I'm not a huge Rosie O'Donnell fan, but........she does watch the feeds and we all know, after the way she was with Boogie, that she doesn't mind asking the hard questions lol. I think she'd be a hoot.

Oh hey, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Marcellas "back in the day" but he totally lost me after he spent all season trashing Maggie and her friends, but then told us off for it and refused to ask them any hard questions when they were booted out. Combine that with his endless whining and robe wearing and I'm so over him it's not funny. As demonstrated by all the messages Bunky had someone else post here (nothing against them at ALL...they are just doing as requested), I stand by my feelings about him. If he's not the host and too high and mighty to lower himself to talk to us firsthand to ask for support or say thanks, well heck with him too!!! As others would say, I want someone who watches the show, will ask the questions WE want to ask. I do feel we need a past HG to balance it out with insider stories etc, plus no way Rosie would do a show like this IMHO. It would be fun though! But it was her first year watching and I'd love someone with BB history so they can discuss it intelligently. What always made the show was dishing about what was really going on...so if it just becomes fluff I'd say it's days are over. I would love to see a tryout with Kaysar. He might be too nice, but I've heard him be harsh and direct and hit the nail on the head. Maybe the first couple weeks have a few different folks on and let us vote on who we like. But I think Jase was aweful and aside from the reasons I mentioned above, I don't think Bunky added much, esp since he never seemed up to date on what was going on. I say time to try some new faces. Anyone know what Janelle is up to? She would be fun too. I'd say maybe Howie, but I don't think he'd be able to stop promoting himself and talk about the show so forget that!

Lurk, according to Janelle's chat last night, she will be doing a few appearances on House Calls. Apparently Gretchen was not asked back (lol) and Janelle was asked to do it but didn't want to commit to the entire summer as she didn't want to be in LA for the whole summer and she has plans to go to Europe in there somewhere. I'm not sure if CBS is having Marcellas back either.

Janelle had a chat??? Why don't I ever know about these things off season??? Any news on TAR? And I'm glad they asked Janie to do it...sorry she can't. But kinda sorry Gretchen won't be back because without a pro, if they use BB folks it could turn into a total nightmare IMHO. Plus she did a pretty good job, after her first month or so lol. I can't see them turning to Marci for a gazillion reasons, unless they end up absolutely desperate. Seems to me they should have this wrapped up with less than a month to go. Gotta love Janie though...what other's are beggin for, she doesn't want. Hehehehe! I really hope TAR is in her future! Thanks for the info.

She didn't give any info about TAR. (But, even if she's going to be on the Amazing Race, I guess she can't confirm or deny?) She did say that she and her little sister Angela (and Bear) were leaving Sunday on a one week road trip from Miami to Minnesota and that she had to clean her apt and pack on Saturday as she wouldn't be back in Miami this summer.

If you remember Bunky did not watch the feeds either...he just watched the shows....with him and Gretchen it would be like the 'blind leading the blind'....Jase did not watch them either!

That's why I don't do much more than listen to Housecalls. Because they won't discuss real-time events, only what makes the broadcast. It will be interesting to see what happens with the Showtime broadcast to see if they will discuss things that happen there or not.

Thanks for the vote of confidence but they would have to broadcast Live from the Hutch since I don't live anywhere near LA. I agree with everyone else that Gretchen's co-host does need to watch the feeds if she isn't going to do it. The broadcasts are obsolete otherwise.

I never did understand the concept of commenting on something if you haven't done your homework.

They should come on the Big Brother Boards and get peeps to volunteer to go and discuss it with Gretchen!! I have been watching bb since the first one and have participated on the net since then too!! A lot of peeps would jump at the chance, methinks!! LOL Or maybe they could get peeps to write in with questions and opinions that actually watch the feeds!! Otherwise I am afraid it is going to be a waste of time again!! Just sayin!!!

Actually, it's not necessary to watch the feeds to host Housecalls. HCs is driven by the televised show, not the feeds. The producers of HCs screen caller questions so feed watchers won't spoil for those who only watch the show. I watched HCs almost every day during BB6 and as a feed watcher the most frustrating thing about HCs was that there was never detailed discussion about what feedsters watched the night before.

The stupidity here with not allowing feedwatchers to talk about what they are seeing on HC's is it does nothing to promote folks into getting the live feeds. If they want more feed watchers, then talk about what goes on after dark, IMHO.

I think they have proved over and over again that they don't care about us. Of course for the life of me I can't figure out why!! <shaking Head>

I know - it's a mystery to me too. I think that the majority of viewers of House Calls are feed watchers and I think it should be a place where up to date feed info is discussed. I would guess that most people who subscribe to the feeds also watch the show so I wouldn't think that it would have any impact on the ratings for the TV show. It's frustrating to know information that isn't being talked about.

I believe it's because it interferes with their perception of the "story" that goes on in the house.
