I was just reading the live feeds and realized that the cameras will go dark tonight!! Won't that be weird??? (or is it just me?) I don't know why, but it just gave me a creepy feeling when I thought about it.

Maybe they'll let us watch them work on the house after they leave? Oh Bob, please don't go!!!!


Really, I'm ok.

Hmmm, really, truly ok? (grin)
I've spent countless (seems like infinite) hours glued to the live feeds, the chats, the boards, but have been weaning myself from the addiction, to be prepared for my life outside the BB house after being a fly on their wall for so long. It really felt like we lived there, moving thru the house via changing video feeds, racing outside looking for banners if we heard a plane, able to stay with our fave HGs or avoid those who annoyed us. I couldn't bear watching last night, first step to recovery (until the BB2 fix comes along). It's not hard, I'm happy for the 3 winners and I do like them all in various ways, but guess their attitude about 'older' folks has put things more into perspective. I lived my party days yrs ago and finally grew up, though not old, as the Gen X college kiddies will see someday when they hit 35 or so and look back thru time, which passes much too quickly. The 3 guys still peg Karen as Mom and George as Dad, showing their immaturity and intimidation about people, heaven forbid, their parents' ages. Of course, some of the older HGs' have left no doubt you can act like a jerk at any age! So, it's easy to call it a wrap since now it's turned into Animal House or MTV's Real World or something the ignorance of youth rules. Very understandably, when I was 22 I lived by the old adage, don't trust anyone over 30. By 35, it was don't trust anyone under 30, go figure. We will get through this! Creepy as it will be when the cameras go dark and we're evicted, something else will come along and here we will be again. ;)

I'm still hoping they'll have the wrap-up party in the house and keep the cameras rolling.

It's just a dream...:)

Hey, we could still watch eventhough no one is in the house. It would be pretty much like it is now.

Not sure this is the right place for this posting, but has anyone heard if BB2 will use the same house?

I'm hoping they will. Seems a waste to dismantle this house when all the technical stuff is in place, and looks like BB1 did a pretty good job technically (enough cameras/mics in the house). Anyone heard anything? Thanks.

I wondered about that, too, Delia. I would think that they would just to save some money. However, they might want to try a hidden location to prevent any airplane banners and potential Angels from reaching the houseguests. That would mean that there couldn't be a studio audience during the live shows and no fans waiting outside. On the other hand, if the next cast is as boring as this one, then the "sky" will be one of the most interesting aspects of the show.

I'm guessing that they'll auction the household goods like plates and broken Ikea furniture on ebay. MTV did that after the Hawaii Real World and their second-hand stuff fetched a lot of money.

As for the masks? They'll probably make it to ebay too, but I'm thinking that the control room folks would just love to have a Corona party and smash the masks. Kinda like therapy.

Those are beautiful masks! I am thinking they would take them off the wall and give them to the HG's tonight or else send them later. (??)

I checked the UK feeds right after it was over, and the cameras were still up and running on a dark and quiet house. I think they went out the next day.

It'd be funny to see the last two coming back to pick up their stuff --

I'd like to see the people behind the always-present BB voices come into the house and say hello to the Internet audience.

Or at least be able to see them duing the live show. I'd love to see what The Interrogator looks like, and Sexy Bedtime Voice, and The New Guy, and Frankly speaking.

*sigh*

I've been forcing myself to watch the feeds less and less everyday knowing that today would come.

Does anyone know how much longer this site will be on-line? Will we be able to post over the weekend??

It will not go down. There are other shows covered here beside BB.

The cameras went off. We heard about 15 more seconds of the crowd after the show went off the air. Chanting "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie"

Then the house, still and quiet. Now it's just the blue logo. >>sniff<<

<sniff, sniff> I hate that blue logo... I want my HGs back!

I was really hoping to see some of the behind the scenes people we've all come to recognize, too. I hope they give us one more dose with a follow-up show. PLEASE!!!
