Surini | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 11:24 pm     I think I got the idea of how that PR stuff works and how they can put a spin on things..like in their bios under favorite things to do: "reading"...really means they were forced to read a book in an English class but bought the Dell Comic version instead, easier to understand with all the pictures! "hiking"....really means they get up several times in the middle of the night to trudge to the bathroom and back. "working out"...reallys means they tripped over a pile of their dirty laundry in the middle of the floor and, between the time that they tripped and the time they slammed face first into the coffee table, they looked like an Olympic gymnast doing a one and a half full twist mid-air! "cooking"....of course has to mean they blew up a hotdog in the microwave once I think the two who were honest for sure were Amy because she admitted "putting on makeup" as a hobby of hers, and one of the guys who listed "sex" as one of his! |
Luvbb | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 11:32 pm     lol, surini!! i think you may be onto something ;) |
Muse | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 12:48 am     People I think I might like: Chiara (she needs to wise up, though - alliances with people you like shouldn't be a big deal) Jason (eye candy *and* a decent profile - his game plan sounds interesting, too) Lori (seems like a normal enough lady) Marcellas (although I fear he will be a walking stereotype) Roddy (although it's hard to tell much from his profile) Who I think I might dislike: Josh (he's so out of there) Amy (possible Jamie of the group) Lisa (possible Shannon of the group) Danielle (she better have redeeming characteristics if she's already set on being a backstabber) Who I'm not really sure about: Eric Tonya |
Jeneane | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 01:04 am     Muse, What about Gerry? I agree about Josh. He is going to irritate me I can already tell. |
C1mag | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 02:33 am     Amy: If she lives up to her bio shes the first one gone! Gerry: If he really thinks his approach should be father/teacher/leader so he can gain control of bunch of grown adults it will come across as patronizing and hes out early on as well. These aren't kids. Jason: Eye candy for the ladys and girls. Great strategy to align with two other strong individuals but we were told that the game is different so this type of strategy may not be accepted this year. He will be liked. Eric: Holy crap its a brunette Mike booger! Wants to be the fun loving life of the party but only doing if for appearances to get in your head and control you. He will be the star in the beginning but will be an irritant half way through. Josh: This dude will piss people off for his own muse. Not gonna last long at all. Hints of Justin and Megga all the way! Chiara: She has that Monica thing goin on already. Lets all be honest. Lets not honey this is a game! I see BORING written all over her! Lisa: shades of Shanon, but since they have all studied this game they are going to recognize her. Anytime someone admits they are going to cause some trouble you can bet they will only last for a while. For the viewers this one is gonne be fun to rag on. Lori: Watch this one close. Am I the only one that senses she's a Nicole clone? She admits to being verbal. Remember how Nicole started this game? She's gonna be another key player. Danielle: Ok heres my pick for the winner. Shes going into this knowing its a game and she wants to play. Sweet on the outside and ruthless on the inside. LOVE IT!! Lots of possible fun with her. Hope she lives up to her bio. Marcellas: Oh my! Black and gay! They really have out done themselves with this one. By his bio he sounds like hes going to be flying all over that house. This time around I don't think the gay guy is going to last very long. I expect a lot of stereo typical things from him. I'm not referring too the pissed off black man attitude I'm talking about that very femme gay attitude that starts every sentence with.. "Girl" Roddy: Sorry but if he thinks that keeping it honest while exposing the lying is going to get him too the end then he shouldn't unpack just yet. However he may have an ace in the hole to align with and that is..... Tanya: Mommy is gonna play this game with a sidekick and I think it's gonna be with Roddy. They just seem to compliment each other. Shes too old to mix with the 20 somethins but perfect for the 30 somethins. Shes got coattail rider written all over her. These two may be Jasons buddys. Well bios I'm sure aren't really gonna help but it's a start. Lets get this game goin already!! |
Misslibra | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 07:13 pm     I'll wait like Lurknomore to see what they are like. It's hard for me tell how they are just by their bios. |
Muse | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 07:23 pm     Oops - forgot about Gerry. I think I might like him. It seems like he might be a bit out of his element (because of the age factor), but it also sounds like he's thought about how he might try to relate to living with a lot of people younger than him. So who knows - he might surprise us. In any case, I'm glad he doesn't sound like a George-type (that is, goofy). |
Maris | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 07:38 pm     C1mag, I think I agree with you 100%. That was a great post. |
Jeneane | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 07:59 pm     Sounds like Gerry has had a lot of experience with all ages and will be able to fit in and conform to what ever the situation. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 08:19 pm     Sherball.. good to see you.. and I was thinking exactly that.. really hard to judge them on answers to question s on some list. Yes, you can relate to first out and snap evaluations. I can't wait to see them interact. I'm glad your mom will be involved (at least I read somewhere she'll be writing on some site); that's cool.. Those army cots in the "bad" room don't look too cozy!! |
Jesse | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 08:22 pm     Roddy and Eric look like they could be related they look so much alike to me . . . anyone else think they look so much alike? |
Misslibra | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 08:44 pm     Yes they do look a lot a like. Two nice looking guys. |
Dedonjo | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 11:26 pm     Hi all. I'm newly signed up here, but I was here reading faithfully all last season - thanks for all the live feed postings, it was great fun! My first thought after reading Marcellas' bio was that he might be a real character, and lots of fun to watch- he is who he is, and no bones about it. Sounds like he's a happy person and he might bring some good humor to the house. And some interesting dynamics... The other person I'm looking forward to "getting to know" is Gerry - as a teacher he might well have some really good "people skills", and could do very well at fitting in with the younger crowd... Tonya interests me, she listed Howard Stern and Fear Factor as favorites?! What does that say about her personality, do you suppose? It's gonna be fun! |
Misslibra | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 11:32 pm     Hi Dedonjo, and welcome. We have three days to go, and it will be fun! |
Dedonjo | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 12:05 am     Thanks, Misslibra Picture the possible scenarios involving Eric, who walks and talks in his sleep- Do you suppose he does it a lot? Envision, as the game gets going, people sneaking around to try and get info out of him while he is sleeping -talking to him, trying to get him to talk, and all in secret (maybe with a partner standing guard or something) so that in case he says something significant, they will be the only one to hear... And what if he says something in his sleep that makes someone mad? Do they confront him? Can he be held responsible for what he says in his sleep?! What if he sleepwalks into the kitchen some night when they are short on food, and eats food that is being rationed or something. |
Jeneane | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 12:12 am     You know I have heard of people who sleep eat. He will make the late night (early morning) interesting. |
Car54 | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 02:29 pm     There are posts over at Realiiity.com that Gerry Lancaster won $10,500 on the game show The Chair last season. Guess that means he has pretty good self-control. They have pictures posted- don't know if this link will work..I think you have to be registered there to read: Gerry on The Chair Where's Ketchuplover? He watched that show didn't he? |
Delilah | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 03:34 pm     My first impressions: Amy : Stereotypical southern belle who is used to getting her own way. Acts like a little girl for the men and a dumb blonde "who me?" little miss innocent for the girls. "I tend to act like a five-year-old child when I don't get my way. I'm really spoiled." Yawn.... she is going to grate on my nerves. "I also fear living out of one suitcase for three months" Lets hope she gets the sleeping bag on the floor and throws a big tantrum! Fun on the live feeds with Amy wooohoooo!! Strategy : "I'm too silly and giggly to be a threat..." Only problem is, it isn't really a strategy, it is reality and she will be a threat. I hope she won't last long but unfortunately I think the guys will keep her in. Chiara: I like this girl already. Her problem could be however that she wears her honesty on her sleeve and can't play dirty. We all know you have to play dirty to win BB (Go Will!!!) or you have to keep quiet about not wanting to compromise your morals and ethics (Monica) "I really want to play fair. I don't want to form nor join an alliance. I really want to make sure I don't pick favorites or quickly trust anyone" The name of the game is form as many alliances as possible (Will) and use (and or manipulate) the information you discover against everyone while lying through your teeth. Unfortunately, I don't think she will least long. Again, she is eye candy for the guys and I think the women will like her too, but there seem to be too many tough women this year and she seems too emotional. Danielle: I like her too. It must have been difficult to get where she is in her career while raising a family. Unfortunately I think perhaps she missed out on those all important late teen-twenties years and may go a tad wild in the house. She seems tough, attractive and brutally honest (no flies on her!) I can't help but compare her to Monica but I think she will be a LOT more verbal! She may get in people's faces however and be seen as a threat. Unfortunately I don't think she will last long either. She reminds me of Kent too in that respect. She has the advantage of being attractive but tough - both men and women will see her as a threat. Eric: My advice "Don't try to be Will!" This guy will be one to watch and very entertaining too. The ladies will love him. Can't wait to see the alliances he will form and what he will divulge in his sleep. Gerry: I am going to like him a lot. I think his biggest advantage is that most everyone will trust him. The father/mentor type but unlike Kent, I think he will be liked by everyone and will fly low under the radar, he will go far. Jason: Eye candy. The girls will go nuts for him and the guys will like him too. Or he could be too nice and therefore annoying. Emotional people don't go very far in this game, honest people too. Unfortunately I don't think his good looks will keep him in the game very long. Josh: Overestimates himself. I think he will form strategies and get the most air time. So reminds me of the Booger! I was hoping there wouldn't be a Booger clone! Let's face it, these guys obviously watched BB2 and probably the live feeds and probably tried to identify with someone (or were stereotyped by CBS) and are there as a stereotype. Each one of them represents a slice of mainstream America and this guy screams "party boy slacker" and annoying. He will talk of nothing but sport and sex. I also think he will be crude. Doesn't he know what happened to Justin?!! Will be fun to watch but his antics will get old and he will be booted early. Lisa: Dominatrix? Street smart, been around the block a few times. Strong no-nonsense woman. Also, possibly a female Booger? Oh No! One clone was bad enough.... Overly confident - will be hated by the girls a la Shannon but her biggest advantage is that I think she is able to play people off one another. Could go far, not sure yet. Lori: Reminds me of Nicole already, that is enough for me to cringe. I will try my best to give her a huge chance, I already feel guilty for the associating her with Nicole. Of all the HGs profiles, she is the one I cannot pass judgement on - yet Marcellas: I am going to adore him, but others might not. He may be a bit too "flaming" and therefore annoy the heck out of the guys (especially the raging heterosexuals, ahem.... Josh) Also, his "massive ego" may be crushed quickly and he won't quite know how to go on without it. I think he is used to a lot of attention and may not be too happy if he doesn't get it. Also, the BB house is not NY or LA, so some of the HGs may not be too amused by him. Seems to be less emotional and more egotistical. Hopefully the girls will love him, and share info with him as he styles their hair and tells them they look fabulous! I am going to enjoy watching how this plays out! Roddy: A hockey fan, nuff said, I adore him! Seems intelligent, fun and cunning. He is my favorite so far (well solely based on the profiles) I am going to root for him to win (subject to change of course!) Definitely reminds me of Will and seems to think he has an air tight strategy already. I hope he can think on his feet and stay focussed. Go Roddy!! Tonya: Hmmmm, I really do not want to comment. It could get me into a lot of trouble. Just my two cents. Bring it awwnnnn!!! |
Iceprincess | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 04:22 pm     I am gonna add my Amy: Self centered she is gonna drive me nuts! Chiara: One to watch. I think she just may be too honest for her own good. Danielle: Another one to watch. Don't know what it is about her but I like her. Eric: Reminds me of Will. He gives me the heebeegeebees. Gerry: Big fatherly type. It will be interesting to see how he plays his "role". Jason: Cute eyecandy. Nice attitude. He may just be too nice. Josh: I do NOT like this guy based on his profile or the commercial. I hate slackers as it is. Strikes me as the homophobic one. Lisa: Another one to watch, she has a good attitude. I like that she says she is evil. Wonder if she is the athiest. Lori: This one seems bubbly and entertaining. I like her, I don't see the Nicole reference tho. Marcellas: Not too sure other then he seems rather flamboyant. Should be entertaining. Roddy: He has his strategy all picked out. I bet he is one of the first to go. I can almost bet he is the religious one. Tonya: Can we say cheesy. I will get sick of her "kid" stories quick. I think she will be the first one to cry. All in all this group seems quite interesting. I can't wait for the feeds to start!!! Kris |
Amac | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 04:45 pm     Car, the link works fine. What's interesting about the pics posted there is that on his apparance on The Chair he was clean shaven (and wearing glasses)--almost looks like a different guy. Take a look, everyone. Do you like him with or without the beard? |
Car54 | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 04:51 pm     Definitely Beard. Much better looking with the beard and I am sure we will see the glasses at some point. Did anyone notice in his interview, he said he would miss doing projects with his wife, but he is divorced? |
Delilah | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 05:15 pm     Iceprincess, I hope you are wrong about Roddy! I agree with you about Josh however, his profile is working against him already. Car, I noticed that too, perhaps they are still friends or he is remarried (for a third time?!) I am hoping they are still friends, that would make me like him even more. Yet again, it could just be a typo LOL. |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 05:24 pm     Car54 I have enough trouble remembering my name let alone an episode of a game show. |
Zeyna | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 05:29 pm     Good catch Car & Delilah That's an interesting hiccup - or they are still friends, who knows.. I also noticed that Roddy will most miss watching hockey, which is unfortunately not on in the summer |
Car54 | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 05:29 pm     hahahahahahahahaha....now I was sure you were gonna be a spoiler on this one, Ketchup! |
