I had a couple of harsh posts towards Kent last year, and do feel bad for that. Sometimes it's better to say nothing if you can't be nice. (He was not one of my favorites so I was not easily swayed.)

Ya water under bridge now Oregon - I'm sure Kent's over it all by now :)

I just thought of something - you know how Jason explained IN detail last night to them how we all figure out everything about competitions and stuff from the convo's after the FOTH is done?

I wonder if someone has time they could check the arechives on some of the competition days and see if Jason gave us the info - you know mentions who won what or what have you shortly after any of the comps...would be cool if he's been clueing us in since he KNOWS that's what we do here lol. I mean we'd find out no matter what but in some cases last year it took us some time to figure it out this year I don't remember having to wait any time to find out who won what comp and if a veto user used veto and stuff......ya know>

Regarding the "we" vs. "they" aspect, I'm thinking that he was probably just a lurker like Ryn suggested. Last year I spent all summer lurking at this site, but I never joined. To me you were all "they". I would tell people about how "they" post transcripts of the live feeds. I would've never said "we" because I was just a visiting spectator, not an active participant. So maybe Jason was doing the same thing.

Also, no matter how many other sites put up live feed posts, any avid Big Brother fan would've found his way to this site. So I'm sure Jason has been here. And once you get here it's hard to go back to the others. Not trying to kiss up to anyone, but just stating fact.

This afternoon, Jason was outside and started explaining how people in the "chat sites on the web" would report the LFs. "One person transcribing LF1, another LF2, and" .... cam switch to all inside views.

Since only LF viewers would ever see this convo, why did the ASP lackeys censor it? I would guess the ppl viewing LFs are pretty aware of sites like TVCH and Jokers already.

Gritss -

It seems like BB likes to avoid discussions about aspects of BB that involve anyone other then the houseguests. They broadcast conversations about friends and family that don't impact the game, but they seem to avoid conversations about what happens in the DR, banners and those "internet freaks".

I think BB would like to pretend that the houseguests are unaware of these aspects and are behaving as they would if they were not on display 24 hours a day.

I also think this is the reason they don't broadcast the practices for the competitions and the live shows, most of the detailed announcements made by BB to the houseguests and the DR visits themselves. If they broadcast those things, it would ruin the "illusion" that this is "reality." It would not be "12 people in a house", it would be "12 people, being manipulated by Arnold Shipiro and a staff of hundreds, in a house.

I wish they would realize that letting us see more would just make it better, not ruin it. I, at least, would love to see EVERYTHING.

I have an easy answer to the "they" vs. "we" debate. Since Jason would not be actively posting or partipating in any of the online internet BB communities this time it is definitely a "they" situation. If you're not involved at the time of the discussion it is "they".

For example if you're talking about things currently happening with a former employer you would be talking about what "they" are doing to run the company down. Now when I was working there "we" never would have done that.

That's why Jason's has such a smart strategy....he learned it all right here!! (What to say, what not to say, how to dodge the question).

I think he also learned, pick one true alliance partner and stick with it - but don't let it be known to the others.

Wcv - lol ya know what? That's sometimes a problem... like um when I worked for McD's for a few years then went to Wendy's - it was tough to try and say "they" etc... like I'd say well "We don't take credit cards at McD's" - ya know what I mean? LOL :) I suppose once you distance yourself from a group long enough you'd say 'they and so on... but I still after what 20 years refer to our class as "we" and "us" not "them" :) LOL

Like I'd say "We loved bell bottom jeans" not "They loved bell bottom jeans"

I guess this is all just symantics eh? Or just different styles for different people - :)

Anyhow I don't really get to excited about symantics especially in a 'national' forum where it differs so greatly...

This is more then symantics thoug hif you heard his convo .. he was clearly one of us - lol I'm curious as to why he's kept that so quiet and why he's revealing parts of it now..etc :)

If you were in the house next year would you refer to us as "they" :) In other words would you say "THEY watch and keep tabs on everything in the house" or would you say "WE watch and keep tabs on everything in the house" (I like being a part of a group so for me definately it'd be the later for me! LOL :)

I don't know Whit. I think I'd say "they" in that I wouldn't be actively participating in all the fun.

My thinking is when you're isolated in the BB house, even your family and friends back home become 'thems' -- it must seem like another lifetime (or someone else's life altogether).
