If this third edition of 'BB' isn't as outlandishly amusing as its predecessor ... it's certainly had its moments.

New executive producer Arnold Shapiro has made Big Brother 2 less tedious than last summer's ... But the show still has too many blah periods in which the players simply sit around and scheme.

Big Brother is the kind of huff-puff summer entertainment you look for on sweaty evening nights at the cabin, and it's concept always leads potential and promise for something and or someone to make it their own. And only on some occasions does it pay off, and that's enough to keep an ear in season after season.

This is the most juvenile season ever. Why bring back people from previous seasons I don't know of anyone who wants to see them. Why do they have to beat on the table and the contestants repeat all the game directions after we heard them already. So annoying!

So many things about the CBS "Big Brother 2" series are genuine improvements over last year's version, from the set and cast to the producers and number of weekly episodes, that it's almost frightening this sequel still musters such a meager rating. Yet that's how horrid the original was. And even after these significant improvements, "Big Brother 2" is by no means worth watching. [7 Jul 2000]

Actually watching Big Brother five nights a week (total air time: 3½ hours) seems like the entertainment equivalent of enduring gavel-to-gavel convention coverage on C-SPAN.

Offers only slightly more entertainment appeal than viewing a test pattern. [10 Jul 2000]

It's clear that this program is a compendium of every irritating cliche ever to assault a defenseless TV viewer. [7 Jul 2000]

So far, Big Bro is a big bore. ... In devoting so many hours to amateurs, CBS reduced its prime time to bad home movies. [11 Jul 2000]

Big Broher winners have become about race and sex. No way Ashley should have won Big Brother. She didn’t win crap and Vince’s social game was no different than hers. Add to it the whole Big Brother uncovered was dumb

After watching big brother for almost 20 years this year was the final straw. Horrible cast that was completely racist and promoted by the show. Total garbage and right on par with Hollywood and the liberal bs they promote. Will never waste another minute of my life watching big brother.

How is this stupid show still going? Who even watches this crap anymore than **** young adults who want their 10 mins of spotlight? No I don't care who is voted out, I wish whatever network allows this to continue was voted off my cable.
