Lexie_girl, I was born and raised in Theriot! My dad's home was flooded by Rita. His house is on Dr. Beatrous Rd., about a mile from Falgout Canal Landing. I guess it's true when they say it's a small world after all! I'm wondering if I know your friend.

Hi all, I'm sunni from Kansas. I'm 59 and 350 days old. I'm like a bad penny.....if it's BB time, here I am!! I've been watching since Season 1...when BB was really BB. I'm married with 2 kids from my first marriage, 3 step kids and 4 step grands (with one on the way). I can't stand not knowing what is going on so I come here first thing in the morning to read what happened the night before. I try to watch BBAD but by 11:00...this old lady is starting to get tired. I guess that's about all. I don't post much but read a lot.

Mostly a lurker, but have posted on occasion. I am in Alabama. Roll Tide Roll. Thanks to all of the live posters. I also read the posts before watching the show.

Grannygirl - I'm sure you would know my friend and his family. His family was born and raised in Theriot/Houma. While I don't know the street names in Theriot, when you cross that bridge in Houma, you take that road about 5-10 miles straight down alongside the bayou to get to their house. After Rita, his wife (who is from New York), was done with life on the bayou and they repaired their house, sold it, and have since moved to Houma.

Hey Everyone! Pennsylvania represented here. I live little suburb about 11 miles outside of center city Philadelphia. I'm 47, married for 26 yrs, 3 kids 19-25, and one cute , sweet, lovable, can't get enough of her granddaughter! I love scrapbooking and directing children's theatre. I've been lurking around TVCH since BB2, too intimidated to post. You guys are so awesome at it. This summer I am determined to post more than "all houseguests sleeping".

Lexie_girl- Can't say that I blame her! Daddy passed away last August and now we are trying to sell his house. My siblings and I don't live on the bayou anymore and it's too much for us to keep up. Can you give me a last name of your friend? Just curious

Hi everyone. I am from beautiful Ottawa, the capital of Canada. I joined the first season when Neil started this site. There was an article in our local paper and I logged on to TVCH and never left, although I don't post often. Hard to believe it has been 9 years! I retired in 2006 and returned to university to complete a degree in linguistics. We spend most of the summer at the cottage in West Quebec. It is a lovely life but don't have a computer there so whenever we come to town for a day or two I catch up on what is going on in the house as it is frustrating to only watch the TV show. Looking forward to this season ... makes the summer go by really fast! Alison

Hi Everyone! I'm from sunny Southern California. I started lurking and occasionally posting here back in BB2, when I got my first internet capable computer. I've had a number of screennames here over the years-I kept forgetting my login info in the "off season". Even if I don't post often I do come in and read every day and often into the night...I'm going to work on posting more this year. A little bit about me-I'm in my late 40's and I'm a married mom of 5 (only 3 still live at home), I homeschool the youngest 3, including one son with Autism. After 8 years my family knows that I'm going to be at the computer way too much during the summer. Last summer I took my laptop on vacation with us so I could read the message boards and check up on the houseguests every day. I'm feeling hopeful about this season...after BB9 I was just about ready to hang it up and find a new summer hobby.

Greetings from Almost Heaven,WV. I found this site by accident 7 years ago. While I am a fan of BB,I have never had the feeds,I do watch BBAD on the weekends only as I am early riser to work 7 AM to 3 PM. I am a single female, over 45 O) who lives in Morgantown, WV and works at West Virginia University. An avid reader, political news junkie and crime tv junkie as well as a Master Gardener and a WVU football and Pittsburgh Steeler fan. Currently as a summer project I am planning to have the interior of my townhouse painted, add solar shades to a very sunny room as well as new drapes. As a reward for hitting the gym I "let" myself log onto to TCH. I am looking forward to seeing how the HG's interact with one another.

Hi all! My name is Teresa, and I am most vocal when my favorite HG is on (Danielle, BB3 and All Stars..). When I was pregnant with my third child two years ago I lived on this site during the night when I couldn't sleep. I live in Central NY with my husband, three kids, and Chloe the beagle. The last couple of seasons I've mostly just lurked. Not sure why!

Hey guys! I've been lurking here since Janie and Howie! However, I have only posted a few times.I only post when I really have something to say. Like right now! I am from Metairie(about 10 minutes from New Orleans) so I had to jump in on the Louisiana bandwagon.I find Renny to be amusing but I don't want the world to think that she represents all of New Orleans. Most of us don't talk like that or act like that! Oh, I also have to jump in on the 40's bandwagon too. I am 41.I am excited that BB time is here again but I haven't been getting much done.My teenager wanted BBAD. I got it last night and I am extremely concerned about the shows that are on. Did anyone tune in last night a few minutes early? My eyeballs were popping! I'm not sure how long I'll keep showtime.I would rather not have my son's eyeball popping too!

Hi people! I am an occasional poster but more of a lurker here since BB3. I am a 35 yr old mom of 2 boys originally from Maine but living in South Carolina now. I am here for BB and don't venture around the site for much of anything else lol..I love reading all the posts, enjoy the difference of opinions and keeping up to date on the latest happenings in the house, since I don't have live feeds this year(but have to my BBAD)!

Hi everybody! I'm Alyssa, a 16 year old from Mississippi. I just joined TVCH today actually, but I have been lurking the boards for 3 seasons now, catching up on all my missed episodes along with the happenings that they don't show us all on tv. I also watch BBAD until atleast 12 every night. I feel like I am the youngest one here lol, but I'm okay with that if you all are

Hi, I used to get all my info here but ventured out to Jokers and SS during BB8 for the first time ever. SS is not for the timid and honestly the only attraction was following Eric and Dicks family insight which I found fascinating, I never posted there though. I tried to follow Jokers for BB9 but they are just too hard to follow, good news was I didn't have that much interest in BB9 so it didn't matter. I am already more interested in BB10 so I want to participate here cause you guys have I think the best info. I will have to restructure how I say things since Jokers let's you say what you want, but, I do believe I can do that. Anyway, I hope I can contribute here in some way.

There you Granny. I have no doubt that my friends from that area are probably your relatives - LOL!!! My friends pronounce their name "Champaun - not the way the beverage is pronounced. I was probably staying at the house of one of your cousins during my Katrina evacuation tour.

Hi All, Seattle here! I'm a 70 year old mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, and Huge BB Fan since season 1. I'm so glad they are getting back to basics this season. The twists & wannabe HG of the past few seasons were a bit to much. I'm loving it so far this year. When I first registered I meant for my user name to be "Sunbreaks" (here in the great NW sunbreaks is a beautiful word to us). Oops.. thanks to a typo, I became sunbeaks instead.

That's it... ChamPINE!!!!You are right, we are practically family. ETA: BTW Granny, I felt so bad when they got hit by Rita. It was a month after Katrina and I obviously had my own issues to deal with and felt frustrated that I couldn't help them out. The fall and winter of 2005 were the absolute worst four months of my life (as well as anyone who went through Katrina and Rita).
