I never get too up or down on BB in the first 2-3 weeks because it takes that long for the lines to be drawn and become entertaining to watch. Plus, this show is a 12-13 week marathon, and it's just the first week.

Here's an interesting clip from the live feeds. Nice that they need coached on exactly what to say in the diary room:

I have added BB After Dark to my bedroom Tivo. It will be a great thing to help my insomnia at night. :)

It really does help explain how bored these people get. No wonder they usually meltdown at some point in the house. I have never been a live feed watcher before and it really does give a sense of the monotony these people have to live under.

It was nice to see how crazy Jen really is, getting pissed at Nick over flirting with Girls in the House. I wish Danielle would have used the power of veto to take amber down and put up Jen instead, but we know she will be around for a while to keep the T&A in the house. I think I am going to start rooting for Evil Dick now.

Jen :drool:

PacMan2006 07-11-07 01:17 AM

Why is he called "Evil" Dick? Just the tats?

Patman 07-11-07 01:21 AM

Is it just me, or does Amber look like Sherry Stringfield playing a Klingon?

Also, how do the producers find people who not only want to both be on the show, but also have a past/history together? It just seems like way too much of a coincidence. And I can't imagine if someone like Joe auditioned for BB and said he had a negative history with Dustin, that BB would contact Dustin and he'd be extremely interested in being on a reality show.

I don't get how that works.

the live feeds will for sure help you get to sleep.

I have wondered that also. I can see them in pre-interviews asking people about their past relationships, etc. but I'd start to get suspicious if they would ask for their full name. I always wondered how they tracked down the brother & sister didn't know each other.

Am I the only one that wants to start calling Joe "Kandice" due to his relationship with Dustin? :)

She may have a hot body but so what??. Nick was right that girl is f'n clueless and has NO! personality what so ever. Nobody in the house likes her already what does that tell you??. She should be doing porn. The less she speaks the better

Danielle on the other hand I'm starting to warm up to. She looks like shes there to actually play the game and has some personality. I also like her dad tattoed Dick. He seems like a genuinely nice and decent guy who obviously loves his kids very much. Hopefully yhey can mend their relationship after the show :clap:

Where does Jessica hide her helium stash because her voice is way too high and squeaky.

raven56706 07-11-07 06:58 AM

the girls are hot but as we saw them take a shower in their bathing suits its safe to say there will be no nudity... this sucks..

Yet. It's only been a week, remember.

Groucho 07-11-07 08:05 AM

I voted for Amber to be voted off. Carol is hotter, and doesn't bore me with God talk.

I don't know what is worse. Her voice or Amber's on the opposite spectrum. Anyone get a Maggie vibe from Amber. I am 100% sure I am going to hate her soon. I already don't like her but it seems inevitable that she will be the ring leader of the alliance I despise.

Carol is actually the only normal girl in the house. It probably would be best that she goes so these idiots don't ruin her.

Patman 07-11-07 08:08 AM

It's weird how much younger Kail looks without make-up on.

For some reason, Dustin gives off a Bradley Cooper vibe to me (just not as intense).

Deadpool 07-11-07 12:40 PM

Ok, I thought this was a once a week show...on CBS. What days is this on CBS? I thought it was just Thursday :confused:

Patman 07-11-07 12:47 PM

It's on 3 nights: Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 8 p.m. (I think).

Deadpool 07-11-07 01:07 PM

Thanks Patman. Wife & I caught this last Thursday. We've never watched it before but thought it was OK. I'll have to set up the DVR. Being the offseason, Thursdays are wide open for me and figured I would catch it live. Now with these other times arrrrrrgggggg...DVR time.

MrE 07-11-07 01:13 PM

My assessment to date is that this season won't do much to allay the stereotypes about jocks and blondes.

aJOHNymous 07-11-07 01:17 PM

i hope danielle trips and falls on a sandwich.

she's frighteningly skinny. and those sunken in cheeks.... ugh.

jen is trash. i read on another board that on the live feeds yesterday she admitted that she gets her parents to buy her $250 skin moisturizer. what a vapid loser. and lose those f'ing shirts already....

i'm rooting for eric or dick. eric's a "regular" guy so he's got my vote due to that and i can relate to dick simply due to his appearance. it really is that simple for me.

i swore after last season i would never get sucked into this show again. how does this keep happening to me? i hate it, but i can't turn it off!

don't forget the stereotypes of gay men.

Well only one of the gay guys is completely flaming. I'd have a hard time telling Dustin was gay by just listening to him talk.


I was watching the feeds or maybe it was the after dark show and Jen was talking about her hardtop convertible Mercedes SLK and you could just tell that she's completely full of it.


I'm torn between Amber and Carol. Amber appears to be a Jesus freak and she won't shut up about her kids and family but she tells some funny stories. Carol is really cute but is a complete bore. She hates Dick and I just can't get behind a person that would hate somebody like Dick.
