I hate the idea of taking the credits away. Its like going to a restaurant and having the waiter take the plate away the moment you eat the last pea. Sorry mate, I haven't finished. I would like to digest my meal for a few moments and reflect on it before cutting to something else. Same goes for the credits on film and TV.

lyndal: It's just crap and, IMHO, always has been. I was just quicker to see it :)

Bolden: So you think it's just like 10 cutting credits and putting them on the web so people don't get a chance to switch before the next show is on?

Oops, I should listen to the entire show before commenting! Hopefully sooner rather than later then.

When is Ross coming back? Fill ins have been great but we need Ross as well!

Maybe you could have sit-ins like Nelly/Wilbur/Lawrence etc... when Ross does come back. Its great to hear from new people one in a while.

Great ep guys. Good to hear Nelly back on.
I don't want to give any Boxcutters spoilers so I will simply say how much I enjoyed the surprise phone call.
Also, I wonder if Big Brother is just as awful now as it ever was but that as we get older, we move further away from the age of the contestants and therefore further away from the target demographic. Maybe we only liked it when we could see some of ourselves reflected in the contestants and the gap between us and 19 year olds is just too big. Or maybe it is just crap.
