CBS’s Big Brother – Social Torture For Fun & Profit

Big Brother premiers on Thursday, July 7th at 9pm.  Goody. 

Trapping a group of people who have opposite personalities and lifestyles  into a house with no entertainment but each other? That's my kind of fun - as long as I'm watching and not playing.  It's even more fun these days because the current generation is used to being so connected electronically.  Think about it - no TV, no Computer, no Cell Phone, no iPad or Kindle.  They can't Tweet or Facebook. 

The trauma --

I love watching the contestants playing mind games on each other for fun and profit. And it's always interesting to try to predict who'll be the new couple doing the down and dirty.  There's always at least one - and sometimes two.  I'd be damned suspicious of a man who wanted to do the bedsheet boogie when the whole country is watching.  If he'll do that, I predict nude photos will be plastered all over cyberspace before y'all have been back in the real world for a month. 

This year they're bringing back past duos.  Now that's gotta be fun.  Will they still be together when the season starts? How about when it ends?  Will any of them be exes?  Of course, it won't all be couples but I'll bet they'll be my favorite.  It's a romance author's dream entertainment - Forced love or forced hate - it's bound to be fun. 

I'm looking forward to seeing the cast! 

On Thursday night, I'll be curled up on the couch with the remote waiting for 9 pm and singing - "Let's do the mind warp again...."
