well you have to remember PJ, Enzo also thinks this the greatest alliance in BB history and that the Brigade is why the ratings are high and that they are a shoe in for the fan fav award. Not to mention the movie deals and opporunities that will be thrown their way. Pretty delusional.

They are delusional. They will never be able to live up to 15 min of fame.Dr Will was on Dr. 90210. Shoot Jeff and Jordo got TAR and ATWFF. Steven and Michele Noonan do Porn. Shoot BB9 Parker has been in several TV commercials and is on the cover of a video game (he will also be on Are yo smarter than a 5th Grader?).However, these guys will not accomplish any of this. They have a better shot in appearing in the next season of Tool Academy.

In addition to the my enzo bashing...Krystal from Survivor would beat enzo in a comp. Even worse Chet/ or kathy form Survivor fans vs favorites would beat enzo.

Since 3/4 of the brigade only play pool. Does that mean Jessie is smarter because he can play chess?

ok so let me get this straight....they're evicting Britney tomorrow but we won't get to see it until Wednesday?

Can someone give me a run down on this... I was under the impression it was a live show Wednesday night.

Parker is going to be on Are you smarter than a 5th grader? How funny, when?

I wonder why the eviction is happening today and not Wednesday?

So is there still gonna be a live show Thursday?

message on superpass says ...We’re sorry, but CBS is blocking the live feeds from Tuesday until after the Wednesday show....

WTF?

I do because if Britney is getting evicted today and they are starting the endurance today/tonight...I want to see it. Thats what we pay for and God knows this year was a complete rip.

This is so typical...I don't understand why they could not of aired a special live episode for tonight if Julie was hosting tonight anyway. So basically, Britney (99.9% chance) is getting evicted tonight and the 1st Part of HOH starts tonight as well? They will probably air some early footage of the house on Afterdark tonight like they did back in Season 9 when Sharon was evicted and it was Sheila, Adam, and Ryan left in the house. RealPlayer will hopefully screw up for a few seconds and show who is left in the house, but we will not know who won the first part of HOH until after tomorrow night's episode...

While the comment that "who gives a fuck" is totally appropriate, in a season where this part one HoH endurance might matter to us more, blocking of the feeds is totally inappropriate. Endurance challenges are one of THE major incentives to purchasing the live feeds.

Non-live feeders don't seem to get it and think we just buy them to watch people put on make up and cook slop. No, we do it to see additional details about who these people are because you get more engaged in how the game plays out (in a less bland season, of course), you get to see basically unedited fights and campaigning, and you get to see endurance comps (or extended skill comps) live. It's more intense to watch it play out live rather than edited down to a minute or two with cheesy music.

It's just another thumb in the eye to BB fans. The endurance comps we've had didn't even last over an hour, were blocked out for the first twenty minutes after the live eviction anyway so most people had dropped out, and the extended skill ones were basically over by the time they let us watch also. The feeds overall have been awful this year, and other aspects of this season from the casting to the more overt manipulation. Who cares about the dedicated fan base that comes back to this show year after year and spreads the word about it? Apparently no one.

Although it's tempting to say I won't bother subscribing to the feeds next year for the first time and maybe give up the show altogether given how little I really felt drawn in this year (and last) compared to previous years, but each season is a different one so who knows (and there's the addiction factor). The cast makes the show and the feeds make the game, but if they can't do either competently, then what the hell are they thinking?

exactly MB. Take for example last weeks HOH of decorating the Xmas tree. By the time the feeds came back it was all over. Its complete BS. The final endurance has always been one of the high lights of the season. Last year with Jordan, Nat and Kevin on the log, Evel Dick and Zachs ridiculously long endurance. We have always been able to see it play out. Add to that, when has there ever been a HG evicted and we havent known about it the second it happened on the live shows? Its just baffling to me that they would completey destroy the last week of the season.

Your description "edited down to a minute or two with cheesy music" hits the nail right on the head. I just dont get what they are thinking right now.

Lorraine, I can think of a few instances:

When they started the double evictions back in Season 5, but the twist at the time was someone else within 24hrs was going to be evicted. BB Fans never saw the evictions of Marvin (BB5), Jennifer (BB6), and Howie (BB All-Stars) live. They also did not show the eviction of Sharon (BB9) live and the endurance comp with Sheila, Ryan, and Adam in Final 3 Part HOH also did not air live. The producers did finally get it right with doing the BB Fast Forward episodes so everyone would know who was getting evicted, but unfortunately, BB has had a history of pulling the crap they are doing now with the blocking of feeds, and evictions being taped. I was really looking forward to seeing the dumbgade try to compete in an endurance comp over the live feeds hopefully longer than 20 minutes....but once again the BB superfan got screwed.

are you sure that Sharon eviction wasnt live?? I remember her getting evicted and then they started the endurance comp which you are right, was not on the feeds. The reason I thought Sharons eviction was live we because just before the feeds cut away for the live show, I remember Ryan and Adam in the kitchen and Adam was convincing Ryan that keeping Sheila was in their best interest as she would be easy to beat in the final HOH. It was very last minute and then of course they did evict Sharon.

I am pretty sure of the Sharon eviction being taped. And I also remembered that Showtime Afterdark aired footage of the HGs with Sharon still left in the house and message scrolling at the bottom that stated that the HGs were currently competing in an endurance comp, and that they were showing previous events footage from the house. Afterdark watchers will more than likely also be screwed this evening.

The only episode that I know actually warranted the taped treatment. Was the day that Jeff use the Wizard power. We all understood that Hurricane Chima was gonna run nuts. Other than that I am pissed off. We can't complain to Real Player because they don't control the broadcast, but I hope Real gets as aggravated as the fans are at CBS, since they are losing subscribers before the exclusive content is developed.

I know some people are not huge fans of the Superpass hosts, but I am glad that they did lots of programs today since the feeds were down. I am watching to see if they do find out anything from the audience that was able to see the Big Brother show. Although it is pretty much a given that Britney is getting evicted, but maybe someone will be able to describe the HOH comp...

This sucks for you guys. One of the main reason to getting the feeds is to watch endurance. No one wants to watch that edited on the show. Next time I get feeds, Im just going to buy one month; its not worth paying for 3 months anymore.

Britney was evicted from the BB House tonight. Endurance comp is a jungle theme....hanging on vines going through a waterfall....sounds like the HOH comp they had in Season 10 when Dan and Ollie were the last two on the vines.... (Courtesy of BBDish.com and Superpass)
