Jordan to Return?
Ewing99 | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 04:40 pm  eddieluver, sorry that i LOL. But it was funny to read your important tips and then you experienced the same multiple posting accident. But anyway, is this now for sure, that this thread isn't based on a fake or what? and furthermore: Is Neil or Ryn able to trace some members of this board? It seems to me that some members start threads under different names and even discuss with themselves as male and female!! under web psychologist we call this phenomena nick name ego flood schizophrenia. so i can imagine threads like: Finally Mega Will get his deal with Puff Daddy? I heard that Karen start a new job as Marlboro Promoter. Brit is the new editor of virginpower.com1 Anyway, it never gets boring here and I'm glad that we can jump to many alternative threads if we like. Fine job everyone! |
Ewing99 | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 04:43 pm  LOL myself! |
Jaybear810 | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 04:46 pm  There sure does seem to be a epidemic of double postings these days! I think it's George's fault! |

Jaybear810 | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 04:50 pm  believe it or not I DIDN'T do that deliberately |
Newvoice | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 04:55 pm  LOL, too funny. PS- Thanks for the posting tips, guys. |
Faerygdds | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 05:02 pm  LOL too funny Jaybear! I've been thinking about the editing and the 10,000. Last night at the anniversary party George kept making weird comments about possibly celebrating his anniversary with Theresa in LA. I would think that you would do a belated ann in LA if it were a few days later, but a few weeks??? Idunno... Meanwhile the editing is indicating that Cass might take the dough as part of a poss agreement in the RR when she was upset last Monday. Here's what I think... BB has been coming down on George for all the writing stuff. I'll bet they made a deal with him for the 10,000 and are editing it to look like Cass for suspense... you know... the old bait and switch... jmo... any thoughts? |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 05:04 pm  Eddieluver, I've gotta say that was one of the funnier thing to happen today. I'm not going to blame it on George--I'm going to blame it on Julie Chin. |
Ewing99 | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 05:29 pm  i found a new help against multiple postings, hope it works: after the first preview don't wait!!! Open the new window immediately or psuh on discussion. Then you can see that your posting is already in the same thread. The "send back" function of the server is obviously less fasten than the refresh function. so: only one time add a message and if you don't need to correct your spelling, then only push post mesage above, push discussion and you see the effect. Forget waiting!!! (and edit later immediately!) |
Big_Al | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 06:04 pm  Believe what we really need is a way for the poster to be able to delete a second post (that's what one can do on the Edmunds.Com auto site message board I sometimes use). And at Edmunds, you're warned not to hit Refresh if you're still logged on after you've posted a message, as that will automatically repost it. Re a returning houseguest, my guess is that if such a thing happened it would be the same way Mega reappeared--mysteriously (ie. hidden to the HGs)and momentarily. I can't imagine they would put another HG in there who could actually win the $500K prize--that would be totally unfair to the current HGs who have lived there all these weeks, and I suspect the current HGs would take major umbrage at--and major action against--such a Johnny/Janey-Come-Lately. But then maybe CBS figures they need some major unfairness to start a HG controversy and spice things up for the viewers a little. |
Chris | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 06:08 pm  Big_Al: I think there is another side to putting an alternate in the house, which might even the odds. The newbie hasn't bonded with anyone, and will likely be nominated the very next banishment. The other HGs all have fans, and may vote out the newbie. Just a thought. |
Stillme | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 06:15 pm  The whole thing with Jordan is that they want the houseguests to vote. Jordan just wants to go back in the house so she can tell them things like. "Jamie, nobody knows you and nobody cares." "Cassandra, you should leave now with your dignity intact." "George, internet fans hate you and the city you live in." "Curtis, nobody even knows you're on this show." "Josh, everybody thinks you're gay." "Eddie, yes they did manage to get 2 hours out of Survivor. You may want to watch a tape of the finale because it's the closest you'll ever get to fame." |

Personally, I think the HG would seriously consider Jordan before a person selected by a Big Brother they don't trust. |
Kiari | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 06:18 pm  In the UK bb when one person was kicked out and a replacement was brought in, the HG were not allowed to nominate her the first round following her entrance. She was also not allowed to vote that round. IF there is a replacement added this could give that person some time. I haven't checked in to see if she is still there but I think she was nomitated the second time arround? |
Big_Al | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 06:21 pm  Chris, you're right, it could go that way and that's one of the ways the other HGs could take some "major action" against them. On the other hand, it could be the reverse--the newbie hasn't alienated anyone yet, hasn't had their little weird characteristics show up yet, and hasn't had thousands of messages posted on all the BB boards about their makeup, their cackle, their "gayness," their cushy jobs, etc. etc. The other HGs all have their fans, true, but they also have as many or more detractors. In any event, I think it's all a moot point because I don't think there will be a new HG for more than about 15 minutes. In fact, even if Karen were asked back to serve them a homecooked meal, as one of the other posters has suggested, I don't think she'd actually make an appearance in front of all the HGs and get to interact with them. It just seems like too big a breach of the fundamental game spirit and rules (6 House Guests, 90 Days, No Outside Contact, blah blah blah). |
Ledarney | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 06:27 pm  They have rules for this game.. when did this happen. I go away for a week and they come up with rules..LOL |
Faerygdds | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 07:26 pm  Kiari... I know this is OT, but Yes... Claire got the boot this week. It's a long story as to how it happened, but basically... it was Mel's turn, but she pulled a fast one and got so instead of 4/5 going up for banishment (in which Claire would have escaped) it was between Craig and Claire... Claire got the boot... Just an FYI... |
Kiari | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 07:29 pm  Thank You Faery...in your opinion is UK BB moreinteresting than US? I have only skimmed by it a couple time but the casting seems a little better. |
Ledarney | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 09:20 pm  Here is a question for all of you, I think a know the answer, but you may suprise me. ;) Assumeing that jordan would agree to back in the house and that once there she acting more like she did during her last couple of days in the house as opposed to the first couple of weeks. 1) When she came up for banishment - would you judge her on her current behaviour or her past behaviour? 2) Could you or would you judge her as two separate situations? 3) Would you start her second time as a fresh start? You all know how I would be, and to tell you the truth, if it were Karen, Britt or Will coming back in I would try to judge them under a new slate, although I suspect that before long I would begain to look for any small thing to give me reason to vote them out. What are your thoughts? |
Rufusgriswold | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 09:22 pm  I would love to see Jordan back under any circumstances. She remains my favorite of the five women. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen. |
Faerygdds | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 09:39 pm  Katie... I think UK casting is a little better... true... But the real reason Europe works better than US is that we are a "conservative" nation. Look at the HG... they are worried about reputation and editing. UK they just have fun... oh.. and BB leaves them alone to their own devices... bottom line... BB in the US has become Big Parent... |
Pondscumtmp | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 10:03 pm  The UK version is still pretty boring, but I do think it was better casted and better managed. Not to mention, they have a hot tub. It appears that Claire--the (uh... enhanced?) alternate that replaced Nasty Nick--has already been voted out. Their feeds crash RealPlayer for me quite often so I don't watch it too much. Just watched a promo for Big Brother Portugal. I don't understand the language, but it appears to show some of the German and Spanish(?) highlights. Those shows appear to have had a _lot_ better characters and more plot than either of the english versions. I think that the curfew and the alcohol ban were the two dumbest things that BB could have done. I watched the live feeds for the first dawn BBQ and the tabletop singing, and everything since has been a major let down. The people currently in the house can be pretty funny when they're drunk and have forgotten some of their inhibitions. I'd like to see BB relax the restrictions; if only for a couple nights a week. Sometimes I wonder if it would have done better on a different network. There is probably a reason why CBS has an ageing demographic. The way BB was run makes me think that they are trying their hardest not to offend their existing audience. The result is a show that doesn't satisfy anyone. I'm going to continue watching because I like seeing what I've missed from the live feeds, but if there was no internet component I would have changed the channel (or likely just turned off the TV) a long time ago. |
Jaybear810 | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 02:27 am  Ledarney--only if she will do naked trampoline! |
Markisimo | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 03:30 am  Pondscumtmp - how did you see that BB Portugal promo? Is it on the web somewhere? |
Remus | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 04:20 am  I think it is worth bringing a new person in just so they can tell Jamie that NOBODY CARES!!!! |
Brzer | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 04:41 am  I, too find it hard to believe they would bring in a new HG. But it would create an instant reaction in George and Cass, Jamie would be in shock ( for a few minutes) as would the other guys with maybe the exception of Eddie who would say it was unfair. Eddie: WTF? Get that girl outta here! (Then stalk off to the bedroom cussing all the way..B****H....haha) BTW I don't drink but those HGs need beer. Eddie and George are having withdrawl pains and Josh might actually become animated with a few drinks. |
Chris | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 08:20 am  Remus: Imagine the look on Jamie's face when she is told "the only thing I ever heard about BB's ratings, was that it was beat by UPN's WWF Smackdown". |
Ewing99 | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 04:14 pm  markismo: the whole portugal HG-Stories had been posted on the german board http://www.bigbrother.bild.de and was archived weeks ago. I think you can still find them there. |
Psp | Tuesday, September 05, 2000 - 02:18 am  Markisimo: Sorry it took so long to respond; I left my password at work and had to sign up for an new account. I saw the clip at http://www.bigbrother.pt/ but apparently they are having site problems right now. I found the link at http://www.orwellproject.com/ |
Ledarney | Tuesday, September 05, 2000 - 09:45 am  I recieved this e-mail from Jordan his morning and am posting it. Jean Jordan Wrote: Your story is correct. Doug Ross called and asked me if I would be willing to go back in tomorrow night. The "houseguests" are going to have a chanceto take $ and run (NO ONE will do it, trust me, they are all too greedy or afraid of facing the world, or both;) which would "open up a spot in the house". They would then have the choice between myself ("Jordan, your former housemate") or an alternate. I know the woman who is the alternate...we actually really got along at finals. She was MY alternate (in case I left) - athletic, very pretty, big attitude...she should have been there in the first place!!!!! I said NO WAY would I put myself on the chopping board and give them a chance to choose, because I KNOW who they would choose. I am too unsafe and confrontational for them. I threaten the Mary Poppins household. The producers would use me ("Stripper Wants Back In! Tune in Wednesday...) to introduce Beth (that's her name) and hopefully boost ratings. Then they would show me slinking away dejected never to be seen again. I told them the only way I would consider it was if they introduced me as "a former houseguest" (then it could be Brittany or Karen, and they would feel guilty and choose that option ;) and give me MAJOR airtime. I said I wanted a sit-down interview with Julie beforehand, and if I wasn't picked I wanted an interview afterwards. They said they wanted things "done a certain way". Uh huh... So that's the deal. Right from the horse's mouth. You don't know how good I feel about sticking to MY TERMS and dodging a bullet tomorrow night. They really don't want me back in there, because they know I would tell everyone about everything and cause a mutiny. They just want me to be a teaser tool. I'm DONE being a CBS tool! Enough! ;) Feel free to post this anywhere, I don't care. ;) jordan Thanks Jordan. |
