 This site is about the Big Brother 14 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me, and it isn't necessarily about who will win, who should win, who's cute or who's horrid. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior. Your pal, dingo CANADA POWER STATUS Emmett won Part 1 Gary won Part 2 Gary won Part 3 and final HOH, and evicted Emmett Jillian won BB Canada 4-3 BB CANADA DRINKING GAME Take a swig whenever someone asks when BB15 starts (June 26)  Get the Big Brother Buddy mobile app! Available for Android or iPhone/iPad  BIG BROTHER PAST SEASONS Amazon DVDs BB4 - BB3 Amazon Instant View BB14  - BB13 BB12  - BB11 - BB10 - BB9 - BB8 iTunes BB14 BB10 BB14 FAQ If you have SuperPass, access mobile feeds by going to real.com/bigbrother on your mobile device's browser. Log in (upper right), select Big Brother, and select Live Feeds from the drop menu. There is no app. The BB14 untwist resulted in no eviction, and all coaches entering the game. Boogie was the only one who didn't vote to enter. If all had said no, there would have been a hamster revival. Willie was ejected for head-butting Joe. Threats & verbal attacks are legal - aggressive physical contact is not. They called pre-show sequester 'convention' or 'knitting convention', and they're calling Diary 'the wizard' or 'dairy queen'. Ashley revealed they wear earpieces for nominations, at least early on. CBS shows were Sundays and Wednesdays at 8pm, and live eviction Thursdays at 9pm. Big Brother After Dark aired midnight to 3am nightly (1am to 4am Thursdays) on Showtime (SHO2) in USA, and on Slice in Canada at various times - check your local listings. BB14 prizes are the same: $500k for the winner and $50k for 2nd place. The others still earn $750 a week including pre-show hotel and jury sequester. Kara and Jenn may have gotten more. The coach of the winner would have gotten $100k without the untwist. Returning veterans got $20k to show up, and/or a higher stipend after the untwist. The habitat has 53 cameras (up one) and 98 microphones (up three). The recorded in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman. All feeds stay on one 'scene' when someone's in Diary. The Glass House premiered June 18 on ABC and ran for 10 episodes. The winner got $250,000 - half the usual BB winning amount. The glass hamsters went into hotel sequester on weekends. Big Brother Canada premieres February 2013.  |

The feeds The 24/7 live feeds are the real Big Brother 14 show and what differentiates it from all other reality shows. The feeds are available through a Real Networks SuperPass subscription The feeds are blocked during competitions and ceremonies, when the hamsters sing, talk about production or friends/relatives who didn't sign a release, during the live show, and at various other times. It can be frustrating, but overall we still probably average more than 23 hours a day of feeds. Remember that the decision to block the feeds is made by the show's producers and control room personnel - SuperPass is only the provider. Mobiles feeds are finally a reality this year: for an additional fee of $10 for three months (or $5 per month if your SuperPass bills monthly), you can access the feeds on your Android (2.2 or greater) or iOS (iOS4 or greater) device. Users with either operating system can go to the SuperPass Big Brother page to view the feeds. Android users can also use a free optimized app that will be available July 7. Thievery Please don't repost content from this or any other site without permission. Some folks think Big Brother sites are free-for-alls just waiting to copy & paste, but this is not the case. It's theft, plain and simple. This and all other sites about BB or any topic take a lot of effort to create. If you'd like to refer friends to something here, please use the "share" buttons at the top right of each page, or send them a link to the page rather than sending them the page. You wouldn't plagiarize a book - treat websites the same. I watermark my screencaps because they take a lot of time & effort to make, from sorting & selecting to tweaking brightness, contrast, etc. as needed to make the very best caps I can. So while CBS, Our House Productions and Real Networks technically own or license various aspects of the Big Brother experience, my caps are my own. DO NOT HOTLINK TO ANY IMAGES HERE! That includes avatars for message boards and embedded images on other websites.. it costs me money! Anyway, your cap won't show up for others - you'll only see it because it's in your browser's cache. If you see my content reposted anywhere without credit and a link back, please ask the webmaster or admin of the site you see it on to remove it. If they don't, please let me know - many thanks in advance! Disclaimers THIS SITE WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS! The outcomes of nominations, evictions, competitions and other info is likely to be posted here before CBS airs the same.. be warned. I make no claims to report everything that happens on the Big Brother 14 live feeds, and while I strive to be accurate with what I report and to be clear about what's fact and what's opinion, I make no guarantees as to accuracy or thoroughness.

See also Twitter 101 from my Big Brother 11 section. I've been using Twitter to send live feed updates since Big Brother 8. You can get my updates to your cell phone by texting follow hamsterwatch to 40404 (or 21212 in Canada, 5566511 in India, or +44 7624 801423 in other countries). You'll receive a response asking for a user name, and confirmation after you've done so. Alternately, you can sign up to follow me at my Twitter page, or add me to your follow list if you're already signed up. My Twitter username is @hamsterwatch. If you have a smartphone, you can also use any of a number of Twitter apps from Twitter or third parties to configure and receive updates to your phone. My latest Twitter messages will usually be shown on the top right of each page here on the site. You can see more of my updates at my Twitter page. These updates are free but you may be charged by your cell service provider to receive text messages or to access Twitter apps so check your service plan. To stop receiving updates, text leave hamsterwatch to the same number as above, or "unfollow" me on my Twitter page. I can't remove you from my follow list: you must opt out. Depending on what's going on in the habitat, I might send Twitter updates (tweets) at any hour, including overnight. You can temporarily turn cell phone updates off or on, or set times to block updates by completing your account at Twitter if you're only receiving my text updates. Twitter accounts are free and they don't sell or distribute phone numbers or email addresses. If you're signed up but are not receiving my text alerts, log in to your Twitter account at www.twitter.com/yourusername, then go to my Twitter page at www.twitter.com/hamsterwatch. If it doesn't say you're following me, click Follow, then make sure it says device updates are on if you want updates to your phone. Alternately, if you want to stay on my list but not get my alerts on your phone, you can turn device updates off there. If you Reply to my tweets, your replies will be seen by everyone who follows you and also follows me. I don't interact a lot on Twitter from my hamsterwatch account due to time constraints, however you can follow my personal Twitter account at @neonne for more interaction and chat on a wider array of topics than Big Brother. MY TEXT UPDATES WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS so don't sign up for them if you want to wait for the CBS shows to see what happens. I can't promise to send every bit of news as soon as it happens but will do my best to send updates about nominations, evictions, competition outcomes, and so forth. I'll also keep you updated about endurance comps and other "big stuff" as it happens. Chat help Please read and abide the guidelines posted on the chat page. If you're having problems registering or joining the chatroom, be sure you have Java installed. It's free and can be downloaded here. Also you may need to disable your pop-up blocker, especially to register or retrieve a lost password. Holding the Ctrl key while clicking either link will usually do the trick. Right-click a user name in the room list to ignore that person. Please do not announce to the room when you've ignored someone as that defeats the purpose of the ignore function. Click another chatroom to move to it. User names in the room list will show when that person is typing or when they are on Away status. The chatroom is intuitive and easy to use. With the toolbar you can add emoticons, change font size, clear the chat screen, toggle timestamps, launch this help page, or log out. Right-click anywhere in the chat area to access the toolbar commands, change the font face, or toggle audio. Click another person's nick in the chat area to copy that nick to the typing area. When someone else types your nick, it will show in red to get your attention and may make a sound depending on your audio settings. The chatroom has a copy/paste function but it doesn't always work properly.. check that what you've pasted is what you wanted before hitting Enter. Alternately you can also use Ctrl+c to copy and Ctrl+v to paste. Please use the "screenname rule" when chatting: refer to people by their chat nick even if you know their real name, as they have chosen to use a nick instead. Forum help Please read and abide the guidelines posted in the forum as well as any board-specific guidelines. Follow the same common sense guidelines posted above for the chatroom. You have to register to use the forum, and registration will be held only during pre-announced times due to massive spam problems. Watch my Twitter and/or Links of the Day on the sidebar to know when these open registrations will take place. If you'd like to register at other than an open registration period, send me a message on Twitter, Facebook, or hop into the chatroom - I'll be there most evenings. Once you register, you'll have to respond to an email that your registration request generates before you can post - please check your spam folder if you don't receive it. If you have problems registering or receive "Access forbidden" messages during the registration process, let me know - preferably in the chatroom, or via Twitter or Facebook. Include your username, and I can activate your registration manually. The forum is intuitive to use and works like most other message boards. You have a number of options to set up the way the boards, threads and so forth are displayed, according to your preferences. Instructions to do all these things are in the forum. Contact Unfortunately, I'm just not able to keep up with email during the season. If you need to contact me, please do so on Twitter, Facebook, or drop into the chatroom. While I hugely appreciate the many nice emails and kind words I've received over the years, I just don't have the time to respond to them all when the season's underway. As much as I'd like to, I can't get involved in one-on-one exchanges about the hamsters or happenings on the feeds. Please use the chat and/or forum - that's what they're there for :) I gladly add friends to my Facebook provided the requesting profile doesn't suggest spam will follow. I've pretty much let my my MySpace go dormant. |
