I hear you. I believe I saw all 16 vids over on cbs2's site, and I
was struck by how *bored* I was. Granted they were stuck with
answering a questioner who seemed drawn toward the titillative, which
always produces pretty much the same salivation in the answers. But I
wasn't getting a sense of creativity in the personalities. They might
prove to be even more tedious than BB8 -- an accomplishment of sorts.
And like last year, the oldest housemate is someone glued to a
late-adolescent field and trying to prove s/he still has it.
Maybe Allison should go back to kids shows. Apparently she has some
talent for that. I'm not being factious here. She'll win no Emmys
the way she does Big Brother.
