Besides which the BB3 men were salivating over a mother of Five.

Things to complain about? JUN EATING WITH HER MOUTH OPEN !!!!! I have to turn it off, can't stand to hear her chomping. Between that and their language, these people are pathetic. It would be hard to convince anyone they have any intelligence, since none of them seem to be able to hold a coversation without swearing every other word.

Albeit a surgically enhanced mother of five, Maris? <wink> <grin>

make that a leaky surgically enhanced mother of five. And Jun, her eating habits are the worst. I cant stand to watch people hover over food. As a rule I cant watch the HGs eat and every year they have bugged me with their bad eating habits.

Scorpio, I think she got her years wrong. It was BB2 and Mike complained Krista and Amber wouldn't hook up because of what their kids might see.

I'd love to complain about member "board police" here who appoint themselves mods and decide to tell folks what they can and can't say. They not only annoy me, but remind me of that abnoxious kid in school (everyone had one) who would tattle and ruin fun everyone was having. IMHO the mods keep an awesome balance here, and unless they are asking for help, I can't see they need volunteers.

PHEW I feel better (and I wasn't even interested in the discussion that was just user moderated lol....but it still got under my skin).

PS ROFLMAO at leaky surgery enhanced mother o 5!

Lurk - yup that's been my #1 complaint here since day one :) Only the mods should tell others what they can and can't say or post here etc... but some will never get that.

I want to complain that my little girl cat (NOT my Costa cat) woke me up at 3:30 this morning doing an upchuck of a hairball. And since I couldn't get back to sleep after cleaning up said hairball, I decided to turn on my trusty laptop and check the live feeds. What live feeds? They're all snoozing like "dead" polar bears in the back of the exhibit. Sheesh! The one time they COULD be up late and they aren't!

Note: You'd have to be a regular, or at least a visitor, to the San Diego Zoo to understand that polar bear comment. Most often, unless they've recently been given enrichment activities, our cute polar bears are snoozing in the furthest corner away from the viewing public. And since their enclosure is HUGE, it's pretty far away! They look more "dead" than snoozin'".

Has there ever been a scientific investigation as to WHY cats ONLY throw up in your bedroom in the middle of the night?

Anyway, back on topic (sorta) did you catch the discussion Robert, Justin and BB4 winner David had day before yesterday about NOT dating women with more than one pet? Robert told them about spending the night with Erika and how her dogs were all over the bed and how he had to sleep with them. (Now I DO have two cats but I don't let them bother my company) and Justin talked about how people with a bunch of dogs have no life because they have to be constantly at home to take care of them.

I almost got a little mad at Justin and BB4 winner Dave which was odd because they're my favorite HGs, they hurt my feelings. But then I decided Robert was the one driving the conversation and Justin and David didn't REALLY agree with him, they were just pretending to agree with him as to not to reveal their secret alliance (ha ha, kidding.)

Laisey: Ooooooh! Ok, now THAT makes sense! Thanks for clarifying. :)

I will despise Jun a little less today as a way to apologize for freaking out. :)

Scorpio, I really don't think you need to apologize. You know she's going to something else annoying before she's been up an hour.

LOL Laisey!

On another note:

Complaint: Why can't the producers go to FOTH when Robert has his face in the mirror and is brushing his teeth. I'd rather look at the door. It's more calming.

I can't stand that the HGs talk in circles!! and won't take a nap so I can!

Better yet, Scorpiomoon, why can't they go FOTH when Robert is cleaning his nose? Ahhhh!

Dana was just in the shower and forced a FOTH by singing. Why don't they just take off the sound and leave the cameras running when the HGs do that? Also I'd like to see a percentage of the prize taken away for the amount of time the winner forced FOTHs.

My new complaint is masking moral/political debates behind a small commment or two made by BB HG's. Isn't this a board about the game, and how it is played? There are a lot of people whose views we disagree with regarding racism, sexism, republican vs. democrat, rich vs. poor. At the end of the day, we have talked on and on but really haven't changed anyone's views on this board. Honestly, if people feel the need to "enlighten" others about various issues....go vote, go volunteer, but just go elsewhere.

I want inane, petty commentary on 12 strangers living together in a house for the summer.

My apologies for the rant. I just think sometimes we forget what this board is for. Fun. Not to create hostilities amongst posters.

Eeyore - ((((( Hug ))))) if I don't like a particular thread I just don't read that thread, it's pretty easy to NOT read a thread that doesn't interest me. Clearly those involved in the particular thread wish to be so it's easier to just ignore the threads that don't interest you - and not worry about what goes on in them. This show always brings out discussions debates on gay / race / and other issues here on TVCH and those who enjoy it get involved those who don't are probably better off avoiding those threads :>)

Just a hint... I've been doing that here at TVCH for years - and it does make it more enjoyable to avoid those convo's that are not interesting to you. :)

If there were 50 threads about the same topic that'd be a diff story of course :)

Eeyore, this is a normal event with TVCH. We do this all the time. I find the threads interesting and informative.
As Whit says, just click out of anything too controversial.
I can remember threads in past years that make any of these threads this year seem tame.

Actually...I think this has been the most mellow BB to date...as far as threads go.

Whit4you

Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 03:24 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I agree Zachs - I think (just my impression) it's because few of us have any really strong favorites. And It doesn't appear to me that any of the least liked HG's this year are the strong favorites of anyone here. That's how it's appearing so far - that could change soon obviously :) I mean usually the majority here are for the 'underdogs' - but this year it seems like most of us aren't for the underdogs, and it's tough to get to passionate about those with the clear advantage anyhow so it's like no fuel to the fire here yet.

I agree with Whit, and what Costacat wrote at the beginning of said thread. Those threads kind of clog up the BB topic threads and get away from the game. I was surprised the mods haven't either moved that thread or closed it.

I have a complaint about last night's HOH game. The more I think about it, the more it doesn't seem fair that Dana won without answering a question. Wouldn't it have been more fair to have another question, since Ali missed hers (supposedly) and someone had to answer a question right to win? If being live was a problem, they could have said "Tune in Friday night to see who wins this competition." Ali had answered one or two questions correctly, right? So either way, she should have won the game....or... they should have asked Dana the question Ali missed.

What does everyone else think?

I've seen my issues already addressed here, so I'm glad I'm not the only one. My only complaint left is that it is too damn hot here! We need RAIN!!!!!!

Interesting point, Cricket. I never realized she won that comp without answering a question.

LOL Scorpio and Katlady! ...asking for FOTH! LOL!! (after all the complaints of FOTH for 4 years!)

Good points guys. It being my first year here, I guess I'm not TOO knowledgeable on what is normal around here.

I can avoid posts once I know what they are about. However most posts that turn into political soapboxes are not labeled that way. That was more my point. The fact that I go into a post thinking it's going to be about something duplicitous in nature ABOUT the HG's and the game, but really it's just about something moral to debate about.

Perhaps posts should be labeled, "Erika's racist comment makes me feel like debating the acceptable levels of racism." Or, "When is a racist comment OK?" Or "Let's use two ignorant, naive white kids to start a debate on the validity of affirmative action." At that point, I wouldn't even bother to read the post in the first place.

I dunno. I don't want to insult anyone for partaking in these posts. It was my VERY HUMBLE opinion....not meaning to offend. Sorry!!

I like this board because there are a lot of eloquent, and intelligent people posting here. However I'm already debating the world's woes enough in my university classes. Hopefully I can stick to the posts of the plain ol' people-watchers like myself.

Sorry again to cause offense. :-S

actually the thread about nate and ali was started because there were people on the erika thread saying the only reason it was an issue was because it was erika, that other house guest say rude/ignorant things and no one says anything.

So the first rude/ignorant thing i heard i posted-equal time after all, didn't want to be playing favorites. It just happened to be nate and ali. It was never intended to be a debate about affirmitive action. (had they been going on about their gay comments last night that's what the thread would have been about.
