Mine, too!!! I can't wait until next Thursday. I wish the show could be on all year!!! I don't think I'd ever get tired of it.

Usually that CBS site will show the pictures and biography of the housemates before the show starts. I hope they will be showing us soon! The only thing I don't like about the show is that the first several episodes, I'm all confused about who's who (same on Survivor!). It helps keep it straight if we get to see them and read a little about them before it starts.

That is one of my guilty, filthy pleasures...

I used to get a kick out of Big Brother - all the drama that ensued when they were not having to find food, boil water etc. the way they do on Survivor. Sitting around n a hot tub complaining about the hardships they were under cracked me up! I do not follow it as much anymore, but will be checking in from time to time. Maybe there will be a decent "villain" like DIck. Or someone as fun/calculating as Mike Boogie & Dr. Will/Chilltown.

They have started showing the houseguests on the commercials around here. Looks like all new people so far, thank goodness, but I can't wait either. I am thinking about getting the live feeds again too, yes my worst guilty pleasure. But watching the house is fun, they don't censor anything on live feeds. Can't wait.

http://www.buddytv.c...ig-brother.aspx new cast is on here yes one is a Survivor connection.

I did think 12 sounded like enough people for the summer, so I looked around and found that there will be four former players there as mentors.

Just ONE more week

Russell Hantz's brother? That will be ... odd.

I might have to check this one out a few times.

 

[Jill]

Looks like an interesting set of people but the girls outnumber the guys like 2 to 1? Maybe that's good "directing" because the times when it's boiled down to only guys at the end -- it has become much less interesting. The girls bring the ever so watchable cattiness and drama

I just hope we can watch it! It seems that DISH network and our Local Station that carries CBS are in a spitting match. We haven't had CBS for a while now.... Darn greedy local stations..I hate only being able to get local network feeds. I'd like to kick the persons butt that made up the stupid law that limited our satalite feeds to only local ones.

 

[Jill]

Urgh! I hope they sort it out!!!

CBS and "Roku" also don't seem to get along. We can get every other network's programing on it but not CBS. If we could get that, and if they ran FOX 24 hours instead of just 9am-3pm, I seriously think I'd cancel Directv and just use the Roku!!!

Tomorrow

So, whatdidcha think?

H and I really liked it! I think this is actually the first time we were totally into the first episode of the season. It usually takes me a couple episodes to be "fascinated" by any of the guests but, man, this season, it seems like EVERYONE is someone I want to see more of -- ones I think I'll like, and ones I don't think I'll like -- but all of them are ones I think will be FUN to watch play the game

Ok, one week into this, I have the live feeds (my guilty pleasure) and I like all of the new players so far. Why you ask? Because they aren't playing much of a game to dislike anyone. The only ones playing are the coaches. I hate the coaches on there, its boring. They all need to go (Dan is my favorite though). Let these people who came to play a game, play. Coaches telling who to nominate, if you can or can't use the veto, who to vote out, just not fun playing. So am I the only one that sees this, even on the show last night it was plain that Brit and Janelle are only out to get Boogie, doesn't matter who is on his team, he has to go. Ok, done hopefully it will change soon and the real players will get to play their own game.

 

[jacks'thunder]

MinimomNC I could not agree with you more!

Truthfully if they really wanted Boogie out they should have taken Dans girl off the block and put Boogies other player on!! That would have been a "Boogie" thing to do!! LOL! Still love the show but I hope they pull the coaches out in a few!

ETA: Whooo I think Willie is in trouble!!!!

I subscribed to the live feeds one year, but rarely had the time to watch it. When I did watch it, I really found I like the edited version of the show MUCH better. I'm not watching Big Brother for anything other than entertainment and I found the live feeds to be pretty boring.

That said, I am LOVING this season! I haven't watched last night's yet because H had to get up early for work today... but we'll watch it this evening

We really like it this year!!!

 

[Jill]

ML, I love watching the "bad" guys, too! Right now, my "favorite" is Mike Boogie (sp?). Gosh, so arrogant, seems really unlikeable with the way he is on camera, but OMG, so much fun to watch!!! If they had a house full of nice, polite, wouldn't have a cross word for anyone people -- it would not be fun to watch!

 

[Jill]

Well, tonight's episode was interesting!

.....

Does anyone know what the red t shirt Dan is always wearing says or means? I can't figure it out.

 

[tagalong]

Wait a minute - Mike BOOGIE is back??!!!! I have not watched it this season but I am going to have to catch up now!! He is half of my favourite villain team - Chilltown! Boogie & Dr. Will!!

I prefer shows like The Amazing Race and Survivor to BB where people do more than sit around a house & plot - but if my Boogie is there - I'm in!

 

[jacks'thunder]

Willy blew a gasket and got kicked off the show.. Too bad he could not of controled himself.. He would of been a good one to watch.

Mary Lou

I wish he could have held his temper too! I was interested to see how far he would get! I'm not sure who I like now.....Love the ones who mix it up alittle!!! LOL! I'm a "bad guy" fan!! Evil Dick was my all time favorite!!
