I just watched yesterday's House Calls, which I got this morning from
alt.binaries.tv.big-brother. {It's on the CBS site, but the version of
Flash they use doesn't work in my browser.}
The credits have pretty high production values, compared to prior
years. Gretchen continues to be Gretchen, so you can know how you
feel about that.
There was one thing in the show that gave me pause: She asked a
caller to be a counter of ***ual episodes on the feeds. This seems to
me atypical of her; I suspect she was prompted toward this by TPTB. {I
don't know why folks want BB to be a *** romp; I've always felt *** to
be a participatory rather than spectator activity.}
Last year's Dick was the first co-host {it will be only two times a
week}. He's still unrealistically impressed with himself, but at
least he limited himself to sarcasm rather than overt hostility. As
someone in another thread feared, Dick *did* get carried away with the
sound of his voice once. Gretchen cut him off decisively, and he was
okay about it. So maybe I won't have to avoid 40% of the House Calls!

All this, of course, is for what it's worth and for those who care.
