Rieann, I don't get the feeds either...but I am like you...but they seem to take a bit more time each year from the feeds. That might just be my perspective. But I seem to recall some of the feed watchers saying that years ago they used to be able to watch most of the comps too...can't swear to that though.

Thanks for answering Lainee. I know you're feedless (ha) too, but I would be frustrated to pay for what seems to be limited service/

Laniee, yes, the first season we got to watch everything. Even during the live show, we had feeds and could see what was happening during commercials!

Season 2 - I think they cut off the feeds for the live show. We got to see all the comps live, online.

I don't remember which season they started cutting off the 'net viewers for comps. It was a gradual thing. First they took the veto comp, but allowed us to see food and luxury.

Then they took those away too. Internet viewers are an unwelcome necessity to the producers.

Someone should be suing their happy selves for advertising it as 24/7 live feeds! LOL

Glad to hear that the candy room gang stayed up so late lol. Not too smart night before a hoh comp. I guess they'll all be sleeping in the hoh lockdown this morning.

I think with each season they realized that by showing free live feeds many people didn't watch the show, therefore it was not easy to get advertisers. This of course meant no one was paying for anything. Apparently since they are only a summer show they realized they could make some money if they charged for the feeds. That of course meant they could make money and get the viewers they needed to stay on the air each year. It makes sense to me from a business standpoint. They have to cut away from the live feeds, which cater to one part of the audience, to make sure everyone is seeing some new stuff on the show to keep the viewers as well.

If I am going to miss one show a week, it's usually the Wednesday show. It doesn't surprise me that they didn't show Shelly's game play last night. I am sure we will see some of it tonight. I think one of the reasons the feeds were down a lot yesterday was the fact that they already voted to make time for the challenge to return and the HOH contest. There wasn't a lot of scheming last night because I think they already voted. They don't vote live a couple of times each season.

EM someone wrote that D K were up late and still didn't know who they wanted to leave, so maybe they haven't voted yet.

EM - the reason the feeds were down, was because they had their 'half-way' party.

Lainee: We can't sue, because when you sign up for the feeds, you agree to their rules that they have the right to control the content. So, legally they are covered.

The reason the feeds were down last night was because the houseguests were given a half way party. They have not voted yet..

Keldogg and Scuba both reported that as of 10pm K and D still didn't know who they wanted evicted, as if they really have a choice in the matter lol.

Well, good thing I don't get the feeds because if I was promised 24/7 then I would be demanding my money back or something! LOL

Yeah, Kalia only gets a vote if there is a tie! And if what I have been reading is any indication I don't think there will be a tie for Kalia to break!


If what I have been reading happens then Jeff, Jordan, Adam, and Shelly will all be voting "I vote to evict Lawon!"

Porsche also said she would keep Rachel, but it Shelly finds this out I can see her changing her vote to make Porsche look bad.

I get the feeds and feel that I get my money's worth. I can watch firsthand the scheming, joking, and fighting whenever I want through the flashback feature. I figure as long as I get at least the amount of time I would have spent at a movie theater watching one movie, then I have gotten my money's worth.
And I'm hoping Lawon goes out the door and realized real quick his mistake!

So are you guys saying they don't vote live on the show? I am confused, I had no idea that happened.

Connies--Yes, the vote is live but since last night it seems evident how the vote will play out with J/J/Sh/A voting to evict Lawon and even most probably K/D/P voting to evict him too! LOL

Marksman stated:
If brendon comes back I am moving to another country because I can't live in one who would have voted him back in

Do you really think it's the viewers in America or BB that is 'voting' Brendon back in?

The other reason could be that these online votes are vote bots that vote for the worst, aka, Sanjaya, just to mess with the show.

I don't know...some think because there was so much fish time on the feeds off and on yesterday that the houseguests were voting...others think they had the halfway party last night...I dunno and guess that we will have to wait until tonight to find out whether it is live voting or not!
