Here's what they had to say about Housecalls:
- HOUSE CALLS: THE BIG BROTHER TALK SHOW, the no-charge, half-hour, live streaming video and on-demand talk show, returns for its fifth season with broadcasts every Monday through Friday (1:00 PM/ET, 10:00 AM/PT) on CBS.com.
HOUSE CALLS will be hosted by radio personality Gretchen Massey along with new co-host BIG BROTHER 8 winner "Evel" Dick Donato. Massey will interact with viewers through phone calls and e-mails, discuss events that transpire in the Big Brother house, offer prognostications, analyze strategies and interview former "Big Brother" Houseguests as well as current Houseguests following their eviction.
Dick's blog mentions that he "came to an agreement with CBS.com to Co-Host Housecalls this season on Wed. & Thurs., which means that in addition to Gretchen doing exit interviews, yes.... I will be grilling them on their way out the door."
He's also talking to Showtime about "basically hosting BBAD." We shall see.
And here's the official word from the folks at CBS about the feeds:
- The webcast coverage debuts immediately following the Feb. 12 premiere of BIG BROTHER...
The entire three-month live 24/7 Internet feed of BIG BROTHER: 'TIL DEATH DO YOU PART will be available through SuperPass. Subscribers to the 24/7 video stream can watch any one of four live camera feeds from inside the Big Brother house or catch all of the action at once with the special quad-cam view which allows fans to see four different video feeds simultaneously.
Subscribers will also have access to an exclusive, subscribers-only Web chat that will allow fans from across the country to converse about what they see live on the feeds. Fans will be able to interact with one another and stay engaged with the show through Big Brother-focused blogs, chat rooms, message boards, weekly polls and other new interactive features.
Once you've signed up for the feeds, using either the Monthly or the Quarterly option, both of which include 2 weeks free, you'll be able to launch the feeds right here from the blog!
We added a "Launch the Feeds" box to the sidebar yesterday, with the incredible assistance of ReporterX, and it gives you the option of low or high speed, as well as all the possible angles. Again, this only works if you've already signed up.
Speaking of new additions, we also created a streaming bb9dish widget to the sidebar. If you click at the bottom of it where it says "Get Widget," you'll be given the option to add it to your myspace, desktop, facebook and a bunch of other places. Best of all, the widget will tell you when there's a new post on the blog! :)
There will be more spiffy new additions to the blog happening within the next 24 hours. We're very excited for the season to begin! Can ya tell???

It will be intresting to hear colour commentart bt ED. I hope his language is on a short leash though! (IMHO)
You sure have been a busy dishchick! Thanks for all the exciting information!
It would be too annoying for me to see ED hosting House Calls and BBAD! Yuck!

All of this sounds spiffy, BUT........Please, if anybody in control is listening.....NO MORE GRETCHEN MASSEY!
She has the personality of a paper plate, and gets more and more annoying as time goes by.
I have nothing against her personally, but she kind of brings the quality of "House Calls" down to almost a "Wayne's World" mentality.
Yaknowwhatimean?
Thanks for your hard work in keeping us all up to date, Carolyn!
.........genius.
I had already signed up for the feeds before they offered the 3 month option. I'm still in my free two weeks. Do you think I be able to take advantage of the 3 month deal when my two weeks is over?
Dr. Detroit -- I thought I was the only one who felt that way... ;)
It's going to be a LONG 4 days waiting for BB on CBS from Wednesday til Sunday (instead of Thursday to Sunday)...
(I guess that's just one more reason to get the feeds though, huh?!)
angie - i don't know the answer to that, but i'll try to find out for ya. :)
ED hosting housecalls!?! I'm not sure how I feel about that one...
Amen Dr. Detroit!
I'll take Gretchen over Dick anyday...
That doesn't say much, but that's that...
How sad...
I agree. Gretchen makes me crazy!
But here's my first impression when I read that Dick would co-host with Gretchen:
"But I thought Gretchen H-A-T-E-D Evel Dick!?!?!"
I wonder how THAT'S gonna work??
There better not be an eviction on Wed. It's bad enough that we don't see literally 5 days of action, but to have a eviction on the 2nd show is crazy.
But, like all other years, I'm 90% sure they won't have one.
I'm a fan of Gretchen, but anybody would be an upgrade over Bunky last year.

sage - nothin there :(
sage... thanks for the heads up.
i just hopped on the feeds and capped it.
unfortunately, when you post long links in blogger comments, the end of em gets eaten by the blogger beastie.
The one good thing I see about ED co-hosting HC is he knows his stuff.I am so glad they finally get someone who really watches the show.I just hope he can have fun and not be too opinionated...haha ya right!!!!
I hope Gretchen is having a better winter than summer.She did loose her father around BB time and you could tell her heart was somewere else.Bst of luck to them all!!
Dick hosting house calls should be very entertaining...he always speaks his mind! I wonder if an other BB8 HG's will be around this season.
You don't have to post this one...
I just wanted to let you know that I have your widget on my mypscae page...www.myspace.com/thezanyone
Very cool thing, thanks for doing that.
