My new obsession

Although it is in it’s 10th season, Big Brother has never caught my attention, UNTIL THIS SEASON!  It really was by partial accident that I watched the season premiere.  Six months ago I knew absolutely nothing about this show/game.  Actually, my first encounter with BB was this past April.  One night around 11:30, I was at my friend Sheree’s house.  We were just talking and all of sudden I realized what was on the tv (which was muted).  I say “Sheree, are we watching some guy take a shower outside?”  She laughed and said, “Yeah, it’s Big Brother After Dark on Showtime.”  Since that was like a foreign language to me, she explained the game to me, and I was partially intrigued.  But, not enough to even watch the finale the following week. 

In July, I was at my parent’s house dog-sitting.  I was looking through their recorded show’s on their DVR, and saw Big Brother Season Premiere.  *Lightbulb*  I remember that show!  It seemed like the type of show that, number 1…I probably wouldn’t like (I don’t watch ANY reality tv), and 2…it seemed like the type of show that you couldn’t just pick up mid-season and start watching.  I made the fateful decision that I would watch the 1st episode, and see how it goes.  That’s my theory, you read the first chapter, if it doesn’t grab you then move on!  So, I just applied it to this situation.

I came home from watching the 1st episode, and watched the 2nd show that night at home on TV!  I WAS/AM HOOKED!  Now, if you are a BB fan, then I know you know what I mean when I say HOOKED.   But, let me let you in on my definition of hooked, may I?  

I not only watch it 3 nights a week (which is alot for me, because honestly I watch 3 shows a week, 1x each).  I don’t watch TV, I watch cartoons!!!!  I also find myself reading about it on blogs, and BB websites.  And, if I am being totally honest here, I have to tell you that yes, I watch the 24/7 live feeds on the internet.  Not 24/7, but they are atleast up on my computer during waking hours. They’re there to atleast give me something to walk by and get me a good dose of voyeurism.  This is not normal for me.  I don’t get this into stuff, but this has got me.  I do realize that I have missed what most would call, “the best seasons.”  But, I just like how real it is, unscripted, uncut (well the live feeds aren’t edited anyway).  I just really, really like it!  10 years past it’s prime, but oh well!

If you aren’t a BB fan, then I’m assuming you are wondering why you are still reading.   And also what the heck I’ve gotten myself into!!  Ha.

So, now you know it’s possible that I may randomly talk about this new found hobby, I’m anticipating a very random blog here, so as they say on Big Brother….”EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.”  Please bare with me, for I am very new at this blogging thing, and not too good at it, to boot! 

Try, Try Again, right??

 

I leave you with this….an awesome inside look at the production of Big Brother 10.
