Do you realize that Julie Chen only works one day of the show and they do need new writers, lame twist, we could have thought have a better twist then that.

i don't think we can blame julie chen for this week's debaucle.

a new creative team? well ok, i'll go for that one.

but the thing i think BB really needs is NEW HOUSEGUESTS!

They have this problem every year when there are so few left in the house--and they haven't addressed that yet. They really should change to a half-week, instead of a week-long eviction cycle when they reach this point in the game. There just aren't enough people to make it interesting. And it only gets worse. Remember how dreadfully dull it was when there were only three for the lawst week of the show?

Julie Chen alwasy been a fan favorite. I wanted her of the show since bb2. ohh well, each year seems to get worse and worse, they keep saying we got new twists, but for me I loved when my mega man and striper Jordon lived in the house and the next year evil dr will.

last year had it's moments but really it's a sliding show. down a hill with no end.

The last week of the show had only Lisa and Dani left last year. I doubt I watched more than an hour of the live feeds combined the last six days.

New writers definitely. What are they thinking with the JFK topic? Obviously the kiss of death for Jack by going into his work life and getting so much air time.

I never realized that eating PB&J was hell. I think there are a few starving people in the world who'd differ.

I wish somebody would've taken that rest of game offer :)

I still miss things from BB1. I liked being able to vote, I liked the banners and things going over the wall, the toilet paper, candy (how dumb was George!?!) and the shouting. I thought Dr. Drew was fun. The fans are heavily invested in the show. It might be interesting to try variations like one week the fans may nominate 1 or 2 people or we vote, constantly shake things up. Currently it's like spending time in a bad resort. Give them something to do, knit blankets for the needy, assemble bikes for kids, restuff teddy bears. Set them up so they can make lunches for those far more unfortunate so they have to think of someone other than there sorry selves. I would really like to see something done so that they don't throw or claim to throw comepetitions. Perhaps a point system that determines the amount of $ won so that it is imperitive the win to keep the $ amount high. The Mole has a win $ or lose $ system. None of this "I threw the comp" or "I was voted off because I'm a strong player and I win" crap.."Winners have a target on their back" This makes for very boring TV, same old thing, make and alliance, change alliances, change alliances back, no one will suspect a thing. Screw PB&J, give 'em bread and water. Crustless bread at that!

I think that is a wonderful idea Sugar, about them doing something for the needy. They could make kits for the people who have had a disaster. Wrap toys for kids homeless for Christmas..(not too early!)There are so many charity things they could do. Someone should suggest this idea to the writers. They have so much time and energy they could spend on something useful.

Indeed, use some of their downtime for this. Don't let it interfere with the game of couse.
Their "celebrity" could actually help the cause if BB got popular again. lil' notes "wrapped by the ••••••••". It'd make any kid smile!

I think they should do BB like 'The Family' style - keep the eliminated ones in the house and maybe have them a chance to come back and win in the end. As for Julie, I love her ... she is the bond the binds all the BBs together.

Julie doesn't bother me...Letterman would spice it up, though.

I liked BB1, though many found it boring, because it seemed more like the house against BB. They had more to do as team projects.

It is said:

"If you have enough monkeys banging randomly on keyboards, they will eventually type the works
of William Shakespeare."

I say:

"If you have just one monkey banging randomly on a keyboard, it will do a better job of writing than the writers of Big Brother 4."

During the previous editions of BB, I used to watch the feeds often and comment frequently. Predictions were made, and everyone enjoyed the posts by others and watched intently for fresh insight and commentary. I haven't gotten any feel for BB 4. None. The cast is so dreadful, nothing can make it interesting or topical. I see a select few people typing like crazy trying to relive the sensation and exhilaration of BB's past. I hate to say it, but when I see volumes and volumes of opinions from certain posters, I actually feel sorry for them and pray they will not waste their entire summer writing messages that simply aren't being read. Using the phrase "get a life" is very outdated, but I feel it applies here.

So true Woodpecker. This show has definitely "jumped the shark" for long time fans. Unfortunately, I think viewers new to BB this season actually like this show and cast.

I have had my feeds on a total of two hours this past week, and that was more to catch up with other chatters who always go to the same live feed chat room.

This is a lousy season. Bad cast, bad host (can Julie host one episode without making a mistake?) bad decor, bad challenges, bad twists, BAD SHOW!

I guess all good things come to an end. I really must thank Arnold Shapiro, I've gotten so much done this summer in comparison to last.

I got rid of my feeds, the first two weeks of the I wonder how many people that they have lost realplayer I rely on this board to tell us what is going on. Thanks everyone.

I think Julie really improved from the beginning of BB2 to the end of BB3. This year, however, she's been off. She often seems surprised by answers. It's like she doesn't really have a clue what is going on in the house and the questions the BB staff have prepared for her are a bit mis-leading.

I believe Julie has taken over the CBS morning show since BB3 ended. I just don't think she has the time to properly follow this show anymore. If they can find someone who is really good, I would consider a new host.

I didn't get feeds this year at all, and I consider myself lucky. It was just 'meant to be!"
