Sam222 | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 05:15 pm     Okay i was a very big fan of BB2, and still look back fondly! But I think this year has been great, it has been total ride and just when you think you can call something you can't. Last year I read the boards daily and never posted (yes I was a lurker)but this year I have actually posted, first time ever anywhere, this game has stirred up so much curiosity, disgust, wonder etc.! Loving it! |
Bmh | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 05:18 pm     I have been been trying to express how much I am loving this season..since Tonya got voted off..this season absolutely amazes me..I love it to death..10 times better than BB2..Arnie really hit the nail on the head this year..props! |
Alegria | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 05:22 pm     I'm with you guys. It is getting better and better. |
Misslibra | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 05:54 pm     I just have to say I am really enjoying BB3! This is good stuff! |
Wcv63 | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 05:58 pm     I had maybe....and I mean, maybe two or three moments of high excitement in BB 1 and 2. It's been almost nonstop with this group. I am thrilled with the BB3. Thrilled! |
Bbrules4ever | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 06:10 pm     bb3 all the way!!!!! much better than bb2 and bb1 |
Bridget | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:15 pm     I'm really enjoying it too. Do you think the lack of banner planes has helped? |
Ryn | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:18 pm     I almost started this thread today - I have to ageee and yes bridget - I think the lack of banner planes HAS helped a bit. I wish we could send one thoguh like we did during season One Our site sent 2 banners - just positives ones that said "Thank you HGs" They appreciated them, made them feel good. |
Sam222 | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:27 pm     I am going to go a little further and say that bb is by far my favorite of the reality shows. Of course it is because of the feeds, I don't really know how hooked I would be by just the TV show. I think that watching the feeds also givs you a lot of insight in to how other reality shows work and the enormous power of editing. |
Seanflynn | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Ryn - I started the threat you almost started today last week - remember? |
Bmh | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:42 pm     I started a thread about liking BB3 about 2 weeks ago..it was acknowledged but people were still ify about this season back then |
Maris | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:56 am     someone posted in another thread about how they were happy there were no banners. This show would not be nearly as enjoyable if there had been banners since the HGs would have been warned about everything. They would have found out about the visiting HGs and we would have missed the speculation. The secret conversations and alliances would be exposed to all and the HGs would not have received as many shocks as they have this year. Think about it, by now Roddy would know that Dani and M are considering voting him out. Chi would have been told that Lisa knew all about her vote. This show is the most enjoyable so far mostly because we sit here with information that the HGs dont have and we sit on pins and needles waiting for them to find out what we know. |
Beagle | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:08 am     This years BB is wonderful. The whole darn thing! I must admit, it took me a little bit to get into the show because I was away on holidays. But now, I spend easily half my day here on the boards and watching the feeds. They're still free for me till Aug 29th. After that, I dunno, it's expensive in CND to get them, I doubt I will. But I do know I can come here and get the scoop just as well as if I were watching it live. Thanks to the LFP for doing a great job! BB3 Rocks!
(I love my beagle clipart, I always sign off with it lol) |
Angelbleu | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:30 am     I agree......I do not miss the banners one little bit and I think not having them influence the game has made it even more entertaining. |
Earthmother | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:54 am     I have to admit it is much better without banners, watchin' them all squirellin' around lookin' for a nut...and then thinking they found one. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:55 am     Nuts aren't hard to find in that house Earthmother. All they have to do is look in the mirror! |
Maris | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:58 am     Then they discover it is a lizard turd |
Maesin | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 02:34 pm     I think this is the best place to post this. With all that has been going on the past couple of days, I will say that in a sick, twisted, odd little way I am enjoying it. It's like a soap opera meets Jerry Springer. I am still waiting for a good fight though. All the fights are kinda like those hand held sparklers you get for the Fourth of July. You light them, they make some fizz, you wave them around, but in the end your disappointed because you are left holding a useless piece of wire. I want to see real fireworks!! |
Draheid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:21 pm     Here's a new scenario that would surely shake up reality tv in general! What if Lori is selected to go back in ... gets evicted on the 1st week of her return, is then sent BACK to the islands, returns the Second time, and wins the grand prize!!! Wow, talk about a coup!!!! |
Wendo | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:32 pm     I agree, this season has been far better than the first and second season. We've been able to watch more strategizing, scheming, and lying. Things the HG's of past season couldn't do as well due to the banners. I was VERY against the banners during the first season, as well as the woman with the bullhorn. I felt it disrupted the play of the game. During BB2, I was even more against it. I'm happy that there have not been any banners this year, and I hope it stays that way. I understand the need of some audience members wanting to have an impact on the game, but they're not playing. Only the HG's are. So, count me along with the majority in this thread; SAY NO TO BANNERS. ps. I didn't mind the ones that thanked HG's, only the ones that could affect the game. |
Whit4you | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:10 pm     I think the thing that makes this year so good is the total unpredictablity.... Will made last years game sorta unpredictible even when we thought it was wrapped up by Nic/Hardy/Krista/Monica or what have you... but this year we have NO clue who might win or who might go next etc... I really do wish they'd have more OZ style games and fun going on cause this intensity is gonna cause some of the's HG's to seek therapy for a few yrs when this is done but... it's like this I was gone 24 hours... and I don't think I can ever catch up...lol. I coulda been gone from the US bb or OZ bb last year for 24 hours and not really missed anyhting now I'm like 'years' behind...did Rod really not want Chaira nom'ing him? Is Gerry really gonna stand by Rod? Didnt he pay rod back by NOT nomming him last week... you know there are 5000 things I missed by being gone 24 hours lol |
Twinkle | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:21 pm     Last year I had a negative attitude about the show because it wasn't BB1, Part 2. This year, I'm over my snit and have been enjoying the heck out of what I'm seeing, with the exception of the live feeds not staying on top of the action. The mix of personalities, some of whom I despised at first, has turned out to be a great catalyst for unexpected twists and turns. The banners were fun...I hung out at a site last year that flew several that said a whole lot more than "Thank you" , but I have to admit the show is significantly better without them. |
Paulyaceiii | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:23 pm     cannot agree more Wendo...banners are like getting the answers of an important quiz..sure you'll get a 100, but wont you feel guilty later?
 |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:23 pm     This is the best one so far. These HGs are still not as interesting as those on BB1, however the show is much much better. |
Bmh | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:27 pm     ummmmmmmmm...Ocean-Islands..that is your opinion and I respect that..but since when were the BB1 houseguests interesting???..omg they were a snorefest..I had trouble even looking at their pictures without getting sleepy.. BB1=BORING BB2=BETTER!! BB3=BEST!!! |
Ryn | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:30 am     And the signs are good for a BB4 - of the 15 shows aired so far, BB has won its slot in 10, and placed 2nd in the other 5. (These are based on the overnight ratings, they have changed a bit but the final #'s are harder to find). Saturdays show was WAY up from previous Saturdays. guess I better not make too many plans for next summer. (ratings are listed in an outside the house thread HERE ) |
Wargod | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:47 am     Hehe, but, Ryn, where will they find another group of houseguests to top this years?? |
Sam222 | Tuesday, August 13, 2002 - 07:49 pm     OK I started this thread last week, but I've got to say it 5 days later and I am liking it even more I think that it has blown BB2 out of the water and I loved BB2. I know a lot of people were complaining about a lack of "real" people but this group has been very entertaining and I feel no remorse for the $9.95 a month I have spent. I am also loving this board y'all are great |
Bmh | Tuesday, August 13, 2002 - 07:58 pm     I agree Sam222..just in the last couple of days..it has been so entertaining and interesting to watch..I mean the BB3 house is constantly in chaos..it was never like that during BB2..this season keeps amazing me more and more..it's unbelievable..I am loving this season!!.. ..I hope it can keep up to par for next 2 months it's on..and this is coming from a huge fan of BB2 |
