I'm with you Snidget. It isn't as much fun when they already know each other going into the game. I honestly thought BB would be good, but it's not because they have relationships outside of the house and know, or at least they think they know, how everyone will act. The same was true for Survivor.
But what is making BB all stars worse than Survivor all stars is that these people are always trying to make "good TV".

I didn't consider the show boring at first, but hearing the same thing over and over does get boring. How many food fights or drunken hot tubs parties do we need? Every week it really is the same thing. Will/Boogie will beat Jani's brain to a pulp until she gives in to what they want, Danielle will take turns siding with both people nominated and get everyone to support one person and then switch to the other person. They always have to "mix it up" to make good TV. But it gets old. I'm at the point where I just want to watch the show on Thursday to see who is evicted and who becomes HOH. I don't care about all the crap in between because it changes every hour, mostly for no good reason. Take this week for example when Jani was badgered to near death to nominate Marcellas while everyone swore they only wanted to scare him. Whoever didn't expect Will/Boogie/James to go against that deal hasn't been watching the show. But Will they vote him out? Who knows because they'll change their minds 20 times before Thursday. Everyone is quick to say the BB6 can't make up their minds (and they can't) are doing the same thing.

What can save this show is something shocking happening that hasn't been talked about for weeks. Anyone betraying Jani won't cut it. We've heard that a zillion times already. George kicking out Danielle or Danielle/James kicking out each other might do it, but I don't expect either to happen.

I had to get that off my chest.
