Is anyone else having a really hard time watching?

Typically, there is no way that I will miss an episode... This season, while I have been watching, I am not watching every episode, and I even have BBAD, and I only watch that a few times a week as well.
I can't decide why I can't get into it... Maybe it was the whole couple thing to start. Or maybe it is because everyone in this house seems to not have a clue how to play the game. They lie, they get caught in the lie, they fight. Day in day out. I think I'm just tired of all of it.
So, am I the only one that finds watching this season as tedious and almost boring? I could write the script for this thing. Ugh...

I still love it! I do have to admit that I am not as smitten with it as I have been in the past but, then again, last week's eviction, non-eviction had me cheering and squealing like a little girl on Christmas over her new Barbies! LOL!
I just love the show. No matter what they do. It is one of those shows I will probably always love!
I am sorry you aren't as into this season. Maybe the summer one will bring your more enjoyment!

I too was squeeling! My brother in law came downstairs to see what was going on. I loved it. I think it was a good move for drama. I think I will always love this show, but last season I did stop watching it. First time I stopped watching since I started watching. Hope it never happens again.

LOL! My hubby had to keep telling me to calm down! All the while, he was laughing at me for being so excited!
And, you better not stop watching! LOL! Shame on you for giving up on it ever! LOL!
Seriously though...why did you stop watching? Was it because of ED and his rampages? Eric as America's Player? Jen and her vanity? Danielle and her whiny voice? Or, another reason?

I've been having a hard time this season as well. The constant bickering had by all is just ummmm how should we say it sad and pathetic. They have all thrown themselves under the bus at one point in the game. Some more than others. With the constant lieing and being caught sheesh. You would think that they know how to play the game by now. Haven't they seen the other seasons? Oh oh and what about the dirty laundry and indulging others of some of the things that has happened in your life. Do these houseguests realise that the world is watching them do this. I wonder what their parents friends and family are going to say to some of them when they get out of the house and go back to a normal life.

LOL I'm not alone! Thank you so much! You said everything that I have been thinking! I mean yes, Natalie is a bit much, but if it had just been her, I think I could have handled it. But they all just seem to not care what they say or what they do. Seriously, its not like this is the first season of the show. They all say they have watched prior seasons, but boy they sure don't act like they are playing the game.

HAHA no they are not playing the game at all. The constant bickering is sure getting to me. Specially at the beginning oh god the whining was just herendious. Like come on your are on national television and you are talking like that. Geez. Get some lives already. I was quite in shock last night with the show itself. Was glad to see the lieing two faced Matt to leave. Thank god he's gone. Don't understand why all the crying. It's just a game. As he once said. James threw himself under the bus by going against Nat. If she knew and didn't trust James she would of stayed up there all night. But I could understand why James outlasted everyone. Good for him on that part.

Yeah, they are clueless on how to play but I like it better than last season. Last season was the first time I stopped watching it. Thanks to ED and some of his horrendous actions and comments I stopped watching. Once in a while I would look on the boards but so many people were idolizing his behavior that I had to stop that as well.

This is the first time I've gotten after dark. I think when I can watch after dark and the links and read the updates I can keep up with what's actually going on compared to what is on the show. I'm actually glad I got after dark this year. Wish I had it before.

I think it's b/c they really don't seem to have a clue past this week. They only think what can I do this week and not how can I stay until the end?
I definitely feel different this season. I hear spoilers and I don't care. I watch but I'm fast forwarding through waiting for some drama or the end. I'm usually thinking of what I'm gonna watch next!
The only episode that is exciting is Wed b/c that is the only thing we don't know until it happens is who will go home.

I have never been able to get into the reality shows, except for American Idol, so sorry I really can't say how bad the show is doing this year.

I agree with you I am having trouble getting into this season. I am disappointed because I love Big Brother and I was anticipating the show's return. In the past seasons i would never miss an episode. This season is just boring and the contestants really don't know how to play the game or keep a secret. I don't think this season had a good twist either. I don't like the couple's idea because it totally throws off the alliances people are able to make because they have to keep their partner informed. I think my favorite season so far is still Season 7.
