I think I am at that stage now where I feel BB3 has went past its sale by date. Since there are fewer contestants now, the house is a shadow of its former self. Tim has to bug Alex all day complimenting him, while Jonny has practically been around Kate 24/7, not allowing her air to breathe. I don't even know where Jade is at. I am not looking forward to tonight's task. Afterwards is so predictable. If Kate or Jonny get the message, they will spend 5 hours tonight lamenting on "Me Maam", while if it's Alex or Tim, Tim will be crying about wanting home. Jade will probably just go between the 2 groups annoying them.
Does anyone think the house is now boring?
If I remember correctly - it was the same last year ...
towards the end we had helen/paul in one camp
betty/dean in the other - with Brian flitting around between the 2
Once Paul left .. leaving the 4 - it was also pretty boring
until the final night. Maybe BB should alter the `dynamics` of the last 2 weeks??

Just a thought but an idea to 'entertain' both housemates and the viewers would be to allow the HM's to view some edited highlights of earlier in the series, this might provoke some debate and self evaluation among the HM's.
I know this wont happen but god almighty something needs to, the tasks so far have been utterly juvenile. Also what about putting in a roulette table and giving them say £1k each and let them gamble away, winner keeps the cash? just some idel thoughts!
I must admit this series does seem to be lasting a lot longer than the other two.
I can’t speak for anyone else but the ‘heaven and hell’ scenario did nothing for me, perhaps it would have been better if it had been made clear it was for, say, three weeks, all the HM’s names were put into a hat and that decided where people were to spend the week.
At least that way the group would have had more of a chance to interact......dunno!

I concur. I've always empathasised (?) with the housemates & positivitely hated the bars. This is a series about human interaction & viewers wish to see people interact.
I cannot fathom why putting a physical barrier up & then oppressing one half of the house to the extent that they adjust their sleep patterens so they are different from the rich side was thought to be a good idea.
True the barrier gave us some good tv moments, but they were moments & the barrier was up for 28 days. I'm sure that there were otherways of creating conflict within the group that would have been better & would have allowed the producers more flexibilitiy in tasks etc.
was it boring this afternoon when apparently Jonny removed Jades bikini bottoms without her consent. What a jolly geordie.....can you not be prosecuted for doing things like that ?
I haven't got E4 but if Alex removed the towel then yes that was well out of order as well. It's one thing to flash of your own free will but quite another to have your clothing forcibly removed, no matter how much fun it's done in, especially with 50 cameras on you.

Unfortunately it is true - Jonny, Kate and Jade went into the pool. Within 5 minutes Jonny had taken off Jade's bikini bottoms (although the camera was mainly on the chickens).
Perhaps they are thinking of showing this *quality* snippet on Sunday's analytical program.
I think you're right about there being a split, which is all the more reason to get Tim out ASAP.
Alex has shown many a time that he can have a good time with Kate, Jonny and Jade, but only when he hasn't got someone poisoning his mind against them.
With Tim out of the way, we could have a fun last week.

The show is as boring as the producers make it.
Now lets face facts here folks, the producers this year have totally cocked up the activity in the house, which will be highlighted tonight with the amazing "live task" anti-climax.
Not once have the HM's been given something demanding to acheive whilst in there, which has led to lots of sitting around and doing nothing.
lets not blame them, they are just bored stupid and are also probably wondering what the hell is going on with the lack of activities.
Just a thought.

I'm not a prude honestly but this is the piece from the BB website, it's all I've got to go on
I was disgusted with the last bit because (and it doesn't matter which of the HMs you support) where do you draw the line? If that was your daughter/girlfriend on show would you still think it was OK? How much does a cheeky grin excuse?

Jonny is systematically shooting himself in the foot, now that the group is much smaller he is feeling more confident and targeting the weaker member...jade!
it reminds me of school pranks, only it doesnt work in the adult world.
as a geordie I would like to reassure people that this is not 'geordie' humour, I do know firemen and this is more likely the source of the crass attemps at humour.

I agree with what you have said. Let's hope the GBP see him for what he really is.
I also agree with you on 'not geordie humour' as I have know a few geordies (real ones from Newcastle :O) in my past and they were/are nothing like Jonny. Hubby's best mate is from Newcastle and he's a brilliant, funny guy, total opposite of Jonny.

Who was it who ripped the bikini off Jade a few weeks ago when the divide was up, Alex or PJ. If you castigate one HM then you must castigate those who also indulge in such behavior.

I wonder what 'oor Joanne, me mam, me dad and me gran' think of his capers. If I had been Jade I would have slapped him, I can't stand that sort of 'humour'.

On the subject of the lameness of the tasks this year, I saw a very funny post on another message board about ideas to spice things up in the house (source: this thread from the Straight Dope Message Board). It was referring to the US version of Big Brother, but the ideas are still good (NB "hamsters" is how they refer to the housemates). My favourite suggestions:
- Repeat a day, "Groundhog Day" style. During the play of a game, the hamsters make significant changes to the layout of the house and garden. The next day, everything is back the way it was, and the game is played again exactly the same.
- For two days, Big Brother falls silent. No responses at all, no matter what the hamsters do, even during what should have been a nomination period. Big Brother returns with no explanation of what happened, acting as though the missing days never happened.
- Control the clocks so the morning goes incredibly fast, but the afternoon drags on forever
- Instead of the nice, polite good-bye walk, four masked bodybuilder types rush in, grab the evictee and drag him out, screaming the entire time.
- Horrible smells emanating from the walls.
- Tell the hamsters that one of them is a plant, a la "The Mole." Then don't have a plant.
I wish the guy who thought these up was on the BB3 production team.

Hi again Mr O.
Just found this posting and thought I should clarify. It was the time when PJ, Jonny and Jade were in the pool, all together.
Jade's bikini was taken off her by Jonny. Minutes later, both Jonny and PJ took off their trunks too. I was not amusing by Jonny who went up behind Jade and got far too close to her in that kind of situation (I think by this time she had retrieved the bikini) - but even so, 2 nekkid men in the pool with Jade.
In my books that is Not Acceptable.
I think the house is more boring at the moment - I suppose it is bound to be with so few people left. I'm sure it will get better when Tim goes. Alex won't be led astray into whining and will join in with Kate, Johnny and Jade, instead of feeling he has to be loyal to Tim. I must admit I watch less BB now, though, as I'm always on the forum as It is more interesting and amusing.
Lets hope they introduce some amusing tasks for the housemates. Perhaps they can have pens and paper once the last housemate has been nominated, as they will no longer be able to influence nominations. This should help them be able to make up better games especially if they havea drink in their hand!

Since that awful nominations task, I've only followed BB on the forums, once on E4 when someone started a thread about Kate & Alex bitching and tonight's task. I think BB screwed up big time by messing about with a successful format too much, the blatant coaching of HM's and one sided write-ups/edits really haven't helped either. But I'll still tune in for Jade's eviction, the final and if anyone posts "Turn on quick! They're taking turns to slap Jade a wet towel!"

I agree that something needs to happen to stop it petering out. Damp squib springs to mind. I started a thread 'Out of the Box' with a couple of ideas and I think if we all come up with decent ones it wouldn't surprise me to see one turn into reality.
They (the producers) must read these forums and are thus aware of the general level of disappointment that we, the fans, viewers, voters and thus revenue stream, are feeling.
If they're not looking for something to freshen it up - they should be.
