LOL We don't know that they are doing this because of Chima's threats though.

Maybe they have it 'not live' so that they can egg her on if she does NOT go nuts! Heh!

If they have an All Stars 2 and invite Jesse, I'll skip the season. Twice is more than enough Ronnie annoys but I think he'd tone it down for a second chance. No way he'd get away with pulling the same stuff twice

I don't know about loading the audience or if this is really about Chima. I tend to think it's the time length of the CDE situation. It's different then telling someone in the DR how to vote quickly. They have to first have the revealing of the Coup, then the new nominations then a vote then a new HOH comp. I think it has some to do with time. Perhaps the Chima issue was just dumb luck that it wouldn't be live so they could edit her as well but if this was done faster they might has just let it ride and taken a gamble. Unless they are boobs the could have isolated her and muted her mouth.

Hmm could Chelsea and Missy actually be off air to attend the taping? (Didn't the hgs say it would start at 2?) Just a thought

C1, I think it could be a time thing too. Also, when they said they got into trouble for all of the F bombs last week, that puts a delay on the show also. I really don't think Chima's threats had anything to do with it.

Then why would they have turned away over 100 ticket holders?

Justin - you are saying everything I'm thinking. I'm outraged that a BB contestant has enough power to deprive PAYING customers of the feeds. What a bunch of wimps. The whole idea of Big Brother is that THEY are in control. They really blew it this time. Chima should just be ejected if she breaks the rules, like disrupting the live show. This sucks.

Cheeky-- AFAIK the audience holds 103, so if the number is true, they turned everyone with "normal" tickets away. When I was there (and turned away) on 7/23, they only turned away about 20 people total. 7/30 there was a MASSIVE line they turned away of around 50 people. It looked like they were turning a ton of people away but when I got to jump into the main line (due to my "priority" ticket for being turned away 7/23) the "normal" line was already fairly long. The studio VIP line wasn't that long so I kind of thought maybe they were scared that they were cutting it too close (Not having enough normal tickets to fill the audience) and brought in more normal tickets (which results in overbooking and people being turned away, but guarantees a full crowd). It's quite possible the person ASSUMED they turned 100+ people away, but they already were full of VIPs + the people who got there early. (I had been getting there at 3pm [they say no later than 3:30] and the "normal" line would have 80-90 people already!) I'd be interested if the person who got turned away showed up at 10:00am or waited to get there til 11:30 because you WILL be turned away if you wait til the last second...

The two posters at JU's haven't texted, so I am assuming they got into the show.

Rebel, she said she's throw a fit on the live show if her nominations were overturned.

Thanks Justin. Do you tend to get tickets for all of the shows? I'm guessing you live close by. Must be fun. (I've gotten tickets once but didn't make it).

VIPs are just anyone the studio WANTS in.. it could be friends/family of cast or crew or just extras or whatever. Basically, anyone the studio puts on the list to get in is guaranteed (VIP) and anyone with tickets through the website is basically glorified standby. The reason I got bumped on 7/23 was a number of VIPs showed up about 10 minutes before the show started -- they actually pulled people OUT of the audience who had already been seated to make room for them!

BEFORE SOMEONE MISINTERPITS THIS am not condoning rape and rape is wrong, i am basing this on chimas previous actions going for dramatics ie terrorist rasist comments about others

Rebel...Missy on Lunch Express said she heard Chima say she would sing It's a Small World during the live show.

Thank You Hyper! But that's it... she'd throw a fit... there's got to be something else cuz we've seen others throw fits and almost fist'o'cuffs with Howie/Boogie... doesn't make sense that Chima has this much control over production and they are scrambling.... something doesn't seem to be right? IMHO

Hey, how long have we had questions? I actually forgot about them possibly moving up the live show until now. Pulled up the feeds and saw, great shock, questions. I just hope if they do prerecord it they tell us the truth. What annoys me the most is it was going to be SUCH fun to see the IMMEDIATE reaction of the HG after the feeds came back up. WTG Chima for possibly destroying any fun we might get watching this quite funless season!

I live close (my apartment is about 2 miles from the BB house) but only can realistically make it to like 1 show a year since you have to be there so early and I have to cut out of work. They're pretty gracious about accepting my addiction and don't want to push it (and having to do it 2 weeks in a row due to being bumped pushed it!). That said, we're going to be furloughed next year so I may try to get Thursdays off during the summer. (I guess that's a silver lining. ;) )

WoW Justin that would tick me off BIG time...if I was there in the studio, in my seat and they pulled me out. Did they do anything to make it up to you I would hope? VIP tickets for a future show at best, Tshirt or something like that at the least.

I don't blame Chima at all-- she is handing BB the most compelling situation they've had to deal with in 10 years. BB is entirely inept and not only dropped the ball, they didn't see this ball coming and it knocked them unconscious.

If you get bumped you get guaranteed tickets for the next week, which is how I got in on 7/30 (although not VIP but the audience coordinators make absolutely sure you get in-- they do a head count and put the guaranteed people in towards the end but at a place guaranteed to get in) That said I'd have loved to get guaranteed tickets for this week and see what happens. ;)

Rebel, I think it's like C1 wrote. There is too much going on with this for them to be able to fit it into the hour show without editing. Just the HG's reacting to the power being used, a not planned for eviction, etc. Last week, they knew Jeff was not using it, so it wasn't a problem.
