Not sure if we still have any Big Brother watchers anymore.
But just in case I have the schedule below.
I hope they have some good players this year like they did last year.
Can anyone forget Victor or Paul and his beard? Or the winner Nicole saying Cory in her high pitched voice?

That's great, thanks!  I saw a preview this evening and either they are showing old clips or they have some previous contestants coming back.  I wish they would just use a fresh batch of people.  I really like this show... it must be the voyeur in me!  LOL

I am waiting for feeds to start so chat rooms open.. cheerleading.gif

Hi to you both, elf2.gif

I found the following info on what you were posting about and wanted to share.
I don't think I can put the web site but can you PM me and I can give it to you that way if you want to see for yourself?
Not sure if this is okay with rules here at PC. But here is what I found out that relates to your posts.

  The web site *deleted site here* reports there are some spoilers out on the upcoming season. It reports "Julie Chen Hints All New Cast, CBS Axes All-Star 2 Season" Right after "Big Brother 18" wrapped up last year, Chen explained that CBS "probably" will never air another all-star season because it received the worst ratings in the series history. She went on to explain that most BB fans prefer watching an all new cast.
Apparently, CBS did a research study and found that most "Big Brother" fans didn't want to see an all-star season, but didn't mind when they brought a few veteran players back.

Sounds like it may fit more peoples wants and likes this year.  cheesy.gif

Thanks, Cat!  I saw a preview with that irritating return houseguest with the super long hair extensions.  I can't remember her name but if she comes back, I might not watch - that's how bad I think she is.  I don't mind 2-4 veterans coming back but I won't watch all-stars and I won't watch the seasons that appear only on the web or those subscription tv channels (can't remember the name). 

I'm hoping it's a good season.  The show is a good summer filler while almost everything else goes into reruns.

Enjoy!

Hi Squid,
Oh I think I know who you are talking about. Her name was Michelle or there was Natalie, the one who was with James and was so mean to him. Drove me crazy. But they are together and dating after the show. I was shocked to read that.
There is an article about her at this site also and what she is planning.
I do not do the subscription either. I don't have the time to sit and watch 24 hours a day, 7 days a week either.
I do get that special channel that would broadcast BBAD...Big Brother After Dark. That went from Midnight until 3 in the morning. I would record it and watch when I could. That was free on my DirecTV so that wasn't bad. But I had no control on where the camera would be in whatever room. You watched what they were showing. But it was fun to see some of the behind the scenes stuff that they would not show on air. And you could see the end of a lot of the competitions, rather then wait for the next showing.
I hope with you that this season will be good. I liked last season too so will have to wait and see.
And it is nice to have something to watch during the summer months.

I also got permission to post the link to where I find some great information on Big Brother. When you copy and paste the address below, you will need to click on that link and once on that page click on Big Brother to get that information there. There is lots.
If anyone finds anything on that site that should not be allowed here, Please let Mayhem know so it can be removed.
We want to keep this a great site and so far I have found all good and mostly look at Big Brother stuff.

Thanks, Cat!  I'll take a look.

Last I read james and natalie are history and she sued him to make him stop bad mouthing her....lol...I am a feed addict so I watch all the time...insomnia sucks so I watch feeds...

I also heard that about those two. And surprised to read that  Below more info....

Survivor spoilers tease that a Big Brother 18 contestant may be appearing on the CBS reality TV show.  Natalie Negrotti, who appeared on Big Brother 18, revealed that she is ready for a new adventure and believes that Survivor would be the perfect show for her.
Natalie told Us Weekly that she would love to do another television show. She believes that she would be great at Survivor because she is "one with nature." The only slight problem she had was where to go to the bathroom, Negrotti said you must relieve yourself in the wilderness or go in the water. That idea is scary for her.
The Big Brother 18 alum revealed that she grew up going hiking and climbing trees and added that she is a "complete tomboy" even though she is a "girly girl." Natalie joked that she was raised in another country, so it's a little different than here in the United States.

The main benefit to Survivor for Negrotti was that it is only a month long, versus three months on Big Brother. However, Negrotti hasn't ruled out the possibility of returning to BB in the future.  The Big Brother 18 alum revealed that CBS contacted her about appearing on "one of their shows," but she wouldn't disclose which show.
Several weeks ago, Natalie's ex-boyfriend and fellow co-star, James Huling posted a Periscope video revealing that Natalie sent him a cease and desist letter. She claimed that he was slandering her name, when, in reality, Huling was doing everything he could to defend her to the BB18 fan base.
James came unglued; he couldn't hold back anymore. He told his social media fans that she allegedly cheated on him and forced him to lie that they were together, when months ago they broke up.
natalie negrotti
Since Natalie may be sue happy, many Big Brother fans assume that will scare off CBS, and any possible deals she had to return would be dead. Big Brother fans, would you like to see Natalie Negrotti on Survivor? Do you think CBS would consider casting her on another show, knowing that she will sue at the drop of a hat?

Hopefully Survivor will never be so hard up for players that they take her on...She is such a snob and one show with her was more than enough...

Some people make a career out of these reality shows.

Gran...I totally missed reading that you got the live feeds. Is it hard to set up? I am computer challenged and have thought of doing the live feed but then I'm not sure I would get it to work right and mess up my computer.
You must like it and so I need to ask, what do you like best about the live feed?
I would think it would be great to go to whatever room  you want to listen to that conversation rather then be stuck with whatever the person in charge makes you watch. Just curious.
I honestly do not think Nat would make it 4 to 5 days max on Survivor. She was always complaining about the bathroom issues especially when there were so many to start. Can you see her going out in nature? I do not see it at all.  giggle2.gif  Plus she has made a pretty nasty impression from being on Big Brother and James was one of the nice veterans and very popular who dragged her through a lot of the game. And then she turned on him and got so very mean to him. It was so sad to watch and hard to believe she would even be that way. But, I guess they get used to the cameras and forget they are there.

Squid, I have seen couples go from Big Brother to Amazing Race. But can't think of any one but Caleb who went on Survivor from Big Brother. But there probably were a few. I wonder what draws them to do them? One would be enough for me and that is if I ever could talk myself into doing one in the first place.

Caleb Reynolds went from BB to Survivor twice!  There was another one, can't remember.   Let me google....
Hayden Moss, the BB winner, went to Survivor, too.

I love the live feeds..I have been getting them for like 6 years now. There is no actual set up..You just buy all access for like 6$ a month and click the live feeds tab on the cbs page and there they are...nothing to install or download..simple..it's just like watching any tv show online. You can watch any time 24/7...nothing is hidden or edited..it's all live as it happens..I have insomnia often and it gives me something to watch till I can fall asleep again...lol...some of the HOH comps and stuff are blocked from feeds but for me...it's worth the money and when the feeds go live again you always know what happened during the blocked times... I will say this much...if all you watch is the tv show you never see the true nature of the players..it is edited to suit cbs ...with the feeds you see who they really are not what cbs wants you to see. If you saw the 3 girls from OTT you would know they were not little innocents.

Thanks Gran. It sounds so easy to get those live feeds, I may need to give this a second thought this year.
I have gotten a free channel with my Directv service for 3 hours every night. But no control what you can watch.
And I thought the cost was more then six dollars a month on the live feeds. Really good price.
I agree about the cbs editing when it comes to show time. I have had times wondering if I was watching the same show when I would compare the 3 hours a night to what I saw broadcast. Big difference. And the true nature of the hamsters is a lot better to tell even from what I would get when it's not filtered. I really appreciate all this info. And happy to hear this helps you out when the insomnia kicks in. I'm looking forward to the first show and finding out who is going to be on there this year.



Oh yes Squid. Hayden was another one and excellent. How could I forget him?  giggle2.gif

I didn't realize Caleb was married and is expecting a baby with wife. He seems like such a nice guy also.
I wanted him to win Survivor so much but it didn't happen.

Thanks for the info. 

You are so welcome...If I can help with anything Big brother just yell...I have been a hopeless addict since season 1...lol... lipsrsealed.gif giggle2.gif popcorn2.gif

Something I want to mention if you get live feeds...depending on what internet provider you have it could raise your usage and your monthly charge. I sadly have AT&T..my only choice in the boonies and my internet charge doubles during BB season. If you have uverse or a nolimit internet data plan then you are good to go...I would check to be sure and not be shocked if your when bill goes up.

Good to know. I have Charter for internet and will give them a call to see. If I am on a limit, this will be good to know and what I can do to possibly lower costs with a plan they offer for a limited time and then go back to what I have.

I so wish I had the live feed for the season when it was Dr Will and Janelle. I loved that season.
Your BB addiction is a good one and one that gives you help when you're not able to sleep and too late to call anyone for company. This fills the need very nicely.

And I like it too. I will go to the places that live feeders will post what is happening. That helps to know what is going on.
And appreciate those kind people for doing that too. But having the feed to see for myself would be nice too.
I'm still thinking about it. I only have one computer and don't know how I would be able to do Pogo and watch Big Brother.
I'm a Pogo addict and some days wonder how I get done what I need to do in my daily living.  giggle2.gif

Thanks for this tip and I will look into it.

http://bigbrothernetwork.com/big-brother-19-live-feeds-houseguests-cast-reveal/

 giggle2.gif You beat me to the news. Are you going to watch and give us your feelings about the new hamsters?

On Monday, June 19 at 11 AM EST / 8 AM PST, Big Brother fans can meet the cast of Season 19 for the very first time when they are introduced through the BB Live Feeds. That's more than a full week before the two-hour season premiere, which airs on Wednesday, June 28 at 8/7c.

I will be watching...lol..... popcorn2.gif

I called my internet provider and was told that I would have an increase in charge if I got the live feeds. I was told ....yes it would cost more and I would be upgraded to a different package that I had to stay in for a year! I asked if they had one where I could have it for 3 months and then go back to what I have now and was told no.
So, I won't be getting the live feed. And I thought this was a dumb idea on their part. Too greedy. And they could have gotten more money from me for those 3 months but now they get nothing more then what they get now.
Oh well, I'm happy you mentioned something about this and to check. Thank you.  embrace.gif
I can continue doing what I have done in the past and go the the places that post the live feeds and just read the stuff there if needed. And have here also to talk about it too.
I can hardly wait to hear who will be on the show and read their profiles at CBS when available.

I look forward to an a la carte cable system.

I agree with you 100%

me toooooooooooo

Did you see the new Big Brother players for this year yet?
I did find a release and pictures of them.
I am very happy that they are all newbie players.
And seem the ages are a little older and hope that makes for a good season.
I will not give anything else away in case some want to wait.
Oh, can't resist one more hint.....Happy  CHRISTMAS!  giggle2.gif

LOL, I haven't seen anything yet.  I might look up the players but, otherwise, I will wait for the 28th of the month.   I always have trouble with all the names at the onset of a new season.

Found this today:

http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/photos/1007606/meet-the-cast-of-big-brother-season-19/?ftag=ACQ7d0a4ea&vndid=1860985478&nan_pid=1860985478&ad_id=6470637


Do you notice how when they are asked to describe themselves, they are all such wonderful people with wonderful characteristics?  Just once I'd like to see someone list:  Rude, Neandertal-like, dishonest.  LOL

Evil Dick was so evil on the show. I wonder what he said about himself back then.
He was one of a kind. His daughter was on with him and I think he drove her crazy at times too.
But I do not think any of the house guests would be that honest to state their flaws.
They seem to be real understanding that an audience is watching and have some sense of wanting to be liked when the season is over. At least in the beginning.
Now....after being there for a while that could change as does a lot of the personalities as the game starts to get to them.

I did see pictures of the new house and they really went all out on the decorations of every room.
And more twists that could change the way the game is going to make it harder. I also think they may involve the audience in some way.

Only a few more days to go.

I set the DVR!  Let the voyeurism begin!

What i really enjoyed were the guys who got up early and talked to us about every thing...I hope they keep the no daytime napping..it sucks to buy feeds and watch people sleep all day...andddddddddd I want food and have not comps to come back...there is to much boring down time the last couple years...

I would not like that sleeping if I paid for the live feed either.
Or anytime really. I always thought if you snooze you loose.
I hope production keeps them a lot more busy also.
From what I have been reading, this season looks like they are going to be doing much different stuff then the past. I hope this helps too.
It looks like there will be many changes so hopefully time will tell.

I'm going to be away Weds.  I have to wait to see the first episode!  Wahhhhhh

Good you have the DVR set so you can watch when you get back.

 tumbsup.gif

One more day. Gran, are you all set up to watch those live feeds?
Squid, I hope you get back fast so you are able to watch your DVR and see the first show soon.
I am excited to see what everyone is like. It is sometimes hard in the beginning because there are so many people but it is still fun to see all the new.

Looking forward to seeing if we get more posts from others who may want to tune in and add to the the conversation.
All are most welcome to join in.  popcorn2.gif

Big Brother ... I haven't watch that since Season 1 (?)  It was the one where the chicken man was in, and that guy with one leg jumped into the pool outside to save the little dog who was over curious.  It was so many years ago I'll give mad props for anyone who remembers that heh.

Hi Ethan, I really liked Chicken George. He was a hoot.  giggle2.gif
But can't remember the dog. And I have been watching since them also.
But I can't remember lots of past players because of so many, including the dog.  giggle2.gif
Where did the dog come in? I have to know.
Do you remember Nakomis, her brother was the jerk Cowboy and with her help he won the game and has yet to talk to her. Well, we went to Texas about 5 or more years ago when my son lived there and decided to go to the Hard Rock Cafe in San Antonio and Nakomis was working there.
She was so darn nice and took her break so she could sit with the family and it was great. She was like a long lost friend and would have stayed longer but she had to go back to work. That is the only one I have met in person.
The winner from last year is from my state and we will see her shopping once in a while but have never walked up to her to chit chat.

Did you see the show tonight? What did you think of it if you did?
We lost our reception about 10 minutes before the show ended. swear2.gif impatience.gif
Recorded the darn show so we wouldn't miss anything and it went gone.Just colored lines and no picture or sound. Now I will have to wait to see if they repeat anything tomorrow from tonight.

Welcome to our chat on BB. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it all especially from a veteran BB fan.  popcorn2.gif

All I can remember is the door opening and the dog came walking into the house.  I think it was just after someone was evicted and the house guests were a bit down about it.  They just made a big deal about it cause he was fully clothed and didn't hesitate for a second jumping in while a few others that were nearby kind of just stood and watched.  No idea why this one thing (of everything) stuck out in my head.

I don't remember Nakomis, maybe that was a later BB season?

I have only seen spots of BB since then when something big happened.  Just have fond memories of watching the first one fully through.

I saw last night's episode.  I know everyone is excited to be in the BB house but some people are overly dramatic for my taste.  If you want me to fill you in on the last ten minutes, Cat, let me know.  I guess you missed the eviction...

Ethan..... Yes, Nakomis was on a later season.
As I read about the dog I am slightly able to remember something about that. I think this was the only time an animal was ever in BB, right? I'm not sure but I think there is a site where we can go and watch past episodes. I wonder if that would be at CBS web site? It would be fun to see the very first show and refresh my memory. I want to see the dog.  dog87.gif
Also later on in the BB series, I remember a woman who got angry with another player and used his electric tooth brush to clean the toilet. BB saw her do it and did tell the other player about it.
And to this day there have been only the regular tooth brushes used on BB and I think this action was the cause. Plus, how could they have enough plugs for them all to keep charged?  giggle2.gif
And what would stop someone from using the regular toothbrush in the future? But there is a camera in the restroom and they know they got to keep watch on them all.

Did you get to see the one with Dr Will and Janelle? Or Jeff and Jordan? Those 2 stand out in my mind but they were later too.
But I do not remember all the players unless I see their picture and name. Unless they are a big stand out from their show. There are too many.

Did you watch the show last night?


Squid.....I went to one of my BB sites and read updates and found out what happened and who got voted out.
But I really appreciate your offer. Good to know there is info available for when this happens.

I have such mixed feelings on the show.
As much as I like Paul, I did not think past players were going to be on this year. He has a huge target on him with the way BB had him start out with picking the friendship bands people.
And with so many, it is always hard in the beginning to pick favorites that I like because no time to stay on that one or two who stand out.

And I need to get used to all the new twists. And I do agree about the dramatics. Wow, are they aware of the audience or what? Not a fan of that at all.

But I hope that with time and as some leave, it may get better and I will get used to these changes. I did not agree with the way the one that got voted out happened at all. All that you go through to get on BB and not get one night to be there? Sad to see. Especially when this one got voted to go. I liked this one and he seemed like he could make the game interesting and not just another pretty face. Oh well, gotta wait and see.

It's on again tonight and then on Sunday!  I love that schedule... hate waiting for a week when I like a show.   

Yes, there are attractive people in the house but when they start talking to the camera about how attractive they are, they really lose me.  Everyone wants to look their best but I really don't like superficiality on such a scale.   You're right, Cat, time will tell and weed out some of the chaff.

I'm glad it is on again tonight. I'm thinking there will be a re-cap of the end of last nights show.
The nights they are on work well with my schedule also. And it fills in my summer for something new and different to watch.
Gran must be watching her live feeds. I thought she would drop by and give us some info on what we don't see on the show.
Will need to keep watch for her.  watching you.gif  giggle2.gif

C'mon, Gran, give us the dirt!  giggle2.gif shy12.gif

Grannnn, where are you? I know you're watching those BB live feeds. It must be good.

I got news, but it is Pogo news.  My mini was picked for the Hall of Fame today.

All of the times I have done this and today is the first time since I joined to win.

How many gems do I get?  hysterical.gif  Do I get the Nestor with the sparkler? That's it?  shocked.gif

Just joking. It is fun to be in with the others who got picked.

Grann, See what you are missing?  bbq30.gif  i will try making you something on the grill.
You just need to stop by and give us some BB live feed news.  blowkisses.gif

LOL, congrats, Cat!

I think i've found the video of what Ethan was talking about.

Poor puppy!

Josh is a complete whacko!  I am really sure that the moment he is not safe, he will be one of the biggest targets in the house.  What a terrible player!

Mayhem. you are the best! But I don't remember this at all.  hysterical.gif
When I heard the splash I knew that puppy was in the pool.
I wonder if the guy who jumped in after the puppy still had his mic on?
Thank you for finding this and posting. I see such big changes from BB1 to now.
Wow! See what Ethan started.  giggle2.gif  I had to laugh but then feel a bit sorry for that dog.
I wonder why in the world was that dog on set in the first place? I wonder if Gran will remember this? Great job Mayhem. tumbsup.gif

BB tonight is a mess. I'm waiting for Josh to have his walk out the door. So far he has made it easy to make him one of my top 4 people to leave.  girls21.gif
And what about the guy who broke or dislocated his finger on the challenge for the rotten apples? Now he I can understand and kind of like.  blink.gif
I've got to get these names remembered. But the big guy that was crying and yelling at the gal who did nothing but breath and then apologize alone after! What kind of game play is that? I think he needs to go home soon too.  I hope BB has a lot of meds this season for this group. Hope the crazies are gone soon so we can see some good game play. Some of these players are seeing $$$$$ only and do not appear to be thinking of the long haul they still have to go. Too hard, too fast. Too scary.  wow.gif
Maybe BB should bring a couple of puppies on the set this year to calm some of them down.
On second thought, maybe not. That would be too mean to do to the dog.  popcorn2.gif

Just found this info....POPTV Big Brother After Dark starts at 1 AM EST. I have Directv and get this on my channel 273. In case anyone else has this, I wanted to let you know. It is on until 3 tonight and no additional cost to have it. Last year it ran from midnight to 3am. On Friday midnight it will go from 12am to 3am and repeat Saturday, Sunday, Monday etc for those same times.
This is nothing new because I have had this in the past few years but did not see anything about it until tonight. I usually record it and then watch later. Nice to be able to skip over the commercials too. It is live but we have no control what is shown. The Live Feed is better but this works too.

Hahaha you found the video!  I thought it was the guy with one leg who jumped in to get the dog - it's been a few years heh.

Nice find though!  tumbsup.gif

Ok good, so that was the right video then!

I also found the video where the dog got evicted from the house. It appears there were only 4 contestants remaining at the time.

There was a lot of weird things that happened that season.  Didn't they try and have some kind of an uprising about something?  I'm trying to remember ... something like they were going to refuse to vote or something along those lines.  Their thinking of it was "they can't evict us all" if we don't so this.  I know that super vague, it was a pretty big deal when it happened.  I'd be curious if anyone remembers that and what it was about - lemme know!

I'm a late bloomer, Ethan, I've only begun watching in the last... 3 years?  The first year I watched was the year of the all-male alliance and I think they called themselves the "Brigade" or some other military term.

I don't remember much either on that first show. I'm happy if I remember last night.  giggle2.gif
But it was a blast from the past to see the way the patio furniture was back then.
And how they had a big room inside the house for the gym. Production costs have increased a lot since that time. I wonder if they will still have an ant problem this year? Seems those ants always end up being a big topic of discussion. That and how dirty the bathroom gets. Yuck.
I know I couldn't live there and do that show.

Megan is gone? She is the one that Josh yelled at
and then apologized later and she said she would forgive but not forget?
Well, she has PSTD from when she was in the Navy and got assaulted.
All that drama from the guys to her made her so sick that she had to go.
With her gone and Cameron, that makes 2 gone now.
I watched BBAD today of the 2 hour show last night and it sure helps to learn who is who.
Cody does not like Paul at all and wants him gone asap.
I do like Paul and think BB gave him a big hurdle by the way they put him into the game and giving out the friendship bands to only half the group. As if he didn't have a big enough target on his back just to be there again. But he is pretty smart so gotta see how things go.

After watching the show live, I can see why Gran is not here. There is lots to learn and see right now with what is going on in that house and she has to be glued to her live feeds. I don't blame her.

Squid....I got Josh and Cody mixed up yesterday when I wrote. I got it now and understand what you wrote even more about him not having safety and gonna be gone soon. He was a jerk last night when the live feeds kicked in on BBAD. He kept talking to the cameras and talking to his family. Trying to cover up his actions earlier saying it was because of a sick family member and on and on. He would cry and then not cry and was a mess. He would go up to one of the girls and ask if he could lay down in bed with them so it would calm him down and comfort him. The girls all saw through that real fast. Once this safety thing is gone, I think you are right and it won't be long and he will be out if he keeps this act up. But he may last longer because Cody is targeting the girls to go and keep the guys.
I was surprised to see the hardness of Cody(HOH) continue unless you were one of his in crowd. He is very sure of himself and has his goal set.
It's fun seeing the show again. Never a dull moment.

I'm sorry to hear about Megan.  She seemed nice and eager to play.  Josh was SUCH a jerk to her.  I kept thinking, during his tirade, about what Megan could have done to him.  I don't remember seeing or hearing one thing that she did.  I think he has some mental illness, to be perfectly honest.  He won't last long. 


I don't watch the BBAD stuff.  I only get my info from the broadcast shows.  Thanks for the info, Cat, it's nice to get some of the "behind the scenes" info.   

I am LOVING this temptation theme this season!!

I haven't been able to stop by due to heavy rain and flooding. Thankfully we were lucky and the water did not get to our home. But we tried helping those who were not so lucky. Very sad to see the devastation and heartache to those poor people.
I do like the temptation spin too. Especially when it knocked Cody off his high horse when he tried to blind side Paul. So happy for Paul.
Not a fan of the showmances going on this year. And I have grown to like the old guy more and more. He is a character that is funny and entertaining. Very good personality and adds to the show. I think he has 6 different suits to wear and they are all pretty nice. He likes to dress up for their meetings they have and some of the others will dress up also. It's nice to have BBAD to get to know the personalities a lot better. The regular shows that are shown each week doesn't give the time needed to really get to know them all as well.
Waiting to see if Christmas will be saved and if Jillian will be booted. I like them both but it comes down to which side of the house you're wanting to get ahead as to who would be best to go.
The show seems to be pretty good so far and hope the twists continue to be interesting and fun to watch and add to the show. popcorn2.gif

I think Christmas will be the one to go... she's more of a threat.  Cody is terrible... it's like he's a drill sargeant - no real humor in him at all.

I don't understand how these showmances start up so suddenly.  By week two, they were paired off and in bed together.  I know there is a lot of time that goes by and we don't see but it seems SO FAST to me.   I would NOT be attracted to Cody and I think Jessica is starting to cool toward him... he's not a team player.  I think his military background has made him VERY rigid.  I look forward to him being gone at some point.

Sorry to hear about your rain!  Stay dry, Cat!

After watching the show, it seems Cody and Jessica along with Jillian were very surprised to see Christmas stay after all. Welcome to the real world of Big Brother. Cody really messed up his team he pulled together by not being a team player and acting as a dictator and not letting his team know what he was going to do. He did make a big mistake with that move.
I do have a lot of respect for his service to our country in the military. But I am concerned for him due to the talk he makes about the thrill he got out of shooting and killing and would want to do that over again. Concerned he may need to get some help to come around to not being at war anymore. Just very hard to hear him talk about his service and like he is just one step away from having to do that stuff again. Big Brother is a game and not war. Kind of feel sad for him.
Did you see Jessica rip into Christmas after the show and usually they all stand around the picture wall to see the evicted houseguest picture go to black and white? Jessica couldn't wait to tear into Christmas and pitch her F bombs left and right. At least never a dull moment.
The battle for HOH is going to be fun to watch. I know the result but do not want to give it away in case others rather watch and see for themself.
Good and bad, I am enjoying the season this year and do like those temptations too. It has added a nice and interesting twist to the show.
I have not been a fan of showmances due to the blame of one passes on to the other. Much rather see individual game play. But then I think of past showmances that have turned out real well and lead to marriage. Just never know about Big Brother.

Rain coming our way again but so far it is going above or below us. It is so darn humid. We have been working on putting more and more stuff up and off of the floor and out of card board boxes and into the plastic bins just in case. Once that sewage mixed river water gets to the homes and flood them, all that has come into contact with that awful water has to be thrown away. It is all ruined and no good. So all holiday items and photo albums are getting higher places in better containers. Keeping my paws crossed that this too shall pass and quickly.

I was wrong about Christmas!  I can't get over Jessica... I think she is spoiled rotten and so used to getting her way that she has tantrums when she doesn't.   I think Cody is just plain scary. 

I'm sure it's a generational thing but everyone (almost) seems so entitled.

There are some very large personalities playing the game this year.
And I was thinking it was going to be very different with an older group.
They are not boring but a few are getting to be real hard to watch.
One of the biggest reasons why I record and watch later.
Fast forward over anyone I don't care to listen to is a great feature this way.

You may be on to something about the "feelings of entitlement ".

But it won't stop me from watching. Never a dull moment.  popcorn2.gif

I'll keep watching but the show always confirms with me how superficial and selfish people can be.  If many of them were my children, I would be ashamed. 

When it involves money, lines of morality, honesty and character are very blurred and that is when it gets rough. I think this is why I can really appreciate the past players who played a really good game and kept their standards held high but still won the money. I will not mention names, but the seasons when the person won but played an awful game are my least favorite. I didn't watch BB for a couple of seasons because of it. And right now, I have a couple of friends who stopped watching this season after the first episode. They just can not get into it. Don't care for it at all. My hope is that they will come back to watch once some of the people they just do not like at all will get voted out and then the ones left will make it more interesting for all. I miss their input and talking about Big Brother a lot and it makes it even more fun hearing how they are feeling about it all. Like we do here.

Live feeds have been down for 5 hours now and from what I am reading some that have paid for the live feed are not happy at all and feeling like a fool.
My free channel on Directv, POP, has the house guest interviews on how they plan to play the game, all pre game stuff, or the fish in tank swimming.
I wonder what happened with the POV? They had been locked in the house since this past thursday while BB crew was building the set for this. Not clear if this is even the reason right now.
Sure hope Cody didn't snap!  shocked.gif

Weren't they vying for the HOH when the last show ended?  I remember Christmas (what a name!) crawling on all fours while the tickets were falling.  I don't think she is going to make it much further... she's in great shape but some of these challenges are going to be too challenging for her injury.  I don't think she broke any bones but she probably tore some ligaments.  Either way, it's not looking good for her.

Yes. that was the HOH game on tv. This was for the POV last night.
After Christms got an MRI done on her foot, they did find a broken bone.
So far she is not giving up and wants to continue to play. But you can tell the walking with crutches and her foot hurts and I believe she is getting something for pain because she finally was able to get some sleep before the POV yesterday and Kevin teased her because she was snoring.
She owns her own gym and as a result of that, she is in great shape but I find it hard to see her winning the game with how difficult the comps can be. She can only do so much in her condition.
It's going to be a good show this week and look forward to it.

The POV?  Was that on your DirecTV channel?  BBAD?  I still don't know who won HOH!  You're way ahead of me, I think, Cat!

I hope you were able to watch the show last night to see who won HOH.
I hesitate to write everything I see from watching BBAD because it is up to the latest happenings.
I try to keep that in mind when posting here but it can get confusing.
But I know a lot of people would rather see the show to know what happens rather then spoil it by reading it here.
Has anyone heard from Gran? I can see her watching those live feeds and having lots of fun.
I was happy to see Paul get HOH. There is a lot less tension in the house now.
Cody is not a happy person at all. Neither is Jessica. Kind of sad that they were so harsh while in power.
Also noticed that when Paul got his HOH key, he had  a letter from family etc.
Cody had none of that. No letter or family pictures, that I remember anyways.

I think Cody is nothing but a bully.  He plows his way through every situation and couldn't care less about the casualties and destruction left behind.  I am praying that Paul and the others can convince Ramses to throw the POV challenge.  They would have to convince him that he is UBER safe.  If Ramses wins, he will use it on himself and they will lose a team member (hopefully Josh).  If they can convince him he will be safe, they can use the POV on one of the other two nominees and get Cody up on the block.  I want Cody GONE!

I LOVE this temptation stuff.  It is throwing twists and turns into the game like never before.  Just when you think a plan is safe, a new twist changes everything! 

Aside from the whining and base behavior, I'm enjoying the game play!  I am glad Paul is there but I wish he would stop shouting.   I think Paul is an EXCELLENT player.

Well, after tonight, we will see if Cody makes it back into the BB house.
It will be interesting to see what falls upon the house because of Jessie taking the temptation.
And Julie hinted that it was not going to be the same battle back as last year.
Should be a good show tonight. Looking forward to seeing what happens.  popcorn2.gif

I agree... we get an extra show this week because of this battle back, which makes me happy.  I am REALLY hoping that Cody doesn't make it back.  I know that if he does, the drama goes way up and the audience loves drama - but I do not like this man or his bullying ways.  I was disappointed that Jessica got the last temptation but I understand the drama of it all.  Of course she took the temptation!   I enjoy seeing what the consequences are going to be to the rest of the house.  I was so surprised that she didn't use the temptation last night, which wound up being smart.  She didn't get one vote and I thought she would. 

I think I'm hoping that the blonde girl wins the battle back into the house.  I don't know why.  She or Cameron.  I don't want Dominque back, either, because I don't like her drama and all her crazy gestures.  I thought the "speaking in tongues" praying was a little bit weird.

I'll be thinking of you tonight, Cat, enjoy the show!   bbq21.gif  bbq29.gif  popcorn2.gif  bubblegum.gif

Oh, no!  Now we have to watch Cody incessantly brush his teeth again!

 hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif
It's a wonder he still has whole teeth and not just nubs! Geesch! 
embarrassed.gif The look of Cody in a few years and that is if he is lucky to save those 2 teeth.

I don't know about you but I am loosing interest in BB.
Cody and Jessica are not interesting at all. They are boring and really bring this show down. imho.
Josh and Ramses and Elana are a fast forward on the recording making it easier to see those who are lots more interesting to watch and skip right past them. Hope they get voted out soon so the game can be fun to watch again. Right now it is like nails on a chalk board.
The control of BB Production on this season is front and center making it even less enjoyable.

I have been a fan for many years but this is not what I thought this season would be like.

Even Raven has been telling stories of 2 medical issues and now there is doubt to how valid things are to what she is saying. To be able to play BB, you need to pass medical check up that allows you to be healthy to play. It is not adding up and taking away from the game.

Christmas is the only one with a medical issue, broken foot bones etc, that has shown she is really a hard player and would be fun to watch if this accident on the set did not happen.

I don't know, maybe it's our heat wave that has gotten to me. But even to write about something positive in the game right now is really hard for me to do.

I will be back to post if things improve but if they stay the same, I will be hanging up my hat on this one and look forward to Survivor.

Are you ready to skip this season or do you have the strength and hope to hang in there?

There are definitely people who irritate me but I'm still interested.  The Den of Temptation has brought it up a notch, I think, and I'm sorry there will be no more for the rest of the season.   Cody and Jessica are making me a little nauseous.  They don't play up Raven or Matthew or Elena at all.  I don't really know them.

Final Curtain for me until the winner is announced.  giggle2.gif

I don't know if you're watching anymore, Cat, but did Kevin just use his toothbrush to brush his teeth and then immediately use the same toothbrush to brush his eyebrows, his sideburns and his hair (with the hair product in it) .... and then go immediately back to brushing his teeth?????

vomit.gif vomit.gif vomit.gif vomit.gif vomit.gif vomit.gif vomit.gif vomit.gif

 hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif

I did see that and still laughing. I think he got BB Brain. It finally hit him.

I wonder if he has been doing this all the time and BB just happened to catch him now?

They are all going bonkers in there.

I had hopes he would be one of the final 2 but guess the house has decided to go another way.

I do plan on giving him a vote for Americas Favorite Player so he will win that money. He will be able to add it to the $25,000 he won in the very beginning and walk away with enough to make all of the isolation and abuse he has had to put up with in there. BB should have put in a couple of older players so they could have helped one another and not be cast aside and left alone. He was at least around 30 years older then the rest. 
But he sure was awful in the competitions except that first one so that did not help him either.

Only 3 weeks to go.  I hope he doesn't decide to brush any hair below his neck with that toothbrush!  giggle2.gif

Ewwwww   hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif

Squid.....What was going on tonight? Did everything just blow up on Paul?

I gotta go to my BB boards to see what the heck. I was very sorry to see Jason go.
But glad my ear drums will not be under attack with the screaming and loud voice of Raven.
And Alex sure looks like she is not happy at all. Or Josh either.
I hope Christmas and Paul are not working together to final 2. I gotta investigate and watch BBAD for sure tonight.  no-no.gif

Oh Oh  topsecret.gif   Look a this.....  Christmas talks aloud, alone in the dark HOH room. Does she have feelings for Paul?? Her heart flutters, sometimes it stops. She says she's normally not in a position where her heart gets away from her, and it's getting away from her. She says she knows what she's feeling and it scare her. She watches him in the KT alone, on the TV monitor. She wants to tell people how she feels about them, and is in "purgatory of emotion" because she can't. She says after the show, she'll find out whether or not her heart is broken or healed.

"Paul makes me smile. There's a little nugget of information. *sighs*"

Wow!  You caught some juicy stuff with Christmas.  I am really wondering what is going on with her now.  Time will tell!  I like Paul - I think he's smart and a darn good player.  He has a sense of humor, etc.  I just wish he would stop shouting!

Yes, Paul did some damage tonight with the jury.  This was his mistake last season.  He did, in fact, stay true to his word with Jason and Alex by voting for Kevin but he manipulated the votes so that he knew it would be a tie and he knew how Christmas would break that tie.  His hands were clean but now the jury will know that he made deals with everyone - and you can't be loyal to EVERYONE, eventually.  If he is in the final two, history will probably repeat itself and he won't win.  When Alex -and even Christmas - find out he was playing both ends against the middle, they will be furious, just like Jason was tonight.

I was so happy to hear there will be a Winter BB!  I am wondering what celebs they will get for the show.  This should be fascinating.  I am such a voyeur!  lol

http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/big-brother-team-reveals-celebrity-winter-edition-exclusive/ar-AAru7Ap?li=AA2qN5v&ocid=spartandhp

Being a BB Fan I am also curious as to this celebrity version. And something to watch during the winter to help pass those long cold days. The celebrity part is the worry in a way because I can think of some real annoying people they could put on there like that Spencer and Heidi. Can you imagine how these 2 would behave? And how to you get them to behave?  help.gif  I can hear that recorded voice repeating over and over and over again...Stop That or You are not allowed to talk about your diary room sessons.  giggle2.gif
It will be very interesting to see how things turn out for Paul in the end. I have read so many articles from past BB players who give him lots of credit and feel he has a very good chance to be able to pull this off.
I know Raven flipped her way on stage and my heart was happy to see this one out...finally.
Yes, we still have the loud voice of Paul yet to endure but not for long and it will be over. I do like Paul and then he will do something that I do not like.  Paul is very very smart to be able to do all he has done this year. I wonder if he has any grey hairs growing in that beard of his after all this drama? His mind has to be running all of the time to pull off what he has been able to do.
I agree that there will be more unhappy people to come but this is Big Brother and that money makes all the difference in this game. It's the prize!  I do not know of one person who was there this year that would not do the same thing if they could to get their BB hands on that money.
I'm still thinking of casting my votes for Jason for America Favorite Player.

Oh, also found another piece of juicy info on Jessica. She has been posting she has a surprise for all especially Cody and the guess of most is that she is pregnant! Yep, you read that right. I hope for the sake of all that this is not true and she has a different surprise.
I do not remember seeing her say on the show something about getting married but I did  tune out a lot during that time. Lots of drama this year.

And then we will start on Survivor! Are you a fan of that show?

Yes, I watch Survivor, too.  Those are the only two reality shows I watch. 

I find Jason very likeable and very genuine.  He sure doesn't know when to keep his trap shut, though.  He was spilling the beans left and right.  He is not very cunning and cannot pull off a lie, so he winds up telling all he knows.  Someone like that never makes it to the end.  Good people can win but you have to be a little cunning somewhere along the line. 

Yep, I bet Jessica's pregnant.  When I think of Cody fathering a child with her, I can only see a baby with bugged out demon eyes.  He has some real problems and could use some counseling.  He is emotionally stunted and has real anger issues.  That poor baby.  In the BB contest where they had to hide things in the house, they came upon a boatload of condoms in the bedrooms.  Couldn't Jessica and Cody have practiced safe sex?

I don't really know Spencer and Heidi.  I remember them being in the news for awful behavior and I think they were on a couple of talk shows.  They were in the limelight prior to my voyeuristic tendencies came into being.  LOL.  They should be coming out with a celebrity list soon because it goes on the air in January, I think, and they have to be in the house for approx. 3 months, right?  They might be going in right after this season ends!  I wish they'd use A-list celebrities.  I wouldn't mind watching Brad Pitt and George Clooney taking showers (separately, of course), sudsing up their hair, talking strategy.   giggle2.gif  wow.gif

Oh yes, I was not sure about Jason at first but he sure did grow on me and ended up being a favorite.
His biggest mistake in this game was talking crap one day and he jumped on the let's pick on Kevin band wagon and said he would like to see Kevins' wife sexually assaulted in front of the daughters and then the daughters attacked also. I could not believe what he was saying. He was laughing when saying this stuff but it still was bad. It caused a verbal battle between Kevins wife and Jasons wife on the internet. Kevins wife was very upset about Jason saying those things and Jasons wife apologized but kevins wife refused the apology. I do not think Kevin is going to have a very happy home for a while when he gets there. It really was bad and stupid. He would do and say some of the dumbest things and then other times he had a heart of gold.
The mess you spoke of in the bedroom belonged to Raven and Matt. Used and stuffed in a drawer instead of throwing them away. Weird, nasty and just plain ignorant. Good they used them but why save the dumb things? Did Raven think they would keep the ants away?
But BB has always made sure they had protection provided and on hand for all to use. I have found more on the subject of Jessica and being pregnant and I hope and pray that it is not true. Cody has one child now that I wonder how he supports. He spoke of having a truck that he could not  keep running. Maybe it's all talk for attention for Jessica and I pray that is all it is.
I think I may be confused as to who BB call celebrity players? Do they mean past BB favorite players or George Clooney and Brad Pitt type?
Did you get to see the show tonight? It was pretty good and I thought Kevin may finally win a comp! I wonder if Josh will cause all of Pauls hard work to blow up and Paul not win?
I wonder if there will be peace on finale night with the Jason remarks? I also wonder if Josh family will be able to be there  due to the hurricane in Florida? I think he said he was from Miami but not sure. Lots going on.

Yikes!  Where are you getting this stuff, Cat?  BB After Dark, the feeds? 

If Jason was the one to say that about Kevin's wife, why would Kevin have a rough time when he goes home?  I'm so confused!

I haven't seen last night's show yet, I have it on the DVR


ETA:   why would Josh take all that heat for letting Jason go?  It was a group decision but he's acting like he alone did it and Paul is barking at him like they have had nothing to do with each other... and Josh is letting him.  Sometimes, I am really confused.

Jason is going to have the rough time when he gets out of the BB house. His wife is very upset over his comments and she did try to apologize to Kevins wife but she refused. I should have said Jason rough time and not Kevin.
I think Kevin has been treated very poorly and he and his family too.
I do get a lot of info from BBAD and also get info from reading the boards that have the people who pay for the live feeds and write what is going on. And then there are the TMZ or ET and CBS clips and articles too. Lots of them out there.
This stuff was making it hard to stick with bb for me for a while too. Just too much info that I did not want to know about at all.
The stuff that Jason said about Kevins wife and girls had Alex sitting there too and she was laughing about it all. And here she made such a fuss about that kind of talk when Jessica was pulling her poke in private areas and Alex said how bad that was because of a friend of hers was attacked and it brought back those sad memories. But when Jason was speaking like he did she thought it was funny. She was one who laughed the hardest while Jason was talking. No one called him out on talking that way at all. Talk always was Kevin was liar, floater, not really have that many kids, played old man who could not do a thing and on and on. I don't know how many times I heard how much they hated Kevin and wanted him gone. They would sleep in a different room just to be mean and leave him alone. Kevin has been through so much and this has been very hard to watch.
I think there is only 9 more days to go and it will be done. I would love it if Kevin won this thing.
As hard as Paul has worked to win and all he has done, I no longer want him to win. But when youu read articles from the past winners, they are all saying Paul is playing a great game. 

Last nights show is good. I think you will enjoy it.

Josh is just Josh. He says yes to something but then he has second thoughts. When you watch last nights show, you will see him in the apple room talking to Paul and the look Josh gets on his face. He really does seem to get so wishy washy and it is so hard to figure him out.
You are right. He was asked in a group meeting if he wanted to do it and Christmas said she would do it and Josh said no. He wanted to do it. But then he got crazy.

These last days are going to be interesting and drama-filled!

I gotta say I am looking forward to the end and see who wins what.  And move on to Survivor.  popcorn2.gif

I always am sad when the ending comes.  I want more.  I think that's why I'm glad about the celebrity version this winter.  Hope it's good.

I can understand how you feel about it ending. But, I gotta admit this year was tough for me to hang in there. And I am glad some of the people got voted out so it got to be better for me to come back to watch again.

I see there are no live feeds until wednesday at 9. I'm a little confused about that because the show is on tv before that right? Or is it at 9 for tv too. It's gonna be a busy night.

I am not looking forward to the celebrity one because of there only being 2 people so far that are not obnoxious. Natalie was on bad girls club and New York has been on many shows and both could make or break BB for good depending.  giggle2.gif

Have you seen the Comic books that have been released of the evicted house guests yet?

I haven't seen the comics, must be funny.  I don't know these celebs so I'm trying to go in with an open mind.  If it gets too obnoxious, I'll walk away

Paul is a force to be reckoned with.  I was playing along with the HOH competition and I got them all right, too!  I really like Alex but from a strategic standpoint, getting rid of her was a smart move.  Maybe Christmas should go next.  If Paul, Josh and Kevin are left as the final three, Paul has a better chance of winning.  Kevin floated through the game, Josh was nothing but a whiny baby and Paul played pretty brilliantly even though he lacks trust from others at this point.  If Christmas stays as the final three, Paul might not fare as well.   

Paul is now HOH and gets to compete for the final HOH, too!  That's pretty great from a game perspective.

Well, I was really happy to have the option to record BBAD because it showed the 3 of them sleeping almost the whole 3 hours last night.  giggle2.gif  I let it record and worked on Pogo and getting the Sol Gardens levels. When I went to see if they ever did wake up, I saw about the last 20 minutes of them talking a little here and there but was not able to make out much of what they were saying.
I was able to hear Christmas say her left arm and hand was going to take a month to get back to feeling better again. I did not hear if her foot was okay. Josh woke up and was at energy level 5 and Christmas and Paul were asking him to tone it down to level 1. Paul was pretty tired and showed no intention of getting out of bed to mingle. He layed there while Christmas, who was sleeping in same bed, was putting her fingers through his hair. I need to go check around to see what happened.
CBS is messed up with the vote for Americas Favorite Player. Lots of complaints because votes are not going through as people report. I tried several times to get my votes in for Kevin but I noticed the same thing. I hope BB fixes this issue in time to get the votes to count the way they are being voted. Gee...I wonder if it's the Russians again? First the votes for president and now Big Brother?  watching you.gif nono.gif
I do hope Paul does win. He worked hard to do all he did.
And I really like Alex and she was a beast in the comps. I agree with you that she had to go.
This will be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

As well as they worked together and as much as I like both of them, either Paul or Alex had to take the other one out at some point.  The chips just fell in a manner that allowed Paul to make the move.  Paul deserves this win, I think.    I am not voting for Kevin for favorite.  I don't think he played the game well at all.  I think he was kept around because he wasn't much of a threat.  I think Alex and Jason were completely likable and played very well.  I'd like one of them to get favorite.  Wouldn't it be funny if Cameron won it?  hehehe

I like that there is the option to vote for who you feel deserve it. Nice feature that allows everyone to have input in the one they liked best.
I have noticed at a couple of the places for vote information that Cody is in the lead.
It will be interesting to see who does win it.

Josh was talking into the camera like they are talking to the people watching and he is seriously making a decision NOT to take Paul if he is the one with the choice. And tonight he even mentioned taking Christmas because she played the second HOH game today so hard and tried so hard. I won't say who got what so it doesn't spoil it for when it comes on for the show.
But the thinking of the posters is that Paul maybe should have decided to take Kevin for a sure win and not trusting Josh so much. It was a big surprise to me to see Josh was even talking about not going with Paul. He thinks he could get the bigger prize money if he went with Christmas. So, Paul is getting hints of Josh thinking this way and he is stressed big time. Josh just talks without thinking and when he will say something about would it be better for Josh to not go with Paul, Paul just looks at him and asks what are you talking about? What do you mean? And then Josh will realize what just came out of his mouth and tries to cover what he said with something different but Paul is smart. And stressed!
So it looks like it is not a sure thing for Paul until we get to the end of what will happen.
Christmas has not said who she would take if she ended up being the one to pick. So there is no hint at all who she would decide on. My opinion is Christmas would pick Paul. But looks like an interesting week. There is 2 of the 3 HOH comps complete now. We all know Paul won the first one. The second one was completed today. So we wait for number 3.

Cameron was a very different guy. Christmas kept calling him Malcom for some reason. Everyone would laugh and say that name fit him better then his own. It was a shame he got booted so early. But I don't think Cameron will win it. He is very low on the charts with the voting numbers.  The poor guy never got to play and get known by the others.
It would be a big shock if he did win.  giggle2.gif

I think anyone taking Paul to the end would be stupid.  Paul may have made some people angry because of his maneuvering and manipulating but, in the past, I've seen those angry people vote for players like that simply because they were so good at the game and that in and of itself deserves respect.  I would vote for Paul if any of these three were in the final.  Paul has to out perform his remaining competitors in order to stay in the game, I think.  Loyalty in this game is all well and good but, EVENTUALLY, everyone has to be disloyal. 

If Josh wins this game, I will be VERY disappointed.  He is so immature and was so irritating.  He did not play the game at all until about a month ago.  At first, it was as though he were a deer in the headlights.  Then, about a month ago, it was as though he woke up and started thinking about the game and strategy.  All the screaming, the meatball talk, the pot banging, the causing of fights with others, etc. showed me how little emotional maturity this guy has.  He started fights like an 8 year old and when the fight was over would go to a corner and cry because someone said mean things to him.  He started the crap, what does he expect??  Not my favorite.

If Paul doesn't win, I hope Christmas wins.  She played the game but was much quieter about it.  How she has survived this long with that foot is incredible.  I know this has nothing to do with anything.... but I hate really dislike her name.  UGH!

Wednesday should be interesting, very interesting.

Survivor is starting.  We'll have to compare notes, Cat!

Very well said. Everything is spot on.

I keep thinking about Josh and if his family was in the path of Harvey and lost everything and if all ok? This is the only reason why I would feel bad if he did not get at least 2nd place for the money to help his family. But this is not really a good reason at all. Every one of those people have a need for that money and so to say Christmas doesn't need to win because she has money is not fair either. If Paul does not win first place, I do hope Christmas wins too. Her and Paul together at the end and let the jury decide who gets what after the questions and answers.

This end part of the game is always a let down for these drawn out days of waiting but will be good to move on. Survivor is on my going to watch list for sure. And it would be fun to do this again with that show. It's fun to compare feelings with another.

I wonder when we will see Gran again? She has to be in her glory watching those live feeds and getting to see first hand what is going on. It will be nice to see her back and posts again.
I miss her.

Come back, Gran, we'd love your input!

I'll start a new Boob Tube thread about Survivor after the first show.  It takes me forever to learn everyone's names for some reason so get ready for lots of:  "The guy with the red hair said... blah blah blah", or "The girl with the butterfly tattoo is sneaky!".  LOL, I start getting the names straight about 2/3 through the season. 

See you here on Wednesday, Cat!

Computer had to have work done on it but all fixed up.....for now.
I can use the ipad to browse but not play at Pogo at all. So I really miss this computer.
I am just like you in trying to remember all the players at the start of Survivor.
So the way you describe them will be much better for me to know who you're talking about also.

I look forward to the finale at Big Brother tonight. I watched the 3 of them fall asleep in the same bed last night. Kind of sad.....they got to be a few new friends and now I won't see them every night anymore.

I think I need to get out more.

I will look for your new Survivor thread.

Finale tonight!

I will NEVER understand how they voted Cody as America's favorite houseguest.  NEVER!

I think the Jury was voting emotionally and vengefully.  Paul is right... his stats were there:  powerful player, had his hand in MANY decisions, won a lot of competitions, got everyone rallying around him, was never on the block, etc., etc., etc.   They were just mad because they didn't get to the end.  I'm always astounded that the houseguests are so angry in a game that is specifically designed to lead to disloyality.  They are always shocked to actually see it.  It's all ego.  Paul should have won and they were petty about it.  Josh played in the end but he was nowhere near the caliber of Paul, imo.

Paul was shocked... did you see his face?

Julie Chen said they got over fifteen million votes. The most ever in BB history for AFP. Cody got AFP a big part due to Jessica being on the internet 24/7 begging for votes for him. But then on the show, she did say Paul should be the winner after she was able to watch the show during the time the players were either still in the game or Jury house.
He's a Vet. So many reasons were being posted and I even posted that here about him being in the lead to win.
I had hopes for Kevin but no one really knew unless you were an avid fan that Kevin has never watched one BB show. Did not have a clue what he was getting in to with this game. He did not even apply to be on the show and have to stand in those long lines and fill out applications.
BB had their people approach him, like they have done in the past, and asked him into coming on the show and he did it. The guy didn't even know what to wear and brought suits. Instead of the more casual summer type of clothes.
But of the top 3 people on the list of top votes, Cody, Jason and Kevin, I am surprised that Jason did not get that award. But, it's Big Brother and there is no way to be sure of anything.
And Kevin was smart enough to go for the $25,000 in the beginning competition. At least he did get that. The same as the AFP got.

I did see Paul's face and I wonder how much friendship is going to be there with Josh after Josh put his spin on how he played the game and why he did all the right things and won and never spoke well of Paul and only pointed blame towards him. Lack of character all the way.
I swear Paul was even asking Josh when the breaks for commercials were coming on about how the heck he was saying what he did over and over in his diary room sessions. Paul did the work and put up with that cry baby and the jury was poor loser's and gave it to Josh. Plain and simple.

Paul and Josh and Christmas had made plans these past couple of weeks of getting together and going to Paul's house and having a party and going places and Paul was going to do things for Josh for his business to help him. He said he was going to load him up with his shirts if there were any left and other merchandise he sells. It will be interesting to see how this will work out now.

Paul was too good at the game. Even Mark, the main person who really got into the worst times with Josh, voted for Josh to win. Made no sense to a lot of people. My phone is ringing off the hook right now from my fellow BB watchers and I know they are not happy. But I will put off calling them back until later and plan a BB Bash at one of our local places where we can get something to eat and hash this all out. It's fun to be able to talk about this stuff in person.

And I did say that I needed to get out more. What a season.

I do hope Paul never plays this game again and moves along. He has to take Big Brother up on the mental help they provide players to get over the panic attacks and back into real life again. And in his case, to be able to accept and move on and have his successful life. He is smart and has businesses and his band and travels to see many of his fans. I wonder how many will do as much for Josh and what fans he will have. He was so obnoxious and loud and pester like a 4 year old child. Starts fights and then when he is not winning the argument, he would cry. That money is going to be gone in no time with very little to show for it My sad forcast and hope I am wrong. Unless his family was in the path of Harvey and had a lot of damage to their home and property loss. But at least we will not have to see this combination anymore and we can move on too.

Am i bitter and sad about the way the show went....yes.  But I am glad it is over and done.

I would never go with my friends to see Cody  or Josh if they were coming to a town near me but I would go to see Paul. And Christmas too.

And a little side note. Julie Chens husband cut her pay by half, I think it said. I have not found out the reason but that was a bit of a surprise. So there were a lot of crazy things going on around that show this year.

The happiest people from Big Brother are the ones who had to watch the house guests and have come to the end of keep repeating...stop that....stop singing...you're not aloud to talk about your diary room sessions and I bet Josh was the top person who got told over and over one of these things multiple times daily, I have much respect for those people who have to put in the days and hours to keep the show going while having a juvenile cry baby constantly baby sat. And there were more then just him that tarnished the show. So sad.

All done Squid. I Hope Survivor will be much better. It usually is and a lot harder too. The End.

You said it, Sistah!
