So we get FOTH for over an hour. Then they call lights out so the guys come in from the Hot tub and go in the house and we are back to FOTH. Why are they letting them sing. I think that singing should be something they could get a Penalty nomination for. I think that might make them a little more serious about breaking the rules if there was a real penalty involved. This is really TICKING me off

If this is such a problem, then why can't they just have a list of "approved" songs that the HG's can sing and hum? Something that is public domain or whatever. Tell them if you are going to sing, you have to sing this.. ?????

That would take somebody at AS Productions actually giving a sh*t about us. mad

Well I just sent an email to ASPProductions and CBS saying the following:

This is rediculous we have been treated to the view of the front of the house for more than an hour tonight while you allow the houseguests to sing. I thought the rule was they are not allowed to sing. If you are going to allow them to sing then you should let us see it and use some of the money we are paying to watch the 24/7 live feeds to pay for it. If you are going to make it a rule that they can't sing them why not make there be a penalty involved for doing it . You know like the infamous PENALTY NOMINATION that we have only heard legend about but we have never seen it put into action. Think of the rating that might accompany something like that.

We loyal fans of Big Brother feel that you at CBS and most of all Arnold Shapriro Productions couldn't care less how we feel about what is going on. We are only the paying customer here.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

I can't believe my feed just timed out because it was on the foh for too long! What could they possibly be doing for this long....can they really be singing that much?
Maybe they are rebelling, maybe they have figured it out. Two people singing and then the rest talk about stuff that we won't hear because they know that the feed will go to FOH
Hows that for a conspiracy theory?

They just don't care, and by "they" I mean Arnold Shapiro Productions. They get all the footage that they need, and the cameras roll whether we watch or not. I really don't think that there's anything we can do about it, short of cancelling the feeds. Good luck to those of you who are trying anyway. :)

I can't friggin believe this!

I sat here for over an hour having to listen to the FOH music while they were SINGING?

This is total bullsh-t.

Are the hgs doing it on purpose?

I remember during BB1 Eddie and Josh sang a lot and maybe the orignal producers got into some hot water over the whole broadcasting music over the Web thing. Fine. It's understandable that Arnie doesn't want to mess with the RIAA.

But last year, I don't remember anyone from BB2 being obsessed with singing! What the hell is wrong with these people?

I am so pissed off right now! UGH!

Well, the good news is, Amy--the one who can't shut her trap and stop singing--will be gone in a few days and HOPEFULLY this FOH crap will STOP!!!

Well I kinda got the impression that there was alot of them singing and hooping it up. I could see through the window behind the guys talking in the hot tub that they were jumping up and down laughing. My point is why are they allowing them to do it at all if it is not allowed to go out over the feeds. Why tell them repeatedly not to do it but attach no penalty for disobdience. The only people being punished for their behavior is us the paying customer.

I think AS wants to bork the feeds up so much this year so that they get scrapped next year. I'd imagine subscriptions are down a lot and for Shapiro this means a job well done.

That wouldn't make much sense. Excepting bandwith costs, the feeds are almost pure profit. They have to film anyway..

Flores I don't mean to belittle your attempt at all, and I do believe that any action is better than none, but I still think any and all communications should at the very least be CC'd to the apppropriate department at CBS.

Arnie's actions have demonstrated time and time again what Truly said so well before. Not only could he not care less about us, he wants us to go away. CBS on the other hand, might care as they represent the bigger picture.

Has anyone noticed how much more stuff we see on the TV show that we never saw on the feeds this year? I suppoese this is the reason we get only two real feeds (1/2, 3/4), or sometimes all four feeds on one discussion. We knew things were going on they weren't shoing us, but after watching the show we can really start to get an idea of how much they edit from us.

I don't think that they really want to stop the feeds all together though. Last year I read they got like 50k paid customers. That million I would think would cover the bandwith cast, and the 500k prize.

Keiffer, I've noticed it as well. I wonder how the TV shows are where the feeds are better than what we have here. Like the UK, etc?
