Me. I just wish it had started back the beginning of July, tho
I am so annoyed that it's starting so late. I think we'll start out watching, but not sure if we'll stick with it with school and fall stuff starting so quickly after it starts. I really hope they go back to the regular start dates.Who is ready to watch the new big brother?
Lol...see I'd prefer more of the comps etc and WAAAYYY less of the scripted drama. I just don't get the point it's pretty much all made up/pot-stirring at the very least and not real. I'd rather it be more genuinely and miss the comps.QUESTION .............
I think many reality shows started out of necessity during writer strikes. BUT the shows got more and more lively as the diary room and more became scripted. Now that there is a writers strike again, my fear is without the scripts the conversation might become very boring and we'll be back to slop competitions and more mundane to keep the show moving if these guests don't have the personality to carry it.
HOPE I'M WRONG but ...
Don't get me wrong I agree with you to an extent. BUT you must do a GREAT job of vetting and finding outgoing personable interesting houseguests if you are relying on their ability to entertain. That stopped many years ago.Lol...see I'd prefer more of the comps etc and WAAAYYY less of the scripted drama.

I'm pretty sure it started late due to the writers strike. It's also 100 days long, so the finale isn't until November 9. That gives CBS 3 hours a week of content to fill the gap since their scripted shows won't be airing in the fall. Add in 90 minutes each of Survivor and Amazing Race (plus the Challenge USA), and CBS is using its reality shows to fill a big hole.I'm in. Watched last night. Hoping for a fun season. Also wish it started sooner, but assumed, they delayed due to the writer strike so they have something for the fall since the fall shows cannot premiere due to the strike.
