It is strange BB has been on for years , so the newbies should have seen past seasons. They should get rid of the best players as soon as they can but they seem to get rid of someone because they don't like them, actually I find it hard to like most of them.
When the season is new it is hard to tell who the best players are but look at Dr. Will, Rachel and Dick no one voted them out and they went on to win.

I was a Dani fan in that season, would like to see what she can do without her Daddy in the house.

I really look for Jordon to win it all again, she's just so darn cute and sweet nobody will try to take her out until its too late and we see how well that worked for Kevin and Natalie...

My take on ED...I think the season he won it was geared to him winning...I think this one is for a Jordon being crowned the first two time winner and his bullying techniques would not have went over with this bunch so what gameplay would he really have had...so he quit..

That's true...this is the first time Danielle will be on her own. In their season, ED overshadowed her, and what wasn't overshadowed was all tied up in bed with what's-his-name. We didn't get to know her at all. My opinion of her is still neutral, since we didn't get to see her at all so far before she was neutralized by the golden key.

I look for Cassi and Shelly to be targeted next...I think they'll see Cassi as a threat. And that stinks, because she is my stand-out favorite so far.

I am not sad for Dick to leave. Obviously, no ill will, but he is painful to watch. He was so awful to that one girl in his first season and of course, none of that made it to the show. Some of the things he said to that woman would have landed him in jail in the real world. He made disgusting threats towards her. I don't care if it is a game, that was really crossing a line.

Also, I felt really bad for Danielle when Julie put her on the spot like that. It WAS awkward and if she was acting, she's a great actress.

I don't think of Dick as a quitter he likes to be in the limelight too much. I really do think something happened outside perhaps with his girlfriend. Julie didn't say he had been evicted by the producers. We did see someone evicted one time and they didn't try to conceal it.

one thing I would like to see is the have nots be tied to the hoh, I realize that throwing comps is a legit gameplan but I think choosing that needs to come with consequenses since the hoh always ends up a target

Love Big Brother! I'm trying to stay off of the message boards, too. My husband and I both watch.

I'd really like to see Dominic go this time. I think Adam wants to play with the vets now.

Shelly is in a good place right now, and so are Kalia and Lawan. Their names aren't coming out of anyone's mouths at all, as far as "being a threat" is concerned. I think Cassi dodged a bullet so far, but there's a lot left in this week.

The veterans' only flaw, so far, is that it seems as though they are playing "together," yet all doing their own things as well. They're all making deals with too many people at the same time, and it's going to bite them sooner or later.

I am a big brother addict, but I am a spoiler girl (I promise not to spoil on this thread though) - I actually prefer keeping up with the feeds and don't enjoy the shows that much - too much editing to tell the stories CBS wants to tell.

If you watch both, most of the time when you see the shows you end up saying "that's now how that went down!" I just love the human spectacle - locked in a house with nothing to do, constantly being maniuplated by their fellow housemates and by BB producers. There's nothing better.

As of right now, I'm rooting for Dani and Dominic. I like Jeff/Jordan (loved Jeff as underdog in their first season). I like Brendan, but hate how he is with Rachel and just don't like Rachel at all - they are very badly matched.

I think Dick is ICK (and am glad he's gone - for whatever reason), and I wasn't a fan of Dani on the original season, but she is much less whiny/more mature this time around, and I think she can be a real player this time (vs. riding on daddy's coattails like last time).

In general, so far the newbies annoy me less than the houseguests have for several seasons. Maybe by only having to find 8 new folks, they've stumbled on some better game players than in the recent past. Time will tell.....

It's KILLING me to not try to keep up with live feed updates and conversations on boards with spoilers!!! The only thing keeping me out of it is this thread, right here. If I didn't have people to talk to about this show I'd be lost...

I'm addicted too! Danielle is my fave. I also think she got robbed by ed winning. I don't think they are necessarily estranged in the sense of talking but more location

Im glad Keith left. The way he freaked out about people having conspiracies did it for him. He came off to strong and cocky.

Brendan and Rachel, ugh, never seen two more annoying people. Her laughed is too much alone but the way he tried to control her is even worse!

I'd actually like to see Brendon leave first this season, I'd like to see Rachel without him controlling her every move..

Me too! To me he is FAR more annoying than she is, so far. At least by what they're showing on TV. He almost comes off as emotionally abusive at times.

I keep up with the live feeds and spoilers too, so I will try to watch what I post here. I agree they do so much editing and the show is not the real deal.

I can't stand Rachel or Brendon. Rachel is so catty and really is a mean girl. Brendon is trying to control her and their fights are ridiculous.

I'm hoping a newbie wins. I don't dislike anyone on the show at the moment except Brenchel. I hope they are the next target.

I think Brendon and Rachel will be a target the second a veteran doesn't win. At least I hope so!
