Complaints need to go to three places.

Real - they need the dough from subs.
ASP - they control everything.
CBS - they want the ratings.

All have motivation to listen if people either cancel feeds, or promise not to watch.

Email is useless with CBS... call them instead

this is the number to the BB production
1-818-325-6900


I think a class action law suit is in order...


CBS and REAL player are ripping people off!!!!

Someone mentioned earlier about bypassing CBS and AS, and going straight to the sponsers. Maybe we should e-mail the folks that make Citrona and let them know exactly what the labrats think about their beverage and how they are not drinking it.

Sonehow I think sevral thousand feed viewers e-mailing Subway, and Citrona, and any other sponsors we can think of might get us some results. AS and CBS may not want to listen to us, but I bet they will listen the the people bankrolling them.

Duncan has the right idea.

If you REALLY want to change things at BB, you have to threaten CBS' pocketbook. Write the sponsors!

I promise you that is the quickest, best way. Sponsors are a jittery bunch. They will ask questions of CBS.

Maybe we should start a thread listing the addresses and phone numbers of the customer relations departments of all of BB's TV advertisers?

Mark my words--you will see action!

WOW! Could Arnold have given us any bigger slap in the face then to not allow us to see the awarding of America's Choice live on the Internet?

My suggestion: When a HG starts singing, pipe that awful FOTH music into the house for them to listen to until the forbidden activity is over. I bet that would make them stop!

Ryn, sorry about that. I just could not help myself. :-)

Duncan, I think you are right on about writing to the sponsors. Great idea!

You can give your feedback to Subway at:

Personally, I can no longer see the Subway logo with feeling the rage associated with FOTHing. It is working like an "aversion therapy."

This is making me crazy. All the feeds are in the bedroom and we can't see the convo between Roddy and Amy supposedly happening outside!

Are they not allowed to sing anymore? Gerry just started singing something and Jason told him "remember - no singing" and Gerry stopped. That would be good! No more "copyright" FOTH cuts.

Don't forget - Monster.com, blockbuster, subway, and that crappy "do I stay or do I go" drink all sponser BB3 - let's protest them all! >:P

I called that number that was listed in another post and left a message about how I feel about the feeds. This is totally uncalled for! We are basically spending money on 3 feeds for the price of one and not to mention the FOTH - this is false advertisting. Unedited access to the BB house my a$$!

I think it's ridiculous the way they don't let us see alot of what's happening or all feeds are on the same convo..This is the 2 year I have had the Live feeds and the first year free. That was the best! I'm gonna complain.. but to be honest I probably won't cancel just yet. I am hoping the show gets better as time goes by.

So what has it been now an hour on Jason and Daniel not even talking? WHat on earth are others in the house doing while we watch four feeds of the same thing.

Somewhere on this board I read the instructions for how to set the feeds up so they don't time-out after 30 mins. On occasion, mine run way past 30 mins. (never timed them to see how long they actually do run), but I'd like mine to run nonstop as they did during BB1. Could someone please tell me how to do this? Thank you.

Don't forget---if you DO choose to write to a sponsor, be very SPECIFIC about what you don't like about the BB feeds! Make sure they know you're talking about the feeds and not the show!

Otherwise they might pull sponsorship to the show and then we're all in trouble!!!

I agree, I'd be hesitant when bothering advertisers.

It's a great tactic when you want to get a show canceled or something, but I'd not take petty production/internet complaints to them.

CBS or ARNOLD

We want a feed of the sequestered houseguests.

It's part of the show.

It's our right!

Hook it up NOW.



please!!!

I have to agree with the folks that have said they'd be hesitant to contact sponsors. I really want BB4 to happen.
