Why Are You Watching?

I am absolutely loving this season of Big Brother. It's driving me crazy but I love it! Seasons 2 and 3 will always be favorites for me but I think this season ranks right up there.

I love the houseguests (past and present) this season. I love all of the drama that has happened and the drama that's still unfolding.

I'm enjoying the commotion that the America's Player tasks create for Eric and the other hamsters. I will absolutely love it when all of the houseguests find out about America's Player.

I'm enjoying the stupidity the houseguests have shown when it concerns breaking up the Dick and Daniele alliance. I find it completely amusing that so many of them can have their minds changed by somebody in practically under a minute.

I love that a penalty nomination was finally handed out and then taken back. I love how Big Brother will be casting their own vote this week.

I love how much we're all wrapped up in this game this season. Some hate it, some love it. Some hate Dick and some love him. Some can't stand Jameka and/or Amber and others love them. The Daniele fans and her haters. The Eric ambivalence. Jen's attitude.

There are so many different categories of fans this season. Many more so I feel compared to previous seasons (especially the last two seasons).

But let's face it. We are Big Brother addicts. We have this love/hate relationship with this game show and we can't deny it. We look forward to it every year. When June rolls around we start getting excited because we know we'll soon have new hamsters to root for and against. We start flocking to our favorite Big Brother sites searching for information. Little things make us giddy like the CBS Big Brother page going up or reading a sliver of a rumor about a possible houseguest.

So I would like to end this post with one single question that I'd like you all to answer if you could spare a little time. Why are you watching Big Brother?

ETA at 11:40 AM - BTW, try to watch or record 'Power of 10' tonight. I think tonight's episode will be the one that has Amber and Daniele on it. At least that's the rumor going 'round.

BB is my guilty pleasure. It's like reading trashy romance novels ... like bubblegum for the brain. You can enjoy it without having to worry too much about the consequences. And, really, I continue to be amazed every day what folks will do in the name of the almighty dollar. Not to say that if placed in the same situation, I wouldn't do the same.

Love you HD! Keep up the good work!

First of all, many thanks to you HD for all you do on this site. It's the first thing I check each day when I can finally get online.

I watch BB because I love seeing the different people and how they interact with each other. I love seeing each person's strengths and their foibles and how easily they may or may not be manipulated. I love seeing how the fans ( all of us ) react to each other also. What a study in human personality!

Each year I swear I will not watch but I do and I get sucked in and it becomes a big part of my day until the end. I especially like this season because of the America"s Player and all the complications it causes... I think they picked the perfect player in Eric.

I have to say that I was a BB fan since season 3... but finding the various BB blogs and message boards really adds to the show.

Because of that, BB8 is my favorite season so far (didn't watch much of 6 or 7 - couldn't get into them)...

Big Brother, to me, is about the characters of the people and their strategy... what would I do in their place. It's the same perspective as a sports fan... "Oh! Why did they do that?!?"
