'Big Brother 11': What did you think of the premiere?

Oh, Big Brother. How I love/loathe thee. It's such summer trash, and yet, I can't turn away.

I'm not sure how I feel about this summer's theme, high school, which has the cast broken up into cliques (popular, athletic, brainy and offbeat). I am sure that I am not glad that insufferable Jesse from last season is back this year.

What did you think of the theme and the contestants thus far? Anybody watching the live feeds?

It was good and I loved seeing Jesse again and he is hotter than ever.

I don't like the clique arrangement at all, and like even less that a preening, self-absorbed musclehead like Jesse is back. I'm hopeful that the first 12 houseguests show him the door at the earliest opportunity. (If they can get around the producers desires, that is.)

I am sooooo pissed. How is that we can tell kids in today's society that they should not judge each other when a national show is encouraging this behavior? I think it is absolutely ridiculous that they would have this. I think it ruins the show! Who is that says one group is "popular"? Maybe the "offbeats" think they are "popular". Maybe the "popular" crowd thinks they are more like "jocks" or "brains". It is ashame because for the first time since Big Brother has aired I will NOT be following the season. We will even be cancelling Showtime which we ordered in advance for Big Brother After Dark!

Jesse, makes me want to vohmit. That's all he does at look at himself in the mirror. Notice how small his head to the rest of his body. Where did he learn to eat? Makes me sick!!!
He doesn't add anything to the show.

Can't stand musclebound jessie, couldn't you find someone with just a little bit of intelligence, or doesn't that count anymore.

Have followed the show from year one. Wonder why they can't have a season without the homosexuals. Every season has one. Ugh!!! This season they have out done themselves. Got a real flamer this time! Want to barf! Maybe I'll just stop watching. It is discusting!!

SKK: Wow, how enlightened of you.

I dont mind the theme this year but the cliques will probaly last for the first 4 or 5 evictions. So disappointed that Jessie went bqck in the house. I didnt like him last year and dont like him already this year. Usually I get the live feeds but the less I see of Jesse the better.
