Its time to bring in another pet in the house to help with the stress levels. A dog or cat would help bring some positive energy in. The lizards just ain't cuttin' it.

Sorry to jump on your suggestion, Minny, but, as was said last year-these people are just too selfish and intent on their game-playing to look after a poor defenseless little animal! It'd be just too CRUEL!!!

LOL, I have pet raccoons, and trust me, that would liven up the house. They can open cupboards, get whatever they want, climb to the highest points, wrestle/play in a way that you might like to see these HG's wrestled/nibbled on. I could send in my youngest male, he is a terror when he is wound up. And, LOL, his name is Bunky :)

I disagree, I don't want to see them get any more pets. I understand why it would make things more interesting in *theory* but it hasn't seemed to work out that way in the past that I could tell. I know a lot of people were crazy about the little pug dog but personally I thought it gave them excuses NOT to interact with each other and instead to focus on the dog. And the lizards from this year add absolutely nothing to the show that I can see, what's the point?

Oh good, I was going to post against this idea as well, but was afraid I would get pummeled.

I am against anything bigger than an uncapped bottle of ants. And maybe some noisy crickets.

Chiara's not intent on game-playing, she's there to find a husband.....LOL

I don't think they'd be all that bad at taking care of a pet. Is it Chi or Lisa that has a cat at home? Amy would be the best one with the pet I think. But she might want to put it in bed with her and Marc would have a fit.

I always thought it would be cool if BB could let the HOH spend a week with their own pet if it was possible to fly the animal out for the week, and if the animal is good with other houseguets - I'm sure BB can't afford to have a 100 lb dog named fluffy go crazy and attack.

Maybe a pet after Josh leaves. Did you see him with the lizard the day it pooped on Amy. He was so disgusting I would be afraid to go to sleep at night for fear of what his warped mind would think up.

Josh... skunk, the little stinker...
Gerry .... "boar", hog, pig...
Danielle...gazelle...
Amy .....spider, Spinning her web at Tara...
Roddy ....parott..saying back to you what you want to hear....
Chira ....donkey..making an azs out of herself...
Tonya..... cow...tiets...er... you know...
Lisa.... mouse..that squeeky voice she uses....
Eric.... bull...all those muscles and those nostrils flairing...
Marcelles.... butterfly....the way he moves so floating...
Jason.... dove..peaceful and all..love him!

Minnie...sowwy...just feeling silly...

Nope don't think they need a pet of any kind, and the lizards are lame. Why not an aquarium? It would be just as entertaining...or more so, IMHO.
Dogs, cats, etc...form a bond to their human. To many folks there and to confusing to the pet if you ask me, not to mention all the stress which they pick up on! Poor pet would have to be on prozac to survive!

No need to be sowwy Fly....I really was just kidding. The stress in that house would definitely be too much for an animal. I wish BB would just do something to break the ice for a change. Its getting so old already. They could at least give them a virtual pet of some sort.

I can't imagine spending 3 months in that house with nothing to do, no TV, no music, no diversions. You can only play chess, cards, swim, exercise and eat for so long.

Plus, these people are so boring they have no creativity to come up with something to entertain themselves! I would be trying to think of things to do to pass the time and to get everyone involved instead of all the bickering.

A Tasmanian Devil would be a suitable 'pet' for these guys.

A cat wouldn't be such a good idea, they eat lizards, and hamsters too for that matter!

I just remembered-they gave Nicole and Will one of those robot dogs which can learn last year. Now that would be okay, as long as the manufacturers haven't added an emotion chip, like Data had ;-0

Have to agree with the majority here.

I absolutely adore animals, and that is exactly why I would hate to see one subjected to this group. Pugita in year one was wonderful, but these people are just far too self involved.

And anyway, they have a Chiapet, and we can how badly that worked out!

I wish they would give them one of those babies that kids in high school get. The ones that have to be fed and changed and wake you up crying. Pair them up and whoever takes the best care of their 'child' wins a cool prize.

I think it would be hilarious to watch these people actually have to take care of and worry about something other than themselves.

Hmm, I don't know, Earthmother. Amy may need a clutch purse to go with her new coat...

I love your idea Azriel. Give them something that requires their care, but not really alive, so they won't kill/abuse it with their inevitable selfishness!
