You know, it is kind of ironic . . . many of us complain how boring these houseguests are, yet we're going to revolt and picket because they won't give us more of the boring HG's? lol


Steviegirl, while ITA that this bunch has been extremely boring, traditionally the endurance part of the 3 part final HoH is one of the most interesting things to watch on the feeds. While I certainly don't care nearly as much about anything this season as in years past, I've hung in and watched it, and I feel they are not letting us have one of the highlights of feed watching for BB.

So personally that is why I'm miffed. Not surprised in the least, but def miffed!

I'm "one of those" families and I am purposely not going to tune into the next show on my tv just because of this. You know what I mean.

Wilson, have they ever shown a full comp after the fact? And not even sure I'd want to watch for hours knowing what happened and in what order. Now if they said they were doing that, I might just record the show, watch the feeds of it THEN watch the show.

That said, I don't think they will bother doing what you said. That would be considerate of the fans and making the best of a bad situation. Not their usually MO sadly.

Well this is a special situation....my suggestion was just do all three comps in 24 hours and not let them sleep, but I guess the setups would take too long. The Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday show schedule has been a major pain in the butt all season (House Calls and all that).

And at least it would be a compromise if they showed the comp tomorrow night after the show- we may know who won, but we don't know the circumstances- was there a deal, who dropped first, how bad did it get, etc.

How much longer can this comp last .... it is cold outside.

come on BB dump buckets of cold water on everyone ... soak em up so they will quit already!

I have an early call time 2morrow and want to go to bed ... but I want to know who won and who got evicted.

BBAD- this is what I call false advertising. JC says to watch live??? ahem- this is far from live. Like a said- false advertising.
I didn't subscribe to Showtime to watch pre-recorded crap.

On BBAD they just had a commercial for The Tudors and they played, again, the song I'm looking for. Its making me crazy to find out what this song is!

I hate being a pessimist, but I don't foresee CBS showing us more than the edited down version of the comp, 5-6 minutes at most.

The live feed subscribers have always been able to see what was happening before the live shows in the past so I don't understand AG doing this. For ratings? Doesn't make sense.

The only thing it makes sense for is if BB is doing something shady that would compromise how the game is being played - which they are accused of all the time. If they wanted to dispel that theory, then blocking the viewing of the final HoH comp isn't helping them.

I remember last year during the water endurance part of the final HOH comp, Zack said that the person responsible for hosing him with the water didn't like him cause they made sure the cold water hit him hard on the head (when Dick's person moved the water about various parts of him - and I personally wondered if Dick's water was as cold as Zack's). Quite a few people who saw the comp also said the same thing about the water hitting Zack.

No Ashley, but thanks anyway. Someone already suggested that and I listened to it but that's not it. This is sung by a woman.

hmm maybe BB did this on purpose, I am assuming based on the conversation i just heard between Ryan & Adam they did not get a lot of sleep then had to be up & alert for this pre-recordned nonsense...means they have to be getting tired by now I imagine. maybe BB was hoping for a quick end to the endurance?
Ryan just asked Adam "why is Showtime on now" (or words to that effect)

this is awfully frustrating getting pre-recorded stuff

I bet they thought last year's final endurance comp went on for too long and had too many technical difficulties. A lot of it feels staged this season. More control!

I like how they played military music on the televised version last season, and heavily featured "the general" ED while actual winner Zach got shoved in the backbround.

ITA Cheeky...makes less than no sense to me. Which of course is why it must make perfect sense to AG lolol.

BBnine, I really think you are safe going to bed. I would be stunned if we got any feeds back before the show tomorrow. It just doesn't make sense for them to not show us the comp but then to go back live where we can see the outcome. As twisted the logic, I'm sure it so no one knows what happens and tunes in to the show tomorrow (like we wouldn't have anyway DUH to AG).

Oh and Cheeky....thanks ever so much for that nomination but I respectfully decline. Now if I felt writing would accomplish anything besides exercising my fingers, I'd seriously be glad to do it. But I believe in my heart that AG couldn't care less what the viewers want.

I do think the one complaint that might be worthwhile would be for anyone with Showtime to complain to them. Clearly that is an important deal to BB based on how big a fuss they have put into it, and how they have changed things around to make it better for BBAD since that started. Makes me think it's either good $$$ or something the network cares about for other reasons and or more. I don't have it or I'd call, but I think if there is a way to email Showtime or call, that might be the ONE complaint worth making, since they seem to care about keeping them happy. That's my complaint suggestion du jour!

Thanks for the idea Lurk. I just emailed showtime with a complaint. It won't do any good tonight but hopefully if they receive enough complaints they will get with BB and fix this. Not good to advertise live and pre-record.

Ollie it's sho.com

Ollie went to look then got distracted browsing the site (I never knew you could watch their stuff free online lol).

The best direct url I could find was in the contact section under "Ask a Question." Here it is;
http://tinyurl.com/45e6fk

I didn't see any complaint type section. Wonder if I could complain there even though I haven't had Showtime in years lolol. Shhhhhhhhh! I kinda feel wrong doing that actually so maybe I won't. Dang why did my Mom send me to Girl Scouts?!!
