We had Pugita in BB1 for one week, and it was hard for the hg's to say goodbye to her after the week... she was so cute!!! I think that they are worried about allergies, hence the reptiles.

Delilah, This is just what happened with the pug on BB1. She came from a rescue group and was adopted by one of the producers and put in the house. He was the one who took her to vet when she needed to go and took her home after her "eviction." I believe Britt even visited at her new home.

Laisey I didn't see BB1 but that doesn't sound like a bad scenario. I think people can get attached to turtles and reptiles too, I have a tortoise named Mr. Turtle and he is very sweet and I adore him

Isn't there an old cartoon with Mr Turtle and Mr Wizard? "Drizal, drazel, dreezel, drone. Time for this one to come home."

Anyone with me on this?

Delilah, I forgot to mention that CBS even posted a link to the pug rescue group on their website. On occasion they actually do something I like.

If they took care of rescued animals and got them ready for adoption, they might get a little more tv time after their evections.

CBS could even have a small service annoucment, at the end of every show.

I agree BB and Laisey, it would be nice to "give something back" wouldn't it?

The comps and ceremonies are carefully staged events with lots of producer coaching and re-takes. The five minutes we see on the TV often takes them an hour or more to shoot. The producers are not trying to hide the results. They are hiding the process.

This process hiding can be seen in other places besides the comps and ceremonies. Everytime BB makes a non-routine announcement we get the FOTH. The cast has been told (over and over again) not to talk about their Diary Room sessions. Whenever the cast starts to talk about the process we get the FOTH or a feed switch.

As long as we are totally OT. The problem with pets on the show is the HGs. They had a pot bellied pig for a week (America's Choice) and one morning the pig woke up Krista (who wanted to take care of it) and she didn't want to get up that early. Instead of taking the pig outside to do it's business, she locked the pig in it's little house (about the size of a carrying case) and went back to bed. A while after that she was awakened by BB and called to the DR where she was told to free the pig and that the internet viewers were ringing the phones off the hook. The pig was also from a rescue group.

I would love to see a cat on the show. It might be more interesting than some of these HGs. It would be easy to cast people who are not too allergic to tolerate. I've always wondered what the heck my cat did when I was asleep, it would be fun to watch a cat wander around at night.

Edited to add - I guess I would be concerned that some of these more immature types that they cast might abuse an animal.

There was a cat in the house of BB2 in Germany. It was fun to see the cat roaming around, who she would cuddle up to, who she would avoid, etc. More than one evicted house guest found it important to say goodbye to the cat. The cat did cause some problems when it climed the outside walls, walked on the roof, etc.

Delilah, I love your idea of a parrot. Oh, wouldn't that be great to see it spilling the beans, right as the houseguest is lying.

Xarph, does Real One have live feeds for all the BB's around the world?

I watched Germany BB2 live feeds. They were free at that time - several years ago.

I believe most of the world's BB feeds are no longer free. To get nost of them you have to sign up for a different sort of Real pass.
