Bon - last year for Mac, the best viewer was BigBrotherLite. The link is one page back in this thread. But that is for computer, not iPad. I mention that because you were talking about feeds on your iPad. As it stands for feeds on iPad (etc), no one knows yet what, how, etc. What Christii said is all anyone knows so far and until they launch the feeds or some NASA or other testing channel, we are all in the dark. To my knowledge, Real doesn't even have much info to read about it all. I quoted above from a BB blogger that was kind enough to try to explain things regarding the mobile aspect. But that at least explains how it is *supposed* to work. I'm out of town but will sign up for the feeds + mobile add-on when I get home. I'll post what Real says, but I'm sure we will not be fully informed until the last minute, if I know Real. lol

Thanks guys... Bonza you are right, I kinda talked about iPad then switched to Mac. LOL... randon. But yes, I want to be able to watch on my Mac and also on my iPad (I will use WiFi). I guess I will wait to see if we get any more info.I can get the package of early sign up + Feed from Real... but if I can use a different app on iPad that might be more friendly or something I might use otherwise, then that might be a better choice. Anyhow I guess I will wait??? And I do appreciate you all being patient with this technology ignorant gal I usually ask my DS for anything to do with computer.. but when I am telling him to not play his games so much I am not sure I should be asking him to help me sign up for 24 hour feeds ;)

So no one else thought "Crash my party" song in the promos meant anything? ok, I am going to reference my last post when it does turn out that new HGs get to be introduced to the house even halfway way through

I don't know Naja. If this was any other show that would make sense. LOL - I'd like to think they have a plan but with BB they just blunder along aimlessly. Are you referring to bandwidth, Goldy? They do seem to be using more and more data for the feeds so that may be something to keep in mind if you have a limited account.

I think the "Crash my party" song means something I just don't know what. It could mean anything from intruders or evil twists to just being voted out. I love the thought of intruders but I'm not sure how that would work in the show since it has such a different format than the UK and OZ versions. I envision the original housemates ganging up and voting the newbies out at the first chance. I always find it ironic that all the commercials stress the "wild party" theme but the housemates spend so much time doing very little.

Callasin- Not if they do it right. Say they have 8 players left and are adding two more: -To have a second chance to make a first impression, the two new players are Co-HOH for the week (thus are both immune that week). -What would have been the HOH comp instead is an immunity comp; everyone (including the outgoing HOH) is eligible to play. Winner can't be nominated or be used as a POV replacement. -Each of the two new people pick one nominee; if there's a veto, whoever of the two new people did better in the POV comp gets to decide the replacement...and also would get the tiebreaking vote if needed (since there would be 6 votes). So there's a comp within the POV comp that week. -Since there are two HOH's that week, they only draw two names for POV comp instead of the usual three. -After that, anything goes. This guarantees that both of them get at least two weeks in the house, and even if they were both nominated immediately, one of them would still get a third week. I'm not saying the original people would still evict them one after the other, but things change on a dime in the house...and if a minority alliance needs another person to get control of the game, the new people could be very useful...

Everyone should check out BBlite.com. They have made lots of enhancements to the new version which is supposed to be ready for downloading later this month.

Wilson - When have the PTB's EVER been as smart as we are in planning the show? I like your ideas, but they are way too creative for the likes of our producers!

I know- but variations of that have happened in other countries BB (newbies have immunity for a while as will as power of nomination)..I'm still ticked off about when they sent Kaysar back in without any immunity whatsoever- they had to know that without it he would have been voted right back out. The key is making sure you can't vote them out immediately- even 1 week would be enough.

Tweet from BigBroLiveFeeds BigBrotherLiveFeeds We discovered that some people have been billed twice for the mobile feeds. We're reviewing all orders to be sure they are billed correctly **************** Way to start off the season?!?!?

I like your ideas Wilson. Another thing that might work is they are down to 8 and want to add two more. They bring in 4 for a week and the housemates have to choose which 2 they want to keep. That week's elimination is the 2 that don't get to stay. The 2 that get to stay get immunity for the next week which gives them a little more time. It also makes it fun if the 2 they chose were not necessarily the best choices for the current schemes and alliances.

A "sample" of what the feeds will look like on an iPhone at this site. And they say: "There won’t be an app, but when you point the browser on your iPhone or iPad to http://superpass.real.com you’ll be able to pick the live feed you want and the feeds will open in the Quicktime player." http://www.realitynation.com/big-brother/mobile-big-brother-feeds-sneak-peek/
