Some sporting event is changing the time in some areas. Sorry, but I don't have the details. Show time, however, has nothing to do with Feeds and whether they will be blocked.

Wow, this just proves AG has no idea what Big Brother is about. In the UK, when the HGs start throwing tantrums, BB basically says "bring it" and fights fire with fire (like taking almost all of their food away when a few HGs started flagrantly breaking rules this week) and they revel in making the HGs suffer for daring to threaten BB. In the US, production is terrified of some REAL drama on the show. I mean, how hard would it be to make a couple extra pre-packaged segments making Chima look like an idiot that they could swap in if Chima tries to mess it up? Or punish the whole house by making them ALL have-nots, and make sure they understand it's Chima's fault for "ruining" the show (with a "wink-wink-nudge-nudge" to the audience). Or, they could just go all out and yes, threaten expulsion if they ruin the show. Or, have Julie make an announcement-- "Houseguests, if you do not get Chima locked in the HoH room where she will stop disrupting the show, you will all be on slop for the next week and we will send security into the house to escort Chima out of the house and off the show." Sigh... I don't get why BB US is like a relaxing spa vacation much of the time, and why the producers seem so terrified of even slightly offending our poor little contestants. It's been noted no one has EVER walked from BB US (people have been thrown off for extreme behavior, but no one's ever said "Screw this" and walked off the show) whereas it happens 2-3 times a season in the UK.

I don't think it has anything to do with Chima's threats. They've settled that in the DR, production told Chima to stop complaining and that she signed for that kind of "unexpected business" and stop making threats. So, she stopped and all will be well. There must be a tv schedule change somewhere with CBS, maybe some sporting event.. Anyway, there could be a potential leak to the internet community from someone in the audience as to the outcome of the show if it's taped... this would be a very bad move by the producers.

A sporting event makes no sense, though-- CBS doesn't own its local stations time outside of prime time (unless they own the station, but they don't own CBS affiliates). An 11:30 arrival time would put taping around 2:00pm, or 5:00EST. They couldn't (and wouldn't) force east coast local stations to bump their local news... What usually is done is BB gets bumped at a LOCAL level.. some cities will get it later in the day, on a different channel, etc... BB isn't bumped on a network/national level without warning. Plus, they obviously made this decision very last minute-- a football game or something would've been on the schedule for months. I think they're just tape delaying it "to be safe"... which is exactly why BB US gets so stale-- they play it safe.

We had an announcement crawling across the bottom of the screen the other night saying that the Patriots pre-season game would interfere with Big Brother tomorrow and we have to watch on a different affiliate.

BTW-- if anyone is going-- keep in mind the NDA that you sign when you go into the show SPECIFICALLY states you will NOT reveal the results of any show before it airs... and that they will have your picture and your signed NDA. There are only 103 people in the audience, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who posts stuff. (not that I'm saying that I won't be dying to hear what happened but keep in mind you ARE signing a contract. Of course, they don't really check ID so if you accidentally put your name as, I dunno, William Kirby on the form... who would know? ;) )

As I said, there is a sporting event somewhere that is pre-empting SOME BB broadcasts. It has nothing to do with whether the show will be live or not. And nothing to do with Feeds.

Even better, let all the HG's know that if anyone protests or creates problems with the CDT, they are automatically nominated no matter if they're HOH or won the POV.

It is probably a good thing I didn't read my email on time.. it would be really hard not to share results. Of course with that schedule I'd be driving home through some really crappy traffic, probably. This is two close calls recently.. could have been to a taping and result show for SYTYCD but I had a doctor appt that took two months to get and then today I don't read my email.. saves on gas, though. And I think the HG have been warned of something with the "sworn to secrecy" after individual talks with AG.. thing that Chima and Lydia mentioned.

Not sure if its a 5 second delay or 7. I do know that American Live TV shows do this since the wardrobe malfunction on the supper bowl. I watch Canadian TV whenever possible for hockey (best commericals), then I can just quick change the channel to see the goal or fight again. I think with Chima's threaths and the unpredictabily of Jessie, there could be so many delays that they couldn't put the whole show in the one hour time frame.

The live show is very tightly timed so there are a huge number of ways that a houseguest could mess up the live show without even doing anything really nasty. A classic example would be Julie explaining the rules of the HOH challenge to the houseguests. Julie then asks if everyone understands and one houseguest simply says, "Could you repeat that Julie, please." LOL – Julie and production would probably panic. I think we had a thread one year where people came up with a huge number of ingenious ways that a houseguest could mess with the production of the live show.

Chima's specific threat was that she would march out to the middle of the yard during the HOH comp and start screaming at Julie. If they are anticipating that Chima will actually do that, I can understand why they would bump the time up.

For that, Bee, they could just cut Chima's mic and send two of those Roman soldiers to "ensure Chima's safety". LOL I see what Jimmer is saying. They don't want to pull an AI and have to run overtime. Plus, there's something about the plastic tart over the back yard. Could the HOH comp be a Paintball fight? Chima doesn't like to get dirty. She won't walk into that. Heeeheee

How long is it going to take for someone in the audience to leak the outcome of the show to the internet community? Please, just do it!!

The show probably won't even start taping until 1pm BB Time, so the **earliest** anyone would be able to report back would be around 2:30 or so BB time (leaving time for the Early Show taping and then the walk back to the car and assuming they immediately post when they get back to their car from a cell phone)

I agree Justin. BB is way too easy on the HG most of the time, and are afraid to make them mad. As much as people thought BB1 was boring, the part of that season that I actually liked was that BB was not afraid to make the HG look bad. BB should removed privileges, items in the house or whatever it needs to. Not only when HG act up against BB, but just to stir drama in the house. They've always been afraid to make the HG upset. They should never know what will happen in the house. Things like, you walk in the bedroom one day, all the beds are gone ... next day they are back. Keep the HG always guessing.

Naja posted this in the live feed thread - lots turned away from taping today. VIPs in audience. Maybe CBS trying to avoid to many "leaks" early? http://bigbrotherklub.com/blog/2009/08/13/scratch-that-bbk-will-not-be-at-live-show/

I wonder who the "VIP's" might be. I can't imagine too many people of renown follow this show.

I wouldn't get hung up by the term, but there are 2 lines to get into the audience-- one is VIP (=studio guests, friends of cast/crew, etc) and the other is normal people. ;) They probably just stacked the deck with extras and friends of cast/crew who don't follow the show and will do exactly what they're told by production. There is a couple in the audience that I sat next to that have been at EVERY live show as far as I can tell so I'll be looking for them..

It could be that they don't want to air "unedited speeches" from hgs on the block and soon to be evicted. (Ronnie was outrageous, and Chima was awful, Casey wasn't any better). Looks like Chima's threats are also a reason for the taping. All in all, I think it's just ridiculous. Just show as it happens and it will be more exciting.
