Orwell. Big Brother needs to be more like its name. It is way too cudly. I want to see the hamsters toyed with.

Next season fire Julie Chen and put in Will from BB2 and Roddy from BB3 and have them experiment with their houseguests like boys torturing flies.

Lurk, I feel like you. I'd miss the show, but it's kind of like putting a wounded animal out of it's misery.
BB needs either major surgery or R.I.P. Hopefully it can be reincarnated later.

I would miss the discussions on this board! I already don't miss the show, having given up the feeds.

Thorntara,

There is a slew of other areas of this board that have nothing to do with BB.

Go here to find other areas of the board, it's a wonderful place to meet freinds!

BB needs to add an Ex of Dana's. She's been way to cocky not having to deal with the emotional stress of an ex. I would say Nathan needs one there too, but I find the thought of Dana's ex being there way more entertaining.

I would also like to see them have Dani, Marcellas, Bunky and Brittney come back in the house for at least one week, just to shake these insensitive young people up and make them more aware of the morass of evil they emit from their pie holes.

Has Dana had a boyfriend? Would there be an ex to put on the show?

Yes, she said her last serious one was in '99

What is BB lacking? A bar of soap, that would be used to rinse out the HGs mouths every time something nasty spewed forth. (Whoops. Make that a case. A bar wouldn't last a day!)

This show is missing intelligent discourse. This show is missing civility. It doesn't have continuity. It lacks age diversity. The internet viewing stipulations are far too harsh. Instead of starting with BB 1 and getting better with each successive season, the entire concept has regressed and invented new ways to punish thoughtful viewers. Nearly every change implemented by the writers and directors of this show has turned out to be a badly concocted nightmare. Basically, but not exclusively, the Big Brother experience was and is an insult to fans of the original idea. A failure on almost every single level. Curious casting, poor scheduling, terrible writing, simplistic games and questionable rules. I would give a small kudo to the T.V. show production crew; the music and special effects being used are often humorous with clever switches and eye-popping footage. Other than that, the only redeeming feature of this summer diversion is the TV Clubhouse messageboard and its ever-growing group of loyal fanatics. Dedicated, opinionated and entertaining. We deserved better than this.

Cost,
Maybe they should be fined for every improper word. Some of them would end up Owing money!

Bravo to Wood!

And, in my opinion, there is nothing curious about the casting...they were going for the best looking couples, regardless of personality, intelligence, any life experience, and so on.

Ohhhh, Penguin, you do have some JOLLY ideas! Will and Roddy could really run the hamsters through a twisting habitat trail! What a shame nothing so interesting will ever happen. Woodpecker, you put it so well! If it weren't for the entertaining people on this board I wouldn't bother to watch this year.

Do any of the HGs even have fan pages this year? I haven't seen any real excitement or emotion from the fans for anyone in the house, so far, this year.

I can't believe people were complaining so much last year about Roddy and now people want him back


i'm not going to say it..nope not going to say it.......oh yes I am...I TOLD YA SO!!!!!

I don't want Roddy back. Each season, imo, is distinct in its own way. This year, different. Obviously. But, I am still watching the feeds, posting here, and watching the show so...I'm still a fan of BB. This won't rate as my favorite year, but that doesn't mean I feel anything is necessarily lacking. *shrug* Different strokes for different folks. :)

wendo thats exactly how I feel too....but i was more commenting in general that i've heard a lot of posters on many different threads talk about how roddy would kick everyone's butts, and if he was on it would be more interesting.....nothing directed at you or anyone poster

I'm remembering all the grief I got last year being a roddy fan!

Expect the Unexpected is missing from the plasma screen, that is what is lacking this year. I miss that.

And more interesting personalities of course. I think BB got lazy this year when they picked Ex's to put on the show.

Cute, I didn't feel anything was directed at me at all! :) We're cool as ice cream!

Yes, I've read a lot of posts about Roddy in the house with this group. Funny thing is, maybe this group would boot him because he wouldn't fit in. He's way to cerebral for this group; know what I mean. LOL!

This show is missing characters that really stand out, someone you either really like or dislike. So far I am not seeing that. BB needs to cause some comotion, get people not to trust the person standing next to them. Maybe let it slip who is in an alliance with who, or at least make up alliances so noone trusts anyone. It may be too late in the summer to break up the already formed alliances but they sure could try.


Maybe they could evict all the hgs and start over with a new group.

I say it's not too late to recast the whole dang thing. 10 new people, no exes.

Or to prevent being sued, a competition between the remaining houseguest. Last one standing gets to go on and compete for the $500K against 9 new contestants.

Good call, Misslibra....I miss that, too.

IMO it is lacking humor. Not one of them with the exception of Dave seem to have a sense of humor. I would love to see another Kent/Bunky, Amy/ Marcelles, Will/anyone. Even Mike Boogie made me laugh even though it was at him and not with him. To me the last 2 show were funny this one is not. I am just not entertained. Gosh I would even settle for Erica and Robert to call a truce and show us some salsa dancing.

While I've watched this show with some interest from season 2 through now. I have always felt (in my own opinion) that it was the 3rd best of this elimination form of reality tv.

Although not reflected in the ratings, my favorite has always been The Amazing Race, then Survivor and BB 3rd.

The thing about BB is that it is just Survivor without the island. However, the houseguests are way too pampered and not put under any distress such as fighting the elements, etc.. If BB would manufacture more of a strain on these folks, I think from a viewers standpoint it would be more entertaining.

I know some would feel this would cause mental breakdowns of already fragile people, I'm just looking at it from an entertaining standpoint of creating dramas which is really what we all want.

I say wake them up at all different times of the day with a foghorn and put strobe lights and stuff in there. Take out the hot water, make them all sleep on the floors. Stop this pampering stuff.

I've got it! Scheduled times for specific activities! Remember how they had hot water for only a specific period of time in BB1?

They could do that, plus add that they can eat meals at certain times. Breakfast at 8am, lunch at 1pm, dinner at 6pm. If they sleep thru breakfast, they have to wait till lunch!

Costacat is amazed that it's 11am and the only person up now is Jun.
