Big Brother 5 OFFICIAL THREAD!!!!!!

[Princess_Aurora]

I've just been eagerly awaiting some active live feeds so I could see if they talk about the brother/sister thing and if they all know abou it yet. I tried to watch the live feeds last night but they were blocked until the show was aired on the west coast.

How much do the live feeds cost?

For some reason I cannot access the page, but I believe it is 25 bucks for the three months. It goes down as you approach the end of the season.

Upon thinking about this whole situation further...does anyone watch Joe Schmo??? It's a show on Spike TV that's like a reality show only everyone on it (except for two people) are actors and it's all a trick. So I started thinking...everyone this year is really above average in looks. People already seem to be really fake. This twist is WAY too far out there. What if BB5 is doing a Joe Schmo only this time the joke is on every single one of the viewers! What if none of these people are real? What if this "twist" isn't even real? I don't know, but something sure doesn't seem right about this season.

That would be wild! It would pretty much mean the end of the BB series if they did that, though.

Or you can pay $9.95/month.

Yep.

Can You imagine being the parents, family and friends and seeing this unfold? Life changing for them too.

rdrjj5, I had thought of that, too. In fact, the more I think of the father of both people, I wonder if he has any clue Cowboy Mike exists. After all, Jennifer was saying how close she was to her dad, what a nice guy he was. They are 2 years apart in age. Could he have matured that much in 2 years? If he was a good parent, would he have any feelings at all towards doing the right thing by his son? Or, possibly, he just felt guilty and didn't want to upset his "new" life, but it jsut struck me as odd the more I thought of it.

And you can bet Jennifer's family is watching everything--I would if it were my daughter, even if she did have tattoos and purple hair.

Could someone clue me in on Mike's history with his dad? Have they shared this info yet? I missed the segment when they explained that Jennifer and Mike are brother and sister. How did Mike realize that she was his sister?

Thanks for the info!

Holly (who I'm thinking is a 'plant') asked people about their last names, Jennifer told them her last name was Dedmon. All Cowboy knew about his father was that his last name was Dedmon, that he was in Vietnam, had his foot blown off, and a few other details. After cowboy hears the last name, he starts questioning Jennifer/Nokomis no end until he puts 2 and 2 together.

Ok - I have a question...

Will has this elaborate plan to "play the gay card" when everyone is sitting around the table eating dinner blah blah blah.

I'm sorry - are most people still shocked by this these days? I mean really - you're gay, congrats, pass the salt.

 

[vald1977]

Didn't they also say that cowboy Mike has a brother as well, though? I wonder if Jenifer's father is the father to both boys and if so, he had to have known at least one of them exsited .

Kimnicki,
Mike realized they were brother and sister when she told the group her last name and some info on her dad. He put two and two together.

 

[minniecarousel]

Cowboy Mike realized that Jennifer is probably his sister when they were talking about their last names. Jennifer's last name is Dedmon (or somthing like that). Cowboy Mike's ears picked up when he heard it since it's such an unusual name. That's why he further quizzed her and found out her Dad was in 'Nam and lost part of his foot. Didn't have to work too hard to put 2+2 together!

As a West-coaster who gets pretty ticked off with spoilers, I have NO PROBLEM with this thread containing full spoilers. My problem is when people put actual spoilers in the SUBJECT LINE! I know not to open this thread until AFTER I've seen the current episode.

I thought the same thing...but then I remembered that there several manly men in that house...so they will most likely freak out.

 

[always quiet]

I don't quite understand how the show managed to get these 2 people together. I mean, I'm sure that on the application, there are not questions like "Do you know both biological parents?" "Do you think your father has any children before his marriage to your mother?" "What are your parents names?" Just doesn't make any sense how the show was able to connect these 2. Odd. If Mike's dad didn't know about his existence before, imagine his shock as he is sitting there watching the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or worse............his wife's!!

Since they showed the one guy and his twin brother together during the "pre-show", I am 99% sure that that won't be the twin they are showing when they "swap". It will be the girl. Can't be too obvious!

 

[faithinkarma]

Maybe CBS went looking at some website where people look for biological parents. It is not inconceivable that cowboy could have registered at one of them. Given there resources, how difficult would it be for CBS to find a match for one of the requests. We have all seen that on talk shows...someone comes on talking about a long lost relative, and they are told " surprise, we found them, and they are here". Then all they would have to do is send out invitations to BB and hope the people bit.

Or maybe it was all coincidence, and they discovered this when doing a thorough background check of potential contestants. Sounds unlikely, but I suppose it is possible.

 

[Kimnicki]

Thanks everyone for the info on Michael and Jennifer!

Daily Happenings in the house: (According to Morty's site) scroll down if you want to know what's going on.




11:00AM Holly and Jase finally wake up. Diane and Mike (the Don) plan an alliance with Adria and Drew. 11:49AM Outside LD. Will says he was at a party with Seth Green, Wilmer Valderrama, McCauley Culkin, and Mila Kunis. Will has a friend who dated Valderrama.

12:30PM Adria led Holly and Lori in workout, after all. she's a fitness twin. Will was asked out by Mark Christopher, the director of the movie, "Studio 54." Will declined the invitation. Will is quite the name dropper. He sees Regis at the gym all the time.

1:00PM After LD Jase is called to the DR. It looks like it's nomination time, but I'm not sure Jase has made up his mind. The keys were hung on the memory wall, but it's not time for noms yet. At this point, Mike seems to be the favorite for first eviction. The question is: Will the decoy take a hit?

 

[Princess_Aurora]

Does anyone here have the live feeds? I was just wondering because I'm having a problem signing in to the chat with the live feeds and was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I just went to subscribe to the live feeds and was unable to do it. I was able to get to the site last night, but decided to wait to subscribe. Then today, I cannot even get to the page. I thought it was my computer at first, but my husband, super tech, says it is the site that is having problems.

I was able to get to the chat though.....I asked if anyone else was having trouble, but no one answered...for all I know I only thought I was there

SPOILER

<table bgcolor = black><tr><td> Okay...I've been watching the live feeds today. There are two HGs sitting on the hammock. Lori (I think) and I don't know who the guy is. (I haven't learned their faces and names yet.) Anyway, they were talking about stuff and the guy started talking about seeing his mom when he got out of his house. The girl asked if he was talking about his real mom or step mom. Apparently he's not close with his real mom and he made the joke of her hopefully not showing up in the house. Then he said his sister was already in the house??? The thing is, this is not Michael talking, I know that much. That boy has a very identifiable accent. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about this or maybe I was hearing it wrong??? </tr></td>
