Man, I'm glad someone started a thread about this. I've thought the same thing for a couple of weeks now. Past seasons found me rushing to get home from work to see what had gone on in the house while I was at work, and catch up on all of the discussions on this board.
What is it about this year? Were most of us disappointed when they brought the X-factor in to play? Are the HG's really that daggone uninteresting? Where is the conniving, the manipulating, the insanity (can you say Nicole?) of the past 3 years?
To paraphrase, "give me the real BB, or give me a book".

Speaking for myself, I'm bored cause the show is boring cause the houseguests are boring. I can't get interested in these people cause they are not interesting. The only thing that is NOT boring about this season is this here little chatfest that we got going on at TVCH.

Most of the interesting discussions on TV Clubhouse this year have involved stuff that has nothing to do with the game. Damn, last year, Roddy was annoying enough to move 4 or 5 threads by himself.

Between the fact that the HGs tell everyone what's on their mind individually so we have to hear the same thing over and over and over, and the fact so much of the time the feeds are all on one screne, or sometimes two, we don't get much of a chance to see anything interesting -- if there should be something interesting to see in the first place.

Cost & Wood-I agree! When it was the Will and Nicole show, I never knew what might be the conversations here. I knew that they would always be funny as well as insightful, and they are this year too. Just not about the HG's.
I want someone that I love-to-hate and someone I hate-to-love. I haven't found that yet this season.

I am glad I am not the only one who is bored with this show. Get rid of them all start over.

I like the show this year! Lots and Lots of drama so far!

It's definitely hard to get enthused with strategy discussions. I think the game will get more interesting when they get down to 6. Be ready for twists.

Oh well. I guess one man's drama is another man's whining.:)

I have been thinking about the same thing. I don't get the live feeds but I use to rush home to get here and get caught up. Now....I still come here but go to other areas like general discussions. I've always been a big BB fan but this year.....YAWN.....I still watch but it really isn't the same. Now Paradise Hotel....that's another story. Lots of people on there to dispise.

All of the other years there was always one person that you routed for, sometimes secretly (Will) or really didn't like, and the ones that we didn't like gave us so much ammunition. There was always major drama going on. This year.....again....YAWN x's 2.

I wonder if it is really the HG's that we dislike or is the premise of the show just getting tired?

But Jhezzie, the only kind of "wining" I like is the kind that comes with "dining."

I do find myself going long periods of time without listening to the feeds and my husband is thrilled because I am much more present than I was last year. I can only see it getting worse if Jee3 wins HOH tonight because the Pagonging will begin and it will be even more boring.

With all due respect to the moderators, because I LOVE LOVE this site. I do think the current forum is more limiting than last year. By seperating the specific houseguest threads into almost a seperate board I find hard. Last year, if Roddy or Amy did something horrible or funny, I or someone would just post, and humerous and prickly arguments might begin. This year the main forum is limited, and I find myself wondering where to post, then giving up. The specific houseguest fan forums and debate forums I do not read on a daily basis. Moderaters, I am not being critical, I understand the rational behind the decision, and it certainly makes the main forum easier to navigate, and less complicated, but it just might be limiting some great threads as well. Just my thoughts

I think the Ex factor really had a bad affect on this year as it did not create a diverse enough group. Yawn.

Lucas, nothing is preventing you from starting your own thread if you see or find something exciting to discuss...go for it! As long as it's something original and not already being discussed elsewhere...I think the Moderators will allow that freedom.

--there ain't no out of the closet gay---

Just think of BB2 and you think of Kent & Bunky and what a hoot they were
and BB3 would have been truly lacking without Marcellus

Must be a motto in this

'BB Lame without the GAY'

I agree Lucas...I just posted something about Dana in the Debate Thread and it didn't even move to the top of the threads. Just posted it and left it hanging in the bottom.

I have been now watching Amazing Race, Paradise Hotel and last nights Last Comic STanding, which is now over. OH ya...and can't forget Who wants to Marry my Dad? LOL I'm such a reality TV junky!!! LOL

P.S. Not a slam to the moderator either.

This forum is sooooooo much better than the show.

There is more intelect discussion than in the house.

AS needs to hire some from this board to interview next years BB contestants.

1) These people are really bad players. There's no sense of urgency for viewers. No need. Everything these players do is so overt, you can't miss it. And if you DO miss it, it'll be exactly the same the NEXT time you watch. Meh.

2) The 'X Factor' cut down on interaction. Why should Jee get to know Erica? He bonded with Robert and ROBERT educated him on Erica(slanted as it may have been). Do you think Nathan will ever REALLY scheme with Justin? Nope. He'll just "send" Allison. Meh.

3) Amanda and Michelle may have been the "weakest" players, but we'll never really have known since THEY DIDN'T HAVE A FREAKIN' CHANCE. TPTB created an "US vs. THEM" mentality before all 13 HGs even entered the house. Look at the divide right now - it's STILL the same "US vs. THEM" from Day 1. Dana switched sides; Jun planned on straddling the fences from the start; Allison is contemplating the idea. The other 10 HGs were/still are firmly entrenched in the "U v. T" skirmishes, whether they even knew it existed or not! Bad call, BB! Meh.

4) The HGs are mostly young and snotty, full of "p1$$ & vinegar". During most of the "reality contest" shows, viewers declare a favorite or underdog - someone they can relate to. Who should I relate to? The girl who seems like her game plan is to use sex as a weapon? The bigoted pretty boy who worships himself? The sexist Asian guy? Or the sexist Cuban guy? How about the woman who can't control her emotions? Or the girl who is overly critical of the flaws of others while ignoring her own like her you-know-what doesn't stink? Or the two older people who choose not to get involved with the childish others, to the extent they they don't seem to play the game at all? Meh.

The new TV season can't start soon enough for me. These days, most of my TV watching is done watching DVD collections of good TV seasons past. I don't think someone could pay me enough to watch a DVD collection of BB4...

I couldn't have said it better myself Pantageas!

BB better do something to liven things up. I don't even get excited to read the boards anymore. Now I just pop into the discussion thread to see if anything exciting has happened lately.

I'm so bored I even went and posted in the Paradise Hotel thread and Who will marry my Dad? thread!!!! LOL

I have the feeds but I barely watch them. Everytime I do, I get bored. I keep waiting for a twist. I want something unexpected to happen. Now it is just 2 sides of the house. I watch to see who is the HOH and once we know it is predictable who will get nommed and booted. I don't adore any of the HG and I also don't love to hate any of them. I dislike them more because they are boring than because of their spirit. I want new HGs!

Luke, I was wondering what in the world you were referring to. Now I see, thanks to Mizinvanccouver.

I do agree with you, Luke. Nonetheless, I think it's a combination of things: The forum is just slow for its own reason; and the show is slow.

The show was pretty interesting to me, for a start, until now. Now it feels boring. I'm not sure if I'll still be watching the show after tonight, provided things go as people have indicated (i.e., Dana leaves). There aren't many people with defined and strong personalities. The strong personalities are usually the ones that make the shows interesting. Last year it was Amy, Josh, Danielle (in spite of my prayer that she was evicted), Marcellas, maybe Lori (if she stayed), and of course Roddy. This year there are a few that come close, but no one seems to reach that level; not even Alison or Jun. The only exception is Dana. Honestly, this show reminds me of BB2. I really didn't care for the show until Ken and Krista were evicted. The show was picking up and approaching its climax at that point.

On the other hand, things are slow at this forum. I remember things being so active last year. I think it's because of the change as pointed out by Luke. I didn't even realize that there was a separate thread for debating. That may explain some things the mods did. Well, it may be helpful to make it easily noted. It would also be nice to be able to have free thoughts. I mean we should be able to just have open conversation and let it flow naturally. Arranging threads for debates about specific persons and then putting them in a subdirectory isn't helpful at all. I think people have less will to do things if they have to go through so much trouble to accomplish it. Lastly, of course as I said earlier the characters aren't very commanding this year.
