IT WAS GENERALLY A CLIP SHOW! A CLIP SHOW! I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS FROM THEM! WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE COMPRESSED THE HOH COMPETITION TO AT LEAST A HALF HOUR! THEN QUICKLY EDIT THE NOMINATIONS, AND THE FOOD COMPETITION!

Thanks for the tip. I will be skipping the PST show tonight. I hate all the recaps they do on the regular shows. A whole show of recaps is a real bore.

And I missed "The Munsters" for nothing. :(

Yep...recaps from week one. I kept watching for the highly touted "never before seen footage" and it consisted only of the HOH competition. Plus they left out the whispered conversations which preceded the ceding of the HOH comp to Amy.

I was rather bored and ready for the show to be over.

I really didn't like the show at all tonight. Things I found MOST annoying about tonight's show:

- seeing that pb bikini pageant AGAIN
- seeing that Lisa/Eric romance pillow talk/dinner AGAIN
- Gerry's "My soul is not for sale" speech YET again
- Danielle saying in the DR that she chose to throw the HOH comp, it sounded like sore loser talk to me

They must have so much material that people without the feeds have not seen and yet the show old stuff over and over (or have I watched taped episodes of the show too much?)

I was disapointed too. I guess only Arnie must see something "never before seen" every time he watches his favorite clip of the PB bikinis.

I was very disappointed too. And with no more episodes until Wednesday -- they gypped us. They should have had noms today and shown that. The Saturday show usually shows noms and AC. We not only didn't get our usual fill this week, but we have to wait until Wednesday (well, tv viewers have to wait until then) to find out:
1) who is nommed
2) who got veto
3) if they used veto
4) food competition (which occurred today)
5) songs by sheryl crow
6) usual clips, storylines
But, I am just a BB junkie -- they can treat us badly, I'll still watch. I am so ashamed ....lol

No, there was definitely some never before seen footage. Not a whole lot but there was some. There was footage of Josh making Marcellus cry and Chiara chewing out Josh, extended coverage of the Lori/Dani/Gerry's pee hands fight, the houseguests talking about the cameras, extended coverage of the shaving cream bikinis (including an overhead shower cam shot), discussion of Operation Revolving Door, and for all you Gerry fans a montage of houseguests other than Gerry plucking their nose hairs, touching their breasts, squeezing zits and farting.

Re the last bit, I know a lot of you wanted to see tape of others' disgusting habits, but I'm not sure if this had the effect you wanted. Personally, I find a person like Eric pausing and knowingly and purposefully farting to be horrifically funny, whereas someone like Gerry walking through the kitchen and just letting a few go without even stopping tracks not. Maybe I'm 12.

I quite liked this episode. It interspersed the HoH competition with scenes nicely.

Poor Lisa. When she talked in the DR about getting out of the HoH competition it was clear she had been crying heavily, which we know from the LFP that it was about Eric.

Well, I'm glad I got to see the show tonight since last night's show was blocked here and there is no way I can stay awake til 2AM. However, I agree with Wcv63 that I was very disappointed, waiting for the whispers in the tub between Jason, Lisa and Amy to see if it would clarify what was said......and they showed us none of it!!! Drats!!!

Maybe they thought that the ratings would not be that great tonight since it was on Friday. I bet alot of the usual gang missed it tonight. I liked bits and pieces and I had missed the show with the food competition so I enjoyed seeing that. Dani is quite the story teller!

As I mentioned in the other thread, the main purpose for this show became to hook new viewers, given that the last two shows were the highest rated yet.. Also, since it was at the half way point, and they were introducting someone that needed a "recap" it worked in their favor.. I have always hated the survivor recap episode, but I thought they did a pretty good job this time, since they used the HoH contest as a common thread through the episode, and did include some stuff I hadn't seen before..

It was the highlights show - today (or yesterday) is the halfway point, survivor did the same thing the last coupl eof years.

I am glad to see they all were BSing about ORD.

Well you know, maybe the footage didn't seem new because it was seen on the feeds, talked about on the boards, and archived some time ago.

I could have done without the T&A. Peanut butter and shaving cream bikinis do not excite me nor do two girls showering together and acting like fools.

The fights have come, gone, been discussed and no longer seem like "current events."

I just wasn't feeling the show. Maybe last night's show (THAT I STAYED UP TO WATCH AT 2AM) raised the bar for me.

This show was definately a waste of an hour... it bothers me enough that at the beginning of every show they have to rehash things that we have already seen five times and to have to watch a whole hour of things that we have now seen ten times, I could have definately done without.... very dissapointing!!!

Nobody has mentioned the only two things in tonight's show that I found interesting.

At 9:30, Dani in the DR explaining how she did one of her acting jobs when she left the bathtub. She is one calculating gal, which I love.

At 9:45 Lisa in the DR explained why she left the tub. Wanted to hide her desire to evict Roddy/Chiaho.

The rest of the show would have been a good time to get the lint out of your belly button.

It was a waste of time...yes there were some never been seen before clips...but we saw the same fights...same things...just a different camera angle!?

I almost missed it and was getting mad at my husband for almost making me miss it (yes I am addicted) There were maybe 20 minutes worth of previously untelevised clips.

Gritss...I did mention that. The whispered conversations in the tub that had everyone ready to hand the HOH to Amy was not shown. The show would have been more interesting if they would have included the fact that everyone's exit from the tub was strategy.

I couln't believe how many time I muted it and closed my eyes because most of those are the most annoying scenes...the Gerry Speech, marci fight with amy, marci fight with josh. When lisa puts her bent forefinger in her mouth,bites it, smiles evil and walks off...I HATE THOSE SCENES!
Plus the passing gas part and the nose picks and on and on...

Agree with the comment about the recaps for new viewers; for the rest of us, it was old news and not enough "never before seen" footage to justify the wasted hour of TV. Besides, it would have been hard to beat the drama of Thursday's program, so just about anything less than that would have been disappointing.

Alaginger....it seems like I follow your posts around and give you bad news all the time, really, that is not my intention. Saying that, I must tell you that I watched BB Thurs. night at the regular time on channel 9. Channel 4 was the Saints, but not 9. If my memory serves me right, channel 9 is out of Baton Rouge. Sorry you missed it again.

In keeping with the topic of this thread, I thought Friday's show was boring.

Fix2...we don't get a BR channel on Jefferson Cox. At least I don't think we do!

Then I don't feel so bad. I have satellite and antenna. So I catch BR off of the antenna. It's not too pretty, but I still get to see it. I wasn't thinking about cable. Sorry.

LOL Fix2...and here I was hoping that you'd tell me that I was wrong. I'd love to have a "back-up" so that pre-emptions wouldn't make me nuts....and tired.

I actually learned a bit from this "recap show." Like, WHY they did the PB Bikini's. I don't have the Live Feeds, and don't have time to read the LFP. Heck, I barely have time to click on more than a few threads here (there are soooo many topics!).

Anyway, I have to comment about the "farting coverage." Most of you are seeming to say that Gerry "just letting it go" was gross, and that others like Eric puposly stopping and calling attention to their farts is funny. With Gerry, the scene looks like it's early morning, he's up by himself (and alone).

Are you trying to tell me that, when you are alone, you don't just "let it go?" I think some are just saying his farting is gross because you think HE is gross. So, his sound a bit different. SO WHAT! Cripes, we all have different ways and sounds to fart, laugh, cough, sneeze, etc. It's human nature folks. In my family, we classify the two types of farts as "barnblasters" (loud, but not as smelly), and "fumigators" (silent and very deadly). Believe me, as someone who grew up with a sister as a fumigator, I'd much rather be the barnblaster I am! (Too much information?)

Now, Eric, Josh and whoever, who purposly set it up so everyone knows they are farting. THAT's just juvenile.
