"Soulmates Twist" |
For it or against it? Does it wreck the integrity of the game by forcing alliances? Or Does it strengthen the gameplay due to an inherent numbers thing?I can see both sides, obviously, as noted above. I didn't steal those sentences from anywhere.  Yet I can't help but wonder "why?" and "how long?". How are the producers hoping to make up for the deficit of participants as it correlates to the amount of time the show will be airing? At a normal pace, evicting one couple a week, this show would be done in 6 weeks. There's still 8 more weeks to go. (AND we've already got an accelerated 1st eviction.) Presuming that the producers knew that the couples twist wouldn't be able to last the projected 14 week run... Why did they decide to go ahead with it? Do we have to look forward to another "vote someone back in" twist? Are the remaining HGs gonna get "divorced" in a couple weeks? What are some of your thoughts? Anyone?

2. "RE: Soulmates Twist" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-13-08 AT 09:45 AM (EST)What Estee said. However, that being said, it's a twist on a show with limited possibilities for twists, so it's worth a try. As to the Why? The forced coupling of people whose profiles indicate that they are compatible, and making them sleep with each other? Alone, with only some cameras that they sorta forget are there? There's going to be a lot of footage that they will have edit heavily to qualify for prime time TV. And a lot of clips that the camera people and editors will be taking home with them. And a clip population explosion of X-rated clips on U-Tube sites. This is a little off subject, but I want to see what's between Julie's legs. Aside from my usual interest in such things, there is the burning question, "is it just a blank, Barbie Doll spot, or not?" My private theory is that that is where the battery recharger cord plugs in. Either that, or that is where the flash memory stick is inserted.

Yeah, both Sheila and Adam could have handled that situation better, but boy was that entertaining watching her flip out and being so immature and shallow. Oh, the drama! Yeah, your partners in the game/house but nobody is forcing you to marry and start a life together! I knew this soul mate thing would be extremeley cheesy...I am hooked. Already.

10. "RE: Soulmates Twist" |
I'm on the fence about the soulmate thing. If it was done seriously with all true singles being matched with true potential soul mates, it could have been a lot of fun to see whether sparks ignite or not.However, I would HATE the idea of being forced to share a bed with a complete stranger who was a smoker (as I am a non-smoker). That is just cruel and unusual punishment. I do think the 2 40-somethings on the show are about equally nasty (both in personality and looks) and I find it humorous they hate each other. I feel sorry for the girl with the cheating former ex. Although, it would be pretty cool if they did work things out. 12 years is a long time to have a relationship, though cheating is a rough thing to get past. I cannot stand that BB gives certain people an unfair advantage over others. The RL boyfriend/girlfriend is just not fair to the strangers in the house. Either everyone should have a RL partner in the house or none of them should have. I'm keeping an open mind this season, after what became an unwatchable season last summer due to the extreme nastiness & vulgarity that was allowed. As long as there are no ##### wannabes in the house, I will be happy. And is it just me or did most of the HGs look MUCH BETTER in their photos than they did on T.V.? The cuteness/hotness ratio went way down in my eyes when they were live.  Agman’s Artistry

And is it just me or did most of the HGs look MUCH BETTER in their photos than they did on T.V.? The cuteness/hotness ratio went way down in my eyes when they were live. Agreed! Natalie was especially a disappointment for me.

I feel sorry for the girl with the cheating former ex. Although, it would be pretty cool if they did work things out. 12 years is a long time to have a relationship, though cheating is a rough thing to get past.I kinda do as well. Feel bad for her that is. What made me a little less worried about her was when she said..."He cheated on me with a girl he didn't even know. Didn't even know!" Well, honey, I hate to break it to you but I can guarantee it would be much worse (and even harder to work through) if the girl was someone he did know. Even worse if you knew her too. So count your blessings that it was just some "nameless" chick who he didn't care about. The alternative is much worse. And is it just me or did most of the HGs look MUCH BETTER in their photos than they did on T.V.? The cuteness/hotness ratio went way down in my eyes when they were live.
Hallalujah, sister! I've already given up on my crush with Josh. His purse fell out when he opened his mouth and that is sooo not my type. Natalie is downright creepy looking and did anyone notice Matt's face during the HOH? Talk about bitter and bloated heads.

12. "Further Logic" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-13-08 AT 03:19 PM (EST)Given all of the above, particularly with the soulmate twist and paired action - and given all else that will be airing on the calendar - a 6-week show makes a big splash and a quick exit.  Caged by Snidget
(*cannonball splash*) (eta) From zap2it: FOX increased its lead at 9 p.m. as "Idol" jumped to 17.7/26. "The Biggest Loser" ticked up to 4.9/7 to move NBC ahead of CBS and the premiere of "Big Brother 9," 4.6/7.

26. "RE: Failed Logic" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-15-08 AT 00:43 AM (EST)(*sigh*) I know. And the writers' strike is over on top of it all, so there goes the supposed rationale of this winter/spring edition of BB. Me? I'd go for the quick 6 or 8, duck the schedule, and make a big splash as a prelude to summer. But the 24/7 feeds are a money spinner. What can you say. Ok, it goes three months. What's the over/under on the number of schedule changes we'll see with BB bumping up against AI, BL, and the other BB (*dribble dribble*)...?

Well I guess we saw last night that the coupling thing is NOT fair...one person's actions totally screwed the other partner last night. If I were Sharon I would be soooo upset with CBS...not only did she get stuck with her ex-boyfriend (who cheated on her) in the house but then she gets paired off with him, and again he messes up and gets them evicted. It's too bad for her, she really got jipped. I guess that now that nominations, and POV are coming into play that will make things a bit more fair for the couples...last night's flat out eviction was just bizarre to me.

Of course when they evict two people at a time and one couple immediately, this will be a much shorter Big Brother than usual. One result is that people who are paying for a live feed will get even less for their money than in previous seasons.
