The TV show is much better than the internet show this season...

Dilligaf, I know I could, but there is something differn't this year with the forum which I find prohibits me from posting as freely as other years. It might just be me, my opinion, but it seems different. I am as into the show as I was last year, but just not posting as much, due to not knowing how it will be taken, or where it will be moved to. Again, just my thoughts on the topic posted!

There isn't a great gap of worldviews in this group like there was in the previous years. I think CBS and A$ recognize that. The show/game needs varied worldviews.

Many of last years posters are no longer posting in BB, you'll see them in other area's but not here, and there are some posters in the BB area that routinely hi-jack threads. That is the only major difference I've seen this year.

I agree the TV shows are better than the feeds however, tonight while watching the show I kept telling my DH about some of the funny/interesting things not showed on the show but to be seen on the feeds. And I realized that I would really miss these boring feeds and the subsequent LFP's.

I agree with Lucas about the 'debate threads' I don't even read them, it takes too much time to click on each of them, plus I figure if anything is really juicy it will get a thread all by itself.
I also agree with Kelli.
A lot of us have more fun in the general discussion threads.

Dilligaf,
I don't really agree...as a newbie of sorts, I do feel prohibited from starting a thread. They get moved, changed. Again, I do not mean to offend, but my point I stand by, the make up of the forum this year, makes one think twice about just posting. YOu must think...where should it go...will it be removed...will it be deleted...These thoughts, were not with me last year or the year before. Again, I love the moderaters, but on a thread which discusses why the forum is not as 'hoppin' these are the reasons I personally do not post so much. Again, just my thoughts

I think there are several problems, the main one being since there is virtually NO mystique in the house, no suspense, the writing always on the wall, there is little left to discuss. For example, the second Justin won HoH EVERYONE here knew with certainty that his nominations were Nate and Jack, with most likely Nate to go. So what should we talk about? "So everyone, who do you think Justin will nominate first at the ceremony Nate or Jack?" LOLOL

The second problem beyond predictablility is are how boring these folks are. We can't talk about them personally cause what is there to talk about? We know little to nothing about them. And they either blather about nothing or talk strategy. I don't know them as people. And rather than romances developing in the house we have rolls in the hay they are proud about and that's that. There is no romance. There is no romantic potential.

So I think the biggest change in the board is that we have had to find things to chat about given how little we were given to work with for the above reasons. I think some of us have taken the opportunity to get to know other posters here better and spent more time delving into personal issues we probably wouldn't have if there was anything game related to talk about. That's not all bad. So I'm not sure if that's the hijacking that Kelli referred to (I wasn't real clear on that point) but I do think for as long as I've been here, which is from the beginning, threads have always twisted and turned and gone all sorts of directions. And sometimes they turn back to where they started, other times they are 100 mi northwest. So it goes.

Truthfully I'm still here not for BB, but for the friends and fun I've had here over the years. But I sure wish I could have it all and have great BB stuff to talk about and lose sleep over. I never expected to be this well rested halfway through BB.

I have free feeds till mid-Aug, then I'm canceling. It's that boring. It's not so much that I don't find there isn't any backstabbing. Ali takes the cake all by herself, but for me she's as fun to watch as Mike-boogie (yeah, for me, she's that obnoxious). Seriously, these HG either have no charisma or are just plain obnoxious. I mean I really don't understand why Jack and Erika's rating are so high up on CBS's poll. They NEVER do anything! It's soooo boring watching them two. Watching a black-widow spider spinning her web and eating her catch is more exciting (as Justin and Robert did on feeds).

The fact that nobody is really posting on this site is a testament that this show is truely going downhill. I enjoyed the boards as much as if not more than the show, but there just aren't as many people posting now like they have in seasons past.

I didn't like the X factor, someone posted earlier that because of that there was not enough diversity which is so true. Then, after last nights comp, it was just too obvious to me that BB fixed it. I have no interest in the show at this point. I'll keep watching the shows, but not the LF's unless something really interesting starts to happen. It's just too predictable for me right now.

Here's what I think about this year..... The cast is not a bunch of love em or hate ems'. For the most part, they are boring, and sometimes unintelligeble F' word speweing morons. Sorry to be so blunt, but I dont really LIKE or HATE anyone left. I think last week was the WORST of all weeks for the simple FACT that nearly all we saw was Justin and Dana making out. PERIOD. The only fun part this pawst week was that Dana nearly had a nervous breakdown. I just wish she really would have lost it on SOMEONE. That would have gotten people talking. Simply out, there isnt much left to see. Iwas really dissapointed when Dave left, because he was the joker, and he would have been very interesting to watch, at least for a while. But it seems to me that the people left are the everyday life people we can see walking downb the street, or talking to in the neighborhood, so why do we want to watch them 24/7? They are boring, is all I can really say. If they vote Jack off this week, I will really truly consider having to stop watching the feeds, as Jack is the only one left that i like. Off the soapbox again. Sheila

I remember when I tuned into bb2, I wasn't really into it. I half-heartedly watched when Will sucked me in. It was because of him that I got the feeds. It was because of Will that I bought the feeds for bb3. Amy and Marc were funny but they became annoying...and there was something lacking (Will?) from bb3.

But this show is missing something altogether. The x factor makes it boring because people already know one another. Where are the twists? The guests aren't varied enough (too many young folks). I watch the feeds for a couple minutes on Sundays and I'm growing bored with the show. The best part about the show is the diary room. We barely see anything of value on the tv show! I don't get it?

I felt ripped off when cbs made you think Dani was going to win last year (or that it would at least be close). And here I am feeling ripped off again... :( These people are boring......the editing is BORING. I'm going to tune in because...I'm hoping ... something will happen but...oiy vey what a let down this season has been :(

I have more fun reading Bunny's posts than watching Live Feeds.

I so agree, these HG are the most boring out of all the BB shows.
I so miss last years Amy/Marcelles stories.
This year, I'm about to screem, because it's so boring

Since Justin has won HOH I have no need to tune in and remain glued to the feeds. He is soo predictable and this week is also very predictable. Even when drama was looming on the horizon with Nate's last ditch effort, it fizzled like a coke that was left with the top off too long. I didn't like Dana, but I like Jun less, and wished they had the chutzpah to vote her out. At least Dana kept things off kilter. Jun is predictable and petty. Alison is just plain crazy. Justin doesn't talk. THe stooges have the most boring conversations. Jack and Erika have no more power, yet believe they do. All in all I guess, I hope next weeks HOH will be a little more less predictable.

Me too... I just figured..."what's the use" and only came in here briefly to see who won the POV but still FOTH.

We'll disappear altogether if the stooges won it.

I agree this season is boring and predictable. I really haven't found anyone to like or dislike. It's kind of like so and so won the HoH, well they will nominate such and such. In previous years you routed for someone to win the HoH, this year it is just what ever or who ever.

I do have to say I do enjoy the TV show more this year than last, but the LF are boring.

Same here. I have the live feeds but don't think to turn them on. Watched the feeds very closely in past seasons.

I don't know, the producers of this show puzzle me. They have all year to plan for this show and put it together and to come up with creative things (not playschool type things either) for the HG to do and this is the best they can do? I think Endemol did a much better job when they were producing it. One would think they would have each and every day planned out of what the HGs will be subjected to and will be doing. Some of the competitions have been very creative but that's it.

By the end of this season, those remaining in the house should be more than well rested and probably won't need a vacation for years to come thanks to Arnold Shapiro Co.

The game was boring. Now it is worse. It is nauseating.

The hubris of the stooges, especially Robert, has no bounds. The duplicity of Alison, while it is good game play is sad and sickening. The constant picking on Jee is so juvenile. Jun's vicious cutting down of people behind their backs is embarrassing.

I spent ten minutes on the live feeds today. That was too much - especially right before lunch.
