Does anybody watch the show Big Brother 8?

If anybody has opinions on the show Big Brother then please post them. Personally i HATE Jen and i hope Carol is voted off because i think Amber deserves it more.

I have only seen the premiere episode so far. I used to be a really big fan of the show, but this year I just think it's really trashy in an obvious ploy to gain higher ratings. I don't like that everyone in the house is (other than two people) a twenty-something who obviously is on the air to get "discovered." And I especially hate how stagey the show is, from the introductory videos of the individual housemates, which took a page out of MTV's dating show book at scripting testimonials, all the way to the polarizing factors of certain people in the house (Kail believes homosexuality is a choice, so she was obviously brought in to bump heads with Joe and Dustin at some point, which is as bad as bringing in a racist or a Nazi).

A lot of the people (such as Jen, Joe, Danielle, Carol, and Jessica so far) don't even seem like real people so much as caricatures-- like they've fit a stereotypical mold, used that to their advantage to get on the show, and are now hamming it up even more for the cameras.

They should just call this season "CBS' The Real World."

I read a recap of the second episode about Jen crying over a picture, and that alone made me want to smack her. It was bad enough the way she was talking about herself during the introductions, like she's just Miss Perfect, and if it wasn't over something so petty, I would have enjoyed seeing her knocked down a peg or two. I agree about Carol being voted out over Amber, too, though, because I think parents who come on shows like this really have motivated (and a good one) to do the shows. They give up a lot to potentially win money that could change their kids' lives, but it's not an easy decision to make.

As far as the guys go, I think Eric's great, but I'm afraid the America's Choice twist is going to majorly sabotage him, and I hope that's not true. Nick is the most attractive guy in the house, physically, in my opinion, but he has that frat boy aura that will probably annoy me sooner rather than later if I keep watching.

Oh, and partnering with Skinemax for "Big Brother After Dark" I think validates my claims that the show has become trashy!
