    Thanks... BUT... my Anti-Virus program told me NOT to Download this program... plus i went to Youtube and <expletive deleted>, it looked like it's Alot of Bull**** to use, lol... thanks anyway ... maybe the other poster will try it out ...☺...

     

    Plenty of other software options that can be used to record BB live feeds.

  2. Don't be afraid of being banned on youtube. They only ban chronic abusers, after repeated warns. BB feeds clips are all over youtube, and are not to be pulled down very fast. I don't think CBS is too concerned unless posting full episodes. Clips posted on youtube promotes the show, so CBS is not looking to shut down fans who are helping increase ratings.

  3. It seems to me that none of the HG's are playing the game the way they did in the first few seasons. Too many of them come on the show not playing to win, but hoping to find a career post-BB. Too many are playing just to make it to the jury house.

    And what is up with some of the HG's being so upset because someone lied to them? This is Big Brother not a Sunday School picnic- lying is part of the game. When you are playing against each other for half a million bucks, everyone else stands between you and that money. You don't have any friends in the house, only competitors.

    In the inimitable words of Nicole from last season, "Stop playing Big Baby and start playing Big Brother!"

     

    It appears to me that the BB producers filter out nearly all wannabe actors\stand-up comic\etc, and rightfully so. Imagine the BBH filled with semi-professional entertainers looking to get their big break, they all would be show casing their individual talents for the cameras, and far less interested in playing the BB game.

     

    For those of us who have watched BB for many years, there there are profile types that get repeatedly selected season after season, or another perspective, there are personality flaws that tend to be in most seasons. And if its not obvious, most all the people who are selected, are selected because they a flawed in such a way that will make for high TV ratings. If not flawed in some obvious way, they are qwerty and popular with the audience..

     

    If BB was serious about casting people who are really good manipulators, the show would be like watching people play chess 24x7. Nobody would say or do anything that would be worth watching, which is why the producers cast typical people we all know in our daily lives. We all know at least a couple flaming gay men, or men\women who must always be in control of everything, or the person who falls love based on almost nothing, or individual who can't handle any type of rejection and go on the war path against anyone who who not 100% on their side, etc.  

  4. Can someone explain to me how the Twin Twist works, specifically what they need to accomplish for both to stay in the game?

     

    I know the basics; I understand they switch places at regular intervals and pretend to be one person. What is puzzling is what they need to do for both to stay in the BBH. At the moment, nearly all the HGs knows they are twins, and the rest are highly suspicious. Seems to me that pretty much means the twins aren't fooling any HG good enough for any of them to guess wrong if they were asked by BB.

  5. My only gripe was expecting more likeable people on the show this year. Little did I know I would dislike them all, seperately but equally.

    Normally the the producers do select 2-3 likable people they hope will make it to the end and win. Maybe they were thinking\hoping that Ellisa would be one of them. Possibly also helen.

    My casting theory is the same one I have for Survivor (other shows likely use variation of it). The producers cast the show with about 4 people they feel have all the winning skils and personality to win, and those HGs are likable enough that the majority of the TV audience will be happy when one of them wins. This season I do believe Andy was selected by the producers as a potential winner. He clearly had all the skills needed to get to the end, and did so with rather easily. The producer probably also gear the competitions (near the end) to favor the HGs who is most popular with the TV audience. This is a reality TV show, but the producers are not required to follow a set of eithical rules which require them be 100% far 100% of the time. Like all shows, its always about TV ratings, so they stack the deck to maximize ratings. Loosing popular HGs too early or completely means they could see a signigicant drop is ratings if the most popular and entertaining HGs are evicted.

  6. I think that conclusion is limited in scope. Ratings suggests that of those who watch the news channels (and TV in general), Fox gets higher ratings. Its not reflective of what the majority of people think\feel on the issues. Fox News targets social conservatives (ie anti-gay, right-to-life, middle america white Christian families, those who watch Pat Robinson and listen to Rush Limbaugh), but just because Fox News has higher rating does not necessarily suggest Fox reflect major of what American's feel on the issues. Fox News reflects what their audience wants to see\hear, just like CNN, and MSNBC do as well; those two networks split the progressive perspective, so its logical that Fox would get higher ratings because CNN and MSNBC are fighting for the same (larger) demographic.....And to the great fear of Fox News, it wouldn't surprise me if MSNBC and CNN merge into one network at some point.

  7. Seriously? You could not be more wrong.

    Fox News is only balanced from their perspective, which is very much homophobic and moralistic. Their core audience is anti-gay and would love to turn back to clock to the 50s (when gays stayed in the closest) or earlier because its generally perceive that humanity is not getting more enlightened\wiser\tolerant\forgiving\etc, but more corrupt and evil with each passing day.

  8. I'll try to be fair and balanced about this, like Fox News would cover it.

    LOL... Yeah right. Fox news would be saying the producers are a bunch anti-christian liberals (probably flaming gays) promoting immorality (gay rights, unmarried sex, etc) and ridged the show so morally corrupt gay man wins 500K. :figment:

  9. I stated it in another thread, typically at the end of each season, the jury either votes for the HG who played the most honest and cleanest game, or they vote for the player who played the most cut-throat\ruthless game.... This season they voted for most ruthless player, Andy had a hand in evicting each of the jury members, and they did not hold it against him.

  10. i doubt it but you maybe right

    :animated_bouncy:

    judd is a dudd messed up my 8-1 predictions

    howard top three i didnt see that coming i thought it would be jessie or candice :animated_bouncy:

    Yep, that I thought Judd would vote for Andy too.I got all the others right.

    I wasn't too sure it was a smart move to take GM, but clearly it worked out. Spencer wouldn't have faired any better though, maybe get a vote from Judd...lol :)

  11. I truly hate to say it, but if I were on the jury Andy probably would get my vote as the person who played the best game.

    It just hard to know how the jury will vote, some seasons the Jury votes for the HG played the best game without getting their hands too dirty (ie GM and spencer), other seasons they vote for the HG who was ruthless and back stabbed everyone on the jury \(Andy).

    Overall, I think Andy played the best over game because he had a hand in voting out nearly everyone on the jury. He never was a floater who let others do all the hard work..... Other than that, I can't stand listening\watching the guy; just can't ignore he played an almost perfect game making sure his biggest threats were out of the game. If he made a mistake, it was keeping GM around, rather than McCrae or Amanda, but even then, they might have gotten rid of him if he kept one of those two. Andy always knew GM was a honest upfront player, and would have had a hard time lying to him.

    IF he wins the final HoH, picks Spencer, he wins BB15. If up against GM, it could go either way.

  12. On the feeds right now he's gloating about how he back stabled so many people..... It really hard to identy why he is so unlikable, he is just one of those people we meet in life that is just so damn annoying. Its like watching an old rerun of Lost In Space, and in every episode I want one of the Robinsons to get fed up with Dr Smith and throw him into the f'ing air lock, press the big red button marked EJECT, jetsoning him into space, but the Robinsons are all morons and simply do nothing to save themselves week after week for three years. Same is true with Andy and HGs each week. instead of evicting Andy, they all more-or-less, shoot themselves in the foot and get themselves evicted.one by one.

    I hope this guy can't make it to the final 2, and if he wins BB15, good chance he'll go down in BB history as the least favorite BB winner of all time. Seriously, does anyone really like watching him?

  13. I don't want him to win, but he has done a fine good job of BS'ing the HGs. Its almost seems more about the HGs gullibility and need to have their ego's stroked than its about his ability to play a great game. Many past players of BB would have caught onto him during the first couple of weeks of BB, and never trusted him. This year the other HGs seem easily snowed by his BS.

    Andy: "Once this is over, people will be saying you're one of the greatest HGs ever in the history of BB. You have played an AMAZING game, I feel so lucky to be in here with you."

    Seriously, Its mind blogging the HGs believe this crap!
