Surgeon General's Warning on Big Brother

There should be a Surgeon General's Warning for Big Brother.

As you know, I just picked up on Big Brother about a month ago on my friend Katie's advice. Since I missed so much of the drama in the episodes I missed I decided to catch up and watch them online. Today, as I waited to play tennis with "The Crew" I watched the first 10 episodes. I am more addicted to this show than ever and to think I can watch it any time I want and not wait is even worse. While I'm just starting another episode my cell phone rings and Katie tells me they're at my apt. complex and to come outside. I go outside, lock-up the house, and we're off to enjoy a serious round of tennis. Or so I think. We get to the court, notice a few guys talking in the court. Talking as opposed to playing tennis, so we kick 'em out. J/K I kindly asked them if they were done playing, they said yes, packed up, and left. Okay, so we set to play. I notice right off that "The Crew" is particularly giggly today and totally not taking tennis seriously. Well, I get a little moody and it definitely shows. Katie tells me to calm down, we're just playing for fun. So we play our game and after an hour Katie and Wendy stop playing because apparently they've fulfilled their tennis quota for the week. Jesse and I continue to play. As we're playing I notice that Katie and Wendy are sitting on the bench whispering very quietly to each other. Immediately I see a relation to their quiet whispering to the many secret conversations going on in the Big Brother house. I signal Jesse over to the net and point them out. What are they quietly whispering about. I'm in Big Brother mode. I sense mutiny on the court. I yell out and ask them what they're talking about. They say nothing and I continue to play, continually suspicious. WHAT AM I THINKING?! Of course, they are not talking shit about me, but I tell you watching all that Big Brother is messing with my mind. Anyway, after a fun game of "keep Jackie's keys away from Jackie" we finish up and my friends go home after Katie almost runs me down with her car.

In short I think there should be a surgeon general's warning posted for Big Brother. Such as the one down below:

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: The viewing of this show may cause anxiety, mood swings, unexplained lashing out towards friends and relations, and severe paranoia. If watched in great concentrations the risk of developing any or all of these symptoms may increase and may be potentially fatal to otherwise perfectly healthy relationships.
