Zachsmom | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:20 pm     Cathie..yes..and everytime they talk about something Tanya would be interested in knowing..SHE get's the FOTH! |
Babyruth | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:30 pm     Maybe the HOH will get to choose to replace an about-to-be voted out person... Kind of like Let's Make A Deal. Will you nominate HG number one, number two, OR take the mystery former HG behind curtain number three?  |
Chyang | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:35 pm     Hope Hardywins idea is true, that'll be one America's Choice I'd care to call in for. Delilah's idea is even more fun, maybe their producers visit fan sites and pick it up?? With the right publicity it could earn them some more points! |
Zachsmom | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:35 pm     LOL Babyruth..that is priceless.. gosh i miss that show.. |
Cathie | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:36 pm     LOL, Zachsmom, YES!!! All the other evicted HG get the full live feeds, but Tonya gets 24-hour-a-day 4 screens of FOTH!!!! |
Mygetaway | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:45 pm     I was thinking along the lines of the evicted HG's will go back to living in the house, BUT they are out of the game, meaning they can't win the money. They won't have to compete for food, or anything like that. They become the "rich" side of the house, get all the benefits, etc. They've been able to see the show on TV only (MAYBE) but no internet stuff. I dunno...{LOL} |
Marksman | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:50 pm     Wow imagine being able to get Lori or Tonya back in the house! The intrigue... The Excitement...
You ever notice that the first people to get kicked out are the one's you would least want to see come back anyways? Could change this week... but so far... BAH |
Max | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:57 pm     Remember one year they had an evicted HG come back for a visit. I think it was Cassandra in BB1, but I can't remember for sure. The difference this time is that the evicted HGs seem to be sequestered, so they can't bring back news of families or possibly even info about how the remaining players are "being portrayed." Of course, if they are totally sequestered (that is, they can't see newspapers, TV, make phone calls, etc.), then what diff does it make if they come visit? They can't add or subtract anything from what is going on if they haven't been able to get in tune with happenings outside the house. Time will tell. |
Crossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:06 pm     Yes, I remember that. It was yet another reason why I despised the first season. They all decided before she even arrived that they did not want any information about the show or themselves because it would disrupt the game. Boooooring. |
Hardywins | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:06 pm     BB1, Will/Mega came back to give BB1-JOsh a blindfolded "massage" reward, that was actually a torture session. |
Crossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:09 pm     I remember the producers themselves were so bored with the situation, they tried to buy out a member, and they had some tart all lined up to put her in the house to shake things up, none of them took the bait though. Man, that was annoying. |
Realitytvaddict | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:13 pm     I think they should let an evictee back in the house after watching all of the footage. They should make this person HOH for the week. Ahhhh let the begging begin. ;) |
Hosewater | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:13 pm     Will-Mega actually gave Eddie a massage/torture session. Eddie "won" the massage but was not allowed to see or know the person giving it. Buy Hose Water Today! Chicken George Lives! |
Bohawkins | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:15 pm     I think that Arnold is taking a page from the successful Survivor show. In the last two Survivors they made a seemingly unfair switch in members from the tribes, upsetting already formed alliances. My first reaction when that happened was that it ruined the show. But, it turned out that it created better dynamics. I think that we may see something like that which would upset the alliances. Bringing back two people who had been watching the internet and diary room tapes, would certainly blow all covers and create new alliances. Another idea would be to wait until six have been eliminated. Then you bring back all six as a team (tribe-like). The remaining six would then compete survivor style against the new team. You could then have two evictions a week, with competitions to gain immunity for the team the way Survivor does (Survivor evicts every three days, I think), until you merged teams when it got to six again. Whatever happens, this will be fun to watch. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:16 pm     yes, and for tonya FOTH means : footage of tonya's hooters. she can look at them for the next 2 months! |
Squidward | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:26 pm     I would love to see one of the evicted HGs go back into the house....as long as it's not Tonya. Any big shakeup will be fine with me. Bring it on, Arnie. |
Costacat | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:28 pm     OMG Tabbyking! You got it on the nose! Or should I say knockers? That is the BEST definition of FOTH that I've seen yet! ROTFLMAO! I think that the evicted hg should go back in, but only AFTER watching the footage that has shown on TV and the LFs! That would really shake up Tonya's hooters, and all the other folks, too! <smirk> |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:29 pm     well, if they could only vote on what happened while they were IN the house, there is no reason to sequester them. just have them complete an execution poll in the order of least liked(11)to favorite (1)houseguest. if lori liked gerry best, for example, she could pick gerry now. of course, if your person at the top of the list is gone, they would move down to your second favorite person. and so on....(until your last place person, josh, wins!!!) that way, the guest could go home after leaving the house and filling out their form. and then they can watch all the shows and the live feeds and read our posts and feel as we do and maybe regret who they picked to win when they see how things have changed. Lori's List: favorite at top (example, not sure who she would pick) 1. gerry 2. danielle 3. amy 4. jason 5. marcellas 6. eric 7. lisa 8. roddy 9. tonya 10. chia 11. josh her pick for winner is gerry, until he is gone. then danielle moves into lori's winner choice, etc. |
Curlyq | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:46 pm     Okay, I did a little searching to find out just how long this contest does run, and according to an article in the Dallas Morning News, it is 100 days. This is way longer than necessary to hold only 11 evictions. Then I found an article from July 7 about Arnold Shapiro and these upcoming "twists". He said to expect at least 3. I'm thinking the veto was one, but we haven't really seen anything else yet that would shake up strategies. It seems that since he knows these people are trying to use strategies borrowed from other shows (Survivor alliances, etc.) he and his staff have come up with ways to keep these strategies from working. He wants to keep them on their toes. "'The people coming in have worked it all out and think they have the perfect strategy, and all of them are in for a few surprises,' Shapiro said."

Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:49 pm     it's more like there "are enough 'twists and turns' to keep them out of court and jail for 100 days" to me! remind me if i ever get into legal trouble to try out for BB87! i think it should be "big brother and the holding company" like janis joplin's band, not just big brother! |
Mygetaway | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:57 pm     Why does Julie say, see ya in September? To the evicted HG's? |
Dahli | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:02 pm     LOLOLOL!! Tabby - I thought the same thing last night - could we HAVE any closer longer camera work??? Unbelievable, Julie was stretching it seemed just to keep the camera on Tata longer, this show is getting way too cheeeeezzzzzy Arnold. |
Solitaire30606 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:25 pm     So, they may have the evicted HG's sequestered together, forming alliances and/or revealing the backstabbing. Sounds good to me.. |
Realtvfan | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 04:28 pm     We can confirm that Arnold must have studied the other reality tv shows to get ideas for BB3. The first veto challenge came right out of Survivor. For the timing in BB3, it was way too early for that type of challenge. It might have worked better later in the game, as they did in Survivor 4. The sequestering of the HGs, without telling anyone in TV land, appears to be done to prevent a potential banner from giving it away to the current HGs. This sequestering idea easily could have come from Love Cruise. In Love Cruise, later in the game players had the opportunity to vote someone back into the game twice! |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 04:34 pm     Well, they could make it an "America's choice" vote. After having 3 or 4 voted out, they could put that up on the plasma screen, and just put a camera on each HG face to tape the reactions. |
