06/02/06 - As I have done recently - all Big Brother info can be found in my Big Brother 7 Area which will be updated daily once the show begins (and has a lot more updates than this page alredy!!)!!!

Of course my BB6 area is full of stuff from the season - check it out too!!

5/27/04 Looks to me like the "Brandon" that will be on The Ultimate Love Test has to be the very same "Brandon" that was kicked off Big Brother 4 before the show began.  Check it out for yourself.  Both "Brandons" are from Newport, CA and are 28 years old.

5/26/04  So doesn't this look like Marcel to you??

Vid capture from WB's Superstar USA.
its an audience shot from a teaser for the finals.

5/25/04 No BB5 news - I have even corresponded with the production company and they have no news.  On another note - I was watching WB's Superstar USA tonight and I SWEAR Marcellas from BB3 is in the studio audience - I will get a screen cap asap and post it.

5/14/04 - Most additions will be occuring in the BB5 area.

3/22/04 I have come across other sites stating the casting deadline will be April 9th.  Of course if you are a fan you know that many cast members are not cast until just a few weeks before the show begins - but you better live out in LA to have a shot at those chances.

Open Casting Call:  I am sure there will be many more but here is one in Boise ID on April 6th - Link with info.

3/10/04 Looks like the deadline for applications may be April 15th.  Callbacks will most likely begin in May.  I did notice something new in the application this year - you must be 21 years old to be on the show.

3/8/04 The "Yes Dear " episode with the BB cast members airs tonight on CBS.  Picture of the cast below.

3/4/04 Just saw the 1st Big Brother Five TV ad tonight telling people to apply at cbs.com.  It was just a 10 second ad during Survivor.

2/17/04 Big Brother 5 page is up and running although it does not have much to it at the moment.  I have also been creating pages for the BB4 HGs with pictures from last year.  So far I have pages done for Alison, Amanda, Dana, David,Jun, and Justin.  Each page contains their brief info, links to any official page they might have and 15-20 screen caps from BB4.  I will be making more as I have time.

1/21/04 The TVCH Live Feed Archives for Big Brother IV are finally up and can be found here.

12/04/03 I have created a "Curtism" generator and will keep it on the BB1 Page.  Curtis was well known to say some very funny stuff during BB1 and several sites spent a lot of time posting his quotes. 

Here I have put together a quote list from BBIV - Hit re-fresh (re-load) to get a new quote.  Its random and there are over 40.

10/15/03 Here is a picture from Amy's site of the BB members who will be on the show "Yes Dear" next Monday.  Thanks to Amy's site for allowing me to post this!!

I have been asked to post the following link.  Its a petition to get CBS to allow Canadians to participate in Big Brother - http://www.petitiononline.com/BigBroCN/

Reality TV items on e-bay.  Click here to see a current listing including any Big Brother items I can find.

Info on the current show can be found on the BB4 Area.

Big Brother Three

I have finished (kinda) a FOTH cam for BB3, for now CLICK HERE.  Other than that,  for now I have posted almost all of the pictures that were posted in the Live Feeds area of the TV Clubhouseduring BB3.  I also created a BB3 Slide show featuring Sheryl Crow singind "Soak Up the Sun" in the backyard of the BB house.  Check the BB3 area for that and more including a free FOTH Screensaver.
 

Big Brother Two

During BB2 I, along with many others, got very tired of the FOTH (Front of the house), or FD (Front Door) camera that we would get to see any time someone in the house started talking about things CBS might get sued over (personal names of people that had not signed a release, singing songs, etc.  So one day (ok, it took a week or more) I created a FD Cam simulator as a joke, and also so that folks that were not paying for the live feeds could see what we got to see.  It was a hit and I followed it up with my "Sleep Cam" which again was a joke since most mornings all we got to see was the HG (house Guests) sleeping.
 

Big Brother One

From BB1 I have 4 movies I captured and created one day when over at TV Clubhouse we got our wish and saw the second of two banners fly over the house.  We had decided we wanted a positive banner so it said something to the effect of "We Love You All - bigbrotherfanclub." I knew what time the banner was to fly so I had my realplayer up and running and used a program called "hypercam" to catch both the audio and video to an AVI file.  Its cool to hear George, Curtis, Jaimie & Cassandra react to seeing the banner.

I first stumbled across this show via the net when during the 1st season they let fans watch the goings on in the house for FREE, yes FREE.  Wanting to find a place to discuss the goings on in the house I found a sight aptly called the Big Brother Fan Club and I began keeping tabs on everything that went on in the house.

I found it so interesting to watch the "streams" or video feeds and then tune in later that day to CBS to see how they edited the show.  Never again have I watched a reality show the same way.  I now realize that shows like Survivor are shaped and molded by the producers and items are taken out of context whenever necessary for the sake of the storyline.

Big Brother was not a ratings hit in the summer of 2000, but it was re-worked a little and came back for 2001 where it fared better.  2002 was the best year yet for BB USA and BB4 in 2003 should fare as well, unless the public is completely worn out over the current glut of "reality" shows.
