chuckling..................YOU are bashing us for bashing the show......welcome to the bashers club...
Ummm.....you jsut started watching the show and are juddging the members here?
I've been watching the show since the second show of seaon one.......and have seen it go from a healthy learning show for the viewers to one of a soap opera/Jerry Springer format.
Season one was all about bondng, learning, growing, etc with out the many threats by the LC's, without the screamig of the LC's, without the lies from just about all the housemates, without the abckstabbing/gossip from the housemates, etc.
The viewers from season one knew what the goals were....new where each housemate stood with out said housemate revealing a little bit of her self when it was convient.
From the LC's we saw: compassion, sterness (NOT screaming), we saw them interact more with all the ladies (bonding exercises etc), we saw assignments that made sense and were clearly spelled out, etc etc etc.
We saw the show use first rate professionals, links given by the professionals to the viewers to better themselves, etc.
So, before you BASH us members for our words, you might want to find out what the past seasons were like and then maybe you'll understand why the long standing viewers are upset.
Edited to add examples of season one:
PJ-Mormon One of her goals was to decide if she wished to stay Mormon or not. We, the viewers, got to see and learn about the diffeent religions as she explored that goal.
Mo-60plus One of her goals: stand up comdeian. We saw her and learned what the process is to become a stand up comedian...again with links for any viewer that wanted more info.
Christine-husband died after only three months of amrriage. her goal was to live life after finding her husband dead on the bathroom floor after only three months of marriage. Again, professionals were there to help and links for the viewers. (BTW: For the ones that watched Christine transform she has since married)...
Not all were successful in season one and they did gossip but nothing like the Springer format of this season.
Season one, they ahd many group bonding assignments of which most times the LC's were there with the housemates and the excercise would be discussed either at the time of it or next day in group.
Maybe this post will help you to understand why some of us are so upset with this season't format.....to us it is NOT a learning experience type of show but (to me anyhow) it is a soap opera springer type of show.
