eh i dont like the coaching idea. Will still watch cause its one of my favorite shows!

Yeah I hate the coach thing but last night was sure interesting. Although it once again points out to me the fact that BB has never explained why Evil Dick was allowed to get away with what he did his first time on the show.

Last night they kicked a contestant off for his behavior. Yes he was yelling at another contestant "hit me" and trying to provoke something and he even semi headbutted the guy at the end of it but you could hear the BB producer tell him to come to the back room BEFORE there was any actual contact that we saw.

Evil Dick was allowed to multiple times use very offensive language, berate, verbally intimidate and more than once dumped a drink on the head of a female participant without being warned(to our knowledge) let alone kicked off.

I was happy with the decision last night but I've never been happy that they didn't boot Dick.

Crazy move from Shane tonight. I thought it would have been even crazier if he put Ian up.

Early but this might be my least favorite season ever. First off I hated the idea of ex players being coaches, the only thing worse, would be to let them back in the game, so of course they did. The players are way too familiar with the game now and their attempts at mixing it up have failed miserably. when one of the coaches is telling players in week 2 that she thinks the coaches will end up playing in the game, you know your "big twist" didn't work.

I hate Boogie, I like Janelle but have seen her play too much, I don't like Dan much this time around and I like Britney but I've seen too much of her on camera ripping on all the other players in the diary room, that's what she did the first time around we've seen it before.

Ian is such a big fan of the show he's taking all the punishments and then saying he's doing it to make everyone like having him around. Just annoying and he keeps insisting he's throwing contests when he appears to just not be any good.

the ditzy blonde is the only character on the show I like, she's hilarious because of all the dumb things she says.

The biggest problem I have this year is they're all so familiar with the game they're playing too much, there's almost no interaction we see in the house that's not game strategy related.

Still watching but since they voted off Ashley the show sucks. She was hilarious, now it's just which houseguest is pissed off crying etc.

I think I want Frank to win just so we can have Sid Vicious there for the announcement.

I dont know what to think about Ian i go back and fourth. I think he needs to be responsible for his moves and not be such a ***** its a game. It seems like he knows how to play all sides of the house but once he voted Mike out he dug his own grave.

I think he's hilarious to watch, he's obviously young and immature but he's got this diary room persona and then his real persona. His argument with Frank was tv gold, talking tough from a distance adn then flipping Frank off over and over when he was walking away and couldn't see him.

He has this hilarious way of stomping around the house too when he's agitated. I honestly think without Britney he's in huge trouble, she's the one that kept him from doing himself in.

Totally agree Dan and Brit helped him come a long way. He also had Frank and Mike so i guess hes good with people. I am surprised people didnt find out he was playing both sides earlier. If he hadnt of talked to mike when mike got ecicted i always wonder if Frank wouldve known Ian was aganst him.

Dan has always annoyed me. I get that the diary things are supposed to be you talking about your game but he just is so full of himself. The whole issue I have with this season is people are playing the game so hard. It's like they all are playing the George Costanza do the opposite approach this year. I should get Dan out, so I align with Dan instead. It's working great for Dan though.

I also to be honest never liked that they saved Frank when they brought the coaches into the game. They keep saying he has 9 lives but basically the producers of the show saved him with that "reset".

I guess we learned why Ian is the way he is last night, either OCD or ADHD which explains a lot of his constant stomping around.

I didn't know there was a Big Brother thread!!!

Gotta admire Dan's game, but he might be overplaying it with some many final 2 deals. I'm thinking the big players all eventually get blown up and someone flying under the radar (maybe a Danielle) takes it.

I have never really watched the "live" feeds on showtime, but tonight I happened to stumble on it and wow, soo interesting..

First they were talking about how much they all hated Frank and how apparently he was really gross (didn't ever wear deodorant smelled really bad all the time, made inappropriate comments to danielle)

Then they were talking the casting process and apparently they all knew each other before the show.. They would do multiple screen tests and spend days at a time with each other.. Danielle was saying how she was pissed when one of her favorite people did not make the cut and how she deserved to be on the show...

I always thought they were complete strangers and had never met...

Also, Ian swears like a sailor which is funny.. in the 30 minutes or so that I watched I think he said the F-bomb about 40 times...

Finally in my favorite moment, Danielle was tryign to see if it was possible for her to go down on herself, and trued repeatedly which was funny as hell...

In game talk, Dan and Danielle were having a Pow Wow.. I am now convinced Danielle would take Dan to the end no doubt, and I believe Dan would take Danielle.. My gut tells me those will be the final two this year..

All and all very interesting indeed

Yeah I read that somewhere before that they sort of screen test players together to see how they interact. Apparently one of the early seasons they felt the interaction was so bad it was boring and they decided to start testing them before putting them in the house to see how things might go.

Very few reality shows are actually real. I've heard even on Survivor they give "hints" to certain players to try and encourage big game moves.

Dan is one evil guy. I can't see him winning if he is in the final two. Shane and Danielle are idiots. They should of known they can't trust Dan.

I think Dan made a bad move he couldve beaten Shane much easier than Ian or Daniell.

Yeah the only thing I can think is Dan knows he has no chance of winning a jury vote so his goal is come in 2nd and get the runnerup?

In that scenario he might think Shane can beat him in a contest in the final 3 so he doesn't make the finals, but doesn't think Ian or Danielle can.

Honestly Ian has enemies on the jury too, Danielle might not be as much of a lock for a vote as we think because people hate voting for someone they think was carried.

That was a brutal move though I can't believe Danielle fell for it and it appears she's falling for Dan's excuse, I'm your coach I'm getting you to the final 2.

I actually liked the finale and I think the right player won no matter what Janelle said about it would be a travesty if Dan didn't win.

Would love to know what Janelle meant about "all of Danielle's lies."

Felt a bit sorry for Ian he clearly is socially naive you could see the look on his face when they played the clip of Ashley's favorite moment being her ice cream date with Frank. He clearly was disappointed like he actually thought he had a shot with her. But then he's got plenty of money to console himself with.

In the end I decided I liked him, has some very annoying quirks but nice kid.

I completely changed my opinion of Dan from when he played before. I get it's a game but it's way too easy for him lie and backstab he kept saying this was the way I had to play this time I didn't want to I had to. It seemed more like he was being himself this time and acting the first time? Still pretty remarkable to get that far.

I still don't like bringing back old players unless it's a total cast of former players but I agree I wound up really enjoying this season.

I think someone needs to give ashley her own reality show she's absolutely hilarious.
