And you missed all the shit that led up to it, plus the fact that all of them barricaded themselves in the HOH like the nerd herd. They were all talking shit about Dick but not one of them went down to say anything to them. It was hilarious. There's so much you miss if you don't have the feeds. I loved Dick last year, but you really couldn't get the same sense of what a true asshole he was last season if you didn't have the feeds. In my opinion, they're well worth the money you pay. Even if you only watch them occasionally.

Its cheeper. I only saw SuperPass subscriptions for 3 mos. or per month. Do they have a yearly subscription? If so, then: smacks forehead

I ended up signing up for the monthly one just in case it only lasts 6 weeks. If it does run for the full 3 months, then I'm only out an extra 5 bucks, so who cares? If it only goes for 6 weeks, then I've got the 14 free days and only one $15 charge for the last month. That's a savings of $25 if they cut the season short.

Luring you to purchase their product with the promise of one thing, then after you've given them your money, they switch it up and say, "Eh... slight change of plans." It might only be a $10.00 loss, but that ten bucks adds up for CBS/SuperPass to make a decent profit. Certainly enough profit to allow the show to run longer than 6 - 7 weeks. The only problem is that neither CBS nor Real have said how long the season will last. They aren't promising anything except for the ability to view the live feeds via RealPass. People are perceiving some kind of promise which simply doesn't exist. If I'm not mistaken, in the original press release announcing the show's return, they said that it would be a regular length season. I could be wrong though, LoL. Wouldnt be the first time. I cant find the press release anymore. I am looking at the press release announcing the return of BBAD though, and it says, "At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize." There have been alot of mixed reports. Even the official site at CBS says that they'll be in the house for thee months, but it also says that they'll be voted out one by one and we all know that isn't happening.

Well, we don't really know that either. Some say they they will be evicted as pairs, others have said they may be....or might be. And nobody has said that the pair would be winning it together.

Luckily, I turned on the feeds just in time to catch the entire tirade last year. It actually lasted almost an hour before it went to FOTH. Maybe 40% of it is on YouTube, but only the live feed viewers got to see the whole thing. It was worth the 3 month subscription all by itself.

I guess they're not wasting any time this year. Don't they usually give the hamsters a week or so in the house before the game really gets going? It sucks that this means there's going to be two people that we only get to see on the feeds for one night before they get evicted.

Posts: 1794 (02/11/08 11:54 AM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Yeah but don't they usually give them about a week or so before nominations and whatnot start to happen? I don't think we've ever had an eviction this early. I seem to recall them having more time in the house before the game started during BB8. If memory serves, when the feeds first came on after the BB8 premiere, only nominations had taken place so far, no veto or anything yet. Like I said, it just sucks that there's going to be two people we only get to see on the feeds for a few hours, considering that the feeds usually kick on at midnight after the premiere, and that we'll probably have lots of feed blackouts during the day on the 12th while they walk the hamsters through their first live show rehearsal.

Is it possible that, when our feeds go live after Tuesday's show we'll find only 14 HGs in residence? Maybe that explains the reduced number of pictures on the memory wall.

Who cares about the first show and waiting for that to play before they go live. In a show that relies on live feeds to make the show more interesting than every other "14 people living in a house, and evicting people weekly" show, this first week is important to watch.
