  1. Maybe you should ask for your money back?
  2. Yeah I don't know what they do to keep the HGs from singing, talking about production, etc. but these Canadians seem much better about following the rules making the feeds much more pleasant. Plus when they are down it's just wonderful sweet silence rather than that godawful maddening music playing over and over. The problem is no flashback. I live for flashback! I would NEVER pay for feeds without flashback and don't see why anyone else would either.
  3. I think the show has been pretty good so far considering it's a first season. The cast of characters is pretty good with nice diversity and lots of strategizing. Most of the people are of course shallow and self-absorbed but no worse than BBUSA. And trust me if they just filled the house with a bunch of down to earth, sweet, polite people you would be bored to tears and wouldn't make it through one episode. The grand prize is pretty disappointing. That house looks more expensive than the BBUSA house yet they can't come up with more than 1/5 of the USA prize? I always thought the bigger the prize, the higher the stakes, the more drama there is, the better the ratings will be. 100k and a couple extra fluff prizes is pretty lame...
  4. This guy seems like a very good player. Even this early he seems to have a lot of power yet he is the only person in the house who hasn't been mentioned as being a target, at least not that I've noticed. I smell a diabolical super genius!
  5. Yeah, they will probably start charging next season. It's just like drugs, they give ya a taste and then you're hooked for life.
  6. Morty- Awesome, so glad Quirky Dude is going to do that for us! Thanks for the info! Will definitely watch the show even if I decide not to try and buy the software to get access to the feeds!
  7. Thank you, this is good news, although for me the decision whether to pay for the "free" feeds in this way depends on whether they will have flashback or not. As flashback functionality probably isn't cheap, I'm skeptical that free feeds will offer it and I can't justify paying for feeds when the best stuff is unlikely to happen during the short periods of time I have to watch and there is no way to rewind. If no one knows whether this will be available or not I guess we'll know soon enough.
  8. Thanks Morty! Bummer about it being on at the same time as Survivor, my other favorite show, but I'm guessing/hoping there will be replays available on YouTube. I think I heard that the live feeds are free but do you know if they will also have flashback? That's pretty much a mandatory feature for any serious BB fan!
  9. I don't know the answer to this but I sure hope so. It seems silly to limit the audience to a population less than one-tenth as big as the U.S. when there are so many BB fans here eager for a show to fill the gap between summers.
  10. I don't like the idea of anyone with a vote being able to watch the episodes. The DR sessions are where HGs can entertain us with their private thoughts and trash talking and no one with a future vote has any business being influenced by that. We learned this lesson in BB3. You can't really stop people from being bitter but I do think that jury members should be sequestered seperately. I don't like that jury members can influence each other and even lie or exaggerate about the HGs still in the game to get the jury to vote a certain way. Having person after person come to the jury house and rant and rave about what a horrible person Dan is did not help his case. If these people were left alone to make up their own minds and not allowed to hear how everyone else is voting, they wouldn't be able to jump aboard the hate train and their vote wouldn't be the result of peer pressure.
  11. Many details are still unknown. It will be on a Canadian channel called Slice Network and begins in either January of February last I heard. It is supposed to have live feeds just like the US. The problem will be, it might not be airing in the US at all so I'm really hoping there will be a website you can watch the episodes at, whether an official or unofficial one like videobrother.com. It will be Canada's first season.
  12. It's been another fun season with you all! I'm just glad I don't have to wait 10 months anymore with BB Canada coming up in a few months. Here's hoping it's as good as the US version and that I see most of you again in January!
  13. Dan played an absolutely perfect game for 2nd place. Unfortunately, you can't afford to backstab the whole jury. You can only afford to backstab a couple of them at most or else make sure you're sitting next to someone who is hated more than you or has no respect. Ian was a horrible person to sit next to.
  14. Just because the majority of people on this message board dislike Frank doesn't mean the AC is rigged. This message board represents a tiny population in comparison to the population that watches the show. The majority of people here spend lots of time watching the feeds (or at least reading them) and get intimately familiar with the HGs, which I think causes people get hypersensitive to certain annoying habits just like they would a spouse. The vast majority of viewers just watch the show, which is basically highlights of HGs at their best and these annoying habits aren't apparent unless they do a specific segment about them. Frank was a loud, cocky, sometimes obnoxious guy and I can see him rubbing a lot of people the wrong way and understand some of the distaste for him. But he got a good edit, was a big underdog and was at the center of most of the drama for most of the season so people really got to like him. I liked him and voted for him too. I can overlook his annoying qualities for the fact that I think he put more effort into the game than anybody else, including Dan, at least in the first half of the season. He lived on the block and saved himself so many times that it was really fun to watch him try to survive week after week. He played very honest and got backstabbed more than anyone else in the game so I'm sure he got some sympathy for that too. Behind Dan, Frank was the most entertaining player this season IMO and I'm glad he won it since Dan didn't.
  15. Yeah I hate the part 3 HOH because it is mostly random luck. How the heck are the HGs supposed to know what jury people said in some interview or whether BB is trying to trick them by making the wrong answer something that sounds in character for them while the right answer is something out of character? It's just so stupid that they haven't come up with something better. Why not just flip a coin then and save more time for jury questions? That's why I also think it is laughable that Danielle is going along with Dan's plan to try to make Ian throw the competition when it can't be thrown.
  16. Sunday, September 16, 9:08 pm, Feed 1 & 2- Danielle unleashes her frustrations on Ian, calling out his alliance with Dan and threatening to turn the jury against him.
  17. Ashley- Ian (Will probably vote with Frank) Britney- Ian (Britney proved in BB12 she votes personal) Frank- Ian (Seems really bitter at Dan) Joe- Wild card (Joe doesn't care for either of them and dislikes Dan more but may have to throw him a vote for his gameplay) Jenn- Dan (Interviews after her eviction indicate Dan has her vote) Shane- Ian (Shane has had the least amount of time to cool off and I'm not sure Dani can convince him to vote for Dan) Danielle- Dan (Even if Dan won HOH and screwed her I still think she would vote for him because they have been through so much together and she hates Ian with a passion) Dan better have a hell of a speech if he expects to beat Ian!
  18. Saturday, September 15, 9:05 pm, All Feeds- After a boring couple days, the drama is back after the 2nd HOH comp as Dan and Danielle stage a fight to trick Ian into throwing the final HOH.
  19. Yeah I bet AG's dream scenario would be for Dan to win the final HOH and evict Dani but since Dan isn't likely to do that, the second best scenario would be for Ian to win HOH and take Dan. I wouldn't be surprised to see a part 2 comp tailored to Ian and for both Ian and Dan to get lots of encouragement from the DR to take each other to F2.
  20. Are you saying you think that BB wants Dan gone before F2? Logically I would think telling Ian that Dan is hated would give him more incentive to take Dan to F2, not less, although Ian often doesn't seem to make logical decisions so he might just want to get out the ultimate villian for the viewers or something. In any case, I have a hard time believing BB wants an Ian/Dani F2 rather than the ultimate battle of good and evil that would be an Ian/Dan F2. Although it would be poetic justice for Ian to turn on Dan, it sure would be a shame to see Dan go out that way...
  21. That's not a bad theory but she has been crying her eyes out. Could she be that upset about something she wanted to happen?
  22. Yeah Janelle could easily snatch this up despite having almost zero impact on the season, which is pretty unfair. She could probably be inserted into the vote in a season she didn't even play in and win with her following. Ian probably has a decent shot at it though because he has had such a great edit this season. I can see live feeders not caring for him but I can't see anyone that just watches on TV not liking him.
  23. I hate the Sunday flashback show! In my opinion there is only 1 episode of BB left.
