The DishChicks are back and ready to blog Big Brother 9!! At bb9dish, we cover the Big Brother Live Feeds, so much of what we write could be considered a spoiler for those who only watch the broadcast on CBS. Now, we don't understand why anyone would choose to do that, since it's like forming an opinion based on 1/10,000th of the information, and they could at least try the feeds for free, but what do we know?! Check bb9dish often for Updates, videos, pics, chops, opinions, etc. xoxo, C-n-C
Big Brother 9 is On! Let the mind games begin!!

Midnight Jury Q-n-A Session
It's tonight, kids! Ryan and Adam are stressing out about it as we speak.
Shortly before 8pm, the feeds went to trivia, and when they came back on the boys were saying. "Midnight huh? We have to answer 7 questions each... and give a speech..." Apart from this, neither of them seem to have a clue how the Jury QnA works... hehe.
Midnight BBT... We'll be here & waiting for the feeds to come back! Hopefully even seeing some of the jury before they cut away... Hope to see you!
I thought I should post this in here too. Changes I want to see made to Big Brother because now I really do believe the producers manipulate to get an outcome they want or just manipulate period.
I also wanted to add, I watched some youtube of Adam convincing Ryan to let him vote Sharon out because the next endurance comp is this (he proceeds to name and describe word for word of the endurance competition, doing examples and everything). that sealed the deal that the DR cheats for me.
So, changes I made to prove to audience nothing is rigged:
1) Live-Feed viewers have a PERMANENT access to the Diary Room with ONE FEED. Add a feed if you need to... I say this because, "If you have nothing to hide, then why is the Diary Room hidden?"
2) We live-feed viewers get to watch every competition... live. No feed cuts... I understand legal feed cuts such as singing to talking about someone not on the show. We should be able to watch the POV competitions and HOh competitions live, all of them. Even as the new rules are being explained. Why hide rules form viewers unless you plan on only revealing those rules in order for certain houseguests to benefit?
3) During HOH competitions, as the QUESTION is being ASKED we already have the ANSWERS on our TV SCREENS. (Especially after that Guinea Pig question!) And no more guessing game HOhs or crapshoots!
4) Get back to the OLD competitions where it dealt with house issues. lets review the last few HOHs: "Guess what houseguest said in the Diary Room." then "Guess what AMERICA things based on OUR editing." "Guess the number." "Guess whats fact or fiction based on no knowledge." I miss the old HOh competitions where it required true mental ability... not a gambling game. If you want to make it a guessing game, let's just roll a dice to see who wins. That actually might be fun and make this game a more SOCIAL game.
5) No more crude behavior. We want intelligent housegeusts... this does not mean crazy, sex craved, insane, sluts, dumbass houseguests. This means houseguests whom vary in age and intelligence. We like dominating competition houseguests (Jedi Jani), Dr Will manipulating houseguests.
I've got to agree on a lot of that - I do believe that they can manipulate the show as required. The guinea pigs question was the perfect example. It would have been really easy to change the answer to false if Ryan and Sharon had both said false, and then just add another question or two that was also a 'twistable' answer. Why couldn't there be someone in some room that was waiting on a button to pop up "(the guinea pigs)" onto the screen at just that moment? Maybe that was why there was a long pause - switching the questions up right then and there.
Pyke ~ I shall say Amen to all that! Did Adam really convince the upcoming HoH comp word for word...seriously? If that's true, then that is just excessive! Let's hope for some changes this upcoming season, seriously.
After watching the video "How Does This Work" with Ryan digging for gold then calmly putting his hands back together before wiping his found gold on the pillow was enough to remind me why my live feeds haven't been on for awhile.
I did catch most of the Janelle and Dick chat, but I promptly switched it to 4 asap and as soon as it was over closed Real.
Those boys!
Pyke, I couldn't agree with you more and according to Evel Dick during the live chat he said he heard from Allison G herself that BB10 will be an older, more diverse cast. Hopefully that means more intelligent realistic people with some decent manners. One can only hope!
pyke, I believe they do a run-through with the HG's sometime during the afternoon not long before the competition. Therefore, when it was minutes before the feeds went to trivia before showtime, that's why Adam knew what the competition was to use for argument to evict Sharon. Haven't you ever wondered why the HG's always seemed to know what to do so quickly without question? That's why!
Maybe BB should start saying "Adam/Ryan please use a tissue", when they start digging. Is this how these guys act when they are in the real world... if so, I can't understand why a friend or family member wouldn't have clued them in to how gross their actions are to watch. I also agree with Pyke's comment. Great job Caroline, I just recently found the Dish & can't imagine being satisfied with just the edited tv show edition any more.
I cancelled my feeds but they stay on for another week, at 12:00bb time it is 3:00am my time so I will be snoozing away lol. I don't want to see these two lugs anyway but its nice to know they are stressing and don't have a clue. Ha ha Ryan what goes around comes around and I hope some of them have a few choice words for him especially Sheila.
Oh! And I heard Dick say during his and Janelle's chat that the cast for BB10 will be more like it was in the beginning. I guess that means they are getting away form college aged brats. Thank goodness!!!! Dick was also under the impression that it meant the twists were gone or at least fewer. Again, thank goodness!!! I personally believe the BB producers are heartless to have asked such a bogus question for the final three HOH. It was way too important an HOH comp to pull that stunt. Maybe they could do it in the beginning of the game, but not where it made a HUGE difference! They literally cost Sharon the HOH and possibly final two or even the win. That's WRONG! Guess I'm done ranting, too...
pyke - just some thoughts for ya, why is there some concept that this is supposed to be open, unproduced, unmanipulated TV? Let's put aside the reality of BB for a minute and just think about what we would be watching 99% of the time. Look around at home and at work. Do you want to watch that 24/7 on TV? I think it was the first season, I remember them just literally sitting around for hours on end. I kind of enjoyed watching the slow progression into insanity, but it was subtle - it was a petri dish for arm chair shrinks, not entertainment.
OK, now let's add into the mix that this is not real life, it is reality TV, with the emphasis on TV. It's a money making operation, period. This is the entertainment industry, it is a business, pure and simple.
Of course things are manipulated, from the moment of concept to the lights go dark. Over the years the producers learn what works and what doesn't and they try their best produce the show that people like the best i.e makes the most money. As soon as we rebel (stop watching) they will stop making it. That's reality TV!
I'm not sure I understand on any level why we are entitled to have open diary rooms, different comps, whatever. They produce a show, you pay to watch, if you don't like what you see, stop paying and don't watch.
Suggestions to the producers is one thing, but I don't get the whole conspiracy theory concept and that there is some big lie going on. It is by definition a conspiracy, though it’s not a lie, the producers decide they didn't want us to watch based on what they think we will enjoy the most and make the most money. That's it.
We are never going to get access to the diary room, we are never going to find out what happens in production. One thing you can be pretty certain about, most changes have helped rattings, and those that don't will not happen again. So if sex and crude behavior boost rating, we are getting more. If not, we'll get less. But this is a corporate machine and has nothing to do with reality. Frankly, I have enough reality in my life, I want entertainment. Personally, I'd live more behind the scenes stuff, but only if it's entertaining, and probably, it's not.
Logged onto Real and watched the feeds for awhile.
Nothing's changed. Still nose picking, crotch scratching, nail biting, hocking loogies and jonsing for cigarettes. Jonsing so bad they began looking everywhere they've looked before and then some. Ryan found a sea shell, but they determined they couldn't smoke it.
They're contemplating the up coming jury questions, but all the while dissing the evicted HG's at the same time.
My official term for this season is going to stick in my head forever... Those boys!
I'm with Janelle... it's time for a woman to win this game again.
Enough with the show-mances and bro-mances!
Got my coffee ready and I'm going to give it my all to stay up and try to catch as much as I possibly can before giving into the need for sleep.
Too funny, as I type this the boys are talking about coffee. Ryan wonders what would happen if you snorted it, Adam replies that it probably burns like hell.
I can answer that one... yes it does burn, especially when it's freshly brewed. Trust me it wasn't intentional, I got a little too close one morning to take a big whiff and got a snoot full instead. Rather unpleasant I must say.
Turned on the feeds to check on the guineas, I think BB should rescue them ASAP and send them to sequester with Sharon.
If anthropologists wanted to study actual Neanderthals, they don't need a time machine, just live feeds of these two oafs alone in the house.
Would someone please suggest to these two idiots that they spend some of their cash on ediquette lessons and in Adam's case elocution classes as well, or maybe an English as a second language course. I hope their mothers ( and Jen) knock some sense into them. I am sure they are shocked to see such loutish, uncouth, clods.
Loved Pyke's list, BB?Ag will have to learn to keep hands off if they want to keep viewers.
I strongly feel America should have one vote for all evictions and should have more input, that will keep it more interesting for us and help cut manipulation. Also will keep hgs on their toes since they know we are watching 24/7. BB could give different tasks or pranks to different houseguests instead of a single Americas players.
I hope the jury questioning is going to be shown, have not been able to bear watching the feeds any more. Might as well go to the zoo and visit the ape house. UGH!
OKAY... CAROLYN THIS IS FOR YOU.... this is the most hilarious thing I've seen in awhile.. its a clip from House Calls so you might have seen it, but if not, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT... ROFLMAO....
Carolyn...you once said Adam was a mensch...you're far more of one by staying up and doing this for those of us clinging to what's left of this season. Thank you dear.
Okay...next season, I agree - would love to see some DR. But how about the final two...let them have an hour of the sequester house every day..and allow us to watch it too. Oh what the heck...open it all up. It is called Big Brother afterall. From my mouth to AGP's ears!!
I on the other hand didn't dare lay down or I wouldn't be here bugging you now, I love my bed... my favorite place on earth besides my computer desk dishing about BB.
I'm hyped on coffee and ready to go.
Last I heard was Adam asking "where's the jury house?" then immediately trivia started.
The folks I have the most sympathy for this season are the staff menbers that are stuck there monitoring these morons. I would toss my cookies regularly if I was stuck looking at them. I might have had a breakdown if I had had to sit and listen to Sharon and Sheila's voices non stop. At least we can turn off the feeds and escape for a bike ride or another sane activity. Does CBS give these folks hazard pay? and good benefits to cover therapy?
I am ho[pin g we get leaks, would like to se these two bumblers in the skillet.
Ron in CO--I didn't suggest that it was Pick on Ryan day, but GaYToR's idea works for me. Jane so often hits the nail on the head about Ryan that I'm often satisfied just by reading her posts.
Jane, I totally agree with you! Pyke, it would be soooo boring if it was all uncensored BB plus what would they put on TV that wouldn't surprise us? The whole point behind hiding things is to get us to watch it on TV.
5.6 million hits!
Un-Real! I still feel like the little blog that could...
Thanks so much for making this the best season ever on the dish! :)
I'll be checking in periodically to moderate comments, and after a couple weeks,
we can look forward to some interviews with some of the final 9 HGs. Of course, if there's big news before then, I'll be posting that too. :)
Happy Spring!!

6) NO MORE TWISTS! Nuff said!
I should refresh more often before asking questions on other posts.
Midnight BBT is 2AM my time.
I don't know if I can make it, but I'm going to tune into the live feeds to watch them squirm for as long as I can stay awake.
I really hope and wish BB "accidently" forgets to switch to flames/trivia during the jury grilling.
Now that would be better than any DR leak to date.
;)

Do we get to see any of this?

As much as I love the Dish, I must be functional in the AM. Thank you for everything you do Carolyn and good night!
~ Ryan ~
So Carolyn, are you staying up all night to see if you can catch a glipse of the jury? Ugh.
I admit it... I'm weak, I'm addicted!
Logged onto Real and watched the feeds for awhile.
Nothing's changed. Still nose picking, crotch scratching, nail biting, hocking loogies and jonsing for cigarettes. Jonsing so bad they began looking everywhere they've looked before and then some. Ryan found a sea shell, but they determined they couldn't smoke it.

i agree with Pike- Iwould also add that it would be refreshing to add some people of color into the mix

Damn, we have trivia.
