So, Real re-ran the BB7 livefeeds.
When I first heard they were doing this I thought it was a stupid idea. I mean, we all know how it's going to end up, right? Then I figured, well, I'll watch for a little while to get the early stuff I missed. And use it to kind of gradually detox off my BB addiction. Then we got up to when I started watching the first time around and I remembered how much fun it had been, so I kept watching. And before I knew it, it was the end. Again.
At this point I'm a huge fan of the refeeds. First place, since we knew what was going to happen and when it was easy to check in for the good parts and skip the boring parts. And knowing how all the competitions were going to end up made it a little less stressful. Just a little, mind you. I still got a little nervous each time Janelle had to win a veto, and I was still a little sad when certain people got evicted. The other thing was that the days of the week were off, so I caught some daytime stuff from days that fell on weekends this time around. The time change helped too.
I managed to really amuse one of my friends when I exclaimed one day "hey it's August 22nd!" This totally confused him, since he was pretty convinced it was actually October 28th or something like that.
I also used the refeeds as an opportunity to grab a huge number of screen caps. Check out the collections to the left, if you're interested. (Check out the updated FAQ for questions about copying, etc.) I'm working on a few additional pages that I'll link as they get (mostly) done.
And the best part of the refeeds is that now I only have to wait 7 months, instead of almost 10, for next season.
Watching the refeeds is also part of why I haven't been keeping up with other shows. Only part, though. Is it just me or does this season of TV kind of suck?
