Archive through September 13, 2000
Merrymayhem | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:58 pm  Happy scene: Everybody so excited over Curtis getting ready to leave to go to Emmys, brushing off his coat, all gathered around him at the door, and they were all waiting at the door when he came home. They all seemed genuinely excited for him, and I was just as excited as they were! All smiles. And while he was out of the house, they were in his mind the entire time. Sad scene: Britt left and they all ran out back yelling for her. Sadness and disbelief followed. Embarassing scene: George saying "GUYS! We holded the cards all along" Fear that the man truly is losing it. Delusional. |
Whatever | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:04 pm  The top three I would pick show the houseguests at their best. Here are the most memorable, not in any particular order: 1. George's revelation in the RR about winning the map challenge and giving his correct answer. He explained his educational background, and how he never felt confident about completing college and competing with younger students, but the success of the map challenge gave him confidence that inspired him to consider getting his degree. 2. The loving look and kiss George blew for Teresa as he gazed from the doorway after completing the anniversary sign on the wall. The rousing hapy anniversary chorus and edited camerawork of George's choreography was also classic. 3. The camera shot of all houseguests unified while staring at beautiful sunset and clouds in awe. George brought the view to the attention of the houseguests. For some reason, the solemnity of the group as all of them tiptoed and peered for a better look while deep in their own thoughts was touching. http://webcenter.bigbrother2000.aol.com/entertainment/NON/article392.html Other moments: - George recognizing Josh' loss after Brittany was banished and comforting Josh, while the other houseguests were milling about the courtyard with their own thoughts. - Cass frowning and miserable while playing water basketball in the pool- then getting her hair wet accidentally and giving in to fun and starting to enjoy herself. - The domino challenge and the pride of the houseguests for completing a challenge where other BB houses had failed. Things looked precarious, especially seeing all the times that someone (Cass) accidentally knocked down whole chunks of dominos before their time. The dominos looked pretty cool before, during and after. And despite the furtive dirty looks caught on camera, none of the houseguests were upset with each other during the whole ordeal. - The Pugita obedience challenge was fun to watch, and Josh called it correctly in the RR when he observed the challenge was to test the patience of the houseguests, not Pugita. - Josh saving Pugita from the pool. OK, anytime they show the Pug is pretty cool. The pug is really cute. |
Chloef | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:05 pm  I'd have to say: 1)Josh's panicked face when Brittany was voted out (shoulda kissed her when you had the chance!!) 2) Pugita pulling out one of Brittany's hair elastics. 3) All of Jordan's stupid words (ie. "skitterish") Can you say....bimbo?? |
Kathyb | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:06 pm  Curtis's rendition of Riverdance. Pugita's challenge triumph. George stepping in dogshit for the 10th time |
Webtvlurker | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:14 pm  I'm so jealous I can't get the live feeds!!! WAAAAAAAAHHHHH. Shouda bought a "real" puter. |
Rwsbetter | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:45 pm  Chloef: "3) All of Jordan's stupid words (ie. "skitterish") Can you say....bimbo?? " That reminds me of when Jordan was sitting by the pool and said there will be no bestiality in the house (meaning she won't be having sex with Josh). A friend I was watching with (yes, I actually know someone else who watches the show) said "I guess that means the chickens are safe." |
Taurus | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:48 pm  Well....some of mine will be repeats....lol. #1.....I was touched that Curtis cried after Brit left.....but it also left me feeling sort of empty inside that her "best friend" in the house didn't shed tears (that I saw). #2....I liked the way they played the music in the background with Pugita's challenge..lol. #3....Any of Curtis's great one liners..lol. #4.....I couldn't help but get some pleasure when they asked Jamie if she brought her dice..lol. |
Stillme | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:50 pm  Easy. 1. Candlelight conversation between William and Jordan. It was nice to see a friendship develop like that. I barely got sleep the week of their nomination. It was so entertaining. 2. The conversation between Cassandra and William about the pressure they faced from being the only two black people in the house. It was a poignant conversation as Karen and Jamie joined to ask questions. However, it all went downhill as Brittany came into the kitchen and couldn't sit still while a conversation took place that wasn't about her. She started going on and on about her "best friend" who she never interacted with outside of work yet was the "most important person" to her but Brittany never "realized" she was black. Whatever. 3. William making the birthday gift for Jamie. He'll never admit it, but he had a big crush her. |
Renee | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:53 pm  I agree with So Many of the ones that some of you have already mentioned, Plus... When Cass was telling the HGs that BB wanted them to have more substantial conversations and interaction and Britt responding, "I don't think I get any deeper than this." Something along those lines, I'm paraphrasing. ;) And: When she was bored in the backyard with some of the other HGs tanning and started stepping over Josh. LOL She reminded me of a little sister. Annoying and silly and sweet all at the same time. To me those moments were SO Britt! I confess, I love her. She was so childlike and open. I miss those huge brown eyes, the accent and her goofy words and antics. |
Stsomewhere | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 09:16 pm  I loved many of the above moments (Pugita with Britt's pig-tail was classic!), also: Cassandra actually smiling and laughing during the water balloon throwing contest Eddie, Josh and Britt in the mud (baby-doll carrying military challenge). Eddie belly-flopping in the mud, Josh throwing Britt in a nice muddy spot Eddie created just for her. They had a blast that day and I did too! When Curtis realized the Mega gave Eddie the "massage" I can't believe I'm wishing I taped and kept all this stuff, unreal. |
Banish_George | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 09:24 pm  #1. Most Disturbing : George in the RR (ketchup"They shot me 3 times!"; nominations (Curtis on double dipping, Brit asked me to move; "I am saving Josh from further embarassment"); "VOTE FOR ME", "Eddie, shut up!", as Karen, as convenience store ala shiek owner watevah, "I am really pissed by those banners. I will never quit!"; Teresa and Rockford's banishment vote of Brit, Teresa's telephone monologue with George faked cry, "stupid" George leading the revolt and ALL OF THE ABOVE whatever said #2. Most Annoying : Everytime George speaks with his tongue out; evrytime Jamie talks in the RR; George and Jamie doing the chicken dance; George as if in tears act by putting his fingers on his eyes; everytime Jamie opens her mouth and as if innocently asking "yada yada yada, it's weird" #3. Most Dramatic/Touching : Brit's banishment and afterwards ... Eddie haunting scream of BRITTANY!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! and Curtis crying in the RR |
Banish_George | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 09:27 pm  and oh yeah, let's all get a life and pray that they ALL WALK OUT ON Wednesday With these lists we came up.. it is really a very boring show |
Max | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 09:51 pm  Oh brother, what a challenge! Lots of great moments mentioned already. I've gotta break mine down a little. Most touching/memorable: - Eddie stroking Brit's face as she lay in bed crying her heart out. It was so tender and loving. Truly a big brother moment.
- Mega giving Jamie the hand-made birthday card. Truly great and showed that behind all the bluster, there's a really soft heart that pays attention to what is important to people around him.
- The HGs in the back yard after Brit was banished. Eddie yelling at the top of his lungs. Josh despondent sitting in the corner. Curtis trying to hold back tears. Cass simply shocked. Jamie...well who knows what she was thinking behind the porcelain face. George...well, the cynic in me thinks he was silently celebrating, not mourning, but I could be wrong.
Most annoying things I'd like to forget:- Jamie talking to "Bob", "cameraman (or woman)", "ChickenMan!", and never completing a sentence without pausing and hoping that someone else completes the thought for her. Oh and let's not forget her leading George on with the infomercial stuff.
- George talking about himself in the third person and repeating everything over and over again. Also his clucking and making super-sucker sounds when using the carpet sweeper.
- George's "skits" in the redrum and his continual misrepresentation of what he's been up to when talking about it to the other HGs.
And, finally, the most intriguing aspect of the entire show so far:- The live enactment of "group-think". They have truly demonstrated an unchanging fact about human nature. Above all, we want to be right. Unfortunately, we don't usually feel right without group validation. In the closed environment of BB, there are only a few people to provide that validation, so individual opinions get modified in favor of the group dynamic. It's very, very interesting and great stuff for a thesis in any sociology course.

Ricmunoz | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 09:59 pm  Third Best Impression: First close-up of Josh's smile. Second Best Impression: First close-up of Josh's chest. Best Impression: Josh licking his fingers and using same to pinch his nipple. Yeah, baby! Do you make me horny? Well, just don't tell me to BEHAVE! {If you'll excuse me, I'll now resume constructing my shrine/temple of devotion to Mr. Souza....] |
Kiari | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 10:15 pm  How about the night they "switched" places Jordan was a great Britt Curtis was a classic Eddie Eddie jordan dance And funniest of all was Mega as George he had the squeky (sp) voice and walk down pat |
Remus | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 10:22 pm  1. Brittany and Mega going at it in the Kitchen (It never got any better than that) 2. Jordan and Josh laying face to face with Jordan's "Hormones going wild" 3. I reserve the third favorite moment for all those unflattering Extreme Close-ups of Jamie in the RR when BB challenges her motives. Classics!!!! |
Bbfanatic | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 10:37 pm  jordan- the first day when they all were checking out the house. it was that look she gave when she was in the bedroom. that was my first real impression of her and my first impression was right on. eddie - on knee on sidewalk barking at pugita. i am a dog lover, so that was great. curtis - that cute look he gives in the rr at the end of his talk with bb. it is an innocent little boy look |
Max | Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 05:16 pm  I just like this thread and wanted to make sure it stays around a little longer. |
Rmgreco | Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 05:40 pm  1. Eddie telling Pugita "Don't write checks your a$$ can't cash" 2.THe whole aftermath of Brit leaving. SO sad 3.Any interaction between Eddie and Brittany. They had such sweet chemistry. Whether they were teasing each other or consoling each other, they truly had genuine affection for each other. |
Whatever | Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 09:57 pm  Here's a scene that we'll never see, but is just so comical it's destined to be one of the most classic George moments. Who else would have the balls (pun intended) to juggle while the BB psychologist is asking you why you're digging up the backyard looking for treasure?!!! George is no match for Eddie or other comers when it comes to f###'ing with people's minds! From the live feed discussion board: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 07:50 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ George just came out of the RR. they called him in and wanted him to speak to Dr Del Rio to see if he was OK. He said no I am cool. Jamie said probably a good sign there is no money in the garden. George admits he did ask about that. " He was cool though" "I am going to tell you this though. Dr Del Rio watched us a lot" All agree that he must and he should. Josh called into the RR George says i was juggling for him in there. Curtis says i am sure that did not help the diagnosis!. |
Jujubean | Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 11:21 pm  What a long strange trip it's been....There are so many! When George got the letters from home and was reading them to everyone. When Josh jumped in the pool to pull out Chiquita. Any moment with Brittany and Eddie, especially the sweet moment where he was stroking her hair as she fell asleep in her bed. And I have to add- DAWN BBQ! |
Scribe | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 05:01 am  1. Curt in RR crying after Britt left, very sweet. 2. Every RR skit by George, disturbing,offensive and bizarre. 3. Either George convinced if all walk they all get big bucks FROM BB or George digging up the yard, bizarre and disturbing. 4. (I know only 3) Britt's poise in leaving the House. (its early can't think of them all) |
Dee | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 06:30 am  The scene that had the most impact was when Brittany was banished and how shocked and emotional the houseguests were about it. Also, many of the scenes between Eddie/Brit were touching and/or funny. I still can visualize many of Mega's moments too. |
Jro | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 07:57 am  I agree with the above sentimental scenes... So I thought I'd add what I thought was the funniest or most fun scenes: 1. When Jamie snapped Eddie in the eye with the rubber band. I couldn't quit laughing at that scene! 2. When George ate the candy from over the wall. I think Curtis said something to the others like "Too late. He already ate it" Like George is the HG's second pet and they have to watch everything he does! 3. Whenever George steps in a Pugita "bomb". 4. And the night I wished I was there-- when they were drunk and dancing on the kitchen table! Looked like a bunch of fun!! |
Iron_Chef | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 08:33 am  Picking among some recent events: 1) The death in the family scene - Everyone in the backyard after the Britt banishment while the live show was still going on. A touching moment that forever changed the dynamics of this "game" for even the most jaded of viewers and HGs. 2) Ketchup George - Creepy, creepy, creepy. From the sneaking around plotting to actual execution. The workings of a desperate mind. Truly fascinating, yet disgusting. 3) The 10 AM Blackout - I wasn't watching the live feeds at the moment, but the blackout at such a crucial moment shows that we are truly dealing with BIG BROTHER. Panic, damage control, etc. Whatever it was, not too many people questioned it once BB conveniently updated their site so quickly to officially fill in the blanks. |
