Sam222 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:15 pm     One of the reasons I think that I like the feds so much is it kind of gives you an in to how editing works. For example in the show tonight you had Chiara asking Amy if she had made advances on Roddy, whereas I watched the actual conversation where she asked if the diary room had asked her about it. Obviously on the show they can't show you this and you can tell her words were edited. It shows you how much we don't see on the other shows. It makes for a really interesting viewing experience. |
Fluffybbw | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:21 pm     Did you also notice that they edited out the entire Eric and Lisa relationship, they have been having sex for a couple of days and yet all they talked about was the "sweet" romance going on between Roddy and Chi. If I didn't read the feeds I never would know by just watching the t.v. show what is really going on in the house. |
Curlyq | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:22 pm     Thank you! I was just going down the list of thread topics looking for one on this subject. As I watched the show tonight I could only imagine how this must look to those who don't follow the feeds. Chiara and Roddy are once again portrayed as the sweet, innocent puppy-love couple and now Amy is the heartless man-stealing witch who's trying to come between the two lovers. Why are they so dead-set on portraying Chiara as the sweet, innocent girl? I know she said the producers cast her to be the girl next door, but you'd think they would've given up on that by now. It's just Krista all over again. |
Foh4ever | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:27 pm     Wait... *are* they actually having sex? I thought it was still just an "assumed boinking".... (yes, I get the point behind it - the relationship being totally ignored, I'm just curious). |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:29 pm     I noticed they left out Lisa, too. hmmmm.. All the other women had air time tonight. I wonder if they're saving the footage of Lisa and Erica for later. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:30 pm     Well...heh heh...that all depends on how you define sexual relations. |
Fluffybbw | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:31 pm     I thought I read on a couple of posts of the live feeds a couple of days ago that Eric was bragging about how "hot" Lisa was in bed and then he got kind of graphic in his description. . . |
Fluffybbw | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:34 pm     I'm sorry I meant to add he was talking about it to Roddy, right after he told Lisa he wouldn't tell anybody, just they and the thousands of internet viewers would be in on their little secret. |
Foh4ever | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:35 pm     Cross... hang on... lemme look up what ol' Billy Boy's definition was... heheh |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:36 pm     While you're at it Foh..can you clarify what is is.. I never did get that cleared up!!! |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:36 pm     I think Eric and Lisa got their face time last week, and now it is Roddy and Chiara's turn. I certainly don't think Chiara was edited to look sweet and all American this week...she looked angry, jealous, and pretty darn spiteful in the scenes with her and Amy. Neither one of them were exactly portrayed as little ingenues! |
Sunlit | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:40 pm     I mentioned in another thread how Amy seemed much harsher with editing. It seems that Arnie is sticking with his desired characterization of her, too. They are definitely saving the Eric and Lisa stuff for a hot upcoming show. They could be saving the Amy and Marc stuff, too. If they get the audience to dislike Amy, the swing, like with Will, will be that much more intense when they cast her in a better light. And she does have one. A flawed one, yes, but a better one. Editing is fascinating! As is the DR. I just wish we could see all of the DR, not just the sound bites and clipped statements. I want to know context! |
Fluffybbw | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:44 pm     When the HG's leave the house do you think they get to see all DR entries, without editing? |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:50 pm     I don't know how we can trust things based on seeing them on live feeds. Right now all four are on Mar, and Amy, just like all four were on them when I got home from work for an hour. Who knows what is happening while we see only two people on all four feeds? Also we may never know about Lisa and Eric, because I still have not seen a a LFP of a person that was allowed to watch it. Sure they give a few minutes here and there, but for some reason no one sees all their interactions. If we had there would be no question as to what happened, because Eric told Roddy they put on a show, and from the few secs of feeds they give I have seen screen caps that make it look like they were not using the blanket to hide things (like Will and Shannon). |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:50 pm     Editing has always been used to slant the perceptions of actual events in BB. I missed the last half hour of the show because it conflicts with AI but I could see where it was heading. |
Curlyq | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:50 pm     I've been wondering that myself. Maybe if they're sequestered they're not allowed to see anything at all. The producers might want to see what happens if the evictees have to vote without getting any further info on what happened after they left or behind their backs while they were still there. That's why I think they're sequestering them, so their final vote will be based on their own instincts without any inside info. |
Floresmama | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:56 pm     Eric and Lisa have been playing touchy feely. So far no sexual intercouse at least not the Webster dictionary definition type. Lisa is OTR having her monthly visitor. She and Eric have been making references to next week. I heard them mention it as late as last night. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 07:56 pm     that would be awful to be sequestered for 10 more weeks!! i guess they would have to be paid as if they were in the house, right? |
Cameltoes | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:03 pm     I like the sequestering idea for that very reason. Ideally they would make their decision based only on knowledge they have in the house just as Survivor contestants make choices without benefit of seeing tapes. I do agree that it would be very difficult to be sequestered that long. They should send them on an extended vacation somewhere tropical and secluded. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:06 pm     i think they should put them to work with the production team...when the houseguests are locked down outside, they can be part of the cleaning or rearranging workers. they can short sheet beds, plant used-looking condoms, etc. when the houseguests are locked down inside, they can pee in the pool and grease the pedals on the exercise equipment and put steer manure where the abs class takes place. |
Cameltoes | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:08 pm     LOL Tabby! Only if they showed it on the feeds! |
Duncan | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:09 pm     That is one thing I liked about BB1 being on 6 nights a week. When we saw the show each night, we knew that most of what we were seeing happened either that day or the day before. The way they are doing this now, it is impossible to know the chronology of the events. Oh....and since we are talking about editing, I just loved Tonya saying how fake she thinks Amy is. That is quite a statement considering that a rather large part of her body is not real. :-) |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:15 pm     I have a question.... I am clearly behind in reading the live feeds, but on tonight's show there was a big face off in the HOH room orchestrated by Marcellus between Amy and Chiara. When did that happen- what day? And where was I when it was discussed on the board? Did we see this and I totally missed it? |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:16 pm     Car54...are you aware that you said that you are "clearly" behind in reading feeds? Josh is getting into your brain. |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:18 pm     DOH! <ewwwwwwww somebody make it stop!!!!!!> |
