Please Lisa, Please be on Big Brother
Missy2 | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 05:09 pm     ...is anyone listening to this? She is saying that someone asked her to audition. The people who apply must be annoyed.... |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 05:16 pm     But I have to say it is kind of heartwarming to listen to Danielle tell her story of making the video and sending it in and being picked. At least Danielle being picked the old fashioned way gives the show a bit of credibility. Did you hear Lisa say she was chosen for the show a mere two weeks ago? As in, as of two weeks ago, they hadn't finished casting the show? Is this why they screw up background checks--because they throw people in at the last minute? |
Amac | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 05:19 pm     Gerry and Jason have both stated they were asked to apply for BB3, so Lisa makes three. That is good to hear about Danielle. That proves at least the BB3 tryouts this spring weren't 100% sham. |
Spygirl | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 05:32 pm     How much better this show would be with 12 people who were as excited about applying as Danielle. How hard is this for the producers to figure out?? |
Moondance | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 05:35 pm     I agree with you Spy! It's too bad... I like Lisa but how great to have the enthusiasm that Daniel has! |
Tabbyking | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 05:38 pm     they must have been short of contestants because a very few weeks ago there was an open audition call in los angeles. i think it was june 13 or 18th--something like that. it was going to be for the entire day. i saw it in the newspaper here in california. so it's very possible some of these people were auditioned starting only a couple of weeks before going into the house on july 6. |
Missy2 | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 07:09 pm     Ya, Danielle's story was good. Her audition tape sounds great!! |
Espen | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 07:12 am     The strange thing though is they keep saying they had 5000 applications, twice as many as last time.. Wonder why they they needed to "handpick" that many.. Of course, how do we know these people aren't being creative to make themselves seem like less of a "geek/loser" by supposedly not applying.. Especially if some have said this, I can see a strong insentive to not tell the truth abou this.. But then, maybe I am being naiive.. |
Ryn | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 07:35 am     Josh was also "recruited" from the way he tells it. Last week he said he only applied 4 weeks earlier. Jason, being a big BB fan, most likely applied the normal way. |
Retired | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 08:57 am     And thought I read in the Chiara's Code thread that this Roger guy had something to do with her getting on the show with his connections (or did I read it wrong?) |
Hoon4vr | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:05 am     Everything is about connections - it's all "who you know" - I thought the so-called reality genre would be an exception to that and give everyone a chance, but apparently that is not the case. I've had the same problem trying to get published - if you don't have a cousin at the publishing company, they're not interested. Somehow, someday, this "having an in" thing needs to be challenged and changed! |
Keiffer | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:08 am     Of course I am a guy, but I am very happy they found LIsa, and put her in the house. I really don't care how they cast the show. Whether they only use the tape auditions, open casting calls, or sending people out looking for people. As long as they have the show, and that they get people that make a decent mix. I love this years cast, I think after a couple of evictions this is going to get very good. It is impossible for the producers to put 12 people that everyone on here would like, but if they put a strong cast together who cares how they got them. |
Realtvfan | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:13 am     The issue of "filling" out the roster goes all the way back to Rudy on SI. Rudy was a personal friend of Mark Burnett. I very much agree that the game would be much more fun to watch for me without "ringers", but maybe that is just me. Based on 4 Survivors and 3 BB casts, we all know that there is now a well documented standard formula to these shows. If they do not get what they need in the open calls for tapes, they fill in appropriately. |
Floresmama | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:16 am     Sorry to continue OT but I really like Lisa also I just wish she was better at picking her friends in the house. Or maybe I will be pleasantly suprise to find out she is playing up to the bimbos as part of the game. I think we have more people here who are actually intent on playing the game this time |
Floresmama | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:17 am     Sorry I guess my last post wasn't OT I forgot I changed threads. DUH! |
