I'm glad you are doing them because there are times when people just blurt out spoilers online and the whole season gets ruined to a degree. It happened to me with Survivor last year about 5 weeks into the show when I was reading something on Entertainment Weekly and someone not only told who the winner was, but also part of the boot order. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled.

I don't understand how you were able to read those kinds of spoilers about Survivor - not that I'm dismissing what you said. It's just that no one could have had the inside scoop on the boot order, nor who won, because the show is taped in advance and the only other people who are present with the contestants are those on the production staff. Not to mention, the results of the final vote aren't revealed until Jeff reads them on the live show at the end of the season. I suppose after the final night on the island, the contestants could go home and leak the boot order to the press...but aren't they contractually bound to stay silent until the end? I can't imagine they'd want to risk getting in trouble for violating the terms of their contract, and possibly losing any prize, by doing that. And even still, they don't know who the winner is anyway. I suppose the members of the production staff obviously know the boot order, and maybe even know who the winner is ahead of time, but then wouldn't that mean they leaked the results? I don't know why, or even if, they would do that. How odd.

Anyway, I guess I'm a little lost after watching tonight's episode. Seems like...

Spoiler
Hayden and Enzo have talked about getting rid of Lane instead of Britney. I don't know, part of me still thinks Britney is going to end up winning this thing. Maybe I'm wrong. Hayden won POV and obviously hasn't used it. So that means it's totally up to Enzo. Enzo may think he has no chance against Lane, and may choose to keep Britney instead. Oh well....it all depends on who wins the final HoH. If Britney wins it, then I think she will win the $500K.

Survivor spoilers are pretty common -- last season's boot list was posted here (originally without the spoiler code! ). It seems to happen every season, and you'd think that by now the show's producers would have figured out how to stop the leak(s) .....

Yeah, it would seem there could only be a certain list of people who'd have access to the information. On one of my previous jobs, we sometimes had to undergo special interviews by the corporate office's security department - sort of like a lie detector, only instead of being hooked up to a machine, the person conducting the interview would instead ask specially worded questions and then judge our responses according to our physiological reactions (change in posture, eye movements, stammering, twitches, etc) as well as how we answered those questions in conjunction with certain other ones. Somehow they were always able to tell when someone was lying. I'd think the producers would be able to conduct some sort of similar security interview with each person who had access to the boot list in order to determine who was responsible for leaking the info.

Yeah, I don't know how they got the info, but again this was on a different website. I was stunned because this was before the merge, so I didn't know it was possible to know who won.

Back on topic: I haven't seen tonight's episode yet, so I can't comment on it. I do know who won veto though, but I won't say.

I've lost some interest in the show since Ragan was evicted.

I want anyone to win but Meow, Meow - What has he really done? He claims he's the mastermind, well anyone could give suggestions, it's the person who actually does things. He's useless and has become very annoying, with the Yo crap....

This has been the worse Big Brother Season. Very disappointed. Boring, boring!!! I didn't even get the live feeds, first time ever...

My thoughts exactly. I fast forward every time he is in the diary room.
