   Thank you for posting the pics and the video of the media day competition. Matt W. was doing some serious game playing!

   I think that game is one of those labrynth games where you roll the marble through a maze. During the video there was a spot where they showed it for just a second while 2 of the guys were talking.

   A couple of those reporter girls seemed kinda not excited to be there. I’m not saying be over the top like Big Red, but c’mon!

   SO excited!!! I may have missed it, but are there going to be forums on here for the feeds this year?

   This is what I would expect Klassy in Tijuana to look like.

   I AM looking forward to the show.

   Shannyt…. I really wish I could say YES, there will be forums for the live feeds!… but I’m getting really worried. There are only 10 days left until the show and still nothing….. TPTB keep saying they will be back, but they have been saying that for over 2 months now. Flipit is going crazy trying to get them to put something in place. If they aren’t back, we can always go to another site.

   Will you let us know where you go, Chooch? I love to follow along with the fun!

   There is a very private place we can all go to that nobody knows about…. it’s Flipit’s own web site. He has his very own forums and everything. No one goes there anymore. Me and Cherie are the Mods and all we have to do is sweep and dust, knock down the cobwebs and its ready to go. Everyone would just have to sign up as members there. It’s an alternative if nothing is done here by the 12th.

   Can’t wait! I’ll even be in the States for a couple of weeks, I might even get to see the show in real time with you all for once.

    Just out of curiousity, is there a reason we should have to go another site if the forums aren’t up? I mean, can’t the BB feeds be recapped on the main site in seperate posts? I know the feed comments are updated often, but isn’t it possible to post them every 12-24 hrs as a mini/recap and Gasmii can read it all at once and comment?

    Have you ever read live feeds before sarcasatire? The whole purpose of them is to tell people who don’t have the feeds what is happening AS it’s happening in the house, especially when something major is going on. We post the pictures and the action as it happens. This is extremely important when HOH competitions are endurance ones and they continue after the CBS show ends. We live feed people continue to watch and post the action to those who don’t have the feeds so they know who wins. We also find out who gets nominated, who wins the VETO comps, what food they get and all of those things. You’d be surprised how many people want to know right away and not 12 hours later. By then, 12 other sites have already posted these things and it’s old news.

    Thanks for keeping us updated Chooch!

    The live feeds is why I started coming to the gasm and I would definitely miss how our team reports the live feeds versus some of the other sites.

    @Itchy, so you can experience the anger or joy with us and not 2 days later after I’ve already went against my vow that I was never watching the show again.

    Not sure about anger or joy. Contempt, yes. Scorn, of course. Lust, on occasion, sure.

    Love the feeds on tvgasm, the snark is not to be missed. The other sites, while helpful to get info are just NOT the same.

    Is it just me or is the kitchen/living area too damn shiny?

    Chooch, yes, I read and commented often on the feed threads last year. I understand how important posting “in real time” is, I just wondered if it was worth leaving the main site for, and whether a compromise could be reached. I thought the main concern was spoilers and not wanting to spoil HOH comps and other things for people who only watch the show by posting on the main page. I see now, the main concern is possibly losing Gasmii feed viewers to other sites. A legitimate concern. I hope everything works out by the 12th. However, I plan to remain loyal to my Gasmii folk, whatever is decided.

    I am the most loyal fan of TVgasm ever. I have been a member here since it’s beginning, long before it was taken over by the corporation that owns it now. The LAST thing I want is for members to go to another site. I will still do daily updates on the front page here every single day and tell all of the BB fans what is going on in the BB14 house. I will give them a big “SPOILER ALERT” in the headline. I will never abandon this place. It is my home. There will also be recappers to do the CBS shows that will air 3 nights a week so we will still be getting the BB experience.

    The only thing that will be missing is the live feed updates in the forums, which brings in a HUGE amount of viewers to this site, more than any other time of the year. People that never come to TVgasm, come hear just to read the live feeds and see what is happening in the house. Without the forums, the site will lose all of those viewers. They will go to Morty’s or Jokers. For some reason, the forums have not been returned to Tvgasm. Flipit has hounded the tech crew over and over, that we need them for BB, but they don’t respond. What else can we do? Any suggestions?

    Agreed Zero and while I hope it’s not boring I do love when Giff adds the porn to the feed recaps.

    Live Feed Updates for BB is what brought me to TVgasm in the first place. Sad if the people in charge can’t see how important that is for this particular show!

    @chooch: I def understand the frustration. I was hoping that someway, somehow a compromise could be reached that doesn’t send Gasmii to another site. I like reading you guys recap the feeds and the comments that follow. It’s a great lil community.. and I’d rather the Gasm get the page hits than anyone else..

    I can’t really offer any suggestions, not being technically astute myself. Maybe instead of bringing back the entire forum structure, which is obviously posing a bit of a challenge, maybe it’s possible to bring back just one forum thread? Or something in the form of a live chat/rant which keeps an open, running thread all season? Sigh..I’m just grasping at straws here. Don’t mind me.

    I agree with you sarcasatire. We don’t need the old forums the way they were. The spam problems were a NIGHTMARE!!! I know because I was the one who had to try and delete and control it every day. It was what eventually crashed the site. I can see why TPTB don’t want to bother with them anymore. An updated version of them is what Flipit and I have discussed. Getting rid of all of those useless threads, keeping some of the relevant ones and totally eliminating the TV shows because those are covered on the front page in the recaps. Now it’s to the point where we have asked for nothing more than a clean slate… keeping nothing at all and starting new. They did give Flipit a forum for us about a month ago, but he sent it back to them, saying it was a “nightmare” and not anything we could use. since then, he has heard nothing, even though he has sent many, many e-mails.

    It’s sad to see things keep going downhill here. This is just another stake in the heart……

    The live feeds definitely help make the season… it’s the only show where spoilers are part of the fun.

    How about this idea: make a new tab like “home” and “watercooler” and label it something like “BB Spoilers”. Then each week would be in a recap form with multiple pages as needed. J-Mo’s top chef recaps take lots of photos and are up to 15-20 pages so conceivably a large one would work.

    Only a few people, or maybe just one, would be able to post, but we could still comment on it.

    This isn’t ideal, but it could get tvgasm thru the summer while they solve the problem. Would something like this even work?

    Kinda like what we are doing right now with the continuous dialogue between us all?… is that what you are suggesting? Only we would be live feeding instead….. hmmmmm. The one draw back would be no pictures. I couldn’t upload pictures to this comment format.

    Crankyguy embedded a video here once. Maybe pics can be embedded, too? I love the pics, too..it would be a bummer if we’d have to go without them. Unless…we have a “real time” thread, where updates/feed ‘caps are made in the comment section, and we all add our comments, then every 24 hrs, the same posts (Chooch’s or Giff’s) get consolidated into one cap with accompanying photos?

    Is that too much work? I mean, the daily feed cap would essentially be copy and paste of what you guys put in the ‘real time’ thread but it would accompany photos of folks losing HOH and stuffing their faces with that gross slop. Win-Win!!

    It would be easy enough to create an account on a photo-hosting site and post the links. Better than nothing, anyway!

    The only issue with running a spoiler thread here (which I think is a great idea, it might even be easier than wading through 50 pages of a week’s spoilers) is that the first line or so shows up in the sidebar — this risks spoiling things for people who don’t want that.

    And TVgasm is owned by a corporation? Which one?

    I refuse to believe they’ll bring her back in. Is she really that popular? I didn’t watch AR this season, mostly because she and her dimwit was on it.

    Ugh. Double-ugh. Ugh-squared.

    SURELY no more Rachel? I was Team Big Red last season, but after seeing her for 3 seasons worth of my favorite shows….enough is enough. No…just no.

    Hey guys if the tech guys don’t come thru with the forums the site we will go to is an off shoot of tvgasm. It belongs to flipit and there would be a link to it on the front page of tvgasm so it wouldn’t be a hassle to get to. Flipit has tried everything to get the forums up at tvgasm but time is running out. It will still be the same gang feedcapping and all you have to do is join the site. You guys still get to comment and join in just like here. If you’d like, go on over to flipittypes.com/forums and have a look around. I worked on it all night lol. Chin up everyone one way or another it will be GREAT!!!!!

    I have to say though, between the fey long-hair guy with the Divine accent and the overly tatted trucker Tank Girl type, this could be a fun season anyway.
