Thank you for the summaries! I don't always read them, but I enjoy them and I'm thankful for them when I do get to read them!

I love the Bunny's commentaries and would be lost without them. They are really the only fun thing about BB this year. No matter how the feeds and show are, Bunny always manages to see the funny side of things and that is very much needed. Just in case she can be bribed.............

I think another reason why it bothers me is that Bunny does this for free!! The only payment she gets are kudos and if you can't afford kudos, something is wrong.

Also, not only does Bunny write for us but she acknowledges anyone that thanks her in her inbox. She doesn't have to do that but she does!

Yes, Pamy, and I offer my VISA to purchase Grannyg's carrots for Bunny! ;-) Yet as Chiparock stated, the value of Bunny's Summaries is priceless. We are so fortunate to have them - Bunny's contribution cannot be measured in simple terms but would be missed so very much.

Bonza I saw that and was wondering if you were offering Bunny some Karats rather than carrots! I know they always work for me! :-)

I don't think anyone said anything to intentionally hurt Bunny, she was asking if people still wanted them, and said it was ok if they did not in her second paragraph.

She wants to hear from both sides in my opinion.

Bear, I left her some of those in her Inbox. Just in case they work better. LOL

Honestly I don't think it's totally necissary to pop in and say "I don't read them" but I don't think it's totally rude for someone to let her know that since she's 'polling' here. Had they said "I don't read them because they are _______" (something negative) then that'd be different. But for example I don't read the 'outside the house' area - that doesn't mean they are bad or anything - I just never happen to make it there. TVCH is such a big place. So anyhow - just saying I really don't think anyone intended to be rude just helping give the feedback she asked for - it comes across as polling for information and they were sharing their info. That's all.

Hugs all around :)

Whatever strikes Bunny's fancy, Bearware! ;-)

Say, I'm going to try to send Nate to her!!!

OOOHHHHHHHH Granny those are TERRIFIC! What a cute graphic! It was just perfect!

Cross, I understand what you are saying but I think she wants to know if the people that actually READ them want her to continue, if you have never read them why would you take the time to tell her. I guess I am just baffled that someone wouldn't read them, why wouldn't you??

Ok..back on the real topic YES PLEASE BUNNY!!!! YOU ROCK!!

Bunny, I would miss your summaries more than you could understand. They make me laugh and give me comfort in knowing that the information you say is so available in the LFP is transformed into something that is way beyond just the facts of the events.

You have a wonderful gift/ability to take most anything in the BB house and turn it into something amusing and funny. You also have, at times, mixed in amazing insight into the present house you are writing about and past houses.

I do know that way more people read your summaries than who write and give you aknowledgment. Heck, there are thousands who look at this site who don't even register so they can post once. Your writings touch many people in a special way.

I think many BB fans would miss your summaries. I think there are some non-BB fans who would miss them as well.

With that said, I would also like to say that I don't know what you are feeling as to why the burn out is taking place. I don't know what new directions your life or your interest are moving toward. So it's hard to say anything about how you should proceed. I think that is best left up to you to decide.:):)

The summaries are yours Bunny--you are just kind enough to share them with us. We have no right to demand they be done. All we have is the previlage of getting to read them because you share them.

I would hope that your summaries are something you can get something out of--first and foremost you have to enjoy them in some respect. If you don't, I'm not sure you would want to contniue them at all. Nor, in my opinion, should you.

I think it's great you are asking our opinion--it's great you care what we think about your summaries. The one person who you didn't ask, or at least hasn't really shared their opinion, and who opinion counts the most, is you, Bunny.

What would make you happy? What would make you feel like you are doing something you want? What would you need to do so you get enjoyment?

If you keep writing them (every day, once a week, once a month) I will keep reading them--and enjoying them like you can't imagine. If you stop, I will have had the pleasure of reading every sinlge summary you've ever written---and will feel no different about you for stopping, because I would want you to do what works best for Bunny.:)

Bonza - Nate would be terrific!

Whit - I understand your point, I guess I was feeling a bit protective - I don't want non-readers making Bunny feel like we don't love her. Thanks.

Bunny, I'd hate for you to stop, but would never want you to continue if you want to stop. But they don't go unread or unappreciated.

Lancecrossfire - beautifully stated!

Bunny, give us an email address and maybe through Paypal all your fans could make it a little more worthwhile to spend time on the summaries. :)

I agree with above statements about your commentaries being the best part of BB this year, bunny, and I thank you for that! I also think it has to be extremely difficult to even find anything to write about this particular BB group which makes your efforts twice as appreciated! And now with the so-called-twist-that-doesn't-even-exist-twist going on, it has to be really hard to maintain an interest in doing this any longer for this season. That said, I think many would understand if you wanted to cut the season short and stop for now. Either way, you're brilliant at what you do and we thank you! It's just a boring year for BB.

Bunny, you have given me lots of laughter! I always enjoy read your summaries! However, I understand if you can't do them anymore...Thanks for ALL that you have given us.

I would just like to ditto what Lance said. You know I love your summaries and have posted my enjoyment of them to you many times. Even though I would be sad if they ended, sometimes one has to do what is best for them. I will all always love you and respect any decision you make.

Bunny

Hmmmm.....wow! I don't know what to say! Yet. :)

Bunny, I will throw my two cents in as well. Your summaries are great, as you can tell many people enjoy them. You are very funny and have a special gift which you should explore elsewhere ( you definitely have a following).

Having said that, I can certainly understand how you find it hard to keep writing day after day. First of all, as the number of people decline it is hard to find what to write about especially when they sleep most of the time ! But it isn't necessarily an all or nothing thing, why don't you consider writing a weekly summary instead of a daily one. That way I think everyone wins, everyone can still read your wonderful work and it isn't as time consuming. You are already doing this on another website.

Bunny, I too enjoy your summaries very much. You can't stop now. My gosh, Jee alone has given you tons of stuff for this week. He took the bribe, won the food contest and now is gunning for the luxury contest. There's got to be some great humor in your writing from that.

Nope, this board wouldn't be the same without your summaries. Also, they are on other websites/reality TV sites aren't they? Your famous! :)

yep, she is famous! Even got a write up in USA TODAY!!!
Remember the day the board crashed from all the traffic comming here to read her summaries!?
