Reiki | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 10:21 am     Keep in mind that there were open casting calls all over the US. I know in my town it was held at a bar. So there is a possibility that Eric was at the bar the night they had open casting and they approached him then. |
Lurknomore | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 10:50 am     Reiki I live in Boston (ok right outside it, but close enough lol). The only local casting call was at the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT. So that didn't happen. |
Mystery | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 10:59 am     I think that the Big Brother producers might not want people who are real fans and who know what's going on. After all, it's pretty entertaining for us that these HGs don't know the extent to which we can see and hear them. CBS hand picked about half of its contestants for the Amazing Race II program by taking some of the rejects from Survivor applications, and picked its contestants for Amazing Race III in about a week and a half, so I don't think that they're really going for fans of their reality shows. It seems to me they have a type of contestant already in mind, for every show. |
Dulci | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 11:10 am     I agree with you Mystery. I think if you go into an audition saying how big a fan you are of BB you are automatically disqualified. They don't WANT savvy HGs. |
Sunshinemiss | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 12:20 pm     Too bad. It would throw a fun wrench into the works to have one really rabid net nerd/ BB fan into the mix. Heshe could keep the other guests on their toes/ off balance. I think Arnie thinks we aren't pretty enough. He seems to be going for looks over "real" people. I like eye candy as much as anyone, but it is NOT the main reason I watch the show. Oh, and thanks Lurk. |
Iceprincess | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 12:23 pm     I think there should be a classaction lawsuit against CBS and Arnold Shapiro for descrimination against overweight women. Seems that there have been NONE on the show. I would LOVE to blow their whole selection process out of the water. |
Jules | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 12:29 pm     Iceprincess, I was just telling my husband that- no overweight, flat chested woman has ever been on any of the shows I watch. I would love to be on one of those shows but I doubt that it would happen because I dont have the "look" they want..... its just crazy |
Angelsluv | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 01:16 pm     I forgot.. Wasn't when they were doing calls for the show, that the deadline for tapes and interview dates extended?? My thought as to applying was generalized.. Meaning that even if any of them were scouted, they had the decision to "sign on the dotted line" to throw their name in the hat (applied). The idea of jumping through hoops to be on the show, yet never seeing any episodes until tapes were handed to you for viewing, it just dumbfounds me *LOL* |
Cathie | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 01:29 pm     JMHO, maybe it's because they see this as winning a role on a tv show, not as being chosen as a contestant on Big Brother. They are more interested in being on tv than in playing the BB game, and were seeing this as a break into show biz more than anything else (or a way to flaunt their 'celebrity' status in front of an ex as a couple have stated). Jason came to play BB - he knows about the show and wants to play. Now he just needs some qualified playmates... |

Snee | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 02:56 pm     aww ketchuplover, i was going to say that!! dang. |
Kaili | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:05 pm     I think it has been proven that we are after this site went down. Did I calmly wait and do something else in the meantime? No, I was going to various BB sites looking for people from here! I felt my heart rate increase! It was rough! |
Kady | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:55 pm     I have a life!! I'm fixing to go on vacation for a week. I'm just freaking out cause I won't have a computer. I with ya Moon, I'm a freak with a life!! |
Earthkitten | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 11:05 pm     Jason may want to play the game, but he also wants to be in the entertainment business so he may have ulterior motives for being there also. |
