Big Brother

Oh, come on! Survivor has NOTHING on Big Brother! Whereas the competitions on Survivor were tense and contrived, Big Brother gives viewers an excited, often light-hearted atmosphere of laid-back FUN.

Ever since they got rid of Will, Jordan, and Karen, Big Brother is finally shaping up to be an intriguing show...no longer are certain houseguests trying to purposely cause conflict, but "Big Brother" behind the cameras is now trying to cause the conflict by interrogating the houseguests, attempting to pit them against each other, and teasing them with indulgent incentives.

LOVE the group dynamics...Cassandra trying to keep everyone in line, Jamie getting all starstruck, Eddie rolling his eyes at everything that happens, Brittany hugging/squeezing everyone who crosses her path, George making a fool out of himself...it's HILARIOUS! I thought the "Karen Springer Show", the pie-eating contest, the dance marathon, and the "beauty pageant" were incredibly funny.

And I think host Julie Chen is really likable and does a great job with it. I want CBS to bring back Big Brother with a new group of houseguests.

So there!
