I think there needs to be a reminder every so often to the newer posters about keeping editorial slants to a bare minimum, and let the readers determine their own take on it.

I have been part of, and can see a pattern as new posters join and help on the live feeds. It is almost an initiation :)

Lately the eds have been heavy (and too often) on the disfavor side. I think it is more or less agreed that poster's destain for any HG's should NOT be obvious with more than the occasional ed. Right?

It's good to let us know if something is a joke, or done/said jokingly, etc. It is harder NOT to use words in an editorial that you wouldn't include in what was happening. Like "smiling thru her teeth she said..." "

Slants influence a persons subsquence (future) first hand 'perspective'.

I found, and find there can be a reward to the practicing of unbias posting on the live feeds

I hope you read this as intended As a former poster here I know how much work is involved and appreciates everyone who posts here. I also enjoy the ensuing discussions which are not only based on what is seen on TV, the live feeds BUT s read here when we've missed the former 2. :)

Let's enjoy the 'run' (or hop ;)
to the finsh for the BB Case of the BIG $$$$$ ;)

i don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but many of the posters to the live feeds the past several days have been adding comments such as "boring...", or "zzzzz", or "gee, i miss brit". if you don't find the interaction between the hg's to be interesting, then stop watching. but for those of us that are still interested, and who continue to watch the feeds and post to the boards, it's a real slap in the face every time you point out how "boring" the show is. anyone who thinks that brit was interesting 24/7 must still be in high school. i for one was completely burnt out on her whispered talks with josh and jaime, and if she had cried one more time, i think my computer would have crashed itself. i did not dislike brit, and i wish her all good things in her future life and career, but i am glad she's gone from the bb house as maybe now the hg's will move on to more mature and interesting conversations. yesterday was an interesting day in the house, as we saw intimate conversations between george and cassandra, cassandra and curtis, curtis and jaime, and jaime and josh. i agree, it's not 24/7 entertainment, but i don't think it was intended to be that in the first place. the bb game is intended to push people to their emotional limits, make them reach beyond their own reality and beliefs and see what interaction occurs as a result of 10 different people being in confined quarters without an exit. if you don't find that entertaining, then leave and seek entertainment elsewhere. i personally think we've not yet seen the best this show has to offer, and i think the same goes for the people still remaining in the house. so, please, stop including your negative comments in the live feed transcripts!!

I get WEB TV and have no access to the live feeds, so I depend on all of you who are watching and typing away so well. I don't mind all the side comments and ed. it helps me get some idea of what you all are seeing. I guess I may be in the minority, but thank-you all very much.

Thumbs up to all you posters who are our eyes and ears for the live feeds we can't access on our own. I share your frustration when it seems the cameras or mikes are down and sometimes wonder if BB is controlling the 24/7 live feeds as well. Either way--you posters are a good lot and I appreciate your time and effort!
Thanks

Forgive me if this is not the right place to post this, but I am having trouble with my Real Player crashing on broadband and wonder if anyone can offer some suggestions as to what might be causing it. It never happens on the lower speeds and yes, I am on a cable modem with broadband service.

TIA

While I too thank all the efforts of the live feed posters.. I would like to sincerely ask that you try to be unbiased when posting. I know I have my faves and least faves, and I post only when I se a gap, but when I do post I try my level best to REPORT what is happening on the live feed rather than gossip about it.

Also... someone who was involved in an accident (declared by law to be an accident) is NOT a killer. I DO NOT like George, but this is an unfair characterization and influences others..... as live feed posters we carry the burden of reporting impartially..

just my 2 cents...

I have done some live feed..not well but I've tried my best to give some help.

It's very hard to keep up...listening and watching what is going on and typing..spelling correcting and editing everything as you go.
Sometimes you just want to scream when something goes on! It's very hard not to give a little comment. Your so "into" what's going on at that time...like you are there.

So I say give all these folks a huge **Pat on the back**** for what they are doing and quit gripping about "how" they do it!

If you can do it so well do it 24/7. It takes all kinds of folks to help out. If you can't take it the way they give it and be glad to get it, and bypass the gossip or editorial comments...then don't read it at all!

Sorry to sound snappy...but dang I've done some long post to try to capture every word...keeping as much to myself as possible..heck didn't have time to even comment so much was being said...but I do find these ed comments by so many hysterically funny and they make reading this more fun.
I guess I just fired myself! I was just doing this for FREE anyhow!!

I say keep the ed comments in! Keep the live feed posters as happy as possible so we get the news we want...and
Get over it!

Okay stepping off soapbox now.

I have discussed/commented on editorials many times. I have NOT been posting live feeds as much lately, but most of you old timers know I have posted my share.

The comments have picked up a bit but I hate to say I think it comes with the lower number of HG's and the lack of activity.

If someone refers to george as a "killer" while posting I consider that crossing the line. Nicknames that not everyone knows of understands causes confusion.

Also, it can lead someone else to comment on it in the live feed postings and then myself or another monitor gets the fun (not) task of trying to clean up the board.

If you are NEW and thinking about posting, try reading the thread that says "READ THIS" - I had a more detailed analysis but I deleted it by accident and the admin (neil) could not bring it back from cyber death. Just keep your personal opinions in as much check as possible.

What I said before in essense was its fine with me if you type something like "(ed. BORING!!) - I even think comments like "I need to go now hope someone else can take over" are ok (and i used to have a problem with that when we had 3 people typing at the same time, but now its almost needed).

The comments that I would have problems with are direct negative comments on HG's (eg "what an idiot that _____ is!!!") or (eg. "keep your yap shut eddie!!!!")

I HOPE that clarifies my personal opinion. please don't tell me how I have not followed my own rule, or proceed to look for instances to show me things I have missed. We all do the best we can and the folks that take the time to watch the feeds and post are doing it for YOU, not themselves. And I have learned that if you want to do it, forget about doign anything else because it will take all your attention.

thanks again to all whom post!!!!!

and for Tommorow - PLEASE keep your editorials brief. Wednesday nights are always hectic here and we have lots of west coasters refreshign the board to see an honest, accurate account of what the HG's do during the show (check the daily update for the TV summaries).

Since I've been accused of reporting live-feeds with an "anti Jamie" slant at times, let me just jump in and say that this was certainly unintentional. If you review my "body of work" (haha) you may find that my slant is actually "anti publicity-hound" and it is mere coincidence that Jamie starts or engages in almost every rumination regarding "how many fabulous offers" there will be for all the house guests once they leave.

Nevertheless, I certainly do not mean to alienate any fans...so I humbly apologize and will try my best to keep this in check in the future!

cackyh - thanks (not that my previous post was directed at anyone in particular).

It gets REALLY hard not to editorialize when posting.

And when you see somethign you want to comment on you either have to open a second window to go to the comment area or abandon your live feed reporting. its frustrating and those of us that post live feed stuff have sympathy for ya!!!!

No doubt Ryn... I totally agree about it being hard NOT to editorialize.. Like I said in my post above... it's an EFFORT not to editorialize and be objective! But alas... I tried not to "complain" and be nice about it and decided to post instead. I could have just ignored it, but I wagered on the fact that sometimes you don't know you're doing it until you read it.

The first 2 live feeds I posted I editted in Word before copying and pasting... I was editorializing ALOT!!! lol

Again... I thank all the live posters.... you guys do a great job (and yes.. I laughed at most of the editorials... but I worried about the killer one being so far over the top that Niel could catch heat for it... )

I must state again that those of us without access to the live cams appreciate the comments that are appearing in the live feed translations. I can not see or hear what is going on, a comment about one of the HG making a face etc, really helps me. What is annoying is others putting in their comments about NOT editorialising. If it is boring and all that say so....that is just my 6 cents worth of opinion, which I guess goes against the powers that be. THANK YOU ALL FOR FEEDING INTO MY NEWEST ADDICTION.

alright. i have to intervene here. i never get involved in bulletin board discussions, although i do read them. but since this one involves me directly, i will respond and at least try to clarify something.

i have no interest whatsoever in the ongoing editorialising vs. objective reporting issue. all i want to do is post what i see on the live feeds and try to entertain people who might read what i have written, especially during those times when the show is, shall we say, less than scintillating. so i'm not going to get drawn into this discussion--i'll let you all argue about it. i'll just post the live feeds and let others quibble if they must.

but i do want to clarify an important point; a *misquoted* point upon which many of the criticisms about too much editorialising are predicated. here it is:

nowhere in the live feeds has anyone ever called george a killer.

check for yourself by doing a word search on "killer". there's 3 pages of results in the discussion sections, but only one in the live feeds on aug 17, where curtis says to cassandra

"you're a NY'er. good drinkin buddy. killer bball player in pool."

needless to say, this last does not involve george's skill with firearms, or lack thereof.

what i said was this:

(George) says "Cassandra, I would never, ever, commit a crime." He says this, of course, blissfully unaware of the irony in those words (cf. for those of you who don't know, our resident craft-artisan-cum-castrati killed a man).

sardonic? yes. kinda mean? absolutely. possible misuse of the parenthetical notation "cf" (to confer)? possibly. but factually false? no way. the guy *did* kill a man in 1987 in what was called by the courts a hunting accident. technically, one who kills *is* a killer, but i agree that actually calling the poor fool a killer is crossing the line. nevertheless, his buddy is still dead, and george is responsible for said noticeable lack of life in his friend, though it is important to note that he was exonerated by the legal system. he may not be guilty of anything but being a fruitloop...

but he still killed a man.

and that is what i said in the post.

OK, my two cents here, yes I am too getting tired of editorizing to the point of we all know you hate George. So stop with the comments please. I thought live feeds ment just that, discussion was another thing. But I am to the point of not wanting to read the live feeds any longer. Knowing I am going to hear some prejudiced statement if Jammie does something or George shows he is not the most intellegent person. I enjoyed reading the feeds, and appreciate all that you people have done. But it seems as the days goes on you put more and more comments. You know who you are, and if you don't, go back and read some of your posts. You may think it's cute and or funny, but being prejudice starts from within.

Snave... you keep me laughing. Please don't stop. I read the live feeds because my real player crashes my computer so I depend on them. I will be reading and come up on yours and I literally say out loud "yeah, it's Snave"

Just wanted to support you!

Ryn: I look forward to yours too. It makes me laugh because I can see it. You hold back but sometimes it breaks through and you give an ed. I love it... makes me smile because I know how badly you try not to!

Keep up the good work! :)

(if you don't like the eds just skim through it- my ed)

My livefeeds don't seem to be updating themselves. Any idea? Last night when I read them and posted, it updated when my post went up. Since then nothing else has appeared. I don't want to post just so I can see the updated list.

Cackyh ..... thanks so much for your live posts this morning. This show has started to get boring but you made your posts very funny. I laughed so hard reading them. Keep up the great work.
