Just to make sure you guys don't think anything has changed - but as Square said, we've been offering chat spoiling for every Big Brother episode since the second season, all the Amazing Race episodes, and every Survivor, too. Heck, we even spoil regular shows just because a group of people are watching them at the same time and others want to know what is happening :)

It seems the thread spoiling didn't happen tonight because the regular thread spoilers were preempted because of football. I missed parts because of weather <blech>

To me the only new information gathered from the show was from the DR segments where Ali and Jun seemed to again confirm their "alliance".

The segments on Robert's ticks and HG camera-awareness were pretty funny though. Censored footage of Justin pulling Ali out of the shower the night before Nate used the veto and of Jun losing her towel boxing with Jee the other night was used in that segment.

The dumbest part of the show tonight was the long segment on the JFK assassination. What in the world does that have to do with Big Brother? And it really didn't reveal anything about Jack, who was the only HG alive at the time.

Regarding not spoiling and the spoilers being pre-empted and such: the same thing happened last Sat. night. There was no 'spoiler' titled thread at all and some spoiling wound up in another thread. It might be the mood of the season, but I chalked it up to a Saturday night show and everyone's habits not catching up to that.

Did anyone catch what was said during the first segment of the show (lead-in)? Naturally I wasn't taping but I could have sworn the man's voice said "the first in a series of twists". Unfortunately it wasn't mentioned again when Julie was introducing the Veto stuff or at the end of the show so I couldn't confirm what I heard.

Oh man. I forgot the show was on tonight. And after reading everyone's posts it would seem I didn't miss a thing.

Damn it. I hate that I have lost interest in a show I used to love so much.

Thanks for the info, guys.

The only spoiler thread that is a surprise to me is the Wednesday live show. How can anyone be surprised when we have the live feed updates to read the rest of the week? The veto twist happened yesterday and we already knew about it last night.

I can confirm that a series was mentioned. We will just have to keep an eye on it, set our expectations appropriately and enjoy them as they come even if I don't think anyone should be eating except Jee, no sharing. :)

I agree, Penpoint. The JFK material might have been interesting to some--I heard it all on the live feeds--but was a little out of place.

The producers probably decided to squeeze it in tonight for two reasons. Tuesday's show will be packed with Jee's nominations, Julie offically awarding Jee the veto, the food competition, the clothing sacrifice, the shopping spree, and the veto meeting. But the main reason for the JFK segment tonight was probably the fear that Jack could be evicted Wednesday, and that would make the segment useless later.

Widow, ALL of the Diary Room entires are new to us as well as it is just interesting to know what BB chose to air.

And, we never get to see the actual competitions, so they are always new to us, even if we know who wins. We weren't positive before the show aired tonight that Jee was the only one who accepted the deal for the veto.

I was possitive 'cause I read last night's updates, they were all mad late last night(est) becaause Jee was the only one... I did enjoy watching the reaction on camera to Jee's being the only one to take the bribe. It would be great fun if there was a reunion series, but please no Mike Boogie-lol

Anyone of the other houseguests could have lied about accepting the deal. They didn't have to reveal their decisions - only the one who "won" in the end is revealed. We didn't know for sure until tonight :)

Extra note- They got even madder when Jee won the lux comp(Macdonellds). He will choose one person a day to share a meal with. The others think he should not have gone for the win since he already gets to eat. Of course, Jee said he would be on pj&j for solidarity. The others aren't buying that one. He still gets the Mac meal every day, not sure how many a day. The others are pretty pissed. This will be shown on tuesday show along with the veto ceremony which happens tomorrow afternoon/eve.

I took a nap and overslept so I wasn't here to nag and beg.

And I know some of you can't understand why everyone doesn't just give in, shut up and go to chat, but here in the thread:

1. you can control the "scrolling", by choosing when to refresh.
2. you don't have to additionally burden your computer running chat software or scripting.
3. But of course the most important to me, even though it isn't my actual problem.. for any number of reasons, people may miss the show..the vcr/tivo didn't work, the person recording the show didn't work, the person had an emergency and didn't get home in time, the show was pre-empted.. and so on..

As far as I know chats aren't archived.

This thread remains around long enough for anyone to catch up on the spoiling and comments about the show or the spoiling.. And it is fun :)

As far as them being mad at Jee, yes that is old news if you get the feeds or read the LFpost but for the show and the tv-only viewers, that was new.

(interesting timing.. show just ended I just checked feeds and JeeRatBert is scarfing down non PBJ food in the HOH.. Robert seems ok with it tho)

. . "the first in a series of twists". Yep, you heard correctly, raen, and then they took 45 minutes to get to the big "twist" that amounts to nothing more then their eating pb&j for a week. Sorry but I thought this was an incredibly boring episode. Just my opinion of course. I know we heard a few new DR comments and Jack discussing JFK but basically it was 45 min. of stuff that had not much to do with the game and then 5 min. of how Jee got the veto and then 10 min. of people whining about it. Does BB think this will help the ratings?

Sorry ~ I just realized that I should take my "complaints" and rants to the complaint thread. :0)

I agree, it was boring since most of us knew. Also extra note- they held the shopping spree to be shown tuesday and Erika got a shirt or jacket with pink fur on the collar(must be fake though some are posting rabbit). She seems delighted and says this will go with her"pink boots". Where is Bunny when I need her?

So Tuesday will be

Nominations, Food Comp, Luxary Comp AND POV meeting. I wonder if they are going to wait to show the POV meeting until Wednesday.

Whoa , Sea - I hope I didn't come across as wanting people to just shut up and come to chat. That's not how I feel at all! I realize that the spoiling threads are very important. I just came into this thread earlier and pointed people to a place where they could get informaiton they were seeking. I couldn't spoil in either place because of weather report interruptions. Chat isn't for everyone, though everyone is always welcome.

The show summaries do provide the information as well, though, for those who miss the shows.

(I keep plugging the summaries because I know how hard those guys work to do them and they get very little recognition )

Unless Jee changes a nomination, that should be worth about 15 seconds

I agree- but you know how they like to play it up. I feel they wasted alot of time tonight on the show.

They should have made the "winner" of the POV comp *not* eat PB&J. That would have increased their resentment and taken Jee's little offer to join them away. In fact, make him eat a full three meals of takeout every day for a week, and we'd have a whole new Jee by the end of it.

I thought the funniest part was when Robert kept complaining about the sucker who took the bribe and put everyone on pbj... at that point Jee wasn't sure if he was the only one.. but I liked the way BB kept showing Robert pissed and talking to Jee...that had me laughing out loud! How soon he changed when he found out it was Jee, then for Jee he's ready to be on PBJ, but by that time Jee knew how much Robert was really pissed.

I agree that Kennedy assassination story by Jack is becoming repetitive and maybe BB aired it to show that Jack has a Kennedy fixation just at much Robert has one, with picking his nose etc.. I know he's passionate about the matter but enough is enough, the FBI is not God and they'll never be sure. But Jack said 'case closed'.
Anyway, 'nough said.

Too bad the show didn't finish with the drama of the nominations...but Tuesday's show will be packed with enough drama to keep us entertained for a good hour.

I think this thread is not just for spoiling, but for discussion, too.
About the chat. I have a very old, overloaded computer and can't download any more programs and can't do the chatrooms.
Besides, they scroll by so fast, by the time you have typed your comment, it has become irrelevant.
So, for anyone who wants to stay here in General Discussion, I'll be here too!
