sun- i agree that this years HG just do not seem as interesting as last years and i have a hard time understanding why this years show is more popular, and fan sites aside it is more popular and higher in the rates than in the past.
BB HG have never done the circut and talk shows in the way survivor members are.

regaurdless for some reason the television views find this group more exciting than in the past.

just read EW where thy say "A series of firsts (sex,exes and one freaked out chair thrower)have transformed the 4 year0old reality show into summer's surprise hit. The thrice weekly peekaboo show consistently wins it's time slots in the advertiser friendly 18-49 demographic. Not bad for a house show that once seemed destined for forclosure."
They also quote allison Grodner as saying "it's the most naked cast we've ever had"
(which baffles me as my husband was just saying we haven't seen the naked photo's of HG this year like we have in the past)

When I read the part about "naked cast" I said "WHAT!!!" Maybe more people are just watching these types of reality shows- like Paradise Hotel. I personally don't compare BB to Paradise Hotel- but maybe others do. I am now meeting more and more people who watch reality shows. It the past- I have been the only one.

i was totaly blown away with the most naked cast comment...

You know what i think makes paradise hotel suck you in? The unexpected twists.. and just plan trying to figure out how you win the thing. lol
They turned expect the unexpected into an art form and do it much better than AS..

I would love to go on a blimp!!!

But.. when Will and Bunky won, they just had to blow up balloons.. today they had to do a task none of them found at all appealing..

Ali says she has a fear of flying, Erika says she also kind of does. Jun gets airsick.

Isn't it strange the 2 people that compained the most actually win the prize.

It looks like both Ali and Jun have some Jee in them.

Ha ha The most naked cast??? These women are much more modest than last year. Lisa ran around thonged most of the time, Chiara in her underwear, Roddy peeled a few times and Tonya....well, lets not go there.
I often wonder about why interviews such as EW print/report inaccurate comments like that....sensationalism I guess.

What I dont understand is....If Ali and Jun didnt want the prize Blimp ride, why didnt they go kinda slow and let Robert have it?? Seems a little cruel to me.

sun since the naked quote came from a BB producer i think EW would not concider it inaccurate. If you want to blame anyone for inaccuracy blame allison Grodner.

I wish BB would tell them that since the girls do not like the prize, Robert gets to go, and his sweet daughter will be his date!!! Robert would just think he was the biggest winner of all. I could see his face... all lite up and weepy eyed. What a wonderful thing it would be for him and his daughter.

Regarding Ali's smarts, or potential lack thereof, I have to say that there is a difference between education and intelligence, between ignorance and stupidity. Knowing or not knowing a set of facts (such as how blimps work) has more to do with ignorance of a topic or lack of experience in that area than it does with intelligence. Alison is young and seems somewhat sheltered (to a degree) and would naturally be lacking education in a variety of topics. We all are- young and old alike! I don't think that particular ignorance indicates stupidity on her part.

As for the popularity of the show- posters here are nostalgic for past seasons, which I think influences our view of present seasons. People are waxing nostalgic about Marcellus and Amy- but last year many posts were about how annoying and mean and grating they were, apparently unlike hg on previous seasons. Next year, I bet we'll be saying, "Remember the "dream team"?? Where's the comaraderie this year??" LOL

Re the "naked" comment. Naked isn't always used to denote being without clothing. You can hear phrases like 'nakedly ambitious, nakedly greedy' etc. Both descriptors I used could be applied to
many of the contestents.

Mystery...GPA is about grades. Not intelligence. Grades are subjective. Alison has shown what a manipulator she is. High GPA does not surprise me. Can you imagine her campaign against a teacher that did not give her a good grade? I'm sure there were a few teachers she couldn't push around, but the girl is a master. We're not talking about a typical student. Everything I have seen about Alison is scary and it seems her parents back this up.

Nope the average teacher would not stand a chance against her and her family.

Re: Ungrateful house guests--I had to laugh yesterday when Erika said they diary room told her they thought the HGs had the impression that they were on "The Price is Right"

Re: Alison--she may have intelligence and cunning but to quote Erika--"There is something drastically wrong with that child"
