Bmh | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 02:18 pm     yes Sheila494..that would be completely boring..and just to make it clear once the houseguest vote to evict someone that aren't allowed to talk about who they voted for until the votes are revealed on thursday..and that seems pretty fair to me considering nobody knows who will go until the votes are cast |
Sheila494 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 02:24 pm     bmh..but most of the house guest know who there closest friends in the house are going to vote for even before the votes are cast..they discuss who they want out well before they vote..they should not be allowed to do that. |
Crazyfan | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 02:31 pm     How about a celebrity BB?? It could be shorter say 2 weeks and the $$ go to charity. How about Regis-Jerry Springer-Ricki Lake- Ru Paul anyone out there have any other ideas!! |
Draheid | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 03:07 pm     How about the top 25 comedians as selected by E! Televisions program RANK? Can you imagine all that comedic talent in one house at the same time?!?! I think the production crews would be so busy LOL they wouldn't be able to get it all on tape! |
Tooty | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 12:37 am     they should take all the bb winners of past shows and have them all compete against eachother for the super prize. Also, when somebody wins HOH they should make the 2 people that are up for nomination have to be the slave to head of house that whole week. Like clean the HOH room, do HOH laundry, cook HOH meals. Do everything for the HOH person. |
Bidasea | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:14 am     How about an all female show.. Jordan Shannon Alicia from Survivor Kimmi from Survivor Jamie Sue Hawk Kelly from Survivor 4 Tonya Chiara Krista |
Crossfire | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:20 am     I'd be willing to watch that. Boy would it get ugly U-G-L-Y ugly. |
Ladytex | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:22 am     Bidasea, That would be one scary show ... the feeds would be great, though, I would imagine. Can you say "Cat Fight Central"? |
Draheid | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:27 am     Bidasea: Since they'd need 12 houseguests, and sort of keeping with the 'all "girl"' theme, they could include Marcellas and Bunky too?  |
Bbfanatic | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:48 am     I would like to have all live voting or at least vote during the live show so they do a little editing if needed. I love to seem them squirm. Plus, when you put them on the spot they may vote differently. I love to see live voting. You get to see all the others staring them down as they walk out of the diary room. I think it would make the live feeds better too. The first year we voted and it caused problems, but i would love for us to get a vote in. Not a tie breaker, but an actual vote each week. Then the hgs can talk all they want about who they want to vote out but will not have any clue what the fans want. |
Smartypants | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 09:31 am     Here's a novel idea... How about choosing real applicants from the pool. People that fill out applications, make videos, get interviewed, etc. Make it like a game show where contestants legitimately compete against one another without any scripts because they want to have fun, play games and win a grand prize of $money (not fame) after spending 100 days with a group of strangers. Now that would be a great show! p.s. Can you tell that I'm a BB3 applicant reject? :-) |
Bidasea | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 10:27 am     LOL Draheid...Or how about Brandon/Brandy from Survivor 4?? He'd be great at a shooting the arrow contest.. |
Missy2 | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 10:53 am     On the next Big Brother (or maybe they can start this on this one). They should play that horrible theme song music (foth-music) in the entire house. 24 / 7 for 3 months - hehheh |
Eliz87 | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:00 am     Could we nix the peanut butter thing next time? It's boring to the HG's AND to the viewers. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:12 am     smarty, that's the way we always heard it was....but seeing BB2 and BB3 has made it obvious they are more and more 'choosing' and 'producing' a show and its contestants. not a fair representation of applicants at all. i am about done with BB3. why don't they just call it 'the ASS' (arnie shapiro show)... i think they should get rid of everyone but danielle, who applied the way you did, it seems, and put in 11 more houseguests who weren't handpicked. and lori can be one of them, because i believe she applied, too. |
Maris | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:24 am     Instead of all the HGs, running to find bedrooms in the first show. They should start out with a challenge earler in the day which would include the assignment of bedrooms. HGs have to stay in their assigned bedrooms through the first two evictions. After two weeks they can sleep where they want. |
Marameko | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:26 am     Not ugly, but OOOOOOOGLY. "OGLIER" than a rat chewing an onion and crying.Now, that is OOOOOOOGLY. "Act as if failure is impossible" Ashanti Proverb |
Mystery | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:30 am     I like that idea, Maris. I might lead to some interesting alliances between people who otherwise wouldn't hang out much together. |
Sobaditsgood | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:52 am     When BB first started the premise seemed to focus more on the fact that they would be in a "stripped down" house with "no luxuries" or convenience items, etc. But even in that season the house was not stripped down in terms of furnishings, etc. Still looked like it was furnished from a combination Pottery Barn/Ikea, they still got the pool (guess they have to have that so the girls have a reason for the bikinis - but isn't the sun enough?). Whatever happened to the idea of roughing it? Personally I'd LOVE to see them put in a setting a lot closer to the national average. Or a house furnished and stocked as though it belonged to someone earning, say, minimum wage. So MY idea for BB4 is to *really* strip it down. Make it more like the average person's apartment, and I mean average person, not 'person who knows somebody who knows somebody in hollywood' which seems to be the case with half these people. Let's see some handmedown furniture, lose the artsy color scheme in favor of some good ol' "landlord white"! I'm thinking of a set not unlike those in some of the old shows from the 70's featuring working class people, say the Bunkers' living room (can you see them fighting over the "good" chair?!). Yeah yeah I know theoretically the show has to be "visually appealing" to attract ratings. But it's so stylized that it's boring. I'd also like it if they made one of them do the shopping for the whole house with a set amount of money - maybe give each person a chance to earn up to a certain amount and then throw all of it into a house kitty for shopping. On shopping day, one HG would be escorted to a store to do the shopping - no list, just money. If they remembered some people's requests, great, if they didn't, oops - might be cause for a little friction. Food choices/amounts are obviously a big deal on the show so why not do something more interesting than 'if you lose, you eat peanut butter for a week.' Yawn. Now, what I'd *most* like to see is a group of these folks locked in a BB type house with a very strict $$ budget, meager furnishings, and a couple of kids to deal with. Amy thinks *she* is bored?! Oh my, I wonder how many hours (it wouldn't be days with most of these self-absorbed folks, heh) each HG could take of young children whining 'I'm so BORED! There's nothing to DO!' before they went running to the panic buttons. Of course, you couldn't do a show like this because kids can't sign releases... plus, it'd cut into all the sex talk/tension which drives much of the show at least behind the scenes. But it'd be funny, in a slightly sadistic way. |
Draheid | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:56 am     Sobaditsgood: How about a true 'Bacherlor/Bachelorette' pad...where a lot of the furniture is made of things like cinder-blocks, cable-reels, etc. Even more interesting, fill the back yard with these types of materials and leave the house empty so they can make their own 'furniture'! As to shopping: How about a 'Supermarket Sweeps' type shopping spree with the HOH having to do the shopping each week? What do you think?? |
Mystery | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:58 am     Sobad and Draheid, don't forget the milk crate furniture! |
Draheid | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 11:59 am     Oh, and an AM radio that only picks up stations from Mexico??? LOL |
Carter | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 12:00 pm     i dislike that they take up the first 8 min. of each weeks t.v. show with re hashing the last show (even sometimes back before that) its ok to show old clips if it is revelant to the present show.(eg - josh saying he never wanted marcelles out then showing the clip where he said marcellus should be first to go) the re-hash is just time filler. |
Draheid | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 12:02 pm     I'd like to see some sort of date/time clock in the diary room entries (not for them to see, but for the audience) to perhaps put into perspective when they said the things they say in there. I think it would add a whole new perspective to the show. Especially for those of us who read/watch the live feeds. |
Poesía | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 12:05 pm     I'd like to see the next show a whole lot more Orwellian. It is, after all, supposed to be based on the Big Brother concept from 1984. How about the houseguests being a lot more controlled by "Big Brother." In other words, tell them when to go to bed, when to get up, when to eat, no they can't do this, yes they must do that. A lot more psychological pressure. Maybe have certain information available to them in the diary room. ie - Since Big Brother is watching and listening, the HGs have a certain number of opportunities to ask who said what about them. Or give certain HGs all the power one week and make the rest have to obey, sort of like the 1973 Zimbardo prison psychological experiment (a little more intense than HOH or eating PBJ for a week). Then it really will be survival of the mentally fittest. Right now it's just more of a country club. All the talk between them about alliances is getting SO boring. I think that if BB put a lot more demands on them, they wouldn't have so much time to lie in the sun and b**ch to one another about nothing. I also think they would band together at a certain point. Oooo, how about this? They wake up one morning and one of the HGs is gone (let's say they were just a plant (BB employee) from the beginning) and BB won't tell them what happened to them. More of an us against them situtation. I think that would be new and interesting. Of course, people would have to know what they were getting into before they joined the show. Does all of this sound too cruel? :-) |
