Well, I got the call that Housecalls is done, CBS couldn’t find a sponsor to support the show. They told me that last season, and to be completely honest….
I thought they were full of shit. But, I guess they weren’t.
But that falls into the storyline of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”
I mean, how could they have a tough time selling sponsorships for the Big Brother 10 Season? They just came off the worst rated season in the shows history in the winter edition/writers strike season of BB9. But even though it was the worst TV ratings, it was record setting numbers for Housecalls (Thanks to all of you who tuned in…
and fuck you who didn’t…) They only tell you the ratings for your shifts while you are doing Housecalls, well they only told me my shifts, but did tell me that across the board that they were the biggest ratings… My shifts on Wed/Thurs the ratings trippled, getting us
OVER ONE THIRD OF THE TV AUDIENCE going online and watching me make all the producers sweat for their jobs every shift.
But whoever was selling the sponsorships that next season for BB10 (which I was told almost didn’t happen because of lack of a sponsor as well…) did a piss poor job selling the sponsorship for the show. I mean, worst TV ratings, best Housecalls ratings….
That is the selling point right there….
“Just wait until we have a regular audience this summer, if they can keep up that percentage, the show will break records for viewers!” Should have been their pitch. But who knows what the hell it was…
So here are my thoughts, reflexions and feelings about Housecalls….. Source (more…)

What’s been up? i haven’t written in a long time, I have been so busy and alot has been going on since we last talked or wrote. LOL
I’ve been pretty good overall considering I lost my Grandma a month ago due to Cancer of the Liver. I loved her so very much:( She was a HUGE influence in my life and pretty much my mom. I’m not as close to my own mom as I was with my Grandma so it has been tough these past few weeks. Monday my family and I are all taking Grandmas ashes to be buried next to my Grandpa in Portland. It’s hard to believe she is gone physically. I will miss her greatly and know her spirit is living in me.
On a brighter side I just got back from the Big Brother Reunion in Rainbow, Oregon. It’s about 2 hours south from where I live:) 15 houseguests went: BB9: Me, representing where it’s at! Alex, Parker, Chelsia.BB10 Brian,Michelle, April.BB6: James, Janelle, Howie,Beau, Ashlea. BB8: Kail, Joe. BB5:Cowboy.
We had a blast!! I made sure I gave everyone crap about being in MY state!! I would say things like “would you look at the size of those trees” , “Do you smell that fresh air!” and boy did they!! Parker kept smelling the air, Chelsia couldn’t believe how green Oregon is and Howie keptlooking for Bigfoot:)LOL
