I don't know if anyone watches BB, or gets the live feeds, but just in case. I've been an addict for a few years now, but I think I may be over it. Meanwhile ABC is coming out with Glass Houses (but only one day a week, and very limited Live Feeds at least for now.) About the show: http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/the-glass-house/about-the-show CBS and ABC are at war, with lawyers about all of this BTW. http://www.cinemablend.com/television/ABC-Responds-Glass-House-Lawsuit-Says-It-Big-Brother-Ripoff-42842.html (the war info) More: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/11/the-glass-house-lawsuit-cbs-abc_n_1508986.html Edited by Mariah, May 24 2012, 08:21 PM.

I am a big BB fan - i draw the line on the live feeds. I did it once and billing snafu - the co that provides it kept charging my card for a few months for their 'other' content. This was years ago. i get Showtime now and tried to do BB after dark, but all these folks do is lay around. I think BB is the best thing about Fourth of July - that's when it usually starts IIR. Though this summer is Olympics which is also on CBS so what's going to happen? My guess is that's why NBC did this. I finally saw the Glass House promo during Duets tonight and I thought it was a scripted show. Like pick your own adventure. ETA - now I'm really confused. NBC does the Olympics not CBS. My bad. Still wonder if they will put BB up against Olympics. I am an Olympic nut - when it's on that's all I watch for two weeks solid. Sigh will have to catch Bravo on delay.

I only watch the show to see how much the edit differs from the feeds (my favorite part of it actually) and to see the competitions which are blocked on the feeds. So, I am a total feed junkie. However, THIS year, I think I am going to pass. For one thing, we just don't get that much sunshine in the Pacific Northwest, and I am sick of wasting it glued to the dang feeds. Although the flashback feature is great, you can go have a life and then check one of the live feed updates threads on Sucks or one of the other sites, and then just flashback to the good stuff at your leisure. BUT. I am seriously sick of the same old house and tacky "updates." I am also sick of the competitions being almost exactly the same every year. It's so stale. Between the show and the feeds though? I'd take the feeds every time. At least you can see what is really happening, as opposed to what CBS chooses to show. (or CAN show!) The feeds don't have to meet FCC regulations, so there have been everything from nude pool romps to live sex, to horrible racist fighting, medical emergencies, complete throwdowns, and watching the various tactics and manipulations to win this thing. That said, CBS is blocking feeds more and more all the time. So, it's getting old. I seriously hope Glass Houses makes it, because at least it will be something new to look at, and also, if it DOES, I'm sure they will offer more live feeds and schedule it more often than once a week. Also, if it does? CBS will HAVE to update that damn house and the damn comps just to compete. I think Glass Houses has a shot, many people don't "get" or want to "get" BB, but this will be more viewer-voting, and it's a small commitment of time, just an hour a week. We shall see. BB starts July 12th. "The Glass House" premieres Mon., June 18, 10 p.m. ET on ABC. Edited by Mariah, May 24 2012, 09:43 PM.

I think i said this over on Freeforums - can't remember, but thanks to places like TWOP and here I finally realized how different things are between live feeds and edits. I can't remember the folks names, but there were several competitors that I liked who were raging racists or crazy pant. I didn't discover survivor sucks until the year with April and Ollie. I *had* to find the video of them having sex. I loved Ollie till that shit went down. Hope I'm remembering the names correctly here. Do you know who I'm talking about? |

Yup. And that Grampa guy who screamed all the time was getting off listening to and watching them have sex! That's why I became addicted I think (no, not the sex!) It's the only show where you can see what goes on that editors have to work with, and what they decide to show. Some weeks I actually applaud them for sifting through all of that and still coming up with an interesting show, hitting the most important points. Most weeks I just roll my eyes at the broadcast show, because they leave out SO much important strategy, or are playing up favorites. I would LOVE it if other reality shows dared show raw footage in real time. Sometimes I have just laughed so hard during the Live Feeds (Jordan and Jeff talking) and other times been horrified (Joshuah telling Amanda to hang herself just like her daddy did.) Crazy James running around doing taint slaps with his massive dick. Clever competitors planting outright lies (Natalie and Kevin for example, or Sheila) and having people buy it and ruin their entire game. There is just SO MUCH that happens! Unfortunately, most of the interesting strategy takes place in the dead of the night, after 2AM, when many houseguests are asleep. Which left me going to bed at 5 AM or so, and sleeping through the sunshine. I seriously wish this show was on in the winter, like BB9. There isn't much daylight to miss, and here anyway, it's gloomy and raining most days. QuirkyDude has a lot of You Tubes up of the live feeds, when good stuff was happening BTW. |

I just spit smoothing through my nose. Say what? Can you pretty please link a picture of him...the name isn't really ringing a bell. Natalie was cleaver? I just remember hearing how she was nasty and didn't bathe. |

Natalie was nasty and didn't bathe, but she made up damn good lies and stayed alive with them. The Green Room Li was one that had long tendrils. Crazy James is the one who had the cartoonish tattoos and orange hair. He was banging Chelsea (who works for REAL now and does all the interviews) but her parents freaked the fuck out because it turned out James had done some gay porn, and Chelsea was young. Anyway, during the naked pool party (and other times) he ran around the Back Yard naked a lot, and did many taint slaps with his large dick. Oh, and another thing that was fab on the feeds, and not quite as good on the show (though they tried and got most of it) was when Chima went to WAR with CBS, eventually culminating in her throwing her expensive mic-pac into the hot tub. They had to drag Grodner out of bed to get her into the diary room and expel her somewhere around 3AM. She kept telling BB to fuck themselves when they called her to the diary room. Crazy James: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJCVOe7dY4k Amanda fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiMgX_BE1F4 Quirky Dude clips (there are more) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiMgX_BE1F4 Figuring out the rat.

What I can't picture is was he hitting his own taint with is big dick or others. Good clips. I remember Chima and her meltdown - but the 2nd clip. I don't remember any of those folks. LOL So much for me being a super fan. All time fav BB contestent - Janelle follwed by Marcellas (and who's the girl who liked cheese? Amy? I liked her too). Don't tell me Janelle is a raging racist or anything - I don't remember hearing any dirt about her right? |

I haven't heard anything bad about Janelle. He slapped his own taint with his dick. 2nd clip was from the winter edition, BB9. Very raunchy edition since they made them "couples" but minute for minute, on of the most edge-of-your-seat BB's EVER. Something was always happening, and there were many power switches among sides and people. I loved it. |

I've been following BB since season 11, the Chima year. Man, that bitch was crazy! I do get the live feeds and have met some very nice people through the live feeds chatrooms. I'm not a Jessie fan nor a Brenchel fan nor a Jefjo fan. I kinda have to laugh at those who think they must continue on reality television. It's time to grow up and move on! |

huge BB fan :) allaboutbigbrother is a great board for big brother- i think. During the season, and after- they find out everything about everyone. Chima was crazy- but I gave her SOME slack. She had to testify in the trial of a serial killer (for real) who raped her and cut up her face (she had extensive plastic surgery). He killed other people he raped. He was eventually executed.

say what Ranjake? I read your post and work and started to google it then thought better. Did she reveal that on the show? I think I remember her backstorying being victim of violence, but what the what? Allaboutbigbrother and SS are too hard for me to keep up with. Too big - and oy vey he emoticons and shit people put on their handles. Half the time I think I'm reading a post and I'm actually only reading someone's handle. |

she did reveal it on feeds- if you google- Chima Simone Benson-rape- apparently she was on an american justice (i never saw it). She got away from him. She was the guys' last victim; she testified against him. |

I was a big fan of Big Brother from the start. Just watched the show, not the feeds. Then the year Jun won, I signed up for the feeds and I was hooked for about three years. I gave up the year EvelDick won. I thought he was a bully and Grodner manipulated events to let him stay because he was good for ratings. Since then I've watched the show on and off without feeds, and I see more and more manipulation. From what I've read Jeff (of Jeff and Jordan fame) made quite a few incendiary comments which were not shown on the show, cuz Jeff was so popular. I don't like Grodner's way of running the show; her predecessor (Shapiro?) produced a more honest show, IMO. Dr. Will was my all time fave. |

yes- Jeff had a rant about "Dumbledore" but he's not a homophobe- just not the "sharpest crayon in the box" :) He thought Kalia was inferring that the "Harry Potter" series should have gay sex- and he was TRYING to say he didn't think books for kids should have ANY sexual content. Jeff in real life is very supportive of LBGT causes. Adam called autistic kids "retards", Amber bashed jews, Chima called (arab) Russell a terrorist. "Dirty" (stinky) Natalie said gays should not be allowed to be doctors, Jesse said "the jews and gays" run Hollywood- and Jerry- the "nice" old man? called Libra the "n" word. there's probably more that i've forgotten. All of those things are known mostly only to feed watchers. I think with Grodner- she definitely tries to manipulate the outcome a lot more. Oh, and Ronnie Talbot admired Hitler :) |
