My Own Worst Enemy!!
BIG BROTHER 8 Launches!!
Now With Showtime Too!!

I can't fucking wait. by Lenny Nero	Jul 5th, 2007 12:44:40 AM
I don't really feel like getting into it again, BigE, why I love it so much, since I've done it so many times and people still blow me off, but I consider this to be pretty close to what "reality television" was intended to be. It's on 3 nights a week, so very little can be manipulated (I know one of the editors, so I can tell you that at least his segments are not fabricated drama). It also puts people into a situation where they can only, truly be themselves. Even if they start with an act, it's gone three weeks into the show because they have nowhere to go and nowhere to hide 24/7. This show is about the human condition, and tends to get better each year.
Three nights a week??? by ScarranHalfBreed	Jul 5th, 2007 12:47:02 AM
British BB is on every freakin' night! And it's dull as shit. But I'm growing less and less fond of reality TV as I get older.
That dudes looks like a poor mans Tommy Lee. by GQtaste	Jul 5th, 2007 01:01:58 AM
Like a total dipshit!
The show has gotten worse every year. by GQtaste	Jul 5th, 2007 01:04:56 AM
They used to have a wide range of people. Different ages, all differnt walks of life. Now it's all struggling actors wanting to get on tv that our all single and atrractive.
She's a Hooters waitress? by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 01:11:18 AM
well. hello.
Ah, summer by Hamtaro_Hentai	Jul 5th, 2007 01:11:54 AM
Thank god the weather is good when they air the really unwatchable shows. Enjoy, I'll be outside on a lawn chair reading.
agreed. the reason they invented unscripted. by splungiest	Jul 5th, 2007 01:13:43 AM
they should air this year-round.
why fill the house with such attractive people? by darth girlfriend	Jul 5th, 2007 01:16:58 AM
it's certain to keep me away!
they're going to let them run around in swimear? by darth girlfriend	Jul 5th, 2007 01:20:59 AM
half-naked? all summer? why is this show so popular? I can't believe CBS is interrupting the steady stream of CSI repeats for this!
Dick wants to kick Bush in the nuts?? by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 01:23:41 AM
I hope he gets voted off first. Tattooed ingrate.
Carol by splungiest	Jul 5th, 2007 01:26:38 AM
Carol needs to offer herself up for birthday dessert. My bithday dessert. Mine.
Dick knocked six years off! by darth girlfriend	Jul 5th, 2007 01:35:37 AM
What a maroon!
Does Showtime Too have more than one feed? by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 01:39:01 AM
It would suck if they delayed it until midnight on the West Coast, where the show originates
darthuuser by splungiest	Jul 5th, 2007 01:59:32 AM
There are two Showtime Too feeds, but my cable system carries both. Perhaps yours does also.
Herc by splungiest	Jul 5th, 2007 02:00:18 AM
Ban Browcoatjedi. He is trolling. This violates AICN rules. Do it now!
Carol & Jessica: lesbian exes? by darth girlfriend	Jul 5th, 2007 02:24:29 AM
Did Midwestern morals thwart their steamy leotard love affair?
Browncoatjedi by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 02:38:08 AM
Every season is different. You think you could let the first fucking episode air before passing judgment?
BrowncoatJedi = angry virgin by darth girlfriend	Jul 5th, 2007 02:45:52 AM
The weakest part of this site is its failure to crack down and ban useless nerds who critique projects they've barely (or never) watched.
Lenny Nero nailed it. by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 03:13:28 AM
Each year the producers get a little better at shaking the box, and each year the show gets a better. Evil Dr. Will's "I hate you all" speech last year was fucking genius.
Can't Wait by DarthDooku	Jul 5th, 2007 03:38:06 AM
Finally, something to watch on TV!
DirecTV Too by darth girlfriend	Jul 5th, 2007 03:42:57 AM
Apparently DirecTV only carries the East Coast feed of Showtime Too, so there's no delay there either--no matter which time zone you're in.
Darth Girlfriend by CBS Exec	Jul 5th, 2007 03:56:09 AM
...should also be banned. S/he is attacking those who apparently do not have a way to reply themselves, being as how they are seemingly being deleted en mass for so much as articulating a negative opinion on the TalkBack subject. Quite frankly, I would think that anyone watching this show would be an angry virgin, being as how those capable of getting laid wouldn't need to live vicariously through something as cheaply produced as a Reality TV show where everybody with a headshot and a summer acting class under their belt is attempting to capture their 15 minutes of fame. Nothing more or less. Television used to be about creating great characters and stories and expanding on the concepts and vision of that show. Oh, and one last thing. Stating a negative opinion is NOT trolling. If that were the case, they should discontinue the TalkBacks as a whole as well as censor any negative review. Let's start with Vern's "Transformers" review and work backwards. I am also curious why stating a negative opinion without seeing an episode of Big Brother is verboten, yet we can slag on Flash Gordon without so much as 60 seconds having been seen all day long without being accused of trolling or having the messages removed. At this rate, I suppose Harry is lucky to have been the owner of the site, otherwise he may have been deleted for the article he posted about On The Lot.
yawn? by palewook	Jul 5th, 2007 05:10:55 AM
i subscribe to showtime, and this is a new low even for them
What a sad day for AICN. by DerLanghaarige	Jul 5th, 2007 06:20:44 AM
Talkbacks about Sex & The City and Big Brother? Okay, I understand that now, that Transformers is in theatres, there is not much left to talk about, but come on!!!!
That's not fair by Lost Prophet	Jul 5th, 2007 06:30:37 AM
we get BB inflicted on us in some form for sodding hours every night on multiple channels and you only have to deal with it three noghts a week. Pah, I'm jealous.
Big brother 8 in the uk is by emeraldboy	Jul 5th, 2007 06:36:38 AM
dire absolutely dire. In fact it is so bad. They are all leaving the house. They are all like rats deserting a sinking ship.
Endemol by emeraldboy	Jul 5th, 2007 06:51:59 AM
are the anti-chirst. in a cynically tired and desperate attempt to pull in the viewers, they announced that they were going to have a competition to find a suitable kidney donor for three "people" and that one of those "people" would get a brand new kidney if the company found a suitable donor 30,000 to match. this they said was to raise awareness for the lack of govt action in the netherlands over state back kidney dontations. The tv station owned by endermol, was forced to reveal the whole thing was a hoax and that the "people" who would get the kidney were all actors. How low can you get....
bullshit emeraldboy by Lost Prophet	Jul 5th, 2007 07:26:54 AM
1 of them walked. 1 of them requested to walk and didn't and one of them left because his gran died. It is shit though. The kidney thing wasn't as bad as youare making out- it was a stunt to raise awareness of lack of transplants. big Brother is worse-
Well thanks, Lenny by theBigE	Jul 5th, 2007 08:20:23 AM
I guess I don't agree with you - I find the show boring and the people in it pathetic, but I appreciate you responding to my post BEFORE IT GOT PULLED! FOR WHAT REASON? What's with the censorship today? Could someone please explain? I posted first last night and it's gone! That's why Lenny's first post is responding to me.
Lost Prophet by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 09:15:02 AM
Strictly speaking, Americans will be getting BB nightly now as well, or at least Showtime subscribers will.
Shouldn't the Internet feeds be up already? by splungiest	Jul 5th, 2007 09:29:26 AM
At least some goldfish or something? I remember that last year everybody knew which all-stars got into the house because of voices that could be heard.
The feeds by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 09:38:02 AM
I assume the early word on who got into the house last year is WHY we still don't have goldfish or a fireplace or anything yet.
omg ive been waiting since Lost ending for this night!! by nalapou	Jul 5th, 2007 10:27:50 AM
best reality show by FAR.
I'm obsessed with this insane show by Katie Geek	Jul 5th, 2007 10:38:38 AM
Watching people war for money on those feeds is just a fascinating window on the human condition. I wonder how many university psychology theses have been built upon the show at this point. 100? 1,000? 10,000? BB is now the reason I look forward to July 4.
I'm thinking Dick and Daniele could be huge allies. by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 10:52:33 AM
Their estrangement may or may not have something to with Daniele's mom. With the mom out of the mix for three months, the relationship could evolve into a tight bond. Or not. And that's why this makes for great TV.
I do kinda wish Dr. Will could be in every edition by Katie Geek	Jul 5th, 2007 11:04:09 AM
Best reality-show contestant EVER.
I think the coolest thing about this Showtime Too thing by splungiest	Jul 5th, 2007 11:20:58 AM
is you can record it. The Internet feeds are great, but you're sort of a slave to the houseguests' schedule, and you can miss amazing stuff that's now gone forever. The night Will and Erika were bunkered down in the HoH room while Danielle kept up with the psychotic doorbell ringing was way fucking scarier in the feeds than it was on the broadcast, just because CBS couldn't devote airtime to the whole fucked-up event. There are so many Showtime and Movie Channels now, I wonder how much subscribers would mind if Showtime Too just went 24/7 BB. (Though I guess RealNetworks would not be down with that idea.)
whoanecron by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 11:40:20 AM
I had the same thought about Joe/Dustin. Could everybody in the house gets his own enemy? People who don't apply for the show but find themselves being recruited for it surely have to know they're connected to another contestant.
RealNetworks > Showtime Too by darth girlfriend	Jul 5th, 2007 11:55:41 AM
The Internet feeds are more interactive, as the quadcam system gives you a choice (usually) of which players you want to follow. It would actually be cool, though, if Showtime tried to follow players who were NOT on the Internet feeds at that moment. (Not that that will happen.)
BB never really had a lot of oldsters by Katie Geek	Jul 5th, 2007 12:17:06 PM
I remember Chicken George, and Jack the FBI guy, but neither was really what you'd call geezerly. BB has always skewed toward 20-30somethings. Survivor has seen a more dramatic age-shift; its oldest contestants seem to be getting younger every year.
Dick wants to kick Bush in the nuts?? by Quin the Eskimo	Jul 5th, 2007 12:34:09 PM
It's OK 'cause Bush wants to kick Dick in the nuts!
Fox Reality by Katie Geek	Jul 5th, 2007 12:59:00 PM
puts on every shitty British or Australian dating show. A foreign edition of BB always seemed conspicous by its omission. It's probably in CBS's contract with Endermol that no other channel or network can offer BB in the US.
Joe Schmoe by Stuntcock Mike	Jul 5th, 2007 01:30:42 PM
The one dumbass show I miss.
No Chilltown by jimbojones123	Jul 5th, 2007 02:52:20 PM
No Jimbo. Oh, and I ain't shellin' out the $13.99 a month for Showtime either.
CBS Exec.... by DarthDooku	Jul 5th, 2007 03:27:34 PM
No freedom of speech?
I'm not sure if I'd get Showtime Just For Big Bro AD by Katie Geek	Jul 5th, 2007 03:58:52 PM
But "Weeds" is back for a month.
Bring back The MOLE! by Loosejerk	Jul 5th, 2007 04:06:59 PM
That first season was great. Too bad 9/11 disrupted Season Two and Celebrity Mole was dreck. The terrorists truly have won.
Yeah, I'd be down for more Mole by darthuser	Jul 5th, 2007 04:32:20 PM
Anderson Cooper Mole, that is, not Ahmad Rashad Mole. Rashad seemed to think he was Bill Cosby because he smoked a cigar. The show I really miss though is Project Greenlight.
What's the point of American Big Brother??? by ZeroCorpse	Jul 5th, 2007 05:31:03 PM
No tits. No sex. No watching them bathe. No swearing., Etc. etc. etc. Who wants to watch people do things that the American censors would allow? Who acts like that in real life? Maybe Big Brother would make sense in America if they had a family of hardcore southern Methodist instead of trying to pass off hip, pretty young people... At least then we'd know why we're not seeing any of the more interesting activities. Big Brother without sex is just hanging out at your cousin's house watching him beat your sister at Boggle.
Jemeka: "She has been very by ZeroCorpse	Jul 5th, 2007 05:39:35 PM
Jemeka: "She has been very isolated, actually. She is from a part of Maryland where she has not been exposed to white people. She really hasn't had any white friends and now she is in a house full of white people. It should be interesting. She is funny and gutsy. She will be really fun to watch." DAVE CHAPPELLE WAS RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
What I don't get? by Katie Geek	Jul 5th, 2007 05:53:49 PM
Why no Celebrity version. Britain's had five or something but they never got around to it here.
AND WE'VE GOT THE FEED! by Katie Geek	Jul 5th, 2007 06:58:29 PM
sqee!
Man, that dude is really queer, no? by GQtaste	Jul 5th, 2007 07:36:40 PM
He's worse than Bunky, Will, etc. Total flamer in the house. Why do they always have to be the total sterotype? Just like the older women who stated that if one of her kids "Chose" to be gay she'd be very disapointed.
showtime by NinjaChampion	Jul 5th, 2007 09:51:45 PM
the live feeds and the showtime footage should start at the same time.
Jameka by Tikkanen	Jul 5th, 2007 10:43:30 PM
how racist, not having any white friends. You've gotta try hard, like live in Compton, to not know any crackas.
Unless I missed something... by MrHardaway	Jul 6th, 2007 12:09:51 AM
...that MySpace page can't be Dick's, because it lists his last log in as yesterday, 7/5/07.
It also says that he's 38 and cbs says he's 44. by GQtaste	Jul 6th, 2007 01:09:50 AM
what gives w/ that?
Its like a tragically crap version of Saw III.... by Kizeesh	Jul 6th, 2007 07:29:58 AM
this is why I despise big brother. Reality Tv is done, over, let it go...
If there were more people like EvelDick... by kingharvest	Jul 6th, 2007 07:32:05 AM
...and less phony looking twenty-somethings, this might actually be worth watching.
The surprise twist this year? The Daleks are behind BB by SpyGuy	Jul 6th, 2007 07:41:55 AM
Of course, anyone who watched the DOCTOR WHO episode "Bad Wolf" already knows this.
If you want to blame anyone for big brother by emeraldboy	Jul 6th, 2007 11:49:39 AM
blame Peter Bazaelgette. He ruined british tv in the 1990's, by blasting tv schedules with DIY Shows and gardening programs. They were popular for a while. Bazalgette blased a trail of tv destruction ever since. He now, quelle suprise now works for Endemol and Was one of the commission editors on C4 who embraced big brother.
I love this horrible trash by Homer Sexual	Jul 6th, 2007 07:52:46 PM
Yes! I am so lame that I have been wishing for something to see on TV, cause nothing good's on now, and yes! BB, I watched the first few episodes and they were awful. Last summer I tuned in out of boredom...and was hooked. This seems to be very trashy. Trashy in a fun way. This show tends to be reprensible, but very entertaining. I hated all the all stars except Nakomis, and loved the season. And this one looks equally guilty pleasurable!
After seeing Dick in his swimsuit ... by splungiest	Jul 6th, 2007 11:18:44 PM
I think the funniest thing ever is he identifies himself on his MySpace page as a "bodybuilder".
This is a test. by Seph_J	Jul 7th, 2007 08:30:24 AM
Everything else I've posted in this fucking tb has been deleted by some fat geeky fuck I assume. This is simply a test to see if this also goes. Message to whoever deletes this: "fuck you".
Well thats the longest my posts ever stayed up... by Seph_J	Jul 7th, 2007 11:55:14 AM
... maybe fuck-wit grew a brain.
Are they deleting posts? by Chest_Rockwell	Jul 7th, 2007 01:21:14 PM
Cuz I posted how fucking lame this site is getting when it has BB8 talkbacks, but no JfC, or Big Love, or Entourage talkbacks. And now that post is gone.
Yes mate by Seph_J	Jul 8th, 2007 04:01:40 AM
They've zapped a couple of mine. And to be honest I'm hurt by it. I wasn't the first to go either. The first post was nuked. I replied to it saying that I also was 'dissenting' and that vanished too. Fucking sense of humour failure from somebody I think. Cunt.
Jen=super hotness!!! by Ka Dargo	Jul 9th, 2007 12:30:34 AM
Holy Hell is she hot!!! I hope she doesn't hook up with any of those damn pretty boys. What a body and face and hair!!! Could've done without the crying over her picture but damn look at those tits!!!
Jen= who cares, look at her!! by Ka Dargo	Jul 9th, 2007 02:56:47 PM
I'm sure those issues would be overlooked by every guy in here...lol...at least for awhile.
Jen is the most shallow chick I've ever seen. by GQtaste	Jul 10th, 2007 08:18:59 PM
makes me sick to think about that chick. What a waste of nice ass!
She is shallow.... by Ka Dargo	Jul 10th, 2007 11:47:39 PM
And its really annoying that of course she's all over the pretty boy. Now i want her to be booted. And that stupid annoying voice blonde with her skank smirk after Carol got nominated needs to exit too.
Forgot about the God lady.... by Ka Dargo	Jul 11th, 2007 01:19:58 AM
That is ridiculous that she thinks god has anything to do with it. And all the crying...yikes...wish they would boot 2 at one time.Her and annoying dumb ass blonde. And Jen is hot, im lookin at the whole package. More then just big tits.
