Why would HC start today when the first show hasn't aired yet? I am sure IF they are doing it, it will start tomorrow.

I don't know, Typingfool. I thought I saw a blurb about their being a show July 5th, but it must have been about BB starting. You'd think they'd at least have the Housecalls section on the CBS website by now.

i'd presume that they are wondering how it is going to work. Gretchen by herself could never carry the show IMHO. She is just too out of the loop as to who people are and what is happening on feeds. I personally loved Marcellus on the show. He was so catty. he was also not afraid to change his mind about a contestant. he would be extolling their virtures and a few weeks later declare They must GO! LOL and...Love him or hate him, Marcellus used to say what many of us were thinking to ourselves.

I cannnot find any mention to Housecalls anywhere, except for the press release of Marcellus saying he would not be doing it this year. One minute Gretchen is hosting, the next she is not, according to rumors...but why no mention of the show on CBS??? I am wondering if they are not doing the show this year or if they just can't get the hosts they want. I would be much happier if someone came out with the same show but not affiliated with CBS. The hosts kept saying they were not allowed to talk about anything that happened before it aired on the CBS show. Maybe that is why they did not watch the feeds...for fear of slipping? I really enjoyed the interviews with Rob on his reality website. They were as raw and real as they could get! We need a show/interviewer who watches the feeds and discusses the immediate happenings with no strings attached!

Rob Mariano? Where is his website? I completely agree with you about having someone not from CBS hosting the show so everything can be talked about.

hey, maybe there is something in the works with Showtime? In other countries there are tv hosts which do a "housecalls" type show. Later this could be accessed via the internet but I could see people trying to encourage the Showtime officials to do it.

Sunshyne4u, I'm with you. I like Gretchen, but she never seemed to have the pulse that the general public had for the show. There were a lot of talking points that she missed entirely or blew off as irrelevant. That's the ONLY reason I liked Marcellus he talked about what the audience really wanted to discuss.

maybe we need to bombard CBS with 'Bring back Marcellus and Housecalls' emails

House Calls I love, but Marcellas can stay gone.

Gretchen never even watches the feeds. I like her but she never knows what's going on. You need someone like Marcellas who is obsessed with the feeds.

Well, Gretchen is doing HC again this year. It was promoted on the show tonight. Good! Hotfudge, I think CBS has told Gretchen not to spoil by telling what's happening on the feeds. She does watch them, but refrains from discussing developments until they air. I'm sure CBS makes her do that.

Cricket, it was the other Rob from Survivor... Rob Cesternino and Josh Sousa (from BB1) had the reality website "The Fishbowl". They did the best interviews after all the shows. They all watched the feeds.
