They are losing the internet viewers by constant fish interruptions. I for one, would not watch the TV show if it wasn't for the live feed. Each year, they are more and more aggressive with their censoring, and it's ruining the whole experience. If they lose the internet viewers, they have no show.

I won't do anymore voting either. A dollar a vote, I can give the money to my grandkids instead and feel good about it.

I have 10 shows on my DVR that I have not watched. It will be easy for me to join the boycott and I am happy to do it. Do people who tweet send any tweets to AG about the boring feeds this year? Also the fish problem?

I don't tweet, so I don't know about that. I'm sure with all of the controversy it's not gone unnoticed.

there's a lot of negative tweets towards AG and CBS I love this one from Miss Cleo: If the feeds were prorated based on the actual time they're on, it would only cost $6.97 for the summer

Brendylou, I think it is someone on jokers but it buried so far back. Sorry. It wasn't real, it was a mock up.

Thanks Missyb, I knew it wasn't real, I just wanted to check it out again. Zgoodgirl posted the link again up the thread a ways.

Would'nt that be great to have the feeds prorated? At the rate we are getting fish these days we would end up with a refund in Sept.

I can't see how a boycott on watching the TV show is going to do much good. The only way anyone is going to know is if a person has a Nielsen rating equipped thing on their TV, right? I do think a boycott on the feeds (people cancelling, etc.) would be noticed because doesn't BB get a share of that revenue or something?

Just wondering, did the Zingbot really pass out from the heat or did Danielle slip him a "mickey" after her zing? LOL

I think if you record the show, that is counted in ratings now.. so to boycott you actually have to not record the show; they don't know if you delete the show without watching it. I DID think about cancelling feeds but I need them so I can maintain the table (and I actually like maintaining the table).

Funny that you'd never know there are actually enough cams and the technology to show four unique feeds/rooms, except that they do show them overnight. There were actually seasons with four distinct feeds!

I'm hoping that just the attention the boycott is getting, plus all of the complaints, will be enough to get their attention so they realize something needs to be done - like firing AG and ButtonBoy

Good Morning Sea! Does the fact that we've been members since 2000 make us as crazy as the "house guests?" ... I can't believe I'm still addicted to this game...although I no longer stock up on peanut butter and other special snacks... I'm still glued to the feeds a considerable amount of time.

I remember the good old days when I did nothing all summer except BB. The magic is gone.

OMG Danielle's card tricks at 10:46pm were so impressive. Does anyone here give her any credit? Geez!

Mary, the card tricks were discussed, and easily explained. Dan even pointed out how she was doing it. So, yes she knows card tricks, but they weren't worthy of a Las Vegas show.

Does anyone here remember waaay back when they had Monday house meetings so they could discuss their concerns openly? They were on the feeds and AG would edit them for the show. Shannon and Hardy? Those meetings were great! I never understood why they discontinued them.

Mary, Nope. Wasn't watching anyway, but I find watching Danielle is sort of like stopping to watch a terrible accident on the road, where I'm not able to or allowed to intervene and save anyone. So I drive on by. Need.. I"m sure I'm crazy, and the summer after I was dx with cancer I was still doing my usually summer immersion into BB.. then Sept 1 of that year (2009) after I'd recovered from surgery and trained, I started driving cancer patients and that activity has trumped long hours on the feeds during the day and has also meant many nights where I have to be getting at least some amount of sleep, so my feed watching and online presence for BB has markedly slacked off. I am, however, stil crazy I do watch the live show to get information for the table, but the other shows I often watch days later or sometimes delete. This year and maybe last year.. not sure when that started. I know I wasn't typical but I would often seek out a feed where people were talking about life, not plotting, snarking, bashing, fabricating untruths. That's difficult to find now and when you find it you can count on the feeds switching away unless nothing at all is happening elsewhere.

They need to get their days/nights turned back around. Sleeping all day and roaming all night. Keldogg...you are humorous.
