Hi everyone! For the very first time in all these years I am way too busy between new dog and business to do much beyond watching the shows. In fact- that is all I am able to watch and this has given me a great perspective of what that is like without feeds or Showtime (have them both but no time). Is James going? I hope not. I like him, based on the shows. As someone watching only the shows I do not like Matt at all. I fear he will take control. As someone watching only the shows, I voted Parker back in. feel free to let me know how skewed and way off my view of things has been! I miss you all!

I'm only watching the shows and not even when they air, only on the website when I have time. Your instincts about Matt may be correct.

I don't think the TV show has shown the bad side of James yet (has it?) But I'm pretty sure he's leaving. And I don't really think Matt has much power in the house. People just seem to protect him right now, but he's definitely a target. Sheila is the one to fear IMO! I would love to rewind after a season, erase everything I've watched on the feeds, and only watch the TV show, just to see how things differ.

For the first few weeks, I was only watching the shows due to moving and no internet yet. I had the same opinion on most everything as you did also, THEN I got my net back and whoooooaaaa was I wayyyyyyy off base on James. Just shows you the amount of editing done by BB in the first place that so many of us that were only watching the shows found James likeable and then get on the feeds, discussions and boards and see the "real" James.

Meggie, I am thinking that this summer I might spend less time on the computer and just watch the Tivo'ed shows. This season has left me a little bored and I was off work for most of it so far. I only went back to work this week. The feeds annoyed me and there was/has been much less chatter here on the TVCH then in usual BB seasons. Wish I had been smart like you.

this is why i rely so much on coming in here and reading peoples opinions that have the live feeds. if you just watch the show you only see the "story" that cbs wants you to see. i only have a webtv so getting the live feeds isnt an option but i have gotten BBAD the last 2 years and i notice how much the edit peoples characters just from that.

Meggie, I "think" James is going. He's less likeable on feeds but I still would rather have him stay. I don't like Mattie AT ALL.. he has a real mean streak. Sheila too. They lie and manipulate. Sheila, much as I don't like what she's doing, may be playing a good game .. she is definitely stirring things up and influencing decisions, but it remains to be seen if this will get her booted soon or not. I think she's causing others to be seen in a bad light so it may be keeping her there longer and she could just make it to the end. Mattie plays more of a bully's game, using others , some of whome just donate their loyalty to him. He could also make it to the end, but less for game "play". He and Sheila could have be awesome allies but they might also have killed each other. I also gave the votes I did make to Parker. Miss you too. And to be honest, you are missing less on the feeds than in most seasons. Well, based on the times I actually watch them. I cannot listen too long to Sheila, Natalie, Sharon, Mattie and sometimes others as well. Miss you, too.

Well, you got 1 out of 3, Meggie, LOL. Yes, Matt is pompous and annoying, but James was running the show and would have won. He reacted horribly to being put on the block; threw pickle juice on Nat and actually suggested his own girlfriend go up, thinking it would help improve his own game. It backfired on him. Parker constantly whined that BB played him and was unfair to him..blah, blah. Not the best person to go back in. It's very interesting to see your take on the show because you're an avid fan and it shows how different the shows are from the live feeds.

Who did you vote for Cricket? I foud it hard wanting any of them back! I did NOT want Alex as I would not even watch the tv show if Matt and Alex took over. Matt thinks he is all that- and for me, at least, he is wrong! I am glad it went the way it did tonight.

Dick was saved by AP and James was saved by BB... well Ryan can't complain that his nominations were nul and void because he too was saved by BB... tv show is quite enough for me and You Tube has everything the feeds have... but, don't give up on the feeds yet because then you and I won't be able to enjoy YouTube... The whole endurance is on YouTube right now..

You can say that again that BB saved James!!!LOL I think the way they setup the evicted HG's return was something they planned AFTER realizing it was going to be James walking out of the door. They felt he brought the added drama, therefore they found a way to keep him around. True enough, it wasn't a sure guarantee that James would be chosen, but based on the way the twist was set-up...this was the way BB could remain in control. Based on the personalities of most of these HGs, I think deep down they knew James had a stronger chance of returning to the game once allowing the HGs to decide. Most seemed too scary to take a chance on someone different. Anyway, there was really no point in having an AP if they were going to still keep James in the running. Remember he WASN'T apart of the voting.

This is the first time I don't have the feeds. Not inspired to spend the time twice in one year. I don't miss them at all.

this is the first time I am not reading every single word here about BB. I dont have feeds and have only watched ST twice. I love Nat and Adam. Matt isnt that bad and I actually like James (minus picklejuice) I even like Ryan. I cant stand Josh. He is the only one that I cant stand.

Josh has had some good edits despite his outbursts. Why would people hate Josh if they only watch the show?

This is the first season I do not have the live feeds. And I am so happy I did not pay for them. In fact I am considering quitting this season all together. I don't even care if I miss a TV show. So I might just quit watching.

I have live feeds because I have superpass but have never watched them. I try to catch the show but miss quite a few of them. I just cant get into the show. From what I read here Matt is not such a great guy but from what I have seen on TV I like him. Also liked James but that is probably because of seeing him take care of the girl who had the attack. From what I gather this group is just down and dirty with no entertainment value and it looks like CBS pretty much picked the worst houseguests possible. Can it be possible that Mike Boogie looks tame compared to this bunch? I liked Parker from what I saw of the TV show and I think he was my favorite. I hope they bring back the real big brother for this summer but I suspect this will be the bell tolling for that show.
