The problem I have with it was illustrated by Kara being targeted only because she was Dan's player. It robs the players of their own game.

If you say so. I have very little recollection of past BB season. If Survivor is my "filet mignon" then BB is little more than bubble gum.

Being a few days away from the Olympics, I have to object at calling Dan, Boogie and Janelle good competitors. They are all poor athletes, only winning because the BB challenges are mostly mickey mouse competitions.

I serioulsy doubt that viewers watch for the competitions. If they do then I wonder what they expect from them. Take the burglar quizz; how dumb was that? The social game is the only game worth watching.
