One of the best things about this Big Brother (in my opinion) is the truly secret alliance between Dani & Jason. I just realized last night that in seasons past, someone who supports other house guests would have flown a banner, long ago, saying something like "Ja is Playing: secret Ja & Da alliance" and ruined EVERYTHING...

A banner would have also been flown and revealed the twist and ruined the surprise. I like the lack of banners.

I liked the banners and think they added the one element Shapiro could not control. That alone made them worthwhile. Kept Shapiro on his toes as well.

I wish we had them this year too.

There have been banners flown. I will try to get you the site address that lists them.

Shapiro suffers from the same control issues as Rod. He is missing the fun a little viewer chaos can throw in. :-) Funny how America is supposed to be most known for its freedom and individual voices yet our country's BB gives us the least amount of public voice.

Cnd -- what good is a banner the HGs are forbidden to see?

At first I was really upset that there were not going to be any banners this year, but now I am gald. Then banners take the houseguests' focus away from the game. I can remember how crazy Nicole got from the banners from Jeff. I believe it affected how she played the game. They are paranoid enough as it is without outside influence, it just confuses them.

I personally miss the banners, but each year the game is being setup differently. Here is one website that talks about the banners that have been flown:

If I read that site correctly, only one banner has flown, complaining that HGs can't look at banners. What a waste of money!

At first, I thought no banners was a bad idea, but now I recognize that it's kept some of the strategies in the house from being revealed too quickly, and I love it!
