Come on be honest.... how much do you sit and watch the feeds? BBAD? Or for that matter how often/long are you on the boards? What is happening/not happening in your life while you are watching BB? I dont have BBAD - I run to the neighbors and watch a little if something good is happening (Jen/Dick fight) Feeds - I dont bother turning them on until 12 or after. I am at work and can just leave them on till I leave, so about 5 hours. Once home - I dont turn them on till say 9pm till about 11. So feeds total about 7 hrs/day. Boards - Less time 1-2 hrs/day Right now no housework is getting done and I have 5 ppl coming for 10 days!

Too much... I can go a few days with no feeds it if is vile time, like Jessica's HoH. But for the most part i have the feeds on from the time i get up until i go to bed. I will have them muted unless i see or read something interesting is going on. No feeds during the day on Tue & Wed i'm at work and connection is horrible. As for the board pretty much every waking moment from July until September.

Bigsiskris...I don't have the feeds nor do I have Showtime. The amount of time spent on the boards used to be "how much spare time do I have?" Now it is even less than that...there is nothing about the house this year worth getting excited about. In fact, I still haven't watched the last two shows, yet, that I have taped and do not know when/if I will.

i dont SIT and watch feeds. For other seasons the PCs would be on from the moment I woke up until I go to bed. which is why I rarely missed anything. LOL This season.....mmmmmm not so much. I dont really care about these people. they dont seem normal to me. they are all cartoon characters to me. stereotypical personalities

(Sun, welcome back, you were missed ) I keep the feeds on every waking moment. I have wireless at work and watch there, even when I can't listen from my laptop. I carry the laptop with me from room to room in the house, lol. BBAD is Tivo'ed every night, and I generally fast forward thru the boring stuff and watch the strategy convos and fights I may miss during that time. I'm on the board a lot more than I post. Pretty much the board is up before the feeds are for me. It's the first thing I connect to in the morning and the last thing I close before I go to sleep.

Past seasons I'd watch listen as often as I could...at work and home. This season mot much at all for a variety of reasons one being I don't care much for this seasons cast. I usually get up at 5:00 central time and turn on the feeds until they all go to sleep. I'll check in at work on and off. I tivo showtime but hardly watch it. Most seasons I'm all excited to watch the feeds make room for it in my day/night. However I monitor this board throughout the day.

when i first got shotoo (specifically for the feeds, my husband got it as a surprise....BIG MISTAKE) I use to watch it religiously. It starts here at midnight and runs til 3, then i would sleep all day. Nothing was getting done in my house and it was a disaster (more like a crime scene), now I turn it on, watch it to fall asleep, tape it and run through it the next day. Same thing with the boards, use to jump on it every 15-30 minutes to see if anything new was being said, now maybe check it 2 or 3 times a day. I don't have the live feeds, but if they got it on a tv station, instead of the computer I would and I would have a tv dedicated to it and keep it on 24 hours a day so I could hear it in the background and run any time anything sounds good. Wow, does that mean my life is pathetic or what. lol

Haven't had feeds for 3 years now....get about all I need from here. Certainly don't stay up late enough to see BBAD and I don't have a DVR but even if I did I doubt I'd spend my evenings watching/catching up. First two or three years I was glued to my feeds. Even opened them up at work and let them run in the background....they've since cut that link at work so you can't get the live feeds but that wasn't a deciding factor for me in terms of whether I got the live feeds or not.

I don't have the feeds, and I only watch BBAD only on Saturdays or Sundays. There is no way I can stay up late enough to watch BBAD so I tape it. During the day I monitor the live feed summaries constantly, after 3:00 PM only every couple of hours at home and I am off of the computer by 9:30 PM if the next day is a working day.

I did not get the feeds this year... BBAD has been so boring, I watch about the first 30 to 60 minutes and call it a night. Check boards to read thread titles, usually click on two or three a couple times a day... so in other words, my BB8 addiction doesn't exsist! Just a morbid curiosity.

I've watched the feeds far less this year than any other year. I will read here in the Current House thread and if it looks like something good is going on, I turn them on. Otherwise, they are off mostly. ETA: I have BBAD but rarely make it past 1 am eastern time. I record it and sometimes I watch it the next day, sometimes not.

Summer is over for me and I start back to work today, so I will be going through BB withdrawl. The kids don't start until Monday so hopefully I can check in a few times today and tomorrow. I love that I can tape BBAD watch it and then catch up from this board. I know I won't miss much except spending a good deal of my day with all of you.

Smokey, my habits sound similar to yours. I've been watching them much less than prior years also. Personally, this group just isn't doing it for me this year, not really keeping my interest enough. I mostly read the board here too and sometimes turn on the feeds by what's being posted at the time. (And sometimes I have not wanted to turn on the feeds by what's being posted on the board at certain times. LOL) Lately I'd say I watch 1/2 to maybe an hour a day..if something a little more interesting is happening. A few of weeks ago I'd tend to put them on for several hours later in the evening, but as HGs have left I mainly stick to checking the board here. I don't have Showtime, so I haven't seen any of BBAD. For those of you that have BBAD, do you feel as though this has had any type of negative effect on BB or the HGs in their actions, drama, etc? I've been wondering if that has played any role in HGs "acting" more to make "good" TV. I've heard a few make mention of that at times. Of course that's certainly wouldn't be a first for HGs either! As BB's has progressed, you seem to see more and more want to be savvy to afford them getting more TV time.

My neighbor (my brother) has BBAD and I am so jealous. I occasionally watch it with them. Bic - That is funny! you carrying around your laptop. Live Feeds - I work @ a office where it is just me and the boss and he has hearing aids in both ears, so he would NEVER know even if he IF HE DID CARE. LOL Boards - I am on them now and again. But I dont read archives so I miss a lot, only what is posted as new..

I don't know about you but I find myself just glancing through the summary of what went on during the day and glancing in a big hurry the Screencaps (that was my favorite thread) and so happy to be back doing something else with my free time. I really don't care who wins this game... just harboring a tiny tiny wish it could be someone I could tolerate a bit, maybe Jessica or Jameka. I also find myself less willing to participate in the discussions as I'm losing interest. Or maybe my vacation is over...

This season I haven't picked a favorite so the feeds are as interesting now as they were in the beginning. My problem is that I have to go to bed at night and don't get to watch when the interesting things are going on.

I have to follow the feeds less--I need my life back! But I will check in to see if anything interesting is going down. I am not that interested in more Jen bashing, or Zach bashing, or fill-in-the-blank bashing, or beer pong, or the Squeaky One emitting high-pitched squeals, or Jameka alternately parked in the HOH or pouting on the block, or America's Player rambling, twitching, and being snide, or Dick's entire existence on the planet Earth. The game lost any sense of surprise, or hope of redemption, when Dustin left. Comeuppance is what I want to see people--a comeuppance!!! PM me if you see one coming.

I expect that things will start to get really boring next week, which means I will slow down. What will be funny is to see the reaction of those in sequester once ED shows up,I expect them to laugh at him. I find watching/listening to Eric particulary painful as it is so very boring.

I used to be addicted to the feeds and this board for the past 8 years, rushing home from work every night to check on my hamsters. Now I'm just addicted to this board! I may turn the feeds on, but don't pay much attention to it because the people bore me to death! I have Showtoo, but hardly ever watch it. The day that Eric explained to Amber why he voted Dustin out was great because it put me to sleep better than Ambien. Eric uses 1,000,000 words to communicate a simple point. I think he just likes to hear himself talk. This year, I will finally get my life back thanks to the BB8 cast.
