So I am curious to know how many of us are alone in our BB watching at home, or how many family members we have corrupted into watching?? My family is sort of split down the middle. My hubby thinks that BB is the 'dumbest show ever created' (lol) Funny enough, I've corrupted his 70 yr old mother and she has been glued to BB for four seasons now I've had my own mother watching for five. My father and sister shake their heads.

Fortunately, my husband is out of town almost every Thursday night. He hates reality TV and hates how much time I spend on the borad and the feeds. If he only really knew........ This year it was a lot less though

My two oldest sons (ages 22 and 24) watch it with me (or have me record it for them to watch later if they're working). They're the only ones who live with me. My sister also watches the show and has the feeds and ShowToo, so we talk on the phone about it. My mom and my brother also watch.

my daughter (greekbread) is 17 and watches the show, feeds, and showtime2 depending on what is going on with the feeds(we DVR it and just delete it if nothing was going on). my husband just watches the show. we can't tell him spoilers. oh and on eviction night i have my BFF Mary read me the spoilers over the telephone if i'm not near my computer.

None of us have the live feeds. My daughter and granddaughter, three sisters, one niece, and bf all watch, but I'm the only one with spoiler information from here in the clubhouse. None of them want to be spoiled. Keep telling them 'behind the scenes' information is so much better than just the tv show.

My DH just watches the show and doesn't want to know any of the spoilers. I do tell him some of the stuff the show doesn't show though. My 18yr old DD only watches the show sometimes but I give her updates a couple times a week. My best friend only watches the show. I've tried to get her to come here but she hasn't yet. On all the other seasons we been able to talk about all stuff going on in the house but not this year about a month ago her and I got in a big fight about Dick and Jen and we didn't talk to each other for about 2 wks. We had to call a truce though but we agreed not to talk about BB anymore this year. I miss it. Sorry about the rambling.

Just my 14 yr old DD watches w/me and we chat about the houseguest, comps, food etc. My DH will occasionally see parts of it and then ask a ton of Qs...DURING the show! So I usually tell him to watch & be quiet and he'll find out the answer...so then he goes to do something else, LOL. My 16 yr old isn't into reality shows, except the Amazing Race. And my two younger ones go to bed at 8:30 so they don't get to see it.

The following is a true and accurate version of a telephone conversation I had with my sister the first night BB came on: Me: Hello. Sister: It's me, I have a legal question for you. Me: Now? Big Brother just came on - its the first show. Sister: It's really important. Me: Call me back when the show is over. Sister: When should I call you back? Me: September. I then hung up on her - needless to say she wasn't very happy with me.

my husband always groans at the beginning of july when greekbread and i start getting excited "another summer of not getting a damn thing done around this house". and then at the end of july, he's hooked watching the show too!

No one watches. I go on "lockdown" from July until September. Now that I have BB on Showtime, my hubby won't even come to bed until after 3 am. It's my show and I won't even talk or answer the phone while it's on, even though I DVR each episode. Yes, I know I have issues, but so do most of you ;)

We all watch it together and we make the neighbor kids leave when it comes on so that nobody else is talking during the show because we all know that nobody talks except for during the commercials, when we watch it live. Usually we try to start watching 20 minutes in so that we can watch it straight through on the DVR.

I have watched all the seasons...to some degree. My daughter is a faithful watcher too. During BB1, we were lucky enough to watch it 24/7 for free. I had it on at work, as well as home. Since then I have bought it a few times, but I have found that TVCH fulfills my need to know!!

I have watched all seasons too and watched BB1 life feeds too - what a different show that was! My DH watches only the shows on tv and doesn't want to know what is going to happen. I usually just point out when the scenes are out of sequence or if they happened days ago. My brother calls it "Big Dummy" but he loves it too - just watches the tv show and sho2. Our guilty summer pleasure

My husband makes fun of it year after year.... but would sometimes watch it. This season he actually watches every episode and wants to know the spoiler stuff too... He makes the excuse that "if you can't beat em' join em". He says its just his way of spending time with me... I call BullSH*T!!! tehehe He even has his favorite houseguests.

My 10-year old daughter (I know, way too young for a lot of this stuff) watches it with me and she sneaks in for live feeds when she catches me at a weak moment. I knew it was bad when one day she told me she had read the results of a competition on jokers.

I've always watched it alone as I live alone, but mid-season 1 I learned my 70 year old Dad also watches. When he misses something because Tivo messes up, he has to call me to see what he missed. Soooo, early this season I showed him TVCH. Since he's not incredibly computer saavy, he asked me to put it in his favorites. Not sure if he reads here often or not, but at least he now knows the perfect place to go for an update. (No, I didn't tell him my username). (Edited to add I haven't turned him onto the feeds yet. He knows I watch them and asks me about them, but my mother would kill me if I gave him another reason to sit in his recliner and do nothing.

Didn't know where to put this but since it's a family thread.... I wanted to say it just because... ...if I seen how my daughter '(s) were treated by Dick the way some of these daughters have been treated and they names they've been called... ...I'd be waiting for Dick the moment he stepped back into the real world.. ...as I'm sure Dick would do the same. jes' sayin'.

Agreed, Nick. Dick is going to need those body guards. I think he is starting to get scared too. And rightfully so. If Dick said anything to me like he has said to the HGs-- my DH, brother and dad (and he's 81, lol) would all be waiting for him at the door.

What goes around comes around. He will deserve what ever he gets. Now he will have some money to hire those bodyguards seeing as BB only supplies them with some for 48 hours. I imagine this season they had to hire alot for the HG. lol

My husband starts watching with me mid-season, at which time he doesn't want to know the spoilers. After a couple of weeks of being wrong on his predictions, he lets me spoil him. My older daughter watches with me on Sunday nights if she's visiting with me cause she knows she'll have to. No flipping channels when BB is on...lol And I found out last week that my dad and his wife watch, but don't have any spoiler information. In fact, dad said they didn't know what happened to the rabbit in the 3-part HOH comp, and would pass on my "spoiler" info to his wife. My 8-year old watches with me sometimes (if it's a "mild" show) and wanted to get online last week to read about BB. Her dad and I said "NO!" at the same time...she can't help it, she listens to me telling her what's going to happen before it does and wants to be in the loop, too. Kind of like when I give her gossip scoop on her High School Musical stars.
