They're on lockdown in the BY right now and Jee just speculated that they'll have an indoor food competition. I'll be he's right. Wasn't it the food comp that they did in the newly closed-off bedroom last season? The one where Amy lost her ring? I think Jee's on to something here.

...lost her ring the first time, then lost it again which caused M to blow up at her.

Classic stuff.

Although the live feed posters do an amazing job, there are times I'd like to see the feeds in the morning when the HGs are sleeping. Has anyone ever asked if we could get recorded streams from the primetime hours after they've all gone to bed? Where would you email to suggest it? Thanks.

Is it just me, or is the board having troubles tonight? Things are getting really slow, and when I do get the page, sometimes the colours are all psychedelic! I tried another website just to test my computer, and it seems to be okay.
Figures, when I've been too busy to visit for a while, then when I do have time, I can't get in!
Waaaaah!

nope- it took me a long time to get back here when I hit reload.

Thanks, Cinder. I couldn't get anything at all after posting the above, so I took a break, and it's still slow for me, so maybe I'll wait for my usual late night catching up session. I thought to myself, after going for a cuppa, that perhaps the Amazing race finale has the board busy in the other area tonight, but who knows?

Did the girls just say that Justin took a handful of condoms with him?? HEE! Look out DANA!

Love it...eat your heart out, Ali.

So, what are they going to do tomorrow if there is no VETO competition??

Haven't had much time to read the board today. (Busy preparing stuff for my classroom and the first day of school on Monday!) If someone could answer a few questions for me I'd greatly appreciate it!

Does someone now have the POV for this week? Did Jee do nominations yet? If so, who's up? A big thank you to anyone who answers!!

Jee nominated Jack and Erika.

BB offered to exchange POV for a week of pbj and Jee took it. So he has POV as well.

Thanks so much Spunky! That tells me exactly what I wanted to know!

is anyone else cancelling their live feeds?

Mich - "is anyone else cancelling their live feeds?"

I think about it daily, but then I always remember the HOH comp for the final 3 in BB2 (waterbed, no pee breaks, Nicole flipping out) and BB3 (the hours long floating boat between Lisa, Dani and Jason). Then I decide to keep them "just in case" it gets exciting towards the end again.

Of course, *then* I remember how the feeds were so messed up on those HOH nights because of the overload of net traffic with a gazillion people trying to watch them at the same time.

I'll most likely just keep them until it's over and then wish I hadn't bothered! :)

ugh! i know sanfran :) i just know that i'll wish i didn't bother as you said but it's driving me crazy that they don't seem worth while right now.

when is the finale?

Mich, nope. But, I subscribe to RealOne during the rest of the year for the other content they offer. (I love their RadioPass too.) So, the Big Brother feeds come along with the pass level I pay for.

If the house is on PBJ, why are they eating real food now? When does PBJ start?

I've paid the one time fee. Cancelling them would get me exactly nothing. Why cancel? If I don't want to watch I don't have to. Still more bang for the buck than three over priced hollywood movies.

PB& J starts at midnight

I use the realplayer and/or it's other services more year round than I do during BB so I won't be cancelling. I just play music instead of the feeds. Late night chatters and live feed posters are my live feeds.

Can someone explain the PB&J/Veto twist to me?

This is a reply to DOGDOC for the question on Monday last.
I'm sorry I didn't see your question earlier, Dogdoc, or I would have replied right away-I've had a busy family week and wasn't able to catch up on the threads before now.
I felt a bit embarrassed that you asked me the question, because I only took French as a second language - but I do live in Canada so I see and hear it a lot, LOL!
Anyway, my first reaction was that the word means exactly what you thought, but to be sure I went looking in my French dictionary - still have it after lord knows how many years since I left school! No listing for it though, so I checked the English dictionary, since voyeur is now part of the language, and nothing there either.
Last resort, translation websites, and several places couldn't find the word, although one came up with 'voyess' as the English translation for the French 'voyesse' :-O
I think that maybe James either coined her own feminine version of voyeur, or it's one of those rarely used words that aren't always in an ordinary dictionary.
(I wish I had the complete Oxford of many volumes that my library acquired when it came out some years back, but since it costs thousands, I'll have to win the lottery, and it still might not be there anyway!)
I'm sorry I couldn't find you a better answer, but perhaps if a true Francophone reads this, they might take pity on us and give us the real gen!
Good luck!

Thank you Beruthiel. I just got back to this thread myself. Thank you for doing all that delving. I probably misspelled voyess because I was doing it from memory from the book. I also could not find it in the dictionary and do not have a French one. That was so nice of you to do the research.

Beruthiel

You're welcome, Dogdoc, and it was a pleasure
I used to work in Reference, and looking for answers was a big part of my job, so I enjoy it-a nice change from BB, LOL!

This is the 1st USBB I`ve had the pleasure (albeit painful at times) of watching.
Its a whole new experience to me with all the double dealing, bitching etc.
Were the previous BB`s as complex as this one?
If I could get a dvd of one - which would be the best BB to buy?

I looked for the Things I need to Complain about thread, but it's awol, so I figured I could post this here. Is it acceptable for TVCH members to get confrontational and call each other names on the boards? I understand differences of opinions, but I'll be honest, some of the comments I've read lately slip over the edge of disagreement, and into the realm of just plain name-calling and personal attacks. I'll admit, it makes me uncomfortable.
