And to think Twiggish, I have been paying to see your web cam for months now. Now I can see it for free.

Thanks Draheid! Tried the link and passed the test!
I knew we had a firewall, because occasionally it's caused me trouble! Last year my son had to make a hole so that I could get the feeds. LOL!
Anyway, I'm stealthy too, so I guess I can sneak about to my heart's content... I always fancied being a Bond Girl, LOL!

I'm changing the subject here (sorry) but my com;aint is that our town is overrun with deer--hundreds of them. They are eating our vegetable gardens and rosebushes. They look you right in the eye while gobbling down apples off the trees. There are so many of them on the bike paths that kids are getting hurt. They bed down on the front lawn and bring all their kin for a sleepover. Yelling at them does no good, and they laugh at bad smelling deterants. They just amble away from barking dogs.
I know you guys can't do anything, but I just wanted to complain. Snort.

Well, we've got grasshoppers eating everything, and squirrels destroying everything; West Nile virus, Sars, and mad cow disease scaring away all the tourists; drought, forest fires, and mosquitoes the size of Hurricane bombers making what's left of existence miserable;, and two tornadoes this afternoon - but I'm not complaining!

Catfat, Not sure what you can do if your town has a noise ordinance, but when I lived in MI the growers had something in their orchards that "went off" every couple of hours. Sounded like a shotgun going off and it seemed to work well keeping the deer out of the orchards and fields.

This site has some interesting products:

Well, I thought I'd return this thread to BB Griping.....

This has probably been talked about before, but since I don't get the time to frequent all the BB threads, it's a first for me..

Anyway, the whole nomination ceremony performance is really getting old. Are we really supossed to believe that Dana, Ali or Justin really had a hard time picking their nominees?

Each week, they show the HOH going to "The Wall" and looking pensivly at all the pictures. Then they slowly and dramatically take the keys down off the wall to prepare the nomination box. Then they sit in the HOH room, and sit there mulling over the nomination box as they make their big decision.

The pensive brooding is so overperformed, and way overdone. Geeze, can't we just have an HOH skipping gleefully to the wall to take down the keys and having a maniacal grin on their face as they put the two nom keys in the dresser drawer?

We all know its a house divided. Why all the drama?

Also, tonight's naked bubble bath challenge was just stupid. These "challenges" are nothing more than juvinile frat house pranks.

Let's all us TVCH'ers get together and produce our own reality show. With all the great ideas we see posted here, we could have a great show. We could call it The Clubhouse.

Whoami, you are totally correct... I've been thinking that aside from the boring cast, that BB has shot its load.

All of the ceremonies have become routine and boring. How many different ways can you make the veto one interesting. If I hear 'its nothing personal' one more time I am going to scream.

I need to complain about BB's choice of competions..IMHO it is in very bad taste to force all the HG to disrobe in front of each other( the Laundry Comp..everyone naked in a bunch of bubbles) yes on TV everything was covered with white blurrs, but I am talking about just making them do it..This group of HG have been pretty conservative about nudity, even putting a towel over the shower door to shower even though it is frosted. I don't know if the HG signed agreements with BB to get naked for comps but in my opinion this was very unfair of BB and in very poor taste..it is stooping very low for ratings...forced nudity..what will their next depravity be? Just my opinions!

Thank you all for all of your help!!! I am going to try all of them then spray my computer down with Raid and hope I can get rid of it.

Twig - I looked as much as I could for a topic on it here and in the General area but couldn't find it. I even checked the techincal topics. Sadly, I could only stay online for about 10 minutes at the most so I didn't have a lot of time to spare to do much searching.

DallasBB- you probably made the right choie about choosing this thread because everyone reads it.

Boberg- I agree with what you said- but remember last year. The VERY FIRST competition required the HG's to swap bathing suits (a male to wear a females) while in a pool of slime. That comp was before feed were ever on- so we never really heard if anyone was offened by it. Like you said though - this group has been more conservative. Nate dresses under the covers. Would they have been less conservative now if they had to undress in front of each other in the beginning? Who knows.
I think it was a stupid competition. I for one would be happy to get my laudry done though (even though they are not) And that left them more time to clean the house a day early yesterday.

I thought is was very disingenous of BB to make it sound like on the edited version of the TV show that they were HAPPY with the luxuary. Allie and Erika hated it, Nate, Jack, Jun seemed indifferent at best. Justin, the object of the dirty clothes montage didn't need it because he got laundry as HOH anyway. Some enjoyed the actual competition - but no one seemed to think the reward was all that hot.

I would like to complain about the FOTHing today. Normally on live show day, we get a lot of FOTHing for rehersals, etc. Today they are no rehersals and we are getting even more FOTHing.

It is clear from the last FOTH that they are attempting to hide who in being evicted. The stooges are supposed to decide today who will go based upon the type of HOH competition. We really have not heard any of this on the feeds. Robert said to Jee something about "Nate does not know." The went off to another room to talk about it. We got the FOTH.

Last week, we had that interview with Arnie. At the end of the interview he tried to leave the impression that Dana might not be leaving. He was trying to play "keep the dummies in suspense." It looks like he has found a way to do it this week.

The trouble is that this censoring is violating the "be first to know" promise to the live feed buyers at the Real and CBS site.

Should I be bitter?

I'm with you Boberg. This show is getting to the point they need to move it to MTV. The language is awful and to force people to go nude is just wrong.

Lol, Gina, you are right. Wasn't that something that we didn't hear Erika complaining about having clothes ruined previously? Amazing what they can do with editing. They made it sound like it was the greatest gift ever.

Yes, Xarph, be bitter....be very bitter...as long as you are still hilarious! :)

Yeah. No sound. I wonder if this is intentional or a problem?
