Read the following on BBDish:
quote:A friend of ours who will be in attendance, just got this email regarding tomorrow's Live Show Taping: Additional tickets have just been released for tomorrow morning’s taping of Big Brother! The arrival time is earlier than usual tomorrow; please arrive no later than 11:30 AM. Thanks! Questions arise: 1. Will the live show truly be live, or have Chima's threats made an impact with the producers and the network higher ups, who aren't keen on a repeat of her last performance, or worse, due to possible major FCC fines? 2. Or do they want the opportunity to have more time editing than a live show permits, since it will be such a dramatic show? 3. Or are they just calling the audience in earlier than usual, because they expect a huge crowd this week, and they will still be live?
Good questions ... I'm not sure what I believe ...

Wow ~ 11:30? Doesn't the taping last until 6:00? I hope they at least plan to give the audience a snack! Tomorrow would probably be one of the few times I would love to be there. Jesse is going to be so pissed!

The probably won't be "live" anyways. With the FCC, they'll probably run a 5-7 second delay.

Aha! I predicted that they might just do a taping of the "live" show (which of course is never really live on the west coast but is almost live in the east with a bit of time delay for bleeping).. 11:30am is definitely earlier than they ever had people arrive for live finales and I know Justin's been to several of the tapings more recently and 11:30am would have you hanging out in that neighborhood for hours and hours! I suspect they will be editing from more than an hour of "raw material" promised by Chima and undoubtedly from Jessie too. Will be interesting to see when the feeds come back.. could be a long blackout Hopefully, feeds will still come back at 6pm/9pm.. An 11:30am arrival could mean taping would start at 1pm or later, but certainly not at 5pm! (the normal time for 8pm live on the east coast). Good catch Ladytex! As for a snack.. one time I went to a finale they did give out bottles of cold water (it was a really hot day in Studio City)

Call me mean, but I hope if they do tape early they don't warn the hg's at all, lol. Julie can announce when they start taping, that'd be fun.

RMAO.. yeah.. rout them out of bed. Remember back in BB1 when they had the clock set back and they were all taken by surprise with live show starting? Of course they weren't sleeping as much as they do now, but I know Jamie wasn't properly glossed up for the show.

Wargod, I don't think that's mean. Wasn't it on season one when they messed with the potato clock or something, and the show started an hour or two earlier than they expected? Wow that was fun! <insert evil laugh>

LOL Sea, that went through my mind as I was typing my post. The mad scramble to the living room and Jamie worried about her makeup. Seriously though I bet if bb did that, the next couple Thursday's the hg's wouldn't spend most the morning/afternoon sleeping and being boring!

Sea, didn't the HGs have to MAKE a clock that season? I think it was a potato clock, too.

Yep Tres, that was the week Josh was the sabu, well however it's spelled, and he had to do all kinds of stuff. I think he had to set the clock back a few minutes every day or something and he was the only one not caught completely by surprise about the live show.

Yes, I fondly recall the potato clock and the sabotage that was caused when the time was reset.

Very interesting. Current ticketing info for all other BB Thursday live shows says, "Arrive no later than 3:30PM".

So, then...Is this why they're cleaning house, today? (But they don't know why they're doing it, and haven't caught on to the meaning?)

Idol, they've been cleaning on Wednesday for several weeks at least. I think about the only thing they've really done Thursdays is vacuum and picking up. It is a bit early though, I know Jordan usually does it pretty late at night.

Ah, Thanks, Wargod I just got the feeds, this week, so I wasn't aware of their cleaning schedule. Darn! I'm looking for any deviousness I can find, I guess;)

I didn't notice this thread until now. Sorry about posting the pre-recorded rumor in the live feed thread.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but there are a couple of NFL Preseason games Thursday night. I don't even know if they are on the same channel, but it's Patriots vs. Eagles and Redskins vs Ravens at 7:30 EDT. So, folks in the Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore areas might want to check their listings anyway.

Usleopard, I don't think this has anything to do with preseason football games. In seasons past, the local cbs affiliate would air BB at a later time, usually in the middle of the night when preseason football preempts the show.

People who can watch early, please make sure you let us know if they play Go Fish with us earlier than normal.

Maybe this will mean we will actually see more fresh stuff instead of 30 minutes of recap from Sun and Tues shows. If they are expecting Chima and Jesse to freak, the taped *live* show should be a riot!

I think if during the live show when Jeff gets up and replaces nominations if CHima opens her mouth, Julie hits her button that cuts the feed to the BB house. The play a pre packaged tape, remove CHima and cut back to continue the vote. Problem solved and chima is given the option of being removed or continuing to play. They can do this all without taping earlier thatn usual.

Missyb, that would require cooperation from Chima. She has already shown that she has little regard for production. To her it's The Chima Show. CBS is playing it safe, I think.
