Ok, I have been trying to be really patient the last few days, but, I think I am at the end of my ropes now. All these people do is talk about the stupid game andd I am really fed up with it. GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO DO ALREADY! And just my two cents, RODDY IS TROUBLE, in my opinion. Maybe they should work on getting rid of him next, he has worked his way down to Josh's level and I can't take it.

Ok, now I feel better. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

That's a switch. I always got impatient when they DIDN'T talk about the game. I get bored with their other conversations. I guess it all depends on what part of the BB experience draws you in. For me it's the strategy.

I'm with you CurlyQ - and the last hour alone has been fascinating!

Let me get this straight - here is how Kiki's big mistake of deciding to vote to evict Lisa becomes public:

Kiki tells Roddy, Roddy tells Jason, Jason tells Marcellus who tells Dani! And we were all worried that Dani wouldn't find out in time to talk some sense into Chiara! LOL !! We should have known that NOTHING remains a secret for long in this house!

Can't wait until Thursday...I will be getting no sleep at all!

Sure beats talking about all the guys Chi had sex with and Roddy's pontifications.

It's been a heavy few days of wheeling and dealing because the vote is going to be so close and so crucial, unlike the ho-hum evictions of the past three weeks, which were more exicting on an emotional level (A fight every week? Now that's good tv!). I like it myself--hopefully unpredicatble until the last minute.

Strategy is one thing, but I hate switching feeds and hearing the same crap on every feed, at any given time of the day. I tuned in this morning, 4:30am BB time, to find Roddy and Josh strategizing, then a few more times throughout the day, to find Roddy and/or Chiara, Mar. and Jason at it. I know its inevitable, but the constant is too much.

Wt - ya that's why I liked the Aussie BB so much - the "boy band" they had was so fun to watch..

and their week long training for a Circus challenge - learning to walk on stilts was the coolest thing to watch, the boys teach each other and stuff

and then them raising their 'mechanical' babies lol that was too funny (the baby would act just like a real baby..needed feeding and changing and love and attention and all that)

and then they had to make plaster paris life size sculptures of each other

there was always alot going on in that house and it was fun to watch and report on.

I'll admit the intensity of the strategizing in the US BB house this year is mind boggling it'd be like playing a 24/7 chess game for 3 months lol - and if your a true chess player um well you know how draining even a few good games can be :)

I'm interested and fascinated with the strategies and such in the US BB house this year - but I agree it's sometimes too much and too confusing lol.

FYI they were not allowed to talk about their nominations AT ALL - not even a slight hint.. in the OZ BB - and that extreme is as bad I think as this current 24/7 strategy talk.

In a way the OZ BB players had nothing to do with the game - they were like basially just a circus act for us to watch.

There should be some way to do a happy medium eh? Perhaps say anything whatsoever relating to nom's or voting can only be discussed between eviction day and the new HOH getting selected... that would be good :) Once someone gets HOH there would be NO strategy talk allowed until after the next eviction lol. (Happy medium)

But I'll tell you what the puzzle days of BB I man those were friggen boring lol - if they are going to give them activities they should be very stimulating fun ones like... stilt walking ... karokee contest (made up songs only...)

I liked the Marathon dance of BB I (they had that in the OZ BB too but something was lacking cant remember what I think they let them sleep at night or something lol)

No..They'll stop talking about the game about 7:30 bb time when I actually get home from work to watch the feeds (can't watch them at work)..they will then pick up and talk about the game as soon as I turn off the feeds and go to bed..in the mean time we'll see lisa and chiara grooming their men..have abs class..dinner..little bit of sex talk and maybe we'll find out what type of candy bar they all love..but rest assured..they do talk about stuff other then the game..

We haven't seen much of this from the last two games. There was some last year but most of it was Hardy and Nicole. They tried to talk to Will but truly felt he was too stupid to get it...lol
I don't really remember seeing any of this happening in the first season and the reason IMO is that no one really had to take the heat for what they did since all they did was nominate.
The POV has opened up a whole new way to play the game and forces them to scratch and claw. I try to look past all of that and focus on the way people react given the situation they are in. I find it soooo interesting to watch the almost gang mentality that people take on when one group pits itself against another and then internal strife vs seeing faults of others and not of yourself when doing the same things. The ostrization of someone and inclusion when they have something you want, however verbalizing to others that you still hate the guy, and not seeing how that makes you look to the person you are telling this to. The trust, and honesty issues also baffle me. They lie and are dishonest and yet don't think that will be held against them because it's a game, but when in the position of "on the block" all of a sudden it's so personal. I find it facinating...

Whew, I thought I was going to get bashed big time here tonight for starting this. I know they need to strategize, but, give them something to do as a group. I think that might help them in learning a little bit about each other. Just when you think you have it figured out, they are backstabbing each other. And yes, that makes it interesting, but rather boring day after day.

I do find this year there is alot more bashing of the players as opposed to the last 2 years, and maybe thats cuz we don't really know them all that well? Just another thought.

Yeah, and can you imagine how they feel??!!! I mean, that is just about all they have to talk about. That's the only thing on their minds. They are bored out of their gords and they have nothing to do except analyze and over analyze their own moves and everyone elses. Not to mention they have no where to run and no one to talk to except each other. LOL...I think at this point thy don't care to know anything else about one another. But I do have to say, personally, I do like to watch them plot, lie, manipulate, and get stressed. What great entertainment. They are like lab rats running around in a tube.

Maybe they should MAKE them use the POV! Now that would be interesting. Didn't give this much thought, so, what do you think? I thought Chiara would use it, but Roddy had alot to do with that. I guess we all sit tight and wait till Thursday.

They did give them weekly challenges the first year and I think that helped. They were also able to sing, and it helped them pass the time. Music is a topic that can be discussed by all age groups.

I agree that these people are becoming obsessed with the strategies of the game..if you call them strategies..they dont have enough to do..

It's way better than last year though, playing cards All day long!
We all hated that too!
The animals, first year the dog, second the pig, this is the year of the Lizard!
It's like a new Chinese holiday!

I enjoy all the talking but I get so dang confused!
I'm just watching to see who's head blows up first! LOL

Wtrrup: "Maybe they should MAKE them use the POV." Good idea, Wtr ~ the POV would be a good place to add another twist since so many of them don't have the balls to use like Gerry did.

Wtruup2, while I agree with your thoughts, I doubt it will happen because this game isn't for the LF viewers.

ASP needs to fill 44 minutes of video three times a week for the 8-10 mln TV viewers. The internet people are so few, relatively, be be more a pain in the butt than an important consideration.

Sad, but true. Dollars rule, and the dollars come from the advertisers on the TV show, not us.

It would be interesting if the person holding the POV did not use it, that person would get to keep it and use it any week they want to. However if the holder of the POV won HOH or was nominated a new contest would have to happen.

I like all the strategy talk, but it can get a little mind bending. I can't imagine what it is like to live in the house and keep it all straight! I too think the houseguests need something to do, some sort of challenges that last more than a few minutes. That way, they can get a break from the boredom and maybe release some of the stress of strategizing. It will be funny when the new "twist" comes into play. Just when the houseguests thought they had it all figured out, their world ( and strategies) are going to get seriously messed up. Woo!! I can't wait!! I hope it (the twist) is a good one!!! Think about how the new twist in survivor (when they switched people to other tribes) really messed up the game for some people........

I started watching BB because of the human interactions. The strategizing and competition is interesting on a certain level, because it reveals a great deal about the people involved. At least, that's how I felt last year. This year it has gone overboard.

It would be nice to see some people enjoying their time in the house. They seem either bored or stressed/angry all the time and that's not fun to watch, IMHO.

I watched OZ BB1 and BB2 and it was very entertaining because I felt like I got to know the hamsters, but the game aspect of it was frustrating. Like Whit said, there needs to be a balance between strategy and fun. Either force them to work together somehow or give them a big party so they can all let go for just a little while.

They give me a headache with this constant skulking around.

I usually don't watch wedneday nights. Now I remember why. The votes are in and there is NO strategy talk.
