Actually, after ranting and raving, I just found out that BB WILL air on July 13th. D'oh. Found it here: http://www.cbs.com/info/hdtv/index.php

Soooo ... not too bad after all.

Thursday, July 6th - Episode #1

Sunday, July 9th - NO EPISODE

Tuesday, July 11th - Episode #2

Thursday, July 13th - Episode #3 (First Eviction)

Still kinda rushed, which sucks. I hate how everything is like crammed in one episode. I hated last seasons premiere episode where we had them move in, HoH AND nominations (which, judging by the episode layout, we'll probably get that again this year).

Well, yeah, Danny I agree. They SHOULD do that, but of course they don't. Just like Survivor will never again get a 90 minute premiere, which they NEED. Sigh. I'm in a bitchy ranting mood today already.

I bet on the first eppy we get houseguests reveal, whatever twist they have, HoH, and nominations. The second episode on the 11th will be the veto and the 13th the eviction. I *suppose* they could hold off on nominations until the 11th, but I doubt they will. Sigh.

No word on feeds from what I can hear (in terms of deals). I hear RealPlayer upped the price for the 3-month season pass to 40 bucks, up from 30. I forgot to cancel last year and they just took out 29 again the other day, so I'm set for the summer. I'll cancel after it's over this year. I turned on the feed this morning, there's a newer higher resoultion, 350, instead of 256 or whatever. I have DSL but the 350 plays a little shitty for me, so I went to 56K and it comes in quite well. Of course not the actual BB feed from the house, what they are showing is a really cool ocean shot and the BB theme music playing. I've got the links where the feed never loops or times out and constantly plays, if anyone wants them later.

And usually, the Houseguests move in on the Sunday before the premiere. So it should be tomorrow (July 2nd). I've also heard they move in on Monday (July 3rd). So ... it's one of those two days.

Oh, and actual feed from the house will start July 6th, after the premiere.

SWEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. That seems awfully quick, but I guess it's the same as usual. We knew Rachel was the first HOH was in the first episode last year didn't we?

It is rushed, but on the plus side, they'll have a lot of good material. We won't have to sit through the boring [!@#$%^&*], hopefully.

Season 2 was by far my favorite. I started watching it because I kinda knew who Mike Boogie was as I went to the same JR high as him although he was a few years older than me. Most people knew who was because he was the stand in for Matthew Perry on Friends at one point.

At first I hated Will, then I absolutely fell in love with him. He was so sarcastic and played the game so well. Season 3 was ok, 4 was horrid and I hated 5. I wasn't goingto watch 6 but I did. I may be one of the few people in the minority who hate Kaysar. I think he played the game poorly and I do not believe he deserves a third chance at this game. I loved James and Howie and hated Janelle at first but now I adore her.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
