Sure now that I'm out of lurkdom and feeds are blocked. I don't get the feeds (haven't since season 1 when they were free!) but always look forward to everyone's updates here. I don't remember another time that they blocked the final hoh. I can't imagine what it would have been like during the bunny hop with ED & Howie if I didn't know what was going on step by step. Since they are blocked, I wouldn't be surprised that if BB doesn't get the results they want, they'll make the HGs keep redoing it until they get it right. If it's blocked we'll never know how "fair" the competition was.

The TV ratings have been very high this year, even with live feed spoilers. But now, I think they may want to really heighten and lift the ratings for the last few shows. Especially leading into Survivor premier night.

So they are building up to a very big Wednesday night viewership and Thurday night.

Is there an eviction Thursday night or are they waiting until finale day ? I don't remember for this year. I thought they were doing it this Thursday, live, even thought Enzo think the F3 get to go to finale night.

Thanks for the feedback link, Reader. I've left my complaint, and made sure to include a comment about how they are making Julie Chen a LIAR!

Not that it will do any good, since they don't care about us, but I let them know that I'm not buying the '24/7 live feed' next year, since they have abused the live feed viewers.

Missyb, I let CBS know that lots of us are not buying the live feed next year, and told them that their ratings would dive right into the toilet without live feed viewers.

They forget that the whole point of the show is that people are watching them 24/7. Otherwise, it's just 'Survivor...In-A-House'.

The special programming I believe will just be Missy and others talking about the game. The special programming comes from Real, not CBS.

Lostfan - they go through your bags, absolutely no cell phones allowed in the studio. But we will all know as soon as those audience members get back to their cars.

That's what makes the feed block so absurd. This really blows.

The guys will probably get their final 3 dinner/party after the taped eviction...which will involve them playing a bunch of music...as they do every year...and they really don't want you to know that they taped the supposed live show...but we all know they do...duh.

Lostfan - maybe even in your bra - there are no patdowns. LOL. But from personal experience I will say this - it's not easy to get into the audience. They allow about twice as many people to show up as there are seats in the studio. You wait a long, long time and are lucky to get in.

The audience is so small you could be seen easily by staff if you pulled a phone out of your shoe. After what i went through to get last season, I would not in a million years chance being kicked out for sneaking in my phone. But if someone is tweeting live tonight for our amusement, I will send them a bottle of champagne. :-)

Hey guys... I do have tickets... and the ok to leave work fairly early so I am REALLY hoping I can get in. I really don't want to spend all day in line but I'm thinking I really want to be there by 2:30 (when the parking lot should open) to make sure I get in. The good news is the weather is much nicer today than it's ever been for me to wait for BB-- I know it doesn't matter to you all but when it's been 100-110 out there, waiting in the sun at the CBS parking lot is a nightmare. ;) But there's no way I'm going to try to sneak anything in. ;) They're pretty totalitarian with their rules. And there are no patdowns but there is a super sensitive metal detector, I can't remember what it was but I saw someone get busted for something REALLY tiny last year, made me think they have it up way past airport level sensitivity.

Gotta say I'm pretty excited to have tickets to the one show that's not live...

I'll see what I can do after I get home. Life has been awful this summer and this week is particularly nuts so I may not be able to do a full writeup but hopefully I can at least post a bit.

Hey Justin - great to hear from you! I do hope you get in and that cheers your difficult summer. Sending you happy life and good show luck wishes!!!!

I hear you about the weather. I waited last year in that friction' parking garage in 115 degrees. Thought I had heatstroke and then was turned away. When we got in the audience two weeks later I was giddy.

Best of luck tonight and have a great time!
