Ryn | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:30 am     Okk.... being a spoilsport here and saying... I thought this was meant for short Q & A's - lol I think the Music thing has been answered yes?? ;) next Q? |
Maris | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:32 am     To me Roddy has the best strategy of all. He is pulling the strings and nobody realizes it. I find him the most interesting to watch. He is playing Chiara and is controlling her. By controlling her he is controlling Lisa and Tonya and then Josh falls into line. I dont think any of them even have a clue. I do sense a little bit of competititon between him and Eric and it is good natured right now but I think Eric is a competitor and that will be Roddys threat. Roddy is also staying under the radar with the "coalition" so he can switch sides at the drop of a hat and won't appear to be a hypocrite. Lets wait and see but I am betting Roddy makes it to the final two. |
Ryanc2002 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:32 am     I agree, they will, but it's unnecessary paranoia and fear of being sued in a sue-happy society. Also, legally speaking, if it went to court and CBS fought it, BMI/RIAA would have to prove that they were losing money. |
Ryanc2002 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:33 am     Sorry Ryn... |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:34 am     awwwww Ryn....--bows head-- I sowwy. Katrina--I think the strategies are all the same, lay low, be a jerk, try to allign...etc...Nothing strikes me as original...Other then the core 4 and hopless 2. I can't wait to see what happens next with that. |
Faerygdds | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:41 am     I think The "issue" started because Will and the gnag cost them a lot last year with their live show performance of ... "I Will Survive". Sorry Ryn... just had to add that one last comment. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:47 am     Faerygdds shhhhhh.. how did last years game cost them? I haven't heard this.. |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:58 am     --does a dance-- I have a question I have a question... Does anyone know why they "yelled" at Roddy and Chiara for sleeping in the hammock (I know their eyes were just closed) but anyone else like Gerry can fall asleep wherever he wants? |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:02 am     BB is fickle, they yell when they want to - they let people sing when they want to.... ;) |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:06 am     I don't like that answer LOL *makes up one on her own* Big Brother is based on people watching so....it be better to yell at people who are going to get hostile over it and rehash it 2 BAZILLION times so we have something to watch rather then Gerry going...ummmmm ok. |
Ryanc2002 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:09 am     *shrugs shoulders* Because hammocks aren't made for knocking boots? |
Faerygdds | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:09 am     Zach. last year During one of the live eviction shows they planned it out - it was cute... They knew Julie would ask will what it was like being nominated, well he started out taking the first couple of lines... First I was afraid... I was Petrified... Thinkning I could never live without you by my side... etc then the whole house broke into the chorus singing. They got yelled at the next day and Will's joke (don't know if it's true or not) was - I guess we cost Arnie on that one... I didn't think about royalties... He still thought it was hilarious. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:18 am     I remember that happening..(I miss him).. People in everyday life sing to themselves.. and this is supposed to be a "reality" show.. I would think record companies would encourage the singing..After seeing Will and gang singing..the song was stuck in my head..shoot..If I hadn't already owned the song I might have bought it!! |
Beagle | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:35 am     They have refered many times to "being sequestered after the show". Anyone know more on this? |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:46 am     Beagle.. Someone forgot to tell them this isn't survivor.. |
Beagle | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:49 am     LOL okay, gotcha Zachsmom  |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 10:50 am     I know this is OT, but is Survivor a shorter time period? I would think that is why they sequester the voters. Easier to keep them there for the next castoff. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:01 am     Yes IcePrincess..I think it's 45 days and I think they only keep the last 6 contestants on the island..I don't think they are sequestered..just there.. |
Maris | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:07 am     It could be they sequester voters because if they are not sequestered they can get access to what was presented in the feeds that they were unaware of. That brings the outside world into their decision making. They want these people to vote based on their experience in the house not based on anything they find out afterwards. Survivor is different because there isnt the 24/7 feed going. Lets say a survivor comes out and reads the boards on the net, all they will read is what was presented on the tv shows. Whereas a HG coming out and reading the boards will get a lot more information about what was going on in the house that they missed. My two cents. |
Beagle | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:12 am     Okay, so we don't know for sure either way if they will be sequestered after the show or not? This might just be speculation on the HG's part? |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:13 am     Beagle..they haven't for the last 2 Big Brothers..don't know why they'd do that now.. |
Beagle | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:15 am     I dunno either but it seems to me like they might know something we don't. I guess it's a wait and see thing right now. We'll know more after the first boot.  |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:21 am     The only reason I see them sequestering the HGs is because AS wants to be more like Survivor. Afterall Survivor totally beats BB in the ratings game. Which after thinking about this, the HGs were talking about BB saying things would be twisted around during the game. Which leads me to believe that I think they will do a rich/poor thing when it gets down to like 8 or so contestants. Afterall who would voluntarily sleep on the cot? Oh...another thought I have to applaud Jason for continuing to sleep on that wood thing. He has not switched beds. I AM impressed! |
Katrina | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:45 am     Last year, the contestants who had left the house and then came back to vote at the end were so far removed from the context of the game by then. They had all kinds of time in the interim to talk to each other, to catch up on BB2 videotapes and LFP's, and to get the perspective of what the remaining HG's said behind their backs and in the DR. In a way, it is kind of unfair to play the game well in the house, make it to the final two, and then get voted on by people who got to go out and form an opinion based on things other than what they saw, heard, or suspected you did while they were in the house with you. On the other hand, it seems like it would be expensive and really inconvenient to sequester all departing HG's until the final vote. In theory, it would make the game "fairer", but it seems impractical in the real world, unless they've got a much bigger budget this year or have some other, related tricks up their sleeves. |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:48 am     Maybe the one way they can do this without sequestering is to make the evicted HG place the remaining players in an order. And the one who is first on their list out of the final 2 gets their vote. That way it is just based upon what they know of the person while they are in the house. |
