I know, first your psycho ex-fiance professes his undying love to you on national TV, freaks out and starts throwing chairs like a big baby, then you have sex live on the internet with a Jay Leno clone (sorry, I love Dave but that chin is hilarious!) after which he throws up (hmmmmm that wouldn't do much for MY ego.....) then you are voted out unanimously and on national TV you are falling out of your top, you have about 1/8 of your body covered and in walks Pops and bro..... I bet they gave you a good tongue lashing afterwards! Wow Amanda, way to go girl! You were only there for a week but you sure were busy!

I agree with Clio! I am fed up with them switching the feeds whenever the HGs talk strategy!! This is by far the most boring BB cast to date, and they take away what little interest there COULD be! I also think Dana's voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

I was also really excited about Jee winning HOH, and am trying not to think it was a pre-planned AS "arranged" HOH competition, but I think he's dumb if he doesn't put up 2 of the "Original 8" up against each other! Leave Michelle out of it, put up Ericka and Jack or Dana and make an alliance with all the remaining "exes"...

Four feeds. Four views of outside on the patio. And not a frigging conversation. Or not much. Why can't two go to inside the house. Huh? Huh, BB? Why?

poor Bmh, got takeout from Kowloons and didnt get any for Lurk...run Bmh, run!

Nathalia-if i knew that you were there i woulda waved when i passed that way today! Nick and Tonys is good and Family Fare (try the grilled blueberry muffin. Its the size of Will's head)

Lurk- i actually took a takeout menu and didnt see the famous dish! They must make it special for you! I did wave at the fountains for you..

oh yeah, i am supposed to leave a complaint here.. Ok, i complain that Delilah forgot that she is supposed to disappear AFTER Big Brother, not in the middle of it! Glad you came back in time for a little Amanda commentary:)..Hubby's comments on Amanda and her legs: 'Sally Struthers needs to raise some money to get that girl a candy bar..'

Delilah and Donut & Hubby,

Thank You!! You've given me my laughs for the day!!

I'd think Amanda will get a bonus for all that!

They should give us $$ back everyday that the feeds are as bad as they were today.

Howdy - well I always really enjoyed everyone here at TVCH and I'd like to voice an opinion... I'm working 40+ hours a week right now so I only get to read maybe 1/4th of the posts here, SO maybe I am just reading the wrong threads but I do want to say this:


I do NOT go to the Star Trek fan club boards and diss on Star trek and how boring it is and how I am NOT going to watch it and so on.

So why do people do that here?? Do people honestly think the hundreds who DO want to watch this show care if you do not wish to? I have to assume folks do or I wouldn't be seeing it all over our board.

If the show is boring, or not interesting to you, and if you don't want to watch it then - DON'T watch it.

I have had to listen for 4 years now to people on this board talking about how boring BB 1 was - if it was so damn boring then why did you watch it? If you didn't watch it then what right do you have to go on year after year about how boring it was since you didn't even watch it!

I just really wish all the "I'm giving it one more day, or one more week or I'm done watching it" type stuff could all be confined to OUTSIDE the house since - if your NOT watching it, not interested in it etc then it's a topic for outside the house.

I care about my friends here and I don't mean for anyone to take this personal .. (if YOU were the only one doing it - it wouldn't be bothering me so it's not just YOU ok? ) but this *IS* my entertainment, and I don't choose to go to the thousands of enthusiast boards of all the things I am NOT into and diss on their hobby, so why do folks do that here?

If you don't want to watch BB4 then don't - I personally don't care if you choose to watch it or not.

If we MUST have public announcements about 'giving it another day or week' etc - by folks who claim not to be interested yet can't stop posting here - then can't we at least confine it to one thread?

Truth is - the grass is always greener, and no year of BB will probably ever be as good as the first year you watched it.. and all future HG's and seasons will have to live up to it and probably won't.

For the one or two of you who will actually stop watching - I hope your back next year - and I hope it works better for you next year. Till then - be good, if you can't be good be damn good, if you can't be damn good - be damn good at it. :)

Whit I kinda agree with you. I mean, yeah, I've said it's boring because it is boring. But I'm STILL gonna watch it and I'm still gonna enjoy it and I'm still gonna talk about things like: "Hey look! Dana just ate some cruchy peanut butter!" because I'm addicted.

But the constant annoucements that folks aren't gonna watch is getting a little old. I realize it's not the same person saying it over and over, but cumualitively (or however you spell that word) it's getting old.

Whit, I understand what you're saying, but to me BB is different than other shows. Dissing the HG's and complaining how boring it is is part of the tradition. It's kind of like flying in a small plane...most of the time is boring, but when the excitement does come, it's unexpected and exhilarating. I have watched all the BBs, and I do think so far this one is the most boring. However, I am committed and will see it through, just for the possibilty of a thrill or two, but also to watch human nature.

I would like to complain that Bmh is eating my dinner!

I would also like to complain that Donut can't seem to read a menu...trust me it's on there. Look again. Did ya look under chef specialties? That's where it is online. Here's the URL
http://www.kowloonrestaurant.com/menus/takespec.htm

Lastly on a BB note I would like to complain that I am going away for the weekend so I'm sure that all sorts of hell will break lose in the house. At least my friend has computer access so hopefully I'll be able to poke my nose in...and I shall also grill any NY TVCH members I happen to stumble across in my travels

OK, please forgive me if this has been discussed already. These BB folders just move too quick for me, and I can't keep up!

That being said, my gripe is this:
Can't these HG's follow simple directions? On the HOH comps (every season), Julie specifically says not to hold up their answer until she says "reveal" (or whatever catch phrase she wants to use). And yet there is always someone (or most of them), who hold up their answer before she asks for it anyway.

I'm thinking, next HOH comp, she should say "if you hold your answer up before I ask for it, you are eliminted from this HOH competition, whether your answer was right or not."

How many times would it take for them to finally start listening to her?

i actually have a real complaint.. I am going crazy because since BB began, i frequently get locked out when i go to post and then most of the time when i go back to repost it (usually when i write a really long post that took me forever to write) it has disappeared. and i am ready to pull a Scott and throw my TV (I have Webtv) across the room!
Is anyone else having this happen?

On another note, The new black and white eviction technique that we have at the top of the TVCH screen is very impressive, but i want to complain that in black and white, Amanda scares me.. she looks like a zombie.. but the ghost symbolism in the black and whites is Emmy worthy..

Lurk, have a great trip! get delilah to take you out to the packie...

Yeah- it happens to me sometimes too. If you write a really long one and if you remember, copy it before you post so if it doesn't work you can try again.

Donut - "frequently get locked out when i go to post and then most of the time when i go back to repost it (usually when i write a really long post that took me forever to write) it has disappeared. and i am ready to pull a Scott and throw my TV (I have Webtv) across the room!

The file lock error happens to me on occasion, too. I know in years past it was really frustrating to write a long post only to lose it when the file locking error popped up. Then, I got in the habit of selecting and then copying my post so it was already on the clipboard before I tried to post it...that way, if I got the file lock error, I could easily just paste the post back in.

However, *this* year, I discovered that when I get the file lock error, if I just wait a moment and hit the refresh button on my browser (I am using Apple's Safari browser in OSX) I get a dialog box asking if I'm sure I want to re-submit the form...I reply yes....then the form is resubmitted without my having lost it. This way, I don't have to rewrite the post at all! (Btw, I don't know if this is something the Safari browser is doing or if it holds true for all browsers....but I'm so happy I can do this!

File lock errors are a real pain!

Donut: When I get that message, usually clicking 'refresh' brings up a window like this:

Internet Explorer:
ierepost


Netscape 7
nsrepost



Clicking 'Ok' (for Netscape) or 'Retry' (for Explorer) should post the data and your username/password and save the post.

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know based on the yard layout, what the HG's would be looking at during the competition?

Premature paddle poppers might be cheating if they are facing windows.
