Now granted this may be true (LOL) but someone tell me why these people signed up for this show knowing the premise???

Did anyone ID who said it? Was one of the self loving chicks but not sure which one.

Chiara said it after obviously being called in by BB for trying to talk in code again. It ticked her off (to say the least) and she got up off the HOH bedroom floor and said that and shot out of the room on the premise she had to go to the restroom.

Hey! No name calling--we should call Arnie right now and ask him to warm them about that! LOL

It seems we have frustrated some of their efforts.

Hello--WE'RE the freaks?! Did WE sign up to be total exhibitionists for three months and do almost anything for media exposure and money?

Nope--you put yourself in the rat cage, babe. Get used to it.

Her sense of entitlement that makes feel she should be able to circumvent the rules will be her downfall. It never occurred to her that anyone else could put her in her place...*especially* the net nerds that she holds in such disdain!

I just heard Tonya say the same thing. It's ironic. Your a freak if you watch them, but your not a freak to participate in this show? Too funny! I'd like to point out to them that this is probably the prime reason they were chosen to be on this show. They just don't get it.

Umm..I have a life.

I just choose to neglect it for a couple of months during BB.

What gets me is that supposedly all these HG's were HUGE BB fans, doesn't that mean you would know what it's all about?? I really don't think any of them (minus Jason) ever saw a BB show before this! I mean, Gerry was telling them that the house cameras will only show them from the waist up so obviously he's never seen the show or live feeds before, Chiara thinks no one should know who or what she's talking about so she's made up a code and then when called in by BB and told not to do it she calls us freaks, and Jason had to tell Tonya, Lisa and Chiara that they really do have live feeds and he told them all about the internet and they didn't know a thing about it!!!! Yeah, right, big BB fans these HG's...what a crock!

It would be funny if the house were equipped with computer/video monitors for the HG's to use, if the only things they could watch on them were live feeds from other areas of the BB house and yard. (Like in some of the "Real World" houses where the people upstairs can see what's going on downstairs.) They would all be crowding around those monitors to see what everyone else was up to, just like we are!

I gotta admit though....they are more entertaining this way. It's really funny watching these plastic boobed babes gossip with a code because they somehow feel they deserve to get away with it, and then have a real hissy fit when they get called to the principal's office time after time. In BB1, they were SO aware of the cameras and the editing, it got boring a lot of the time.

Bottom line: BB1 catered to the cameras and the viewers. BB3 is under the impression they need to cater to nothing but their own desires...but they get called on it and forced to cater to BB over and over. I love it.

I guess it's just more fun seeing the hamsters being FORCED to do tricks against their will rather than tame hamsters that WANT to do tricks.

Hey...this animal metaphor has made me want to have a giant hamster exercise wheel offered as an America's Choice reward rather than a tramploine or chin up bar this year! LOL

ooh, a giant hamster wheel! i'll spend some $ calling that one in! great idea, sanfran!!

Monday, July 15, 2002 - 12:24 am EditMoveDeleteIP
The funny thing....I don't think most of them would even "get it". Maybe Jason or Roddy...

LOL SanFran, I love that idea! Not very subtle, but a lot of fun, and a quasi-legit exersize option.

Hamsters in a hamster wheel, would definitely need a screen capture on that one.

How about a Habitrail maze set-up for a food challenge? Put the food in different chambers, towers, etc.

OH NO! Not a trampoline. haha I can just see Tonya using it.

Too much SanFran and Sunshine. LOVE those ideas. I can just picture the hamsters doing a food challenge in a Habitrail. And I think some of these houseguests could use a bit of humility. That would definitely, DO IT!

ok i dont know if this is where to post this, but amy/mar/gerry and jason were just talking about message boards they all really seem to know alot about them mentioning last years bb2....... i think one of them said they read it last year????

I was thinking about this..

Now the HG's get paid for every week they are in the house..

We pay RealOne for the feeds..

RealOne give the % cut to CBS...

CBS pays Endimol (or however you spell the company's name).

They in turn pay the HG's...

Soooooo, In a round-about-way, we are paying for at least a portion of the HG's salary. They shouldn't be complaining about those who feed them.

On another note:
Marcellus said that they were all given afew tapes of last year's BB to watch and that he never saw it other than from those tapes.. Amy said she watches "some" of the shows when on aire, but didn't pay alot of attention to it.

Can't understand how anyone could or would apply for a reality tv show if they weren't fans of it before..

The answer to your question is...most of them, it seems, didn't apply. We keep hearing from them how they were scouted and chosen to be on the show. It has been mentioned in other threads. Josh made a direct observation about Shannon and Will today, stating that he watched it. I know Jason did alot. I think some of them did but don't want to admit it. I for one wouldn't go on a show without researching what exactly will be shown of me and expected of me, whether I applied or I was handpicked. It just shows the level of maturity they have.

Could they have been given tapes to watch while waiting to go into the house? I know Amy and Gerry spoke about not wanting to talk about the selection process because others "really wanted it" implying they did not go through the process the fans did. Maybe BB gave them tapes so they would know what it was like in BB2.

Eric said (told Lori) he was approached in a bar in Boston, didn't apply directly, they were glad to hear he was a firefighter

From previous conversations between the HG's, many of them "learned" about BB from the tapes they viewed. From the comments they've made about not being able to hear the audio on the internet to not realizing we can see in the dark, most of them have no clue what really happened on previous BB's.... except Jason, who obviously knows what really goes on.

yeah Shadow, this is how our boy Arnie felt they were "students of this game." HA Of course since they seem to have recruited and hand picked at least half the HG's, what are the odds they would have found BB fans.

BTW Sunshine, neglect your life comment...summed it up perfectly :)

Hey - I am a freak with no life - that's why I wanted to be on the show!! It really makes me mad that these people don't even want to be here and know nothing about the show, while I have watched every episode of every season over and over and even have dreams about the show! It's true fans like me that should be on there - we really need to do something about these unfair practices, I think! I can accept not being on the show, this is not just sour grapes, but I at least want to enjoy watching it- but how are we supposed to root for anybody when they don't even care if they win themselves?

The only people that I have heard anything remotly like they dont want to be there is Marcellas and Amy. The brat pack, or six, or whatever each seem to be having fun. None of them have gotten stuck in the rut of playing cards all the time.

I think Marc and Amy have both been involved with the group beyond just playing cards. They get in conversations with the others, they both get involved in playing basketball (have the three girls of the rat pack?...I don't think so), they both have participated in the group exercise, etc. so what are they not doing that is any different than the rest of the group?

They haven't gotten as involved in the sex games...so what. The sex games are just as boring as someone playing cards.

They are certainly just as involved as the others in developing strategies. They certainly provide more gut-wrenching laughs with their goofy way of interacting with one another.

As I see it, they are entertaining us internet freaks as well as (maybe even better than)the rest of the group. (to keep it on topic here)
