It can be very frustrating sometimes. For example, BB might keep all 4 feeds on the same group of people in the backyard -- covering them from different angles -- when you know that there must other things going on in the house.
Also, since you can only watch one feed at a time, it's possible to miss something happening on one of the others. From reading some live feed reports, apparently one of the feeds did, in fact, switch in time to catch

I'm on the live feeds, although it's been fairly boring until last night, and I missed all of last night's big, big events.
Yeah, the feeds are on 24/7, but you can still miss a lot of things... If the producers are dealing with a touchy situation-- things they know they'll never put on the TV and/or don't want documented on the 'net--they often switch to the static "front of house" view, or simply show empty rooms... They also do this at trivial and annoying times, like when someone starts to sing a copyrighted tune, or starts doing anything that panics the live feed monitor: being slanderous, discussing illegal activity, etc...
Yes, one person has been removed from the show.
Unless you're a 100% total purist, it's probably safe to read the following. I'll summarize it here in the most general way I can figure out.
I expect that the removal will be painted as a result of the initial outburst, but there has been much, much more going on. The aftermath was far more traumatic than the event.

And just yesterday, people were saying the game was boring.
Any takers on who's going to have the next big meltdown?

This was the best thing that could happen to the show, IMO. It's really shaken things up and the Elite 8 alliance is now officially dead. (Many members of that alliance were already looking for a way out of it -- including HOH Nathan -- but no one wanted to be the first one to break it.)
Now, it'll be interesting to see who gets voted out this week, if, in fact, they still have an eviction. An awful lot of scheming went on in the aftermath of last night, but, from what I saw, there hasn't been agreement between members of some of the sub-alliances on how to proceed.
Yeah, it's starting to look like this season won't be a disappointment, after all.

Who said it was boring? But when everyone is unlikeable, as seems to be the case, who do you root for? Or do you just hope for an entire summer with these kinds of antics? Dana is even more annoying than Scott. Jun too. Allison too. Etc.
This whole episode should make you focus on one person (hatman) and, instead, I can't stop thinking (with horror) of a tearing Allison running right to the toilet with brush in hand scrubbing until her hands start to bleed before breaking down again because she thought her boyfriend might be watching her only later to hop in bed with Nathan.
If there was this kind of drama from strangers and maybe 4-5 of them who were likeable there would be some balance.

Speaking of same... this is probably the most interesting thing that is going to happen all season. Does anybody think that CBS will show it? I'll be they wuss out like they did last season with JUSTIN and the knife...

Scott's a mental case. Hopefully this will make BB think twice before pulling something stupid like this again. Notice how they didn't air any of the genital warts stuff? I guess they didn't want to taint the show with any sexual nastiness.
Allison sure seems to have stopped worrying about her boyfriend, hasn't she? Or should I say ex-boyfriend?
I loved Jun critiquing everybody's looks. Uh, hey babe, may want to turn the mirror on yourself and critique your own flabby ass and pockmarked face. I don't mean to be cruel, but c'mon, who the hell is she to critique others like that?

But yeah, the whole time I was thinking, "who is she to judge?" But heck, I'd still hit it!

Yeah I dont think I have ever shook my head as much as when Jun was critiquing everyone! I felt like throwing up when they showed her in that bathing suit with that gut flopping over, not to mention those nasty pancakes!

They edited that part about the warts. C'mon, that is stuff we need to know about.

What do they expect people to do in the house...There's no television, no music, no Internet, and you can't even be by yourself for 10 minutes unless you are in the bathroom. Of course frustrations are going to bowl over.
I'm not saying Scott should have stayed, but all he did release some pent up rage. There was no other outlet for it. It's not like he could've went to his room, popped on his favorite CD and took his mind off it. He couldn't turn on the television and watch his favorite show. Again, I'm not condoning the outburst, but it's definitely understandable.

Hey if you cant take it dont sign up for the show. I dont recall any of the past guests from previous seasons throwing chairs because they couldnt hack it. The guy is a baby pure and simple, no understanding from me.

Well, that was anti-climatic. The way you guys were hyping this "It'll be all over the news!!!" I thought somebody went nuts and slayed all the other houseguests or something.

Yeah, Jack's a pro at using people's pride against them. I do hope he sticks around for at least a couple of months. It should be interesting to see if Jack can really push the right buttons to make him seem benign enough to keep slipping by week after week.
I was rolling my eyes when Jun was giving the critiques on the faces/bods of the girls in the house. She needs to start looking at her own face/bod in the mirror before making those statements.
Dana is pretty annyoing, in a hyper-reactive sort of way. Man-Troll...hahaha.
Poor Jee and that haircut from hell.
Hopefully some of you have seen those screencaps of underaged Michelle looking bummed as everyone else in the house is boozing it up over the weekend. That's got to seriously suck, being 19 with all that booze in the house.
