Pay for Live Feeds

See I'm torn. I think it could be fun to get a real time view of everything, especially if there is a fight, but some of them convos probably boring as hell lol ... but that would also take away a lot of the suspense and mystery that makes blogging fun because I always like to be surprised when I open up a nom ceremony or the Eviction results. Also, it's fun trying to piece together who is working with who and what could potentially be happening.

Also, I probably wouldn't trust people with this lol. Like I could see one of these sneaky players that thinks they're slick getting a friend to pay and come tell them who's working with who and stuff. Yes, that might be a reach and likely to maybe not happen, but chile I don't put anything past some of these people anymore lol 🤭

Tbh after having just hosted a game, I rarely even read most of the rooms bc there were just too damn many lmao I think this is a really cute idea in theory, but i wouldn’t put it past some of the players doing what Terri Joe said.

I think it’s fine with the right people but there are a lot of people in the community who still deny/pretend that they have not done anything sketchy even when you have evidence suggesting otherwise. If you can’t trust them with things that you do know about, makes it harder to trust them with things you DON’T know about. A lot of people don’t realize that a lot of people end up slipping up sooner or later. It might not be immediately after but it could be weeks, months, etc after a game wraps up and people come out to reveal some of their antics. I would only really recommend it if it’s a specific group of people. You could always do something cute like “winners get live feed access to subsequent seasons” but even then people might go crazy with it. So even then it’s kinda iffy.

I’m poor SKSKKSKS and I know that I fall behind on catching up when it gets later in the game so I wouldn’t pay I don’t think

I’m a personal fan of just a select group of people, some people are trustworthy, others aren’t. To know who is which, you’d kinda just have to know who has cheated in the past & who would consistently use it. For instance, I would not give my friend Morgan, who I trust with my entire being, feed access. Mainly because they’d never use it lol. I also wouldn’t give it to like 5 oomfs from BBE2 for the other reason

U read my mind !

With the right (small) group of people I think it could work. I did it for BBE and it was too overwhelming at the beginning that I was mostly just reading public threads but really fun during the jury phase.

As a host I see potential in it, I see it making the bloggers more involved, but as a player I would be 100% against outsiders having access & it would make me refrain at times. I don't even care if the hosts trust them, I know enough that most will spill stuff.

The worse is knowing stuff but having to shut up bc you will cause problems for someone else for spilling to you. It happened to me a lot in BBQ4 & other seasons after.

My thing is, I see zero problem with not telling the players, other bloggers, or anyone else that someone has feed access. We did that with BBQ9 and my blog was not only a big hit, but it didn't cause any issues with the cast either. I think treating this as anything bigger than simply an extra "prod" member but not a host is stupid and it causes way more problems than fixes.

If only 1-2 trusted is given it, then it shouldnt make anyone uncomfy or be mad. if info doesnt spill, then nobody can complain imo. people can grow up about being "uncomfortable" about it.
