"Malice In Wonderland": Imagine Staying In Close Quarters With Your Worst Enemy

[misssuzq]

I have no issues with gay men or lesbians except when the are WAY too over the top in their mannerisms, i.e.: men trying too hard to act gay or flit around more than women do or women that act like some character out of a movie trying to be masculine and tough.
Blending into the woodwork is least annoying and to me, a way in which I can respect their lifestyle, not be put off by it.
Joe has to go - his ex is fine, Joe is probably an embarrassment to GLAD.

Chicken George from one of the seasons was older and fat, they targeted him though.

I would have bought the 24 hour live stream, (the price was reasonable) but you can't just buy the Big Brother package. You have to buy a whole subscription to some Superpass *** I don't want and download their program, toolbar, etc .... And then, they'll keep charging your credit card even when the show is over, unless you CALL THEM BACK if you want to cancel it. I've been there, done that. It's a hassle! Too bad...was really looking forward to it, too.

Are you kidding? How many over 40's could pass the boobs/pects test? and of those, how many would consent to this nonsense? It's an over-eighteen kids show.

Love the new season. A little disappointed that noone is over the age of 40 or even slightly overweight. Is this reality????

Take heart - the mainstream gay men you are talking about would never consent to being on this show.

After only watching one night I am hooked. You really hit on it this time so far. I have waited a whole year for this show and I am glad to say that I really think I will enjoy the 8th season as much if not more as I have the past 7 seasons. I also love the idea that we can watch more of it on Show time. There are days when I just can't get enough of this show. I love the creators of this show and love how each year it gets better and better. Kudo's to all the writers of this show, and to all the people who think up all the games that the houseguest take part in. I am in aw of their creative talent to keep bringing us more and more interesting seasons of this show. I haven't look forward to a show starting every year since Dallas back in the 70's. Right there tells you I am not a teenager. Thanks for this chance to let you know how I feel about this years show. Thanks for the show.

CBS is doing gay men no favors by continually having these despicable gay men on Big Brother. As if Marcellas wasn't bad enough, then we had "Bunky" (the crier). Now we've got two nelly sleazeballs who play right into the hands of right-wing homophobes right off the bat.

Really disappointing, especially since there are literally thousands and thousands of gay men out there who do not fit into these stereotypes.

You would think a more interesting twist would be to have a real *** hunk who all the women are lusting after, only to find out weeks into the show that he is really gay. Now THAT would be a twist worth watching.

Other than that, after only the first episode, none of the houseguests strikes me as particularly compelling.

I want to know if Eric's parents are Jane and Bill ,if so I knew him when he was a kid

People over the age of 35 who would want to live in a frat-house - on camera - are mentally challenged.

Though it would be nice to see some older houseguests, most of us over 30 can't really leave our lives and families for 3 months. They may not get as many people applying to play who are older and those who do might not be as willing to be outrageous. People start worrying about how what they do will affect their jobs and families once they grow up and have more responsibilities. If people are really interested in seeing more older players they should send in a tape and be prepared to go all out to show they can be interesting, entertaining, manipulative and keep people involved in the show. Just my 2 cents from an over 35 BB Fan.

I just watched the after dark bb8 on SHO2 from midnight until 1230a and Eric didn't stop saying the F*** word. I don't mind hearing it once in a while but he is using it way to excessively.
If he is supposed to represent America then he is not a good example of it.

Argh! Naturally, they've got a midwestern arrogant ignorant *** that thinks homosexuality is a choice...I feel sorry for her children.

[lovehurts010]

i love this show and it just keeps getting better! I disagree with the previous comments about how this is like the real world ... the real world gets boring ... big brother doesnt it has eliminations, competions, enemies, etc.! So if theres soething you don't like about it maybe you should leave it to yourself b/c i don't see you prouducing shows!!!

[dejeperry]

You know, I realize you are looking for good TV, but should I assume that anyone beyond their 20's aren't capable of giving the viewers some different reasons to watch. I'm really disappointed that once again, we have a bunch of young housemates. I love this show, but I'm losing interest in watching all young contestants...

[divabunny]

i completely agree with the previous poster. this isnt big brother... this is mtv's the real world! only two over 30 and those two are polar opposites... she's really religious and he is an owner of a bar! i've heard this will be the last season bc the ratings have been so horrible the last few seasons, esp bb all stars!

[grannyroux]

I am so disappointed to see profiles of the new houseguests. Why can't we have a little geographic variety, as well as more than two people over the age of 35? I have watched BB since the very beginning and appreciate interaction between people from different parts of the country and different ages. I will watch for a few episodes and see how it goes, but wish casting directors would realize that some of us baby boomers get tired of seeing all twenty-somethings.
