Several times I have heard different houseguests refer to things that have happened and then say that it is okay, the internet was turned off. Last time this happened, it went to FOTH.

Has anyone else caught them saying this?

Do they think the internet is turned off? Has it been? Are some of the feeds reruns or stuff not shown previously from a differnt camera?

Sorry if this has been discussed. I only tune in part of the time while I am at work.

Supposedly, they turn it off for Tonya to talk about her ex. They turn it off when they talk about someone who didn't sign a release. But all of the girls (Tonya, Chiara, Lisa) will be suprised to see what they do show.

I don't understand this "signing a release" business. Does this mean that you have to watch everything you say? What if they bring up someone they knew from high school? Does it switch to FOTH because that person didn't sign a release?

They have apparently told them on a few occasions that the Internet is "off". During that period of time, they are obviously giving them information they don't want us to hear.

That is what I am thinking Cameltoes. I want to hear EVERYTHING that is going on. I guess this is one way to get us to watch the show and watch the live feeds both to increase those tv ratings.

I think those of you paying for live feeds should continue doing so...then DEMAND a refund for them not actually giving live feeds (if that's what they are doing).

Reasons why CBS goes to FOH: (1) singing a copywright song (2) talking about someone who hasn't signed a release to use their name (3) talking about anything related to things BB told them not to talk about (behind the scenes rules, rehersals, production info, etc.) and (4) anything else CBS wants to hide from the net viewers . . . That's what I'm picking up . . . feel free to add more.

Discussing their contracts in too great a detail.

Putting a knife to someone's throat (well - not yet this year anyways).

LOL Ryn . . . should we just say that CBS goes to FOH about 50% of the time for any reason?

Hmm... but what about when it seemed to down for a couple of hours(?) this morning. Is that not thefan is referring to? I did read that post when Chiara(?) mentioned the internet was off this morning and then it went to FOH.

Well it was one of the skinny girls (blue bathing suit) talking and she did say morning so it was a planned outage.

I wouldn't be surprised Bogey. I wasn't up until late today so I didn't know it was out this morning. Wonder what that was about.

In an article Kent wrote about his experience on BB2, he commented that at times they had reharsals for various things . . . esp with Julie Chen . . . so that they wouldn't skrew up the live show . . . things like making sure they understood what to do during a challange

I also heard today one of the guys talking about practicing for the show but not talking about it at all during the day.

I listen to the stream a lot and just bring the video up when something catches me, but I know I miss a lot.

There is definately more going on that we are seeing and it is not because of some waiver.

Do you think my boss would notice if I put a big flat screen tv in my cube???

It is no wonder the actual show has always been so lame (aside from humorous Will DR comments). I'm sure anything the HG's did spontaneously would be 1000x better than anything they could plan. What dweebs.

I have a theroy on why they think they turned off "the internet" for them.

I'm guessing early on someone was talking about a forbidden subject and the got a lecture from BB about how they can't talk about that topic. After BB got done lecturing, they said something like "okay, we're going to turn the internet back on now so watch what you are saying". In the hamsters minds, it must have seemed like BB "turned off the internet" for them.

I have no facts to back this up, its just my WAG (wild a** guess)

Hey, you know what it was? Josh was bashing AOL, which has a tie-in with BB this season. I saw this on another board during the blackout.

Lsst night several of the guys were complaining about the Citrona (sp?) they were given to drink. Josh said he would not let it touch his lips it was so bad. Roddy said that they (BB) could not have found a worse sponser. Then came the FOTH ... just a bit too late. ROFL

I think the internet being "turned off" is when the houseguests start talking about things that internet stalkers might love to hear. All you need is a name, approx age and location and you'll be shocked at what you can find.

Example - I heard Tonya talking about how she has her cosmetology license, and her business... right when she started getting into details about her business they switched to the FOTH. It's too easy now-a-days to track people down on the net - most of these people were regular people who signed up for BB, and they probably haven't had a chance to have their phone numbers changed to unlisted #'s. I know that BB can't prevent everything from being leaked out to the net, but I'm sure they try to do the best they can.
