I am so excited. Does anyone else watch?

MarshaEIEIO 07-07-2011 11:03 AM

No, heard the name of it tho...what is it about? Might be interesting to tune in if I get time, I am an admitted "TV Nut" when I am home and have time.

DebraK 07-07-2011 11:04 AM

YES! I also got the feeds this year ;-) I've been watching since season one.

craftybear 07-07-2011 11:07 AM

thanks, I like to watch it also, didn't know it started tonight, thanks for letting us know

cminor 07-07-2011 11:07 AM

It is a reality show where people live in a house - have challanges and vote each other out. Very fun!

Boring

bj 07-07-2011 11:19 AM

I watched it the first time (all episodes) last season and I mostly liked it. I watched because Lane, the boy from Texas, went to Texas Tech. I liked the kid that won it. I tried the live feeds on Showtime a couple of times, but the language was pretty off-putting. I wonder if the red head and the whiner guy are still together. I'll tune in tonight to see if the housemates seem interesting, then go from there.

I can understand if it's not your cup of tea, but it is one of the oldest reality shows out there and is on it's 13th season, so I guess enough people don't find it boring or it would have been canceled by now.

kind of like soaps, you either like 'em or you don't ;-)

Now that you say it - I think the first season was even before Survivor started :)

Me me me, love that show!!

AngieS 07-07-2011 11:25 AM

I don't have cable anymore....can I watch any of it afterward on the internet you think? I used to love it!

DebraK 07-07-2011 11:31 AM

The show is on CBS. Do you need cable for that?

If I don't have cable I get nothing but fuzz.

DebraK 07-07-2011 11:45 AM

oh, bummer.

You can catch episodes on youtube after they've aired. I can't remember who used to post them, but he is a big super fan.

DebraK 07-07-2011 11:50 AM

I use this site to watch when it plays east coast time.

Guess I am odd girl out as I do not like or watch reality shows. Never watched soaps either, but then if I watch tv twice a week that is a lot for me. Would rather be sewing.

I'm so excited.. I had to add the App to my Ipod again so that I can get the updates all the time!

MIJul 07-07-2011 12:07 PM

Shows like this are the reason soaps are on the way out. Much cheaper to not have to pay writers and actors, and "reality" comes out more outrageous.

PamB8s 07-07-2011 12:10 PM

I really do like "Big Brother" along with a lot of reality TV. My husband recently asked me why I liked reality so much, and I really began to think about it...... My reply...... "They make me look good." LOL

Hey, did you hear today that AMC and OLTL are going online? And actually, they don't compete. Soaps are not primetime.

kwhite 07-07-2011 12:13 PM

I can't wait. I have been waiting for WEEKS!!!!! Yippeee. No one better call me while it is on.

haven't watched for a few years but will give it a go this year.

Mary O 07-07-2011 03:08 PM

Don't like that show. Would rather watch paint dry.

valsma 07-07-2011 03:10 PM

I usally end up watching and started in season 1 but now not so much. I'm kinda over the reality tv thing except DWTS which I watch for the dancing.

Grandmommyannalee 07-07-2011 03:16 PM

Maroy O, You sound like my hubby to each their own Enjoy your evening

That's okay, it's not required viewing ;-)

lovequilts 07-07-2011 04:47 PM

Whoo Hoo....can't wait to see the new folks for this season.

Grandmommyannalee 07-07-2011 04:55 PM

They say alot of changes can`t wait

Jamiestitcher62 07-07-2011 05:52 PM

I watched from the beginning, but the last couple of years when they started using the retreads from previous shows, calling them superstars, I lost interest.

Survivor lost me when they did the same thing. I don't want to see people who have already been there and done that. Plus every year these shows have to recruit weirder and weirder people to make viewers come back.

Mazda 07-07-2011 05:53 PM

Yes, I watch it!

Marye 07-07-2011 07:39 PM

I watched it to see who was on it and Rachel is back will not watch anymore this year. Her voice to me is like fingernails on a black board.

lol, she is cringe worthy ;-)

Jim 07-07-2011 07:50 PM

Ive had it set to record on DVR for two weeks..watched it already and seems it will be up to it's usual "Expect the unexpected" norm, with all the player couples from previous years....Glad we all enjoy different things..how boring would the world be if we all liked the exact same things...there are times that things happen when watching paint dry would be my choice...things like golf or most sports on tv...I'd rather be there in person than to watch it on tv...BUT as for BB ...We are avid fans...already twist and turns I am looking forward to seeing
