It might be on Skyfire Scuba, I can't remember, but when it gets closer to the premiere you can go try them both and will find an app to watch on either or both.

Naja:

I just checked out Showtime and it appears that Big Brother After Dark is set for BB14.

Here’s the link...

http://www.sho.com/sho/series

Mouse over the picture of the full moon and see a description for BBAD.

I don't think the description would be there if BBAD was not going to be part of their summer lineup.

On iPad, iPhone, you don't need an app to watch the feeds. Real does or did have an Android app last year. But last year - which is all we have to go by so far - on an iDevice, you just navigated to the SuperPass URL in Safari, the site detected you were coming in on an iDevice, took you to a sign-in page, and feeds were then available to view in Safari.

We will know more in July or whenever Real/SuperPass start gearing up.

I have two Flash apps, Skyfire & CloudBrowse, for viewing Flash content on an iDevice. You do not need that for the feeds though. They work beautifully in Safari. Last year the quality was excellent.

Hi Hi! I can not wait for BB to start!

This was the follow-up tweet:

*no extra charge from SuperPass, but check/upgrade your data plan or use WiFi to view - they eat a lot of data usage

RE: Mamapors last post. Unless they are changing how FlashBack works, it works fine right on my Android tablet (Icecream Sandwich 4.0) without anything special except that the latest flash is installed. It works fine on the built in browser at well as Firefox for android. That is as long as they aren't changing things once the season starts. I have no idea about the feeds yet.

Redhawk, I just noticed....Even Showtime's cancelled shows from last year are on that page with BBAD (like "United States of Tara"). So that page isn't an indicator.

I do think BBAD will air this year, but they sure aren't giving us any early signs like most years.

Naja:

Guess they'll just keep us guessing to the last moment.

Keep me and others posted if you find anything out.

I hope that doesn't mean four returning houseguests!

It probably means 4 returnees...

The most number of HG's means there has to be at least 17 starting the season- and I think it'll be 18.

This probably means they start as duos again (9 pairs)- and eliminate a duo a week at the start like in the BB winter season:

1st evic- 18-16

2nd evic- 16-14

3rd evic- 14-12

4th evic- 12-10

5th evic- 10-9 (twist- a duo is eliminated, but then compete against each other to get back in the game via a 2nd vote or a comp- play goes to individuals at this point)

6th evic- 9-8

7th evic- 8-7

8th evic- 7-5 (Fast Forward ep about this point)

9th evic- 5-4

10th evic- 4-3

11th evic on Finale night- 3-2

They can start as pre-selected duos, decide among themselves who the duos are, or are randomly put into duos. The returnees may or may not come in as duos- or might be set up with new people to shake things up a little.

OR, maybe they will do a number of double evictions! I think that could be fun!

Has anyone seen an end date?

If Brenchel is on I will not watch this show in 2012, it was bad enough having to look at those 2 yahoo's last summer. They caused d me to miss most of The Amazing Race.
I want Janie or better yet Kaysar.............heart be still.

Mamapors- Probably September 19th- The "official" start of the fall season is September 24th (the Emmys are the 23rd). Survivor usually starts the Wednesday before, so that would be the 19th (if they plan to so a 90 minute Survivor premiere and 90 minute BB finale like last year).

If they haven't already, they should be finished casting by the end of this week. They'll probably go into pre-show sequester sometime next week, and the public announcement of the HG's/twists and pre-show interviews will probably be released the week after that (July 1st or 2nd). They'll probably actually go into the house on July 5th or 6th, then the premiere on the 12th.

What if the extra HG are "PETS"? I'd love that much more than pairs or returnees.

"This probably means they start as duos again"

Uh huh. Expecting the expected...AGAIN.



Do they ever come up with an 'original' idea? I'm hoping if they put 18-20 people in the house, they will all be new people. If not, it will just show that they are too lazy to create a season without bringing back people they've already interviewed.

(If my criticisms are getting on your nerves, please feel free to tell me to 'shut it' - I won't be insulted...really. )
