I just wanted to start a thread where we can point out stuff that goes on in the house. Things that we notice, etc... You'll get the idea.

My first one would be :

The HG's always seem to be an hour behind in their guessing the time. They just said that they think it is Noon, but it is really almost 1pm.

My second would be :

Some of the camera's just seem to be waiting for someone to slip out a boob or other private part as much as they can. :)

Something that I and a couple others brought up at the beginning of BB3 is the women this year. They went for a certain type, and I believe they did so to get a lot more friction and a lot more "in your face" moments from them.

Add to that Arnie's desire for more "hook up" potential, you get lots of chances for what has happened between the women--and between the women and guys.

Note that while brash and outspoken, the women picked seem to have baggage which weakens their focus when stressed. Chiara concerning her looks and jealousy, Tonya with money and shallow material things. Amy with wanting attention and seemingly whining at the drop of a pin (no hats). Lori was highly charged. Lisa has held the best line as far as not losing control. Dani is taking them all on by storm, and hasn't really shown and cracks in the armor yet.

But they all will tell anyone what they think, and so far have been willing to slam anyone behind their backs (and I still hold it isn't funny watching Amy do it because I feel she means it).

So, Arnie has mixed weaknesses in each (most so far) with a high level of assertiveness for each, along with the potential for the single ones to consider getting close (at some level) to a guy.

An explosive combination up to this point, and I think before the game is over, we will see much more of it. I could be wrong though.

This seems worthy too, and in danger of falling off the edge (I'm only going to do one more, then I'll stop. Control freak!)

Actually my mom had this observation/question and thought it was kinda odd. They haven't showed Roddy voting on the TV shows, ya know the part when he would describe the how and why he came to his decision and then cast his vote. She figured the first eviction show they may have ran out of time, but he was left off the second one too?

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but they keep showing the Front Of The House a lot on the live feeds. Maybe, I'm the only one who has noticed.

I bet he talks FOREVER, Eddie, and thus wouldn't be a good sound bite.

Bohawkins, see the "Complain to CBS about the Feeds" thread. Lots of similiar complaints in there.

Yanno Eddie4legs... I've noticed the same thing... found it curious that we got to hear everyone else's reasons for voting how they did, but Roddy's "justifications" have been kept absent... kinda makes ya go HMMMMMM...

Hawk... Front door??? Geez, I think I've only seen it once or twice this year...<snort>

Oregonfire - Just a little humor for you. I think the FOTH subject has been posted ad nauseum. Surely, you knew I was kidding.

I have posted in the Complain to CBS feed, several times.

Also, I want to point out that Roddy cheated, and that the girls are talking about sex and the live feeds aren't always live.

Oh--I missed that part, Bo. As a matter of fact, I READ some of your posts in that thread a little while ago. Now you can rest assured that at least one person is not post-stalking you.

I am beginning to think that BB helps to suggest who should be evicted each week by pitting the contestants against eachother in the DR. It sounds like they plant a lot of seeds in players heads with a lot of them not being true making the player think this or that person said this or that. At this point I think BB wants L/E/R/C in the final four due to the relationship angle. Anybody else think this?

Okay, this is not bashing, because I really don't mind Gerry that much, but...

The handwashing thing is bad. I can see why it'd bother people. I mean, he put Preparation H on in the WC, then came out and *rinsed* his hands with water. No soap. And then made breakfast for everyone. What's especially strange is that he's doing something like that after they addressed the whole handwashing issue.

Of course, I also think that the HGs should talk to Gerry (individually) if they have a problem with the hygiene issue, rather than just ripping him apart behind his back.

Sheila494, this show is so typecast, I'm almost certain the producers have pre-conceived "types" in their heads before they even begin with auditions. After watching all three "BB's," here's what I've come up with:

BIG BRAIN
Curtis (BB1)
Will (BB2)
Roddy (BB3)

CUTIE PIE
Brit (BB1)
Autumn (BB2)

GAY GUY
Bunky (BB2)
Marcellus (BB3)

HIGH-STRUNG "OLDER" LADY
Karen (BB1)
Nicole (BB2)
Lori (BB3)

HUNK
Josh (BB1)
Hardy (BB2)
Eric (BB3)

JERK
Eddie (BB1)
Mike (BB2)

MINORITY LADY
Cassandra (BB1)
Monica (BB2)
Danielle (BB3)

OLD FAT GUY
George (BB1)
Kent (BB2)
Gerry (BB3)

SEXPOT
Jordan (BB1)
Shannon (BB2)
Chiara (BB3)
Lisa (BB3)

SEXY MOM
Sheryl (BB2)
Tonya (BB3)

SOUTHERN BELLE
Krista (BB2)
Amy (BB3)

SWEET AND VIRGINAL
Jamie (BB1)
Jason (BB3)

TROUBLE WITH A CAPITAL "T"
Mega (BB1)
Justin (BB2)
Josh (BB3)

If you don't fit the "type," you don't make the cut. I don't see Asians regularly cast on this show, or Hispanics (astonishing considering that in the community where "BB" is produced, Hispanics are nearly in the majority), or doctor/lawyer women, etc. When you really think about it, "BB" is really a mainstream TV show, with lots more in common with "Everybody Loves Raymond" or "Cheers" than with "reality."

Many of this year's HGs don't try to keep covered up when changing clothes and showering, they just let it all hang out. But, that's probably why they were chosen. The camera crew must really be enjoying this year's show.

Hooray! A serious (i.e., not about individual sex practices) conversation on the patio about the death penalty!

Yet again, and for no discernable reason, I caught about a minute of that conversation and they cut to FOTH. By this time they were talking about wife abusers.

I hate AS productions this year.

Danielle was just talking in detail about some movie where a married couple breaks up, gets back together, etc. What movie was she talking about?

I think she was talking about the movie "The Story of Us" with Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer.

I think BB would be much better if there was some sort of conspiracy going on. Like this:

Eric and Roddy are actually gay lovers. They fooled CBS into getting on the show together. They're doing the whole girlfriend thing with (Lisa and Kiki) to throw everyone off while gathering votes to swing in their favor. They are are in cahoots to win the prize.

Marc. and Danielle are actually brother and sister. Marc. is an actor and is playing the part of being gay.

Josh is totally clueless. He came into the house with narry a plan, but once he got there the scheming began. Eric and Roddy figured that they could reel Josh into their scheme too, but Josh (being the loose cannon he is) isn't fitting into the Eric and Roddy plan.

Now that would be an interesting plot for BB3.

Wasn't it great in BB1 when Josh was resetting the potato clock ... I loved the 'games' like that.

When they call a lockdown and the HG's pull down the shades, it makes a really really squeeky annoying sound like fingernails on a chalk board.

I wonder how the guys in the sound booth handle that. I bet they just hate lockdowns.. lol :)

Oh, and also, when they are in lockdown inside, they can see through the blinds on the door if they are at the right angle.
