Thanks for the info, I didn't know I was posting a questionable source! I hope it is NOT true about a Blood vs. Water thing, and about Frank returning... I would hate BOTH of those things.

Interesting article about BB16, including: - this season will feature a new "Scarlet Veto" twist - it will be similar to Survivor’s Blood Vs. Water theme, and will feature teams of relatives living in the house this summer. - Frank Eudy (BB14) will be returning with his father, Sid Vicious Full article available here: http://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2014/big-brother-16-frank-eudy-sid-vicious-cast-scarlet-veto/

The Live Feeds are the best, cheapest on-line entertainment for the summer if you are a Big Brother fan! You won't regret it... well actually, you might at some times regret it because you may find yourself addicted and glued to your screen! If, like me, you live a few hours away from the West Coast time zone, you will find yourself staring at your monitor at 10:00 in the morning yelling at the houseguests to GET UP AND START ENTERTAINING ME! because they stay up until all hours of the night and then usually sleep in. So when it's mid- to late-morning in the Midwest, it's still hours until the houseguests get up. But boy, once they're up, it's show time! What's really fun is getting to see and hear all the scheming, plotting, whispering, and back-stabbing... way more than ever makes the cut to one of the episodes. You get to watch them wait around for hours after the HOH competition, waiting for Big Brother to call the newly-crowned HOH to the Diary Room to give him/her the key to the HOH bedroom so that everyone can troop upstairs to feign interest. You get to learn in almost real-time who won the POV, what he/she ended up doing with the POV, who are the haves/have nots and what they get to eat for the week, etc. Last year I saw the epic bed-flipping showdown unfold live between Aaryn/GinaMarie and Candice, including when Howard bodily removed Candice from the scene and Amanda went on a tirade against Aaryn/GinaMarie, and I remember thinking, "They better show that on the next episode!", and of course they did Oh yeah, and it's really fun when the live episode ends with an endurance HOH competition, because soon after the live episode ends and the feeds start back up, you can continue to watch the competition and learn the outcome long before it gets edited and aired. It's also fun to watch the feeds because there are thousands of other fans logged in watching them with you and you can chat with them on-line about the events as they unfold. Sometimes past houseguests show up in the chat and add their two cents in (Shelly Moore from BB13 hung out with us a lot last season) One thing that can make it frustrating is how the Live Feeds will cut out when a houseguest is caught talking about production or about their Diary Room sessons or singing songs, all of which are against the rules. But all in all, it is a ton of fun if you are a huge fan like me. :)

Like you said, assuming that a machete is a given, I would definitely bring a firestarter. A cooking pot would also be nice, but it is possible to make one out of something found in the environment. Without a fire you have no warmth and no drinkable water.

Jeff Zausch and Eva Rupert test their survival skills in the harsh desert of Madagascar's Massif D'Isalo

This is my favorite new show, too. I won't even walk barefoot in my own backyard, so watching people strip naked and try to survive in a harsh environment with no food and water is something I can't tear myself away from!
