I wish I could understand my addiction to this show. It is truly nice to know that there are so many others like me around here. I am lucky that I get to work with another BB addict and TVCH club member. We spend way too many hours discussing the show when we should be working. Oh well, we get the important stuff done. :)

I watched the first season religiously and never went online...every night it was my secret little routine. It just never occurred to me to go online and watch the time that was not on the show.
Last season, I started reading this site's live feeds. I briefly tried watching the live feeds during the free trial, and found that for some reason it really made me uncomfortable (what the heck is THAT about?). I love reading about it but did not really like watching the live feeds.

Reading about the stuff during the week made a huge difference to my interest in watching the show. I had no idea how much was edited out.

I have been really busy and have not really had time to "get ready", so I don't know how involved I will be able to be. I know I will read every day and try to see every show tho!

I just don't know what it is about BB--it's not just about reality TV cause I don't get like this over any other show!! All I know is that I'm totally addicted and I was on pins and needles waiting to hear if they were going to do it again this year!! I agree with Zachsmom, I'm pathetic! I have no life in the summer other than BB. God forbid anyone try to get me to go anywhere on Wed, Thurs, or Sat. night!!! I'll confess something else if you promise not to tell anyone--last night I had the BBLive3 website up so I could see the hourly countdown until tonight's show while I was surfing for new BB info! Now THAT'S pathetic!!! Even my husband laughed at me!! Oh well, I'm secure in my patheticism (is that a word?? lol)

My only gripe is that I'm on the East coast, and
I'm always annoyed that these guys sleep until
noon West coast time, which means nothing gets
going until about 3 PM my time. And I get really
fussy when I start losing sleep staying up for
their late-night parties. Oh well...maybe there
will be any early bird to watch this year!

Kit66- I put on the movie EdTV last night to get my mind off of "waiting for BB to start". I don't know why I picked that movie, as I said earlier, I don't really watch TV. Sometimes I put on a movie so I can fall asleep and that's what I tried to do last night. I don't know if you've seen that movie, but I laughed SO hard at the people who weren't interested in the show (Ed TV) that by the end of the movie were just ADDICTED to it!!! LOL.. saw too much of myself last night..

I laugh when I watch The Truman Show. The two addicted elder women, the guy in the bathtub, etc.

I don't think I've ever seen The Truman Show? Is it another movie about reality TV? Maybe after BB I'll watch it..

If it weren't for you guys I would probably go nuts! Nobody I work with watches BB. Maybe they just don't want to admit that they are as hooked as I am. I bet if I looked at thier favorite lists I could find some BB links in there. Hmm, maybe late one evening....

This may sound corny but the reason BB is special to me is.... I went into premautre labour with my second son and was on bed rest in the hospital. It kept me going the season final in season one ended a week before I gave birth to him. The hospital staff promised me if I went into labour that they would have a t.v there so we wouldn't miss any thing LOL.

You're not the only addicts. We've had about 300+ new members join or return in the last 2 weeks alone!

At least they remember where to the BB action is!

If I browsed the internet at your work, and delete the BB pages from the browser's history afterward, would you still know?

I'm on the eastcoast too Beserk and I agree, it is annoying waiting for them to wake up and then trying to stay up to see what is going on.

I love the show but I read the live feed posts because I am nosey and don't want to miss anything. It is fun have having the upper hand when it comes to knowing what is going on in the show when you are watching or discussing it with people who don't belong to TVCH

Remus, I do that myself, never know when the owner would see it.... but the rest of the crew that isn't in the IT department wouldn't think of that.. not to put them down, but they aren't that smart. Plus we put pretty tight security and restrictions on their internet access, had 1 too many virus's. Those of us in IT have free rein since so many websites we use for research and development..blocking us hinders our work ( yeah..coming here does't hinder MY work..heehee)..

I've been hooked on BB since Day 1 of the first season. People just don't understand when I say how great it is. They look at me like I'm weird and shake their heads. Some call it "garbage"... they'll never get it! I agree that BB would not be the same without this site. I also think I enjoy it so much because it's only on once a year instead of 2 or 3 times like Survivor. BB will always be the #1 reality TV show for me.
