The big question is:

Will the Front Door website return for BB3?????

I hope they change the music this year. I still have dreams about the front door and music every so often that leave me broke out in a cold sweat.

They went to the Front Door too much last year. It was incredibly frustrating! However, it was better than the chickens we had the year before. At least with the Front Door we could sometimes get a glimpse of "people" such as the gardeners and the film crew.

As I didn't have the live feeds I can only sympathize second hand (as in, frustrating reading on the LFP "FOTH" for what seemed like ages)..

One thing I really hope changes that will help would be limiting the re-takes on the challenges. I remember they would do two or three trying to get the hype and energy level of the HG up, and it looked sooo phony! I am in the process of watching last season's tapes, and it is so obviously fake it deters from the enjoyment of the show. I mean, if they are feuding or pouting, they won't be a-hooting and a-hollering for a challenge, I don't care WHAT the network thinks. Plus it meant FOTH for ages, not like we couldn't extrapolate the winner from their actions afterwards anyway. Silly and unnecessary.

JMHO.

I do think that if they charge money to watch the live feeds like last year then a great deal of pressure should be put on CBS to not allow the producers to throw us to the FD cam everytime a plane comes over head, or a challenge, or a vote, or heck just two people talking is happening.

Like it was already said within 10 minutes we all knew what the banner said, who got nomminated, or who was fighting with who. It didn't stop the banners from coming, in fact it might have increased peoples desires to come up with meaner ones so that we could get bigger reactions (personal note: I never sent a banner, I for one wish none would ever be flown).

Thank goodness for the live feeds or we would never have seen those pictures of Krista reaching around Justing to grab Shannon in the uh... well the um... chest area.

GO CHILLTOWN, and HERES HOPING TO ANOTHER CT GROUP THIS YEAR!

Your FD site is the one I was referring to Ryn. All others were pale imitations.

As they say in Highlander: There can be only one!

Ryn, your FD was the closest us Webtv'ers could ever get the experiencing the live feeds..thanks

Keiffer I agree about the cutways, very annoying. I am not sure what CBS's reason was to justify it, it certainly didn't conceal ANYTHING from the internet. If anything, it fed the speculations until we COULD deduce the answer. IMO better to just let us watch it.

http://www.geocities.com/ryn1970/Fdcam/

it will open in a new window, there are 4 items there:

The FD cam (2 versions), the Sleeping HG cam, and the monica trampoline video (simulated live feed).

I didn't update the page after August or so, sorry that the little experiment in X'ing out the HGs ends with Kent or maybe Mike.....

What a profound statement. Feh. It must have been someone very intelligent who said it.

I'm going to be upset if CBS uses the front door like they did last BB. Keiffer I agree with you.

Gee - thanks guys - lol (kidding - funny that it was fine for the last 6 months and I post the link here and they shut me down).

Dear GeoCities Member,

Your web site, http://www.geocities.com/ryn1970
seems to have been receiving a large amount of traffic.
Our records indicate that you're using more than the allotted amount
of data transfer we provide for a free web site, which is 3 gigabytes
per month (measured on an hourly basis). That means that during the
past few days we had to temporarily turn your site off to keep the
bandwidth within this limit.


So anyone trying it have patience, I can't believe I had 3 gig in 2 days but they seem to feel I have.

Actually doing the rough math that means I am limited to 4 megabytes an hour, 2 or three download would trigger it, so I am not as popular as I thought.

If its down, just try again in a bit. I was getting 100 hits a day last year at the peak, yesterday the page got 14 hits, looks like Geocities has tightened their belt.
