I'm so lucky they "get" it!!! At least to an extent. My Mom was an avid watcher and used to visit this board too until her stroke almost four years ago -- it's not the same for her anymore but she still watches the TV show and I keep her apprised of the behind the scenes stuff. She's lost the true enthusiasm though.

I decided I wanted a laptop around Xmas and the major thing I kept promoting to DH was we wouldn't have to try to watch the feeds squished into the one Lay-Z-Boy in the computer room AND we'd be able to take it to bed! It was like ninety-five percent of my reasoning for spending the money was all to do with Big Brother and he really did get it.

He never posts but he checks in here as often as he can from work and now we'll have the two computers, it'll be the best BB for us yet!

Bawahahahaha Pamy!!!!!!!! And Mary, good thing I swallowed my rootbeer before I read your husband's comment about the garage! TOO FUNNY!!!

I'm in a bit of a predicament this summer since my DS is now 18 and is on the computer more than me and we fight over it at night! My DDs computer at college wouldn't turn on when she came back one weekend. Her best friend's brother has it since he builds computers but he's been really busy moving and hasn't gotten to it. I keep asking her every few days if Jason tried to put in a new power source. Of course it's because she has said I can have it (her fiance has a new laptop) and hers is a year newer and faster and yeah.. .I want it for BB feeds!!!!! And so I can tell my son to take this one and if I don't find some wireless stuff at a super low price, I'm pretty sure I can get a "splitter" from my brother and we can have both of them in one room at least. LOL DH is going LOVE that..... NOT!!! hahaha.... I'm an addict and I'm not afraid to admit it...... to all of you, a couple of friends, and my DD. DH and DS roll their eyes at me and think it's stupid. Well bully for them!!!!! ;)

Lurknomore.....,Thanks for the information and the story. Now tell me how sad am I that as I was reading your story about your chance store encounter with fellow addicts, I found myself actually grinning, smiling, with eyes widening as I got excited by the prospects and possibilities..... now that's addiction for ya. I was getting excited about just finding another warm bodied human just to chat with about this show. LOL Sounds like you all had a party at the check-out counter to me. ROFLOL

I have been a BB fan for a few years and last year I was feeling so lonely (didn't know about TVCH)at one point I thought about buying a I love Kaysar t-shirt and wearing it to work. I figured it would be like a secret signal for other closet fans to come out to me. Never did though and am glad I have found this place so now I finally don't feel so alone in my addiction.

Welcome Puppyluvs!

Here is your FREE K'love t-shirt!



Unfortunately, you can't actually WEAR it unless you print it out and put it on a little paperdoll version of yourself.

My family rolls with it!
It is my co-workers who I had to admit it to.
For the last few summers, I have dragged my way through the summer months on a few hours sleep looking like I had been on a bender, mostly after a late Thursday night. I try to take off time around BB, but it is not always possible.

I want to take this Friday off from work so I can stay up Thursday until I can't keep my eyes open any more and so I can watch all day Friday interruption-free. I am dreading how hard my boss will laugh at me when I tell her why I want to take that day off, though...but the humiliation will be worth it!

My poor little dog used to get so depressed when I would watch bb but since I got my laptop and she can sit next to me she is much happier.

Even after all these seasons of BB (and TAR, Survivor, and others) my family still makes noises about my watching the shows, but more so the behind the scenes postings here at the clubhouse. It is very difficult to tear myself away. LOL

Tanzy, you can do it!!! I know, ease into it. Talk into your cell phone and use words like Kaysar (there only could be one), live feeds, etc. Look for reactions then say, OH do you watch BB too???!!!

But don't worry we'll always be here for ya! And even though you can't see em, we all (well most lol) have warm bodies attached to the whittle fingers typing these posts hehehe!

Okay, Okay, Lurk, I'm going for it. You're my support in this venture. Hope I don't bomb dismally or should I use absymally there. Either way, Wish me luck! After my first try i'll report on the outcome. Plus,I know you all have warm bodies and don't get me wrong, I could never discount my experiences here at TVCH. You all make my BB watching fun! Still,when will we upgrade to the new version of the board where posters are heard in their own voices, reading their posts? Ugh, oh, there I go starting a new rumor.

Im already battling a serious Sims addiction. If I had the feeds I'd be doomed. My husband "gets" it becuase he's the same way with sports. Ugh, Sept sunday nights are going to be killer (we only have one tv)

Occasionally, one of my Sims will stick his head out from behind the Real Player window, wave his hand at me and go "I'M STARVING!!!!!! AND I FORGOT WHERE THE BATHROOM WAS!!!!"

....... and you KNOW you are totally far gone when you take your mouse and click on the live feeds and try to make Kaysar go "cook ....... lobster thermidor" or something. Ha ha!

My husband is trying to be brave about my absence for the next few months. He just called from work and said it was so he could just hear my voice before BB started and I wouldn't talk to him. I told him that I would talk to him a lot because I would be sharing what was going on on the live feeds as well as the board. He was happy to hear that but then he asked if he could talk back and I had to tell him NO! How can I listen to the feeds and him at the same time. He was bummed so I told him that is why he should get his own account here so he can write to me and I will see it. I don't think he understood the logic.

My whole family understands. They are all fans. Especially my mom, who you all know. She and I are the same way about the Dave Matthews Band. We are obsessed with BB and DMB. its very sickening to my friends, but its still a fun thing for us!

Aloha, ya'll,

I'm back for the best season ever. Go Kaysar, Howie and Janelle.

My wife is SOOO tired of Big Brother. She watches with me, but has no emotional investment like me.

Now, is Rupertbear here this year?

My DH gets it because he's a fan too, only because I make him watch it with me!! He depends on me to re-cap the live feed posts to keep him updated during the time between shows. My boys on the other hand have laughed at me for 6 years about watching the show, so I was highly amused when one of my boys married a BB fan this year. Guess Mom always gets the last laugh!

understand? lol dh is worse than ME & that is saying something considering how many hours i spend at this site...he works until 11 tonight so I had to promise to not only record on the TIVO but to also record it on a DVD & drive it to him at work so he can watch at his desk.

LOL @ Jeneane :-) Can't understand why your DH didn't follow your logic!

My DH got to see the show before I did -- we were just going to watch it when his sis called. She talked for AN HOUR!!! DH watched BB (I stayed in another room so as not to bother him), but we will probably talk about it tomorrow AT LENGTH when he gets home from work. He usually asks about the feeds and what I've learned online, but I always ask before "spoiling" anything for him.

My DH knows that I need quiet during the BB season. He's not happy about it, but he's usually at work when it airs.
