Ryn | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:05 pm     Cass - "If you can read this, thank a teacher" Robbien - Nope, looks like the same set up to me. Thefan - ya got me , I'm a guy (guess someone else will have to 'splain. Katrina - thats kinda a hard question to answer easily.... maybe a better place would be one of the threads talking about him (the dear my shapero one maybe??) |
Ryanc2002 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:08 pm     Thefan - I'm wating for one huge ass waterballoon explosion. |
Curlyq | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:09 pm     I think the AS resentment has to do with his apparent desire to cater to the bar-frequenting demographic that hasn't watched the show in the past, while showing complete indifference toward the dedicated fans who've stayed with the show since the beginning. He seems to be out of touch with the viewers, assuming that it's only the beer-drinking males who are watching. As I recall, the ratings last year picked up whenever there was conflict in the house. Sex and flesh had little to do with it. It seems that it's not just Shapiro but CBS also wanting to court this particular audience, as I saw an interview yesterday with a CBS rep defending their choice to air the next Victoria's Secret fashion show when ABC decided not to pick it up again. They're trying to show more cutting-edge programming and shed "grandmother in a rocking chair" image. |
Julieboo | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:10 pm     maybe I've been under a rock, but is it true that there will be no more banner planes? And how can they insure that? (Do they have scouts looking and then send the HG in when they say "De Plane, de plane!" ????) |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:13 pm     Hgs have been told not to look at banner planes, if they do they can face penalty or be eliminated. There was a banner plane on Saturday and they discussed this - and none of them looked up while it was in the air. |
Abby7 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:21 pm     I'm a new poster here as of today. I did post a thread "does anyone live near the house" but got no responses. One reason I did it is because I live VERY close and if I just go up the hill I could probably read the banner. However, I got no responses. Is discussing where you live (just the "area" taboo here?). Banners taboo too? |
Katrina | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:23 pm     Very interesting, Spy & Curly. Thanks! I temporarily forgot about how annoying the feeds charge is. (Still have a few more days before I have to decide whether to belly up to the bar and subscribe or whether to cancel at the end of my free trial.) Okay, Ryn, I will look for that thread and see what everybody said there. Thanks. |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:25 pm     Abby - not at all - several people live in the general area, many are probably at work, check it later tonight |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:53 pm     ok question here: Wasn't the voting live last year? I rememeber them sitting around and getting up to vote one at a time. Seems like this year it is taped. Am I losing it? |
Spygirl | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:54 pm     Sometimes it was live, Ice. I just can't remember when or why. |
Squidvicious | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 05:14 pm     The votes were taped up until the episode where bunky was evicted. Seems like bunky was one of the last four? |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Thanks guys...I thought I remembered live votes. I guess it would be easier to do them live when there are fewer of them to vote. |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:10 pm     Does anyone know why Marcellas' engagement ended (don't say cause he was gay LOL). I missed that on the live feeds and curious after how much love he spoke of her with tonight. |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:15 pm     Me too, Lurk. I must have been absent from school the day that was discussed. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:19 pm     Here's what I don't understand about the veto thing. Wouldn't it be better to have the person who has won the veto power to pick the next nominee? I mean, what does it accomplish by having the HOH pick the NEXT nominee after someone's nomination is veto? They're just gonna put in another person from the other "side" up. Looks like it would make more sense to have the veto-deciding person not only have to veto a nomination (if he so chose) but ALSO make the next nomination. |
Donut | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:20 pm     2 Questions-- sorry to be stupid but i havent gotten to read much on the boards: 1-- Has Lori really been so clearly a big mouth, looney who is obvious for being booted first, or was that more the editing on tonites show (wed)? 2--do we know yet what the weekly schedule for shows is? i am confused-- i thought eviction was tonite. So is Thursday the live show, and eviction and HOH AND noms?? and then Sat. is food and veto competition? i dont get how it is all fitting in! is my brain farting? ok, you dont have to answer that one.. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:21 pm     I agree Cliotheleo.. THAT would be really fun.. |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:40 pm     has anybody noticed that the live feed boards are frozen? |
Crazykids | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:49 pm     I agree Cliotheleo....that would make sense |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 08:05 pm     Donut, 1. Yes and no. She has been rather difficult and kind of moppy since she was nominated. 2. I believe thurs is the eviction and hoh. then sat is the noms. food. and veto. This being if they decide to keep the veto in every week. |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 08:07 pm     Donut 1. Yes. See the threads about Lori as crazy lady. 2. I think this week's schedule is a little different because it was the premiere week. Ryn has a projected schedule posted, I think. |
Bigd | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 08:13 pm     Does anyone know what the stupid "coffee c_nt" thing going on now is about? |
Wink | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 08:19 pm     >>>>Has Lori really been so clearly a big mouth, looney who is obvious for being booted first, or was that more the editing on tonites show (wed)?<<<< Donut ROFL. You surely do have a way with words. |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 08:19 pm     THis weeks TV schedule (not when things REALLY happen) is the way it will be from now on. Wed - Summary Thurs - Eviction (live) Sat - Hoh, Nom (maybe Veto competition too - or that maybe wed - Veto comp & veto vote) |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 08:23 pm     Live feeds are working fine - maybe you need to refresh your browser window. Of course there is always the possibility no one is posting, it is voluntary ;) Lori is not as bad as she seems, funny thing is if Gerry had not veto'd Marcel he was still going (even after all of Lori's ranting, but of course CBS did not show that). Dunno bout the engagement story The veto thing, kinda hard to 'answer' that - doing it the way you suggested woulr REALLY remove power from the HoH. This way the HoH still has some, your way the Veto person would have more than seems fair. |
