Draheid | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 10:35 pm     Tabbyking: I can't remember if it was Tonya or Lori. One of them did ask about their family when Julie was interviewing her and Julie just 'side-stepped' the question with something about "they'd get to that later" (not exact words) and finished the interview. |
Nermal | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 10:35 pm     Actually Tabby, Tonya did ask. She asked if her girls were there. Julie brushed her off with, "you'll see them soon enough." I think the other two didn't have a chance to ask, at least on camera. |
Charlesfk | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 10:37 pm     Tabby, Tonya asked Julie if she would see her family... |
Seamonkey | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 11:05 pm     And she said "see you in September" to all three of them.. Tonya was definitely asking about her kids. And all three of them seemed to be looking around for family. Don't blame them. |
Twinkle | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 08:50 am     While the site was down this morning I did a little BB surfing and found something interesting. Amy's dad was interviewed by a Memphis entertainment writer and this appears in the article: "Although CBS is keeping Crews on ice, she was able to talk to her father Thursday night. "She's doing great; she was actually bubbly on the phone. She was ecstatic. I think she was just tired of being there," he said. "I was proud of her." She will stay in Los Angeles until the show's contestants gather for the finale in September." Hmmmmmm....that wasn't the case for BB1 and 2, was it? Several possibile scenarios come to mind here. You can read the rest of the article at http://www.gomemphis.com/mca/tom_walker/article/0,1426,MCA_515_1302989,00.html Editted to add: Oops! I just found that someone else referred to a similar article in another thread. Hope this is ok. |
Grannygrunt | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 09:46 am     Twinkle, I posted the article in "Bye Amy" and I guess I really should have posted it in this thread. Sometimes I just get confused about where to post things but none the less the whole article from the paper is in "Bye Amy". |
Bmh | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 09:47 am     I think one of the twists is the hg's being sequestered..and then there is the veto...that means there is 1 more twist coming our way..and the hg's way..but I dont think it will effect who gets evicted..because the veto already does that |
Auntkk | Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 09:54 am     If someone who has already been evicted was brought back, CBS could face a possible lawsuit from a HG, stating that the odds of winning were not fairly distributed. For example, if I'm in the house and get evicted, and you have already been evicted but return and get a second chance, you have better odds of winning than me. I can sue CBS for breach of contract. This is why I don't think the new "Twist" involves an evicted HG returning- unless, of course, the returning HG acts as some sort of moderator or plays some other role that does not involve a shot at the cash. |
Jesse | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 06:41 pm     Roddy told Chiara that the DR told him sequestered HGs would "see everything" going on in the house. This would certainly give them an advantage. I wish we had cams on the sequestered HG's . . . watching them watching the game could be very amusing! |
Sia | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 09:07 pm     Maybe the BB producers instituted the sequestering this year just so they'll know where Chiara is when the time arrives for her DUI hearing! I'm hoping that she's out of the House in plenty of time for that!!  |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 09:33 pm     I said this somewhere else but I always get lost in the threads on this board. It could have been in this thread. BUT, perhaps the sequestering is designed to prevent the evicted houseguests from having their votes influenced by outside sources, i.e. family, friends, media, fans, etc. It will prevent any appearance that a vote may have been "bought" or "sold" so to speak. |
Sia | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 09:49 pm     It must be really expensive for the show to pay to house and feed the evicted HGs for so long. What is the budget for BB this year? Have they trimmed expenses in other areas to make up for the added cost of sequestering? (Like making guests eat PB & J and ordering Subway instead of letting the HGs eat anything they want?) |
Draheid | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:01 pm     Sia: very limited alcohol this year ... that's probably enough for the sequestering, ya think? LOL |
Seamonkey | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 10:07 pm     Think of the savings in Nyquil and Hydroxycut from last year.. that helps too. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 11:43 pm     They also didn't have the expense of flying the families out on eviction night. |
Jesse | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 04:15 am     Just a thought . . . by not letting the HGs make the TV interview rounds after eviction, Shapiro has reduced their chances of developing a popularity base for future media opportunities . . . don't know what his motive would be here unless it's just another Arnie control freak thing. |
Bigsister | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 05:02 am     As a person who is interested in studying personalities and relationships, my mind keeps wandering (and wondering) to the evictees and their activities. Are Lori, Tanya, and Amy sequestered together? What do they do all day, watch the live feeds 24/7, or does Arnie send them to Disneyland and Sea World? What kinds of interactions do they have, now that there is nothing to compete for? Do they get along better than they did in the house? Anybody else curious about all this? |
Gentoo | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 10:23 am     It would be interesting if at the final 5 or 6 the evicted houseguests were ghosted instead of evicted, meaning that they stay in the house (and maybe can vote) but can't win. |
Dlurkrgrl | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 10:29 am     What IF... From now on the HOH room is off limits to all but the HOH themselves? Then the HOH will be given internet access to a chat room with the evictees who have been watching the feeds and can get any information that they would like. Maybe even provided with video clips good or bad of the happenings so far. |
Calgal | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 12:18 pm     Maybe the "twist" this week is that someone can earn exemption from being put up for nominations... didn't that happen on BB2?! That would be great if someone in the clique was free from being put on the chopping block, yet still allowed to vote! |
Earthmother | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 12:28 pm     Maybe the twist is just that they bring in huge rolls of tape to cover Josh's mouth and chin, Roddy and Gerry's mouth during inane speechs, Lisa's butt, Marc's hands (keeps flailing them around) the damn chess board, and wrap Chiara so she looks like King Tut. Wait then we wouldn't have anything to talk about..I guess we should just wait and see. Personally it will probably be nothing big..kinda like when they play up a movie with one really good scene and the truth is the movie sucks and that scene was best 3 seconds out of 90. |
John32070 | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 12:41 pm     One thing I've noticed is the past two weeks BB2's Kent has been strangely absent from his website (he's supposed to host a chat there every eviction night) and the person I take to be as his webmaster seems to be aloof with an explanation but hinting between the lines that Kent may be in LA. Considering Kent and Shapiro got to become buddies it makes me wonder if America's Hero (what Kent was called by a banner last year) will be back. Maybe he'll tell Roddy "YOURE A LIAR"! Kent's been saying he didn't like Gerry, but after this week I'll bet he does. |
