Faerygdds | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 11:13 am     Yes.. I will be back again this year... can't wait... you saved my butt a few times last year before the great decline hit! You doing LFPs this year too? |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 11:15 am     I'm not sure yet.. I'll let some of the others have a chance, but then when you see something not being covered, you feel COMPELLED to jump in... LOL. My kids are already complaining about not getting any computer time. Just wait!! |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 11:21 am     I am recording CBS again on my computer... I actually have images from last night but am haing problems - need to convert them at home, not here. So hopefully I will have our own images soon.... I would rather not lift them from another site. ;) |
Faerygdds | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 11:30 am     OMG... I haven't watched CBS soaps all day long since... oooohhh.... 1992???? I am so totally LOST! And worse... I'm sucked back in... |
Faerygdds | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 11:33 am     Commercial was just on (for those trying to keep track so that they can catch the next one) |
Keiffer | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 11:42 am     Actually the pics I saw had at least one woman that looked to be in at least the late 30's. I don't know how "old" you guys want people to be but we are back to same old argument of "normal" people or young attractive in it for the xposure people. Myself I want the young people that are going to have fun together, flirt (maybe even sexual tension), and all want to be in the house a long time to get additional face time on TV. Sure "older people can come in with the stereo type issues like missing their family so much they cry, or are homophobics, or racist, but outside of that they really add nothing to the show. |
Jeneane | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 12:17 pm     Hi, I am new to the board but I just can't contain my excitement so I had to find others to share it with. I looked at the pics of the "new house guests" and they all seem to look exactly like a former guest. |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 12:48 pm     Keiffer, I can see we are going to have a colorful and animated BB season To me it's not just the specific age of a HG. But generally folks in their early 20's don't have a lot of life experiences or interesting stories and philosophies to share. Personally I just don't find endless hours of hearing "yes, like for sure," about what makes a good drink or their shopping habits, coupled with drinking, smoking, card playing and giggling interesting. Certainly some flirtations or perish the thought a relationship might make things interesting. My point is that if they chose HG's from a broader spectrum of life, ages and diversities, the interactions then would be tons more interesting to watch and listen to. For example, picture the interaction if HGs are forced to get to know each other, and one is a young, privileged spoiled girl and another is an older man from the inner city who has worked hard to make ends meet his whole life. Or a Beverly Hills matron and a young man from the projects. Don't laugh but how about someone who was raised Amish and left and is struggling between worlds? I think there have been no interesting combination of lifestyles and people, and that is something new that would greatly add to the show. Why oh why doesn't Arnold Shapiro call me and use some of these ideas  |
Jeneane | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:02 pm     Lurknomore, I have to agree with you. I also have to say that if Keiffer is right that older people have nothing left to offer, ie..Sexual tension etc. I may as well curl up and blow away. Luckily others don't share that opinion. After all it seemed that Sharon would have provided plenty had the "young folks" not tried to be so witty and smart. |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:11 pm     The ages last year were much 'older' than on BB1 - we all noticed how much 'older' the average age was. I think they will keep about the same age range, one of the women seemed to be about Sheryls age from her voice (she had a smokers voice to me). hard to judge age on those 2 second images and with them all made up for TV ;) |
Jeneane | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:14 pm     Some with a little pizzaz and character like Brittny and George would be nice. Too bad they didn't ask fans for a wish list. |
Keiffer | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:27 pm     I can agree with some of your commments Lurknomore. The one point I would make is that it was the "older" people that seemed to want to sit around, and either smoke, or smoke and play cards most of the time last year. I wouldn't mind older people if they were like you described. I mean if they had had interesting lives in the peace corps, or something that lent intself to great story telling. Just having more life experience does not make you more interesting or have more to say. Who had more to say than Will last year? |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:33 pm     Well.... Will was a great storyteller.... then again it was all BS - lol |
Mare | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:37 pm     where did you guys get pictures of the new houseguests?? |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:39 pm     Mare - the commercials are out - they are on CBS randomly, I will be posting pictures later today, until then if you scroll up in this thread you will find links to a couple places that have posted pictures from the commercial. |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 01:42 pm     Ok - Commercial just aired with a new face.... I will be capping and posting shortly.... |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:12 pm     Ok, working on it..... HG Bios & Pictures |
Shadowkat | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:13 pm     Thanks Ryn! |
Theowl | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:27 pm     Thanks Ryn!! Those are the best pictures I've seen all day!! You do good work. Do you know who the Tie-Dye-Guy is? I know he was on Weakest Link, but I didn't see him. I wonder if he is one the these people. I'd love to see him!!  |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:33 pm     I think i have now seen all the HGs and he does not seem to be one of them.... |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:49 pm     I stand corrected, I have only seen 10 total - 5 men & 5 women.... |
Sage | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:55 pm     Thanks Ryn. There is one person you don't have, that I've seen, and that's the african-american woman. I think she is only female of her race. |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:56 pm     I was working on it ;) |
Mare | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 03:00 pm     I just viewed the houseguest photos. Figures, the token black female, token black male. No older people (like Kent, Bunky). And Houseguest #5 looks like the guy who was aiming to "boink" Jon Voight in Deliverance. I wish they would've cast an equal amount of over 40 as well as 20-30 year olds. |
Wargod | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 03:02 pm     Ryn, you're awesome.....thanks! Now that I've seen some faces, I'm getting a little (just a little, hehehehe!) excited! |
