Watch Big Brother 13 on SuperPass! Hamsterwatch
SITE HELP & INFO
I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
This site is about the Big Brother 13 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

BB13 FAQ
Duos were reinstated for one week after Porsche opened Pandora's Box.

Brendon was revived a week after eviction after apparently beating the other three evictees to date in a CBS poll, and beating August 11 evictee Lawon in a live ball-chute comp.

They called Adam's elf Cruddy and his beardless look Phillip.

Brendon's knees got messed up from the food comp with the ant costumes.

They called Dominic PT for pre-teen, a running gag about how young he looks, and/or part-time, referring to his modeling career.

Nominations & veto were pairs-based until there were 10 left.

The evictee's surviving partner got one of four Golden Keys, meaning they couldn't be nominated or play for HOH until there were 10 left.

Dick left mysteriously, off the feeds, due to 'personal reasons' per him and CBS. We may never know the full story.

CBS shows air Sundays and Wednesdays at 8pm, and live eviction Thursdays at 9pm

Big Brother After Dark airs 1-4am Thursdays and 12-3am other nights, on Showtime in USA and Global Reality in Canada

BB13 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. The BB veterans probably get more.

The habitat has 52 cameras and 95 microphones.

The recorded Big Brother in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman.

All feeds stay on one 'scene' when someone's in Diary.

The feeds

The 24/7 live feeds are the real Big Brother 13 show and what differentiates it from all other reality shows. The feeds are available through a Real Networks SuperPass subscription. You can opt for quarterly or monthly billing - both include a free trial. Please read the disclosures and agreements when you sign up. Subscriptions ordered through my links help me keep the site going, including free trials.

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!

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 you Reply to my tweets, your replies will be seen by everyone who follows you and also follows me.

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.
