The final episode of BigBrother 2 was available for viewing on the CBS BB website. I was wondering if it is possible to watch BB2 episodes on the internet. I missed the last 10 minutes of wednesday's episode.

Amy and Roddy were on the hammock and Amy was telling Roddy that she can't use veto on him. What happened next?

Thanks.

Unless I am mistaken it was not the final episode that was available, it was the "missing episode" that was cancelled due to 9/11.

We summarize the shows here as well but since you are dying to know (and I have not gotten to watch it yet....) you can find re-caps at zap2it usually around 12am the night of shows (eastern).

http://tv.zap2it.com/news/tvnewsdaily.html?27947

a portion - and keep in mind this is not a word for word re-cap - the author inserts her opinions:

Amy refuses to use the Power of Veto on Roddy, tearfully explaining that she won't sacrifice herself and get nothing in return. She can't use POV to save herself, so once again it goes back in the box.

Breaking her promise was hard, but ultimately it was a smart move. Her only mistake is trying to win Roddy's approval afterward.

He tells her that she's taken advantage of his kindness, and that the guilt she is feeling is actually easier than keeping her word. Now, he says, she's shown the rest of the houseguests that her word is no good. As he gets up to leave, he tells Amy that he still loves her, and kisses her on the forehead.

Roddy's really got this act down. Does anyone else suspect that he's the type of guy who could cheat on his girlfriend, then rationally explain to her that it was her fault? On the bright side, guys like Roddy are easy to forget once they are gone, and hopefully he will be on Thursday.

btw - there was a site that claimed to have the shows available - but I think they ran out of bandwidth a few weeks into the shows run.

The link to it is in the links area of this site.

I won't explain how to use the USENet system, but I have seen BB3 episodes posted in the alt.binaries.multimedia newsgroup usually within a couple of days of the show airing. They are huge 50-150MEG files, so if you don't have broadband (DSL or CableModem) it's probably not worth the effort. Go to USENet.org's website to learn more about it.

An additional note FWIW: The news group alt.binaries.tv.big-brother had the finale available for downloading within hours of the showtime.

HOWEVER: The uploaded file was archived using a program called "WinRAR" and then encoded using something called "yENC". A total of 7 files averaging approximately 14MEG's each which extract to a 105MEG .WMV file that looks like a VHS recording on SLP.

There are other files in that newsgroup, like (as of last night) the entire Marcellas eviction video clip and assorted still images.

If you click on the link above, at least in Netscape, you will be taken into the NewsReader program built into Netscape. I don't know what happens in Explorer.

Hope this helps someone.
