Real player has nothing to do with the feed blocks. It's CBS.

I hope Jordan is nowhere around where Chima is holding court right now. I can't believe the lengths that Chima will go to make someone she hate live's miserable. I can't wait for she and Russell to leave the house. They will kill each other in the jury house while Jesse sleeps the day away.

Loppes, I've complained to Real in past seasons and they just say they have no control. It's CBS' call about showing or not showing the HGs. It's worse this season than I can recall in past years. If we cancelled the only one that would be hurt by it is Real Player. They would lose money but CBS doesn't care.

Lainee - Thanks for the link - the article I read said nothing about him being executed - Geaux Texas (my home state - now living in Louisiana - thus the Geaux).

Doesn't CBS have liability insurance or slander insurance or whatever the F they need to keep themselves safe from lawsuits?! J.C.! This is just fricken ridiculous.

Does CBS get a portion of the money we pay for the feeds?

jarreau...I don't know the answer to that question but I suspect Real Player does pay something to CBS. It would take MASSIVE cancellations to make a difference. BB live feeds is probably just a small portion of Real Players actual income. They have so many other features the BB live feeds are just small fry to them.

There is no Doubt in my mind that Chima is going to blow her top Thursday if Jeff takes her nominations off and Jessie leaves...Then it will be her terrorizing the house..as she puts it!

Why can't they just switch feeds like they do on BBAD? Or cut audio? Or smack Chima? LOL

Lock Chima in the HOH room and cut the feeds to that room.

with all the crap Chima has been pulling and threatening the past few days I wouldn't be surprised if lawyers were already involved and that's the reason for all the FISH.

Skylar, I have thought about that and I think Julie would go to a commercial break and when we got back, Chima would be gone. Does she think she can put one over on Julie, the wife of the CBS owner w/o penalty or a lawsuit?

Laj...I really do think CBS would prefer not to have live feeds at all. The TV show is their bread and butter. The money they get from sponsors is the only thing they care about. Internet live feed viewers are more trouble than they're worth to them.

Except how many of us would continue to watch the show if there were no live feeds?

Yeah, I pay to watch 4 feeds of Russell sun bathing while I can hear the entire house on the patio talking and laughing.

I have sent them an email about Chima's terrorists comments. I know my option is to turn the feeds off. I am just mad they do not tell her to stop it.
