How many hours straight -- at one sitting -- can you claim to have surfed the BBFC site in the past three months?

The award -- the choice between one year's psychological counseling or psychological counseling up to the day of the opening show of Big Brother II.

The only time i'm not on this site is:

6 hours during night so I can sleep (have toddlers so i have to sleep)

10 mins in the morning to make breakfast of the girls

same for lunch

1 hour in afternoon (must take 4yr old to school)

30-60 mins for making dinner

I do housework while read messages and waiting for live feed updates! Kids often sit on my lap and cuddle or talk while I check out messages voting polls etc.

I'm not infront of the monitor 24/7 but this site is on my monitor 24/7...I hate the aol BB site, it's soooo blah compaired to bbfc.

Oh please, the day of the Great Hampster Rebellion I sat down at my computer at around 8:30 AM EST (5:30 BB time) and didn't get away for more than a few minutes at a time until around 2:00 AM the next day! Boy, did my posterior feel it -- not to mention the carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand! Ouch.

But what about those Angels who are out there risking life and limb? They can't be on this site if they are performing these acts of daring. I think they are the #1 fans.

Hours of Central Standard Time

1 hour in morning before work. All while trying to eat a Bagel and Coffee and put makeup on.
5:00a.m.-6:00a.m.


All day at work (just leave screen up) (approximately 5 hours). I need to get back to work...only reason that I want it to end 12:00p.m.-5:00p.m.


1 Hour after breezing through making a slung together dinner:
6:00p.m.-7:00p.m.


2 Hours after show.
7:30p.m.-9:30p.m.


1 Hour after shower and jammies are on
10:30p.m.-11:30p.m.

10 hours a day and I am 8 lbs. lighter too! My house is a wreck and my social life has gone down the tubes (had to go to a baseball game in Arlington 2 weeks ago and about had a hissy fit, cause I was away from the show for approx. 8 hours). Yes, I have noted before that I have a problem, and am having anxiety attacks knowing that I can't turn on my computer after this week and see my live feeds. I need help!!!! Please.

The last 24 hours are pretty much average:

Turned computer on when my alarm went off at
6:42 AM - AST (Alaska Standard Time) One hour
earlier than PST

Leave the volume turned up on computer so I can hear everything while telling teenagers to get ready for school. Grab some lunch around 12:00 AST

Around 4:45 PM AST run downstairs and take out the chips, condiments, doctor some Bushes Baked Beans, leave frozen hamburger patties on counter so hubby can grill them when he gets home.

Finally turn off computer at 2:45 AM - AST

Wake up this AM at 6:42 AST turn on the puter - yep they are still asleep - well you know the drill

(My all-time low was missing my daughters birthday party - I said I was still recovering from my pneumonia - but somehow I was still on the computer)

And I thought I was bad because Saturday I started at 7 a.m. and finished around 10 pm with a break for the show, to eat, and a stop by the barber. I work during the week, or at least, I call it working though I average 2-3 hours during a work day.

8 hours + at work (I work for an internet startup, so I'm connected to the net all day long!) and at least 2 hours when I get home. I sleep usually about 7 hours a night, so that only leaves 7 hours a day when I'm not watching (but I make up for it by watching and chatting / posting on the boards at the same time). I have all my coworkers convinced that I need a 12-step program for my addiction to Big Brother.

Go Josh! Go Josh! Go Josh!

I am totally in denial about the huge quantity of time this show has eaten away at my life. Next week I'm going to have to get the shovel out and clean the entire house that has been so neglected.

My kids were secretly celebrating the shows end in sight. Ha - I think they are tired of pizza and any other fast food so I can tend to my BB addiction. (I hope I remember both of their names-- they hate it when I call them Jamie and Brit)

LOL! :) Boy should we talk! :)

I have a buncha tips for addicts to appear not so addicted to others and even to themselves - and sounds to me that a few of you could use them

I'm off to work but - here's the first one - print out a few really long threads you'd like to read -
and stick them in a "coffee table" type book. So that others around you will be impressed that you aren't ON THAT DAMN COMPUTER :) Also turn the computer off when you hear him/her or whoever driving up - grab a book and pretend to be reading it. Say "That was a good book" or something to that effect as you read the last few pages.

Turn JUST the monitor off - so that while they are taking a shower you can hop on and read for a few minutes ...

Well as I said I've got to get to work have lots more tips LOL :)

You ought to see how fast I can get off the computer and live feeds when I hear the door unlocking and b/friend is coming inside. I have it down to a fine art!

Okay ... this is a really funny thread
I thought I was half way normal when I met Ras and Jombie for the Angel mission because addiction loves company! But when it ended with Ras & I hiding in an Apt laundry room, both of us had our doubts how far we had gone ... fans with wings and a halo being hunted down with a helicopter search light...
The worst part, my but has gotten so big! Sitting on it every free moment to be on the boards does not make for a firm in shape buttocks!

Well I am on for about 16 hrs per day. stop around 3am I am at the point I sit here talking to & laughing at all the live feeds. My house is a mess the washing is stacked up, the bills are getting paid at the last min. ( the lights are the first to be paid of course), I turn it up when I have to go to the bathroom, I take time off from work, The weekends have been only setting here at the puter no outside contact. My friends that don't watch look at me strange when I talk about BB like it is family. Yes when its over I will miss it but my family will be happy. My husband is getting me packed for the funny farm. LOL ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT WGAT WILL I DO ???????????????????????

Zelda,

I was the exact opposite. I have actually seen a reduction in my thighs and rear region. I don't seem to have the time to eat properly (but I am taking vitamins), and I will eat as I am on the computer and forget that I am eating (I tell you I am losing it). I am thinking of writing a book on the benefits of the Computer Diet while Watching and Reading Live Feeds!

Rufus, get a touchpad. Or some other pointing device. Carpal tunnel is no joke.

We are in rough shape, people.

But do we love it or do we love it?

I have 3 bags of garbage sitting in my kitchen. About once a week I manage to scoop all the trash off the bathroom vanity into a bag and add it to the pile in the kitchen. I was very ill a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't go to the emergency room until after BB aired. I haven't worked in two weeks, but hear ever f-word out of Eddie's mouth. Half my new landscaping is dead from lack of watering. ALL my dishes are piled up and I have moved on to paper plates and cups. My grass needs cut. My car is full of stuff that I couldn't unload because I needed to get back to the computer. When I get a drink of water or go potty in the night I make sure the paint's still drying in studio city. My cats are neglected. I've told my mother my phone keeps going out to explain the constant busy and I've eaten peanut butter cups for dinner more nights than not.

I could go on, but I'm starting to scare myself. I think I better take the garbage out--in a few minutes.

I'm with Fruitbat...I'm up at 6:00amCST and I usually turn it off around 11:00pmCST. BUT....if I wake up in the middle of the night, I always sign on to BBFC and read the transcripts of the live feeds. I am serious about not knowing what to do come Friday night! I haven't had a date since June 28th. I meet friends for Happy Hour and I always leave by 6:45 so I won't miss the show. They tell me after I leave that they take nominations and I always get "voted out". LOL I have not missed one single show and I'm usually posting if something interesting is going on. If not, I'm lurking....

I've read every article, thread and update that I can get my hands on. I don't get into bashing, I really don't have a favorite.

I believe that Jamie will be banished tonight. Eddie will take third, Josh second and I think Curtis will win. That's not based on personal feelings, only on the recent polls, popularity and voting percentages. I really don't care who wins. I'm just excited to see how it all plays out.

And yes, I signed up on cbs.com to apply for BB2. I can TOTALLY see myself in that house! I would love to go through this experience first hand.

So, Number 1 fan, maybe not. But I'm definitely addicted. "Hi, I'm Dilligaf, and I'm addicted to Big Brother." (clap, clap, clap)

I also want to thank those fellow posters that have emailed me and special thanks to Cackyh for making me laugh. You win my vote for funniest posts! Everyone have fun tonight with the live show. I'm sorry to see Jamie leave. And I'm going to miss Pugita! What a cute little pooch!

My obsession began on day 1 of Big Brother! I quit my job because I could not concentrate at work without wondering if Josh and Jordan were going to bump uglies. :) So, I decided to wait until after the last BB show to try and get another job. I get up at 6AM...turn on the puter, get my cereal and sit down for the day. I have a garbage can and have a small refrigerator beside my computer desk so if i need to pee or get something to drink I don't have to leave. :) LOL. I eat dry cereal, drink cokes and eat crackers. Have dropped 15lbs in 3 mos. I go to bed at about 2 AM but leave the computer on until it kicks itself off later in the night. That way if anybody wakes up in the BB house I can get up and watch them. LOL :) Sad?

I've lost weight since BB started. I'm eating less, watching on the internet more. Isn't that sad? I needed to lose about 10 pounds and I did. Although Jennifer Lopez paved the way for big butt's like mine, I still didn't like it! LOL So when I'm on here? In the mornings before my son wakes up, in the afternoons on the days he has speech therapy, during his nap times. Then I pick my daughter up from school, make them snacks do homework. Now they're both sleeping so this is a treat for me!! I make dinner for my family. I eat with them, unless something major is happening. Tonight I'll watch live feeds and eat dinner right here, if I eat at all! This is the worst part. When everyone goes to sleep sometimes I'll stay on here all night. A few times I haven't slept at all. Today I'm running on 3 hours. What are we going to do when BB is over??? LOL Catch up on life and sleep I suppose. My eyes will certainly look better. As for Big Brother 2? I'd like to say no way, but I'll be here with the rest of you. Until then I like the new show Fear on MTV! What other reality TV programs are there? Are The Real World and Road Rules that good?
