By now, we all seem to know what the BB rules of the house are. But when the HGs sing, BB does not seem to do anything but ask them to stop. What if they don't stop? What will happen? What could they sing just to be a pain in the ass to BB? Jenn was pissed at BB for telling her that she could destroy Dick's cigs and then they gave them back to him. Thanks to Jenn we know what happens when you eat when your are not supposed to. BB has set a precedent. All you get is one vote against you and you get to eat the rest of the time. Sounds like a good deal to me. What if you are not nominated? What do you get then? Will used to come up with better comps than BB came up with. They would ask him to stop trying to produce the show. What they really were doing was asking him to stop embarrassing them by being more creative. Is there a RULE against being creative? Julie tells people that they have 30 seconds to get out of the house once their name is read. What if they don't? What if they just sit there and ask for a re-count? Ask for each and every HG to tell them how they voted. How long would BB let it go till they sent someone in to physically pull someone out of the house? Wouldn't that be fun to watch? So I was thinking if I were in the house what would I do to piss BB off by not breaking the rules. How would I rally the other HGs to join me? Would it piss BB off if the guys didn't cut their hair or shave for the entire season? They would sure look grungy. How about if they all just kept whistling into their mics? Is that against the rules. So BB won't let us talk about what is said in the DR? How about we all don't say anything in the DR? How about we just speak in a robotic monotone voice and stare blankly to bring attention to the fact that we are being told what to say by BB? Anyone else have any creative and fun ideas? How would you stick it to BB for unfairly enforcing rules, making people say things in the DR that they do not want to say?

Oh I can think of all kinds of things! Just to start with, during the live show HOH competition, they are always tight for time and Julie gets rattled pretty easily. So when Julie cheerily asks if everyone understands the HOH competition rules, tell her that you're sorry but she'll have to explain them all over again a lot more slowly.

Hahaha - good one Jimmer. I like that. How about they ALL take more time to select their choices? Making Julie ask them all to choose. How about when a HG wins HOH they all agree that only the winner will go into the room. None of the others will go up to see it. That way BB can't edit that sequence at all.

I'm curious as to how much of this stuff is in their contract. Knowing CBS and California and our legal climate here I bet some of the silliest things are spelled out in detail.

I always liked it when the HGs knocked a sponsor. Like when they got Subway food and they said how much it sucked. LOL

2addicted- We're writing the Black Ops Manual for the HGs of next season here. There is NO WAY every single thing could be spelled out in a contract. Even our own laws in this country are always tested and called into question and open for interpretation. If BB can MAKE you talk in the DR, they can't MAKE you say anything that makes sense.

Jen's actions didn't effect the outcome of her fate.

Actually I think it's all about money, they know they can penalize them thru the stipend that they don't get until the show is over.

absolutely did. if BB hadnt changed their penalty FROM a penalty nom NEXT week, into an extra vote this week there was a HUGE chance that Jen was staying. Dick and Zach immediately changed their view on getting Jameka out.

The stipend would be a good CARROT to use, but we do not know if they ever have. I bet there must be some sort of SAG rule about that. It would be like not paying an actor for not acting well. It is not the actor's fault that the casting director didn't make a good choice. All you have to do is show up and you get paid.

Of course there is a way to have every single thing spelled out...if they read this thread ROFLMAO! Oh Torbor, this is such a great thread! Sunshyne4u I do agree, the penalty vote did alter Jen's stay in the house. Who knows what could have happened with an extra week. Probably not much with this group, but there was hope!

I would be constantly nag (aloud) at Big Brother. I would say (yes, aloud) Big Brother you're a mean son of a gun making me come to the DR only when it suits you and making me saying things you want me to say. Big Brother you're a cheap one making me eat that kind of slop, isn't there anything better than this crap you're feeding me. Oh, every day I would say aloud how much I hate Big Brother.

Dick and Zach immediately changed their view on getting Jameka out. That really bothered me that they just changed the ruling. It should have been spelled out clearly and then followed. If their rule was a penalty nomination the following week then that should have been what Jen got.

The best example of this was in Season 1 when George raised the most serious rebellion against BB and almost led to all of the HG's walking out. Indeed, they had agreed to and BB had to change its ways with them. As I recall, BB capitulated a lot that day. I fully agree. A little bit of disobedience would make for a far more interesting summer.

Yes. George almost had them. That was when they realized that they had to have the HGs against each other and not against them. I really like the idea of promoting shows on other networks and trashing CBS shows. LOL Too funny. I would not only trash BB, but mispronounce it. "BIG BOTHER" "BUNG BUTTER" etc... I wouldn't make a speech about the nominations. I would just blow the suspense and say who I nominated before anyone even took a key. I'm sure there isn't a rule against stupidity. (The pressure and stress of having to make a nomination totally throws me off. I am unable to think correctly.)

Oh I would love to see someone doing just that, Tobor. The heck with the dumb nomination box, give them the keys and get to the point right away, you and you are nominated, don't asky why. Over.

I agree Tobor. I often thought I'd tell the HG's who I nominated right away, before the keys. If that's not allowed I'd still tell them not to mess with my noms or come to the HoH because there is no discusion. The HoH door would be locked at all times. If someone gets pov'ed off the block, the next strongest or most popular player would go up. I would tell the rest of the HG's that every week in the future they need to put up the most dangerous and strongest players; especially most popular. I would say "duh, you do want the money don't you?" I'd probably be out the next week but I couldn't play any other way.

If they said, "You can't say who you are nominating till the keys are pulled out" I would just say I forgot. If they made me do it over, I would then say the names of the people I DIDN'T nominate. If they still made me do it again, I would sing while the keys were being taken out.

As far as the SLOP is concerned... I would keep dropping the big bowl of it on the floor. I can't help it if I am clumsy. Do they expect me to eat food off the floor? They would have to get more. Then someone else would drop that bowl. Boy is it hard to carry that slop.

You guys are making me ROFL. Funny! I'll bet their contracts are written in such a way they could never get away with any of that stuff more than once but it sure would be fun if they could. I especially like the one about sitting on the couch after eviction and refusing to budge until I reamed out everyone who voted me out.

LOL I have to think back to when Will used to Sing just to make the feeds go to FOH and make BB mad, and when they had only cold water he washed in the sink LOL.

They would warn you a couple of times first. After 30 seconds you could start to ask the others to STATE OUT-LOUD how they voted. Then you could fall when you got out of the chair. Then your knee would hurt and you wouldn't be able to walk to the door. By the time you get to the door, ONLY with the help of those you DIDN'T vote you out (of course you wouldn't let anyone who did vote you out even touch you... LOL) ...then you would remember that you forgot your very special belonging somewhere in another room as you hobble off to go find it. You could milk that for a few minutes I would think. If they then do not take away your stipend (which I do not think they would do) then they would be screwed. Everyone in the house could do the same thing on EVERY eviction day and they would have to give the same treatment or it would be discrimination. The public wouldn't stand for it.
