Does anyone know how much of the live feeds any of the houseguests actually saw? I would imagine they didn't have time to sit and watch a whole lot, but maybe they did. who knows?

I ask because I am not sure the hgs know as much about what was said about them and such as we might think. A lot of the trash talk for example was only on the feeds.

Does it matter now? Danielle didn't win. She played the best game. <mod>

Silver, in answer to your question, the only person that mentioned the Live Feeds was Tonya. So I know she saw them.

I meant the question as a general question, nothing more. My reasoning was that if the hgs only saw tapes of the shows, they might not be quite as angry at things as we think they should be. The DR and other things shown on the show pale by comparison from what was seen on the feeds. Perhaps that is why the hgs were quicker to "accept" appologies(if they did that is).

I agree Silver ;-). I think that is the reason Tonya let them know she saw the Live Feeds. Anyone that saw the Live Feeds would have a different opinion as if you only saw the TV show!

Silversamba: My guess would be they watched what little they could. However, most are now aware that TVCH is the best way to find out EXACTLY what has been seen on the LF's by reading through the LFP's. There was a pretty regular pattern that could have played into when they watched. Usually, late nights after kids were presumably in bed, was the best time to catch strategy talk, bashing, etc. So it wouldn't be difficult catch the 'juicier' stuff live and read the rest.

This is the most important statement you can make about Big Brother. I wonder often how many of the people I am responding to in these threads actually watched the Live Feeds. The television show was very well done, but there is no way to get a true feel of the mundane boredom that occurs in this house for 82 days without the Live Feeds.

Yes, it was easy to find LF stuff, but did they take the time to do that? I am guessing not as much as some of us seem to think. I know a lot of the evicted hgs said in chats that they were busy getting back into the swing of "real life" and such.

Something to keep in mind. Every one of the EHG's had friends and family (many from all appearances) who were watching feeds, reading boards, and taking notes in anticipation of the finale. Each of them was likely 'brought up to speed' by their respective family & friends. One could even go so far as to speculate some of them might have 'edited' their own version of highlights to make reviewing easier for them once they got out of the house.

Bottom line, IMHO, is that this is ALL part of the game. You play the game to stay in the house AND to garner the votes at the end. This is NOT a game of chance, luck has very little to do with the outcome of this game. In My Humble Opinion!

.

now onto other more interesting comments, I do agree with woodpecker about the vast differance between the 'net viewers and the TV only viewers. Any one else almost feel resentful when one of your "TV only viewer" friends starts making judgments on HG or deciding who should win? I had to bite my tongue so many times when I really wanted to explain my POV was more valid (rofl..I know how horribly artrogant that sounds) and they were ignorant to the REAL story. I accidently offended someone because she was saying on another completely unrelated to TV board that she wished America could vote the winner like BB1 and I agreed but said I thought only people with Live Feed access should have the vote since we were more aware than even the HG as to what had relaly happened. Its a really flawed idea I realize, but I made it on the spur of the moment and someone jumped all over me that I didn't know any more... etc. etc. etc. the TV people were just as aware, etc etc etc. lol!

Kim72 - Good points....

Last night while watching Survivor, it struck me just how different one of these reality shows is without live feeds. I saw plenty of personalities and personality conflicts, but without any live feeds, their true personalities and relationships were basically just a hint to us TV viewers. It showed that Jed guy as being the laziest son of gun ever....but then we only saw him sitting there for maybe 5 minutes of air time, while that episode was filmed over the course of three days.

Watching BB, if Amy opened a bottle of beer and a HG rolled his eyes, WE knew why. If Marcellas made a rude remark in the DR, WE knew that his remarks in the DR were very minor compared the bile he spewed in regular convos with other HGs. When Dani called Roddy the devil in the DR, WE knew she was also saying she wanted to spit on him and was calling him a MF-ing "roostersucker" in convos in the back yard AFTER he was evicted.

Yeah....the live feeds make a HUGE difference. Just try and figure out the real realtionships on Survivor at this point....two episodes equals about 6 days together...we have only been given clips of the 16 islanders that total about 90 minutes (sans commercials). Remember Survivor Outback? Nobody had a clue that Tina and Colby had an alliance.

Live feeds vs TV only....it's like two different games!
