We're not gone...just steppin' out. See yas later in the month!  Hey, is anybody there? Cuz, like, we've gotten no feedback or email from listeners...  :-)

Dear Libsyn, Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

Big Brutha Luva is back in the iTunes store with the same feed we've always had. That means, if you've subscribed before, all of the podcast episodes will still be in the same spot and will get automatically updated every week as we add episodes. blah blah blah. It's the small victories, People!

GREAT episode tonight! Seems like 12, er, 13, are too few but they look like a pretty good crew so far! I guess the cliques are as good as any team. The geeks, I mean, brainiacs, shouldn't be too discouraged as they'll have their time to shine.

Babe and I watched the show together and my thoughts are that I like Russel more cuz we find out he's an MMA fighter! Woot! My secret obsession is staying up late at night to watch UFC, WEC and MMA. He needs more ink though. Those guys are really tatted up!

We record our first podcast episode tomorrow night and I will get it posted on Saturday sometime.

Our feed to iTunes does work, I can even Unsubscribe and Subscribe, but the podcast isn't in the Store. huh? Never fear, you can grab the MP3 from this webpage when it gets posted. Will keep yas updated. Our good friends at Libsyn are working on it for us.

Thx to you guys that have been looking for us...Dumblonde, Mick, Jenn from North Carolina, Joyceann.  We've got "Followers" too on Twitter. Hi to Blacky and Joyceann!

BB11!  Welcome July!

-mimi

Ok, this blog is reactivated, the iTunes feed is hot (I hope), Babe is signed on to do the podcast. New addition to the Babe and Mimi podcast, Heiney, is signed on, and so am I!  We've all been tasked to study the HG bios and come prepared to record our first podcast episode for BB11 either on friday or Saturday next weekend.

Woot Woot!!

Please leave a comment if you've seen this, are excited for BB11, are excited to share the season with us, tell us what you had for dinner...

omg. We are reactivating our podcast feed and website. lol  Stay tuned!

Well, I've been paying 5 bucks a month for half a year and will likely not podcast again. I am canceling my Libsyn account today and this page and all supported files will go *poof* into thin air... 

Nice knowing you guys. It was a wonderful, fun phase of our lives and we'll cherish it.

xo

P.S.
I know no one is reading this. Just couldn't delete without a word...

They're here!  Big Brother 10 is awwwwwn (to quote Monica, BB2).  First impressions are that this is a very age-diverse group. considering Zach was a senior HG at 30, these guys are all near the 30 mark more than the 20 range. not that there's anything wrong with that....

Nobody knows each other. Nobody is an ex or a long lost sibling or has a twin hiding behind the storage room. No Chill Town bubbas or estranged family members. Ahhhhhh!!!!  back to the good ole days of Big Brother.  Let's hope for a great summer with no America Player gimmicks or producer finger-breaking or strong-arming influence to carry out a pre-designed storyline.

Let's hope for our favorite podcasts to come back (i.e. big brutha luva, sistah speak to name two!)

And last but not least, let's hope that the brutha luvas send emails or comments to babe and mimi so we can read them on our show!

We missed you guys and look forward to having some fun with y'alls.

Email us at babeandmimi@gmail.com!

Thx to Dumblonde!

Word has it over at Dumbscreen that the new HGs will be announced on The Early Show on Tuesday morning, July 8! Woo Hoo! The tour of the BB10 house will on Friday. Here we gooooooo......!

Rumor has it that cbs is announcing the BB10 Houseguests on July 9.  We will be closely looking at these guys.  If there's even a whiff of the crap they put up for BB9, I'm afraid for the future of big brutha luva. 

Stay tuned for a great season... fingers crossed, holding breath.

Add Dumbscreento your Big Brother bookmarks for this summer!

Wow!  We LOVED the Survivor Fans vs. Favs Finale!  This may have been one of the, if not THE, best season of Survivor yet! The finale was fantastic. What up w/ Parvati and Natalie..????  And who in the heck dressed beautiful Ozzy in that red giant v-neck tshirt??  He looked way better on the island!  Go Cirie. We were hoping she'd hook up some of that extra ca$h. James won it and that's good for us cuz he is one rock solid hink o'hunk o'man!  (Geez, I sound like a horn dog!);-)

Can't wait to record our next episode to talk about this finale and also BB Australia. There have been a couple evictions in the last week to catch up on.


Stay tuned.

Hey guys! Oh m'gosh, have we become one of the podcasts that I can't stand...when they stop recording and just never bother to update their site and let me, I mean, folks, know where they went, whuzzup, are they coming back etc etc etc.??

Well, this is what happened.... we hate BB9.  No, hate is strong word and one we don't "prefer" to use.  We watched the very first episode, peeked once or twice during American Idol commercials and never went back.  I was torn whether to put a podcast episode out and diss the show and give our opinions and what not but decided not to cuz I know alot of you guys are watching it and enjoying it. We don't want to tinkle on anybody's party.

There were a few problems with the winter edition of BB9. One of the big ones is timing. Summer is perfect to kick back and spend inordinate amounts of time following our houseguests via boards, live feeds, 3 shows/week, podcasts, HouseCalls, and recently BBAD. Its just a very different time of year during the school year. Kids in school, I'm in school and getting my ass kicked by projects etc etc.  I'm singing to the choir cuz you guys know what I mean.  Besides all that, its actually a really good tv season, LOST, AI, Survivor. I'm digging on Dexter now thats its on network tv. Too much good tv to catch yet still too much homework to crank out!

The other issue with BB9 is the....lap dance thing we saw on video (thanks DumbScreen!). It pushed us over that edge where you don't come back.

You know what I'm feeling right now...?  I'm feeling a podcast episode coming on!  :-) 
The more I flap my trap the more I miss you guys.

Thx to everybody that sent us messages and comments Tony Chen!  Snancy!  Jenn!  DB!  My niece Jessi!

Babe is booked this weekend but I'll see what we can toss together and say hi to y'alls.  We won't give up on y'alls cuz you guys haven't given up on us. <sniff> I love you guys, man!   lol  mimi

We're gonna watch Friday Night Lights tonight and record our first BB9 episode tomorrow. It'll be posted up by Sunday!

Not too sure what to make of this casting. Young, squeeky skinned, sparkly toothed, sex within only a week in the house...  Are they getting bonus $$ for doing that??
  Whaaa.....?

We'll break it down and talk about it.  Shouldn't be called BB9 though.  BB Special Winter Edition is more like it.  Don't taint my Big Brother...

...anybody there?

feb 12.

we hope to post a big brutha luva episode right after they post the HGs pix. 

are you guys into this feb edition of bb?  i'm not so sure yet but i'll def be onboard.  ...until i see the man behind the curtain.  cbs, just keep your curtain closed and let the entertainment unfold.  those hgs can do a fine job all on their own devices.

Here the tank top. I didn't know how to get two pix in one post.  duh.

-edit-
jan 1 update:  shirts came in. Emails sent, to those that ordered, with shipping info. thx guys!  ...babe wore hers all day today. i love mine!

older update: The order was (finally) put in and shirts should be in in a week or two. Will keep those that ordered updated on delivery. Thx guys! This was just an experiment and maybe as BB9 gets going we'll put another order in.

I'm on a never-ending quest to get Babe to sign on to do the BB9 Big Brutha Luva podcast!  I've decided to start showering her with gifts and compliments so I'm getting her a cool t shirt. 

She designed the black with light blue lettering on the short sleeve v-neck tee. I liked the brown tank with yellow lettering. Hot!

$23 for the tank and $25 for the tee, plus shipping.
Sizes: S,M,L,XL.  (XXL is 2 bucks more).

Email me at to lemme know if you want one.  I'll submit the order on the night of Wed Dec 5.

It's (sort of) official.  BB9 coming first week of February.  Now, they had to go and mess with my LOST life...

We hope to use the same iTunes feed so that there won't be any glitches.  …famous last words.

Well now, these writers are on strike and the word on the street is that CBS is scrambling to assemble a January version of Big Brother.  Now, is this a *real* BB or one of those *special* seasons kinda like Family Edition Amazing Race or those other (group) Biggest Loser shows they put on?  Even though BB never came soon enough for me, (I’ve complained that July was too late in the summer to start), but January??

 
I’ll have a talk w/ Babe about putting out a January edition of BB9 Big Brutha Luva. We will likely still bring BB9 Big Brutha Luva if, it does indeed launch.  We may not though if it’s something completely embarrassing like Celebrity BB or if something about the production smells stinky.  We miss you guys and look forward to shaking it all up again.  Stay tuned…      -mimi

Hey we’re active over at our MySpace page. Come see us there.

After a week or two off, Babe and Mimi are back in the saddle with our next podcast, called Babe & Mimi's The Biggest Loser podcast.  We'll be divulging a bit more about ourselves and hope that you guys join us and tell us about yourselves too. This new podcast is about gettin' it together to feel the best about ourselves and to get ready for that looming, impending holiday season. Oh yeah, and we talk about the NBC show The Biggest Loser, which is a kick-butt time. Watch as those Losers transform their lives and go to space they never thought they could attain. Cool stuff! We'll be spinning some mashups too so come check out the music, us talk about the Losers and our own journeys to newfound health. ...C'mon now! www.babeandmimi.com

We've referred all season to "The Board". So, as promised, here it is.  It was very helpful in our discussions and breakdowns of what had happened in the Big Brother house. Who woulda thunk Dick and Danielle would've been sitting on the top of that heap??

I had printed a whole bunch of sheets of pix of the group of HGs and today I cut the very last picture I had for Danielle. Good thing she didn't win HOH this week!

Also in the pic is The Smoke Monster, aka "art". If you look at it long enough, your past will be revealed and unfolded before you (a la LOST). hehe
