What if BB put all the HG's on the spot and asked them where the name "Big Brother" comes from? (Thank you to Sobaditsgood for this idea!)

What would they say? Would they know?

Here are some of my predictions on how the current HG's would answer:

Marcellas: I don't know where Big Brother came from, but I know I wouldn't kick him outta bed for eating crackers!
Tonya: Big Brother... Isn't that a club in Las Vegas? I get in there free cause I'm a local.
Jason: All I know is, my big brother is a man named Jesus.
Chiara: I'll answer that if Roddy says it's ok. And one more thing - snap snap Crackle snap Pop snap.

Josh: Did I mention my Big Brother is Jewish too?

Roddy would actually know. But I'd get bored and fall asleep halfway through his answer.

Chiara: isnt that the book where they had this pig and the big brother took care of the pig till the pig inherited the farm. I am pretty sure there wasnt a spider in it.

Gerry: the significance of 1984 in numerology dates back to.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Roddy: The character of winston was based on someone that stole George's peanut butter sandwiches in first grade............zzzzzzzzz.

Do we have to wear 80's clothes and listen to Duran Duran?

Roddy: You know, Arnie asked me that question when they came to get me at the hotel. When I told him the correct answer, he was so shocked and said, "Wow. That's not typical from a HG," to which I repied, "If I were trying to impress you, I'd have told you that my favorite part is when the spider dies at the end."

Thanks, Maris! I think it's funnier when you actually witnessed that little scene on the 2nd day like we did, which succinctly announced that Roddy was going to be amusingly pretentious.

Other HG responses:

Danielle would go from room to room and subtly quiz HGs about their answers, and then rush in the DR and blurt it out.

Lisa would silently watch the other HGs get into a heated discussion over the correct answer, and then quietly slip off to the diary room and give the correct answer.

These are great! Better than the live feeds hee hee... I'd love to see you start more ... Another funny one would be a list of requirements to be a BB3 houseguest. Or a memo to his casting agents telling them what questions to ask and acceptable responses during "interviews". From what I've read here, I can imagine lots of laughs ....

As a newbie I don't know how to start things and I'm not half as funny as y'all.

Thanks for the chuckles!
