What is the Spider named? Buddy - was a spider they spent time observing/feeding - it lived over the dryer.

What will the sequestered HGs do, where will the go? This is still an unknown (8/3/03) although Justin did say that they will not be allowed to watch any of the remaining HGs except when they compete (HoH, Food, Veto, Luxury, etc).  he said they will not be allowed to watch the TV show either.  As for the location, no one is really sure.  Speculation is that they may be kept on the CBS lot in another house.  The HGs think that they might be flown off to some vacation spot in Mexico, but it is all speculation.

Are the feeds really live?  Yes, they are as "live" as they can be.  Some folks have reported having 2 different things happening at the same time, but this can usually be accounted for in "lag" - one computer was getting data faster than the other and over time the two transmissions end up showing different things - usually only by a few minutes at most.

Will someone be brought back? It is not sure what CBS has planned, but something does seem to be going on because the official site lists one week where it would appear no one is eliminated, or someone is added back OR someone knew is brought in.

Did all the HGs apply to be on the show? No, the "orignal" 8 - with the exception of Alison did apply, and then the BB producers tracked down their "Ex's" - in the case of Allison it seems that one of her ex's applied and they located her, then decided the original applicant was not suitable and went with one of Alison's ex's (Justin).

How much do the HG's get paid/win? The winner gets $500,000, second place gets $50,000.  All the others get paid about $750 a week for the time in the house (and for those on the Jury I think they get the same amount while sequestered).
 

Why do the Hgs take medication? Several HGs are on medicines - all are encouraged to take vitamins.  Ali is on some type of skin medicine, I think for Acne.  Erika takes Claritin (alergies).  Jake has taken Advil when his back was hurting him.  I have only learned this by listening to them discuss it - when I hear more I will make a note of it.
