Welcome to the new design! I created this design way back in October when I last posted here and put on the back burner as other things in my life became a higher priority. Now that we are nearly 100 days away from the premiere of Big Brother 11 I thought I might as well get things rolling again.

I have many exciting new ideas that I’m going to implement this year so please return in the next couple of months and decide to choose RealityFire as your new Big Brother source.

While I was gone the site received 13,000 unapproved spam messages!  Jeesh! I had to go into the database manually to delete them all. Let that be a note to anyone else who doesn’t keep up with sites. I might have deleted some actual posts, so I am sorry if that happened.

What happened to the forums!?

There is no need for me to duplicate the success of other websites. So, I will be linking to a forum that I regularly participate in, Jokers Updates. I’ve come to know Jokerette and most of the Joker’s staff over the past year and think they deserve every damn user in the world. So go there, discuss away, then come back here for my insightful, witty, charming, and absolutely annoying commentary and news. Ok?

(BTW – I am thundercat2 over on the jokers message forums.)

What has happened in the World of Big Brother since I last posted?

Ok, so I’ve had this rule forever. What the houseguests do in their private lives is their own business. I’m not a huge fan of gossip websites that stalk these average people after the show. I find it distasteful, and distracting. Sure there are rapid fanatic types who need their Chiara (Big Brother 3) updates, but seriously, enough is enough.

That being said here are a few things that former houseguests have said publically shared (paraphrasing horribly btw).

- Dan (Big Brother 10) is doing motivational speaking. He broke up with his girlfriend Monica. And there have been many innocent encounters with Keesha.

- Keesha (Big Brother 10) has an off again/on again relationship with her boyfriend. Not sure exactly what that is about. Also, her and Renny have had a falling out. Keesha solicited her fans to voter her as Hooters girl of the year.

-Renny (Big Brother 10 ) has tried to sell everything in her closet and her neighbor’s closet on ebay.

- Jerry (Big Brother 10 ) has throat cancer and is getting treatment. I pray for a speedy recovery for him!

- Steven (Big Brother 10) has visited Kuwait, and plans on visiting Iraq very soon.

- Memphis (Big Brother 10) traded his car in for money. If you didn’t hear the story basically CBS didn’t own the car, so they settled on a cash prize instead. He is still giving out signatures to people I guess.

- April and Bryan “Ollie” (Big Brother 10) are still a couple. They both live in Arizona.

Speaking of couples..

- Jen and Nick (Big Brother are still together too.

Big Brother Australia:

The update for the next season is Big Brother is this: There isn’t going to be one this year. As you know Ten ended the current adaptation of Big Brother. At the time the hosts and everyone involved said that Big Brother would eventually be back, just not for a couple of years. This may turn out to be true. The latest rumor is that there might be a Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack series that would debut in 2010.

Big Brother UK:

Jane Goody passed away due to cancer.  She was a contestant on three Big Brother series, two set in the UK and one in India. Her death was publicized on international news.

Every year there are rumors of Big Brother UK’s demise – and that holds true this year as well. Everyone involved is saying that this year will be the last, but that is yet to be seen. I’m still holding out hope that they will convert to a US format which would be more successful in the UK.

As for rumors for Big Brother 11… expect the unexpected and same mix of casting from Big Brother 10.

I’ve been using BBReloader since Big Brother 6. One of the selling points for me is the ability to resize the window. It maybe the simplest feature, but I loath the bulky limitations of the Real Player viewer. I like being able to adjust the size of the feeds to match my current desktop configuration. And who doesn’t love the ability to record your favorite big brother moments or taking snapshots on the fly?

Why will you love the Reloader?
