The Updates seem to have really lapsed over the last week, not nearly as much, and not in a very timely manner. Understand it is a lot of work, but I think if it is to keep going, it needs to be updated as much as it was in the beginning.

is there any way to have the comments post automatically? I dont' expect you to be checking 24 hours a day :) So that way people can have conversations all day? Plus, would stop all the mutliple comments that seem to get posted (when people think their comments are not going through). Just a thought!

I enjoy it very much. I'm sure it is a tremendous amount of work.
Thanks for your hard work

I think to ask you to do anything more would be selfish on my part. Hopefully you do have a life. I truly appreciate everything you do. I mean, we aren't paying for this, so I think it is great!!! Thank you so much.

More updates,more often, it seems they have slowed down quite a bit especially today there was a huge lapse.

i love your blog! i don't always get a chance to watch bb, so whenever i miss an episode, i'm here to get the latest news before it's out or recaps on episodes.. really appreciate all your hard work!!
i really enjoyed the video clips and pictures too!
good job team!

Nominations come through yet?

nominations are in progress!

I think it's awesome what you do. The only thing that I can think of is to get updated quicker. You are doing great! Thanks!

BB13 said...

how often do you guys want an update?

Anonymous said...

Maybe just a quick paragraph before a live feed post that tells the gist of what is going to be written so we don't have to wade through details and can just know some quick important updates. Otherwise, the blog is GREAT. Oh and you can say no to this suggestion since this is bb8 TALK, but how about some pictures or screen caps with the written updates so they are a little easier on the eye? Keep up the good work.

1) Definately keep the comment moderation off because that is annoying! 2) Definately more updates in the day. 3)Add pictures/videos

I appreciate all your hard work,but since you're asking--It would be nice to have set times when you'll be posting unless of course there's breaking news eg: nominations, evictions, HOH.

I too think you do an amazing job. I would perfer three updates a day-late night to early morning, mid afternoon and early evening. But I am well aware of much effort this is and I thank you for everything you are doing. I actually think I am in the minority-I prefer comment moderation because when I see new comments posted I know an update is coming soon.

Anonymous said...

Thank you for all your hard work. I look forward to your updates all day long.

I dont even watch the show much anymore since I found your blog. So of course I say more updates!!!!! I am addicted. Saves me time by not having to watch the show and I get more info. Thanks for your effort.

I find myself looking several times a day,, keep it up!

I'm addicted to your site as much as I'm addicted to BB. You do a great job. Thanks.

i love this blog... its more interetsing then the show. haha. but i think the only other thing would be videos and/or pictures of things that are written about in a post that may be interesting... just like you've been doing, but maybe a little more.

Updates are great. Video clips when possible are great. If it wasn't for your site, I would have different opinions of some of thee people.

Great Job!!!!!!

I LOVE this blog! I find this to be the most objective and informative. I work full-time and can't/don't watch the feeds all the time. I love being able to check it before work, at lunch, right after work and then before bed-time. You guys do an AWESOME job of keeping it factual and objective-- so good-a-job, that I'm hooked and I want it all the time! Keep up the GREAT work!

Love the blog...but, would love for you to relay some of these comments to CBS so that they can read them. They need to know how to improve on the game. This year is pretty disappointing and I think that CBS should hear what people have to say.

Anonymous said...

Keep doing what you're doing. This is a very "pure" blog-no pop-ups, no advertisments. It is obvious your luv of BB8 is what keeps this going. You make it work best for you! I just enjoy reading the real story behind the editing room floor at CBS. Thanks for all you do!

Broken Leg girl here with nothing to do but keep up on these updates all day long. Thanks for making my sedentary summer a little more bearable.
One idea I had is to have a link where you answer our questions. If you had time to do so, I know I always have questions about what is going on but there is nowhere to put them. Keep up the awesome work and thanks again.

If it isn't that much trouble, some videos and pics would be really cool. I know you have a life too, so even if you didn't do that this would still be the best bb8 web site out there. Keep up the good work.

People....are you really complaining that you aren't getting enough FREE updates??? Pay for the live feeds yourself if you want round the clock coverage! Sorry, but I just think it is rude to compain about something that you are getting for free and that I am sure takes a lot of hard work!

Anonymous said...

I am shocked to see that there are people who think that there should be more updates..I can't see how you can do anything but watch the show all day long to keep us updated. Thanks for the fantastic job and my comment to those who are not satisfied with the present info is to purchase the 24 hour feed.

Anonymous said...

i think the updates are great. i'm so glad i found this site. people need to stop complaining.

Anonymous said...

I agree--you do an incredible job! Speaking of jobs--do you have one? I can't imagine working full time and doing the recaps you do. While I am sometimes anxious to get an update and it may take awhile I think people need to recognize that you guys (hopefully!) have a life other than B! Disabling comment moderation is a good thing though--let's keep our fingers crossed that people don't abuse it.

Unknown said...

I love your blog and visit so many times throughout the day. I too have wondered what has happened regarding the frequency of the posts over the past few days but I can't really complain as I really appreciate everything you do in maintaining the blog. I agree though as far as the comments, I wish they showed up immediately. Either way, I'm just glad that you provide such useful information and would just be sad if you didn't provide it anymore.

I think you do great updates and if I choose to let myself be "spoiled", it is my choice. You have spoiled me, I do not tell anyone else that I know that watches the stuff that is in here, they can look themselves. You are great for doing this and it takes a lot of your time and you do it without your biases. GREAT JOB!!!!

Anonymous said...

I think you do a wonderful job with this blog. It is very time consuming and I really enjoy when you roll your eyes. I have the live feed but don't get the opportunity to watch it as much as I'd like. It's great to come here to find out what is going on. Keep up the good work.

Deborah said...

I think your updates are wonderful. I'm new at seeing the updates. I've only been watching the show and didn't realize all the other info that was available. It's brought a whole new spectrum to the game for me. Thanks!

use word verification to keep spam out. that way a human has to post and you dont get hit by automatic spam programs

ur updates got less when u went back to school

Anonymous said...

I just recently found your blog and have to say that I love it! I find myself checking at least 2-3 times a day and you usually have something new. It's a great way to keep up with the inside scoop if you don't watch the live feeds and love the spoilers! Keep up the good work and thank you!

Anonymous said...

I just found this site, and have passed it along to my friends! I love to watch the show, but I love your blog because it fills in the gaps, and gives the background. I can't say enough about your objectivity... I appreciate not having to read through constant rants on personal opinions, I LOVE to just know WHAT HAPPENED! :-) My only advice would be to read through your post once before posting it.... sometimes I get confused while reading on which "he" you're referring to, for example. Keep up the GREAT work though! I LOVE IT!

Anonymous said...

more frequent updates. the email list should come whenever there is a post, not all at once the next day.

Excellent blog! Thank you. Please continue.
CBS, Dick has seriously crossed the line to abusive behavior multiple times, verbally and posturing physically toward both male and female houseguests. You must have TIGHT legal contracts to feel so secure in allowing this to continue. He is a law suit in the making.

I say "Great job" keep up the good work. I am so hooked on this blog!!! I check every minute I think, cause I don't have the feeds but you give such details it's like I am right there. LOVE IT can't get enough.
THANKS SO MUCH!

I am a bit of a BB junky, but I work overseas for 4 weeks at a time, and I can't access the CBS site to watch the show. I think this site is great, but a few mroe screen caps of important events (or the girls in bikinis) would be great. Like when the "mad hatter" was in the house, I wouldn't have fully grasped the oddness of it unless there were screen caps. So thanks, and keep up the good work.

You rock! Love this site!

some information about YOU and how you have the time to publish such a great site would be great!

Anonymous said...

Thank you so much for this blog. I check every couple of hours. I Tivo or watch the midnight to 3 AM coverage, but it is usually pretty boring. You provide much more information. Sometimes the poll question is out of date. Thanks again for your dedication to this. I love it!

Since you asked... I'm not sure how easy this would be, but any chance of separating the days so that it isn't one HUGE long blog? It would also be easier to read if it was arranged oldest entry for each day on top newest on the bottom. This may only work if it was done by separate days either that or just each day is clearly separated. I.E., when I log on at the end of the day to read what has happened I have to scroll down to find the first entry and then read it and scroll up reading entries till I get to the top... it just seems a little a$$backwards.

Anonymous said...

I appreciate all that you already do. I read your Blog faithfully 3-4 times a day because you outshine all the other bloggers. I don't think it would be fair to ask much more of you.

Anonymous said...

This blog is better than the live show. No need for me to watch the show anymore.

I had to cut-back and only read the posts once daily since reading updates were taking my attention away from other important matters.

I guess I am one of the few (or maybe the only) who wouldn't mind having one update daily. Just one update to recap the events of the day. That way I don't have to scroll down to find each blog that I've missed.

Hope its not too late to post here. I think your site is great. I saw your link to help your site with a donation, I plan on donating soon and I hope others will too. I know this is alot of work for you and I'm not having to pay for live feeds and I work and can't sit up all night watching, etc. Thank you for everything. I love how you seem to have a way of knowing everything before it happens and being so accurate with your predictions, keep up the good work. Since I work all day I like the less frequent updates myself, I just don't have time to read pages and pages of stuff. It seems to me you already update everything in your main post and anymore updates is just reputitious words that make catching up more like reading a novel than an update. But I know everyone has there favorite HG and love to get the juice on whats happening with there favorites. Maybe you could have the main update to fill everyone in on the basics like you had before, then maybe a few updates with juicey tidbits of each HG and you could just pass by any HG you didnt care to read about. Im not sure how I feel about the pictures, they livin up the page but make for alot of extra scrolling. However in the past when you put a video clip in I always watched those. For me personally I have been watching Showtime and here lately they put in the writings about how Eric and Jess are getting closer, etc., but you don't see anything on the show much or get much more on them. I know if they are staying up late with each other they got to be talking about there relationship some. I saw in a later post when you said that Jess told Eric about how see felt towards him, but I would have liked to know a little more about what she said to him. Maybe you could give me a little more on there romance. Thanks again and I will hit you with a donation soon. Thanks for being our eyes and ears.
