For all those that watch Big Brother...

[Shell Beau]

I am afraid my beloved Kaysar will be gone tonight! It is really too bad. He is so smart (even though he should have never given up HOH), and he is so darned cute! :(

[Chichiri]

1. I stopped watching after season 1.

After that it turned into a comfy version of Survivor. Not worth my time.

[underpants]

5. Yes watching people sitting around in AC has little drama

the three shows a week thing really waters down the immediacy.

I still watch though-see below.

[skypilot]

2. He's definitely going.

AGAIN. It was really dumb for him to try to make that deal with Jennifer. He should have known that he'd be targeted just for having been evicted and then returning to the house. Frankly, I wish BB would stop doing that. There is NO chance that someone who is evicted and then returned to the house will EVER win. As soon as they step foot back in that house they are marked. No one is going to let someone who got a "second chance" win the game. Questions of fairness are always going to come up. It is good for drama but if the person is someone your are rooting for it's kinda pointless. You just know that the other houseguests are not going to let that person get very far in the game after they've returned.

[Shell Beau]

3. That is so true. But you know, it may have worked had

Kaysar not quit the HOH game. I was screaming at the TV for him not to do that. I am sad. He was my absolute fave!!!

[MalibuChloe]

15. I prefer Beau and Ivette!

I don't like Kaysar or anyone on his "team."

Bye, Kaysar!

:hi:

(although I do give him his due snaps for educating James about the reality of what's going on in Iraq)

[Shell Beau]

20. Are you serious?

Of course you can like who you want, but are you serious??

[MalibuChloe]

46. YES I am serious!

I like Beau and Ivette - I like the way she protects him and takes care of him because he is clearly really shy, except when drinking.

:beer:

And I like that James admitted he learned something about what the Iraqi people are actually going through, so I'm coming around to liking him a bit, as well.

I liked Eric. He had a big mouth, but he had character and hated Bush.

[Shell Beau]

49. My personality would

have really clashed with Eric's. He is too loud and obnoxious. But whatever floats your boat! :)

[underpants]

26. Kaysar educated James?

:shrug:

[MalibuChloe]

32. James was going on about Bush and Iraq War...

(he supported it) and Kaysar got angry and then took James aside and they talked and James sort of came around to understanding reality.

[underpants]

34. Hmmm

Okay now I have even more respect for Kaysar.

Thanks

[Shell Beau]

42. I love him even more now!

[underpants]

4. We watch( I have no choice in the matter)

Yes he probably will be gone. He did screw up trusting ANYONE but "Jen" just flat out lied twice. She was totally under the radar until last week but she suddenly showed herself to be pretty damned low.

Once Kaysar is gone I am fully rooting for James-why not the rest of them (other than Rachel :loveya: aren't worth it)

Ivette should HAVE been throw out for her obnoxiousness mindlessness
Beau-pfft why? What has he done?
April-I liked her better as Phoebe on "Friends"
Howie-goofball sometimes funny (Jedi?) but I'm not really rooting for him (though I am rooting for that team)
Maggie-Slimy. Anyone who has uttered the word "Cappy" in a gushing praising way is off my list. Okay I respect firemen (Eric) but he is one V-neck tshirt away from a spousal abuse charge.
The blonde Jen-whatever-smarter than she first appeared. I don't mind her so much (and not for the BOD thing Rachel is far better looking than the rest of the ladies put together).

BTW_ Srah is going to get dumped by James like last weeks trash as soon as he gets out but that of course isn't why I am rooting for him.

[Shell Beau]

7. I agree with everything to said!!!

Although, I think they underestimated Jennifer. She came out smarter than I thought! I can't stand her though! Janelle, I like. Howie, goofy for sure, but I like him. Rachel is a pretty smart cookie. James will probably do well now that he obviously has the other side fooled.

[skypilot]

9. James is who I will be rooting for...

...even though he is allegedly a Bush supporter. Actually, I still kinda like Janelle and Howie but it's not going to happen. Janelle has too many enemies in the house and Howie is too flighty. Being a black gay man I normally might root for the black gay man in the game but BB has a tendency to get the most annoying black gay men they can find. Marcellus from a while back annoyed me and Beau from this year is twice as bad.

[underpants]

10. James is Bush supporter?

:shrug:

I wouldn't be surprised either way but where did you hear that?

[skypilot]

14. I was on the message board at IMdB...

...and some folks over there have the live feeds. They were talking about how they didn't like Eric but they were glad that he told off James after James voiced his support for Bush and the war in Iraq.

[Shell Beau]

22. Oh really?

Well that is one good thing about him. He was too loud and obnoxious for me. But kudos to him for what he does everyday!

[underpants]

24. Union guy

That was always Eric second saving grace (fireman being #1). I am glad that he did now.

I would assume that Kaysar is..... for it (the war)? :shrug:

[skypilot]

27. Strangely enough...

...I haven't read or heard anything about how Kaysar feels about it.

On edit: I'm sure he has strong feelings one way or the other but maybe he's putting all that on hold because it might cause too much tension and controversy in the house and not serve his game well.

[TNOE]

35. NOPE

Kaysar set James straight and told him that his people were and are suffering greatly due to this war - I'm glad they showed it.

I'm a Big Brother fan myself.... but it's watercooler talk at work - so what the heck.

Although I heard musings today that after the ceremony - Beau was drunk again and Janelle pushed him & he fell - so the house is pissed at Janelle - so perhaps Kaysar will be saved, but I'm doubtful.


Edited to Add: Given that Kaysar is an Iraq & a muslim, I was real proud of America there for a minute when he was the one they voted back in (instead of the firefighter) which I'm sure everyone thought would be a shoein.

[underpants]

39. Wow thanks-from the live feed?

the Janelle pushing Beau part?

Nope nope nope I am NOT signing up for that!!!!

I really couldn't believe that Beau (anyone realy) didn't make everyone drinks when they were in the box.

[TNOE]

40. Don't watch the live feed

but read it on a website.

[Shell Beau]

47. I did hear that too, but he did something to her

as well. She was cussing everybody out. April, Beau, Jennifer. She is trying to get them to vote her out instead of Kaysar, but I doubt it will happen. She was calling Beau a man-whore and a male prostitute, calling Jennifer a reality tv whore (she has apparently tried out for a lot of shows), calling April stupid. It was crazy. Howie was in on all of it too. Rachel and Kaysar just sat back kind of disappointed in them.

[underpants]

50. Ah Jennifer I could have guessed that

There really isn't much career in Arena Football League dancing (not cheerleader).

[underpants]

45. RE:your edit

I did too but I think that Eric rubbed everyone the wrong way. They almost got rid of him right off just because he was so abrasive but once he stayed in he really started working on that group.

Svengali like.

[xmas74]

62. check his profile on CBS.

His fave show is Hannity and Colmes

[Shell Beau]

13. I liked Marcellus, but Beau doesn't really

do anything to even be on the show. April and Ivette are by far the most annoying people to me.

[skypilot]

16. April and that nasally voice...

...are about to push me right over the edge. If I were in that house I'd be tempted to nominate her for eviction based only on that.

[Shell Beau]

25. Her voice is mind numbing!

I am not into making fun of people for their physical appearances or anything, but what is with her nose?

[underpants]

31. How about her "tail"?

That really freaked everyone out.

So, real or not (you know what I mean)?

BTW_ all pharmaceutical reps are one step down (eye of the beholder) from being models. Must be an industry thing.

[Shell Beau]

38. Nothing on that girl is real!

[underpants]

43. Hahahahha

I didn't think so. The nose is pretty obvious.

[TNOE]

44. Yep

pharmacetuical reps make a TON of money and all they do is wine & dine doctors and give them free trial packs of meds.

April already won $40,000 - they need to boot her. But I'm afraid Kayser, Howie & Rachel just don't have the numbers. they are doomed. Doomed I tell ya.

[skypilot]

33. She reminds me of Christina...

...from the last season of America's Next Top Model. She could be Christina's older, towheaded sister.

[Sanity Claws]

6. My question is why?

I have gotten into some of the reality show but this one struck me as the dumbest of the dumb. The people were photogenic but really blah and dumb. Even the tests they had to do were dumb. I just could not get into it.
What is about the show that you like?

[Shell Beau]

8. I don't really know.

They are not all dumb though. Yes some of them are stupid as dirt, but there are a few good ones on there. I guess the thought of being trapped in a house that you don't even know where it is w/absolutely no communication with the outside (no radio, newspapers, music, tv, pictures, nothing)intrigued me. I am not a Survivor fan even though I know that is a much tougher game. I guess I like it for the drama!

[skypilot]

11. This season isn't as good as past seasons.

It seems to be edited to within an inch of its life. I mean, all the Big Brothers are heavily edited but this season is edited so much that about half the houseguests haven't made much of an impression.

[Sanity Claws]

12. To each his own

I have to admit that there are some things I like that I couldn't explain why I like them. :)

[Left Is Write]

19. My daughter got me sucked into it.

After her boyfriend broke up with her, she asked me to watch with her (they had always watched together), so she wouldn't feel lonely.

The strategy involved isn't particularly brain-stretching, but as fluffy entertainment goes, it seems to work for me. I never watched any of the previous five seasons.

I've never watched Survivor either, but considering that my DAD watched a season of it, there might be something of interest there, and maybe I'll give it a go with the new season.

[skypilot]

23. When the next season comes around...

...you should really check out The Amazing Race. It is the one reality show that I can watch and not think of it as a "guilty pleasure". A really good show.

[Sanity Claws]

28. The Amazing Race is interesting.

You get insight into people's relationships, like how a married couple treats each other. Last season's winners were particularly likeable.

[TNOE]

37. AGREE - THAT IS THE SHOW!!

God I love it.

[Left Is Write]

17. There is no question in my mind that he is getting evicted.

He will get votes from Jennifer, April, James, Ivette, and Beau for sure, and most likely from Maggie also.

Jennifer screwed him over twice: once with who she agreed to put up, and once again when she promised that they would backdoor James.

He should never have trusted her, and he shouldn't have lifted his finger off that button.

The only good thing will be watching the others eventually turn on Jennifer.

[Shell Beau]

18. True! But I am going to miss Kaysar (AGAIN)!

He is so cute!

[Left Is Write]

21. Yes, he is that. Gorgeous.

[Shell Beau]

30. Just in honor of my Kaysar...

[underpants]

29. about Kaysar

this might sound trite and superficial but.... I swear he had their heads swimming simply based on his *mysterious* *foreign* looks-they thought he was all wise and knowing based mostly on that. His being Iraqi (I swear this was my first read on it) was that they thought he was like the guy on "Lost".

[Shell Beau]

36. What? He is much cuter than the guy on Lost!!

:silly: Seriously, he does appear smarter than the rest, but I am not sure that is b/c he is Iraqi. I think he is just smarter. Well it seems as though America was rooting for the Iraqi!

[underpants]

41. 82% of the vote

According to CBS President Les Moonves's wife Julie Chen.

[Shell Beau]

51. Yeah and over 5 million votes. That is

over 4 million votes! Go Kaysar!!!

[underpants]

48. WOW! A Big Brother thread on DU

thanks Shell Beau all that watching finally paid off.

[Shell Beau]

52. I really thought no one would

respond. So I am surprised by how many posts!!! Glad I can discuss it with others who watch!

[Pithlet]

58. There's even a thread in GD about it right now!

It's got spoilers, though, so be warned those who haven't seen the episode yet.

[TNOE]

53. LOL

This is why you got to love DU - there was a thread on 6 Feet under too - and yesterday I even got an answer to an electrical question - otherwise I would have never found out!!!

[Lisa0825]

54. I don't watch it, but he is VERY SEXY!

I've caught a few moments here and there, but haven't watched an ep since season 2. He is one HOT man though! I'd love to be his housemate!

[Shell Beau]

55. HOT!

[Left Is Write]

56. I'm watching right now, Shell, and all hell is breaking loose!

Cat fights! Personal attacks! It's gotten nasty in the house!

[Blue_In_AK]

57. I can't wait until all those little bitches

on the "wrong" side start taking each other out. The bloodletting will be glorious.

[Pithlet]

59. Ooooh, they're showing it!

I knew all about that from the live feeds. I haven't watched my TiVod episode yet.

[xmas74]

60. WHAT UP KAYSAR!

Sweet, sweet Kaysar.

[Left Is Write]

61. Xmas....

Some people haven't watched the ep yet - you might want to put "spoiler" in your title.

[xmas74]

63. I didn't realize that I had put that!

(though it was a given).

[Shell Beau]

64. Kaysar is gone, but Janelle winning

HOH was funny as hell. I know she and Howie have acted immature, but I have to admit I was laughing my ass off! :woohoo:
