Oregonfire | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:51 pm     I'm to the point that I don't even understand what FOTH is trying to hide. It cut to FOTH several times on all the feeds in the last 15 minutes for no apprarent reason at all. |
Keiffer | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 03:22 pm     SO, why dont they just announce to us that they are not going to have Live Feeds until after the show on Thursday. SInce I got home from work it has been on the front door for an hour. How lonf does it take them to practice a game that lasts five mintes, or to tell them where to sit during the show? |
Goddess146 | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:38 pm     I will bet that tonight's "live" show is not live. They went FOTH about 2:20. It is now 4:30 and they are still FOTH. I predict that it will remain FOTH until after the "live" show. They had a lot of screwups on the last "live" show. My thought is the producers are taping the "live" show right now. What we see will be a well rehearsed show with lots of retakes. When the feeds do come back (if they ever do) be on the look out for clues that they had not just finished "live" show. Things like the clothes they are wearing, their conversations, their activities, etc. |
Marysafan | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:43 pm     Goddess you just might be on to something. There were a lot of screw ups during last weeks Head of household competition. Looking at the picture of the set up for this weeks competition...I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out they taped it and edited it. |
Crossfire | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:45 pm     I agree, very interesting comment. |
Keiffer | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:45 pm     Goddess, I made the same argument last week, and got some egg on my face. I don't think thaat they are filimg right now, but you do have to wonder what they heck they could be doing that precludes the internet from seeing it. Does the HG's practicing to challenge for tonight really ruin the show for internet viewers? |
Bastable | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:49 pm     Certainly no worse than FOTH! I always get mad over this issue. We all love this show enough to pay to watch the feeds. What makes Shapiro think we wouldn't also watch the broadcasts? We're the biggest fans! |
Crossfire | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:49 pm     If they ARE taping, and leaving us on FOTH during the show, we should see be able to see either Tonya or Josh 'leaving'/'or not' for the exit interview. |
Bastable | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:50 pm     Crossfire, last week I think a few of us noticed it seemed to be a still of the FOTH--so you apparently can't see who's leaving live anymore. |
Crossfire | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:52 pm     OH, I did not know that. Thanks for the info. Hmmm, who's got the plan B envelope? |
Lauram | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 04:53 pm     The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.... |
Bastable | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:13 pm     Danielle telling Roddy one of the reasons she voted Tonya out is that she didn't act like she cared about her kids, admitted she was high on coke when she had three of them, was going to miss a court date to get them back because she was in the house FOTH--but only for about 5 seconds. It's like the control room said, "Never mind. We're tired of this, too. And it's all been said before." Fun to watch the FOTH (hopefully) peter out. |
Wcv63 | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:27 pm     Bastable: Dani actually said that about Tonya being on coke? |
Crossfire | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:28 pm     So that is another cocaine confirmation? One was already removed from here because it was unconfirmed. .....so much to say, but not a word of it could be in anyway considered 'not bashing'. |
Goddess146 | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:30 pm     I heard Dani says the getting-prego-on-coke stuff. |
Bastable | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:42 pm     Yes, that is not my conjecture. Roddy and Danielle talked about it, but Danielle was quick to point out that she MAY have cleaned up since then (although neither one was sure of it). Just reporting what a HG said (and she said it without venom)--it's not my bash! |
Wcv63 | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:49 pm     Never thought it was a bash Bastable. Just wanted a confirmation that you actually heard it with your own two ears. |
Goddess146 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:14 am     Now they are FOTHing when the HGs talk nasty about another HG. LiLi and ChiChi were talking about how they find Gerry disgusting so we get FOTH. Before long all we will see is two guys playing chess, people brushing thier teeth and liszards. |
Bastable | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Amy discussing the joint DR session she had with Marcellas. "We called John in," she says. FOTH Assuming she means de Mol? Obviously, BB doesn't want us to know the show is produced. Apparently, it sprouts right out of the ground magically. Virgin birth. Also don't want us to know why A and M were denied their voluntary exit. |
Bastable | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 01:49 pm     Several times in the past few days, every time one of the HGs mention their "handler," we get instant FOTH. Handlers are the chaperones the HGs have when they are preparing to go into the house, and presumably when they are evicted. The FOTH is particularly obnoxious here because it's purely to edit out mention of the BB staff. We KNOW the show has a staff, and we know it has certain duties in running the show. What is the fuction of blocking out all mention/evidence of it? As someone pointed out before, it's part of the BB experience. |
Tweepee | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 01:58 pm     Eric just sang the "A Team" theme and we got FOTH. Danielle starting singing thet heme to "One Day at a Time" and it happened again. So we can say that BB doesn't want us to know the theme song for the A-Team. Why don't they just TELL THE HOUSEGUESTS TO STOP SINGING???? What is so hard about that? Better that than all of us stop watching the useless feeds. Shapiro, TELL THE HGs TO STOP SINGING OR ELSE FACE PUNISHMENT. It's really very simple. |
Bastable | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 01:33 pm     They were talking about how the BB voices get their attention. Jason and Marc mentioned John. Chaira mentions Neil/Neal. FOTH, 15 seconds. |
Oregonfire | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 05:21 pm     Good--this thread still exists. Why are all four cams on Marc, Amy, and Danielle discussing the special dinner? If the Core Four are having a sh*t f*t, I want to know about it. Or maybe they aren't. Either way, why the "white out"? (my expression for when they have all four feeds on one scene, when you know darn well that six or eight people are unaccounted for and having at least one other probably interesting or key convo elsewhere in the house.) |
Maryk | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 05:24 pm     Roddy and Chiara are asleep and Eric & Lisa are "dating". I agree with you though, its a waste to have 4 feeds all on one scene.

Duncan | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 08:06 am     I was just looking at the UK's BB website ( which, IMHO, is vastly superior to CBS' paltry excuse for one.....they had continual updates of the goings-on inside the house, but I digress )...seems in the UK, BB actually does punish those who flaunt the rules. I saw several references to HGs getting 'strikes' for violations. I am assuming that it is a 3 strike system, although I don't know if the third strike is an automatic nomination for eviction, or an automatc eviction, or something else entirely, but the HGs seemed to take it seriously. There were also other 'punishments' listed for more minor violations, but I did not read all of them. |
Tweepee | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 01:35 pm     Now that Tonya's gone, is the FOTH only hiding songs? Or has the focus shifted to hiding information about the BB production staff? |
Violet | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 01:52 pm     I think the FOTH is hiding: songs (but, why??), anything about the rules, any comments about the staff & directors, and definitely anything personal about friends/ family from the outside. What else...? |
Cajunrambler | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 02:39 pm     And anything the producers can make up as they go along. The ad at real.com says "uncensored", that's a joke. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:13 pm     Whats with tonights FOTH? Perhaps one of Arnie's new twists? For sure they could find a conversation that we could watch... heck even a HG sleeping or something. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:21 pm     oh... my real was locked up or something..... never mind |
Goddess146 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:33 pm     Josh just said something about "only being punished when the internet is off and we are in rehearsal." Immediate FOTH at the point. |
