there aren't any likeable characters this season. I've gotten bored with this season already.

2/22/2008 11:34:34 AM

my problem with them is that they don't seem to understand Big Brother

they aren't strategic at all

it's just a bunch of young people who want to be on tv.
they just yell at each other over someone talking about them behind their back

I watch the live feeds, and I agree. I don't like any of these houseguests. I have no idea what the ratings are for this season, but I think the matchups are not making the show more enjoyable to view.

2/23/2008 7:31:36 AM

Heard on the radio that there was some big fight in the house & people had to go to the hospital...anyone with a feed know whats up?

2/23/2008 1:50:23 PM

the big fight was shown on wednesday

the 2 hospital visits were for something else...

Maybe my favorite reality TV moment ever happened on Wednesday night when the contestants were going to get Amanda some water after fainting and Adam responds with "we don't have any cups." Too funny.

2/27/2008 6:31:00 PM

Adios Amanda and that annoying voice.

2/27/2008 9:04:04 PM

I'm seriously bummed with this season

2/27/2008 10:01:39 PM

^ I agree. I haven't heard of anyone pleased with this season.

2/27/2008 11:35:52 PM

I'm not digging the couple aspect at all. At least let them vote separately.

Who saw those vids of Natalie telling her "Tucker Max" tampon story or her lactation show.?

2/28/2008 11:44:36 AM

I am guessing, but I have a hunch that this Wednesday will be the end of the couples, or at least the eviction of houseguests as couples, based on Julie Chen's comment at the end of last Wednesday show.

2/29/2008 8:18:53 AM

^yeah, i was thinking that...or that the evicted houseguests may be able to rearrange couples. but more likely what you said because if they keep on with couples, the numbers are dwindling quickly. as it is there are only going to be 2 voters this week. and if the season continues at this pace, it will be over quickly and i thought i heard it was going to be a longer season this year.

The main reason for the couples was so CBS could have Big Brother last as long or as short as they wanted. When BB started we didn't know how long the strike could last, when new episodes of spring shows would start, etc.

2/29/2008 10:27:55 AM

I had a good guess! Would love to see Parker as the one that re-enters the game.

3/5/2008 9:02:19 PM

pretty glad Allison is gone

hopefully Joshuah is next

3/6/2008 7:07:11 PM

i hope sheila is next to go home

3/7/2008 6:33:00 PM

anyone still watching this? i hate most of the people. they don't have any game. ryan is ok, i guess.

3/19/2008 11:26:07 PM

The seasons definitely picked up once they were split up from couples. Can't wait to see what Dick does next week.

3/20/2008 12:01:30 AM

I'm ready for the summer version. Hopefully, they won't pick people just so they can do certain twists. No one this year is the least bit interesting except for Parker but he was gone week 2.

3/20/2008 10:31:29 AM

i ain't going to lie, i have been watching. even though this season sucks in comparison to other seasons, i'm still watching it. my favorite would probably be chelsia, or sharon. least favorite would be natalie, or sheila.

3/20/2008 2:04:08 PM

i'm still watching. just haven't enjoyed it as much as previous seasons. i can't stand chelsia and james… mainly james. he just has an elitist attitude that i don't like and i think he's full of shit. i know a lot of people on the show are full of shit, but they don't always act so high-and-mighty.

funny that matt went out like a bitch though. really pathetic.

also, i’m not a big fan of bb bringing back evicted house guest, though in the past a lot of the people they brought back i really liked. still, it sucks that some people played a game that got them far, then some asshole that was already evicted gets to come back for a second chance. why should one person have more chances than everyone else? i'd rather the twist just be double-evictions, no consultation evictions, and shit like that.

3/20/2008 2:19:52 PM

I just can't stand James. he acts so high and mighty all the time.

I like how he had the balls to actually say that him getting kicked out was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to him.

Wait until he gets out and finds out that everyone knows about his stint as a gay porn star.

Yeah, getting kicked off some tv show, or having pictures of you taking a shot of man juice to the face. I know which one I think is more embarrassing.

3/20/2008 3:00:34 PM

i may be in a minority, but i kinda like the way james is playing. at no point did he hide the fact that he was back dooring matt. he pretty much told the entire group that he was going to do it. he isn't playing much different than how ED played last year, and EVERYONE loved him.

and yea, matt did go out like a little bitch.

3/20/2008 3:18:13 PM

See, I don't really have a problem with the way james is playing per se. It's just his attitude against everyone else for doing similar things.

It's like he has the attitude that he's the only one that's allowed to play the game.

3/20/2008 3:25:22 PM

i've been watching as well. i don't like james. i like chelsia...but the fact with she is with james lessens that so my favorite has been ryan.

i do like that james seems to be playing the game, but it is unfair that ryan successfully backdoored james...yet james is still in the game. i wonder if he suspected that the gay porn thing was gonna leak out when he found out he was going to be on big brother. you have to know that things about your past come out when you get quasi-famous.

3/21/2008 8:04:14 AM

Chelsia is going to vomit when she gets out of the house & sees that James took a load to the face & she was kissing him.

Shes hot, even with that damn tatoo i hate.

3/21/2008 11:30:20 AM

shit - is anyone still watching this beside me? I think James is gone this week

4/9/2008 12:29:50 PM

yea im watching

James is certainly gone, he survived the past 3 weeks just because he won the veto comp

unless something realllllllllllllly freaky and crazy happens he is gone

looking to be a shelia adam final

"looking to be a shelia adam final"

Why would you say that? If anything I think those two would be the obvious choice as the next two to go.

Adam can't win HOH tonight, and since he's pissed off everyone else in the house this week, I'd imagine they will use that to nominate him.

Shelia has made no true alliances in the house either. She's clearly the person that you have in your alliance until you get down to the final 4-5 and then dump. I expect her to be the secondary target of pretty much so everyone else from here on out.

Ryan is pretty solidly in the driver's seat at this point. He's got good solid alliances with pretty much so everyone in the house and he appears to be smart enough to know which way the tides are turning. I'd say he makes it to the final 3 with Natalie and Sharon and they whichever one of them wins the final comp takes him to the final 2 with them where he wins the vote 5-2.

4/9/2008 3:15:26 PM

they pretty much made that HOH competition for Natalie to win. I will be extremely shocked if someone other than her wins.

4/9/2008 9:37:23 PM

I HATE Ryan and Natalie.

4/9/2008 10:51:08 PM

I am not a fan of any of the houseguests of BB9. Maybe it's because BB8 had a lot of great sub-plots: America's Player wins the heart of the sweet girl from Mid America, and the Bad Dad and his daughter reunite.

Having said that, I agree that Sharon, Natalie, and Ryan seem the most likely final three.

4/9/2008 11:05:47 PM

someone must have won by now - who was it?

4/9/2008 11:06:56 PM

i dunno

hello spoilers.

4/10/2008 10:50:24 AM

My bad. Tried to edit but it was too late.

4/10/2008 11:16:16 AM

So, I rarely, if ever put much stock into all those conspiracy theory, OMG the producers tell the houseguests what to do, BS ramblings, but this is pretty conclusive, IMO. Lots of youtube clips of the live feeds that have the houseguests talking about how their choices have been directly influenced by conversations they've had in the diary room. Most interesting is a conversation between Adam and Ryan where Adam says they kept him locked in the DR for hours before the nomination meeting so that his alliance members couldn't convince him to nominate James.

This video pretty much so speaks for itself. The interesting parts:

Quote :

""I fucked up big time, I fucked up, sorry, they (DR) fucking conned me dude and they were in there the whole time, the 3 woman its the best thing to do, they were drilling me dude, you know what I am saying?, it's best for you, it's best for you, fucking ass holes, I fell for it dude" Ryan: "They said it was best for you? of course they.. "

4/10/2008 5:59:55 PM

well, that sucks... especially for those of us who enjoy this show.

but few people actually believe "reality" tv is, indeed, REAL.


it's entertaining. probably would be less so if it weren't manipulated a little behind the scenes.



(for the record-- earlier in this thread, I called it that Adam wouldn't put James on the block because his heart is too big. damn server failure erased my post. )

4/10/2008 10:09:33 PM

this season has been soooo uneventful and predictable....

and the one case where i thought the house would do something a little different (Adam not nominating James), it fell through

so dissapointed.

Man - I have to admit..I was somewhat enjoying Natalie & her boobs for a littel while, but lately she ust annoys the piss out of me. If they don't get rid of her next, they are stupid as fuck.

4/16/2008 12:28:28 PM

natalie is annoying as fuck, which is why any smart person would keep her in the house. if you have her standing beside you in the end, you win. if sharon is standing beside you, you likely lose... adam being the only person that can beat sharon in the end... maybe ryan, but even that is doubtful. the only problem with keeping natalie is she is good at the endurance challenges.

4/16/2008 12:58:10 PM

sharon just got hosed by that hoh question. she should have won

[Edited on April 16, 2008 at 9:53 PM. Reason : they should redo the comp like they did a couple years ago]

4/16/2008 9:53:22 PM

why? They clearly said the total time all four were up there.

4/16/2008 10:04:32 PM

^^
The gerbil question was bullshit. She should have won.

4/16/2008 10:59:03 PM

omg, sharon DID get hosed. my gf and I couldn't believe they counted the gerbils as the other couple.

4/17/2008 12:23:20 AM

^agreed. i can't believe that gerbil question. that is the dumbest competition i have ever seen.

i don't believe big brother was expecting anyone to say fact, but ryan had nothing to lose since the answer was so obvious. as a matter of fact, when he stepped on fact, julie chen stuttered a little, like she was trying to get direction from someone on how she should respond. i am usually not on the conspiracy wagon, but once sharon got ahead in the competition, big brother started asking easy questions. i think they wanted her to win that one to break up adam/ryan. what a crock of shit. that question was just asked to bring up some conversation, not to give ryan a shot a winning...imho

4/17/2008 3:47:24 PM

A friend of mine brought up the teacup question from last season as another example. Everyone guessed that the teacup could only hold a few gallons because their was a huge hole in it except for Jen (i think) who just wasn't thinking and said something like 200 gallons and she ended up winning.

4/17/2008 6:33:37 PM

Might want to view the Sunday show - the fan sites are hinting tonight might be live

4/20/2008 7:36:19 PM

the gerbil question was bs. i think big brother chose the HoH with that question... telling julie to go with whatever ryan answered with. though it is really shitty how it happened imo, i'm glad sharon lost. she hasn't done anything in the house. she's a floater. i'm pulling for baller, but i think his days are numbered. it's all about veto this week.
