Hi all. I have a question for you. I noticed that some people already know who HOH is from tonight's show. I always thought Thursday nights were live.

Guess I was wrong, right?

No, Dierpg, you're not wrong. But it's live on east coast time - and so it is live at 6 PM. PST. The taped version is aired in all zones other than EST.

Dierpg, you might be surprised to learn that most of what you see on the abc/nbc/cbs is tape delayed by three hours. Except most sports.

It is also the only advantage IMO that we East coasters have over the Westies. I would easily give up the prospect of watching the show live if I didn't have to stay up til 4am everynight to see some action on the feeds. A lot of them are still sleeping at 3pm here and then it is laundry and boring stuff. Oh and at night when I really want to watch, it is ab class! Grrrrrr.

Ugh, I so agree, Delilah!! All of the good BB stuff happens when I've already been in bed for two hours!! Then, HG's don't even wake up until mid-afternoon our time!

LOL! Maybe I should just move out to the west coast to accomodate my BB-watching preferences!!

Delilah I agree with you! I've been taking some medication that knocks me out and I can barely stay awake until my husband gets home at 10:30. I'm missing all the good feeds. The other night I tried to watch an interesting conversation between Eric and Roddy at 4am and I couldn't follow the conversation and had to stop trying to help with the live feeds. I wish they would put the house in St Louis where there would only be an hour time difference from us.

I live in Indiana, and I avoid this board on Thursday nights so I don't get the info before I watch it. An hour later is close enough to "live" for me.

Ditto Delilah!!! All the good stuff (and there sure hasn't been much of it this year) has come late into the night. I'd wish they would at least make it so those on the east coast could later view the late night feeds. Of course that would mean they actually would have to care about the internet viewers which we know they don't, so not gonna happen :(

It's also not fair to ask the EST/CST people not to discuss it after seeing the show.

I didn't realize this until I visited the site and discovered who was evicted and who won HOH. I'll just ban myself from here on Thursdays until I finish watching the show! ;)

I have never watched a competetion before. They keep having to restate the rules because a plane keeps flying overhead.

i also agree delilah, it is our only advantage over the westies. and for those in other time zones who don't want to know who gets hoh and who gets evicted ahead of time, we try to contain it to one topic, so you all have to try to fight going into it and peeking.

Isn't it ironic that a live TV show taking place on the West Coast is live for the East Coast but on tape delay for the West Coast?

amac, it sure is ironic but i think they want the show to be on prime time in all areas.

You guys should also know that the "LIVE FEEDS" aren't really live but on a 5 minute delay so that BB can have control over anything they really don't want you to see or hear.

Well Stingerman then I guess BB has been asleep at the switch on many occassions. :)

You are right Julia knew that Gerry was going to be HOH because she said that things are changing for him and Eric knew Gerry won before Julia told him so much for a live show.

Well Wcv63 why do think there have been so many "FOTH's". Sure sometimes it seems like they are asleep at the job but I would sure like to know what has been going on when we see FOTH!!!

Stingerman, of course I hate the FOTH. I live to hate the FOTH. I've started using FOTH as a verb. If I dislike something intensely I FOTH it. FOTH is evil. I don't dispute that.
