Dear CBS,
I have been a loyal Big Brother watcher since its inception. I have watched power shift, alliances form and strategy prevail. I have rooted for my favorite and cursed the opposition. I have been wrapped up in the drama and committed countless hours to following the houseguests. That being said, here’s how I feel now…
This is the most childish show I’ve ever seen. A horrible display of humankind. This show does not teach or promote anything good. I find myself searching for a positive and come up with nothing. It’s not good TV anymore. Watching people being stripped of there beliefs and ideals, being pushed around and preyed upon. Lies. Manipulation. Your contestants may put themselves in these positions, but you pick them. You edit them. You pick the competitions to create chaos. You can call this a game, but it's an amplification of the worst in people. I can turn on the news for 5 minutes and see that.
Big Brother is turning nastier and nastier as the seasons progress. The houseguests are more volatile, brash and unstable than ever. I believe the original concept is totally corrupted. I feel the screening process is completely out of control. Half of the contestants truly believe they are celebrities or that this is some kind of stepping stone. The show is losing its luster. Contestants from the earlier seasons are completely different than later ones. They used to be everyday types. Now it seems everyone has some kind of entertainment resume they tote with them. They consider themselves an enterprise.
I don’t believe most loyal BB fans agree with this. I don’t believe most loyal BB fans want to re-live this high school twist you have created. It is regression. It’s becoming painful to watch and I want to so bad.
So I humbly say this to the producers of Big Brother…Can you please go back to putting the voting power with the people as you did in the earlier seasons? Can you give the viewing public the right to reward the true competitors? I think the dynamic may shift back to wanting/needing to win competitions opposed to lie, cheat, steal, ride coattails to win. I may be alone in my thinking, but I read a TON of the message boards and don’t think I am. Anyone who would like to add their name to this request, please do. I will forward to Big Brother at the end of the season. Hopefully it will put some integrity back into this game I loved so much.
sign me up. CBS did it wrong
ReplyDeleteAGREE!!
ReplyDeletei agree with you. very well stated and maybe they will listen. i am afraid as long as their numbers are good they wont. when the numbers arent there the show will end. america cant win.
ReplyDeletethis is right on point. i don't even watch anymore.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what u said. This has probably been the worst season of Big Brother i have ever seen. These year it is teaching that lying, cheating, back stabbing and manipulation are all okay to win money. Ever since Jesse came on this season i feel the game has been rigged from the beginning and i have never felt that way about BB before. If this continues to happen i will no longer take part in watching the humiliation of the weaker house guests.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE TO AGREE THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST CAST EXCEPT FOR JEFF AND CASY BUT THE OTHERS ARE BOTTOM FEEDERS
ReplyDeleteTony Gusto...sign me up.
ReplyDeleteAMEN!...and i'm not religous. most haven't watched to know how the show started back in the day. it's not an individual person issue for me...it's a overall cast issue. and it's been getting bad for years with the invention of "backdoor".
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU.I HAVE TO AGREE THIS SEASON SUCKS.R.I.P. BIG BROTHER.
ReplyDeleteWhen the groups stay like this....HG will continue to pick on other groups like in High School. Individuals do not gang up on others...they need a group. CBS has proven this, why continue to broadcast a different version of Mean Girls, or "Gang Like" activity???
ReplyDeleteI agree with the original comment 100%!! I love Big Brother in its true
ReplyDeleteform, not this seasons' format. I come away from the show feeling angry
rather than entertained. CBS please listen!
TOUCHE!!!! I agree - I find myself yelling profanities at the TV - never did that before. They're announcing a big twist for thursday - it better be a good one!!
ReplyDeleteThe "Survivor" show set-up of teams in the beginning will not work with Big Brother. What were they thinking?? It should always be every man for himself and it go from there. That is why it is called Big Brother and not Survivor. The team set up has gone on too long at this time and now it is not worth watching as they pulvarize one team at a time. Jesse on the show is a big waste of air time and it does feel all rigged. I am not going to sit by and watch the "Jesse Show" staring his puppet Natalie. I agree with all that has been said so far. And sign me up as a fan who will stop watching after this Thursday. I want to see Casey bust the group talking because they all need it. Then the Jesse show will be canceled on my tv.
