Juiceman | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 12:39 pm     Should Robert leave and Jun and Alison remain will anyone still watch the remaining episodes of BB? Will anyone participate in the latest call for a boycott of the final episodes? Does anyone really care which of these two women win BB4? Personally - Im going to watch the final episode but none of the shows in between wednesday and then. (even if its just one episode) I realise its supposed to be 'controversial' but I never expected BB4 to turn into a painful and seemingly cruel joke on me the viewer. Anyone else planning to boycott any episodes? |
Maris | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 12:42 pm     I wont boycott but I cant promise I wont fall asleep as I have during the last show. This has been a big yawn for me. |
Bb4ever | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 12:54 pm     I see no reason to continue watching the show... I really expected BB to do something to spice it up. Jun will probably throw the last comp. I would guess even the jury will find the selection to be tedious! The show with Jun and Ali will be boring, boring and boring. Ali just wants to hate, and June just wants to eat! Neither are worthy of much, and hopefully will disappear back into the quilt of American life once 9/24 passes. But I will return for BB5, with high hopes of a fun year. If the contestants are good, then the show should hold the interests of the view audience! |
Crazydog | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 12:56 pm     I would have tuned out a Robert/Alison final, but I am looking forward to Jun/Alison. I would love for the camera to capture Alison the moment she realizes that there is absolutely no chance she can win. No doubt she is going to have her "who farted" expression on when it happens. Jun is very perceptive, and if she wants to win HoH (as I think she should), I think she will kick Alison's butt in the part 3 HoH competition. I also think Jun is very poised and articulate and will be able to answer the questions of the evicted houseguests better. Although Alison has beauty pageant experience, I think she is only prepared for the fluffy "you're such an awesome inspiration" type questions and she will be completely ill-prepared for venom. |
Kaili | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:01 pm     The only reason I'm still watching at this point is that I have a show summary to do for tomorrow's show. Do I really care who wins? Not at this point, no. But I'm obligated to do the summary and I'll do it. Thankfully it's the last one. Yeah, I'll watch until the end, but my heart won't be in it. It's a dedication thing- I've watched this long, invested this much time and energy in the show. I'm going to see it to the end. Besides- what will a boycott do anyway? The show is renewed and why punish CBS for who's in the final two? It's the houseguests' votes that have brought us to where we are, with this final group of people. |
Nmbeach | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:02 pm     There have been some good ups & downs this year, but I never found a houseguest that I was willing to support. I liked Erika, but I really didn't think she did anything to make her worthy of the $500,000. Ali has probably played the best game, but she has the worst attitude of any player that has ever been on BB. I hope when she watches the tapes of herself, she will see what an ugly disposition she has. Jun, like Lisa last year, has stayed under the radar, and will probably win, even though she hasn't done anything to deserve the money either. I will probably watch the final episode, in hopes that some of the jury members will have the guts to tell Ali what they really think of her. |
Lakegal | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:02 pm     I am looking forward to this final. I really don't know who will win between Jun & Ali. I think it will be interesting. I would have been more upset to see a Robert vs Erika final. |
Denecee | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:03 pm     Heck yeah, I'm going to watch. What the hay? I've invested three months into this show. I've never taken anything any of the hg have said personal. I hope Jun wins but only because I think Ali is a spoiled little brat but that's JMO. |
Lori | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:06 pm     I too have watched from the beginning and will watch the final...who knows it might actually be entertaining! |
Hotrocks | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:24 pm     Yes I will be watching with a sad heart, I would like to see Jun win and would love to see all the others go off on Ali if they let this happen, but I am sure it willn't brother her, she thinks to much of herself to let other comments brother her .... but you Never Know and that is why I will be there watching and waiting I will be back next yr BB5 has to be better... lol |
Kaili | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:25 pm     I agree- if it's gotta be Jun and Ali, I hope Jun wins. I don't love her, but I don't mind her. I definitly prefer her. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:26 pm     If it weren't for this board, I would have stopped watching BB 4 long ago. I still feel dirty discussing it. |
Monalisahi | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:27 pm     I'm going to watch. Not that it much matters which one wins. I'm hoping for some spice from the jury. I don't know why I keep setting myself up for disappointment though. |
Sunshyne4u | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Ali was brought in as an original "ex" before the guy backed out of the show......Rob was an "ex" also. JUN APPLIED FOR THE SHOW>>>>>>>to me that makes her the favourite to win. I may NOT watch the final if ROB makes it to final two. He seems like the most unpleasant person to be around. I swear, it would drive me nuts to have someone so jumpy and picky/scratchy around. |
Bastable | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:48 pm     No! I won't boycott! I care about this show and I accept that it takes all kinds of players to make it as good as it is. I would hate a Big Brother full of touchy-feely people who never lie and play like Mr. Rogers. This is a game, not real life. That's why I like it. Of course I'm not going to "boycott!" The very idea makes me want to laugh because it smacks a bit of being judgmental of these two girls, IMHO. I'm a true fan of this show, thick or thin, no matter who happens to rise to the top of the game. Part of loving this show is loving the twists and turns. Ali and Jun in the finals is a dream match-up between two floaters who shouldn't have made it this far. It's excellent!  |
Spunky | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 02:10 pm     No use boycotting at this point in the game. Maybe if we all did it when the Exes were brought it may have worked. (The idea is for BB not to play God and play with people's personal lives). The deed is done.. .no use crying now. |
Crossfire | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 02:30 pm     I will be watching enthusiastically, maybe not quite as much as Bastable, but close. I also agree with him that the floaters should not have made it this far. I bet no one gets away with that trick next year. Which will spawn an entirely new situation to follow. I don't imagine I'll be breaking free as long as they keep the game on air. |
Maris | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 02:34 pm     It used to be in the old BB days that a HG would never admit to throwing a competition. Now BB asks in the diary rooms if they threw competitions, Julie asks it of the evicted houseguests as though this is an acceptable way to play the game. BB encouraged this floating idea and the throwing of competitions. Next year they will be looking to have competitions that are by pure chance, no way to throw them. They need to change the HOH competition to drawing straws. The short straw gets HOH, no way to predict who gets it and no way to throw it. Another idea is the HOH winner gets to either accept the HOH designation or select someone else as HOH. |
Bondmaiden | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 02:40 pm     Will I boycott the show? Oh yeah, I spent all summer watching just so I could boycott. Not |
Beruthiel | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 02:40 pm     I won't boycott because that would take more investment in the endgame than I'm willing to give. I don't care much who wins, but I'll still watch the end, since I've put in enough energy and time up to now to ensure that I don't want to admit to having wasted my summer by missing the finale. |
Mkcantjump | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 03:18 pm     Lets all boycott, that makes sense. Duh. |
Wendo | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 03:35 pm     "Will you boycott the Jun vs Alison final?" No. On another note, in the current issue of Entertainment Weekly, they judged BB4 to be a "winner" reality series. And, as we all know, it's been renewed. The series has been a success, even though there are some who watch via the internet don't share this view. While I appreciate that Arnie and his staff tried to do something new and different with the whole X-Factor premise, I don't think it turned out to be as interesting as the original concept probably sounded. I hope they don't continue it next year. Time for something new...again! |
Seamonkey | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 03:37 pm     NO. Especially considering I've been a Jun fan since day one, I wouldn't miss it. Robert and Ali.. might be more tempted but after a whole season, I'm unlikely to not see it through to the end. |
Onlyhuman | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 03:42 pm     I boycott almost all of the TV shows, simply because they haven't offered me very much in the way of interesting or compelling stories. Usually I read the spoilers for the shows, then decide if there are any parts I want to see for myself. For the past couple of weeks I've taped the live shows so I could see the updates on the jury house and so I could see Dave, Amanda & Michelle last week. I don't bother to watch any speeches. For the finale, I'll watch the parts that don't have Jun or Ali featured on the screen unless there is some indication that there are fireworks worth seeing. But if everyone just pretty much goes the safe route (and they usually do!) then I figure it will be much ado about nothing. |
Realityshowfan | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 03:44 pm     Nmbeach, I feel pretty much like you do....but I will still watch because I too am a "BB" fan through thick and thin. |
