The twist ticks me off!
Pesto | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 11:43 am     I really think the twist is UNFAIR to those who remain in the house and is a cheap and shameful attempt by the producers to go for greater TV ratings. I mean is that really the bottom line here?? I refuse to watch this sham anymore... Who wants to see the HGs sitting calmly in the hot tub and then hear an ear-piercing door bell ring..Josh trips desparately trying to get to the front door and in walks... AMY = Mars faints, Chi plants nails into Rod's thigh, Gerry gets more ice cream ERIC = Lisa faints, Rod plants nails into Kiara's thigh, Dani's head explodes, and Gerry gets more ice cream. TONYA = Dani faints, Gerry plants head in Chi Chi's, Rod's head explodes. LORI = Everyone faints except Josh who says "please don't nominate me!" I refuse to watch!! Anybody got an extra VCR tape? |
Andysmojo | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 12:30 pm     Just my but when was this game ever fair? When the game begins and HG's first meet they immediately start judging each other on whether they are....attractive or not, young or old, M/F, stinky, etc. If enough of the other HG's think someone doesn't fit into their "mold" they will nominate that player for eviction before the game truely begins. There is no "fairness" to this game. The game is really about watching the hamsters squirm, strategize, change alliances, and lie to one another. This Twist just makes it alot less predictable, more interesting for us to watch, and gives CBS their good ratings. Most of these HG's know they aren't going to win anyway, they are mainly there for the "exposure". |
Wcv63 | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 12:31 pm     The houseguests now know about the twist. They played the tape for them showing Amy, Lori and Tonya on vacation. They all said, "THAT's why our budget has been so small!" |
Cinder | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 02:36 pm     How funny they got to see the tapes. I jsut heard Josh complaining about it and how its not fair they got a vacation. |
Cathie | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 02:43 pm     Yet, if he had been given a choice of leaving first to get a 4 week vacation or staying in the house with a chance at the 500k I think he would have been very happy to stay in the house...even though they are getting another chance at the 500k it is very doubtful the returning HG will last long. |
Wcv63 | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 02:46 pm     Inkydinky this is one long game of Calvinball. As I recall Hobbes never could figure it out either. |
Spunky | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 03:06 pm     Do the hgs now know they're coming back????? How did they take the news?? |
Bohawkins | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 03:51 pm     I don't like the twist, however, since it is being done, I would like to see a competition worth watching. Perhaps, they could take a clue from the Fear Factor show. I like the three phase aspect to their face offs. Some of the Fear Factor competitions have really shown what people are made of, and sometimes the person you least expect will win (but, you really respect them for having been truly the best). Just when you think the atheletic person has it, you get fooled, because the event really required more nerve and brains than athletic skills. I am impressed by the Fear Factor eat-something-horrible contests as well, because they distinguish those with some real "mind over matter" mettle. Big brother competitions remind me of birthday party games for five year olds. I hope they can get some people to watch Fear Factor and steal (be influenced by) some of their better stuff. |
Inkydinkyspider | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 03:55 pm     Amy will eat anything if it is dipped in melted cheese first! lol |
Woodpecke® | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:29 pm     This twist is a lot like the 8-8 team that clinches the Wild Card position in the NFL playoffs. Mediocre players making the playoffs with a chance to win $500,000. They are basically the road team when they come back in the house, and whoever returns will probably be eliminated at the first opportunity. No chance of winning the big money; only a second eviction. This idea sucks. |
Carter | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:46 pm     in my ESTEEMED opinion the new twist really SUCKS. these people had their chance and screwed up. they dont deserve the exposure ( well maybe tonyas tits do) its not fair to the people still in the house. oh well i think they will be nominated out again asap. its just a cheap trick on the part of the show, although it IS their show and they can do what they want BUT IT STILL SMELLS worse than any cheese that amy could dream up . |
Pirate | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 05:03 pm     It sucks, but I guess it will make for some interesting manuvers in the house. I would rather see Lori or Amy come back in just to stir things up a bit. They probably would be voted out ASAP though. Tonya has nothing going for her, she's a dud personality wise. She thinks big boobs make her sexy. She is so superficial. I hope Eric stays out of the house. I was tired of the Eric & Lisa show. Oh well, guess we'll see which camp schmoozes the best to try to get the former HG on their side. |
Bmh | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 05:08 pm     Josh is just a big baby..all he does is complain..this isn't fair..they got a vacation I didn't I had to work hard they didn't wa wa wa..suck it up and play the game..Im so tired of Josh..thank god this is most likely his last week here |
Woodpecke® | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:15 pm     Now is the time for all smart players to band together and eliminate Mr. Smarmy (Roddy). |
