Lurknomore | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 10:58 am     I walked in the room just in time to hear this (there goes that damn blood pressure again). Was it my beloved Marcellas??? YIKES |
Alaginger | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:10 am     No.......I think you were just hearing my hubby call me from the kitchen......(LOL) |
Carrly | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:14 am     lurk, it was Roddy talking to Marc. I was LFPing and only caught a part of it. Something about the internet viewers are a mutant section of....missed end. But then Marc laughed and chirped in with his own opinion but my feed was garbled and I missed it. I'm a pretty pathetic LFPer. Hope someone else caught it and could share... |
Tootseug | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:22 am     Remember AS hates us. He'd rather we didn't exist. I am sure the DR is FEEDIING their own frustration about being observed 24/7. |
Ellenkats | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:27 am     <---would debate who the freaks on the net really are.... "I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one But I can tell you anyhow, I'd rather see one, than be one." |
Earthmother | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:41 am     lol... |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:42 am     I've been a BB freak for three years, a lot longer than these jokers making the comments in the house -- and I know enough that these poor HGs regret their decision (and the greed that made them do it) to be on livecam 24/7... so they take it out on us. We're used to it! Chat away, poor little HGs, your neck is on the chopping block! lol |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:47 am     I think Arnold knows we are a necessary part of the show. If he didn't want us, why invest in all the cameras, extra lighting (along upper walls), etc.. Remember there are cameramen and women behind those walls, 24 hrs a day. If he wanted the HG's to know outside information, he would let us fly banners. They may get some information, but I doubt if it's very much. As to Roddy's stupid comment.. "Takes one to know one" |
Grannygrunt | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:48 am     Was listening but too much going on at my house for the live feeds to have my undivided attention but wasn't this in the discussion that Roddy and Mar were having about Josh waking up and struting his "Wood" all over the house? I may be wrong but I thought the jest of that was about "just us internet people" seeing Josh like that. Now if I saw Josh like that, then it would be for certain, I would cancel my live feeds. I can go my whole life and never ever see that site. Besides Mewwitt, who would want to? IMO. I may be wrong about this convo. Like I said confusion in my house. (grown kids home for the weekend. will sunday never come?) |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 11:52 am     Lurk:I walked in the room just in time to hear this ROTF!!!!!! can you smack a few of them upside the head with a wet noodle while your there!!! had vision of Lurk inside the BB house |
Lurknomore | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 12:01 pm     LOLOLOL it would be my greatest pleasure. Maybe instead of banners you guys should just drop ME down in there. Of course my first order of business would be to tell Roddy, at length, why he is wrong about John Edward. From there I have a whole lot of things I'd be glad to "discuss" with all of em. And last but not least, my personal highlight of my visit, while they drag me out kicking and screaming, I bet I could get at least ONE good kick in at Arnie tehehehehe ;) |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 12:13 pm     LOL Lurk..I WOULD LOVE for one of us to be able to go in there for a day..and let them know a few things..then again..they'd change and it wouldn't be as much fun.. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 12:26 pm     The way I see it, we are a free marketing focus group for them. I think Arnie's minions have the BB fan sites on speed dial. They start asking some pretty familiar-sounding questions in the DR about a day after we discuss them, i.e. "Do you think that Roddy's playing you?" to Chiara and one other question, I can't remember. I also noticed that they had stalls this week during the HOH competition so the HGs couldn't see each other, a suggestion made by someone at this site. Just my conspiracy theory. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 12:33 pm     I don't know if Arnie has people prowling the internet. He may have one or two on the CBS BB site looking in on the chats. Do they have a message board this year? I think if he were really smart he would have people getting the pulse of the show in this fashion but IMO, he's not that smart. |
Lurknomore | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 12:38 pm     I'm still not convinced that one of his flunkies didn't start the thread asking for ideas about what the twist will be (my apologies if that new poster isn't a cbs flunkie lol). But I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have at least the interns checking up on things here and other BB places. The problem is Arnie has NO respect for us as a group so I think he wouldn't take our ideas too seriously. But for him to be sucessful he clearly isn't a total fool (he just produces them on tv LOL). I'm sure he is open to stuff that goes on here, as long as he never has to show us any respect or decency |
Dogdoc | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 12:39 pm     Lurk, I don't get the live feeds. What did "know it all" Roddy say about John Edward? |
Lurknomore | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 12:43 pm     oh it was BAD (if you believe in JE or life after death communication). We had a rip roaring thread or 2 going about it here as well. He basically said John is full of crap, a total fraud, you can't talk to the dead, he hates his guts, and anyone who believes in this is just stupid. I wanted to reach through the screen and wring his close minded neck |
Dogdoc | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 01:01 pm     Thanks Lurk. I like John Edward and believe that he really does communicate with the dead. I am glad that he said that animals communicate with him too. Roddy doesn't know it, but he has a lot to learn. |
Sia | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 02:09 pm     Arnold Shapiro may very well have people combing though message-board threads looking for new ideas for the Challenges: isn't he making up his "twists" and "changes" as he goes along?  |
Alaginger | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 02:14 pm     Oh, I would love if next week's twist was a seance at the Big Brother house with John Edward. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 02:34 pm     A GREAT surprise guest Ala!! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 02:55 pm     "I think Arnold knows we are a necessary part of the show. If he didn't want us, why invest in all the cameras, extra lighting (along upper walls)" I don't think Arnie gives us any credit for anything at all. They invested in all the cameras just to define the show....the whole idea of "Big Brother" is that people are watched 24/7....I don't think our input or ideas do anything at all to help Arnie run the show. The mere fact that we are here witnessing the 24/7 feeds running....well that legitimizes the whole concept. Without the internet feeds, there would be no proof of a real Big Brother type situation....it would only be "Big Brother Living" for their (edited) 3 hours a week rather than 24/7 live feeds....and that is so far away from the original concept as to undermine the authenticity of the show's premise. JMO |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 03:05 pm     Exactly SanFran. I think with limiting our input to AC he doesn't have as much issue with the internet as he did when banners were flying. However, he still knows that the internet KNOWS how the editing skews the facts. That alone is enough to make him dislike the feeds. He needs the feeds to legitimize the concept. Nothing more. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 03:10 pm     Roddy just called us "not human" is trying to be funny, I think. |
Spunky | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 03:11 pm     According to Roddy we are a bunch of 12 yr olds trying to catch some nudity on the net... How little does he understand the internet community and how little does he know about 12 yr olds!!! |
