I expect Glenn had to get another file cabinet by now to house all of his copious notes. Glenn is probably doing what Glenn does best, sitting back with his glasses on and keeping tabs on you two trouble makers.

I found TVCH looking for BB updates. Excellent place to be. Can't wait for July 9th.

Wow! This is a great thread. I've been here since BB1. Sometimes more and sometimes less. More less, now. But, I do try to come through to catch up every month. This board has meant so much to so many of us and the unbelievable caring of it's membership will keep it going for years to come, I hope, I hope, I hope!

I was looking through some photo's the other day and found one of the very first TVCH Butt Shots! You know who are...hahaha Gosh, we'd just gotten Oliver, the pup, and couldn't keep him out of the pool. I, also, believe this was the first TVCH meet? Now, so many have made such terrific lasting friendships, it's truly amazing!

Nine years and counting...:-)

BigBrotherFanClub and BB1 reading all the live feed threads, then didn't stay around for the game or chats because I was on webTv, and it wasn't compatible. Came back for BB2 and never left. I haven't been on a lot lately due to outside interference! You know RL, but my family also knows that TVCH is part of my life, and they've met several of the members from here too.

I haven't been active on the board for the past year. Since we moved to Hong Kong it's been hard to keep up with Big Brother and the other reality shows, plus I've had a lot of personal turmoil this last year.

Reading this thread and rekindling all the memories of the many years that this board has been a part of my life, has filled me with warm fuzzies. I'm going to be moving to London in a few months and I'm looking forward to better tv and a chance to reconnect with all of you and the TVCH board.

I was new to computers when BB1 aired. I loved the show from day one and I did one of my first web searches trying to find out more info on the show. That is when I found the BigBrother FanClub. I remember that it was this big ugly blue board. I was fascinated by the intelligent, fun conversation that the board members were having(I had been to some other chatrooms and they were a sewer filled with idiots and ugliness). I struggled to figure out how to become a member of the board so I could post. When I finally figured that out, I then had trouble figuring out how to post. I was so clueless back then. I just finally gave up. I came a few weeks later when it was the new easier to navigate board and joined in and stayed for years and years of fun after.

It was so hard to make outsiders in the "real world" understand how important the board and these people on the board that you had never met were to you. Being connected to the board during BB1 and living vicariously through the Angels antics, sitting on the edge of your seat half the night waiting for the missing Angel to check in and know that she was safe. Donating money to send a banner over the house and waiting together and hoping that the hamsters would see it. It was just day after day filled with so much excitement and fun.

Then came the Game. It was a totally fascinating experiment, even when things started going wrong it was our own little trainwreck that we couldn't turn away from. I adored Rogerramjet aka Lancecrossfire. His long, loooong talks were interesting and fascinating to me. He was so into the Game that he dragged me back to it day after day. I even ventured out and learned basic html just so I could make a fan page for him. I think that was the biggest hoot that we were all so into our own little reality game that we were making fan pages for our favorites like they were TV stars.

Then the powers that be had an enormous brain fart, completely ignoring the fact that history always repeats itself and okayed the undertaking of The Game II. I was thrilled to be picked to be a contestant. It was an even bigger trainwreck than the original Game, but I'll always be thankful that I got to be a part of it. My real life at that time was very difficult and some very special people on this board reached out to me through that game and strengthened me. It's so funny because to this day when I think about the game I still feel so bad that I voted Juju out of the game.

I vividly remember when Tess first posted on the board. She was a victim of an ugly paranoia that had overtaken some of us who were involved in the game. I cracked up when someone mentioned Glen and his notes. It was sitting in chat with Glen and hearing his notes and isp checks that convinced me that Tess wasn't the boogeyman. I'm sorry we put you through all of that Tess!

Anyway, I could go on and on and on with my memories of the board, I haven't even touched on the Chicago board meet and all the fun I had meeting some special people on this board. I'll just give a shoutout to CALYPSO SUE and the endless party on the red trolley bus from hell!

I joined because of the late much-lamented Starting Over series. The discussion board at the official starting over site was promising at first, but developed real "issues", and I somehow found my way here, and stayed ever since. There was a real "Starting Over" family here at the time.

As for Big Brother, I was a big fan the first season (and a member of joker's crowd) and loved Curtis and watching free live feeds on into the night, and oh the fun of the plane banners coming over, but interest in the show has long since waned. Last time I watched was when Kayser was on.

Big fan of other reality shows like Dancing with the Stars, Project Runway, et al.

Hey, Az, good to finally see you again. Thanks for regretting voting me out of Game II. Hahahaha, it was a mixed blessing, and if you will recall, I was having a hell of a time keeping my computer going. Turns out I had a bad modem, and I kept it going until the game was over to see what happened, and then all hell really did break loose.

I've been here since 01.... Big Brother brought me here. I posted under a different name at first, but I've been melfie since 2002. I don't hang around as much as I used to - real life gets in the way of online fun! But this is still one of my favorite stops on the web. Juju and Tess got me hooked on Trivia in games, and that is still the first place I visit when I stop by.

I'm back! I can't believe it has been so long since I visited here. I love this place and all the wonderful people here. What ever happened to Bunny? Is she still writing the Bunny Tales? Good to be back and to see so many friends still here.

I've been here since the middle of the first season of BB. I lurked a lot then, and I'm lurking again, but I'm here. I've met some great people who will always be friends in my mind, although I wouldn't know them in the real world if I met them!

For me, this has been a haven - a place I could come to when life was difficult. First were the depression years, then the 'parental illness and death' years, the graduate school is kicking my butt years, and the heart-attack year, but through it all, I knew I could come here and see some old friends, laugh at their insights, and get some words of encouragement if I chose.

Thanks for the home place!

I didn't start watching BB until Season 2. Woodpecker got me to join TVCH, even though I tended to lurk in a lot of threads.

Who was the member who was good friends with Woodpecker on the board? They kidded around together all the time. She kinda got me to stay on by sending me to the Farm. I made friends there. She was Canadian if that helps.

My ex husband actually found this site for me when I was obsessed with BB1. I never considered joining but enjoyed the updates. Sometime later I did join and found the other areas of the board as well. When my ex and I separated, I spent a lot of time on the board. It was company when I was lost and lonely.

I have since recovered. The ex and I even had dinner a few weeks back. Despite everything he is one person I could rely on in a pinch.

Meanwhile, I love BB just as much as ever and enjoy posting and reading the board.
