This forum is for reporting what is happening on the Live Feeds only.
All discussion of happenings in the house should be directed to the Big Brother 25 Discussion Forum
The HOW-TO guide for Live Feed Updaters.
Please remember, these are just guidelines.
We don't want to cramp your individual styles, but it helps the people reading your updates if everyone tries to follow a few basics.
Try to include as many of the 5 W's as possible!
Who?
Ex. Joshuah / Josh
If Josh is speaking to Sharon, and they are the only ones in the conversation, you can just use the initials "J" and "S" after the first time. (But it wouldn't make sense to use "J" if Jacob, Joshuah, Jen and James were all present.)
IMPORTANT: Please use the houseguests' real names (or agreed-upon abbreviated forms). Do NOT use nicknames from the message board which can carry connotations, such as "JanTran" instead of Janelle, for example.
What?
Ex. Alex and Neil are playing chess.
(Sometimes what they're doing is not as important as what they're saying.)
When?
Ex. 6:30PM BBT
(Please use the time it is in the Big Brother house, not your own local time. It is very important that you add AM or PM, )
Where?
Ex. Kitchen, Backyard, Bedroom
(We may have a few standard abbreviations for some rooms.)
Why?
Only include this one if it is obvious from the action you have seen. Try not to make guesses or judgments as to the motives behind behavior otherwise. Leave that for the discussion forum.
Ex. 1 Jen goes to tell James that Alex is voting for him because she overheard Alex and Neil talking about it. (This is fine.)
Ex. 2 Jen goes to tell James that Alex is voting for him because she wants him to be anxious about the vote. (This is more speculative.)
Personal comments within Live Feed Updates
Morty and the whole MortysTV team greatly appreciate the fact that live feed updaters want to be of service and that they can't provide as high a quality of that service if they are forced to pause their updating to go post their opinion in the discussion section every time they wish to share, or instead be forced to keep it to themselves.
So Morty has given his blessing for live feed updaters to include some personal comments. (*I always loved Morty's personal comments, back when he was updating alone.*) Including a personal observation here and there is well and good, but judgmental comments within the Live feed Updates that will unduly influence the ones reading them are to be avoided.
All we ask is that updaters who are including personal comments use brackets to make it clear that the comment is their own. [ This is an example ~Jedi]
We also understand how it's not always easy to keep gut reactions out of it, especially when you are watching these people day in and day out on the live feeds. Sooner or later you can't help forming some opinions about liking some and hating others.
Sometimes, overboard comments can produce such a reaction in the readers of those updates that posts get reported to the moderators for no other reason than that they feel the updater is personally picking on their favorite houseguest(s).
Since the Live Feed Updates forum is NOT the discussion forum, it might help if things weren't too inflammatory. Therefore, let's try to keep personal comments to more of a neutral vein, and less extreme.
If you really feel strongly about a houseguest or something they have done, you should probably share your comments about it in the Morty's TV Big Brother 25 Discussion Forum.
Suggestions for some common Live Feed Update practices and posting standards are welcome as replies to this thread and can be discussed here.
Moxie: This tip may help others who do LFU. I keep a clock next to my monitor with the BBT on it. Since I live in the east, it helps me to know the exact time to start my posts so there's no confusion. It's amazing what a difference it makes for you if you don't live in that time zone.
Jem: The most important thing to remember here is:
We don't care about typos, spelling or grammar (If you read the BB main page, it's evident that isn't a stipulation :-). We love all Live Feed Updaters , whether they post daily or just occasionally!
Live Feed Updating should be fun not a chore.

The feeds stayed off until 11:52PM. When they returned, we quickly learned that Turner had won the first part of the three-part HoH competition. Turner will go on to compete on finale night, live, against the winner of the second part.

About the Live Feed Forum
in Big Brother 25 - Live Feed Updates
Posted
This forum is for posting screenshots and updates based on the events and conversations that watch on the Big Brother 25 live feeds. Please do not post personal comments along with your life feed updates. Personal observations and opinions should be posted to the Morty's TV Big Brother 25 Discussion Forum.
If you forget which forum you're in and post here by mistake, don't worry your post will be moved or deleted without prejudice. We all goof up at times.
You cannot start new threads in this forum. A new thread will be created automatically for each day in the Big Brother house. Please post into the next day's thread starting at 12AM (midnight) BBT.
Please include time stamps for your updates in the form HH:MM AM/PM BBT (all times should be in BBT or Pacific Time). Please break up long updates with time stamps to help readers (and Morty) to follow when things occurred. At the very least, please include a time stamp once an hour.
By posting Live Feed Updates, you grant Morty's TV permission to use your content (in part or in full) on the Morty's TV website without credit. Morty will try to list contributors at the end of each day’s report. Your input is vital to our success, and we really do appreciate your help.
How you can Help.
Someone else is posting, should I?
YES! The more verification we have the better and everyone sees something someone else never noticed.
I'm a what?
A Roving Reporter has no hours ... they post whenever they can ... and that's why everyone is a roving Reporter!
We need everyone!
The update page is only updated when Morty feels like it (no less than three times a day)... BUT the Live Feed Forum and Pictures Forum is always connected to the BB Page, and people will be looking for by-the-minute reports... every single post counts, even when you say "there is nothing to see".
Yes we are informal around here and invite everyone to post WHAT THEY SEE AND HEAR from the feeds! Please try to keep your feelings and observations out of the posts, however. Roving reporters should be unbiased. Are you feeling the love yet?
