Earlier today someone asked Dan why was he acting like he didn't know if he was going to use the POV. He said he was told to do that to make it interesting for the TV show.
My question is do you think that there are people that only watch the CBS show three nights a week and have no idea what is really going on?
I personally don't. With the live feeds, BBAD and all the internet sites, I think everyone knows the outcome of each TV show. It's a different world today and you can get info in a sec. The producers try to sway the audience to think that it could go a certain way. We all know the outcome. What do you think? Do you think there are people who just go by the TV show? Do you know anyone that does that?

Most of the people I know that actually follow BB ONLY watch the TV show and even though they could watch BBAD, they choose not to. They choose not to subscribe to the feeds or read the BB sites online. They would prefer that I am very careful with them also, as they don't want me to spoil the shows or what's happening in the house for them.

Shocking but true - there are a tremendous amount of BB viewers that are show-only.

ETA: I think there are two different BB shows - the one that I follow and the one that they follow. lol

I do believe that happens. How else do you explain the people they cast as Houseguests every year? They don't know there is night vision. They think only CERTAIN cameras are for internet. They supposedly are Big Brother fans and yet they think it is "creepy" that people watch 24/7.

I also think, the people who like us, actually are online reading websites like TVCH, watching BBAD, buying Live Feeds, are not the people that they choose to cast. Yes, there are exceptions but it isn't the rule. They don't want people who understand the system.

I don't know many people personally that actually come online to find out the "inside scoop" on BB. Just MHO.
I think there are more people than you know that just rely on the TV show to get their info.

I only have one friend that watches BB. He's also an avid computer user like me, plus he gets Showtime and BBAD like I do.

He watches every episode on TV (he's watched every season since it started) but he never checks any BB message boards and he doesn't have the live feeds. He knows about 10% of what I know about what's going in the house because I come here to TVCH.

In fact, he only watches his TIVO'd BBAD when I tell him about something fun happening that I read about here....and then he FF to the part of BBAD where the "action" is!

There have been lots of times he expressed admiration for a HG and then I told him what was really happening and he is shocked.

Wow! Thanks for your comments. I had no idea. I really thought that everyone knew the outcomes.
I guess some people want to be surprised (Not like us, we're too nosy! LOL). It's just what they show on TV is so different than what really happened. They do some crazy editing! Oh well, I was wrong again LOL! Thanks again!!!

I'm with the rest, Lorry. Most of the people who I know only watch the show.

My mother simply loves BB, but she only watches the show. She tried to watch BBAD, but it was too late for her and she'd always be asleep before it even began and then would wake up in the middle of the night to porn and that freaked her out, so she doesn't watch BBAD at all anymore.

She does love to be spoiled, however, and I tell her everything. She has a completely different view of the HGs than I do and even when I tell her things, like Ollie and April's escapades, she finds it hard to believe. Then they'll show some snippet on the show and she'll say, well...you were right. (Of course I'm right, Mother, I've been watching it 24/7)
She always asks what the peeps here on the board are saying and I sometimes print some of the pages when we're having a rollicking time in Live Feeds so she can read them. She especially loves the pics that folks post.

Other friends watch the show and get a small kick out of talking about it.
But ALL of my friends and family know that summer is BB for me. No trips. Few parties. Don't bug me!

My sister only watches the show and will ask me what I think and I always say do you wanna know and she says NO!!
Then I have two friends that will call and ask what't going on cause they only watch the show.

I have friends at work who only watch the show too. But knowing that I am on this board every single day when BB is on, they do ask me what's going on. If they had to find out on their own I think they would just watch the show and never truly know what happens, only what CBS shows them.

I am glued to this board (mostly a lurker) the whole season of BB, also watch the show & BBAD. No feeds (not sure why) DH watches the show & on occasion BBAD. Never hits the boards. We have different slants on the houseguests & I fill him in whenever possible. But i don't "spoil" results for him.

I'm the only one in my house that follows pretty much everything on BB. My DH and DD only watch the show and don't want me to tell them anything. My DD will sometimes ask but not usually.
Most of my friends only follow the show, too.

ETA- But if BB really editted something I'll say something about it after its aired on the show, never before.

there have only been 2 players on Big Brother (not counting All Stars) that actually had participated in forums and watchced feeds. That was Evil Dick and his daughter Daniele.

Add another TVCH member who knows lots of folks who only watch the TV show. That includes mom, siblings, friends, many of whom are online, who have Showtime, etc.

What's weird is that most know that they're only seeing a *spun* version of the house events and don't really care. They DON'T want to be spoiled with who won HoH, PoV, etc. Sometimes one of them will ask every once in a while if X really went down that way, and if i tell them about a really significant event a couple will look it up on YouTube, but they seem to be content to catch the highlights (and accept BB's version of events).

I have three people at work who watch, one doesn't ever want to be spoiled so I am very careful what I say around here, but funny thing is she guessed who Renny put up correctly, LOL. The other two sometimes want to know, so I tell the info they are interested in.

Even though DH says he's "hooked" on BB, he only watches the TV show. Sometimes he'll ask what's going on, but mostly he tells me what he thinks will happen and doesn't want to know (noms, POV, POV used? etc.), and sometimes he HAS to know...lol
I love it when he's soooooo wrong. It really is amazing how different the show is vs. reality.

My friends ONLY watch the CBS show, but they count on me to spoil everything for them! They loved Jessie 'til I set 'em straight. The houseguests count on people only watching the editted CBS show, every season HGs talk about how they are 'cast,portrayed, characterized, etc,' forgetting that "WE" dedicated die-hards watch the feeds, watch BBAD and know exactly how they TRULY are, no 'editting' to blame...

I thought Janelle talked about BBQ and Jokers as well----I, too, have a friend who is "addicted" to BB, BUT ONLY watches the CBS version---I call her clueless. She LOVED James and thought he was so sweet...now I like James, but I certainly wouldnt use the word "sweet" to describe his game play. My friend used to NEVER want me to fill her in on the live feed and message board action, and like someone else just said, COULD NOT believe what I was telling her about Ollie and April, now that CBS showed some of their "showmance" she wants me to spill all the season's scoop.

I thought Erika and Janelle talked about them in All-Stars but not during their original seasons...
