BB1, BB2, and BB3
Forlori | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 09:28 am     I am a big fan of Big Brother and wanted to give my thoughts on the differences between the first, second and third BBs. I guess I often like going with the underdog. In BB1 my favorite was Jamie. I know that was a very unpopular opinion, but it was nonetheless how I felt. If you recall, BB1 had three winners and I liked Joshua and Curtis, and had mixed feelings about Eddie. In BB2, I was rooting for Hardy. I also liked Bunky and Monica. I started BB3 really really liking Lori. I thought and still do that she was head and shouders above the rest and was very sorry to see her go. Now that she is gone, my faves are Amy and Jason, and maybe Danielle. Though I still will watch each and every show, I am disappointed in the HG's this year. Lisa and Chiara are these young chicks with their perfect bodies, hooking up with Roddy and Eric and thinking they are all that. I originally liked Roddy till I got his number. And Tonya is just too sin city perfect to even go there. BB3 HG's have had a lot to study, given BB1 and BB2's history. Dr. Will from BB2 taught them that to be deceptive and cruel will win them the game. The BB1 HG's had a decency and niceness to them that isn't seen in BB3. BB1 and BB2 had several people in their 40's, to bounce off the 20 somethings. This time we only have Gerry in his 50's, and everyone else in their 20's and 30's. All around, it would have made a much more interesting mix to have had various ages. Having said that, I'm still a big fan, as the basic idea of the show totally draws me. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts regarding BB1 and BB2 favorites, and the difference in the makeup between the other shows and BB3. Thanks for listening! |
Cmc209 | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 09:56 am     Let's not forget about Cassandra from BB1!! http://www.geocities.com/cassandrabigbrother/ I wonder what ever happened to the rest of the BB1 cast - I think I've heard things about Brittany, but what about the rest? |
Babyruth | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 10:01 am     I posted an informal update on Thursday. Here's the link: ../10972/28942.html?1027030969 |
Way2prissy | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 10:20 am     I agree with you Forlori. BB1 was a much kinder, gentler season. But for ratings purposes, I think BB2 took the cake. The Evil Doctor was so bad he was good. However, I was never fond of Jaimie. She went into the BB1 house but didn't want to vote anyone out. She was so nice it wasn't normal. BB3--it's too soon to tell if it will be the best season yet. |
Crossfire | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 10:56 am     BB1 was pretty boring. You have to figure, some were rolling dice to do noms. That's pretty darn anticlimatic. oOOooo, a 5. Of course, that was our fault for evicting all the interesting people right away. Some people watch this game like they are trying to select people for a church committee rather than a competitive gameshow. That's why we are still not allowed to vote. Imagine last year had we voted out CT straight away, think back on the highlights of the season, and replace each one of them with a card game. From what I can tell, if we could vote this year, Jason would win. Nothing wrong with that, but it does not make for good TV, or good internet message boards. You can only have so many threads complimenting the guy for basically doing nothing. |
Cinder | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 11:25 am     On BB1 the girls always showered in a bathing suit and always did everything they could to not expose themselves. Things are much different now. |
Bmh | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 11:34 am     I agree Crossfire..maybe BigBrother 1 had more "real" people..but that doesn't make the show interesting or entertaining..it was just boring..I hated all those long conversations about nothing on the first season..and the casting was bad too..basically the bigbrother 1 format was a big flop But then.... BigBrother 2 arrived and saved the day..there was relationships,strategizing,backstabbing,more exciting challenges,fighting,voting each-other off..etc. etc..now that was good tv..the people may have not been the most relatable..but it was a fun show to watch.. And now Big Brother 3 is the same way..and Im really starting to enjoy it now..reality tv shows are suppose to be exciting and this season is turning out to be just that with the brillant veto twist and new interesting players..now lets just sit back and enjoy the show! |
Niceguy | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 12:25 pm     Eddie should not have won. He was very similar to Justin and Josh but the viewing public never saw that they just saw this disabled guy. The public had the vote and that was, well, its been hashed over here enough. |
Caramella | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 01:55 pm     I've watch all three shows, but I found to be the downfall of the first show is the producers tried to create drama that really wasn't there. The group was a much more tamer group, which is fine, but the public voted out people without really giving them a chance. The real "drama" was never shown on the 6 night a week(way too much BB in one week) episodes, therefore it came across as boring. Oh, and lets not forget about George's town creating a voting scam to get Brittany out of the house. Now, BB2 was a much better show, from an entertainment standpoint, plus the public no longer was in control. Though, I wasn't crazy about the last two finalists...overall it was enjoyable, with just enough drama to keep viewers coming back for more. BB3, still too early to tell. It seems that now reality shows have become such a staple on network tv, we are constantly hearing the contestants refer to other previous game show winners. We have Josh trying to pull off the Dr. Evil/Boogie persona...but its not working. One things for sure, this season seem to be more sex-driven, opposed to real human communication. So, I guess I'll be able to give a better critique as the dynamics of the house changes over the weeks. |
Lizardsamongus | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 09:35 pm     I believe BB1 was the best. The hgs were accountable to us. We had the vote, we had the banners, and we had free feeds. It was an interactive show. I do like the HOH idea. Other than that I do not enjoy watching a show that makes Howard Stern look tame. I also would have liked a few 40 somethings this year. I don't like the profanity, I don't like the sex talk, and I don't like the nudity. What I do like is the scheming and conniving. I cancelled my feeds this year. Hg's who are entertaining and can communicate are much more interesting than naked bodies and graphic details about someone's sex life. When some people found BB1 to be boring BB then swung way to the other extreme by appealing to the lowest common denominator. But what can I say I am still addicted, I just don't watch the feeds. Favorites were: BB1: Cassandra, Josh, and Jamie. BB2: Kent, Hardy, and Will-post chilltown. BB3: Jason, Lori, Roddy. |
