Seems like when ever I get a chance to watch BBAD the camera is on Dick doing the dishes. They eat so late at night. Last night I saw the house getting along and Dick doing his after dinner clean up. Of course he spits phlegm into the sink drain and I begin to wretch. My hubby, who is just falling asleep next to me, starts and wants to know whats wrong. I tell him about the cause up of what just happened. He rolls his eyes and said to me "I can not believe (pause for effect) that we are paying for showtime, live feeds and high speed Internet so you can gross yourself out at the drop of a hat." He is right......something has to give. I know I have gone over board this summer but last summer was so lame and predictable. I am really into this season and it's making me a wreck. My job is good because I can set my own schedule but frankly I am having trouble making myself go to work. I spend all my time lurking around here and jokers and my kids say I snap at them when the bother me...........I think I need a BB intervention. Should I cancel the feeds or Showtime? Will I be able to get my kids off to school on the first day without sitting down to see if I missed anything during the night. Will my husband ever get to record his choice of program on the DVR with out me yelling at him "your not canceling my Big Brother are you"? I am begining to think I should talk to the producer about issues in the house. This is a sure sign that I am getting to involved, to (dare I say) obsessed?

Every other season I was glued to the feeds but this year I've almost stopped watching. Watching Dick just aggravates me so who needs that? I do check in here a few times a day and at Jokers.

I usually watch BBAD either Friday night or Saturday night. I don't have the feeds.

I listen to them 12 hours or more a day. I work online so I keep them running and if anything interesting is going on I am a click away from watching.

I canceled my Real Play today........BBAD is on right this minute and I am not watching.....but I can't seen to give TVClubhouse. I hope i hold out...... I really want to go to bed and lay there watching/listening to the houseguests. Last night I listened to Eric and Amber for the longest time.... and eventually fell asleep. I think I will keep Showtime because I like Weeds and Dexter.......Anyway I have made a commitment to taper off on the Big Brother.

When I should be studying my homework for college (just started...hard to get in the swing of things again)...I am on here...catching up, reading other people's opinions and whatnot. I don't watch the feeds...only ordered them once...just not on enough to make it worthwhile.

The fast-forward button on the remote gets a severe workout during every BBAD eppy (especially whenever Eric is part of a scene). Kimsue -- Don't forget to watch "Californication" -- it's as deliciously funny as "Dexter" was deliciously addictive was last season. I resisted watching it because of Duchovny, but I gave the first episode a chance and it was hysterical. The couple of episodes that have aired in addition to the pilot have been great.

Oh...my hubby moans every year when it is BB time! He says it takes over my life! LOL! I watch everything, CBS show, feeds, Showtime! I have been known to have someone from TVCH text me the results of an HOH or POV last year because I was at work and could not wait to find out. I have been an avid fan since the very first season (my personal favorite). This year I find myself caring very little for the remaining HGs or much about who wins. There are so many things this year that have left me less than enthusiastic about the show. I won't stop watching...but at this point, if next year is like this, or worse, I might be persuaded. I would like to go back to HGs that are a mix of personalties (not devoid of them) living in the same house. Not a bunch of people with agents or agendas. I don't want a bunch of hot bodies (which it seemingly has become). I want a bunch of intelligent, fun people. Even those Hgs that we loved to hate in the past were some of the most intelligent and some of the most interesting. Will, Boogie, Shannon, Hardy, Nicole, Monica ,Kent....all in the same season! Even the silly ones like Amy and Holly made us really laugh! Great alliances of the likes of Daniele/Jason, Will/Boogie, Janelle/Kayser/Howie/James, The 4 Horseman(LOL!)made us talk for hours. This season is just a little bit like eating Chinese food for me...I am left not quite satified and still hungry for something more substancial. That said my hubby's first words to me when he gets home are still "So what is happening in the house?" and he doesn't mean ours!

Not as into it this year as in the past. Do not have the feeds - I rely on the live feed posters (thanks!!!) and check the boards a couple times a day. I record BBAD and turn it on in the early morning and listen to it while I do housework, laundry, etc. If something interesting happens I rewind and watch that part, but mostly it is pretty dull.

On Showtime I use fast forward a lot LOL , I do like that I can mute the TV and close Cap. comes up LOL, so whispers arn't safe as I watch it scroll across the screen what they whisper LOL

I'ved watched the show since the first season but never got the feeds. I record BBAD and watch it daily but ff thru' the games and watch the strategy talks. If the feeds were on a cable channel i would probably subscribe to that so I could move around the house and get things done while watching but otherwise, I try to have some kind of life during the day atleast. Not that happy with the cast this year but I spend more time here than anywhere else because it is great for info and the people here are the best. BB would be nothing without TVCH.
