Keiffer | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:13 pm     I just saw a commercial on CBS that said: BB sent shockwaves through the House!!! Tune in on Wed. to see!!!!!! Now every FOTH has me wondering if the shockwaves are happening? Anyone else see the commercial? |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:16 pm     After all this, if I'm not shocked by the shock which causes the shockwaves, I'm going to be mighty po'd. Nope, I didn't see it. |
Squidvicious | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:17 pm     I haven't seen the commercial yet, but I thought they all went to FOTH because Chiara, Dani and someone else were singing that "Miss Mary Mac" hand-clapping song from elementary school. No one in the house is acting like there have been "shockwaves" sent. So who knows. |
Keiffer | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:18 pm     No, your right it doesnt apear that there was a shockwave yet. I was just wondering if I heard that commercial correct. I am like 90% sure of what I heard. |
Bmh | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:20 pm     Hmm..they would have to do the shockwaves tonite..because they cant record the twist tomrrow and then air it the very same day..bc they need to edit..so I think they are saving the twist for Thursday |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:21 pm     Well..Eric and Lisa do have the room to themselves tonight!!!! Then again..Eric doesn't strike me as a "shockwave" kinda guy.. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:25 pm     I thought Julie said that the twist would be shown (or happen) on the live show on Thursday. |
Keiffer | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:27 pm     I agree Seamonkey I thought she said that too. I may have heard it wrong, but it was one of those like 10 second things they do right befor another show is about to start. Actually this late at night I ahve to say that it seems much more liekly that it is going to be a live show thing. I was just wondering if anyone else saw the TV spot. |
Keiffer | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 07:29 pm     Zachsmom, I would say that everyone is good at something, and most board posters don't give Eric credit for being any good at anythign so far.... so maybe that is his hidden tallent. |
Wink | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:09 pm     Keiffer I think Eric is very good at relating to the lizards. |
Costacat | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:23 pm     No, I heard Julie say to tune in Thursday for the live show to find out what surprises are in store. So if there is anything that's gonna shock the hamsters (hey! ain't that a song? oh, wait, that would be "Shock the Monkey." oh, wait, they DO act like primates in there sometimes!). Anyways, if they are gonna do something, might they do it Wednesday? And then show it Thursday? Of course, unless they FOTH all day tomorrow, don't know how it'd be a secret... |
Jhezzie | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:26 pm     Joker's had a post about hearing a doorbell ring today..hmmmmm.... |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:28 pm     Costacat....Two days of FOTH? I don't think I could stand it. We already have hours and hours of FOTH on eviction day! |
Costacat | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:30 pm     Oh no.. WCV... I was JOKING!!!! |
Halleb529 | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:40 pm     I also saw the commercial that indicated the shockwaves would be shown on the show Wednesday. I think it was yesterday when the commercial was aired. |
Curlyq | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:46 pm     Could the shockwaves be referring to the whole Chiara deciding to vote out Lisa thing, or did it actually say that Big Brother caused the shockwaves? The way they were questioning Chiara last night about her reasons for wanting Lisa out makes me think they're going to do a segment on this. If they keep crying "shockwaves" before every episode, eventually we're going to stop believing them. |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:50 pm     Any seismologists on the board? Are there rumblings of some seismic activity around the nearest faultline? |
Halleb529 | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:56 pm     Curly, When I saw the commercial, I was given the impression that Big Brother is adding a twist to the game that will send shockwaves through the house...tune in to Wednesday's show to see. The above is how I interpreted the commercial. Unfortunately, I saw the commercial either yesterday or the day before, and I do not remember the exact words. However, it was clear that we are supposed to tune in WEDNESDAY, not Thursday, as Julie previously mentioned. Since there has been no action in the house indicating the twist, is it possible that BB will actually surprise us and the houseguests with a live show Wednesday night, where the twist will be revealed? I don't think so, otherwise they would have advertised in the commercial that at least part of the Wed. show was going to be live.Since the commercial has been running for at least a few days mentioning Wednesday, it does not appear as though Wed. was said in error during the commercial. Who knows what is going on??? lol |
Chrissybean | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 09:00 pm     I think on Wednesday they will tell us what the the shockwave is, to set up THursday's show |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 09:04 pm     I agree Chrissy...to make sure we all watch on Thursday and get some buzz going. From what I saw of past Neilson's, Wed. nite has by far been the biggest audience. You would think they would move the other shows to 9 seeing this. But I think they want to get some of the viewers they lose on Thur. tuning in. If there was going to be a live show they would have announced it to the TV audience in promos. |
Curlyq | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 09:05 pm     Chrissybean, that could very well be it. Didn't they tell us in advance last year before they sent the Survivors in? I tried checking the current video promo they posted at the CBS site, but it said nothing about shockwaves, so I guess I'll just be patient and wait for tomorrow night (or keep my TV tuned to CBS hoping they'll air the one you guys saw). |
Bastable | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 09:09 pm     The show has been getting its best ratings on Wednesday nights. (It was 15th among all shows on TV last week.) Apparently, CBS is merely trying to boost that even higher by using hyperbolic language. |
Curlyq | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 09:16 pm     Okay, they just showed a promo during Letterman, and it was the same one that's at the CBS site (no mention of shockwaves). Maybe they made a mistake on the other one and changed it. |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 09:34 pm     Um...didn't I just say that Bastable??? LOLOL ecchhhooooooooo And mark my words folks, if anything actually happens tomorrow in the house that causes shockwaves it will go down during the board outage here tomorrow!!! |
Woofy | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 09:52 pm     I saw the commercial just about an hour ago ... I interpreted it to mean that CBS screwed up (with the ad) and that the shockwaves will still be sent through the house on Thursday during the live show. |
Sia | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 10:42 pm     In another thread, it was stated that Kent Blackwelder is thought to be in Los Angeles. Might he appear at the front door of the hamster-house? "Survivor" participants showed up at BB, what, last season? Why not send in one of the outspoken BigBrother houseguests from last year? Kent should be permitted to speak with each houseguest alone in the Diary Room; I'd love it! |
Muse | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 11:03 pm     Maybe on Wednesday they'll mention what the twist will be (on the show, that is), and on Thursday they'll reveal it to the HGs? Of course, if they mentioned it on the show without telling the HGs, I'd imagine that Julie would be the one doing it. And she's not usually there on Wednesdays...maybe they'd just pre-tape or something. I don't know. I agree that it seems more likely that Thursday will be the big day. |
