Ya, and if the coaches start right away it immediately becomes all stars v fans at the start (which it probably will anyway)

I wish they would just do another all stars season

the first one was arguably the best season

Did they do fan balloting for the first all star?

Maybe do a web poll to pick the players or maybe a rejects season. Take the first and second people voted off during the revious seasons.

I don't think it will be coaches vs newbies when the coaches enter the game. If Frank stays in the game, I think him and Boogie will be an alliance. Same with Britney & Shane

I wish they would stop all lame gimmicks and get back to basics - 14 complete strangers who are fighting it out for $500,000.

The problem is when they bring in 14 strangers you usually get a worthless cast, where the great majority of the players will be completely useless, and all the interesting players capable of making moves are gone right off the bat.

Just look at this season, of the new players how many of them are actually interesting on their own right? Somewhere around 3-4, then the rest a complete waste of time.

Pretty sure that's because the producer's are rigging the game for the veterans. They bring in a bunch of worthless people for them to pick off instead of actual competition so they don't get picked off early in the game. Since BB has let back past houseguests to compete with newbies, the quality of the cast has dropped noticeably.

The thread title says point blank that there are spoilers and the show aired last night.

Why dont you start a Big Brother non spoiler thread if you don't want to read spoilers in a Big Brother spoilers thread.

Look through the thread, anything that hasn't aired, people have been using spoiler tags. And yah the episode aired last night but obviously the HoH winner wasn't shown.

Oh well, it's only Big Brother.

It only makes sense that if you are posting stuff that hasn't actually aired on the show that you would use the spoiler tags. It takes all of two seconds and for the most part that's what people have been doing.

I can live with knowing Danielle won (I'm actually very surprised she could win anything) but given the history of this thread I've always come in knowing that the spoilers would be hidden. Going on the internet and finding out who won and placing it right into a thread where most of us are watching only the televised show is pretty dumb regardless of the thread title. I expect to see spoilers in a movie thread as people have seen it and are discussing it but none of us (outside of the people getting the 24/7 feed) have had a chance to witness the competition and you basically spoiled that.

Yup, same with me. I'm not going to flip a lid over it, but coming in this morning to see that post was a bit of a piss off.

Honestly I don't believe they strive to bring in useless people. They do have criteria in that they always bring in a token gay person, colored person, elderly person, model, etc but I don't think they are looking for worthless people. You would be surprised how many useless people can get by an interview process looking like an all-star hire. On TV we know what's going on and who's working with who but in the house nobody really knows even if their closest ally is going to stab them in the back. I think the game is a lot harder than it looks from our point of view and the reason there aren't more all-stars is that it's hard to find out from an inerview who's going to crack in the house and who can handle the stress and pressure as you never really know that until the person is on the block.

I didn't go on the internet to read who won. They aired it on BB After Dark. I don't think I need to make a new thread for BB After Dark do I?
