Thank you, both of you

It's not too bad technologically-speaking to watch from the US. I use Hola VPN's desktop app. The sacrifice is I give a little bit of bandwidth for others to use my American bandwidth so they can connect also, which I'm on a fiber connection. Otherwise it allows me to watch for free... I'm sure there's some limitation as far as how much I can watch, but I've not hit that limit just watching the live show, live feed and rewatching any episodes I may need to rewatch... it works really well and have had zero issues with it since discovering that method.


In some ways, it's more convenient for me that it's midday. So about 2-3pm... we're off from each other about an hour for about a week as we do our daylight savings on different dates. If it were in "real time" 9-10pm here, I'd really struggle. I'm usually tired by 7-8 these days with my current schedule...

The nice thing locally about being in Central time is most late evening shows are an hour earlier than in the Eastern timezone, so I get to enjoy the best stuff a bit earlier ... that's a real perk for me.. and shows like the Bachelor/DWTS would be even earlier than that so we used to enjoy a late dinner with the family while getting our daily dose of drama... I'm allergic to drama and OTT nonsense in my real life, so this is my vitamin/supplemental fix...

Do you watch any of the Bravo shows Maru? I'm a sucker for VPR, RHOBH, Summer House etc

……I’d forgotten actually that I was going to be travelling on Friday so won’t be able to post this week’s winner(s) in the afternoon…so I’ll close this a day early and the closing date will now be tomorrow at midday…sorry about that and taking 24 hours away, I’d forgotten to check if I would be here at Friday lunchtime…

vesavius - Found myself agreeing with some of their posts, contributed alot on BB. Not afraid to give an opinion or thought .They have an amusing way with words aswell.

Maru- Level Headed insightful conversation, I always feel like I should grab a cup of tea and relax when I read one of Maru's posts . Interesting hearing about their own experiences aswell.


Abra - Nice to see them online again for BB . Passionate
member. I've enjoyed their honest approach.

…I’ll get on it at high noon to post week 2 results and then week 3 nominations can follow straight after…I was going to have a 24 hour pause and then start it again on Friday, to keep inline with the regular Friday end and start each week …but it really makes no difference so people can vote as soon as this week’s result is posted in the early afternoon…

[Kate!]

Ok cheers Ammi.

AnnieK - Enjoying her BB input, I find her very objective with her opinions
Maru - For noticing the annoying "It's giving" malarkey
Vesavius - Always has well thought out posts and arguments, I don't always agree with him(?) but I enjoy his posts regardless

[GoldHeart]

Ray & Garfie well done

[Adamw92]

Zizu - for the passionate Ali defence all week

Glenn - for having some very sane opinions, don’t think I’ve disagreed with anything he’s said so far this series.

AnnieK - such a genuinely sweet poster!

[Kate!]

Zizu. Again for the Ali devotion and enthusiasm.
Vesavius. I like Vesavius, he's an articulate, firm but fair poster.
Goldheart. For her consistently very witty posts.

I usually watch shows that other people watch, if that makes sense. Like Bachelor/DWTS has a big following. My grandmother used to love that show when she was with us and it was crazy to follow it with the age divide. Like imagine having conversations with the elderly about which Bachelor is the best/least impressive... The same thing with DWTS, it's very accessible to a wide audience here.

I don't have cable anymore as I'd dropped it years ago, but when I did watch Bravo, TLC, etc it was whatever was on. I liked to watch Storage Wars, for some unknown reason when it was on... probably because it was something husband & I could get into.

The only shows I liked to really watch by myself were "personality" shows, so if I liked a certain celebrity, I might watch them... especially if they were into some kookie stuff, like an odd religion, etc.

Zizu..it was fun but she's gone friday.

Glitteruk, short and sweet and to the point.

Elliebrew..dont post much, but wow when they do.

[Benjamin]

vesavius - always a brilliant post from them, many of which crack me up.

AnnieK - Great contributor and lovely. She’s lucky she’s getting this vote after refusing to move my mushroom thread. I feel viciously attacked.

Maru - love having Maru on the forum and enjoy their posts and thoughts about BB.
