It is not evident on the live feeds, but there is something up just outside the house today that has a lot of the staffers VERY busy and concerned.

Caught a bit of feed from LA to NY about 12:00 BB time today and there was a LOT of scrambling around the host set, near the front door (the FOTH feed on the internet must have been a tape loop) and lots and lots of shouting and conversations, mostly unintelligible, both inside and outside of the host set.

This is NOT the same activity that has occurred the last 2 live show days during setup and rehearsal. It was much more hectic and confused than the past 2 weeks.

I don't know what is up, but it has the appearance of being something very serious or out of the "normal" live show day activities.

Any ideas?

I think Lori is going to run in and SCREAM at everyone for bad mouthing Gerry - now that would be great live tv.

ok, I'm finally curious about this twist.

It can't be as simple as bringing back an old houseguest - that wouldn't necessitate any increased activity.

hmmm....

I would like it if each one had been sequestered and shown the feeds. They were each given specific hgs to watch and they were required to make lists of their behaviors..then they come into the house and take thier group aside and let them know what the findings were.

Lisa..you didn't wash your hands 6 times after fondling your man

Chiara..you didn't wash your hands 3 times after poops because you were too busy finding someone to look at it.

Eric..you worked out 900 times and only showered 10 times in 3 weeks.

Marc..you always washed your hands but never cooked a meal for the hgs. You mouth is the dirtiest thing in the house so why didn't you wash it or shut the hell up. By the way even if Lori did tell you about the 6pack how the hell was that going to save your sorry ass?

Dani..you dropped hairs all over the house during your armpit waxing. and your feet are really ugly.."Is that a hammer toe?"

Chiara/Lisa..you never washed your hands after
grooming your monkey men.

Josh..If you would wash your beard off you wouldn't have to keep shaving off the cereal that got trapped in it..

I'm thinking they're looping the FOTH. Isn't there usually activity in the front around this time?

It could be a simple as the air conditioning does not work or there is a problem with the satellite feed. Let's not assume that it has anything to do with the actual workings of the show.

Or maybe Julie was rehearsing, stood up and did not place her right foot directly in front of her left! <g>

Maybe I'm being totally dense right now, but I don't get this part: "Caught a bit of feed from LA to NY about 12:00 BB time today..." This was on the live feeds?

And yes, there usually is activity outside the FOTH around this time!

About one hour and 15 minutes until the show starts on the East Coast.

I think they meant the satellite feed from LA to NY.

Ok Earthmother...now I am the one who just about lost the bite of turkey sandwich that I had just inserted into my mouth as I was reading your post! You are far too funny! ROFL! No wonder I never get anything done anymore. At work, I keep the feeds on in the background...at home I turn the volume up and pretend to try to get some work done. Cooking dinner for my husband and myself?? Nah - turkey sandwiches and cottage cheese are much better for you once in awhile anyway, right??

BIGBROTHERBELLE:

What I was referring to was the satellite feed from the CBS North Hollywood facility (where the BB3 house is located) back to NY for insertion into the network.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no path from the North Hollywood facility back into the network (this is the complex where the shows that don't have a live audience are taped).

As a result, there is a satellite truck parked outside the BB3 house on Thursday for the live feed show to send the program back to NY.

Sorry I didn't make that clear in my inital post.

RWilliam: sure is nifty about that satellite feed. Bet it's fun to watch.

Since the Twist thread where you were posting earlier is closed now and the other Twist threads are being post-live show mobbed... Thanks for posting the Videopark link. Yes, I am interested in seeing more on equipment setup, camera alleys, set construction, anything along those lines.

Just checked Outside The House and I don't see any related material there. Wonder if you'd consider starting a thread there with behind-the-scenes links including any supplemental commentary? Maybe it would smoke out others with BB tech experience?
