Bigbrother2000 | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 03:50 pm  I have had the crapiest weekend!!! I logged on yesterday morning(following the finale friday Night) and went to the Big Brother Site...It was so lonely looking...no where to click on feeds...it has been a depressing weekend for me! Anybody else? |
Guruchaz | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 03:55 pm  Well, it HAS been disappointing not being able to log in to the cameras. However, I wouldn't say I had a crappy weekend because of that. I've found other things to do to keep busy. |
Sammy | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 03:59 pm  I'm a 40+ mom-type and I have this silly worried feeling in the back of my mind and it's because I can't check on the boys!!!!!! I hope they're ok... jeez |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:03 pm  I keep feeling I'm missing something . . . . |
Prince | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:08 pm  Very depressing indeed. I am still at CBS for the crap they did in the end of the show Friday night. Wouldn't it have been nice if it was 2 hours and each of the HGs had a chance to say goodbye to their fans? There would have been some feeling of closure. I have slept very little this weekend, going from site to site, re-reading the live feeds, replaying the archived videos, repeating the final show 3X already, replaying some of the episodes & searching the Internet for news & fan sites. Maybe I'm a psycho, but I really feel like I loss a "friend" . No more live feeds, no more hearing & seeing and being part of the lives of this people. I took last week off work to try to fully enjoy the last week of the BB experience and now that it is over, I feel an emptiness inside. I just hope the passage of time will turn the sadness I feel now to memories of joy & enjoyment I got from this people who shared their lives with us. |
Wendy | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:15 pm  I'm doing pretty well, but then again thanks to the small BB aftershocks like the Live AOL chat with Eddie last night, I'm not going through total withdrawal yet. The thing I really got used to was listening to something while I was at my computer. It's weird listening to music now rather than slipping on my headphones and hearing conversations or snoring. Prince: I agreed with teverything you said. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:27 pm  I'm dreaming about them, I'm coming to the boards looking for updates... I feel like my best friend moved away. It is sick, I know, but I am truly sad. My friend had a baby yesterday and named him Joshua. I went to see her at the hospital and I kept calling him "Sloshie." Thats when you know you're too far gone. |
Cfan | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:39 pm  I'm definitely not feeling right at all. My husband works out of town and I felt bad because when he came home Friday night after the final show, I was in such a BAD mood. Luckily he understood. It continued Saturday. This is how pitiful I was. We went to a football game and I must have had this tense expression on my face. My Husband turned to me and asked" What are you thinking about honey? Curtis?" It was funny, I was so surprised he knew. It was exactly what I was thinking about!! LOL! I told him I was still upset that Curtis only got $50,000. It was all I could think about. Now it's Sunday and I'm just sad. Wendy, I feel the same way you do. I'm used to listening to the live feed while I'm on the computer. Now it's so quiet. It doesn't feel right. I just bought a BBFC T-shirt. can't wait til it comes. Tried to find BB merchandise from the CBS store but it's all survivor crap. It's strange because before I thought it was an ok show (never followed it) But now I have this intense dislike for it. Now I hate the show and all the people that were on it now. I can't handle hearing or seeing anymore of that Da*n show!!! |
Rooting4curtis | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:43 pm  "Big Brother" has been a big source of entertainment for my husband and me this summer. We don't have cable or satellite TV, so we rely on network and public stations for our news and television enjoyment. I really miss the show already and feel a vague sense of sadness, part of which may be due to the fact that the show didn't end the way I wanted it to end. CBS could have done a much better job of putting the nightly shows together, so I'm expecting better things from "BBII" I miss Curtis so much! Kisses to Curtis Kin!! |
Forgottenlore | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:56 pm  Today is good! There is hope! Lucky for me, I think I am more addicted to reading this board than the actual show, and you guys are still here!!! |
Mbliving | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:58 pm  I feel lost. Even the message board is pretty silent. I feel like Sammy, a little worried about them. But on the other hand, I put away my summer clothes, pulled out and washed my winter clothes, did some housework and even baked for the kids. I didn't realize there were so many hours in day. I find myself popping on here every few hours just in case I'm missing something just to realize that it is indeed over. |
Needmylifeback | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:04 pm  I'm here reading the discussion boards! Does that answer your question??? ! |
Sfnative | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:18 pm  I've been feeling like I was torn away from a very dysfunctional family. There were black sheep, a crazy aunt and uncle, voices of reason, studs and duds. The last three people in the house happened to turn out to be the three that I cared about the most, except for Britt...but all three of them cared about her and vise-versa, so I was satisfied. My favorite four loomed large and I wouldn't mind having any one of them for a kid. The Olympics is over tonight, the Giants are in the Playoffs, the Forty-Niners just one another game, and the new TV season starts...I guess I will survive, but I'll always wonder and care about some of the houseguests. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:32 pm  Well, I'm here still reading the board as well, although it's because of the great people. I loved the show, although much like Forgottenlore, I think I'm more hooked on the board than I was the show. What's amazing to me is how much this show became a part of many people's lives!! Withe the exception of MASH, I don't think I've ever heard some of the things we are saying. Seinfeld wasn't missed nearly this much based on what I heard (actually, didn't hear). All I can say is, if it was this intense for us, think what it must have been like for the HGs!!! |
Trinitron | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:40 pm  Um, I ordered the Big Brother UK book and CD from Amazon.co.uk. I really need some help -- (The book is in the top five sellers, though.) |
Jg2rd | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:45 pm  I am really worried about the boys. I have been searching sites and boards all day. It is just sooo odd that no one has posted any info or sightings since Friday. I hope they are all ok, happy, and realize how much we all appreciate them for being such a large part of our summer. If they hadn't been there we all wouldn't have met. |
Prince | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:50 pm  I have broadband Internet connection, so for the past 2 months I have the live feed on whenever I'm home. I have two computers, one in my main living area where I watch/listen most of the time and one in my bedroom. I don't turn off the feed most of the time when I'm asleep. Makes me feel that I'm sleeping with them! I agree the silence of my computer is deafening! At the end my favorites are the final 3 + Britt, as they are probably the most likely to have a career in the entertainment industry, I hope we are able to find out what happens to them in the future. Back to work tomorrow, I hope I can get my life back ASAP. |
Bbyoohoo | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 06:29 pm  Last night, we went to a concert to especially see a guy named Moon from Hawai`i who literally flies me to the moon with his singing, and yes, I absolutely forgot ALL about BB! He and his group,The Makaha Sons, are that good! I highly recommend going out into the real world -- go see a movie, go shopping, go to a concert. It really helped me to "let go of BB". At least for a few hours.... Afterwards, we stopped at a sushi bar. Next to us was a couple of recently divorced guys, now sharing a house together. Small talking, I asked if either had been following the BB show, and one did! Of course that made for instant bonding, and in a very short time, we were buying rounds of beers for each other, sharing sushi, and having our own late night little party - a la BB. We closed the bar. There is life after BB, after all. |
Enbwife | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 06:46 pm  I agree Lancecrossfire about how intense it must have been for the HGs. I wonder how they're all coping? This weekend has not felt like BB has gone anywhere for me, because Neil and I are working like crazy trying to get the TV Clubhouse going, and organizing an online BB game for you guys to play and judge. Should be a lot of fun. I think in a couple of days it may hit me that I can't actually know what the boys are doing. Especially tomorrow night at 8:00 when the show doesn't start I'm going to tape the Morning Show tomorrow morning to see how they are. We'll talk about that on the board tomorrow. Hang in there guys |
Tawny32 | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 06:50 pm  I enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts on this post. I agree Bigbrother2000 on feeling at a loss. It is like in the movie "You've Got Mail" where Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks don't want to admit they were ever in a chat room and for a long time many on here didn't want to admit how much they liked BB but really trashed it. I loved the show from the get go. It had some lulls of course but I loved it. I am grieving yes. I think CBS ripped the final three HGs and us off. They didn't get to really say goodbye to us and allow us to say goodbye to them. No closure like someone on here said. Goofy it may sound but one of the areas I work is in grief counseling and not putting closure is truly a horrible thing to live with and it doesn't take a death to be a significant loss. So, I look to all of you for support too. I don 't feel embarrassed that I feel the way I do. I actually feel we are all together in this and appreciate all of you for your honesty and those of you that share the music, video, and stories...Thank you all. Also, I am worried, "anticipatory grief" that I will click back here and this site will be gone. Ok, now I know you all think I am nuts. Off the subject.....Prince what is broadband internet? |
Prince | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 07:08 pm  Tawny32, Broadband internet - cable or DSL connection (24/7 connection). No need to tie the phone line. I can't wait until 'The Early Show' tomorrow! (I'm sleeping early tonight, Good night everyone! Happy BB dreams!)

Kstme | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 07:33 pm  I have found the European BBs! I DON'T CARE if I CAN'T understand most of what they say! It's getting me through a LONG, SAD weekend! The Belgium group was working on their BB song, the Italians were doing some kind of pottery thing, the Swiss were having a hilarious conversation in their LR (I laughed too), the Dutch were in one of the bedrooms yakking away, the Swedes were in the kitchen talking and for a few hours I found some solace. The others AREN'T the same, but the noise from the "feeds" kept me company! (just looked out my window and wonder WHY those men in white coats are coming up the walk?????? As for "The Early Show" tomorrow...we only get ONE hour of it...the last hour!!! I am going to be so if I don't get to see the interviews! Hope they archive it! Soooo...in retrospect...my weekend?...LOL |
Shmoopie | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 07:55 pm  I've been a wreck too! I miss my beloved HGs, and want to see more! |
Itsme | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 08:16 pm  Well I was actually looking forward to it ending in a way because I was so addicted I was up until 4:00 (I'm in FL) every night watching and reading the live feeds and I know the house and the kids didn't look as they did in July <G> but I was so unhappy on Friday my hubby couldn't believe how upset I've been and mostly it's because I agree that we were ripped off after 3 months of BB we merely got a glimpse of the boys on the outside. I feel better today and I guess tomorrow after the morning show too (if they don't do it again) if AOL would give Curtis and Josh chats just like everyone else I might be all better soon <G>. Hang in there guys! |
Sylvia | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 09:14 pm  I feel as if a group of my friends were in a car crash and they didn't survive! Translate that to I didn't get the happy ending we were all looking for. Seeing them with their families...meeting the "voices" in person...meeting all the "Bobs"...leaving the web cams on so we could see them all "in the house" with their families...etc! As many of you have done I've gone from site to site looking for any scrap I could find. Champing at the bit waiting for Monday morning so I can see "the boys" and know that they're alright! Boy, I got it bad, and that ain't good!! Thank heaven for this site!!!!!! I signed the petition being sent to CBS (hereafter thought of as the Grinch) about a reunion show. I also e-mailed CBS directly stating my dissatisfaction with the way they ended the show and how they could make it up to all the fans with a reunion show ASAP! What has helped is the Bedtime Story mp3 someone on this board made. Hearing them laugh so hard and long at the story makes me laugh with them. Boy! Did I every ramble....what can I say...I miss them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
