Tobor7 | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:08 am     So..... Big question. Why did you watch BB3? Nothing else to watch in the summer? Just entertainment? You like to see an emotional slug fest? You like to see human nature pushed to a limit? What people will do for money? Just a few suggestions. But really, why do you watch the show? What are you expecting to see? What are you expecting to learn? We're talking 34 hours of TV programs, ?? hours of life feed watching and ?? hours of posting on this wonderful board. That is a lot of time invested. What did you get out of it? ((No bashing. This is a serious question.)) |
Itsallgood | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:27 am     Entertainment....heck I even signed up for the live feeds at the 1/2 way point!! I enjoyed the show and will be back next year! LOL |
Turgon | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 11:01 am     i love the concept of the show more than anything but it seems cbs and shapiro mutilate it more and more every year. our version is a far cry from the rest of the world, |
Cricket | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 11:33 am     I started watching and liked some of the houseguests. Then I found this website and the live feeds, which made the show so much more enjoyable. I like reading all the posts and posting in the forum. The dedicated people who did the live feeds were awesome. I think that's what kept me watching the show...to see how CBS actually portrayed the houseguests. I agree with Turgon that CBS should back away and just let the houseguests play the game without input from them in the DR. I was surprised that they kind of actually steered Danielle toward an alliance. They probably talked about alliances with the other houseguests too. What's ironic is in Survivor (at least the first season) it was sort of taboo to have alliances. If CBS keeps trying to get people to do certain things for TV ratings, it's going to bite them in the butt, because we just want to see how these people interact on their own, with no guidance from the background. Sheesh, there is enough of that just with the houseguests, lol. I hardly watched BB2 at all, because Will and Shannon totally turned me off. Had I known about this forum, I may have become more interested. I'd like to ask how much Live Feeds cost? I've seen $25/month and $9.95/month. Which is the actual cost? Thanks. |
Cmc209 | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 11:33 am     I watched BB3 because I've been an addict since BB1 - I love peeping in on the HG's late at night to see all the crazy things they do/talk about. It's like having a set of imaginary friends to watch - LOL.... |
Ministryoftruth | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 11:38 am     Why? Because I like it . . . M-O-U-S-E. |
Cmc209 | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 12:10 pm     @Cricket - ewww... $25 a month - no way! Don't pay a penny more then $9.95 a month - that's what I've been paying, and I signed up from CBS. |
Lurknomore | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 12:19 pm     I'm with Turgon too. I love what this show COULD be. I think the concept of US being Big Brother has gotten overlooked. Afterall isn't the premise that they are being watched on the net 24/7? Year after year I kept tuning in to get to know the HG's, love em, hate em, hopefully be interested and amused by them (oh the Curtis glory days). Then there's this great place where we can come while watching and interact, laugh, disagree (more often respectfully than not), sometimes talk to HG's family members and get some addition info. Bottom line, it'f a fun idea and I come to have fun with it. Problem is it could be WAY more fun if they cast the house differently and came up with some creative challenges and interactions. I think the better question is why am I STILL here?!?! LOL I know the answer though I can't seem to let go. Addictions are so hard. I think we need a BB support group |
Squaredsc | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 01:04 pm     because i can <grin>. because i enjoyed bb2 a lot. didn't enjoy bb1 at all in fact i stopped watching after about the 2nd or 3rd show. there is no in depth reason. i like the show and the interactions with all the different personalities. |
Itsallgood | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 01:58 pm     Lurknomore....I hear ya...are we afraid we are going to miss something or what???? LOL |
Luvhubby | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 02:21 pm     So I can gather all information as what NOT to do in BB house when I apply and I GET CHOOSEN to be on the show....lol..OKAY not really, I watched it because of Jason being from my home town. Hey, someone had to have his back. |
Calgaryperson | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:02 pm     I have been an BB addict since BB1. Thats why I tuned in, because I like watching. |
Sia | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 09:26 pm     I don't have satellite/cable, so I have to watch network if I want to see TV; BB has a continuing or arc-story format like soaps, which I also enjoy; it's interesting to see how people relate to one another (or don't!); I love trying to guess who will be ousted from week to week; the TVCH has made BB lots of fun for me, and more interesting than just watching the show. |
Jhezzie | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 09:42 pm     I watch it because I'm nosey. I'm interested in what people do under weird conditions. |
Spunky | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 09:51 pm     To see if I could get hooked on it again.... Drat.. I did, but what a grand finale!! Worth watching... If you keep this board interesting enough Tobor I'll come and check and see how I feel about it. If I reply that means I'm still into it, if not...it means I'm getting over it. Sooner or later it will have to happen though... But I'll be ready for BB4!!! |
Twinkle | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 10:17 pm     There's nothing the producers could do to BB that would prevent me from watching it. The concept fascinated me from the beginning and BB message boards add a dimension that's not approached by other "reality" shows. I just wish I'd chosen to hang out at TVCH the first two years! |
Misslibra | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 10:22 pm     I like BB because it's raw and real. 24/7 live feeds, and it's a very interesting look a human behavior when cut off from the rest of the world, and learning to get along with people that you otherwise would probably never meet. |
Cjr | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 10:31 pm     I'm a looky loo. I love to see how different people react in situations. I loved reading the live feeds last year and knowing more about "what really went on in the house." This year I got the feeds and found the discussion areas and really had a field day! I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would want to go into the BB house at all. It would be my worst nightmare. |
Dulci | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 11:31 pm     I watch BB because I like to WATCH. I had the feeds and posted on this board for BB1 & BB2. Got WAY too involved last year, lived on the East coast but lived on West coast time, etc. This year I decided to see if I would enjoy the show without the feeds, just the show and these boards. I enjoyed myself alot, but didn't feel like I should post so much because I didn't have the feeds. I feel much more in control this year, much healthier and much less stressed. I'll be here next year too, without the feeds. |
