Go to your computer's internal search engine, type in SoBig, delete the files it attached.

My pedantic complaint now -- about half the posters type the Korean female HG's name as Jun, the other half June. Each thinks the other group is wrong.

Her name is JUN. It is Korean. It has nothing to do with the month of June, and is not a variation of it. It is one of the most common Korean names for women.

(I have a difficult to spell last name, and at one point in my life just decided, people should make the effort to get it right, so I always try to extend the same respect to others. Sorry for the rant).

I am complaining about the FOTH (so what's new?)

We are seeing a lot of very long FOTHs this year. As best as my senile brain can recall, they let us see most food and luxury contests in the past years.

I suspect the reason is for the number and length of FOTHs this year is excessive number of re-takes the producers seem to think is required to turn these amateurs into professionals. When the showed Erika leading a food competitions they did seven (7) retakes on the "... from Hell" speech.

There is something oxymoronish about trying to get real people to act like TV professional actors.

I need to complain that I've just spent 3 hours on this website hitting REFRESH so I can read another comment. Is this all the life I have? Evidently! Thanks guys for making it fun!

I am with you Bearware- but I am getting better. I leave for an hour soemtimes- and come back and do the same thing for another hour.

Next week though- I have to go to work. I am not sure how I will get through the day. Then I know my evenings will be spent catching up. Is it October yet???

Texas- not a problem with the site- a problem with LEAVING the site. It would be better for me if the site were not working- like last night.

hey!I miss the first 3 shows, I used to be able to check the threads to be able to quickly pick out interesting things happening which I would like to read about. This year is so different! The thread titles are not discriptive, Nothing is catching my interest. What happened to the angels tossing things over the wall and dodging security? where is megaphone lady? and the planes? and crazy drunk HG antics???? this is so different this year!!!

Debi, it has been 3 years since Megaphone Lady has been around, Arnold imposed a penalty nomination last year if the hgs looked at the banner planes, and the CBS lot is now constructed so that it is completely inaccessible to the Angels. :) Other than that...welcome back?

Well, I was all ready to come in and complain this morning that they didn't archive the late night feeds far enough back and I missed Xarph's funny, when I realized I was on 8/22 AM, not 8/23 AM. ROFL!

So...Nevermind. :)

I need to complain that Allie's microphone is always turned up really high and Jun's is bearly on. Whenever these two talk to each other - either I don't hear Jun at all, or Allie's every comment threatens to blow out my eardrums.

I wish CBS would show more of BB than three nights a week.

Gak! Costacat does NOT want to see BB more than the one night a week she actually watches!

Extra bellinis for Costa if there are more BB episodes!! And I too would watch them, even though I have the feeds!

My complaint? With jack headed out, all I can do is root for the remaining HG I dislike the least. And I'm no Biblical scholar, but I’m pretty sure Jun winning BB4 is one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

Whistles (how is that spelled?) are driving me NUTS!! I can't hear anything, so I turn up the volume - and the the whistle blairs on to my speakers.

PLEASE STOP!!! Didn't BB prevent whistling in past years?

I'd like to complain about teaser threads that are created that don't really say what they are about. It forces me to read them. Don't I waste ENOUGH time here?!?! Oh I guess that time wasting would fall into a second complaint. :-S

Another complaint is that some threads (to me at least) don't really seem worthy of their whole own thread. And that threads about specific HG's should go in their personal discussion areas.

Wah wah wah. Rant over. Even though these are complaints, I realize my life could be worse. So these are complaints in context only.

I want to complain that I don't understand why certain benign comments are mysteriously missing on the threads sometimes. I can understand getting rid of offensive comments but sometimes the comments are not at all offensive and yet they are gone the next day. Can anyone explain this mystery?

Demsome, if a post b responds to post a, and post a is removed for rule violations, post b is also removed because it wouldn't make any sense to those reading it.

I want to complain that if Allison says "It's so unfair" ONE MORE TIME, that I will have to post another complaint complaining about it all over again.

Cangaroo, if she says it again and you DON'T post another complaint complaining about it, I will file a post to complain that you didn't complain about it! :)

Why the bleep do they keep going to FOTH?????? Ok, I'll give it to them the first time was for the Pet Shop Boys CD that Jun started humming or whatever. Then they came back. 5 seconds later FOTH. Then they came back. 3 seconds later FOTH. They they came back. 5 seconds later FOTH. Now they're back. Hmmmm, how long until FOTH?????

I feel better now. :)

Edited to say they were back for about 20 seconds that time. Now FOTH again!!!!!!!!!

Edited again to say that they're back again.

Welcome back Sis!

I have a rant about a person on the phone today (at pet shop), but no complaints about BB right now.
