During its premiere week, BIG BROTHER: AFTER DARK will air commercial-free on TVGN. To locate TVGN on basic cable, viewers can visit www.tvgn.tv for a channel finder.
Last summer, BIG BROTHER experienced significant growth across platforms. The on-air social integrations – including primetime reality television’s first live Twitter vote, which gave fans the opportunity to influence components of the show in real-time – helped drive a 558% increase in social conversation over the previous season.
BIG BROTHER follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with more than 53 cameras and 97 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, the Houseguests will vote someone out of the house. At the end, the last remaining Houseguest will receive the grand price of $500,000. BIG BROTHER is produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol U.S.A.
It was a good first season , I enjoyed it. I liked the tasks that they houseguests had to do. However, near the end it was boring and there were a few too many twists.
I guess we can't get them because it is on the CBS site.

Yes CBS is going to be offering the feeds this season rather than SuperPass... Canadians aren't able to access the CBS site? What happens when you go to it? I wouldn't get bummed just yet Sammy especially how many Canadians fans there are of BB, I'm sure someone will somehow make it so that they'll be able to access the feeds.
I am reading around that Canadians can't get the live feeds. This sucks!! For those that watched BBCan feeds how did you do it?
Sammy...i was watching the feeds on justintv. People in Canada were streaming them to us...i found links on hamsterwatch and jokers when they started. I was also able to watch them directly on the ipad. I have no idea why the apple products allowed the feeds through. Maybe because their security doesnt allow the website to know where the user is located. (just a thought).

I also Watched bbca On Justintv. I found the link at jokers.
Ladies it would of been great if you covered BBCA. It was accually a great season with one of the biggest Moments in a finale ever. The one thing I really enjoyed about Big Brother Canada was it was an All new cast. I really Hope Kasstings has learned from BBCA And casts a really great cast of people (instead of some models).
Ill make sure when the season comes closer to look for ways for you to watch the feeds sammy.

Hey CC and Bostongirl! What was so great about the finale? Did you guys like Canada better than our US version? Were there any differences?
It was Very similar to BB US. There were alot of Twist but I really loved that it was all new people and most were fans. I'm hoping BB15 is all newbies like the rumors are saying cause I think Fresh Faces are better. I think the thing I loved most about BBCA was the House. It was so much better then the BBUS House (Since there remodeling the house I hope we have an amazing house this year)
Basically what happen in the finale The Final Vote were being cast (and rules are you vote for a winner like how it is on BB US and even Survivor) . Well Topaz was voting for her Best friend Gary to win but instead put Jillian key in the slot. The votes came out 4-3. So basically Topaz mistake caused Jillian to win the game and her Best friend Gary to lose. She freaked out too like production was pulling something on her. It was crazy.
I am reading around that Canadians can't get the live feeds. This sucks!! For those that watched BBCan feeds how did you do it?
Hi sammy, I know your Canadian, so am I, so here are some suggestions for how to get around this. Yes, unfortunately the feeds will not be available to Canadians this year because of licensing regulations here in Canada, but do not despair. What you can do is sign up for the feeds using your credit card but maybe instead find a U.S. zip code number to put in instead, and you can also get an ip proxy that shows you as living in the States. It sucks but it is what it is.

There weren't any real differences, the show was a complete carbon copy of the U.S. version, and the cast wasn't so great so it got boring very early on. But it has been renewed for a second season, so hopefully next year it gets better.

So What is everyone opinion on the rumors that there maybe Survivor or TAR Players in the house? I don't believe many rumors til I see the cast.

CC - It's hard to tell if that's true or not. I haven't heard too much about it but Hayden is suppose to be on Survivor for the next season of that so who knows....
Sammy - that was a crazy moment.... seemed kind of fake, do you think she is that dumb to choose someone she didn't want to win?

At first I thought it couldn't be real and she was acting because it did seem over the top. However, I think she just made a mistake. Her speech when putting in her key was a dig at Jill because during an endurance comp it came down to Jill and Topaz and Jill told Topaz her and Alec were 150%. Jill then put up both of them, so it would seem that her vote was suppose to be against Jill. In interviews she said that she had Jillian on the mind and didn't realise which key she put.

I'm interested in this twist that America will have some power weekly (I don't know if I like it yet but it could work) Hopefully if we give a person power once then we can't give it to them again.
And The familiar face has to be a Survivor or TAR player.
