Columbus | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 03:45 pm  Columbus is really a WMF, 59 yrs. old, retired from Medical Technology and I live in Pa. and Fl. I plan my whole social life around BB. We never go out on Weds. or Sat. nite and I double tape to make sure I don't miss a show, and have the whole BB experience on tapes(I'm on my 8th.) I am so far behind in a lot of things because I like to watch the live feeds a lot. When my husband is not home I have the volume up as high as it will go. I do not have one friend or relative who watches BB, so if it wasn't for this site I would have nowhere to vent my anger and joy. I have no particular favorite HG, but I really would like to see Jamie gone Weds. |
Jan | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 03:47 pm  Ok -- guess I can't always be just a lurker. I'm a 46 y/o divorced mother of two -- a 19 y/o who just started college (UMKC --still lives at home)and a 7 y/o (I give tips on family planning in my spare time) My job was eliminated in mid-July so I have a few months of salary and have never had any time away from working -- Big Brother helped me decide to postpone really looking until the end of September. Curtis and Eddie have been my favorites from the start. |
Maya | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 03:59 pm  Q: So why do we feel the need to view this "addiction" in a negative light, like it's a sickness or something? How is this any different than watching Monday Night Football every week or collecting stamps,etc? We are passionate...this brings us joy...and no harm to anyone...except those waiting for our attention I guess? |
Bigbrotherchick | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 04:02 pm  35 Year old female, House Wife / Web Designer. No kids, but a dog who is my baby. I am a TV addict.. Watch ALL the reality based shows.. even "Making The Band" (Can you imagine?) My favorite other shows (As if there were any other kind) are : Ally McBeal That 70's Show Sex And The City Malcolm In The Middle Friends... I am a music addict too. I have over 3000 MP3's and am trying to get my entire Vinyl (Which is also a dead give away of my age) collection in MP3 form. That's me... BBC |
Sugar | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 04:05 pm  Hi all, Sugars alter ego likes to think of herself as 36. Currently live in the midwest, and have a temporary position as a fundraiser in the non profit arena. I believe my unemployment was responsible for my dedication to BB. Now my temp job has only a few weeks left and BB is nearly over! I sincerely hope Curtis takes the big $. I think he is the most deserving and can use the money just as much as the rest of them can. I have very much enjoyed posting on this board, I thank many of you for the insight and laughter you have given me and hope some of my post were able to do the same for you. |
Smrtass | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 04:18 pm  Thanks for sharing, everybody. I'm a 45 year old retired speech pathologist and I've been married for 24 years. We have a 13 year old son and our 16 year old son died last December. We are doing our best to survive this loss. My husband and younger son have been pretty understanding about my BB addiction, mostly because they've seen me through other addictions from which I've recovered. I want Eddie to win; there's just something about him that I've liked from the beginning, and although Curtis has been my favorite for some time, I'll sacrifice him for Eddie if necessary. My 'honeymoon' period with Curtis is over and I've started to see chinks in his armor, so it must be time for the show to end. Go Eddie! |
Nance | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 04:19 pm  Ok ...Let me jump in too Hello and nice to meet everyone online here. I am a 46 wmf ,married for 17 years.I have two children one 27 and one that resides in the after-life she was 16 when she died,would of been almost 18 now. I am an RN,Ba and I work part-time at STOP, (Soberiety Through Outpatient) in Philly. I live right now in So. Jersey and will be moving in Nov. BB has helped me pass my time and this site has been number one !!!!!!! Great entertainment and some very interesting post. I like Eddie, Curtis, Jamie and Josh ....like to see Eddie,Curtis and Jamie get the money! They have played the game well and Josh seems to be floundering,too wishey-washey,flying low under the radar...don't realize he is there. Eddie's mom lost her brother to HIV in Maine,Eddie said his uncle was always good to him and he was there with his Mom when he died...the horror Eddie woke up to was to the sound of the black bag being being zipped up...he'll never forget it. I hope Eddie gets enpugh money to pay off his families house and move them.....Go Eddie ! |
Juki | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 04:20 pm  Hi All I am a 55 yr old female, bookkeeper, two grown sons married 38 yrs. Who watches BB at 5pm and then again at 8pm just in case I missed something the first time. I watch all the Live feeds till the HG go to bed. Yes I am addicted and don't know what I am going to do next week. I am sure my husband will be glad for it to be over I have altered our lives to watch BB this is so sick LOL. |
Smrtass | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 04:31 pm  I said: "I've started to see chinks in his armor..." (blushing) Really, that wasn't a pun or racist dig. I noticed it after I posted and was rereading. Hi, Nance. Looks like we have something in common. Sorry to hear of your loss. |
Egbok77 | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 04:43 pm  Egbok here. I'm 46y/o. Married for 22 years. We have three children, one daughter 19y/o in her 2nd year of college; two sons 15 & 16y/o in high school. I never finished college to become a nurse as I had intended, instead choosing to be a "stay at home mom". While the kids went to school, I always worked P.T. jobs in the clerical/medical field to keep my sanity and I was always taking some type of class to keep up my knowledge base and skills. Now that my daughter is going to an expensive private college, I am working F.T. as Data Management for a Medical Staff Services Department at a major hospital (I LOVE my job and feel so blessed to have been hired "at my age"). I am addicted to BB and at first I was questioning myself about this activity. And, oh yeah, my husband and sons were questioning me too. Then I thought, what the heck!, I deserve to do whatever I want with my free time, so here I've been and just loving every moment. I appreciate all you who have posted some interesting discussions for me to ponder. I'll probably be checking in with The TV Clubhouse every now and then and I hope to see some familiar screennames. BTW, Egbok=Everything's Going To Be Okay (when I was a teenager, my mom used to listen to an LA radio station with that mantra and I've always remembered it). |
Kay | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 09:13 pm  Ok I'm really supprised to find myself watching BB. I did not watch Survivor and really pooh poohed BB until 2 weeks ago......when I discovered Jokers site which led me to this site which led me to actually watch the show and now Im hooked. Sorry I should introduce myself Im a 41 GWF Canadian (born in the UK). I am an Artist but would starve if I were not fortunate enougth to work in Theatre. (George should check out openings in the props departments of his local theatres. I think he would be brilliant ) Anyway my point is that the show would not work for me without the internet. Both the Live feed udates and these disscussion boards make a (lets face it) a not very interesting TV show fascinating. I look forward to see more of this interactive TV/NET thing......but it"s important to me that the site be independent of the TV production company AND be moderated. My pick was for Cas now it's for Curtis. I wish people would lay off Jamie she hurts no one and is still very unsure of herself and vunerable. Well thats my 2 cents worth I will now return to lurking. |
Admin | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 09:16 pm  You all post at your own risk! I don't take any responsibility for what you say here or what result saying it may bring. And yes, this conversation will eventually end up in the User Profiles area. |
Nance | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 09:17 pm  Oh Geesh Smrtass sorry to hear that we have this is common....my breaks for us all, that have suffered the loss a child. Maybe you could e-mail me ? Sure would like to hear from you. |
Momectect | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 09:38 pm  Hi, I'm a 50 year old mother of four 17, 25,26,30 and a grandmother of two, 6 and 8. I work 3 part time jobs and in my spare time I breed dogs and watch BB. I really got hooked on the show after finding this board and have tried my best to get my family interested to no avail. My 25 year old son graduated from Texas A&M last year and moved to California. He was in gifted and talented programs all through school and is a lot more worried on how his niece and nefue are going to get through collage than their mother is. Josh reminds me so much of him that he has been my favorite from the start. |
Shipwreck | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 09:43 pm  45 yr old married female, web designer Live in 2 places. Seattle and New Zealand. passion is weather and sailing. used to be a beta tester for prodigy in the old days. |
Caged | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 10:25 pm  Hi everyone! I am a 33yr old hairdresser...never married...no children...I have a dog, Mickey which is my only baby for now. I can relate to Eddie's situation. My father, who I lost 2 yrs ago, lost both his legs due to illness and my aunt, who lives with me, lost one leg in a car accident. Eddie has been an inspiration ( in which I have told his mom ) to my entire family because of his courage and determination to do all he can do despite his disability. |
Newvoice | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 10:41 pm  Hey guys! I'm 26, female, just got married! Live in NYC, was a poor, no $$ Yale undergrad, now a poor, no $$ grad student. I will be in debt to Sallie Mae for quite awhile. BB certainly is not helping me get work done. Watched more before school started, but this is still fun. I want Curtis to win! (And I _really_ didn't like Jamie before, but now I think she's gotten a bad rap, so am happy she outlasted scary George.) |
Ryn | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 10:46 pm  i have posted on the user profile area EONS ago (you have to look on the old board), and I was thinking "why don't these people post in user profiles!!!! but now that I have reached the end I want to add my own - lol. 35 yr old male, married, 3 boys (7,4, and 15 months). I work as a network admin, systems admin, computer geek, whatever you want to call it (anything computer related I do for my employer). I wanted the house guests to walk out, but since thats not gonna happen I want Eddie to win (or at least stay to the end). I have been a 'moderator' since neil asked me to do it way back when. I am proud to say I was the 1st 'moderator' on the bbfc, but I need to add that I am NOT the hardest working one (thats YOU Gail!!!). It was great reading all of your 'profiles' !!!! |
Bmwidows | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 10:46 pm  Okay, why not... Single 27 male, in "Sunny" Southern California. I was never really into the show but i would watch after survivor and see those boring live shows.... Anyways, i began looking at the live feeds and somehow or another found this site... What a mistake that was!!! LOL... Ever since then i have been hooked.... I don't know what it is but i know i am comforted by the fact that i am not alone.... This online community has been a very interesting place to visit. Helping post on the live feeds or join in discussions here has been great... I want Curtis, Eddie, Jaime and Josh to go in that order.... If Josh would have only stood up for 1 thing ... ah but i digress anyways.... Talk to you guys later... Oh and i only watch this show other than that it's Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, because it's on Sunday Hehehehe.. I have a problem... |
Kiari | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 10:53 pm  OkOk I give....... Kiari is... Im a 23 yr old single female. I live in the Wash DC area. I just bought my first house two months ago so I HAVE NO MONEY! I can't afford to go out with all my friends so I stay here in my new home and entertain myself (mostly with BBFC) I am a big fan of Josh and would like to see him win it all. |
Kiari | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 10:55 pm  Oh god forbid I forgot to mention the love of my life.....My Dog, She is 3 years old Rottie Choc Lab mix. Most beautiful animal on this earth, too bad she thinks she's human! Ohhhh and her name is Kiari;) |
Maya | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 10:57 pm  This is soooo cool...looks like we've started our own BB2 on this thread...it's refreshing to focus on other wonderful lives for a minute vs those 10 under the microscope since July 4th! Glad to see so many lurkers give posting a try too. Let's keep it going |
Maya | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 11:00 pm  Kiari--my dog's name is Maya...great minds think alike! |
Zelda | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 11:09 pm  Hi...Okay, I give, too! I am a TP Angel and love my job! I will continue to serve my fellow posters. I have been with the board almost from the beginning. This is the first time I have ever been part of a discussion board (but I have done Charlie's Angel missions in College) I live in Venice, California ... the Venice canals are so beautiful and I feel so blessed. The hint of Italy with the beach a half a block away. I rescue animals and the area is full of animal lovers so it makes it convenient. I am an actor and yes I have studied and will continue to learn as this is the way I feel to hone a craft (hint hint ... Jamie). With the Actors/Sag commercial strike and between projects, I have some extra time on my hands. I also have a few scripts that I am working on ... I will finish as soon as this show is over, my missions are complete and I get back to my life So that is about it. I am a single, fun, 30ish woman, loving life in California. Thanks to everyone for feeding my addiction! I want Eddie to win! |
Kiari | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 11:10 pm  Maya i think your right!! |
