Why are you people still sleeping?

Jess - I love it when they're helpful like that.  

Snippylynn

How have I given any spoilers by saying people hopped over the line or that they did well? Sheesh. Not my fault NBC is a bunch of douches.

musicalsunlight

No I don't mean that you did, Snips. I just mean for future posts.

And I don't really mind that NBC delays the events. They are the most popular and most people want to watch them and when they air realtime is not the primetime for when people are in front of their TV. I dunno, I think it makes sense for a network to do.

angelstar975

I'm glad they're doing it primetime too... I only ever watch TV at night.

JessAndTrav

Musu - ITA, but I can't help but watch. This is only my 3rd season to watch, and I liked that the twist in BB12 was the saboteur. And then last summer they brought back vets, and again this year. If I had it my way, the vets would stay away.

Loopy - I called her and I told her what was going on, and that I know that there was a ratio of contractions/hour where you should go ahead and go to the hospital, and she says, "There's not a rule. Just whatever you feel."

I'm pretty sure that she was busy watching tv and was mad that I was interrupting.

I don't mind NBC delaying the events either.  How many people are going to be up at 4:30AM here in the States?  Probably not most.  To me it makes more sense to delay the most popular games and put them in primetime.  That being said, I've never made a point to tune into the Olympics so it doesn't matter much to me when NBC decides to air certain events.

[QUOTE]I don't want spoilers because one of my favorite feelings while watching the olympics is the thrill of a close race or something and not knowing who is gonna actually get the gold, etc. Thats the best part for me. I am DVRing BB so I'll probably watch Olympics! I'm pissed at BB this season.

<div>Why are you pissed at BB this season?  I don't like the coaches aspect - at all.  I think it's pretty dumb.  And if they send them back into the game I may stop watching for the summer.  I don't really want to watch a repeat of last season where the vets ran the show.  It's an unfair advantage that they all have pre-existing relationships.</div>

That's stupid, because from what I've heard, if you go in "whenever you feel" you'll probably get sent home.

Snippylynn

I'm not saying they can't or shouldn't show them at night-- just that they can and should show them at the live time as well. 

Sorry, I'm still really crabby from my argument with my mother this morning. She's still sending me message and it's pissing me off.

I know! I'm glad that I decided to hydrate before making a decision to go in, because once I drank a few bottles of water, they stopped.

Then I realized that while we were car shopping/moving stuff, I had been sweating all day, so it made sense that I was dehydrated.

That would have been annoying to go to the hospital so that I can...drink water.

ETA: To clarify, I didn't call my doctor. It was the after-hours helpline. My doctor doesn't suck like that. If she did, she wouldn't be my doctor. ;)

musicalsunlight

Lol well it sounds like you don't agree at all then, Jess. haha. I want the coaches twist to stay the way it is. And I thought the saboteur was an epic failure of a twist.

The twists I liked were things like BB5 with Cowboy Mike and Nakomis finding out they were siblings and then the twins that switched places for a long time without people knowing about it.

This crap they do now is just not interesting.

JessAndTrav

Did anyone just catch the girl from Brazil doing the floor exercise and she was doing it to the music from Saw? I feel like that's an odd choice of music.

Uh, that would be outstanding. I wish they would do that again!

musicalsunlight

Haha yeah I saw that too, Jess. I wonder if it is also from something else because yeah all I thought of was the epic ending scenes of the movies where someone gets stuck in a trap or when we find out something crazy.

As you can see, I have seen every Saw movie because I'm crazy.

musicalsunlight

Exactly, Jess. I mean they probably couldn't do those EXACT twists again but they were much more interesting. And BB6 had Janelle in her first season and everyone came in with a "partner", someone they knew IRL but everyone thought that they were the only ones with a partner and they couldn't reveal it to anyone. That was definitely more entertaining.

J&K10910

I prefer the men's floor to women's floor.  I want to watch them tumble and do cool power moves, not spend half the time prancing around awkwardly.  Most of them make terrible dancers, and if I wanted to watch dance, well, I'd watch dance.  DO HANDSPRINGS AND LAYOUTS AND SHIIIIT.

JessAndTrav

After hearing about their old twists, I see why the new ones are a yawn to you

Loopyseven

Sorry you had a fight with your mom Snips.  It sucks - and they know which buttons to push.  We are heading to Ohio in September and even though we're staying with MIL, we are trying to figure out how to see everyone else we want to see and still spend enough time with MIL that she doesn't whine to H that we didn't spend ENOUGH time with her, and we dont' really love her we just used her for a place to stay, blah, blah, blah.  She's a pro at the emotional manipulation.

JessAndTrav

I forgot how short some of these gymnasts are...4'8" That's short.

Yes! My mom does this, and it makes me crazy. Then I get upset, and she's like, "I wasn't trying to upset you."

<div>I love when the men try to do some little flair-ish leap.  They look like Corky St. Clair.  Stick to the power moves, kids.</div>

Loopyseven

I agree MuSu - The twins thing was awesome.  

On another note, I teared up at dinner last night.  We're going to be there Saturday afternoon through Thursday morning and Iknow H wants to go to his (mountain) bike night with his group of guys that rides every Wednesday night.  He also wants to get together with his two BFF's and the priest that married us - he was their theology teacher in HS and became a mentor to all 3 of them and it's usually a boys night when they get together.  Then he mentioned going golfing with some work people and his one friend... and I was like "what am I supposed to do while you're off doing all this stuff that doesn't include me..  Sit at your moms house and be awkward there alone"?  We're only renting one car and his mom lives far away from most of our friends so I don't really want to ask any of them to come pick me up and drop me off cause it's inconvenient.  Am I being unreasonable?

musicalsunlight

Yeah, they were definitely better back in the day. I've been watching the show since I was 12, lol. I do believe sincerely that the producers do anything they can to help certain players every season win more comps or win the game.

The vault is just crazypants. Has anyone seen the movie Stick It? I freakin' love that movie.

MyUserName1

Nope, Loopy.  He should do stuff with his friends that you can participate in as well instead of things that exclude you.

Loopyseven

I think I've seen that movie on ABC Family or something...

Posted by Loopyseven[/QUOTE]

No, I don't think so at all.  I mean, I like to see friends from home and such when I go home, but I always include H because I wouldn't want to leave him with my parents.  Can he skip golfing maybe?  And do dinner with those people and their SOs instead, maybe, so he can still see them but also include you?

musicalsunlight

Its a great gymnastics movie, haha its cheesy but every time I watch it, I decide that I want the main character's body like wo.

I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. I would feel the same if J did that. I think he should alter his plans a bit for you to be included.

angelstar975

Loopy, I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. He shouldn't leave you sitting at his mom's house while he goes out with the boys... especially not 3 times.

lyndausvi

I'm annoyed at they are putting the good stuff on primetime on the weekends.   People watch football during the day every Sunday in the fall. Why can't they show the "good" events live.   With social media and the internet you can EASILY find out the outcome.    Plus they put out too much "fluff" when they have time to edit coverage.

During the week it's not as big of a deal to me.  Most people are at work and don't have access to the information as easily.

<div>Thanks for the validation :).  I was okay with the Bike night, and the boys night with the priest, but to add a third activity solo, and one that will last hours and hours just seemed like a litlte much to me.  Although H did say he was hoping to include me and the girlfriends of his BFF"s in the night with the priest/teacher.  He married us, and it would be nice to see him again.  But still.. I don't want him abandoning me while he goes to play golf.  *pout*</div>
