I miss fandom too. There is just something about geeking out with others over a show/movie. My problem is that I just don't like anything I'm watching right now enough to care to get involved in its fandom. Plus so many shows are moving to the twisted ongoing plot lines a la Lost which, while it's interesting to watch, doesn't really lend itself well to things like fanfiction (which is probably my favorite part of fandom). That's one of the things I adore(d?) about Aladdin and SGA - in both of those universes you could easily send the characters on just about any adventure and as long as you don't beat them up too badly and return them to status quo at the end, it's just an untold story we didn't get to see on tv. I can't think of a single show that I like right now that gives you that kind of freedom

Big Brother is essentially about the power dynamics that come from putting 16 people in a house with no media and no contact from the outside world. There are competitions, physical and mental, that control who becomes the head of household, or the person in power for the week. That HOH nominates people for eviction from the house. There's a competition that serves as a means of changing those nominations as well, but at the end of the week the other houseguests vote and evict someone from the house. Last person standing wins. A lot of it is about the dynamics in the house and who will align with and betray who, what happens when a person is in charge, what are the relationships in the house, etc. Plus you get the live feeds so you can watch what's going on in the house 24/7

That sounds awesome! It sounds a lot like Survivor just in a different setting.
I know what you mean. There was a season like that on Survivor. Someone took charge right away and never lost their control over the tribe and their alliances. They won (which they obviously deserved for dominating the game), but it did make the season pretty uneventful.
