Hi, I'm Rhonda 57 yrs old and I live in Missouri. My husband and I will be married 35 years next month. My husband retired from the Navy after 22 years. We have a daughter, Kelly who's 26 years old and a son, Michael, 22 years old and neither are married. I've watched BB since BB2. My daughter and I love reality shows, Project Runway, Next Top Model, Shear Genius along with Survivor, Amazing Race. My son and husband watch more Amazing Race and Survivor than BB but they both keep up with it.
My daughter and I are big hockey fans, we get center ice and have non stop hockey games during hockey season.

Can't wait for BB to begin!!!

Hello all... I've watched since BB1. BB is why and how I found this site. I didn't watch the winter season I just didn't find the cast remotely interesting or entertaining, I was disappointed.

I'm married and have 2 adult kids, 1 cat and 1 dog. I love to travel and music is a big part of my life, when I watch TV it's mostly all "reality". Ya can always find me om my myspace www.myspace.com/ilsejerry

It was neat to read this thread.

Hey ya'll, my name is Kristi and I am 36 years old. I have been watching BB since season 3. I was soooo anti-reality, but my sister begged me to start watching it. I remember the first time I watch it and they were voting Amy back into the house and they had an endurance comp for HOH where they sat in a tub with icky things being thrown in there. After that I was hooked, and googled to see if anyone was actually talking about this show, and low and behold I found TVCH! My BF does not understand why I am hooked, but I make him watch it anyway. I think he secretly likes it, but will never ever admit to it. But I recently started a new accounting job where EVERYONE watches it and I am soooo excited!

Me and my bf have been together for 5 years. I have no children, other than my BF's son who is 7 which we have every other weekend except for August where we will get him for a month, yay! We do have a cat named Ruffles and a boxer named Detour. I had gastric bypass surgery last year, and have lost a ton of weight, which I am still getting use to, lol. I am 20 lbs from my goal weight and hope to hit it before summer. I have been biking a lot the past 6 months and got instantly hooked. I do about 10 miles a day, and really want to start to try running after I hit goal.

The only other vice I have besides BB is I am a die-hard gamer. It's hard to admit because of my age, lol but my BF got me hooked. *hugs her Xbox tightly* I will play anything, but mostly MMORPG's and my Rockband! Yes, I am the screamer on a team on Xbox Live. And now thanks to the peeps in Free Expression I am now getting hooked on Runescape , lol!

It's weird, but I am an infrequent poster that feels like I am regular, because I read all the posts here every season and I say things in my head to all of you. LOL!
Big shoutout to Roteach. We knew each other years ago on an AOL Guiding Light board. It's good to see you again. (I was LJack there). Sue (Cillysue), I am misting up, having read your website. I hope you find peace about your daughter. It is more than I think I could bear.
I have been a third grade teacher for 28 years in a suburban town in Ohio, and love my job. I am counting down to retirement, because I will be young enough to do something else when I retire, which is so exciting to me. I just don't know what yet. Possibly mission work somewhere in the world. I have been to Russia on a short term mission trip, teaching English at a camp to young people. It was wonderful. I have three sons, ages 26, 24, and 22. I find this unreal as I am still 24 in my head. My oldest is in law school at Penn in Philadelphia. My middle son is a member of the Air Force. He just returned from somewhere in the Middle East (I am not allowed to know where). He goes every few months and returns for a few months, so it is good to have him in the USA right now. My youngest will be a senior at a local college this fall, majoring in marketing and sales. Since they grew up, I find that I have boodles of time to watch BB and I am excited that we are getting back to basics this season. I am not into "naked" BB.

Hi, I'm Kary (53) from Northern Ohio, and a long time TVCH'er.

I was a lurker during BB1, joined just before 9-11. It was after 9-11 when I realized what a great asset TVCH was, as this was the place to get information quick and fast and stay connected to others during a time when we all felt so much.

I've met some TVCH people and have had rousing discussions in many areas here. I still lurk when things in my life are hectic...but I've been a steady member since I started. TVCH members have been here for me during the really rough times in my life, offering advice and support. I know I can post a problem here and get compassionate, helpful responses.

My favorite thread is BB...WOO HOO, and I cannot WAIT for Sunday.

BTW... I ordered Showtime for the first time and am all set to record BBAD. I did the feeds once, but found that with my addiction to BB, having the feeds just cuts too much from my life. I think I have more control with just utilizing TVCH and recorded shows.

I love it here...always have... and more than likely...always will. TVCH'ers ROCK!!

PS. Gamer here also... Zelda RULES!!!

Hi, my name is Dorothy. I've been married for 9 years and have 2 sons, ages 8 and 5 (that's where my posting name comes from ) I've been a stay-at-home mother for 8 years and looking forward to finding a job soon LOL, since my youngest will start school full time in Sept. I have been a BB fan since the 1st season but didn't find tvch til last year! Wasn't on the computer much, but am hooked now. Looking forward to Sunday & getting the live feeds again. It drives me crazy because I am on the east coast so the hg don't get up til 1pm!
I almost forgot, I am 38 years old, have 3 sisters and am a twin!

Hi, I'm Terry (51) from Texas. Happily married for the 2nd time. 1 step son, 34 with a 2 yo daughter, 1 son, 30, he does non invasive testing. A daughter, 24, in US Air Force. She is in her 6th year and just reenlisted and heading overseas soon.

I have been here since early into BB1. I lurked till about the end of BB2. Each year I creep out a little more to other places here, finding lots of great and supportive friends. Recently quit smoking with lots of support here. I usually gain weight during BB so I am hoping this year to do the opposite and lose weight since I put on 30lbs since quitting smoking.

I would love to meet some other TVCH'ers in real life.

Cillysue2, my heart goes out to you and I pray you recieve some peace and closure soon. It is a parents worst nightmare.I wish there was something I could do. Shoot, if you could come up with one thing that could be done, you would have US lining up at your door to do it. ((((Cillysue2))))

Hi, I'm on the west coast of Canada in BC. I'm in my 40's and work in cancer research. I have one big senior male fat cat who is very dominant and high maintenance but he keeps me on my toes (we are still trying to figure out who is the boss)!

I found this site by accident during BB2 and have lurked for many years but have read the posts religiously since then! I've had the live feeds once (in 2003) and I’m debating it this year... though I'm working on my degree on the side… so yikes... still not sure!

Debra and all others - thanks for your post screencaps - that's my favourite thread!

Cillysue2 - I checked out your website... so sorry for your loss!!! Brought tears to my eyes!

Hi there! Dawn from Seattle here. I'm a teacher and single mom of a now 21 year old girl. I've been a loyal lurker and a very occasional poster since the early days, don't remember which season I discovered the site (I think 2) but it (and all of you) have been an integral part of my BB experience ever since.
I'm 49 years old, and while I'm very optimistic about the hg's so far this year I was really hoping for at least some representation from the 40-something crowd in the house! How about an attractive 40-something guy for a change (have we ever had one of those)?? As the one 'mature' woman in the house this year, I have high hopes that Renny will do the job with great style! :-)

Hey everyone, Im Sylvia from Georgia. Im 41 yrs old and Married to a Soldier for 21 years. We have 3 kids 15 and 13 the twins are b/g and the oldest is a boy. We have 1 cat too. Anyway I've been a fan of BB since BB2 and I first joined TVCH during season 3 under the name Synamom2k and rejoined a few yrs later as Shoe_diva1966 because I am a LOVER of Shoes. Im having surgery on the 24th and will spend the rest of the summer glued to this computer, showtime after dark and Youtube. I will not subscribe to real again, I did that for the past 3 or 4 yrs and realized I can watch whats interesting for free on youtube. Anyway hope to chat with you all again soon :-)

Hello My name is Lisa and I am a BB Addict...
and a TVCH addict. I start may day by looking on the home page to see what is going on. I love the live feeds and have head phones so the rest of the family doesn't have to hear because they can have potty mouth but I can't help the addiction so I listen. Didn't so much this last winter because it was too much...well just too much.
I have 3 kids. A 19 year old son, a 17 year old daughter and a 10 year old daughter. The 10 year old will pretend interest in BB but My dh just laughs and lets me enjoy. I live in N. Cal not far from Sacramento.
Looking forward to a new season with much anticipation.

Hi! Toni here. I am 46 shhhhhhhhhh living in Crosby, Texas. I have for the most part (99%) been a lurker in here. So thanks to you all for all the BB live feed info that can be found here. I am divorce for several years now and no children. I do have a wonderful niece (see boberg’s 24yo) and 3 wonderful nephews (one is bobergs‘s 30yo). Hi sis, yes boberg and I are sisters.
I have been lurking in this site since BB3. I started watching BB midway through BB2, only because my sister, boberg, was working the night shift and sometimes would ask me to record BB show. Me not being overly techno, I would have to, watch it, to record it, and I have been watching ever since. All stars was the first time for me to have live feeds and when that show ended, you talk about withdraws. I had it bad. I am excited to get this “show” on the road again. Let The Party Begin.

Hi, Julie here, live in Nova Scotia, Canada, (I have been asked which state it is in lol) no pets , 4 kids, married 31 years. Here since near the end of BB1.

I like to chat about the characters and sometimes get carried away with my likes or mostly dislikes of the hamsters. Not really impressed with this so called diverse cast, throw in one old man and call it a big change. Anyway I am hooked so I will watch.

Hi everyone! My name is Marsha. Just turned 56 a few weeks ago. I live with my husband in the suburbs of Baltimore. We just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in May. I have been a lurker here since BB6. I would check in to find out what I had missed all day while at work. That was the first year I had live feeds also. I feel like I already know some of you just by reading your posts. This really is the best site. Oh by the way, forgot to mention I have 3 great kids...2 sons and a daughter. All grown and married. My oldest son is in Iraq. My youngest son and his wife are expecting their first...we are on baby watch...due in Sept. My daughter lives in Ohio and she is a BB fan too.

Hi everyone. I've watched every season of BB except BB9. Looking forward to this summer's fun. At least I hope it will be fun. I swore I wouldn't watch again after BB8 but once an addict always an addict, I guess.

Hello all. I am Laura, 56, from California. I have been lurking around here since BB2 and have had several different screen names because I can never remember them or my passwords. I work in the courts and I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a Shih Tzu named Isabella. (she's more human than dog) I love BB and TV Clubhouse. I just subscribed to the feeds and am looking forward to Sunday.

I find it SO interesting that the target demo for BB is 18-34. We are, according to this thread, for the most part, in our 40's and 50's and over!

i just love that.

Hi everybody!!! I'm Kathy...been here since BB1 but with a different name which I don't remember...glad this one stuck. I'm close to the tip end of my 40's and a 5th grade teacher in FAR west Texas. I have no human children but am the proud mother of a 2 1/2 year old silver Choodle named Chloe Belle-Pepper. I'm still the only one in my little BB fan circle who gets the feeds so it's my duty to keep my mom and friends from liking the wrong houseguests. Sunday can't get here soon enough for me!

Hi all I am Jean & am 45. DH & I are both big time BB fans, in fact once BBAD starts we sleep in our living room by the TV so as not to miss a moment of the fun...no kids just two spoiled rotten to the core dogs. I am "guilty" of getting 3 of my employees hooked on BB (one even applied for BB10, no call back so we are hoping BB11 will be her time)
I have been watching BB since the first year when my DH's then 80 year old step grandpa got us started on it (yep he is still watching it)

Hiyall, I'm Cris ,36, from Missouri. I've been married to my hubby for 17 years and we have two kids 16,13. We're licensed foster parents and love doing it even with all the mess. We both work outside the home too.

I've been here at TVCH since bb1, Dr. Will is my favorite all time player. I've never missed a season, or show, and I love coming here to read everyone's thoughts and comments. I've finally ventured to other parts of the board (Mainly Lost) and spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME on here when BB is on! :-)
