Zach and Nick were talking about playing chess and it sounded as if Zach had beat him a few times already. Mike and Jen seemed to be playing chess on their "date".

After last nights broadcast they had Julie Chen on doing her "do you like to watch" and clips from last year. I would love three hours a night from last year. Especially tivo'd so you can fast forward.

So far, the director has been very generous about placing the commerical. It usually comes in at about :28 past the hour, but that's when Zach and Kail started talking about keeping Carol instead of Amber-- we're at :36 now and they still haven't interrupted with a commercial yet.

Did you see that? They just ran a crawl across the bottom of the screen that quickly gave the background of what's going on and who's playing whom! ("Joe is getting on everyone's nerves.") Interesting. This broadcast changes night by night...

I just came to say that, too, Bastable! I'm actually impressed by the summary on the crawler, much better than teases and promos and Julie Chen/CBS misdirection.

Boy, that exercise session up stairs last night was very entertaining. I went to bed during Evil and Kail in the tea cup. Cough, cough.

OMG, we watched Kail and Dick in the teacup, and he seemed a little manic to me. He was talking a mile a minute and barely came up for air. Kail was a lot more patient with him than I would be. She just nodded her head a lot and let him go on and on . . .and on . . . and on . . .

I decided to only tape the Showtime 12 to 3 sessions on Fri.and Sat. As a true sleepyhead I have to get my 7 hours,get to work early/out early.
Watching 3 hours every day of Jen, Joe, Eric or Carol would send me screaming and pulling my hair out by the roots.

During this showtime 3 hour block the HGs seem so fake to me. They are all playing to the camera. I think they might've been told to be more "interesting" between 9-12 and not to take naps or be boring during the 3 hours of LIVE TV..

They are having these ridiculous fake "dates". Jen took off her top last night at the beginning of the show and was wearing a too-tiny bikini top and Dustin called her on showing too much skin and she put it back on. Then they all did pilates and the cameraman made it a point to do a lot of closeups of Jessica's crotch when her legs were spread! (she was wearing white pants, but still.....)

Last night they even mentioned the fact they were on LIVE TV a few times....even pointing out that sharing their feelings would be on LIVE TV. A couple of them were asking the time, trying to figure out how much longer before the LIVE show was over.

They seem to be playing to the cameras a lot more from 9-12 each night than what I read about in the live feeds during other hours.

Marameko, I just record it every night and then check the board the following day to see if anything exciting happened. If something exciting happened, I can go check the tape.

Of course, nothing exciting has happened so I haven't needed to check the tape yet! And I just re-record over the same tape each night.

I agree, the live feeds on Showtime are driving me crazy. I think I will just check the boards too from now on.

I was so excited about being able to watch BB on showtime each night. That was short lived. I cancelled it this morning. I just couldn't take watching three hours a night of these totally boring folks any more. It's much more fun to read everything on here.

I have an EVEN GREATER respect for the live feeders now! How they can watch these people (possibly the most boring cast in BB history) without ripping their eyes from their sockets, I'll never know.

I fell asleep this afternoon watching Dick and Kail in the teacup. However- I am enjoying Showtime more- because I go to bed- record it- and then watch it (and fastforward) the next day.

i had the feeling they were playing to the cameras since they knew the were on Showtime. What BB really needs to do is take away all clocks so they have no idea what time it is...(remember season one with Josh & setting the clock back? they did not even have a clock until they made that potato clock) maybe on live show days BB can give them a general idea of the time but why not mess with them and why not give us a more real view of the house? of course even after whining like this i am still watching, lol

The drinking game with the Zach, Mike and Dustin listening to Jen saying I and you was hysterical.

Please, please send this girl home.

The Showtime feeds are so obviously set up each night. From the superficial dates I guess they think will "spice things up" a bit. Ha! But the most obvious setup to me was last night's shower scene. First they had Mike scrub the shower to make it nice and clean so when Jen and Jess jumped in we'd get a cleaner view of the 2 beauty queens in their bikinis taking a shower side by side. I never watched anything more boring in my life.
I can understand the producers wanting to coach them a bit to make the feeds more interesting.. but at least have them do things that the average viewer really cares about. It's usually in conversations, conflicts, alliance betrayals, etc... not these made up dates or watching Jen in her stripper bikinis! This season is starting to become the biggest yawner ever.
