Way too many bleached-blonde skanks with too much eye liner. Lots of oversexed egomaniacal camera whores (and some crying, already!).
I do like the middle-aged FBI guy, and I could get used to looking at the blondie guy for a week or two.
Ten minutes in, and the words “dude,” “woo-hoo-hoo!” and “funky” have been used non-ironically. The Chen is dressed surprisingly normally! The Western fringe-y belt has got to go, though.
Should I feel guilty for hating the only Asian chick with the intensity of five atom bombs? “She’s 33, so she’s at her peak on the way down.” Bite me, Jun.
Johnny Fever? Lose the stocking cap. And put your arms down.
Oh, who said, “I thought he was gay from the way he was dressed?” Didn’t see, but he can bite me, too.
And that Housemaster bedroom looks like Fred Flintsone’s bachelor pad.
That girl from Meadville (sorry, Meadville is NOT Pittsburgh–us yinzers have to have some pride) seemed to be freaking out way too much about seeing her ex, and most of it seemed to be based on what her current boyfriend would think. It seemed really weird.
I think it’s not fair that only some of them got to have exes come in. All or none, I say.
And how far ahead of us are they this year? I was planning on getting the live feeds just to see how the rest of this evening went, but they’re already showing previews of them in swimsuits in the daytime. Pfft. This is supposed to be LIVE, people!
And Julie Chen is not grating on me yet, but give her a few days and she’ll be back to her old self in no time!
Is Meadeville the weepy blondie girl? As Marlene Dietrich would say, “I am wee-wee of her now.”
The little baby high-school ex looks and sounds like Amy Fisher–hope she’s also packing heat.
Could I possibly hate Jun any more? “My ex wanted me to make him dinner, so now I never date Korean men.” I hope she and cheatie-ex perish in a tragic sex accident.
Personally, I think we’re off to another great season! I already hate several of them and others I get confused, seems pretty normal to me. I’m pretty interested to see what’s going to happen this season. Was I the only one who hoped the X factor was Jason Guy?
I know–I think the live feeds that they had in past years in addition to the recaps were an extra strain on their already-taxed servers. Le sigh.
Anyway, here’s a good place to get your live feed fix, at least. God forbid I sit at work with RealPlayer and my headphones watching these people, but I’ll sit at my desk for the whole summer pressing F5 to reload the live feeds.
Oh thank you Eve! Right after the show went off, I came here to share…of course, I tripped into a Pit thread on the way, and then fell headlong into the Tombstone thread. Where was I??
I gotta say, BB is one of my very favorite reality shows.
I have been giggling every time the commercials came on, since they announced the “X Factor”. I tell you the truth, if my ex-husband walked in, I’d be the Bugs Bunny imprint on the front door. Buuuut…I wouldn’t do a reality TV show, so you get what you ask for.
Allison is the weepy blonde who’s ex apparently terrifies her. I don’t know if it’s, as she claims, because she is afraid of what her current boyfriend will say OR…in my growing belief–she did something BAD in that relationship, or was a raving pyscho. (Now, I do base this initially on that snippet of her and ex-bf comparing notes on one another. She said he got crazy after wrestling season ended, HE says she climbed up his fire escape drunk.) Gotta say, I see that hilarity will ensue with these two.
I hate the Pilates Instructor. Elise? Eileen? Esomething. She’s annoying BEYOND words. Hated her from the very beginning. Does anyone else think her ex looks like Bishop in Aliens??
FBI guy should be able to coast for a good long time.
Ranger Boy and Ex will probably get back together. They had a HS thing and broke up on good terms. Weirdos.
Eve, Jun–the Korean chick–[Chandler]could not BE more annoying [/Chandler]. Hate her second only to the PI. (Pilates Instructor, not Private Eye)
Little Boy from OK. What a HOTTIE! He’s the Hardy (thought not QUITE that cute, to me) factor I think.
All in all, an ok bunch. SO is irritated because he doesn’t think any of the girls are particularly cute this year. :rolleyes:
They for sure found some obnoxious people…
What is wrong with blond princess crying her eyes out already “my boyfriend isn’t gonna like him (the ex) in the house… boohoo” Jesus Christ, relax…
It looks promisingly (sp!?) bad, so I guess I am hooked…
Do they always start with than many people in the house? This is going to drag for so long.
Big Brother is the only reality show I watch. I don’t like the “X-Factor” idea. It seems staged. How would these people ramble on and on in these interviews about thier exes without knowing something is up? I hope the original 8 do vote out all the exes, and then get on with the rest of the show. I’m making the early prediction that Ranger Boy will win it all. Go ahead, be brave, and give you pick as well.
Dammit, you people just HAD to make a new thread on this when there was already one open… Here.
So, how are we structuring the thread(s) this year, folks? Are we doing like we did last time and having one LOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG-ass thread or are we doing separate threads for each episode (or maybe week, since there are three eps per week (there are three this year, right?))?
And would you prefer me to post the synopses here or in the other thread? Or in a completely new thread devoted to it?
We need some organization on this or we’ll end up having 14 threads for each episode with everyone missing what everyone else is saying because the conversation is spread out all over God’s creation and Cafe Society…
I hated how they tried to make the beginning all dramatic, it annoyed the living hell out of me. I was literally laughing out loud during the opening.
I also hated pretty much every person on the show with the exception of the Karate instructer…she seemed pretty cool. Also, the blonde guy seemed like a pretty nice guy. Oh, the FBI guy was alright but the hair bothered me for some reason.
Jun seems like a real snot. I do, however, hope she stays around for a while, she’ll be fun to watch. The touque guy rubs me the wrong way as well, I really don’t know why. The Pilates instructor seems alright but there’s something about her… Clay Aikin appears to have a very high opinion of himself. Why he thinks he’s got any business cheating on Pilates girl, I dunno?
The blond who cried all the time - good lord, get a grip…do you know how easy it will be to keep your current boyfriend? Don’t fuck your old one…good god.
