I called the CBS studio center in Studio City (where the house is and the taping of the shows) and asked about being in the audience. But only employees, and friends and family of HG's are allowed at the live tapings.. even the "fans" outside that you hear screaming.. those are employees and friends and family too! LOL! IOW.. "Closed Set". Darn. I really wanted to see a taping or even just be outside on a banishment night, to see a HG. Ahh well..

"Employees, friends and family" is the usual Hollywood euphemism for PAID EXTRAS. There is no authentic studio audience. Only actors, and the people brought in for interviews.

That's why the live show feels as phony as a late night info-mercial: because it IS!

Hey Jombie... my husband and I were thinking of showing up when a banished one leaves, and we had heard that there were folks in a parking structure just a ways away from the house? Is that where you were? We're in So. CA too... and since you've been there, any tips on how one can see the HG leave? Thanks!

Jake...The BB house is on the CBS/Radford lot in Studio City...on Radford Avenue just North of Ventura Blvd. On Wednesday, the banished (Karen) houseguest leaves at around 6:30 pm Pacific Time, and the doors are open for just a few moments... but you can totally see the compound from the parking structure right in front of the house!!! It is so cool !! Then, they drive the banished to the Live Show at Sound Stage 19. (Which is around the corner on Colfax Avenue near Ventura.) We all need to show up there to lend our shouts and whistles of support!!! I usually get there at 6:15, to make sure I am all parked and ready... Come and have some fun !!! It's more fun to see the houseguests anyway, you can see the show later!!

Hey Jombie,

Thanks for the info! My husband is pretty familiar with the CBS lot, so we should be able to find it with a fair amount of ease.

I'm surprised CBSs security isn't guarding that parking structure. And yeah, kewl for us on the West Coast... we can see the stuff live either online or at CBS, then watch the show later on!

Thanks again for the info! Perhaps we'll be able to make it this time and will see you there!
