Yucktothehgs | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:21 pm     Huh????? Is this a serious question. LOL Of course I won't boycott. Why would I or anyone else that has watched it this far? |
Lurknomore | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:30 pm     I will be completely nauseated and revolted that one of them will win (same for any of final 3), but like all of BB I will watch because it's BB. Also we can but hope the questions will be amusing and challenging. My biggest dilemma is coordination. It resembles one of these stupid riddles in the house. I have 2 VCRS and 2 TV's. I want to see BB, West Wing (with Prez kidnapped daughter and no Aaron Sorkin writing), and the premiere of Bob the Bachelor. Ok clearly I can tape 2 (inferior quality as I can only tape off my cable) and watch one good one on my dish. Now...what to watch? What to tape? Given the folks I should just tape BB but am I strong enough to do that? And there is an off change I might want this on tape, especially if the jury lets it rip. I would like to end with a heartfelt thanks for to the TV programmers that did this. Most nights watching my screensaver has been more pleasant than TV-- now this. GRRRRRRRRRRRR |
Ric_Munoz | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:45 pm     Boycott Ali vs. Jun? No. Boycott Robert vs. anyone else? Definitely. This has been, by far, the worst of the four BB seasons. If they bring back that ridiculous X-factor next year, Arnie & CBS will lose my support--and probably that of quite a few (million?) others. |
Csnog | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:49 pm     Good heavens NO! I save my boycotts for something important. |
Ezgoing | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:06 pm     I am a TVCH/BB fan so I will watch. This has been a disappointing season comparatively. What I remain interested in is the jurors and how they will question and vote. Oh yeah...and saying good riddance to the whole Ex Factor fiasco. Let's hope BB5 will offer some worthwhile twists or that we can return to a more original version of BB, with true isolation and less questionable manipulations. Ever the optimist, huh?! |
Beruthiel | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:10 pm     I declare that the consensus of votes is: H*ll NO! We won't go!  |
Bastable | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:11 pm     But after the final show, we just MAY GO knock on Arnie's door and tell him to stop messing with our show! |
Bluejaxrock | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:11 pm     Woodpecker, my thoughts exactly... "If it weren't for this board, I would have stopped watching BB 4 long ago. I still feel dirty discussing it." I lost interest in this show a couple of weeks ago, and realized it when I was grocery shopping last Wednesday and it was 8:45 pm, est, and I wasn't freaked out about missing the show. When I got home and saw that I actually made it in time for the episode, I was bummed out! Not only did I think the show was on @ 8:00 that night, but I was ticked that I would be sucked into watching it! Don't know if you'd call it a boycott, but I don't care if I miss the final or not...I can always get the scoop here. None of the remaining three has any redeeming qualities, and if I were a jury member, I'd have to abstain...no matter what the cost. |
Happycamper | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:12 pm     Will I boycott, because Rob is leaving?? Heck NO!!! This is probably one of the best BB game finale's ever. |
Jimmer | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:42 pm     No boycott for us - we'll be watching. We're not as interested in this show as in previous years but it's still better than most of the junk on TV. |
Wendo | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:57 pm     Jimmer, exactly. The summer is filled with reruns and crap tv. At least we have BB; it's better than 'nuthin' I say. LOL! |
Catfat | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 09:56 pm     Boycott? That would indicate that I care passionately one way or another about thes people. Frankly, My Dears, I just don't give a damn. I have totally lost interest. |
Juiceman | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:01 pm     Im not encouraging or saying anyone should boycott anything but to clear up something said earlier about it 'not working anyway' If millions did turn off BB for a night it absolutely would influence and affect the show and its producers. That they signed for three more season would not change that fact in any way. Im not suggesting its likely to happen. Just saying if it did - it would be extremely effective in changing the way Shapiro and friends do things. by the way - signing for three more shows basically only means 'three more will be made IF.. and Unless...' Dont kid yourselves that contract means it gets made and aired no matter what. |
Prism72 | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:04 pm     Nope, I'll be watching ... but I gotta say, this is the first time I actually WANT BB to be over. Last year, I really enjoyed it and had fun watching the LF's. There's just no one left to root for. I've watched it this far, though, so I have to see who wins. And Survivor starts soon.... yay!! |
Bondmaiden | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:13 pm     I for one am morally offended and highly outraged by the behavior of everyone on this show! (just kidding) I ain't that great myself DUDES! |
Bondmaiden | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:17 pm     Correction- highy offended and morally outraged-er- at any rate- I'm pissed. |
Caycaye | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:34 pm     Hey PRISM 72!! Well said!!!! I totally agree with you....For the first time, I can't wait for it to be over. One interesting thing is the discussion thread on BB5 ideas. There are some really GOOD ideas for changes for next year. It makes me look forward to something!! |
Carrie92 | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 12:18 am     I will be watching purely to see the unanimous vote AGAINST Ali (crossing fingers!), AND the look on her face when it happens. |
Smowen99 | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 03:11 am     I have watched every single episode of BB4, and I have been keeping up with what is going on on a daily basis by reading the threads. However......If there is an Ali and Jun final I WILL NOT watch the final episode. Frankly......I really don't care who wins out of the two of them. If those 2 are in the finals, then this season was a total waste as far as I am concened. |
Justalittlebean | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 04:42 am     I agree Swmowen if there is a Ali and Jun final I WILL NOT watch the final episode either. After reading the live feeds from last night I'm not even sure I'll watch it anymore this season. Really a letdown whats been going on in the house. |
Mack | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 05:17 am     The very fact that the basic question of boycotting or not was asked is an indication in itself. With maybe the exception for the new or most diehard fan BB4 it would appear this year's version has not lived up to previous BB's. There a probably a number of reasons like over saturation of "reality" shows, this year's "twists", the overall quality (or lack of) of this year's particular houseguests, and so on. Admittedly these are my reasons for never quite getting fully involved. What I do know for sure is that I've not signed up for the live feeds (first time that's happened) and I've missed a number of the TV shows (also a first). Will I "boycott" the final? Yes and no....depends on what I'm doing that evening and if I have anything better to do. |
Atjoybell | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 05:24 am     I'm with Bluejaxrock. Last week part of me wanted to get home to watch and the other part questioned "why". When I thought I missed the show, I knew I could come here to be updated. Boy did I feel stupid when I got home ten minutes before the show even started! I thought it started at 8 instead of 9. Then I was really mad. This has been a very disappointing season ob BB but will I watch the final episode? Might as well, I've come too far to turn back. Will I be here the day after - you betcha! Love the discussion. |
Earthmother | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 07:23 am     We always take our vacation in late August and I always prepare our agenda around BB. My family always checks the tv schedule where we are going and know that they have to plan things to do that will not include me because I will be in the hotel room watching the show. This year they were amazed that I missed 3 shows while we were gone and didn't really care. |
Rhett | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 11:26 am     I won't boycott it but I won't stay home to watch it if something fun comes up. |
Frodolives | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 12:27 pm     I'm curious to see who wins, but I won't plan my tv viewing around it (like I did earlier in the summer). The plain truth is that these people were all 2 dimensional and uninteresting. Those that stood out only did so because of the unbelievable things they think of themselves. Last year I was truly saddened when BB3 went off the air. I left the FOTH on my live feeds until it went off. This year, I stopped viewing the live feeds about 3 weeks ago and I couldn't care less about this finale. The sooner we get to BB5 and leave this one behind, the better. |
