Geez, why can't we have a 2 hour finale??? We wait all this week, anticapating something really spectacular to look forward to, but why do I get the feeling that all the fireworks will be duds? lol, a small puff of smoke. Man, that wouldn't surprise me. I want to see something juicy! and nasty! yeah! 1 hour isn't enough for that :(

Have you forgotten what show you're talking about? :)

It is one hour because it is premiere week for new shows; had it been last week (a much lower-rated week) it more likely would have been longer.

Yup. We got a one-hour finale because CBS added an extra week in the middle of the season. We also got last Friday's lousy clip show because of it. We also got a week of live feeds showing nothing but two whiny contestants because of it. Gee, thanks, Les!

Even though it's only an hour, I hope Donnie has a prominent place on the dais. I want to see him play stare down with Alison for 45 minutes, then when she doesn't get the big prize, tell her that he was done with her F%^^i*g a** as he walks away with Justin to grab a beer and compare horror stories.

Wood, can we please make this the one single thread that doesn't find a way to denounce Ali? Ali is not the topic in this room.

That was a joke. I thought it was funny. Insert Bob and Jee and I still think it's funny. I'm denouncing no one. Heck, put me and an ex of mine in there.

Inserting Bob & Jee in that would be hilarious! Boy would Jun and Carmen be p**sed off!

hehehe :)

I would think that 1 hour is all that is needed to show the jury questions, announce the winner and then a few questions to the hgs. BB sure won't likely be showing the clips of Ali and Jun and their garbage mouths. Of course the others will find out once it is over.

UGH!!!!!!! I'm not a fan of either remaining HG. I woke up this morning and actually thought...it's finally over tomorrow! How sad. This season had so much potential and turned out so boring. Ali is my least favorite HG (sorry, Bastable...free speech) and Jun is second or third in the yuckiest ranking. BORING! I will be 'happy?' if Ali only wins second. What a waste.

I have to admit that this is the first year that I've been happy to see BB come to an end. I don't anticipate having withdrawals like I've had in previous years. I'll watch tomorrow night, mainly just to see the evicted houseguests & see what questions they will ask. I don't like either of the finalist, but I dislike Jun & little less than Ali, so I guess I hope she wins.

Don't worry. One hour will feel like two.:)

If BB attracted Survivor-sized ratings, we'd definitely get a 2-hour finale. By the time that happens, Robert's daughter will be a grandmother.

nmbeach, I must say, you said exactly what I was thinking. I have never been more disappointed with this show. The ending has just stunk. I don't want either of these contestants to win, but feel a yerning need to watch the end and get it over with. I hope next year is better. I have allways loved bb and am now just anxious to get it over with.

Woodpecker--- you crack me up. lol on the donnie/justin comment and the jee/bob comment as well.

Would'nt it be funny to see a "Paradise Hotel" style gang attack by the evicted HG's on those poor "innocent" girls ?

While a lot of people here are complaining (and rightly so imho)about this year's show, it is the highest rated of the four big brother's.

Sad to say but this is probably going to be the high point compared to the next three.

In Hollywood, they figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

TVCH is what made this season tolerable. Thanks for a great summer.

I think an hour an a half would be better, but I guess we'll take what we can get. (Darn though.)

I am SOOOOOO excited for tonight's finale!!! It's kind of bittersweet, though, because then the show will be over.

It looks like that new show following BB will be good though (The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hamphsire). It's kind of a dry title, but from the previews I think it looks similar to Northern Exposure (besides of course that it's not in Alaska). Did anyone else love Northern Exposure?

I'm usually sad to see BB ending but this year it can't happen fast enough. A half an hour would be even better. :)

The only bb finale I was not disappointed in was, bb2.... :( Oh well. Maybe this one will be different even though its only an hour? Hopeful - :)

I never thought I would say this, but I am just going to check the spoilers thread because I would rather watch the season premiere of West Wing. I am more interested in finding out who kidnapped Zoey than who wins BB this year.

Over the years I have been a bb addict, felt passionately about one player or another. This year I havent watched the last two weeks and dont feel any excitement at all about the finale.

I loved Northern Exposure and I agree it looks like the Brotherhood of Poland is exactly like Northern exposure or even Picket Fences.

Enjoy BB tonight folks and see you all next year.

Thank heavens it's only one hour and not two ...

I don't think an hour is enough time. I want to see the jury watching the tapes of the entire season and I want to see their reactions. Lots of them. I want to see extensive questioning.

im glad for only 1 hr but only cause thats all my fingers can handle for spoiling in chat.

It's ironic, bc I have criticized other reality shows for stretching out their finales into a ridiculous 2 hours that was all filler, no substance. However-- I really think that this season deserves a 2 hour finale. There is so much to review, bc of the jury house. I don't know how they can effectively cover it in 1.

(I'm sure it will be great though--IMHO the main reason (other than eye-candy casting) that this season was so highly rated, is that the producers have gotten MUCH better at editing the show. In past seasons, I was all about the live feeds and felt sorry for people who had to watch the watered down TV version. This year, I think they have done an excellent job-- the shows are much more compelling. And conversely, the live feeds are dull!)

I'm glad it's only an hour show. I honestly can say that I will not miss any of this years houseguests.

It may of been the highest rated out of all the BB's but, it stunk up the joint.

Good bye BB 2003...sorry to say I won't miss you! Do not let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

I hope at the wrap party no one talks to the 2 girls as they have said time and again they don't want to go no one they want to talk to wish we could see that.....

LOL, Jhezzie.

I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if they all act fakey-nice and the whole thing bombs.

"I am more interested in finding out who kidnapped Zoey than who wins BB this year."

Ayup. I plan on watching West Wing and taping Bob the Bachelor tonight. BB is a distant third (and would be a distant fourth if I actually got a UPN station...)

I am not interested in this show tonight. Glad it will be over and will be a poor ending no matter what.

I'm sad to see it come to an end, as I am every summer... I also am upset they only give the finale 1 hour! What's with that??? Just my 2 cents. :)

Maris, Prison -- I'm in the same boat -- really want to see the jury take them both down --- but --DH is a West Wing nut and I want to see what happens to Zoey also -- I think the french kid had something to do with it --I know he drugged her - maybe somebody out to get him.....

And Bob -- who doesn't want to see BOB!!! Ugh...

For me this show was over a couple of weeks ago. So anything we get tonight is simply "extra"

Unless there is an all out brawl it's plenty long enough. They have already done the funniest moments show and that dragged on because there weren't that many funny moments. I say "thank goodness it's only an hour because I have more exciting things to do which involve an ironing board and some wrinkled clothes."

I can't figure out what they're going to do for a whole hour, but I'll be cutting my dinner date short anyway to watch who wins it. I'm once again hoping for a rats and snakes speech, and think Dana could pull it off if she's managed to maintain her bad attitude during her seven week Mexican vacation. These two deserve it.
