I am indifferent to it. I don't particularly like it or even care about it, but it's not that bad (yet). The only good thing in my opinion is that it seems like it won't interfere with the game play all that much. It's not keeping people safe, the person answering it isn't getting platinum POV's, etc. It seems like it is there to simply be used to liven things up if the house gets boring or something like that.

I never advocated the amount of polish that Grodner and her team invoke upon the US game, but a certain amount is necessary otherwise things look messy. BBUSA isn't even necessarily polished in my opinion, but just heavily manipulated. What I was referring to was the simple things and mistakes that are evident in the show, such as showing the replacement nominee before they have even shown the POV ceremony. It's not a big deal to us, I guess, but to people who don't watch the feeds or read the updates it probably is.

Also, what happens when the HG's sing on this version? Are they allowed to, or do these houseguests simply not sing?

Disappointed with Thursday show. They showed the replacement nom in the chair right away. The segment for the POV ceremony should have been shown first.

Dan coming in at the end was badly done and a waste of time. It was a very short segment.

The cast should have been picked by Slice. No help from US producers and Cast. The first After Dark they just talked about getting famous and bars. Very boring.

Another problem is the small picture on Slice. Global aired the 1st show and it was a full screen. Slice should have the same.

Right now I'm fast forwarding thru the show and skipping AD. Going to wait and hope things pick up.

That was the one thing that I was most disappointed with production wise. Also, they seemed to edit out Suzette's reason for her nominations. Overall, production seems much less polished than it does for BBUSA. I guess that's too be expected since it's so early in the very first season.

Yeah, it would be nice to have older players to see how it would work up in Canada as compared to the US.

When you say that you are ashamed of the prize, you mean how it's only 100k? Slice isn't going to have the financial coffers that CBS has, I guess. I definitely agree that she has mentioned it a lot, but it's only the second show so perhaps it will decrease during week 2.

Why should you be ashamed? People on a reality television show aren't indicative of the what an entire country of people is like. If everyone in the US was like who was portrayed on BBUSA, most people would only be concerned about becoming big Hollywood stars. And since the same casting agency was used for the Canadian version, you can't be surprised that this is who you got. There is a specific quota of specific kinds of people that you are put on there (like the flamboyant gay guy, or the typical jock). If anything, I think the cast on this version is better than what we typically get on the US version.

I think it was bad for Frank that he said what he did before he went out the door. Ian had no choice but to put Frank up after that.

The first one to get the cork out of the safety jar is the only one who can be safe.

I can certainly understand why you would turn it off. Having to watch Boogie strut around the house thinking he is the best thing since sliced bread makes me want to do the exact same thing.

Well it depends on your station. My area has CBS and CW affiliates as sister stations, but in other markets it could differ (or there might not be one at all). It's really just the luck of the draw as to what they air (whichever will bring in more viewers). You can find links online that stream the show while it is airing, so maybe you could find one and bookmark it again just in case.

I think they said the contract said that all terms were subject to change, so I don't see why they couldn't have gone back on that.

It's not on in every affiliate, and I think it's up to the station as to what they air so there would be no reason for CBS to move it. FWIW, some stations move their programming. In my area the CBS and CW stations are sisters, so whenever the CBS station (KDKA) preempts programming it's on the CW instead. You could check to see if there are sister stations in your area.

I think it should have been all have to press it instead of just one...but then they wouldn't have gotten the coaches if that had happened.

Who hit the reset button?? My feed froze after Britney.

All of them except Boogie hit it.

Shane should be allowed to compete too because no one was evicted.

He is able to compete. That's what Julie said...

That's a more complicated twist than I expected it would be!

It's because we all know that the coaches are coming in and Janelle will be winning HOH. It's almost a given.

whenever I see chinhair on Joe's face no matter what color I keep remembering some distant children's rhyme referring to a pig, "By the hair of his little chinny chin chin..." It annoys me. Makes him look like a Clingon or something.

What I want to know is how he gets it that color. It's almost like a blonde color...does he dye it?

Lol, auroradawn...and you said I have a dark sense of humor.

I know Frank's dad is a millionaire but for 25 he don't look so good. Maybe it's that Shirley Temple hair thingy he's got going on....

Frank is rode hard and put away wet. Maybe he'll be a guest on Dr. Will's show...like Boogie....

Is he really 25? I don't believe it! He looks more like 35 or 40.

While preparing breakfast this morning, Joe took a bathroom break, returned to kitchen but didn't wash his hands...I don't eat where this dude works...

"Celebrities" all around America will be calling after the show is over and asking him for a refund.

See this is what happens when you burn bridges Jani! That why u dont play with emotions! Now gets going to bite u in the butt! Cant believe she is trying to kiss up to brit! The way she is playing, both sides would have bound to catch up to her! Dr.Will might be right! If she doesnt win, she will be a 3goner time loser! She has to stop playing with emotions! Who turns on their alliance on the first week! As soon as the two sides stop going after each other, they will both come after you and that is what is happening!

This is because Janelle has no social game really. If she did, all of the houseguests in BB6/7 wouldn't have loathed her. Her only saving grace was that she was good at competitions; that's how she stayed so long in both seasons. Now that she currently can't use them to advance her in the game her flaws are highlighted. Everything might change next week, but still. Even if she does win, who is really going to give her any credit? Sure she will have won, but she needed THREE tries in the house to do it, plus countless production manipulation I am sure.

Which in turn ruins the season. Though I am not so sure that this season would have necessarily been better with no returning players. Allison probably picked the cast for the express reason of getting the coaches further.

If the coaches come into the game, hopefully the newbies will be smarter than last years bunch of sheep. If they band together and fight unlike last year, I think it could be interesting. But there seem to be a lot of useless people in the house (I am looking at you Ashley and Jenn and Danielle) so I don't have have much optimism.

They need to start getting people who want to play the game instead of people who just want to use the show as a launchpad for a career in showbusiness they will never have.

Does anyone know where we can rewatch past seasons of BB online now? It seems like CBS got Quirkydude and bbfan76's accounts removed from YouTube, so I don't know where to go. You can purchase some seasons off of iTunes, but that won't help me because the season I want to watch isn't on there (they only have 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13).

If she remains after this week, I think she will be safe for awhile. Presumably, the coaches will begin playing next week, which means that getting rid of her will no longer get rid of Dan.
