What would you do if you were Big Brother?

Goddess146 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:09 am     Why do so many people want to see the HGs suffer? I hope none of you own pets. |
Angelbleu | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:16 am     I have been reading the BB in South Africa...they start off with 10 people...there are 4 more that aren't in the house yet.they are sequestered..and the public is voting 2 of them into the house...in the mean while the hg have moved into an empty house....they have to stand for 12 hours before they get their beds and the rest of their furniture......they have to wash a pile of dishes that were in the SR (dirty dishes from a big party) before they get their glasses and dishes..when they get their furniture they have to set it up themselves...to get jacuzzi privileges they have to fill it themselves with little buckets....they have been working on it for 3 days.....the only veggies they get are in a greenhouse in backyard they have to take care of themselves... and our hg think they have it tough????????????? |
Missy2 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:17 am     "I guess the first season put the fear of mass walkout into them and they're scared to be viewed as the enemy." I watched bb1 but I don't remember how they antagonized them? What happened?? |
Maesin | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:31 am     I never really got into the first or second season, but I knew someone who was and I heard all about it. These people don't have to work for anything and that makes it somewhat boring. I would like to see group projects and challenges, I want to see them do something other than sleep and plot. It's not that I want them punished, but it's 500,000$ for goodness sake, make them work for it! <stepping off soap box> |
Peachie | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:45 am     REO fan here too, saw them in concert in February and they were great, did all the stuff from the High Infidelity album. I think WCV's idea is great cause that song would start them a thinking. |
Foodbunny | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:55 am     Big Brother 1 didn't really do anything to antagonise the houseguests. The problem was that they were terrified of the voting public and didn't understand why some votes went the way they did (Brit getting kicked out over George, for example) so they became convinced that Big Brother was editting them at their worst. The banners were also driving them crazy and they thought that was Big Brother's fault too. Essentially they placed all the blame for things that they didn't control on Big Brother. Now that the element of the voting public is removed they shouldn't coddle the houseguests and give them whatever they want whenever they want it anymore, but they do. |
What555456 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:57 am     If we are going to pipe in music, the only song to use is "It's a Small World." Played over and over and over again. |
Twinkle | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 11:29 am     For those of us who miss the hgs' reactions to banners, I'd love to see BB fly some that make no sense whatsoever and allow whoever is in the yard at the time to see them. "X4 sprDRdqMrrtt" or "HoH11prg woofle" would have them speculating for hours. *I laughed so hard during the Tiny Bubbles torture that my cats freaked out.* |
Aussiedeb | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 11:49 am     LMAO I was thinking Tiny Bubbles, I read hubby this thread.. he said "welcome to the jungle" is an excellent choice..guns and roses sings it..lol I love the South Africa BB now that would be fun.. There are lots of great suggestions. Hang on hubby just made a suggestion: They are coming to take me away, ha ha etc... played over and over... This is fun lol |
Bigfan | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:21 pm     Oh, what would I like for BigBrother to do????? Work Baby Work=Make the houseguest work more. Repaint the fence, grown some flowers, bake homemade bread for a city shelter, build a playhouse for a needy daycare, just hard work that needs some leadership and hard labor. Play for fun=Get Parker Bros. to sign on and give them games that people like to play. Let them win candy bars or treats from another sponsor. Make them think=not who is voting or going to win next but make them talk about their own values, dreams and thoughts. Questions of the day that they sit around and everyone shares their mind. This is only a start but busy, busy, busy they should be. |
Draheid | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:30 pm     Bigfan: How about all of your suggestions PLUS the rules as they are in other countries: NO TALK OF NOMS or VOTING <PERIOD>...JMO FWIW |
Eden | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:44 pm     No, Dra!! That's my favorite part! I like the drama I don't want to just watch people working all day, although I thought Bigfans ideas were fantastic, especially the public service projects! Give them some things like that to do rather than making silly tiles and the other vapid craft projects they've done in the past. But,I admit, I like the scheming! |
Reader234 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:48 pm     I think it would be great if BB would impose penalties for breaking the RULES!!! OK, give them one warning, next time you are caught (singing, or not wearing mike etcc) then BAM! Run a maze... remember them teaching pagita? So maybe again animals (one week, one animal) that need to be introduced to people, to be trained? It (the Pug) helped them to focus on something else besides thier SELFISH needs... (oops imho of course!! *g) |
Webkitty | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:51 pm     I would be happy if they just set a curfew so that the BB fans on the East Coast didn't have to literally stay up all night to keep up with what is going on. And make them all get up at a certain time everyday. Also, expand that yard so that challenges could be more interesting. Maybe even put in a bigger pool so some of the challenges could be there. I liked the idea above of having them put together a washing machine, and if they could do it, they got to keep it. (but no set time limit, let it be a project, something to do) One other thing, show a controversial movie, one that would generate debate between them. Even have BB tell them they HAVE to discuss it after. I don't nesseccsarily want them to have it harder, just more interesting for MEeeeeeee!!!!! LOl! |
Reader234 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 01:11 pm     LOL webkitty, but remember if they show a movie to the hamsters, its FOH for us!! There has to be a better way for entertainment than to constantly be bombarded with strategy!! I think that with survivor it is only on 1 hour per week, and we dont have to suffer watching those people lay around suffering for lack of food, altho they did show us a lot of laying around shots!! and I also feel that as the number of hg ddwindles the boredom increases, so it could be interesting to see what as has up his sleeve, altho, I just dont think he's that clever, or cares enough, as long as he gets his ratings?! |
Avrey258 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 01:18 pm     I would make the food challenges more difficult. I have heard several houseguests talk about a nutritionist and how bad their diet is and how it is messing up their systems. I think they have plenty to eat. Look at the people on Survivor. They get rice! You know how they look after thirty days. At least this bunch only has to eat PB&J for a week and it is unlimited at that. It's not like they are expending alot of energy either. They nap and get to sleep in a bed. I would also give them projects to complete. Maybe a system where they earn points to eat or use the dryer. |
Willsfan | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 01:36 pm     Both BB1 and BB2 gave the HGs some challenges that were difficult, I especially liked the road map challenge because they had to study for that one. LOL I like the idea of a small garden with tomatoes, peppers, etc. BTW I wonder if anyone in this group can even make butt bread? |
Curlyq | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 01:47 pm     You all have so many great ideas! I was just thinking that if I was Big Brother I would only cast people who had actually watched at least one season of the show so they'd know what the game was about. No misunderstandings about this being the Dating Game or anything. I'd also try to make it more alliance-proof. I know that adds to the drama, but unless the players are really smart (which so often they're not) the alliances can often create a predictable show. I hate knowing in advance who's leaving. I'd like to see who would get voted out if everyone was forced to use their own minds instead of relying on group-think. I liked the Boot Camp practice of letting the evictee take somebody out with them. The votes could be every other week, and on the week in between the last person voted out by the house would choose who leaves next. I'd also be a lot stricter, and I'd keep a pool of alternates on hand to go in at any time if any of the HGs have a problem with sticking to the rules. Just knowing that there are people waiting to replace them would probably be enough to keep the HGs from complaining about PB&J and not having enough workout equipment. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 03:11 pm     Curlyq the problem with stopping them from strategizing is that you get a boring show. Think back to BB1 when they weren't allowed to talk about votes,evictions, strategies, alliances. Yes, we all liked the people better but that was because they were hindered from playing the game. They just had to exist in the house and "get along" with their housemates. |
