Watching TV with my parents.

Because they love to rape the "pause" button. Seriously, Big Brother is enough to make anyone who's not used to it go crazy.

Julie Chen: Who is this houseguest? Which of these four silhlouettes(sp) is the 13th houseguest?
Me: Maybe we'd find out instead of pausing every time they say a word with a vowel with it to discuss who it might be?


And oh yeah, for those who watch Big brother....Jessie. They clearly wanted him in so he'd walk around the house with no shirt on.

Hey, if it's for the chicks, let 'em be. If it's for the host...*shudder*...don't get me started! I don't watch Big Brother*, i'm just stating that.
Also, my parents NEVER even use the pause button...unless it's something important, at least.

*Big Brother 14 is coming soon

That would annoy me.

I am also annoyed that Jessie is the 13th houseguest FUUUUUUUU

Although, it was set up fairly so that Cowboy, Brian (who I was hoping for) and that other chick, could've got in.

I don't think it was set up fairly. While it's clearly not the most slanted challenge in big brother, it was a physical challenge that required upper body strength on top of willpower. Gee, that sounds fair to me! But there have been worse....The final Head of household in Big Brother 10 was just painful to watch. (Jerry vs Memphis in a physical challenge....gee you can clearly tell they didn't want a 70 year old in the final two.)

If those houseguests are smart, then that bodybuilder's gonna be backdoored or evicted before he even gets to the jury.

And nominating Lydia and Chima FFFFFF.

I swear, the day we got Tivo is the day my dad contracted ADD. He is now completely allergic to commercial breaks & must be at least 2 minutes behind on both tuners.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Commercials: Number one annoyance of TV viewers since 1941!

Dude, the Final HoH always consists of an endurance comp, followed by a hybrid consisting of a quiz and being quick on your feet, and then finally a plain quiz. It's been that way since BB2.

There are going to be contests which involve brains over brawn, that's the way it's going to be. That's the way it's always been, the house happens to be specifically divided, that's why it seems "unfair".
Besides, the athletes themselves said that the more you weigh the harder it is. Chima and Lydia are the two lightest in the house. They actually had the advantage (along with Natalie) to win.

^True, true true. Still kinda pathetic to see poor Jerry trying to compete with someone 50 years younger than him. (Not that I was a fan of him...Jerry was only there because Keesha and Ollie coulda beaten Dan&Memphis. I woulda much preferred if Ollie was there. :P)

And thankfully I don't think there'll ever be any endurance as bad as the one in BB4 where they pelted Jun, Alison, and Robert with ice. >.< that sounded like it HURT. Same with that one where they put them in a cage next to each other. (Though BB6 DID have the pressure cooker....I'd go crazy if I were holding that button for eight hours and how long did they hold it for? O.o)

And of course it's only week one. In Week 2...Jessie could be sent packing easily, but everything has to go right. Non-athlete wins usually-question-oriented HoH (usually Majority Rules since they play that when they have a lotta houseguests), puts up two non-Jessie athletes, if they get the option, select the third athlete, pray Jessie doesn't get picked. Veto winner uses it and removes one athlete...puts up Jessie and boom. This is the part of the game where being annoying can get you up on the block. Just cause he's beneficial to the athletes now doesn't mean that he wouldn't be the number one target.

Brian or Jessica shoulda been in there. Brian never got a chance to play and he probably woulda been a big threat if he wouldn't have already had a target the size of Jessie on his back. Cowboy woulda wound up making like final 3-5 and booted like Renny or Sheila.

I'm definitely rooting for Lydia. Reminds me of Maggie.

I hated Maggie's crew, she was the only one tolerable. BB6 was overall, a massive joke.

Jessie's arrogance will get him put out by Week 4.

Brian played too hard too early, that was his mistake, if he got back in the house, he'd be an instant target, simply because people know he's smart. Cowboy only made the Final Two because he wasn't a threat, and everyone knew if they took him they'd win. He didn't do anything the entire game.

The biggest BB Robbery to me is Season 3, Danielle should've won hands down, she was the best player the game has seen aside from Will.
