This is so exciting! I think we have several people here that would be great on the show. It would be hard to choose.

The gathering might be a cool way for them to connect, but I don't know if that is enough time!! Crap!! The plot thickens a bit here - I was contacted by the local CBS affiliate wanting to run a segment featuring TVCH, maybe the same night they run the segment on the live show!

Here is a funny story....I carpool with 4 ppl..they all said they would never watch a reality show..EVER! well,,,,this morning I picked them up and they got in, I had a 35 pg printout of the Live feeds done here thru the nite, I waved it and said something big happened, did anyone want to know...you shoulda seen them grabbing the pages and speed reading while the one in the front was telling them to hurry and give her the pages they had read!!! Needless to say, I have all 4 of them totally hooked on the show

I have been a fan of the show since BB1. My husband, who is not really into reality shows, was on a business trip to LA and I made him go to Belly and get one of the blue and white jerseys for me, while he was there, he had Boogie's partner call me, and I bent his ear for a 1/2 an hour wanting to know if Krista and Mike were still together. He paid a professional film editor to help me with an audition tape, and paid for the fake "banner," from my audtion tape, which was a spoof called the Big Mother House. I had my daughter, who at the time was only 3, snatch a donut from her 2 year old brother so I could film a fight and complain about the fighting house guests in my tape. I pestered my cousins, uncle and aunt and my Mother until they became fans, and then would call them breathless with new info from the live feeds and this board, they, of course now all visit here as well. I registered the domain, arnoldshapirorocks.com, in a blatant attempt to get on the show, but I spent so much time staying up late at night watching feeds that I never got around to building a website. When the shows end I scour the interent for news of the houseguests, and suffer withdrawals, LOL

Just catching up on the thread (so many great fans of BB here) and seeing Monica's quilt again reminded me that BB DOES seem to be incorporating the former hgs. Maybe they'd like to work in having Monica make an appearance or at least a photo shoot with her/quilt (and not to be at all insensitive, but with what is currently going on in the news, to show how TVCH poured its support to a BB hg in honor of her own family loss due to terror, CBS might see a timely tie-in? Hope that doesn't sound inappropriate as it is not meant to be..quite the opposite in fact. Monica would probably enjoy knowing she did and does still have fans, plus it would be easy to work into a group/individual segment I'd think?) No matter who would end up representing "us", I sure hope TVCH or a member is selected!!

I'm a 19 year old BB fan and I have been infatuated and obsessed with the show since its premiere in 2000. I've always wanted to be on the show, but not being 21, I haven't been able to. So what's the next best thing? Recreating the game. I know this is insane, but I have made board games for Big Brother 2, 3, 4, and 5. I didn't for season 1, because there already was one, or for seasons 6 or 7 because, well, I've grown up and don't have that kind of time anymore with college, jobs, etc. But nonetheless, I love the show! I would play the games with family and friends, and would buy real prizes (food, gift cards, etc). I would recreate the competitions the best I could, such as the rainstorm, earthquake, spiderwebs, etc. I was very acute to detail--the boards for seasons 3,4,and 5 are EXACT same as the house blueprints, with each couch, bed, table etc the same colour as it is in the house. I can take pictures of the games if anyone wants. I know it's crazy, but I was a teen obsessed with the show (and still am!). I just hope the show lasts a few more years to I can apply! Oh yeah, I also have an autographed picture of my fav. houseguest, Marcellas. It's my most prized BB posession!

i completely am bewildered what this thread is about. IS it a popularity contest? we are supposed to vote for whom we think she Be part of an Eviction show?? One person ?? Who judges who is worthy? This site is full of serious BB fans. many of us consider this place a second home, full of extended family, I dont put one poster on a pedestal above any other poster. Lurkers have the same value as posters....or rabid posters such as myself! (wish I got paid per post I'd be RICH!!) Just my opinion.

There are probably so many more-deserving fans from this website that have contributed much more than I have, but, since this thread has been posted, I just felt the need to share my story: I am so addicted to Big Brother that I now live in my own version of the BB house! (Sorry for the ultra-long post!) I have been a faithful fan of Big Brother since the first season, when I had a small one-bedroom apartment. I have always had the live feeds in my home every summer. I am addicted to the TVCH discussion board, and feel like I know everyone personally! I don’t post as much as others, but I am on the TVCH site constantly during BB: at home, when I can squeeze time in at work, and sometimes in the middle of the night if I get up and something is happening on the feeds. I get very little sleep during BB season, and my friends don’t ever see me! My sister and I bought an awesome house in 2004 that we like to call the “Big Sister House”. We have a lanai, square swimming pool, hot tub in an above ground wooden deck, just like the original hot tub in the old BB house. We also have BB-inspired hammocks, BBQ grill and a fire pit. Our kitchen is similar to the one in the BB house: a counter with barstools, and open to the living room area. Our house has the same number of bedrooms and my room is the “HOH” room as I am the permanent HOH! Our favorite thing to do is to take the laptop out to the lanai area, get in the pool when the BB houseguests get in their pool and we party together! We also have an exercise room with a treadmill and work out with the houseguests. A couple of weeks ago, we had a family reunion with all the women in the family, and we videotaped the event and sent copies of the tapes to everyone, so this was like filming our own BB summer! We got great BB-inspired video of us cooking, singing karaoke, doing crafts, swimming and playing games. While this was going on, the BB All-Stars live feed was playing on my computer. It was SURREAL!! We’ve now ‘evicted’ the family and are enjoying the rest of the BB All Stars summer, as the final two! We are living the BB experience, except that we will never be voted out! Side notes: My all time favorite houseguest is the “Puppetmaster” – the Evil Dr. Will. So happy that he is in the All Star edition! This season of Big Brother has been great so far but really want BB-8 to consist 12 strangers of diverse backgrounds and age groups placed into the ultimate social experiment that IS Big Brother! Note to BB Producers: The food competition today (8/11) was so much fun, and was great to be able to see it on the internet - reminiscent of BB 1 with a group effort for a common goal. Please give us more of this and less flames - it’s ok with us if we hear production give instructions to the HGs, we kind of like it, and we’ll still watch the TV show even if we’ve already seen the competitions!

just the fact alone that this is a huge group of people that have 'known' each other for years, bonded by BB, together through all sorts of life events, and travelling across country in big groups to meet seems like major reason enuf for this site to be part of ,if not all of the segment. Love all the stories, and look forwarding to seeing or hearing from any of us on the show. Would love to see them show the boardgame, quilt, etc! Or also hear from past HGs who have hung out here and gotten to know us...

I think the best way to deal with it is to not look at it as a "popularity" contest. It's to explain how you see yourself as a BB fan--a BB fanatical fan. There are so many ways to look at it. Notice the quilt. There is quite a history behind that quit, and it involves BB fans. Gatherings or parties--yet another way to be a BB fan. Putting 3 months of dinners in the freezer and telling all your family and friends to bugger off. That's another type of BB fan. Being there for BB1 through now--and doing live feed posts or pouring your life into your favorite HG. Being a BB angel. So many ways to see it. Who knows what they wqant--but I'm very sure that from our ranks will come what they see as the true BB fan

Well for sure when we realized our gathering was Sunday we knew it had to become a viewing party- and being as we will all receive our new quackles from Miss Sea it would be so great to be featured. I myself have been a crazed fan since Season 1,endlessly debate gameplay, and more importantly have become part of a rich community of fans right here. My life completely becomes about BB every summer, to the detriment of my work flow! Suffice it to say when my husband comes home he can tell immediately by my demeanor if I am happy with things in the House. And I do not mean our house,lol.

so this is a stories thread. Okay. I'll have to think about it. I think what COULD be funny is if we took a quick poll as to how many of us are women with Cats. You know, it could be hilarious and a tie-in to some of the HGs funny comments about WHat kind of Person would watch live feeds...let alone transcribe every word that they say!? If someone could come up with a number like 80% with multiple pets.....well, I think it would be good. The other approach could be how many of us are professionals with real jobs. these HGs have suggested that people who keep track of the live feeds are losers without jobs. I think a quick rundown of all the different types of people who watch MIGHT be an interesting way to approach this segment as well. As someone who is now disabled it could maybe be mentioned how this has become a supportive community for people of all backgrounds. TVCH started as a result of BB1 and now has expanded to something quite large and diverse. Instead of focusing on some fans' stories, it could be the story of TVCH and the rabid fans that made it a success.
