Seamonkey | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 04:16 pm     Webkitty.. that sounds like the new set of dwarves.. Big Brother and the 10 dwarves "Quirky, bizzare, angry, crafty, strange, manipulative, sleezy, sly, witty and funny" oh and I guess you want Hardbody in there too? Love it.. Well, I liked Nicole |
Webkitty | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 05:49 pm     ROTFLMAO!!!!! Oh, I can't wait for your LFP, Seamonkey!! You ARE doing them again this year, aren't you? don't say no |
Keiffer | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 07:44 pm     I think I remember you from last year Webkitty, but I can't be sure. I love what you said about getting started on the banners thing. If for no orhter reason changing up the location to a spot maybe not know, or perhaps rigging a way so that banners could not be seen would be wonderful. I mean after all the idea for the show was originally for there to be no outside knowledge. How much more fun would Will have had last year had the banners not given away half the stunts he was planning? You know some type of cover that the producers lifted over the back yard when a plac was approaching would do the trick. Once it was discovered that it was a waste of $300 to send the banner that would stop them. SEAMONKEY: You realize that the fun stuff in the house never starts until a couple hours after dinner, so that would put the good stuff at about 8-9 PM East coast time. That would make it 5-6 PM yours. Seems to me that would be awsome. Then you wouldn't have to stay up until 3AM to see everything. |
Seamonkey | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:04 pm     I'm happy being in "real time" and interesting things happen whenever they happen!! I do live feed postings when I can, interesting or not because people want the ability to hear the little details.. heh.. like who washes hands in the morning. I wonder if we'll get a bunch of electric toothbrush fanatics this year? Probably something new. I DO like the "sea urchin in the pool" idea! |
Seamonkey | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:08 pm     Oh, I liked Nicole and I loved the banners..

Webkitty | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:25 pm     Noooooooo! Not the banners!!! Please........... its a useless battle, I know.... Your just trying to torment me, I know it! LOL (I'll let the Nichole thing slide because she was good entertainment) Sea, do you ever check your folder? Ummmmmm? |
Kaili | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 09:53 pm     Maybe they have to vote/nominate publicly, or they vote for who they want to stay rather than who they want to go (so whoever has the least stay votes is gone). |
C1mag | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 11:06 pm     As a viewer I want more control over them. I want the ability to expose alliances. Wouldn't it have been great to have net meeting piped into the house and be able to yell at Monica, " PUT THE DAMN CARD'S DOWN GIRL, AND DO SOMETHING.... RIGHT NOW!!!!" HAHAHAHAHA! How cool would it have been to tell Brittany to, "SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Or how about warning someone that they are being talked about in the next room? Dang, that would be a blast. We could drive them crazy! Who cares about those stupid little game's they play. I want to see them squirm. Nicole would have been a perfect victim of paranoia. Will's ego would have been deflated within the first week, and Jamie may have found better things to do other than to put on makeup. I want them to beg us to keep them in there. I mean aren't we really Big Brother? Otherwise, why let us watch? It would be great if we could do the nominating, but I'm not into paying for it through the phone. There's enough computers out there that maybe they could do a computer vote but somehow I think poll's and vote's on line have a glitch. All I know is that I'd love to have a lot more control over them. |
Wilsonatmd | Saturday, June 08, 2002 - 07:31 am     well I've been looking at the UK BB info once in a while, and they're going to do something that might work here....but it's risky. This weekend, they're going to have a contest (basketball shooting, I think) and the 10 players left will have 5 winners and 5 losers. They go into seperate bedrooms and when they exit, they will find that they've been seperated by bars into two different sides. The winners have all the comfy stuff, the pool, and the luxury money for the week, the losers have an outdoor stove and bathroom and just the basic food plus whatever they can get from the vegetable garden and the chickens....It sounds interesting, but it could cause the HG to rebel against BB (As an aside, the Oz BB HG a couple of weeks ago delibrately threw their task, and lost all of their luxury money for the week, to protest the fact that that week BB dispensed with the nominations and everyone was up for eviction, and they had a double eviction as well...) But it also could bring up a one side vs. the other thing this week and later on. Another danger is it could break up the couples that are forming...This is a calculated risk they're taking, and it could work here too... |
Discoinferno | Saturday, June 08, 2002 - 07:36 am     I think that's a cool idea! |
Webkitty | Saturday, June 08, 2002 - 08:20 am     C1mag, having some control issues are you? I need to get to the library and take out 1984. I ~think~ I read it when I was in highschool, so very long ago................ Since the name of this show IS Big Brother, I think the producers should take over and BE Big Brother. The HG fate should not be their own. Unexpected twists and turns, yes. The only strategy that could possibly work would be flexibility to adapt. Flying under the radar playing cards all summer and alliances would be out the window. I would dispense with voting out also. I think the weekly eviction should come as a result of failure to adapt, somehow. (its not my job to figure it out.) And I would wittle in down to one last person standing by some other means than the HG voting (or us) I don't think the general public should be involved in any way, too many spoons spoil the pot. Besides, let the producers think up ways to make this interesting, that's what their paid for! |
Bigfan | Saturday, June 08, 2002 - 09:25 am     The only problem I have with the producers thinking up ways to make this interesting is last year they didn't! Drab houseguest lack of activity leaves boring hours of watching smoking card games. Fun people, activity and rewards make for a better show. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, June 08, 2002 - 08:30 pm     Personally I'm more of a "put people together and observe what they'll do" type than a "put people together and micro-manage the oh my heck out of them".. so while it is fun to think of various manipulations, I'm just ready for it to start and to let the producers produce it. Smoking card games.. well.. i hate to see people smoke.. it eventually killed both my parents.. but the card games.. actually there can be some interesting interaction around those card games. |
Lurknomore | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 07:19 am     Ok Sea...I'll give you "interesting interaction" for like an hour or two...3 since it's Sunday and I'm in a good mood LOL. But those all night card and backgammon marathons where they said little but counting moves....ARRGGGHHHHHHH. Not interesting. Not even interacting if you ask me lol. I'm telling you, they made me miss the days of Chicken George losing his mind and digging in the garden for money. (Something I can assure you I never would have though was possible lol). |
Seamonkey | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 11:49 am     George certainly was unique.. So you are in a good mood, eh? In the other thread (leaking ..) you'd have to be Crabnomore! I think I was thinking more of the BB1 card games that seemed to be group activities as opposed to various people sitting opposite Monica as she smoked and counted and stewed. |
Therlin | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 01:19 pm     Nothing will ever be better than the day in which the HGs revolted against BB and were planning their walk out. I was glued to my computer for almost 24 hrs straight. |
Neko | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 03:42 pm     I miss Chicken George. They should put him back in to give him another chance to win. He deserves it for keeping us all enterained. Maybe this year there'll be another crazy old guy... |
Seamonkey | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 04:55 pm     undoubtedly. |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 05:31 pm     I wish Chelsea Charms was there |
Bigfan | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 08:18 pm     Listen, an old guy trying to blast-off in the john was so much more entertaining than smoke-fill card games! George was good for passing the time! |
Lurknomore | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 07:56 am     Bigfan you made me literally LOL....I forgot all about that insane bathroom lift off attempt. You know, as out of his mind as he was, he was amusing. Sea, hehe, as for that other thread that was an old post and Sunday or no (it's Monday now so perhaps I could use "BornAgainCrab" lolol--of course there is almways GoodMoodNoMore) I stand by it. While Kent and Bunky amused me on the puter, Kents board antics did not. I think he really thinks he's a "celebrity" and talks down to us as such. HHHHHAAAAAA! To me that long a fake post, even though I mercifully read the heads up, was just mean by him. I didn't see a reason to manipulate so many folks online, which is how I saw it. Perhaps it's all his sense of humor has to work with...but it didn't amuse me. Bet ya couldn't tell huh?? I think the problem with the card games is folks would make VERY brief, interesting strategy comments mixed in with 6 hours of yawnfest card playing. I think my hope is without them the HGs might actually have to sit and talk outright. Funny but in the 2 seasons of BB, there haven't been a whole lot of strategy conversations, except for the dreaded "Chilltown." And why did those actually exist??? THEY DIDN'T PLAY CARDS. |
Missy666 | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 10:48 am     Some things I would like to see. First off, yes I would like it to move to the east coast, if not that than atleast have a morning and evening curfew, and not allow them to nap during the day. As for the nominations, I would like them to do the HOH challenge again this year, and allow the winner to pick one nominee, I would like the fans to pick the other nominee. I would like to see them have to work for all their food, alcohol and cigarettees. I would also like to see surprise challenges, have bb wake them up during the middle of the night and make them do a challenge, if they are too hungover from earlier in the evening oh well thats their problem. I also think they should be given jobs to do, this would at least keep them from laying around sleeping all day. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 10:55 am     Something really unexpected would be for them to have no contact with anyone for the entire time they are there (which was the idea of the challenge to begin with). Another thing I would like to see, although feel it's not likely to happen is the consistent following of the rules by the production staff. (see note above, among others) |
Demeter | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 11:14 am     I would like to see the production crew be more interested in the internet viewers. We are their most loyal fans, we keep up with the cast long after the series is over. Last year, it seemed as though they were only interested in "producing" the television show and if they had enough material for the shows that week, they didn't care what the houseguests did. I would appreciate it if they limited their use of the Front Door cam to emergencies only. So what if we watch them setting up the challenges before it airs on tv? We STILL watch the television show even if we saw it on the internet already. I'd also like to see them have more structured time. Floating in the pool for hours, or lifting weights for hours is a bit much. How many of us have had that luxury since we graduated High School? They are getting paid, let them earn their pay. I don't think they need to be like jailed prisoners, but they don't need to be pampered as much as they were last year. They were pampered more last year than the year before. Enough for now. |
Seamonkey | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 11:15 am     Lurk, I could tell Maybe they could also rig up the beds for electroshock or torture them in other ways? That wouldn't be entertaining to me but it would cause some twists and turns for sure.. |
