RealNetworks has confirmed there will be no early bird special for this season of Big Brother 9, so if you are going to buy the feeds for the season, now is the time to order!
If you want to take advantage of the 14 Day Free Trial, make sure you wait and order until the 10th or 11th, as Big Brother starts on the 12th
Watch Big Brother 9 on SuperPass 24/7!

So Puddin, have you been getting your rest so that your ready. I think we should go into hibernation so were ready.
Post by: puddin on January 03, 2008, 06:00:35 PM
Yeah thats why I was hoping for the 6 month thing! :lol3: There is no point in cancelling only to get them again. Im excited for the free music :wohoo:I'm actually looking forward to Season 9 Mama, my other half has overtime, the 16yr old has a drivers license and car, and the 14 yr old hibernates in her bedroom when not in school, see the playstation in her room worked out well for me .. I only see her when shes hungry :yess:. Now if I can squeeze the dentist in, a haircut, and a few other things I've been neglecting, I see no reason why I wouldn't be ready for BB :wohoo:

And I don't believe any of the rumors about this being a 6-week stay. What would be the point? That would be 5-6 evictions and a final two, meaning that we only get to watch 7-8 (maybe 9) people. That's about half as many people as we normal. It would be like Survivor running from 39 days to 21 days. Why not go the original stretch?

and cleaned off my computer
went through my emails
cleared my photobucket
installed new software
updated all programs
and I'm good to go, it's a yearly ritual that's grooling but great when it's done.
I love the new look of the forum and the cute smilies :girly
For what it's worth Dick did say in his last chat on December 29th that he met with Robyn Kass the night before on the 28th to discuss his appearance on BB 9. Dick also confirmed that heck NO the show is not shorten at all and will run it's usual length. He said he also will spend New Years with Robyn and is in contact with CBS.
So is it true it remains to be seen until we hear more :wohoo:

As long as it doesn't cut into my sun-bathing then I can live with it for 3 months (:;)
Where are you going to get some sun-bathing during this time of year? :lol:
Anyways, yeah, I'll help update. I recently formatted my hard drive, and now I don't have my sound driver working. Hopefully it'll be fixed by February so I can listen to the HGs too.

I'm planning on signing up for live feeds especially since there won't be much on in the way of evening TV. I'll help as much as possible but it probably won't be but for a couple of hours a night (as in like 4:30pm BBT until 6:30pm BBT), if that. Sorry I won't be of much help, but maybe I can help a little. :wohoo:
sunflower1220 and michael d----
any help no matter how little is always welcomed!!! :jumpy:
i too plan to help when i can to give ol' puddin and anyone a break.
besides---the more info the better for all of us!! :wohoo:
Post by: MamaTo4boys on January 10, 2008, 10:46:54 PM
I never thought I would be this excited for Big Brother, I think its just cause there is like nothing to watch on tv (as others have said), and just being a winter BB - February is our snowiest month here I believe so it will be nice to have something to do!!!

I am really undecided as to whether or not I wanna get the live feeds again....work gets in the way....plus they were/are real PITA's about cancelling.....so, I dunno if I want to pay month to month.
Advice?
Post by: MamaTo4boys on January 22, 2008, 07:29:17 PM
I never had a problem when I cancelled last year (my feeds went wacky towards the end and not matter how many times I rebooted and did everything I could think of, they were still that way). Someone told me that they might've done that because of all the traffic towards the end when people get the free feeds with only 2 weeks left of the show :duno:
Post by: GrandmawLily on January 22, 2008, 07:50:52 PM
As far as I know 3 months was 39.00 or something. 30.00 would pay for 3 months of music :lol:

You're lucky, Mama!
When we called to cancel, they said it was paid up until the 27th of a particular month, then it would be cancelled.
On the 27th, we were billed again.
When we called to cancel AGAIN, they said our account was active. WE KNOW! But, we cancelled it. They said no, it's active. LOL
So, we canceled again, and we will see if it gets billed again. If they bill us again, I am gonna threaten a class action lawsuit and ask for the cust serv rep's name!! :lol3:

I know, Puddin. I thought I was the only one who hasn't bought the feeds yet. If there isn't a coupon code until Feb 11, then I'm buying then.Not only that but I bought them way to early last season and was all worried that my subscription would expire and I'd have to pay for another month.
