I never watch the live feeds. So maybe I'm not as obsessed with the show as I thought. But I also see no point in paying to access them. Plus, I don't generally like spoilers before the actual show airs. However, to answer your question, I don't think you'd need to watch the live feeds in order to understand what's going on, because the different episodes usually recap what happened during the week anyway. Unless you're an absolute voyeur, I think the 3 weekly episodes are enough. If you haven't watched since Season 1, you really should start watching again. There are different positions the houseguests can hold, such as HOH (Head of Household), along with winning POV (Power of Veto, meaning you can override an HOH's nomination), etc. You might find it much more interesting than the first season.

I have a pretty good memory for faces and names, so I think I have them all memorized. My mom on the other hand has difficulty with doing that and sometimes we've been watching a show (usually not BB because it airs so many times that I think she remembers the names) for half a season and she still doesn't know the names. I also have a pretty good memory for memorizing the names of celebrities too.

The live feeds show more than what's aired... You might see more fighting, gossiping, etc.

One has to remember - the show when aired is edited as well.

I haven't gotten the feeds yet, as I do every season. I just want to get a feel of the house guests first.

The problem is, they are telling everyone in the house that showtime is about to start airing. So we enter this period of "hide everything when on TV" mode, for about the first 30 days. Then they start forgetting the cameras, and they get more relaxed.

Really, the middle time is the best for live shows. At the end its pretty boring, and everyone knows where the game is going. In the beginning, they are all being to cautious.

Personally, I think BBAD on showtime should just show the best highlights of the day, unedited, with some live stuff thrown in if it gets interesting.

I have to agree with Memphis 1979. The only time I enjoy watching BBAD at the end is if my alliance or favorite members have made it to the end.

I would have rather
Spoiler
Kathy
went up, but Hayden made a pretty logical decision.

I'd like to see someone start a POLL listing all the players to see who posters would vote for as their pick for the 'Saboteur'.
Then when the mole is revealed see how many got it right.
My vote at the moment would be Enzo from Jersey. He's been playing it too cool and flying under the radar at the moment.

I'm beginning to think the saboteur is really Kathy. She either sucks at all the competitions or she is trying to purposely lose.
She bugs me more than Rachel, although Rachel is really annoying with her dumb act. Right now, I dont care who goes, don't know them all enough yet.

I originally said it was Enzo (it's like a bad actor trying out for the remake of GoodFella's), but I really started questioning Kathy last night when she all but took a nap in the molasses during the competition. Could anyone really be that slow?

Do any of you know if the losers really have to sleep in the "Have Not Room"? It's pretty nasty this year. Live bugs?! Yikes!!!!
