Suvivor Final is 2 hours followed by an hour show with all the contestants hosted by Bryant Gumbel. So Survivor is really on for 3 hours on Wed.

And BB said they will have to have 2 ppl dancing during the live show Thurs. I don't know how they are going to handle the inside/outside problem.

LOL... Delia, I am notorious for comments like this on this board. I think I do it because it irritates people like you. Brittany said it best when she said, "They are afraid of being homophobic." They should be homophobic. Everyone should be homophobic and "puritanical" for that matter.

Next?

BTW, would people continue to update the dancing schedule as it changes? I can't wait to see Josh go toe to toe with Curtis after his early comments... LOL..

Delia nice preach, but Evan's post was not mean spirited or Immature..it was a clean joke. I think you need to take a chill pill. Maybe several.

I didn't land on Plymoth Rock, but I agree with the male houseguests not wanting to dance together

This has got to be the stupidest challenge yet. How much fun will it be for the audience to watch people hopping around or whatever and we can't even hear the music? And five days of this? They'll look like frenzied puppets jumping around for no reason. Any music-related challenge is silly to start with, since the idea of BB is to be able to hear the HGs talking and music would interfere with that. So who wants to watch somebody else listening to music through headphones that you can't hear? Someone please call Michael Sarrazin to come shoot me now.

Isn't that only 2 people have to be dancing at any one time...so I assume everyone else would be doing their normal routines. Why are u all getting bent out of shape!!

Thank you Remus. I really did not mean for my earlier post to be disrespectful, but if someone reads it that way, I won't back down. LOL.

Thanks Remus.

I think that this could be a pretty good challenge...then again it could totally suck. It gives people more to watch on the live feeds rather than them sleeping. Sure the curfew is lifted for the week, so they are free to sleep whenever, but I don't think that they are gonna sleep for 6 hours, then dance for 2, and then sleep for 6 more(except maybe eddie :)). There will probably be more than the 2 dancing up at all times. I'm looking forward to it- more interesting then watching them study the map for 5 days.

Good thing Jordan is out of the house now, she'd think the dance challenge was a BB attempt to ridicule her and portray her as some kind of sex object. *snicker*

Sleep deprivation..makes people grumpy, changes behavior. Could this be what it is all about?

They originally wanted to bet 50%, but then they asked a few questions.
They have to have their feet on the floor.
The HG's wanted to know if the beer ban would be lifted if they bet 50% and won and got a (back to you later answer)
Eddie said BB was out to screw them one way or another so revised his bet to 20%. They didn't think BB would let them win 3 in a row.

Evan - if they were "puritanical" they wouldn't be dancing at all. Puritans believed all dancing was sinful. As for homophobia - why is it any more acceptable for 2 women to dance with each other than 2 men. No cries about homosexuality then! You are entitled to your opinion, but you don't have to make remarks that others would find offensive.

Do you call that dancing? they are simply shifting weight left and right.

Not just that, but they simply take the receiver out of their ears so that they don't have to listen to the music.

I don't think it's necessarily homophobic to speculate on whether any of the boys are gay - it's just another gossip item. I think it's really funny that the ppl who constantly preach and rave that "it shouldn't make any difference whether so-and-so's gay" are the ones who are making the biggest fuss about it. As far as I'm concerned, we're supposed to know everything about these ppl anyway, sexual orientation is just another factoid :)

Anyway, back on topic. At least the dancing challenge gives them something else to put on the cams...and we might at least get some interesting one-on-one convos. Think Brit is gonna allow Josh and Jamie to dance by themselves?

they can loose contact with each other just so long as they are still moving/dancing...they also ALL have to dance when BB tells them to ALL dance, this could be interesting.
At first most agreed 50%,even Eddie but after giving it more thought(not the effort doing the challenge) but BB screwing with them Eddie said let's just go 20% all agreed.
(smart move Eddie )

Kimber1011,
If you would read my earlier post, you would notice that Delia decided to attack me as being immature and disrespectful. Since she did that, I decided to jab at her a little. Poke fun at her comments. She called it puritanical, not me. I was just making fun of what she said. Look in the archives before you slam someone.

Ok - these are the pairings we've seen so far today I think:

Josh and Cass kicked it off at 3pm PDT
Curtis and Cass from 3:45
Curtis and Brit from 4:15
George and Brit from 5:00
George and Cass from 5:30
Eddie and Cass at 6:15?
"All dance" at 7:00 pm.
Jamie and Eddie at maybe 7:05 pm
Jamie and Josh at 7:30
Brit and Josh at 8:00
Brit and Curtis at 8:45
Cass and Curtis at 9:15
Cass and George starting at about 10:55pm pdt...

after one day it's Cass with at least 4 hrs and probably more, and Curtis with 3 1/2 hrs...looks like Jamie and Eddie are the big slackers (unless they're planning to do some time tonight...heh...)

Thanks for the update TeeCee ... BTW, you are doing a great job on the live feeds!

Thanks Zelda, glad to hear someone appreciates that I have no life :)

heard George talking on the live feed. For the o/n shift it's going to be Eddie taking over at 1am PDT, then Josh at 3, Curtis at 5, George again at 7. It looks like they are trying to stick w/guy-girl pairings for now...so leave all that guys dancing with guys gossip aside for the time being :)

Live feeds will definitely be more interesting with this 'dancing' going on. THe coversations have already begun to get more interesting, as in with CONTENT as they stem off the boredom - (except for George, that is still as repetative and boring as usual. At least this time he won't have to go round the whole house to PR privately with each HG not to nominate 'the simple ol' man.)

With Geo and Cass doing such a "lovely" job outside, how come all 4 cameras have been on the LR for 10 min. It can't be less entertaining outside at this moment.

every once and i while i have to put my two cents in, so here it is...

at first glance, i thought the dance marathon was pretty stupid. however, after seeing cass and curtis take a shift this afternoon, it was immediately obvious that this challenge could prove interesting for a variety of reasons. one is in the level of interaction between certain of the housemates. already, i think cass is already showing another dimension to her personality... she seems to really enjoy dancing and was having a great time this afternoon. with one of three girls present on the dance floor at all times, the brit/jaime bonding will have to take a back burner this week. as well, the level of contact when dancing one-on-one with a person is quite different than group chit-chat, or even "love bed" discussions. lastly, as there is a moratorium on curfew for the duration of the challenge, and the hg's must continue dancing through the night, i think it is highly likely that some very interesting conversations will come out of the overnight shift (just my prediction). i think it will be interesting to see what changes in relationships between the hg's occur as a result of this challenge. anyway, there are probably even a few more reasons why this challenge was smart, but i'll leave it at that. i had stopped watching the live video the past couple of days (only checking in on the live feed updates here at BBFC), but will definitely start checking in again from time to time. i'll be curious to see how this week progresses and what new dynamics develop as a result of the hg's dancing the night away. just MHO (-:

This is what I'm thinking about the whole thing:

Although their intitial mood is one of positive energy and enthusiasm, they will more than likely wear down very quickly as their sleep patterns will become more sporadic. Especially the ladies, since there is only 3, they will have to dance more often... unless the guys "get over it" and do a little jig together. By the end of the week, they will be quite tired and in that state, watch for the elevated emotions to come into to play. Add to that, the "All Dance" deal will probably play a lot havoc, as BB will more than likely call them while some are asleep. It should be very interesting.

Just my 2 pennies... :-)
