I started this thread to discuss the recent pranks in the house; houseguests to houseguests. I think it's hilarous. And even though I'm no fan of Shelia, I think it's wonderful that she's taking most of it in stride. You can tell she gets annoyed but all in all, she's going with the humor. Good for her! This brings up my question: Do you think that the boys (James, specifically) asked for permission from BB to pull these pranks? Or perhaps BB asked James to do it so it'll all coincide (sp?) with the April Fools show on Tuesday? Personally, I think James was told by BB to do it. Which is all ok for me. It makes for good TV & youtubes! lol

In my opinion, James seems like the type who does first and then deals with the consequences later. I believe this is probably his idea. I haven't really been paying attention to what is going on lately so I have to wonder are ALL the houseguests getting pranks pulled on them or just Sheila? If it's just her, that strikes me a petty and malicious.

The women need to come up with some pranks on the guys! I mean the best they could come up with was Sheila making some lifesize Alex doll?? I swear I would be in there trying to get back at them, but I think Sheila is more comfortable playing the victim.

Wasn't Ryan & Adam the ones who did the prank with Sheila's tampon the other day? And the WHOLE house pranked Sheila with the POV when she was sleeping that one time. That was one of the funniest things ever! James came outside to tell them about the "POV" and he couldn't even hold it together for 10 seconds! I know BB has been pulling pranks on the HGs, but what are some of the newest pranks that the HGs are pulling on each other?

I just put this in the Who do you like thread: Why is James getting blamed for ALL the pranks? All of them were brainstorming ( including Natalie ) Sharon sd a few times, "come on guys, that's mean" and Adam maybe nixed a few here & there but they are guilty by association. (IMO) LOL I think it is all in good fun! and it makes the house more interesting...I was wondering why they haven't been playing any games or even hide & seek for that matter. They have enough time on their hands. They need to be a little creative. They should all do pranks on each other, not just Sheila.

James dumped a cup of flour over Sheila while she was sunbathing. Adam and James swapped Sheila's mattress for Adam's so that Adam has the more comfortable, pillow-top mattress. The boys TP'd Sheila's room last night. The boys and Natalie were trying to think of other pranks to play on Sheila when Nat came up with the idea of leaving shoes on the counter because Sheila hates that (apparently Nat left a pair of red high heels on the counter and got lectured for it). Josh said he brought 15 pairs of shoes, so he brought them all out and lined them all up on the kitchen counter. James and Josh went into Sheila's room in the middle of the night and banged pots with spoons to wake her up. I don't remember if there were any others yesterday.

James and Baller (not sure) helped switch Shelia's mattress. Helped toilet paper her room with Ryan and Adam. Ryan and Adam took one of her tampons, put salsa on it then put it in the toilet and told everyone Shelia got called to the DR. Ran out of the BR so fast that she forgot to flush. James put the prank tampon in a bowl and left it on her bed side table. Took another tampon and put it in the coffee filter basket with ketchup on it, for her to find in the morning. Poured water on her from upstairs, flour on her while she was sun bathing. James banged pans in Shelia's ear while sleeping. Josh helped. Josh, left his shoes on the counter, knowing Shelia hates that.

The boys should switch the bad luck mattress in the boat room with Shelia's and tell her BB must have fixed her bed for her.

Kind of seems to me like ALL the pranks are against Sheila and no one else.

Exactly! While the others might be guilty by association, James seems to be the instigator. This behavior, if directed at other houseguests too, might be considered pranks. The fact that it is directed at Sheila only makes it petty and mean. They are trying to justify it under the guise of pranks.

I really didn't mind any of pranks except the whole mug of flour James poured on Sheila's face while laying on her back sunbathing. Supposed she had gone to take a deep breath just as he dumped it? Suppose she had opened her eyes just before the downpour hit her face? Just too many realistic things that could have gone wrong for it to have gone from a prank to choking or an injury.

Very good point Naja. I thought of that too while watching the YouTubes of it. Seems like the kind of thing a kid would do (not thinking of what could happen). It's always one big joke until someone gets hurt.

which is why when they were coming up with the plan the night before BB told them they could NOT do the flouring. James did it anyways the next day during sunbatheing. Last night he wanted to use Sugar while she slept. IF BB truly told them NO, how come he is getting away with it? It is completely the reverse of last year when Jen was given permission to destroy cigarettes so she did a few times. When she finally destroys the last of them she is reprimanded and reemed out. The unfairness of it all bugs me. I mean in regard to the pranks. TPing the bedroom, funny and nonagressive. activities like Pelting someone with raw eggs, wacking them with towels or pouring water on them could be considered pranks, but all have the potential to really hurt someone. BB needs to have a zero tolerance for abusive pranks which could have long term injury potential. I have asthma. That flour prank would have put me in the hospital. Alison wore contacts. Flour in her eyes could have caused cornea scratches and ruined the lenses. I'm just sayin...

I completely agree. BB has a double standard when it comes to treatment of the houseguests. There used to be more control over behavior. Now they pretty much let them get away with what they want. Just goes to prove how low Allison Grodner is willing to let this show go. I quit watching halfway through last season and the same with this one. Now, I just come here to catch up.

The thing is, as far as I can recall, I have never seen anybody on season 8 do a prank that could possibly physically harm someone.

Flour in the face is a classic prank. I'm surprised that BB told them no, and I'm a little surprised that James did it anyway. I just watched the video of Nat telling them to put shoes on the kitchen counter and hand prints all over the fridge. She's the little instigator! She LOVED the TP in the bedroom too, she thought it was "festive" and funny.

IMO, there is nothing malicous about these pranks. I think it's a WHOLE HOUSE EFFORT to pull these pranks on Sheila all in good fun. I hope Sheila turns it around and starts doing stuff on them. lol I think it's a great way to pass the time. lol

I just watched most of these pranks, and it's James, Josh, Nat, Adam, & Ryan all pulling these on Sheila. Ryan and Adam did the tampon in the toilet (Josh nearly puked when James brought it out to put in Sheila's room.) Nat had Josh put hand prints on the fridge and shoes on the kitchen counter. Nat, Adam and James decided to dump water on her from the second floor which happened just AFTER Josh scared her by hiding in the cupboard and jumping out at her. Nat also seemed to have been involved with planning the flour and wasn't she the one that asked the DR if it was ok? They don't seem to be doing it to be mean, but because Sheila seems to "fall" for them and (according to Nat) has the best reactions. The flour was wrong because they told them not to, and because there's always a small chance for choking, although that is an old, classic prank. James had wanted to take the fake tampon in the bowl and have Sheila dump it on Ryan but Sheila said no because he'd get pissed, then he said Adam and she again said not to as it wouldn't bother him. So, they have wanted to pull some on the other guys, but Sheila has the best reactions, so I think they're going to stick with her. At least BB is getting Josh and Nat along with Sheila.

Good gawd, I hope Sheila pulls some pranks back on 'em. It seems a tad bit unfair to have all the pranks aimed at one person. And it sounds like they ALL are taking part in the pranks (except for Sharon?).

I could understand if they were doing pranks to everyone, but, when it is only being done to one person over and over again, it gets old fast, IMO.

I posted something earlier in another thread about this. It seemed funny at first when the guys TP'd Sheila's room and they swapped out the mattresses. But then it seemed like it began to get mean spirited. While talking about leaving smudge marks on the fridge (that Sheila cleans non-stop) Josh commented that he hated her. When James started talking about hitting Sharon with water and flour and Alex said he didn't want to participate, James asked him if he was scared of Sheila and called him the cat word. Isn't that sorta bullying him into joining in on the "prank"? It would be funny if everyone was being pranked but at this rate it seems like Sheila is being targeted and James and Josh are doing it with mean intentions. Not out of fun but out of torment. If BB told James not to pour flour on Sheila and she did it anyway, then why isn't there a penalty for that? Surely he should have gotten a penalty nom.
