Yep ML, that was what I was trying to indicate. I believe isolation makes a huge differrence in how we feel we can (or can't) participate

Um... you're forgetting the more crucial fact that Survivor is entirely TAPED. The show is long in the can by the time viewers even know the names of the contestants. It's not a fair comparison.

Excellent point Bastable. I have to wonder what folks would do (if anything) if Survivor was taped ahead of time in an area so populated as where the BB house is?

Other than that first banner have there been any attempts at banners? I can't see how this rule is actually being enforced. I still say that the banner plane people have been paid off by AS, CBS, and crew

I know that AS did not pay off Banner Ads . . . the company that flew most of the banners last year . . . it's just that fans are hesitant to pay for a banner that the HG's are afraid to look up at for fear of disqualification.

I would still think someone would have tried by now...especially a family member etc. Not that, till this point, there has been a huge need for it. If no banners fly I will be sure something fishy went on. There is NO way to enforce this rule. What is AS gonna do toss the entire house out? Yaright lololol good one

I agree that banners upset the producers game. They are bad for the game the producers want. It is for this reason that I want to see banners.

The producers are screwing us with their continued censoring of the live feeds. The only payback we have available is for us to use banners (or other techniques) to screw the producers.

If the producers cared more about the internet audiance, I would care more about preserving the producers' game.

Wasn't the whole idea of Big Brother founded on the people outside messing with the people inside. In BB1 WE the viewing audiance were the ones to remove a guest. That worked ok until Chicken George's wife went Corporate. SO ok now the public doesn't get the vote. We also got live FREEfeeds.

Now we pay for the feeds... or some of you do...sorry I don't. We as the public don't have a say as who stays or goes. AND we have to pay to decided what maze the rats run in for America's Question.

OR ARRON dear arn't you just getting a lil money hungry... considering that if the internet watchers were not watching that your viewing ratings would go way down because the majority of those watching the feeds and those of us lurking thru the posters here are the ones watching the show on TV. Hence DUDE the advertisers are suppose to be paying to get our attention not the viewing audiance paying and not getting a say in what the hll is going on!!!

At least let us have some interaction with the show it is what keeps me here most of the time.

Ok now I am getting off my soap box and puttin on my

Banners totally go against the concept of the game. The game is to see what happens when you put X number of strangers together in a house and let them fight it out for half a million dollars.

Didn't see anywhere that it says, people watching the live feeds or the TV shows have the right to interfer with that.

Banners are also dangerous to the HG's, look at what a banner did to Nicole last year. Why would anyone fly a banner aimed totally to mess with a Hg's head and REAL life. It was just cruel and unusual punishment. (I didn't like Nicole one bit btw).

I for one want to see the game played by the HG's not the audience. So anyone flying a banner intrudes on MY enjoyment of the show. What gives that person the right? I paid for my feeds same as them, I watch the TV shows same as them. Someone flies a banner and I have to watch FOH feeds for god knows how long, or they destroy a secret that I wanted kept in the house, amazes me that people think that they are so important that they would ruin my enjoyment of this game.

If people want to get back at the producers, then please STOP WATCHING or call/fax/picket CBS, don't manipulate the game and the HG's for your own beefs.

I don't agree with much that the producers do, there are alot of things they could do better. But I do believe they were 100% right to order the HG's to ignore banners.

"If people want to get back at the producers, then please STOP WATCHING or call/fax/picket CBS, don't manipulate the game and the HG's for your own beefs."

With all due respect...

If the producers continue to screw us with the live feeds WE WILL SCREW THEM by getting information to the HGs (and it will not be with a banner plane). Count on it.

If you do not like the way we are going to screw with the show, STOP WATCHING or call/fax/picket CBS to stop robbing us of the live feeds experience.

were they told they can't use verbal message ('megaphone') planes?! can't a loudspeaker just blare a message out?! that would be cool. they would get the message even if they didn't look up!!
"chiara, over. roger."
"eric, how's your job on the outside going?"
"lisa has an STD.".
"joshzilla lies to you all!"

What makes your view more important than mine? I paid for my feeds, same as you. I enjoy the game as it is supposed to be with no outside contact.

"If the producers continue to screw us with the live feeds WE WILL SCREW THEM by getting information to the HGs (and it will not be with a banner plane). Count on it."

Again, what do the HG's have to do with the how the producers present them? If you get info to the HG's they should not have under the rules of the game. Then you have affected the game in a way that should never have happened and possibly exists for a HG to loses half a million dollars because of it.

I know that if I were a HG and other HG's received word of my strategy from outside sources, after the game was over I would do anything in my power to find those sources and sue them for half a million dollars.

Tabbyking...

It is best not to talk about possible alternatives to a banner. We need to surprise the producers.

hmmmmm when BB first came on 3 years ago the premis was put 12 People in a house cut them off from reality and let them know big brother was watching. uhhhhhhh so arn't we big brother???? Sure seems like the American version of this game has forgotten that BIG BROTHER is watching.... maybe they should just change the name of the show to HUMAN RATS cuz with out Big brother watching it ain't BIG BROTHER
