Well it's close to being offically confirmed...they state it as fact in the TV Guide interview. And guess one of the rooms is so scary Julie said she couldn't sleep or had nightmares or something lol. It's online at realityBBQ if you don't get TV as it's an interesting read. So thoughts on this? I can see the Hell as it relates to HG but there sure doesn't seem to be a lot of Heaven in those choices IMHO. I am assuming things are gonna be a lot more comfy up in "Heaven" then down in Hell lol. Any way this is gonna be interesting??? How does Arnie come up with these lame themes anyway? Sigh.

well, "lame" rhymes with "flame" so many that's where he got it from ........... But anyway, my hope was that the house would be physically separated (and it may still be) in order to prevent people from the same season from colluding with one another and forcing new alliances. But how anyone would determine which person, between Janelle and K'love to send to "hell" is beyond me. I just hope the upstairs (heaven) is as pimped out 70s style as the downstairs is. There should be some kind of latent Charlie's Angel's theme going on.

I still think it has to do with Good vs Evil and the Evil Will and Good Girl Lisa are the heads of teams that won't be in the house to win anything. I don't want to keep thinking though... I just want it to START! lol

If she enters the house... Danielle could be part of Heaven since she promised to be a "good girl" this time... or she could be part of Hell since she followed that promise with a

I hate the "Hell" theme of the decor of the house. The use of flames instead of fish is awful, especially during the hot summer months,ugh! It makes me uncomfortable to watch....don't you'all think they should have foreseen that some viewers would be turned off by their 'hot' decor?

I have medical problems and am on Anti-epileptic meds. I have not yet bought Feeds this season. Upon reading a few posts and seeing those horrible Screencaps of flames I've complained to CBS. Quote: Are you aware that many people have a problem with flicking moving objects on a screen? ESPECIALLY us with health problems on medications. I would request that you reconsider what you use as a "filler" instead of FISHCAM. The fishcam had smoothly swimming fish and calming bubble sound. To use flicking flames will result in people possibly having epileptic seizures alone at home. The very least effect is hundreds of nauseaous people trying to enjoy their BB experience and wondering if the money was worth the nausea. ((Hope that others will feel as passionately about this as I do. I cant watch Survivor TC because of the Flicking Torches. BB feeds will most likely be out for me if they dont change it.

Sun, I'm sorry that the flickering "flames" will cause you such trouble. I work with preschoolers with disabilities and have always heard that flickering lights can trigger seizures (although I've never been witness to it). I will drop a note to CBS as well. I know that no one here seems to like the dumb fire anyways, but I will do so in full support your right to safe viewing.

Sun, it really isn't flickering.. more smooth and oozing. Maybe you could do the free trial just to see. Might be ok. Probably not.. it really gives me a visceral, uneasy feeling.

Just FYI - the flames that they are currently showing are not 'flickering' - they are a rolling type of flame - the kind you see in movies like 'backdraft.' I recorded 30 seconds or so and posted it on youtube. 30 Second 'Fire' video.

Besides the icky feeling I get from watching it, it is just plain UGLY! Hopefully it is just the preseason placeholder and will be replaced by a nice soothing fireplace view. Yes, I am delusional...

I agree they are not flickering but IMO they are really annoying to look at! Maybe we'll get acclimated to them eventually.

I was watching VH1 this past weekend, and they were showing the biggest celebrity beefs of 2005. I saw clips of the Surreal World with Janice Dickenson and Omarosa in it, and the neon flame wall from their show is the same wall that is in the Big Brother living room this year. Are they part of the same production company or did one reality show house have a garage sale and the other reality show saw it while driving by and laid on the brakes. I wonder, when they walked up the surreal driveway did they find Omarosa sitting inside the garage at a card table with a little gray lock-box full of dollar bills. LOL! Could you just imagine that garage sale?

Sun...sorry to hear the flames might cause you problems and hope all is ok so you can safely watch. But I just gotta say...to say the bubble music was calming to me is like saying nails on chalkboard is good to meditate too ! Sorry but all those loud bubbles ever did to me was either scare me when they came on (and usually my speakers were cranked to hear the HG) or make me need to ppppppppppp. Sometimes both! Can think of a LOT of descriptive words for them, but trust me calmming would NOT be on the list hehe

Oh I think I might get sick this season if we have them jump away from the live action too often (and we know they will). Those rolling flames make me dizzy. And the music is so repetitive it is annoying. Help!

I dont know how I am going to watch feeds this year. I feel like bawling actually. How could CBS be so stupid and uncaring?

Lol! Those are rolling flames? I felt like I was on an Epcot ride going down Boogie's throat. <shiver!> Thanks, Ryn for the loop! (love ya!) Sunshine, I can understand that feed be disturbing. The only thing I can think of as a possible solution is to cut a piece of cardboard out, or something similiar, and just lay it over your moniter w/ just a little piece of the action going on, showing it. This way you can tell when they go back to the live feeds and not feel sick to your stomach. If I get the live feeds, I have a feeling I'll be doing the same thing.

How about just minimizing it and leaving the sound on? When you hear voices, you can pull it back up. Of course it means listening to that or some other equally hideous music, but I'd go for that so I could still use the puter. BTW don't think my bladder is esp bad cept when hearing running water for long periods of time, and esp since I've often been drinking at the puter and not taking enough breaks it's well, um, natural lolol.
