TV ClubHouse: Archive: I'm Sick Of Looking At Their Faces!!: Archive through September 09, 2003

I've been trying to figure out why I don't like BB 4. I finally came up with a legitimate reason. Their faces make me sick. I can't stand looking at them. Not on promos, live feeds, the T.V. show, internet pics, web sites, reviews or long forgotten photos of the past. Their lack of intelligence makes them even uglier. When I take into account the editing, the weird twists, the profane gestures and the trash-talking put downs of all the contestants, I'm left with very little humor and a body that feels like it is in need of a good scrubbing. I can't even find enjoyment trying to strategize the game. If it weren't for the friendly and personal T.V. Clubhouse messageboard, this show would have no purpose whatsoever. It's a shame that after this game is over, we have to wait an entire year to get back together again. A plethora of intelligence being wasted commenting on a truly embarrassing television show.

WOW Wood, just think Survivor starts next week.

Yeah, Wood, I definitely saw when this website was down that for me most of the fun is reading these boards. I missed Tobor's story telling along with Bonzacat's assistance. :) I love reading the chatter's thread. I noticed I can handle the feeds if I have them on alongside these message boards, but when the boards were down, I didn't turn my feeds on.

Ok then Wood. Sorry you feel that way. I've been enjoying BB4 this year. I went in with no expectations and, as a result, have not been disappointed.

As Csnog said, at least Survivor starts next week. Perhaps you'll enjoy it better.

I have grown to like some of the HGs and dislike others as I always do each year. Even though this year's series has turned out to be more entertaining than I expected, it has seemed more contrived than usual from the start. And I blame that on the whole "X Factor" gimmick that prevented the normal interaction of COMPLETE STRANGERS that is the essence of Big Brother.

I missed this board over the weekend, too. Tough to watch football and concentrate on the LFs at the same time. But if we had to pick two days of the show for the board to be down, I think we got the right two days.

Funny how I feel exactly like Wood one moment and then the next I'm looking forward to see the tv show for more drama or laughs, only to go back and feel exactly like Wood explained above.
It's a vicious circle that will go away only when BB ends... yeah, it's a bit sad when we have to say goodbye and not come back for another year.

I'm with Smokey..would I really be an addict to BB if this board did not exist...without this board over the weekend, I too had my feeds on for maybe a total of 1hr the whole weekend.

I agree that this has been a disappointing year. I loved week 1 as the x-factor seemed like genious...and maybe it was. But the individuals have turned out to be incredibly boring. The most interesting HGs...Dana and Dave have been gone too long for me to care anymore about this. If not for this board, I wouldn't know what's up during the week, cuz it's not worth my time to check my live feeds. I rely on the topics of the BB4 gen. discussion to update me between shows for the last month.

I was so prepared to indulge in this season like last year...and am sorely disappointed. I have gotten a lot more done in my real life though.

BB may have peaked and begun the dive down...

Thank God for Survivor!!!

I don't dig Survivor as much... I stopped watching cold turkey last year before the show even ended... didn't give a darn anymore.
Somehow the show once a week it's not enough for me to keep a discussion on a daily basis like we do for BB.

I'm with you, Wood. These people are like hgs who have overstayed their visit and everything about them is getting on your last nerve.

Time to go home, folks!

Spunky...you do have a point...cuz the last Survivor SUCKED and a totally non-deserving person won, IMO. This year at least has a good twist...and not a BB type twist...a real twist! Okay...that wasn't fair...the bringing Amy back twist last year rocked the boat! :-) Boy do I miss BB3.

Good point, Scorpio. This is like having an all-night party; people are crashed on my couch and floor and it's 6:00 in the morning and I must leave for work. I can't leave them there because I really don't trust them, but I hate to scream and embarrass them. What the heck: "Go Home!!!"

You all have said it well. These HGs are not the interesting people that finalists should be. Their selfish dealings and foul mouthed speech has soured most of us '1 thru to 4 season' BB fans. These people are not likeable....any of them. Even Erika, who seemed to me in the beginning legitimate, has come onto the show THRU HER agent and is not a 'real person'. NONE of these final four are like anyone I know. Dave seemed real to me, Dana (neurotic as she was) seemed like a "real" person.

Enough of my ramblings......thank goodness for this site or I'd have gone nuts by now ha ha.

Hey, Wood - let's talk about *Paradise Hotel*! Now, that should be good for another month or so of very intelligent conversing (complaining). I honestly think that show even beats BB4 for horrible characters ...

Yep, whenever I start to feel like BB4 is an awful show, I just turn Paradise and realize just how GOOD BB4 really is.

Wood, I agree absolutely. This years BB doesn't really hold my interest. In fact, I have missed some shows and other times I'm watching something else and just tune in off and on. These boards are the real interest for me. The live feeds sum up the whole kit and kaboodle and the message board brings all the great postings. Previous years, I really enjoyed BB, and posted avidly. This time around.....yawn...

I've watched Paradise Hotel. A number of times. I'm embarrassed. If anyone found out, I'm sure I'd lose my home, people would pelt me with produce and hardware, women would scorn me, and my family would take out an ad denying I existed. Yes, BB 4 is better than Paradise Hotel. BB 4 doesn't have "Dave" or "Toni".

Wood, PLEASE don't say the "t-word" too loudly, let's not give Arnold any ideas. If Toni ends up on any more reality shows I swear THEN I'm gonna call it quits on the whole genre!

I have watched my live feeds less this year than any year and I have had them every season. But so many of the HGs annoyed me that I didn't want to hear them. I think the ex idea was a bust. As Jun stated herself. The ex idea meant less hooking up. They acted different because they had an ex in the house. They should have all been strangers.

"The ex idea meant less hooking up.

Amanda and Dave, Justin and Dana, Ali and every Y chromosome.

Doesn't seem like less hooking up to me.

This has been the worst set of HGS since BB.. They are boring... Can anyone say SLEEP CITY. I havre not turned on my Realplayer in days.... Sheesh...I cannot remember ever me doing that with any other of the BB'S... :(

BB4, IMO, is a more saavy edition of BB. This year there is much less personal drama, much more plotting and planning.

These HGs are here for one purpose only, to win the big bucks.

Each of them had a strategy, right or wrong... compared to past seasons where the voting was much more emotionally based.

This group of HGs seems more capable of understanding it is a game. I don't get the feeling of true dislike among the HGs... they may talk dislike, even hatred, but it is all in relation to the game, not the person.

Perhaps the missing factor this year is... no real anger, no real hurt feelings.. everyone playing knows it's just a game. Boring for us the viewers.
Hey, I want someone to beat the heck out of someone....hehe.. just kidding... but it would liven things up a bit.

i have to admit wood, i agree totally. i taped fridays show and didnt get around to turning the tape on until sunday evening. but, it was on a total of one minute and i turned it off and went to do something else. i still have not watched it and i did not set my recorder for tonight. i could turn it on here at work at 7pm, but i wont.
i watched the reality of reality on bravo last night and i got more excited in the few minutes they showed nicole and the others from previous bbs than i do when i watch this years show. i have been in denial this year, i think. i have said i didnt like when they showed hgs from previous years. i think i was just trying really really hard to like these people. the hgs are not suppose to have outside contact. in the previous years, it didnt bother me because i liked several of the hgs and i really wanted to see them excited about getting something. i think when jun got the mtv thing it did me in this year. even the shopping was 10x more exciting with marcellus. i tried to stay positive but cant do it any longer. i will still check in here to gab. It isnt because of bb it is because of all of you.

On Friday while watching the show, I flipped to another channel during a commercial and forgot to flip it back. I didn't even realize it until the show was over.

I have to agree on Paradise Hotel. Those are the most hateful people I have ever seen on any show, especially Zack and Toni. That show makes all the BB HGs of any year look like saints. Do I watch PH? Of course!
