They did a 1/2 hour re Jack's knowledge of JFK's murder. So what. What happen to the luxury game and the McDonalds game that we didn't see. Jack is out of there.

They're keeping that stuff for Tuesdays show, these people are so boring they need to stretch the few minutes of excitement as long as they can.

So was the big question of did he act alone when he killed JFK answered? Jack thinks so, but what does everyone else think. He was almost protesting too much when ever anyone brought up the idea he didn't act alone. I almost felt like I was back in highschool watching Jack trying to explain the shooting.

I think he was trying to explain that he acted alone, but he took too long on explaining it. He should have said he acted alone and a short answer. Instead he took to long to answer. Why was that brought up?

I thought they dragged the show too. Too much turtle action as well as the JFK stuff...

However I did get a kick out of the Robert/tick/face stuff...

I thought the turtles, were more interesting then Jack explaining JFK's murder.

I think Jack expounds on the JFK assassination often. I think I heard him say JFK was a hero of his. That COULD have been stated more succinctly to us on the show. The whole show was pretty 'ho-hum'. (Funny I haven't heard Jack mention the FBI's investigation of their very own mole, Robert Hansen.)

I think they waste time on ALL the shows. They have a "previously on Big Brother" segment and then they always have a black and white segment of the key plot points since last time immediately following. Why?

Jagger

I've noticed that also Crazydog, they spend several minutes each show showing what happened the show before. Not sure if this is to fill up the time slot or if it is to give the viewers a refreshment of what happened previously. It may be for those viewers who only catch the show occasionally?

I did like the segment on Rob and his habits was pretty humorous.

At least it was the first in a while that they didn't paint a picture of St.Robert.
I didn't have enough of it though, hope that means BB is ready to show us what Rob is really like in the TV shows to come.

I think all the reality shows do that bit of recap and ceremonies of this and that. Kinda remind me of church service with all the rituals. But they are probably here to stay.

I don't have solid proof but do feel that the (asst.) producers of the show are very likely checking boards a lot this year.
Let's keep telling them what we like or dislike about the show.

No I don't think they are checking the boards because I would think they would have taken some ideas games, that we have thought of.

I think the JFK segment may have been a bit long, but I thought it was nice that they added it. Jack has gone on about this numerous times in the house, but it is the first time they've shown it on TV. It tells something about his profession, something about his generation, who he admires, etc.

I liked them showing Robert blow-up and instant change of tune when he found out it was Jee. To me, it didn't speak well for his character when he was willing to nearly assasinate Jun for it, but if Jee did it, it wasn't a problem.

Robert figit segment was funny.

They did a fairly decent job of showing Jee's 1:1's with the various players. What they didn't show was Rob's imput - they should have. They also managed to NOT show that Erika was the preferred target. I don't know if they should show this or not (prefered target), but I'm accustomed to the editors avoiding these details like the plague, so it didn't suprise me.

They managed to show Jee's continued alliance with Jun despite Rob not wanting one. To me, this continues to be one of the more interesting dynamics in the house. Partly because I still don't know how it will play out.

The closing of the desert room was over played. Especially because two minutes later we see Jack sitting in there for the Veto/bribe/PB&J comp.

Because of all the stuff mentioned in posts above I am so glad I taped this show so I could go camping instead. Made it really easy last night to watch the tape and fast forward through practically the entire hour!!! I get more info from reading the Clubhouse postings than I do from the actual show.

I'm not sure if it was this show or another recent one, but they showed 'Justin, you are evicted from the big brother house' THREE times during the episode. One during the recap, once again at the start of the show and once again somewhere in the middle talking about the 'dream team' I'm like, 'Okay! Justin was evicted, I think the tv audience gets that now!'

I think that JFK crap was the most boring thing I have ever seen on any BB show in four years.

Hey OI... didya ever think that maybe they hadda finally do a segment on Jack and (in my opinion) since he's so boring, they had so little material with which to work? <grin>

Seriously, in my opinion, Jack is one of the more boring players in all of BB. I can't remember at what point in Saturday's show -- likely it was during his audience with HOH Jee -- but I was thinking, "here we go again; Jack is spouting off all sorts of strategy and he's got no clue what he's talking about."

But I do think they needed to finally showcase him (Jack) and therefore decided to (continue to) air all that stuff about his previous career. Uh, BB? Hello! I *get* it that he's retired FBI. I *get* it that you think that ought to be something fascinating. I *get* it that you think he's gonna be the world's best player because of his experience. I don't "get" why you keep bringing up that information (unless, of course, you agree he's boring).

All of the above are my opinions. You, of course, are entitled to your own.

I taped Saturdays show and still haven't watched it yet. I was planning to do it tonight. Sounds like a waste of time. So I'm taking a poll. Watch or don't watch.

Hobbs, I would watch the show with remote in hand. This will allow you to fast forward past the most boring parts. However, it *was* a tad bit amusing to *finally* see a segment on Robert's tics, so be sure to tune in to that one.

I'm finding, this season, that it is far better to tape the show and watch it later. That way, I *can* skip the parts that are boring or don't interest me, and watch the parts that may provide some amusement or entertainment or insight into the houseguests and their respective behaviours.

If nothing else, I hope this helps jack to get his JFK book published. I know I'd buy a copy.

If that happens, Jack might end up the big winner after all. If it got published and became a top seller, Jack would make out much better than the BB winner.
Here's hoping (also hoping the big publishing houses are paying attention)

Don't waste your time on the show. Tape over it

I record almost everything I watch, Costa, and watch all my tapes with remote in hand, primed and ready with my finger on the fast forward button - it saves me hours of wasted time, LOL!
