The Big Brother 9 Feeds are Live

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a test pattern! Hehe. It's not much to look at, but it's definitely progress in the right direction. ;) The Big Brother 9 feeds are officially live, complete with a soundtrack provided by Sirius Satellite radio tuned to Classical 86... as of this posting.



We'll keep an eye out for any changes... be they flames, papa smurf's never ending colonoscopy, fishies, or something new. Any suggestions?

  2. Ack! Can you believe that green box has the nerve to sit on that black background like that!? What does it think it is?! And that font!

    So pretentious! I can't wait to see how that blue swatch on the side reacts to this. Damn floaters!

    Don't worry Zany - XM or Sirius - hopefully soon it will all be the same!

  9. beth in md - thanks :)
    just so there's no confusion, there's no mention of a plan to put bb on sirius... it's just the soundtrack on the test pattern...

    SIRI - go long! :)

  10. I might need to get me some Sirius! Ha ha ha.

    I hope you like that picture because I have a feeling we'll see a lot of it!... My suggestion woul be for that video of a burning fireplace... since it's winter. Although, I know it's not cold in LA... Or Florida!

    As a reminder to this past season's winner, maybe they could come up with something...

    Some kind of sound that Dick could make...

    And play over and over and over...

    I'm debating on trying the live feeds again or just being lazy and watching the clips on you tube after someone else has sat through the houseguests sleeping. lol

    Any idea when the CBS website will be up and we can see the chosen ones?

    just a friendly note... i am going on a little break... no computer. i'm closing up the notebook and putting it in a drawer. I will be back for BB9 though. :)

  19. Hi Carolyn! I'd like to see a live hamster in its cage doing whatever it does, but with a wheel that it can run on. How cute would that be, something different every time we get HOTH (Hamster on the house)! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  20. If we have to choose something we have already had, I vote for BB to bring the fish back. As much as everyone complained about them, I thought they were MUCH better than discovering what the inside of a Smurf looks like! The old saying that 'you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone' comes to mind when I think how I'd like to have the fish back... LOL!
    Otherwise, I agree with you, beth&eric. A fire in a fireplace with the crackling sounds and all would be nice. Yes, California and Florida may be warm, but the rest of us are freezing and it would feel really cozy watching it and hearing the crackling...

  21. hi seffie :) - we don't have to pick something we've already had... new ideas are always welcome. (either way, it's terrific to see you)

    imogen - enjoy yourself. :)

    punkee - cute idea... :) but i shudder to think of the horrible things people would suggest doing to the hamster when the feeds cut out too long. ;)

    lol cliff!

    my top 3 choices would be...
    1. dancing monkies!
    2. a video montage of people tripping/falling
    3. a nice, tropical beach (with hot men tanning would be a bonus)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Thanks, Carolyn. It's great 'seeing' you, too! I truly thought for a while that I wasn't ready for BB again so early, but this blog is getting me in the mood for it fast! LOL!
    And the hamsters... Goodness! I hadn't even thought about horrible things that might be suggested during moments of impatience! Hamster abuse alert!...
    Sarahd, your suggestion for videos watching people falling is too funny, but I would wait up my husband laughing late at night and that would NOT be funny! :)
    BTW - Does anyone have an itinerary of the BB season? I don't want to order Realplayer too early. I like paying for the three month package...

  24. Seffie - I'm expecting to get word on & links for the Early Bird Special for the feeds any day now... 3 months at a discounted rate...

    OMG... Carolyn, so when did you buy your SIRIUS stocks? I got mine Dec/06 waiting for a merge with XM. Along with Starbucks it has taken me down a slope ever since... but I am opimistic and expect a brighter future.

    Maybe after BB 14 I can collect those earnings. ;-)

  26. tella - i've a lucky girl... i got mine several years ago... at .80/share. :) keep the faith!

  27. have a question...

    If I use your link to the feeds to sign up do you get credits or something. I'd like to help out if that's the case. LOL

    Cliff is kinda cute isn't he...and funny... (not hitting on Cliff or anything...married and happy but just saying LOL)

    I'm still pretty new to this site just found you last year. I really enjoyed reading what everyone had to say. This is a fun, funny group and I am so proud to call this my BB gossip/discussion home. Can't wait to see what we all think for this one.

    I'm Ann by the way...but just call me reporterx or X...I'll be around if you'll have me.

    Anyone who wants to can click my name to see more info about me and a link to my myspace...add me as friend if like..(warning I'm mean LOL...j/k)

    PS: is there a way to subscribe to this blog and get an email about updates??

    ReplyDelete
  28. ReporterX/Ann :)

    Yeah, when you sign up for the live feeds here, it definitely helps!

    Also, there are a couple of ways to sign up for the RSS feeds of the site, so each time I post, it'll come to your inbox... unless I'm updating something that's already been posted - i don't think it works for that.

    I have a question about getting the feeds. Does the type of internet connection you have affect the feeds? I am only on dial-up and I have no way of getting DSL because they won't bring it to my town. Can you still enjoy the feeds with dial-up? Any advice would help. Thanks.

  30. Hi Lindsay :)

    Dial up is available. I used it the first season I watched and it was fine! :) Fortunately, you get a 2 week free trial period, so you can check it out first hand. Just click any of the 2 week free trial links here on the blog. :)
