Have You Become A Better Person As A Result of Your Big Brother Experience?
Webtvlurker | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:04 am  I've learned that if there is a BB2 I better invest in a "real" computer so I can see the lives feeds myself. Don't want to step in cyber do-do again! whew! I've also learned that if I want to post a rant that I've had a good nights sleep first and to count to ten before I hit post button. Peace to all Web |
Bummer | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:16 am  I was...I am....I always will be. And the beat goes on! |
Jombie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:57 am  I have discovered that If I see a true NEED, I will try to fill it...but basically, I am the same Jombie I ever was...and that's a good thing... I have also learned not to go off on ludicrous posters - flaming bad...!! And this has most definitely helped me in my daily life... I am looking forward to That 70's Show, Will and Grace, CSI, Making the Band, and all the reality shows they can bring on!!! See you in the TV Clubhouse!! |
Ocean_Islands | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 01:35 pm  I think the fallacy that we are seeing the houseguests as they really are is pervasive. These houseguests are acting, or trying to act, as they wish to be seen; I thought everyone understood that. We all saw the differences between some of the guests as they are in the house and their audition tapes. Neither image is the true one. When you can't truly be yourself and say whatever is on your mind, then you are not truly being yourself. Unfortunately, few, if any, of the houseguests said what they really felt and thought. That is a sad commentary on the nature of the television medium and the fact that this is, like it or not, a contest/game show/ what-have-you. |
Lafatme | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 03:08 pm  lance, i never mentioned you, or anyone else, specifically. i usually don't look at posters names anyway. i was speaking to the haters-you can each decide for yourselves if it applies. whatever, yes, i have applied it to myself and i haven't scored as high as i would have preferred. i, too, get irritated although moreso by posters who are quick to judge than by HGs. i may have been out of line with tukuul but my other references were generic, i think. i will work on it. it seems to me that many posts are similar to tabloid journalism. when someone is in the public eye tabloids seem to think they can write any thing they want in order to sell papers. it is my OPINION that many of the hate posters here would disagree with the right of tabloids to stretch the truth and give an incorrect slant, if not outright lie, about personalities. yet they don't understand they're doing the same thing. in my OPINION, we have no right to judge the HGs as we don't know them. how many times has it been said they don't open up? i think many tend to PROJECT feelings and motives on them that may not be true. i think that's wrong. sorry if that bothers some posters but i haven't mentioned anyone, except tukuul, and i have called a truce with him too. if i have been mean, in any way, to anyone else, i apologize. |
Rmgreco | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 03:23 pm  Ive learned a great deal about myself if you can believe it!! By seeing how I reacted to different HG's it made me aware of my own flaws. I disliked Jamie so much at first until I asked myself why I disliked her.I would love to be as honest and strong as Eddie or as open emotionally as Britt (whom I love) BUT the truth is I am not. I am more like Jamie than I would like to admit. I am insecure and try to please people too much. BB made me own up to these facts and since then I have been trying to be honest and direct with people not all wishy-washy trying to make people like me all the time. There has been a remarkable change in myself and people have noticed! So I have softened up on Jamie a little and on myself. All because of a stupid TV show! Can you believe it? Jamie still annoys me with all the narcissism but I realize she is young and human and hopefully will learn from this experience as I have! |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 05:56 pm  I've learned a few things from the different conversations on the show that will be beneficial in my lifetime. I also thought it was great getting to know the HGs over a period of time. It sort of sucked me in. What I've learned is that I join numerous people who find other people's lives more interesting than their own...at least at this point in time. It's up to each one of us to take initiative and make things happen instead of waiting to be dragged around by events and circumstances. "Our lives are what our thoughts make it." |
Tukuul | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 02:14 pm  Interesting...I've learned how 10 people in a confined and regulated area interact. If I was a Psychology student, it would be the dream experiment or project. I'm not, but I did learn some things by listening to conversations and observing and learning everyone's personalities and overall character. |
Gizmo | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:48 pm  No. I was already a better person. |
Sara | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:39 pm  Tukuul - every single one of your posts has involved only three things. 1. How great, innocent, and misunderstood George is and why you are right for thinking so. 2. How stupid the rest of the posters are for not agreeing with you. 3. How great you will be (oh please!) on BB2. So, tell me. Since every one of your posts has dealt with you, you, and more you, exactly what have you been listening to, observing and learning about everyone else on this board? |
Tukuul | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:53 pm  Exactly and in that order. I'm glad I was part of your Big Brother experience and that you learned something about me. As for signing up for BB2, did you do it or could you not stomach the risk? I bet your mouth is much smaller in person...Saraaahhhhh. |
Kearie | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:59 pm  Lance previously wrote "I learned that any single HG has the power to teach all of the other Hgs something new, and that any HG has the power to learn something new about themselves through the experiences of the other HGs--although only if they choose to." I agree that this is so important for every person to realize this. I realized this back in college. I was very shy and rarely offered my comments in class discussions. I learned so much from listening to other peoples views. Then it dawned on me that I was actually being very selfish. To not share ones thoughts and experiences can be very selfish. We are in essence preventing others the oppertunity to learn from our experiences. As we go through life, we are all teachers and students. We need to be open to learn and open to share. Thanks to all for broadening my horizens, sharing your views and thots, and allowing me to share mine. |
Guruchaz | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 10:35 pm  I'm going to miss all the personal attacks from the children here. Maybe by the time BB2 rolls around next Feb, people will learn how to debate instead of post a bunch of crap. Some of these headlines have been ridiculous and most of the rumors have been started on this board. If I've learned anything from this BB experience, it's that people are too critical of each other. They spend more time tearing someone down and finding faults than anything positive. That goes for a wide majority of the posters here...whether you like to hear it or not. |
