I am a fan, although I think it’s a guilty pleasure. I’m usually so offended by much of TV and pop culture then I find myself watching and reading posts on BB. Ohhhhh…Just wondring if I am the only one watching Big brother this season…
and I am not interested in any negative opinions, just fellow fans please

Bit of a closet BB fan (UK variety)
I guess it is interesting to see how people carry on. Danger is that one becomes Judgmental and fails to pay enough attention to the plank in ones own eye. Voyerism - I guess - can’t be good
I see your point. I don’t think I’ve become judgemental yet, but will keep a closer watch on myself. Thank you.
When I do succumb - something of a guilty pleasure - I guess I like to look at it from the point of view of seeing the effects of virtue and the effects of sin in microcosm. The interesting dimension to it is that you kind of have a window into peoples internal forum (the diary room) as well as the external forum.
Yes, that is what I enjoy as well.
So - for example - Craig (are we talking the UK version here??) is eaten up by Jealousy. Constantly talking about people behind their backs and stirring (telling Mekosi about the one ungaurded comment that Eugene has let slip virtually since entering the BB house).
Sorry, I am in Canada, so I am watching the US version.
That Craig is real poison (he said unjudgementally…)
All you have to do is change your statement to “that Craig is doing some really nasty things” and you jump from judging the person to judging the action.

Why do you think it is a guilty pleasure?I am a fan, although I think it’s a guilty pleasure. I’m usually so offended by much of TV and pop culture then I find myself watching and reading posts on BB. Ohhhhh…
But I am watching again this year and like Kaysar so far, I hope he comes back on Thursday!!
It’s just so bad!!
I wouldn’t necessarily want my kids to watch it unless they were old enough to use it as a lesson in virtue. I think you have a good solution to that - judge the behavior right??
It’s just so bad!!
Allowing kids to watch it is a totally different issue. When and if I have children, I will do alot of things differently. But for now, hubby and I enjoy watching reality shows together. Suprisingly, we find that we learn alot.
I have to admit to becoming judgemental at times - I need to practice more charity!!
And I think we have to be careful about becoming scrupulous. If a person on a show does something terrible, I don’t see a problem with bluting out " you are so evil!". But I know that I don’t actually mean this. I don’t mean that back in their real life that they are evil and are going to Hell, lol.
Anyway - you know that Eric I guess is the least favorite houseguest according to the CBS poll? Surprising but you never know, he is a firefighter and there is something noble about that so we may be surprised!
Being a firefighter and a parent, he should be one of the favorites. Too bad he was sort of a bully in the house . I mean, what is with telling everyone that lights out is 11:30pm??? They are on a vacation, let them stay up all night if they want…geeez.
It’s on tonight and they will show who won the veto…
I am looking forward to it

No…
I’m savvy (or just cynical) enough to know it’s not necessarily “reality” but I think I like some of them because they are similar to documentaries which I really like.

I read from the feeds that Kaysar made a deal with Jen for HOH! What??? I couldn’t believe that, I haven’t seen yet who was nominated but I’m almost sure that it’s not who Kaysar thinks it will be?
