Hey Rob and Nicole, I'm listening now, and I agree with both of you on the Rachel issue, she makes Big Brother SO MUCH BETTER (<- Screaming in the DR), but she was such a self centered bitch that it makes me glad shes gone. I think that Rob should stop calling out Nicole for being mean to Brendon if hes gonna be mean to Kathy. She is pretty useless but every season they have that character on the show, Cowboy BB5, Chicken George and Erika BB7, Zack and Jomeka BB8, Ollie BB10 (except in the hoh room with April haha). Both Rob and Nicole should be able to bash freely. Rob I also loved the part also where Ragan and Brittney fought with Brendon. That was awesome! I HATED when Julie told Rachel she might see more of the house, and Rob they also brought James back in BB9. I hope you can get a past BB houseguest, but you two are phenominal. I want you to know this hiatus without your podcast was awful. I love each week knowing i'm going to be getting your podcast. Thanks so much for entertaining my car rides for the past couple months. I really appreciate it,
J.P.
and PS this is an idea for an off season show which idk if you (Rob) would ever do, Just from a survivor fan if you ever did a show with Jenna Morasca talking about some stories or experiences for the Amazon, us hardcore survivor fans love stuff like that, Just a thought…

Hi Rob & Nicole

Every 3 seasons they bring back a Big Brother contestant…

Amy – BB3
Kaysar – BB6
James – BB9
?????? – BB12

By the way, about Kathy — I think Big Brother casted her because every season (usually) they have a semi-attractive older woman in the house … who turns out to be good entertainment… (i.e. Sheryl BB2, Tonya BB3, Kail BB8, Sheila BB9, Renny BB10) … most of them have been hit or miss in entertainment value.

Keep up the good work!

Matt's wife did say she was trying to help him out with the letter, sorry Nicole…I hate when you are wrong, but you are :(

So this is kind of oldish/some newish but what I read on feed updates you might be interested to know because the show leaves out so much:
-Rachel's floaters HOH win, Regan threw it when it was Rachel vs. Regan on question. He sits in the hamack at night and talks to the people watching the feeds/laying out situations that could happen, and he said it would be best if Rachel or Brendon won that week because they would not go after him and then next week people would still be going after B/R so if he wore a navy blue long sleeve shirt on eviction day, then he was throwing the comp, and he did wear one.

It was actually Regan that first in a way figured out the brigade without knowing it. I don't know why they did not show that at all. During Rachel's HOH he was talking to her in the room and telling her it would be best to keep Kristen because if she really looked around the house, about who hangs out/who would have each others back is Hayden/Lane/Enzo. He said if Hayden stayed he would have Lane/Enzo behind him, if Kristen stayed, she would have no one. At one point Rachel kind of saw the light about it, but it faded.

Enzo has Brendon and so does Hayden now, but Enzo more. Before eviction they (house) wanted to pretend that Brendon was the one that would go home, and then blindside them by sending Rachel home to throw Brendon off in the HOH comp. Enzo went and told Brendon to gain his confidence that Rachel was the actual one going home.

The brigade is splitting and starting to have different opinions about who the final 6 and even 4 should be, this has happened over the last 3 days, so they might show it Sunday, if not I will leave it in next podcast comments. Do not count the drama out for them!

Ohhh Rachel….she does those mean comments for TV. The bring it one was planned out for TV, but made her look bad to the house even though she went around saying, “Sorry I am just doing it for good TV” but it still left bad impression on everyone.

Final feed one: They all do “Jedi training” together which is weird..If you get a BB guest I would like to know if they did it with their alliance or everyone. They go through the dates/events together, quizzing each other about each other also for quiz HOH. BUT Matt throws out random wrong facts about himself to throw people off in hopes they will get a question wrong.

Random fact you might find interesting that Britney talked about: Her mom got through the auditions for the first season of “Survivor,” and was in the same group as Rudy and Richard.

“The golden comment of the week” could be the name.

JS2: Vinny is my favorite. Snooki is boring because has a boyfriend and isn't out looking for juice heads. I think Sammy is so boring and her/Ronnie left I would not care. Angelina is not that bad this season.

Hi rob and Nicole great to see u back from ur hiatus. First off live this two show podcasting type thing. First off rob I really miss the Rachel laugh button. Second off all I hate to say this But Ronnie and sammi will be returning for Season 3 . The only non returning castmate is robs new favorite Angelina. Appearently someone threw a bag of weed at her in Miami.she is being replaced by a girl named Deena which I found funny because the only other Deena I know is the one who was on robs season of survivor. Also I don't know if u heard this but (spoiler) snookie got arrested in nj last week. (end of spoiler) I thought you guys would also find it funny to know I sawsnookie on the boardwalk the other day and let me just say she is the size of a fourth grader. As I walked by I did adouble take and as I was about too say hi her bodyguard told me to go away.
Well anyway great podcast keep up the work.

Welcome back Rob and Nicole!

Following up on what Cjfast11 said, the only new cast member for season three is a girl named Deena Nicole Cortese who tried out for the first season but is also a friend of Snooki's. My guess is that Angelina leaves.

Don't know if you you guys have seen these but: http://www.mtv.com/shows/jersey_shore/season_2/…

Also I did a quick google search on “Jay420.” I think you'll find this hysterical. By the way he goes by Dr. Jay420:

Ronnie got arrested for unpaid parking tickets today.

guys… WELCOME BACK! this may be my favorite podcast ever… for a coupel of reasons….
(1) first off, absence makes the heart go fonder…. you were missed so now that your back, i was loving hearing you guys again. so that being said, keep up the great work! and

(2) i feel from your tone and what you said about JS2, that the honeymoon might be over…. of an hour and 20 minute podcast, only 25 minutes (actually less than that in aggregate) could be devoted to it, so it sounds to me like it cant carry a podcast on its own. it just sounded to me like maybe the show is losing its lustre… which to haters like me is a very good thing.

thanks for your efforts as always…. even though JS sucks. and when you stop podcasting it from lack of interest not only due to listeners not caring, but you guys losing interest in the show…. dont worry, you wont hear an “i told you so” from me… even though i fully expect you to throw it in my face when the Jets destroy the Bills this year. ;)

YES to Hard Knocks!

Ok Rob and Nicole the secret alliance in the house is……. Matt and Enzo have a finale 2 deal with each other. The order in which the brigade goes is:
1. Enzo
2. Matt
3. Hayden
4. Lane
5. Brittany (lol)

I know alot of people have been wondering the order so…
Oh and while you guys were gone rachel and brendon had sex before she was evicted. Pretty juicy right?

Do you watch the live feed at all?

Hayden is clearly top dog at the moment. He has Final 2 deals with Lane and Enzo (and everyone else in the house bar Matt and Ragan). Everyone in the house loves him, even those who he has been plotting to get rid of for weeks. You'd never realise it if you just watched the 3 shows a week but he has played a fantastic game recently and looks like the favourite to win at the moment. That could, and probably will, all change of course. Matt is the 4th member of the Brigade. The rest of them don't trust him at all and have actually been plotting to get him nominated and then evicted for a while now. Britney hasn't been the unofficial 5th member of the Brigade for like a month. Kathy and Brendon have been vying for that role recently, Enzo changes his mind every couple hours so its hard to say who they plan on taking with them currently. Not that Enzo has much say in anything, Hayden has to follow him round alot of time to stop him from doing anything stupid as the guy can't keep his mouth shut.

This doesn't count as spoilers does it? I wasn't sure whether its just the competitions/nominations that you don't want us talking about before they have been shown on tv or game talk as well.

PS – Congratz on the wedding, sounds like you two had a great time. Also I agree with the previous poster who asked if you could do some more carcasts, too much happens between podcasts so a carcast where you answer some of the comments on here helps to fill the gap.

I see a lot of similarities in Matt's Big Brother game and your Survivor game. Just weaving through multiple alliances seamlessly, while controlling the entire game very subtly. Do you agree with that?

“A pre-Nicaragua Podcast” not “AN pre-Nicaragua podcast” (for the grammar police out there)
(Sorry, English is NOT my first language, and I'm a little drunk)

Rob it seens like all the new reality show players are more concered about the post show stuff than actually playing the game there's too much bullshit talk on big brother about what will happen after the show even enzo whom i think is solid on the show talking about wanting to make a movie and worried about if america likes him and matt wanting to do the brigade t-shirts back in the day im sure you never played worried the future are these new player all media whores ?
