being annoying. I even considered calling Real to complain, request that the live feeds be disconnected and ask for my money back. I have no sense of who the hgs are and can't recognize half of them yet. Interchangable, indeed.

RealOne seems to be functioning better this evening. I'm hoping as time passes the personalities will become more distinguishable, the claws will come out, there will be an evening or two of alcohol-induced silliness, and I'll happily resume my all night vigils.

You know they are boring when you dont care that your real player crashes again and you definitely know they bore you when you make a thread about rules your form of entertainment.

Twinkle I did call Real today to complain. They said CBS was still working the kinks out of their feeds and the "freezing" occurred when Real's attempts to connect with the CBS server were unsuccessful.

He said they had a LOT of problems last night and CBS was working to correct the problem.

The longer I watch the feeds the more drawn into these people's lives I become. It's hard to care about someone you don't know. When we get to know them we very likely will have a more fervent response to them.

Orgeon, well I'll be outta town for the weekend soooo I'll be out of touch with BB3 for that time. Maybe I'll miss it more then...somehow I don't think so.

I'm watching the show right now and even with everything edited I'm not all the intrigued. I mean I think marcellas (sp) is very witty and intelligent.

Everyone else is still kinda BLAH. I read about lisa going nuts after nomination. And the whole alliance..but even that isn't exactly exciting.

The slime thing looked fun for about 2 minutes. LOL Thank goodness I decided to go with the SuperPass and can watch other stuff.

Oh by the way, I always come here when I'm bored....posting stuff is always fun. TVCH is never boring, BB3 is.

I think part of the problem has also been that when you're watching the live feeds and they start talking about voting/alliances etc. they go to FOTH cam and that has really been annoying.

A lot of the fun in being able to listen to these conversations and get a real feel for what some of the people are like and what they're plotting. Last year I thought it was fun to hear the plots and watch how they actually played out.

my live-feeds kept freezing or i would get voices and the FOTH and then the music. it seemed to go out right when someone was going to give a big hint to someone! it worked well during the make-up and curling iron festivals this morning, however!! and when it showed amy's collection of beauty aids. how can she be out of the house before noon?!

i am wondering why lisa did not pick josh to go after overhearing his conversation with gerry! i knew from the live-feeds who lisa nominated, but watching how the tv episode was edited, someone without the feeds would certainly think josh was one of the two!

I simply want the Amy/Marcellas show on at least two feeds, that does not bore me. The constant "I am an ass man," "What do you call your thingy?" "Can I touch your boobs." talk is a major yawn though.
