Zachsmom | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 03:28 pm     Surini- Just go to your local rehab..things like that happen everyday in real life..take it from me seeing people go through detox and withdrawls is NOT a fun thing to watch nor should it constitute entertainment.. |
Maris | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 04:02 pm     I read an interview with Arnold Shapiro and what he said was that they would have to ration themselves. he said that Big Brother would not be giving them cigarettes. It looks like they can bring cigarettes with them but it is up to them to pace themselves. |
Surini | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 04:19 pm     Zachsmom....meant in fun re: BB HG's... not to make fun at anyone. Of course no one would really want a show like that, nor would I ever want to watch anyone suffer. |
Maris | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 04:22 pm     I think there will be drama because we may find that people are claiming that folks are stealing their cigarettes. Didnt that happen in BB2 with Hardy? |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 04:23 pm     I think it is a situation that can't be ignored though. I don't see it happening so much for excessive drinking though. I see it happening for smoking and very high coffee consumption (unless that person can talk everyone into getting lots of coffee). I work with one person who has more than a ful pot before they even get to work. They usaully have two cups full at one time, and will smoke while walking 10 feet from the biulding to a vehicle. This person would go nuts if there was a lock down of any length at all. |
Zachsmom | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 07:07 pm     You know Surini.. I know you meant it in fun..and if I came across "b" itchy I am sorry. Just that I lost a dear friend while she went through rehab so I think my first read on your post I took a bit to heart. Again, sorry.. |
Surini | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 09:08 pm     No problem Zachsmom and I'm sorry about your friend and that it brought those thoughts to mind.  |
Zachsmom | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 09:18 pm     On a happy note Surini.. I am so excited about BB3 starting I could just  |
Surini | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 09:39 pm     Include me in that "being excited" too...these last fews days have dragged by. To be a huge fan of reality tv and then know someone on one of the programs is almost to much to bear!!  |
Sunriverose | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 08:46 pm     Lanzee, the "sheeple" have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the pollitically correct movements. I really don't want to get off to a bad start for BB3, but the kind of icky judgementalism in your post really is offensive to me. I wonder why anyone who is sooooo sensitive that the sight of people smoking cigaretts "disgusts" them would even consider watching a show that shows people pukeing, farting, sticking a knife at a housemate's throat, lying and cheating and scamming and backstabbing. Thanks, but I'll smoke my ciggies and find all the rest pretty darn disgusting. |
Maris | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 10:42 pm     I am not a smoker but it doesnt make a difference to me if the HGs smoke. It does add to the dynamics. Even Hardy was smoking towards the end. It became a political necessity. Now with the HGs rationing their cigarettes, those little coffin sticks may have a critical role as the game goes on. Some people may have foundthe cigarette smoking outside annoying and then again, some people probably found the body building out in the sun with he weights a bit pretentious. That is the fun, waiting to see who is going to blow first. |
Jeneane | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 10:46 pm     I think the decision about the cigs was more that BB was not going to be so lax and give the HGs so many luxuries. That is the whole game. To see what happens when those are taken or limited. Last year the group seemed to forget that and whined about "needing" everything. |
Luvbb | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 11:06 pm     Surini -- I TOTALLY agree! I couldn't be more excited about any reality show (unless it were me, of course) I can't wait to watch Jason & see if he acts differently on tv than he does in day to day life! |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 06:20 am     I'm so excited too! Does anyone know what days BB3 will be on... besides tommorrow? |
Metalbear | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 06:58 am     I was a smoker for 7 yrs but quit cold turkey went told by my doctor that I didn't have any choice but to quit (long story). I also had a newborn at the time so it was a good time to quit anyway. The whole cig. limit should be fun to watch, hopeful BB won't start giving in to their request as the show goes on like the years before. |
Grannygrunt | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 07:02 am     Hey this may be a good time to quit smoking. Get the patches and see what happens. Of course, have several cartons on hand just in case the patches fail. |
Luvbb | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 12:22 pm     Resortgirl: BB3 will be on Wed, Thurs, & Sat. nights |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 03:53 pm     Thanks Luv! |
Misslibra | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 04:33 pm     Hi RG! I just saw Moon a couple of doors down it's so good to see you to. The BB fever is spreading. Woo Hoo !! Not only do they have cig limits but it sounds like they will have alcohol limits again this year. I wonder who drinks and who don't. |
Delilah | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 05:09 pm     Bunky didn't smoke and used the cigs he brought in as a bargaining ploy. That may have kept him in the house longer and they booted him when his supply ran out LOL. Hardy did not smoke (he was so into his body!) but he said he smoked occasionally when he drank. He used to get them from Nic and Bunky. It was awful watching them sitting around for HOURS playing BG and I think they were so bored, they smoked like crazy. Kent quit and BB supplied patches which I think is great, apparently he is still smoke free. If there are any smokers, I think they should bring a three month supply and ask Arnie to lock them away in the SR and they have to ask to go in (just like they did with the food so it wouldn't run out) Arnie should give them a lock box for their smokes. Besides they would be caught on camera if they stole someone elses. I am hoping there aren't too many smokers this year. As far as the alcohol goes, they reduced it after the Justin incident (heck, what about the HT incident?! That was alcohol induced! Nicole even tried to snog Monya and Bunky LOL) I remember last year before the Justin fiasco, they each had a set amount of beers each, I remember Krista begging one of the non-drinkers (Will didn't drink that much, he knew it would affect his strategy) for more beer. She traded smokes for beers etc... Let's face it, when the hampsters are drunk it is a lot of fun to watch but CBS should be careful.... What bothers me however is the CBS site is sponsored by serious liquor companies - scroll down to the bottom and you will see! |
Maris | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 07:32 pm     Football is sponsored by Beer companies, The Oscars are sponsored by Beer companies. I dont agree that the producer has a responsibilit as far as promoting smoking or drinking. Big Brother isnt a childrens show. Adults generally are either smokers or not and they are not likely to be impressed by a bunch of twenty somethings getting drunk in a hot tub. Obviously alcohol and tobacco affects the mix particularly towards the end of the game but I dont think the producers should be held accountable for some moral compass. If that was the case there wouldnt even be a show. We do watch it to see the hamsters go at each other and as much as we hated Will and Nicole last year it sure was a heck of a lot of fun. |
