Big Brothers Big Brother!

The surveillance staff in Los Angeles last night was eagerly awaiting the season premiere of Big Brother 8 on ABC. We only had two surveillance assignments ongoing and they were pretty minor. We had a recently released from Prison, alcoholic, mother of two who wanted custody of her children back but she hadn't left the house in three days (yes she was alive). So the Investigator on that assignment as well as myself and the supervisors in the command center viewing the streaming video back to the office did not expect much action. The other was a stake out of a 27 year old professional disability Claimant (one who lives off of money from injury lawsuits) who needed to be served with a subpoena and the client was hoping he would visit his family's house for the Holiday weekend because he had been overseas and unable to be served previously. So not much exciting there either.

I thought it was kind of humorous that us who monitor people with surveillance were also watching (and transmitting audio to the Investigators in the field) Big Brother, and I must say last year was my first year watching and I enjoyed. The rest of the staff have been lifelong fans and we all agreed that this year looks really good with the added drama of enemies being dropped into the fold. I can't wait to see what happens next! ha
