Big Brother started last night on CBS. I could pretty much stop right there because that can tell the whole story.
I don’t want to have a fascination with this show. I didn’t until last summer. That’s when my friends turned me into a maniac.
I can’t just watch the show three times a week and expect to feel satisfied, bu I’m too cheap to pay for the live feeds. Plus, that would make me feel like a total loser. So I split the difference and visit websites that have updates from people who do watch the live feeds.
Sure, I know a lot of what happens before the show hits the air. Oh, I guess this is where I am supposed to say that that link might have spoilers – who am I kidding, it will have spoilers – but I can’t stand people who get their panties in a wad if they find out what happens on a show or a game because they decided not to watch live so I didn’t really warn anyone.
Even though I know a lot of what happens by the time I get exposed to Julie Chen’s insipid commentary, I also know a lot that never makes it to the show. That makes me feel like I have a better Big Brother experience. Of course, all that is moot right now because I can’t remember these people’s damn names so the text updates keep me flipping back to the CBS page so I can see who is who.
But I will be up to speed in no time. That makes me a total and utter loser, but I’m OK with that.
