See how many more people are watching now that Branden is gone. Let Rachel leave and even more people will watch. Keep Dani for now. She is the best player this year. I hope she wins.
About the WCBS preemption…Big Brother was listed as airing at 10 pm, followed by the 11 o’clock local news, 60 Minutes at 11:35 pm, The Good Wife at 12:35 am, and CSI: Miami at 1:35 am. Weird way to arrange everything.

“See how many more people are watching now that Branden is gone.”
I would think more people would watch with Brendan in the game. I’m not saying people wouldn’t care, but if you want to keep viewers watching, you gotta have drama, and Brenchel provides that. If anything, the show is more watchable when both are still in the BB house.

daniele is not the best player this year, she has made horrible mistakes, like trying to keep dom, and being apart of the evict Lawon scheme, she is playing the worst game
