BB Housecalls Canceled - Alternatives Popping Up for BB11

[MFWalkoff]

Since CBS has decided not to do Housecalls this coming season, Real.com has decided to give space to BB8's bull-elephant Evel Dick, and BB All-Star Janelle, to do a "He Said/She Said" style blog/vlog covering the season 11 live feeds for SuperPass subscribers.

Dick will work from LA while Janelle will work from NYC. Apparently they will trade blog comments back and forth, and do interviews. In his MySpace blog, Dick babbles on about all the other cool things they will do, half of which I wonder is a product of his delusional whims:

I have had so many people asking me what is up for me this BB season...

I figure I will tell everyone all at once and save myself the carpal tunnel....So hold on to your panties, this will be a long, blabbering, ranting blog.

Ready?

I will be doing my weekly webcast for Real Player again this year.

RealPlayer Superpass has given me my own tab in their browser, which will closely link my website and my myspace etc... They have been great to work with and our relationship is solid.

I have some fun guests lined up and we will be out on locations more this season, we will also have more past houseguests....

The viewers were out in huge numbers for the show last year and I don't see any reason why that would change.

But I will also be doing a weekly webcast with Janelle to fill the void left by the Cancellation of Housecalls.

It will be a call in show that will talk about the feeds and anything and everything else going on in the house and being talked about on the internet.

I will be in studio while Janelle will be in NYC, but will be as good as sitting next to me co-hosting the show (well, as good as for you people, but I am getting jipped.)

We will also be doing a "He said, She said" type blog or column.

Where one week I will start off by writing my summary/thoughts/opinion on the happenings of the week in the Big Brother house. I will send it to Janelle where she will then write her opinion/feelings/thoughts about MY writings. It will come back to me, where I will write my thoughts on her response, then back to her.

The next week she will start. I will respond. She will respond to my response. I will respond and wrap it for the week. Ok, did you follow that? lol...Basically we both comment twice. We will take turns starting it off every week.

I had a very long, fun talk with Janelle just a few days ago and we were batting ideas back and forth and thought it would be a lot of fun to do these two things together (although I had a couple more things I'd like to do with her.)

I have spoken with some people about both, the call in show with Janelle and the blob/column with Janelle and are talking to them now, but I will be speaking with more people about finding the appropriate home for each.

I am looking for sponsors for the Real Player show. The more money brought in means that we will be able to do more things with the show.

The fact that he stll needs to line up sponsors makes me skeptical about how epic this endeavor will end up being. He also talks about lining up sponsors for a huge post-season BB party he wants to host in Las Vegas.

Hopefully Janelle will get to say three words at some point this summer, and will be able to handle Dick's crass comments and lewd sexual advances with her usual grace and poise.

I bet you did, bub.

I'd much prefer Kaysar and Janelle (), but I can deal with Dick. Janie can handle him.

Cool! I'm glad they are doing SOMETHING in place of Housecalls!

[bbnbama]

OMG...2 of my absolute faves...

I, again, won't be getting the live feeds so I will have to live vicariously thru FORT.

Will there be some way I can read/keep up with the Evel Dick/Janelle stuff without having the Superpass/Live Feeds?

[JustJuls]

It sounds like you have to have real player ....but I'm sure someone will copy it and post it. Maybe we could have a thread here for it

[stacerace]

I don't know about anyone else but I've had enough of these two. I can stand Janie when she's with Kaysar because he keeps her in line but I don't like who she is by herself and who she becomes when she with ED.

[norealityhere]

I thought Dick was kind of funny when he was on.
But, I just never understood the love for Janelle.

[JustJuls]

For me....I loved Janelle because she broke the stereotype. At the beginning of her season I didn't like her much. I figured....great...here comes the dumb blonde (sorry blondes ) but then she kicked butt on all the challenges and all the girls were jealous of her and all the boys loved her. Well except Cappy Anyway...I adore her!

[stacerace]

I liked Janie in S6 OK but she was really annoying in S7 and has been really annoying since. Kaysar is the only one that doesn't let her get away with it.

In other substitute-Housecalls news, Ross Mathews from The Insider will get first crack at evicted houseguest online interviews, since his studio is across the street from the BB house.

Ugh, I'm a gay man with many flamboyant friends, but Ross Mathews gives me the hives sometimes. That VOICE! Lawd-a-mighty...
