Does anybody watch the show Big Brother 8?

Question

If anybody has opinions on the show Big Brother then please post them. Personally i HATE Jen and i hope Carol is voted off because i think Amber deserves it more.

Answer 1

I have only seen the premiere episode so far. I used to be a really big fan of the show, but this year I just think it's really trashy in an obvious ploy to gain higher ratings. I don't like that everyone in the house is (other than two people) a twenty-something who obviously is on the air to get "discovered." And I especially hate how stagey the show is, from the introductory videos of the individual housemates, which took a page out of MTV's dating show book at scripting testimonials, all the way to the polarizing factors of certain people in the house (Kail believes homosexuality is a choice, so she was obviously brought in to bump heads with Joe and Dustin at some point, which is as bad as bringing in a racist or a Nazi).

A lot of the people (such as Jen, Joe, Danielle, Carol, and Jessica so far) don't even seem like real people so much as caricatures-- like they've fit a stereotypical mold, used that to their advantage to get on the show, and are now hamming it up even more for the cameras.

They should just call this season "CBS' The Real World."

I read a recap of the second episode about Jen crying over a picture, and that alone made me want to smack her. It was bad enough the way she was talking about herself during the introductions, like she's just Miss Perfect, and if it wasn't over something so petty, I would have enjoyed seeing her knocked down a peg or two. I agree about Carol being voted out over Amber, too, though, because I think parents who come on shows like this really have motivated (and a good one) to do the shows. They give up a lot to potentially win money that could change their kids' lives, but it's not an easy decision to make.

As far as the guys go, I think Eric's great, but I'm afraid the America's Choice twist is going to majorly sabotage him, and I hope that's not true. Nick is the most attractive guy in the house, physically, in my opinion, but he has that frat boy aura that will probably annoy me sooner rather than later if I keep watching.

Oh, and partnering with Skinemax for "Big Brother After Dark" I think validates my claims that the show has become trashy!

Answer 2

I hate Jen too. I loved what they said about those retarded shirts shes been wearing. I voted for Amber to get kicked off because I want Danielle to win it and I think Amber is a huge threat. I do feel bad because she has kids though. I love to watch the drama, and I think Carol will bring more of that since she has an enemy. That Jessica girl gets on my nerves, and I don't want her bragging about getting Carol out. I like Americas Player alot. I think he did great with the whole sob story thing. I know one thing, I can't wait until Thursday's show to see who goes home. I think America will want him to vote out Carol.

Answer 3

Love Big Brother!

I think Jen needs to Go Too.Whats up with her Telling Nick She Hates for him to talk to Daniele?How long have they Been in the House?She acts like He is her Boyfriend & hardly even knows him.

I would also like to she Carol gone & yes Amber would be more deserving of the money because of supporting A family.But we all know she will be a target because of this.

Jen & Joe both need to get on the block & out of there FAST!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I hope Carol is voted off to although Amber does cry alot. I guess it is hard to say who deserves it or not this early on. She is a single mom and would be nice to see her have a big nest egg to help support her. Jenn is really annoying but she might make the show more interesting and thus far it is kinda boring. I miss Janelle, Howie and Willl....always will be favorites of Big Brother.

Answer 5

I think that Jen is would be funny to keep around for a while because it would cause so much drama!! I think Amber is making such a big deal about having kids...she cries all the time for them, but plenty of other people in the house and in the world have kids too! Like yah she had a hard time and her family depends on her but we got that the first 3 times she said it! I also think its weird that Daniele claims to hate her dad so much but she herself even said she doesn't know why she doesn't like him in the second episode, he is being nice to her and she won't even talk to him still!! Jessica reminds me of Holly!!! But she makes me laugh so i want her to stay for a few more weeks! I really miss BB6 & 7 though!! Jedi Janie, Howie, and Kaysar are the best big brothers yet!

Answer 6

Man I can't stand ...I think her name is jessica. She annoys the heck out of me. Jen is a spoiled vain idiot, and Joe is a big jerk. I just noticed I seem to be having issues with the J people. It is always hard to pick the first person to leave the house, because we haven't gotten to know anybody that well. I know Amber could use the money...so maybe she should stay.

Answer 7

I agree with everything you wrote 100%. Carol doesn't need the money.

BTW, when Amber has her hair up, she looks like Molly Shannon from Saturday Night Live. I don't know why I thought that, but she does.

Answer 8

I think Amber is to emotionally involved. Its just a game and shouldn't be what "saves" your family. She won't ever be able to just relax and have fun. So I hope she goes Thursday. Jen is extremely weird and annoying, and what is up those shirts she wears!

Answer 9

I agree 100%.

I can't stand Jen at all. She is so gross....and Jessica is really starting to grate on my nerves....

I think Amber deserves it more but her act might get old pretty quickly.....

Wouldn't it be something if it came down to the final two of Evil Dick and Daniele or Dustin and Joe???

Whooooa, trippppy!

Answer 10

Jen is a $uckin' liar. I knew she was lying when Nick confronted her. She was just jealous of Danielle. What a lying #itch.
