It's really choppy and cutting out for me. Anyone else having problems?

If Dick is going to be "co-host" he needs to learn to answer the callers' questions instead of just rambling on self-centeredly.

Not a single skip or chop here during the whole show for me, Ch3j0r.


Forgot to say Dani is co-hosting tomorrow in place of Dick just for this one week he said.

I'm guessing it's over(?) I didn't get to see much of it because most of today's episode cut out on me.

Ch3j0r, they archive the shows later in the day if you miss it live. Sometimes they don't get them up until very late, but sometimes they surprise us and get them up in 3 or 4 hours.

I'm really curious if they will explain why Sharon really isn't there.

They haven't said a thing about Jacob and Sharon not being there. I can't believe they are just ignoring it lol!

I can't believe either that they hung up on you!

Gretchen mentioned in the beginning of this show that there was a lot going on the feeds and encouraged people to get them, but they werent going to spoil the show. She did allude to perhaps there being a special House Calls show for live feed watchers. So I guess for now, House Calls is really on geared for those who only watch the CBS show..

which in itself is ridiculous becasue chances are (not saying exclusively but probally more often than not) people who would watch housecalls are on the interenet and either have feeds or go to sites that talk about whats going on in the house 24/7.

And this is where the schedule this year is really going to screw with them. Since Neil left AFTER nominations, they are going to have to figure out a way to put this on Sundays show, otherwise they'll be talking about it a week after it happened (next Wednesday). Even that strains credibility just a little..

I understand why they don't want to spoil the show. At the same time, since they are trying to sell the feeds and BBAD, it would be good to discuss what is happening there. What on earth will they talk about tomorrow that is remotely interesting?

Also since it was advertised on the TV Show that Sharon and Jacob would be there, they should have at least said something even if it was bogus as to why they weren't there. It was ridiculous to just ignore it.

Maybe they can do what they did when they reran the feeds- put a show on one of them when the feeds are out for a competition (You could do it once or twice a week during POV or food comps).

I understand why they don't want to do it as well (they want people to buy the feeds), so they need to make some sort of compromise....

Who is the heck does she think THIS HC's is for? The LF watchers are the people who watch HC's and call in. People who just watch the show don't tend to tune in to HC. These people need to buy a clue.

So I guess for now, House Calls is really on geared for those who only watch the CBS show..

Since BB7 House Calls have mainly catered to show watchers only. IMO, that's when HCs took a turn for the worse and became unwatchable as a feedster.

I think House Calls was at its best during BB6 when callers could talk about current house happenings on the feeds. I think that freedom was due to Marcellas being the co-host as he was able to add to caller comments. Say what you will about Marcellas, he without a doubt was a good co-host. He stayed current with the feeds and kept up with all the hot topics on the message boards. Even though I grew tired of Marcellas by the end of BB6, that perspective he brought really made House Calls a must-see web cast during BB6.

I wonder if there is a way for CBS to take a poll of HC watchers, to see how many are just show watchers and how many follow the internet feeds.
I agree, with those that would take the time to watch HC on the internet would definitely be interested in finding out what happens on the feeds too.

I think the problem is it doesn't appear that anyone who has hosted since Marcellas really has cared to WATCH the feeds. So they can't talk about what they don't see.

Danielle seems to be watching the feeds...she was up to date, she just couldn't divulge current info because of restrictions.

It sounds like Danielle is watching feeds and BBAD. She definitely knew what was going on and had to watch what she said so she didn't give it away. I sensed she would have loved to talk about some of that. Certainly not everybody who watches HC actually has the feeds, but if they don't, I bet 99.9% of them are keeping up with live feed posts to find out what is going on. I bet they would get more online viewers of HC if they would discuss what is happening on the feeds.
