Even though I think Jack is the most boring, I see him as being the most likable. I tend to like Dave too because he seems to have made the fewest disgusting comments out of the remainder, even though he's had his unkind moments too. Ericka is hovering...then all the rest are same-same...just different faces on the same ugly attitudes.

I'm with you John. I like Jack but I think he is safe for this week, isn't he? Aren't they planning on keeping him and getting rid of Ali (or if she is vetoed than Dave)? I don't have feeds but the last thing I read seemed to indicate that was the plan. I hope so anyway.

but I doubt he will win it all

i like jack the most and don't want to see him go, but ali shakes up the house more...and this group is more than a little bland.

I hope I'm the only person who watches the t.v. show.

well, i like jack, but i don't care if he leaves. these people are boring as hell.

then again, they are never awake when i am! i am in the central time zone, and they don't even start their day until it's time for me to start dinner!

i wish they would bring back the dance marathon!

I want Dave to win, but if Nate saves Ali, then Dave may go.

I don't think Dana would put David up if Ali is vetoed I think she would put Erika up, then it's anybody's guess who they would vote out. These people do not think logically.

To the original question: not really and not really.

I think BB screwed the pooch this year with the 'X-Factor'. And not only did they screw it one way, they screwed it TWICE:

1) A big part of this show is watching alliances/rivalries build. They took 10 of the 13 house guests and GAVE them one friend/foe from the get go. Gee thanks, BB. No new relationships to forge when there are previous ones that go back YEARS...

2) They started with *8* HGs in the house(with an opportunity to strategize) from the beginning, and brought in *5* later. The "Exes" stepped to the plate with a couple of strikes already against them. Part of the reason the J3 got together is that they were hanging together after being given the brush-off from the 'Elite 8' at the beginning. Can you imagine if Survivor put 5 people in each camp from the beginning, and added 3 to each camp later? Or if they gave one camp 10 players, and the other 6? What were you thinking, BB?

With Dana's incredibly innane move, making this the WORST BB in history, I no longer care at all. The good guys will get picked off and there is no way I will watch the "nightmare team" for even one more episode. I just keep getting madder and madder.

Someone asked on another board why we (me) keep complaining and watching. The answer is that we (me) wanted so badly for it to get better. I just don't see that happening. So I will not keep watching and will visit this board just to see how ya'll put your take on this.

I do this this may be the most boring BB of all.....and I too joic the chorus of those who will not watch if the "good guys" (i.e. Jack, David & Nathan, Erica) get kicked out.

If your complaint is that the show is boring, you should want players like Jack and Erika to go!

And why are they the "Good Guys"?? Aren't they the ones who unfairly decided to systematically evict people who happened to enter the house all of 120 minutes later? That seems pretty mean to me, to use your greater numbers like that. And if they get their way, this will be a boring season.

If I'm watching this show (which I am), then I care. There are weeks I care more strongly than other weeks, but I always care.

i'll tell you what I care about....someone next week getting Dana the heck out of there. IMO I find her the most annoying of all the houseguests. I also find her ONE of the most childish. Listening to her convos with robert and justin after nominations were so self congratulatory I turned her off! I'm not a huge fan of Ali and Nate but i'd watch them any day. My favorite for entertainment value tho is Dave :)

No, I don't care one bit. I don't have the feeds and watch the show only half the time. Arnie messed up this season. It is as bad as Survivor Africa was. The only potential mitigating factor that might save the show is that they have always made up the rules as they went along. Remember Curtis going to the Emmy's? No outside contact-right. So maybe they can get us some interesting characters to replace these dull ones. Hopefully the BB5 producers will learn from their fiasco this season. I always liked BB, sometimes even better than Survivor. I was looking forward to it this summer. I hope AS and company do their homework and give us a show we care about next season.

Well after watching the feeds tonight and all of them minus Jack and Erica making randy asses out of themselves, I vote for Jack and Erica to win...hands down.

If tonight doesn't light a fire under AS and set him to making some quick changes to BB4 then he shouldn't be Producer. The only worthwhile contestants are JED and 1 of them is quickly becoming questionable. What a mess TPTB have made of things. /rant. sorry.

Ya, I forgot about Dave...but he's been ... odd too...I am reall sick of hearing the guys tear apart Jun's looks also because she's chubby...give me a break.

I agree with Auntie, they need to bring back the BB1 type challenges. Dance marathon would be good, see Erika bouncing to the tunes.

I don't care about either at this point. Maybe that will change.

As to bringing back BB1 type challenges - I would opt for just bringing back BB1 TYPE HGs.

I miss the good ole days.

Since I cancelled the live feeds, I really don't know any of the hg's very well. But it does seem like an undereducated, boring, self-absorbed group of media***res. In that event, I hope the meanest, nastiest, most viscious and undeserving houseguest wins. There are no "good guys" here.

I will enjoy seeing them leave the house one after the other...thank goodness there can only be ONE winner and I hope she/he will choke on it.

I bet they are having alot of people cancel the live feeds because it is boring, and maybe they will learn, to let people see the interesting parts that they go to foth. I hope they lose alot of money this

I am interested in the upcoming HOH. I hope Ali or Nate get it then we can look for another about face. I dont understand why Jack and Erika could take the position that they wont compete in HOH.

I dont really care who wins this BB but contrary to the majority opinion I would like to see Dana or Jun get it. I dont really care though.

This week the HOH will be from the Jack/Erika/Nathan/Allison group

The producers control the outcome of the HOH competition like puppeteers handling their marionettes. Last night in the room where this group was gathered, they were all going over how in the diary room the producers were coaching them on typical questions which will be asked in the HOH competition, one of many sample questions was about what sayings or phrases do different houseguest use ("Golleee" for Nathan)and other different kinds of questions. The other group didn't mention any such coaching and they weren't practicing. Very suspicious.

Millions of dollars are at stake here. The producers are not going to allow this to be predictable or repetitive (if Dana's group wins HOH then they might just put up Allison and Jack again).

Like professsional wrestling, this is not a competition, but instead manufactured entertainment, a sort of "contestainment." People have fun with it, either pretending it is fair, or just not knowing or caring.
