BB4 HG's are such whiners, they're nasty, rude, crude, say they don't even want to be there. They signed up to be on the show. How can they complain? I have not read the feeds before this season, but wonder if HG's in BB3 acted the same. Anyone out there that can compare the two?

Absolutely, the housemate in BB3 complained just as the Housemates in the first two BB games complained but the difference between all other Big Brothers and this one is that the HouseMates in 2 and 3 (i'm not including 1 because it was a different sort of game) had the ability to step away from the game now and again and made some fun. Sometimes the fun would be just having meaningful conversations with the other housemates or telling stories or telling jokes...a lot of time they would make up games to amuse themselves ( where do you think "duckball" came from). Other times they would sit around and talk about life experiences which usually lead to some of the most outragous moments that occured on the live feeds. So i guess to anwser all the BB contestants to date have complained to some degree ..more then others ..but there was always someone in the house able to rise out of th "game" and pull everyone else with them even for a short time. This group lacks that ability..it is all game all the time with them .I've been watching this group as i have all others before them and have ,as of yet heard an "real" conversation or seen any real drive to escape the "game" for any length of time. These are only my opinions of course and i'm sure lots of folks on this board will dissagree with me but I just don't think this cast came fully equiped with all the social skills needed to be a real human being.

Absolutely agree with you Theo..each year the HG whine and complain about the game, their fellow houseguest, and about BB (like they didn't volunteer for this game and are free to walk out at anytime if willing to give up the money) but the hope of BIG MONEY keeps each and everyone one of them there every year..I don't remember even one voluntary exit, not even the ones in the house when they found out about 9/ll. The lack of real conversation this year I believe is due to the lack of maturity in the house this year. Oh we hear alot about dance team and pageants from Ali and we heard a little about the FBI/Kennedy from Jack but that is all the real conversations I can remember from this year. The X factor may have played a part in this this year.
I just wish when someone is loudly complaining and whining about being in the house..someone would get in their face and remind them that they are free to leave at any time! Watch them backpeddal then. LOL

They all complain, that's just the nature of the game.

However, I found last year's group much more dynamic than this year's. Roddy, Dani, Chiara, Marcellus, Amy, Jason, and Lisa were all much more entertaining than ANYONE in this year's game.

it may be a game that ali is playing but I think she had to have some practice out in the real world to be that good at lying, sneaking, back-stabbing, conniving, and changing horses mid stream. It just seems to come from her too naturally for me to believe that it isn't part of her normal personality outside the house.

do you think her friends are different than she is - I doubt that - and I'm sure they are cheering her on - though I'm also sure that they are jealous that they aren't the ones there in the spotlight.

So far all she's really done to be there this long is to hop to whoever is in power.

The only game move she made was when she had the HOH she played to get rid of dana instead of justin, who was a much stronger player. Dana saw through her, knew what she was doing and had no problem calling her (or anyone) out about it. So ali had to get her out before she exposed her as the two-faced lying witch that she is.

I thought it was great to see how worried ali was that jun might talk to someone when she was out of the house - what she really meant was hear what ali was really saying and doing.

I think its a shame that the stronger players got dumped first, leaving the weak, whiny, shallow, neurotic jerks to watch on the feeds and claim the money.

I'd love to have a feed at the other house - all the interesting people are there now.

I agree that they do seem to end up doing a lot of complaining or start to have meltdowns at the end....I guess some of this is just normal after being isolated for so long, but it gets old listening to all the whining about it.

I really don't remember much whining or complaining at all in BB1, but then it is almost a blur when I try to remember that first season, so maybe I just forgot. lol

I do think the HG's should be given more things to occupy their time, such as games, books to read, or more activities.

One of the things that bothers me almost as much as the complaining though is how the HG's come into the house "expecting" to be given luxuries, concerts, big offers of money, and such and complaining how they aren't getting as much as BB HG's in the past.

Each group is certainly different and a study in social interaction and human behavior. That is one of the things that makes it so interesting to watch.

It seems to me that there was a lot more camaraderie with BB3 than BB4. Sure, there were particular houseguests who didn't like each other, but on the whole it seems to me they got along better. In BB4 you had those alliances drawn up right away, and there was a lot of bad blood right up front.

With BB3 you had least had people getting together to play chess all the time. They don't have anything like that this year - that giant chessboard I guess has been a bust.

On the whole, I like the houseguests from BB3 much better. This year we got Alison and Robert, two of the most despicable houseguests to ever make it on the show. And worse, they have made it far into the game.
