FOTH Frustration Thread ~Grrrrr!~
Goddess146 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:22 pm     It looks like CBS is once again playing pbait and switch with the live feed advertisements. We may see the concert, but we probably will not see the HG reactions. I am just about fed up with the live feeds. If CBS screws us this time .... and it looks like they are going to... I will probably cancel my RP Pass. |
Keiffer | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:25 pm     ALright, I'll admit we MIGHT not be missing anything because of how the day has been. BUt getting closer to the show I am wanting to see how the introduce the whole thing to the HG's. It's one thing to FOTH a few minutes but we are getting pretty close to like 30 minutes now. |
Kapow | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:29 pm     Agreed Goddess. If we get shut out of the Sheryl Crow, I am through with Real. I don't get to watch the show on Wednesday and I will be po'd if tomight is only the concert with no hg reactions. Boo hiss! |
Xanaxnyquil | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:32 pm     I've had FOTH for 45 minutes.... anyone else enjoying the Sheryl Crow concert as much as me?? I HATE Real Player! What crooks... |
Rwilliam62521 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:32 pm     Has anyone considered the high cost of setting this all up, then tearing it down for just !3 Songs! Boy, BB or ASP must have LOTS of money, or the concert is being either donated or paid for by one of the advertisers (will we see ad logos on and above the stage?). Just my 2-cents worth. |
Countrymeadow | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:33 pm     Xanax it's not real player's fault this time. What we see is fed to them from BB cameras. It's BB's fault we are watching FOTH!!!! GRRRRrrr |
Strkaholic | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:34 pm     The concert does not start until 7:00 pm BB time, it is only 6:33 here so I don't think we are missing anything. I really think they are locked down in the HRD and they are piping in music or something so they can't hear them tune the instruments. |
Konamouse | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:34 pm     My guess is that the HG are in the HRD room for the lockdown while the concert promoters/talent are doing sound checks. They must have some music being pipped into the HRD to cover up the backyard noise. Just a thought. squeek. Still have 25 min until scheduled concert time. |
Edno67 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:37 pm     But they could show the HG's without sound,,,i've never understood why they just don't do that instead of the FOTH |
Xanaxnyquil | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:37 pm     Countrymeadow- Thanks. I know it's not really Real's fault... but they're a heck of a lot more accessible than CBS! |
Edno67 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:40 pm     If and when they do show this i hope at some point they let gerry play quitar lol,i know that he's gonna ask at some point |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Feeds!!! 6:45 They better stay up. |
Dagny | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:47 pm     If they piped in music...I HOPE IT WAS FOTH MUSIC!! LOL |

Goddess146 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:53 pm     Be on the look out for banners during the concert..... (evil laugh) |
Thorntara | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:57 pm     It's not Real's fault at all...they can't broadcast a feed they don't get. The fault lies solely with the HGs, who have been told not to sing. They've been told not to sing because CBS is too cheap to hire an intern to record the times and songs being sung and then pay the appropriate paltry royalties to the artists. However, the HGs know this, so they sing to get the cameras off them...especially Danielle and Roddy, but also Chiara (though she uses another tactic all together). They also sing to annoy the producers. Most of all, though, they sing (especially Dani) to prove that they have control over BB. I'm surprised that BB lets them get away with this! Though, apparently, there has been some admonition in that this morning, Jason started humming, we went to FOTH, and when back, he was saying, "I know, but some of them really want a couple of drinks, so even though it doesn't matter to me, I shouldn't do it." I assume he was talking about a no alcohol penalty for singing. The problem is that it doesn't matter to Dani, either. Mind you it could also be another interesting strategy to annoy Amy. Whatever.........the reality is that is it CBS' fault for not tracking and paying for the singing. And, it's the HGs fault for taking advantage of it. I'll bet the live feeds stay up during the concert, since CBS is paying for it. I'll bet it is totally FOTH after as HGs continuously sing. |
Cherylbinnc | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:25 pm     Well, that's encouraging. Gerry: Starts to sing something Roddy: "No singing!" Gerry" "What, are you the song police now?" And then Roddy said something about having pi**ed everyone off this afternoon. So, it looks like maybe they finally got the hint and are trying not to sing--to the point of admonishing each other when they do. Thanks, Big Brother. Cheryl |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:37 pm     I have a question. Are they still planning on timing out the feeds at 30 minutes during the live concert? Real and CBS have been promoting this like crazy and fans that may have signed up just for this will go nuts if their feeds time out in the middle of a song. If you order a baseball game I bet the feeds don't time out in the middle of a pitch. I hate the timeouts! And I hate the FOTHing FOTH! |
Goddess146 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 08:51 pm     Ok. I was wrong about the FOTH before, during and after the concert. I does sound like the long FOTH actually was due to them playing music to the HGs. I was wrong and I am glad. |
Ellenkats | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 09:52 pm     I'll have to pay closer attention to see if the singing is that deliberate. I find myself breaking into a song, or humming something almost all day long. I do it without even thinking. I try to think the best of people, with these HGs, it's harder and harder though.... |
Ellenkats | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 09:54 pm     Wcv63 -- mine had it's 30 minute time-out after the first song. Took three tries to get back, but luckily I was able to get back during second song. |
Stingerman | Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 05:49 pm     Why the FOTH for the last 15 minutes |
Bigbrotherbelle | Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 05:50 pm     They said something about "Houseguests X (I think 5)minutes until the HoH..." FOTH. |
