Most of these folks are beginning to suffer from increased stress. The toll of being watched 24/7 is really getting to them. I hope BB does something nice for all of them, and soon. They really need a break. A game show is one thing, but the game should not do harm to them, and many of them are showing signs of cracking up.

examples:
-- Josh's over-reaction at getting nommed. Yes, he's hot-headed, but he went entirely off, packing and stuff, and not stopping to think "strategy" whatever that means to Josh.

--Marcie's over-reaction to Josh telling him that the gang of six would have voted him out if Gerry hadn't of vetoed him. The poor guy went on a crying jag and was near hysterical.

--Chiara's extreme anger over being called a b*tch by Josh. Wow! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

--Chiara's passive-aggressiveness of nomming Roddy. She is holding something in, and when she lets it out--i'm glad i'm not in that house.

there's more, (like, even Jason is getting snappy, lol).

It is scary watching people disintergrating right before my eyes, and not being able to do anything to help them. Last year it got so bad with Nicole I stopped watching--I just couldn't bear it.

Yeah Have you noticed they aren't having luxury challenges every week like they did last year, they only had the Luau challenge and after that it has only beem America's Choice. Last year the had AC and luxury comps. I think that could help, it would also give them something more to do.

they have it easy compared to the other years.

i think they are getting stressed due to forced realization of who each and every one of them are inside. instead of facing themselves, they try to run from themselves. this is why they resort to a pecking fight. they fear their own mistakes and imperfections and find it easier to find faults in others.

now tear me to shreds so more light may be shed upon myself.

Maybe a field trip to a psych ward would give them all a break---no offense to the psychos here.

Yeah, they could send in hookers and workingboys for the HGs to play with ... oh, and a alterboy for Jason to talk to

Fuzzybear, none taken. :)

Actually the whole point of the show is watching how they handle stress, paranoia and "twists".

The houseguests need to help themselves on this one. They need to organize something that will alleviate the stress for a short while and get them all working together and having a good time. Ab class and cards just doesn't cut it.

They dont have luxury challenges anymore because the veto challenge basically replaced it

The only luxury challenges they had were the hot tub one and the luau

You know, I had been wondering myself why they don't have luxury competitions anymore. They had both luxury and veto competions at first. I wonder if it's a matter of not enough time in the show, or what.

The HGs were recently talking about the previous luxury prizes of past BB shows like the helicopter ride and the trip to the Emmys. I wonder if they've even noticed yet that they aren't getting these things anymore.

Fuzzybear, I don't count Duckball cuz I don't know what it is. Is it like Calvinball?

I say send in Will Mega from BB1 to do a personal massage on each of the HGs. I still remember when he went in on a blindfolded Eddie McGee as part of the luxury competition.

I think they need to get rid of the boring food competitions, and replace them with luxury competitions. I personally could care if they eat pb&j or steak. I can see it having a bad effect on some of the HG's... especially Danielle who has been on the grouchy pb&j diet twice now! She has held up better than I would I am sure. The luxury competitions are much more entertaining and I get to pull for my favorites to win something fun.
Look, I know these people are competing for a lot of money AND I know that the people on Survivor got only rice (if even that)... but the Survivor cast was playing for a cool million, not half, and these people chose to be on BB not Survivor. Plus it is only going to get boring if the HG's keep going down this crazy path they are headed on towards the loony bin. The signs of stress are showing in their sleeping habits and attitudes.
I think that the evicted HG that is picked to return could brighten up the house with stories of paradise (I said could... it could make them jealous too).
I just hope they do something to keep them going in that house!
Hey! I just thought of another idea. What about on BB1 when they had a HG (I think Josh) change the potato clock back an hour every night? I donno, maybe that is a bad idea to screw with the HGs much more!

Isn't the luxury challenge tied in with the eviction ... Get voted out and win yourself a out of country vacation. I wonder if part of this twist was to see if any of the HG would want to escape the house for awhile and THINK they could also come back
