BB8 Sucked.
Oak
16-09-2007
I was a very active poster in this forum during BB6 and BB All Stars but no so during this season. I think BB8 has sucked big time and was rigged for Dick and Daniele from the start. These two were never estranged (as confirmed by Dick's son) and they auditioned for BB6 together (remember the pairs twist?). There's a video on youtube where Dick and Daniele are discussing that they were screwed out of being on BB6.

The introduction of America's Player this season benefitted the Donatos more than any of the other HGs. Dick would have been evicted the week he was up for eviction against Dustin but Eric was given his orders as America's Player to get Dustin evicted and he did. The game changed from that week and 'America' handed the game to the Donatos.

To make things worse after Zach was evicted last thursday Dick and Daniele were bragging about the fact that they were a 'pair' from the start and no one found out or evicted them. They knew they would be in the house together before they even went in and were never enemies. Nice way to lie CBS.

Does anyone else find it strange that the BB8 House Guests have been so piss poor this year? By that I mean not a single one of them had the backbone to stand up to Dick when he bullied whoever he felt like. It seems to me that the producers picked a weak cast this year for this very reason. I mean could you imagine any of the guys from BB6 (Kaysar, James, Eric etc) putting up with Dick's b*lls*it and standing by while he verbally abused the women in the house? I don't. Maybe this is why the producers held Dick back until this year instead of casting him in BB6.

I'm a big fan of BBUSA but this year has really left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't understand the popularity of Dick. Abusing women and insulting people is not entertaining in my eyes.

Here's hoping that in BB9 we get a cast of people who DON'T know eachother and no twists that make it easy for producers to rig the game any way they want.

Jen and Zach stood up to him

Although I hate the end result, and have been annoyed by aspects of the game, this year has been a brilliant series for me.

I don't think it has sucked, but it certainly hasn't been great...a very mediocre season, with a twist I have despised with a passion = overall not that great (but it's still BBUSA, and I love me some BBUSA so it could probably never suck).

I'd say I enjoyed all stars more, and I thought that was really poor at the time lol

The good:
Big characters
Strong alliances
Funny tasks
Eric/Jessica romance (yeah, I'm a sap...first BB romance that's made me googaa since Chantelle and Preston)

The bad:
A contestant being allowed to physically assault another.
LOADS of really unlikeable house guests.
America's player screwing the whole format of the show.
America's player continuously voting in favour of the same person(s) who I personally disliked.
Some really dumb players & lots of floaters this season.
A final 2 I personally dislike.
That plane banner 'We love Nick. Eric & Amber are liars' (contact with the outside world, again screws with the format)
The Daniele/Nick Showmance.

Overall I'd list the season as about my 5th favourite.

----------

I'm not really into conspiracy theories or shouting 'FIXXXXXX' whenever my favourites don't prosper, but I have been hearing a lot about Dick and Daniele I didn't already know in recent days...like the fact he got a coded message from his son the week he was HOH, the rumours that they were never really estranged and knew each other were going to be there (and had planned the 'good cop bad cop' routine all along) and there's even a rumour going around that they arrived at the show in the same limo!! lol

I have really enjoyed it, even though the Donatos are awful and they won. Not my favourite series though. My favourites have been Jen (duh), Jessica, Jameka, and near the end Zach was brilliant!

Interesting points Starlet, at the end of your post. Did you also know that the rules state people can only apply for the show if they are aged 21 at the time of applying? Daniele was 20 at the time of applying but was let in and allowed to apply. It does make you wonder why they would bend the rules like that just to get Daniele in.

I have mixed feelings about this season.

While there's always been a lot going on, and it's been very entertaining, not having anyone to properly root for (excluding Jen) took some of the fun out of it for me.

This has been the first season for me where I haven't really cared at all about who I want to win. It was almost like watching a season full of herd-herd with no Sovereign six to take the sting out of it!

Interesting post OP. I wouldn't say this series sucked, but the points you make have made it less enjoyable to watch at times.

LOL, During my more cynical moments, part of me can't help wondering if this show has all been staged purely as a precursor to CBS producing one of those family based reality shows that do well in the US (like "The Osbournes" etc.).

"The Donatos".

Now before people start saying only Dick said he was screwed out of being on BB6 on this clip - at the start of BB8 his son, Vincent, said both Dick and Daniele auditioned for BB6 together. Remember on BB6 we had the secret partners twist. Dick was going to go on the show with Daniele. Vincent was second choice in case Daniele wasn't able to go on.

I love BBUSA until the last week or so, because I often find the last two or three houseguests are the ones I despise.

However, I just credit them for playing the game well and go on watching. It's just the nature of the game that sometimes the dislikeable ones prosper, take it with a pinch of salt and all that.

I've quite enjoyed this season, hope there'll be another as I always love BBUSA.

Was that actually in an episode, or a newpaper article?

I liked the series. The only twist I didn't like was ''America's Player'' just because it messed up a lot of alliances and evictions.

I would have preferred to see Daniele try on her own since she was a very good player, and her alliance she would have formed with Jen could have been interesting. I wish Dick had have gone earlier against Dustin

I loved it because it was the first season I'd watched but since then I've watched all the previous seasons and I can see that it is not as good as many other seasons.

BB8 was alright until the week of the banner-plane when the producers rigged things for Eric to stay to ensure America got a vote on the jury.

I enjoyed BB8. I thought it was entertaining. The problem I have with the series is the AP twist. That shouldn't have been there. Stick to America's Choice BBUS!
