Erika being evicted Weds night. Than I won't care who wins the BB4 and if I don't care who wins, I won't watch. THe same happened for mw with TAR this year.

I'll watch no matter what, always with the hopes that things will improve.

I think I'll probably continue watching till the end, however I won't get upset if I miss a show here and there. No more living my life around BB T/W/F=S, if I am there to watch it great, if not, no big deal.

I will watch till the end. It's a real love-hate relationship. And--despite being very cold about the contestants--I think it's turning out to be pretty darn good as far as who is going and who is staying--more strategizing than I ever remember before. Ali and Jun would be two of my least favorite to take this thing a week ago, but just knowing how they plan on voting out Erika despite Jee's plan makes me want them to win! I love that they are going to double cross him. :)

I've already cut back to just watching on Wednesday. I'm not interested enough in any of these HGs as people to spend three hours a week watching them. I catch up on the highlights on this board, but I'm not on here nearly as much as I was early on.

The nice ones aren't all that nice, the bad ones are particularly repulsive, and not one of them has an once of charm or charisma.

In previous years, even though I knew in advance about things from spoilers, I would look forward to actually watching them play out, to see the expressions of the hamsters and hear their voices (I don't get live feeds).

To all of those early on who said to just wait, you'll get involved, you'll be just as passionate about this group: Sorry, it never happened. This group is too homogenous. Yes, there's some racial diversity; yes, there's one person over the age of 35 (whoopee). But they seem to have a mental homogeneity.

Even Survivor, which shows one hour covering three days, as opposed to three hours covering one week plus live feeds, had shown us very distinct and unique personalities every single season. Pick ANY season from Survivor, even the most "boring," and transplant the personalities into the BB house - I guarentee it would be more interesting than what we've had this summer.

Whew! Thanks for letting me vent!

It won't take much for me to quit watching altogether. At this point, I don't care if I miss a show or not.
I am particularly bored by all the crappy competitions which need no knowledge and very little skill, and seem rigged so that one person can take everything in a single week (Jee). I have nearly stopped posting, and am glad I saved my money and didn't pay for the feeds.
Yawn.

I tried to, but, as Al Pacino said in the Godfather, "It keeps su*king me back in." Or something like that. LOL. I keep saying it's no good anymore, etc., but then I just have to check and see if Jee won anything else. I do hope the girls can surprise the guys and see Jack go bye-bye.

A large Hershey's bar, with almonds...yeh, that's all it would take...but I'd probably cheat, after
the chocolate was gone.

Redstar you have outlined the malfunctions to this season's game extremely well. Standards were left to fall by the wayside, I think. The one over 35 year old was very disappointing. But they don't care as long as those rating numbers in that all important demographic stay at the level that they've maintained and the show is dirt cheap to produce. That's actually a good alternative name for the show:

DIRT CHEAP

I think i'm at the same point as you Jagger. I'll watch when i'm home/if i remember but no big deal if i don't.

Its funny because my daughter told me she was pregnant in January (expecting in August). Well we talked about it for a while - excited etc but then as we are/were both huge big brother fans it came to both our minds - is there a tv in the labor room. after all we can't miss bb LOL! looking back at our thoughts then i guess that's why this year's show is such a let down.

Could it be that our disappointment this year is because we raise our expectations a little higher each season?

I'll watch to the end but an Ali - Robert F2 would be tragic.

I'm with Redstar; I'm really not watching except for Wednesday night. And even then, I'm recording and using the FF button on the remote to pass by most of the "fluff" in the show. I no longer watch the LFs, I no longer read the LFPs, and I barely read the BB discussion threads here.

I still don't care about any of the HGs and don't really care who wins or loses. By this point, in past seasons, there were at least one or two who I definitely wanted to win or lose. Sadly, though, this is not the case this year. I *still* think this crop of houseguests is the most boring ever, and I do NOT think that my opinion will change.

So what would it take for me to stop watching? A bellini?

Same here... I'm in til the end, but I'll send hate mail if Ali or Jun are in the final two at all... In fact, I'll send hate mail this Wednesday no matter what, because I don't want Jack OR Erika to leave.

I watch the show while eating snacks and touching IT. I'm a master of multi-tasking.

From my cold, dead hands...er...eyes. Heh. I'll always watch. It's summer, I work from home, it keeps me company, and there's not much on tv anyway. I like the show. I like seeing and watching the house dynamics unfold, boring or not. And, I like seeing how it's different from year to year. I have no expectations for BB, so I'm never disappointed. :)
