I have been challenged to talk about the things I like about this year's show. And although I admit that this isn't my favorite cast of characters (so far) and I am not a cheerleader by nature, there are lots things that I like about this year.

First of all the casting: I like that we got to see a couple of Asians in this years cast. Also, a couple of people with Latin blood. I think that had been missed in previous casts...and am glad to see these groups being represented.

Although I was adamately opposed to having a 19 year old on the cast...like Jack...I think Michelle was a sweetie and her presence is missed.

With all the "are they gonna finally do it???" with Lisa and Eric last year...I am glad that David and Amanda finally did...ending all the complaining that "all the other countries BB casts have sex in the house why can't ours?"

I like that Scott was outspoken and created drama in the early episodes when everyone is tiptoeing around feeling each other out. I am sorry that he got himself kicked out ...but he added himself to the list of unlikeble BB characters...like Justin and Will Mega....not everyone should be likable.

I like the behind the scenes work that David and Jack did to keep Erika in the house that resulted in one of the biggest surprise evictions ever (since the public voted out Brit in BB1). The looks on the faces of the exes were priceless.

I like that Dana is playing the game. Like her or hate her the girl is playing and not standing around waiting her turn to be evicted. the shift in power of the house was HUGE....and her whole nominating process riveting.

I like the challenges. I think BB has done a good job coming up with some creative challenges that look fun.

I like that they got rid of America's choice...it was lame.

I like watching the smart players play smart and the others making fools of themselves.

I like watching the group dynamic develop and then disolve...just when you think you have it figured out...you don't.

I like this show...and I will continue to watch.

Feel feed to add yours.

Look! Dueling threads!

and what do you like? :)

I like Nate's using the VETO, eh, eh... really, I can't think of anything else I like on BB4... it's easier to say what I don't like but I never posted on that thread since I find it pointless...

The things I like refer to the BB concept in general not just BB4, like the DR, the isolation, the scheming and competitions and most of all the evictions, since I want them out more than I want them to stay... maybe it's a subconscious wish I have to be FREE, I never liked to watch a bird in a cage... oh well...

I like the DR clips of Jack. It isn't what he says, it's the tone of voice and facial expression, or something. Whatever it is, he gives me a chuckle.

I like Dave trying to jump onto the punching bag upside-down.

I like that I don't have to listen to the live feeds.

I like that I am ignorant to how stupid the HG's are.

I like that I haven't been privy to any of their scintillating conversations.

(Ooops. I think I may need to excuse myself from this thread now)

I love that Nate used the POV, just because its been used! I like that not one group has had total power so far. And even though people are flip flopping and my head is spinning, I like the fact that it's not totally predictible.

Ok I'll try my very best:

I like David and his sense of humor.

I liked Jack naming his duck "precious."

I thought the duck pond for the POV was very pretty and wish they left it up longer.

Um...Ok I tried. That's all I got...but I tried.

I like that everything Wargod likes, encompasses everything others don't like.

I dunno, whenever I hear the name "precious" I think: Silence of the Lambs. Why?

I like the edited "T.V. Jun" better than the "Internet-Feed Jun".

I like that someone finally had sex on BB. With that finally out of the way the producers can remove, "potential to have sex in front of cameras" as a key selection requirement for future editions.

I agree with Spunky, it's the concept of BB that I like the most, but what makes me really enjoy the experience is reading these TVCH conversations and Bunny. Where I do like watching the show, it's really the combination of both mediums that makes it great. It's like eating cookies with milk. Just watching the hamsters isn't enough, but once you add everyone's comments and theories, it makes it a great show.

I like the fact that I got over last year and what I believe my perception of this BB should be and that I can appreciate the show for what it is...entertainment.

I like the fact that I have TVCH to enjoy late night early morning discussions with "someone(s)" when drama happens.

I like that I can come to this site and laugh

I like that someone actually used the POV

I like that I don't have a "favorite" that I am passionate about and can enjoy the drama for what it is and not what I want it to be!

What ever else you want to say about these kids, you've got to admit, they are ALL playing the game. They hit the front door ready to deal and scheme. (That's positive...right?).

They dont sit on the food counter or put their dirty feet on it.

I like the fact that I sit there for an hour and think of nothing else but the people I am seeing on screen - I'm not thinking about anything else but BB for that hour!! I so look forward to the days/time it is on..THAT IS MY HOUR!!!!!!!!!!

It’s the drama, paranoia, and the naive thinking that goes on in the house that keeps me involved.

I like Dave.

I like Jun.

I like Jee.. he's so earnest about learning card games and tricks and being "Mr Fixit".

I also liked Jack naming his ducky "Precious" and I do think he was referring to the little dog owned by the serial murderer in Silence of the Lambs.. I'm quite sure Jack has see that movie more than once (me too).

I like having TVCH to enhance the experience.

I like watching Jee go from a quiet servant mouse, to a gangster mouse, to a fixer-upper more out spoken mouse.

What will it be next week Jee?

I like that all the players are playing - ie, there are fewer loose cannons than last year.

I like Jun and Jee for bringing some much needed diversity to the cast.

I like Jack, just 'cause he's interesting and makes amusing DR entries.

I like that Cliotheleo gave me a greater appreciation for the furniture in the BB house.

I like that everyone thinks Justin is playing Dana when I think it is the other way around.

I like that the Live Feed Posters are doing such an excellent job this year since I can't get them this year (they crash my #$%$ old computer).

I like the turtles better than the lizards, but I still wonder what is wrong with getting something furry - cat, dog, bunny?

I like that Dana switched sides and eliminated an entire season of possible pagonging.

I like the premise of trying this type of show. I can not imagine the difficulties I would face if it were my most significant "ex" that was on the show with me, but I'm enjoying the 'train wreck' which is the other's and their "ex's" on the show.

I enjoy seeing Jun and Jee (very quietly at first) play both sides of the fence from the stand point of the game. Jun is my favorite. I do not agree with her opinions and her comments, but she is my favorite of this bunch. I did like Nicole, even in week 1 on that first day.

I enjoy watching the original 8 fall apart faster than a house of playing cards in a hurricane. We all knew it would happen even faster than the "group of 6" fell apart last year.

I enjoy watching the horrible language and the even more horrible comments to help remind me what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' about even the 'beautiful' people who have very ignorant opinions. It just reminds us all of the never-ending human nature that 'beauty is skin deep but ugly goes clear through to the bone', even in some of the the very same under 'life-educated' young people with a college degree.

I still enjoy the mental game of playing along "if I were sitting next to you as you made that inane/insensitive/ignorant comment, I would immediately say the following right back at you as a response to your comment" with some of the HGs. Just as Lori said something right back to Dany with the comments about confronting Gerry. You can see that I would last about as long as Lori did in this game.

I still enjoy mentally playing the producer of this show. Seeing how the producers chose to manipulate the order of the games to create the most drama possible. The laser light show game for Marcellas when he was the lankiest player and needed the Golden Veto. The balancing game for Amy to win when she was the beauty queen and had also promised Roddy she would veto his nomination. Most importantly, the question, "How many times have the HGs been married?", when the producers wanted Krista to win the HOH that week.

I'm still enjoying this show because even at my advanced age, I'm a never-ending student of Psychology. This show is always more illuminating than Candid Camera as to showing how people really think and behave.

I am enjoying the game, the people, the coniving... this is the best BB to date, and it seems in part to good casting. I think the producers did put more thought into who they selected and did get a pretty dynamic group. Putting some x's in the house was dirty... but a fun move.

I enjoy seeing the people go through survellience day in and day out, as said above (ok... I am paraphrasing) it is a very good psychology experiment.

I love evictions and HoH, Nominations & POV (and the resulting scheming/schmoozing)

(the following is from one of my posts from the other thread - which is more suited to this one:-)

I loved observing the initial formation of alliances, watching the stooges being slimy as hell (even towards Dana), Robert's personality & sleazy comments (drives me insane), Dave and Amanda's flirting/sexing, Dave's plan to save Erika, Alison trying to seduce Justin, Nate going off on her, seeing Jun drunk off her as*, listening to everything that comes out of Jee's mouth (cracks me up!), watching Dave being goofy, wondering who Dana would nominate, wondering if Nate will use the veto or not, etc.

And now, wondering if Jack or Dave will be booted on Wednesday!
