I just watched my tape from last night and I have to say that the drinking game was the funniest thing so far this season. I'd said that if I took a shot every time she said "like", I'd die of alcohol poisoning. It was just too funny. Finally, something that was worth watching from all my taping.

So true, Mamie316! I had to watch that last 10 minutes twice! And it was hysterical when Dustin pointed out that Jen was plucking her eyebrows with no mirror!

The picture of Eric crouching in the shower is hilarious. Having said that, I'm glad his johnson wasn't showing. There isn't a johnson in this house I'm interested in seeing.

The "I -You" drinking game with Mike, Dustin and Jen (who didn't know about it) happened in very the last 10 minutes of the 3 hours .

Just wondering if anything exciting happened on ShowToo last night. I usually see the first hour of it then nod off while it's being recorded. Anything good happen in the last hour of it that makes it worth taking the time to watch?

The game they played last night was very telling SF..how they answered the questions made me go hmmmmm..Dick would stop for a wounded animal and thought all the hgs would, but Jamika said she would pray for the animal but would not stop for them. There wasn't much drama, but we got a good sense of who these people are by their answers.

the games have all been great. I even enjoyed Zuma Zuma..They seem to mostly get along better than a lot of other seasons, except of course for KailMaggie..
Just wondering... has anyone else's TVclubhouse participation been greatly changed by Showtime??
For all the past years, I have sat at the puter watching my bad modem feeds and hanging at the clubhouse while I watch, but now i end up on the sofa with hubby trying to get thru 3 hours of the Showtime, enjoying the giant hamsters in full movement and sound, but then I am not at the puter and dont have time to do that on top of it. Anyone else been affected this way? Other than missing the clubhouse, I love the Showtime and sure wish we had it last year..

I personally have found myself staying up late at night to watch the feeds. I enjoy the chat room while I am watching the feeds.

Tonight I am recording the BBAD with my TiVO. Since no one is in chat, I think I may be heading to bed. I have a few late nights planned this weekend with my Harry Potter book.

Whispering is so much more decipherable on showtime than the internet feeds...

You can also use closed captioning on the tv which you can't on the internet to deciper what you can't quite hear.

How could they add close captioning to the ShowToo feed when it is being broadcast LIVE (on the east coast at least)?

I guess they might be able to do that on the regular BB episodes because they are edited in advance, but that's an impossible task on the ShowToo BB After Dark show.

CC on Showtime is delayed by 10-15 seconds, but it's still great to decipher what the whisperers are saying.

Doh!

I just checked my tape again, and the CC captioning is there...delayed as Chere said, but there. It amazes me that they do it so quickly.

Never mind! :-)

The close-caption typists are definitely typing in real time. Whoever is doing it has to have a typing speed of nothing less than 150wpm!

Pamy, I think your tv needs to have the CC option built in or you have to have a CC box.

My TV has a set-up option in the menu that lets me choose among several CC options, program info, or to "off".

-----------------

edited to add - Of course, the TV in my bedroom doesn't have CC and that's where I watch BB AD! I watch it in bed until I start to get sleepy which usually happens about 10 minutes into an Amber crying jag.

Hey Pamy, just let one of your pups (not sure about cats) or borrow someones baby and let them near your remote! I've never been able how to figure out how to get the cc on one tv but everytime my nephew or the dog gets near the remote they manage to turn it on, lol.
