thanks all for the kind words, I really appreciate it

the chatroom here had a little more activity than earlier seasons - lots of people during live shows and endurance challenges, and relatively quiet the rest of the time although we usually had half a dozen or more in there most evenings, so that was fun - thanks everyone who participated

Twitter definitely changed this season though! I was the first BB site on there back to BB8, and I was one of the few tweeting BB since then, but this year with Twitter's media explosion, most everyone found their way there - sites, former hamsters, and thousands of fans.. I think it definitely made a dent in BB forum activity and it was nice to have a common meeting ground.. the competition between sites, while it was there on Twitter like it always is everywhere, wasn't nasty or even very visible
