TV ClubHouse: Archives: Would you appear on BB4 if given the opportunity?: Archive through August 10, 2002

Given the opportunity to be on BB4, how many of the posters would like to join the 2003 "hamsters?"

NOT ME!

(1) Young and beautiful... NOT! I'm in George's age range, Gerry's body size, and Bunky's hairiness! While I don't think I'm a bad looking person (even been told "distinguished"), I can't even begin to imagine the posts that would be written about me. I'm secure enough to take it, but my family would have a tough time with it. (My family would be flooding the postings and never giving anyone else a chance, and the very elderly woman using the ladder to scale the walls of the BB House in order to slap those who made fun of her son would, of course, be my mother.)

(2) I'm more of an early to bed/early to rise person... and that's not the time schedule most of the HGs seem to be on. How would I ever get to know them or interact with them if our sleeping schedules were so different? Oops, not much of a drinker, either... and cigars with the boys -- don't think so! Does anyone discuss politics, religion, art,... we know they have discussed sex a lot, and ab workouts, and gossip about the others in the house... but does anyone discuss anything of consequence in there? Is it forbidden in the rules?

(3) I've got responsibilities! I don't think my school system would be as lenient as Gerry's about me coming back to school weeks after it has started. (As any teacher will tell you, those first few weeks are critical, and there is so much to do.) How many have jobs that will give you a three month leave of absence? Plus, I could no more settle my affairs and pack and leave for the BB House in 2 hours than I could win an Olmpic Gold Medal in gymnastics! There are mortgage payments to arrange, mail to stop, newspapers to stop, pets to get to relatives (and who wouldn't be thrilled to pet-sit with a geratric dachshund who has bladder control issues?), and a myriad of details to take care of WHILE trying to see what is clean and ready to pack.

(4) The gamesmanship (lying, deceiving, etc.) wouldn't bother me, but the shear boredom would. No books, newspapers, radio, music, TV, films, Internet, or contact with family and friends would be agony. The isolation from any stimulation and having 11 other people in your face 24/7 with no where to go or hide would be hell!

No, not for me! I think I'll pop in for a few minutes, see what going on, then go back to living my rather full life -- without the $500G that most of them won't win either.

Not me!

I don't fancy nude pix of myself on the internet
I don't fancy the stress of figuring out who is lying to me, who I can trust, etc.
I don't fancy going that long without seeing my pets (esp 16 and 14 yr old cats - what if they died while I was away?)
I don't fancy having the luck of getting a hard cot to sleep on at night
I don't fancy risking a pb&j diet for a week (or more)
I don't fancy being bashed by the very people I like on this board. lol

Not for a million tax free dollars! Not worth my sanity or my dignity. Besides privacy and family are priorties in my life and would never expose them or leave them open to criticism of any kind.

I certainly wouldn't do it ... however ...
I would love to see the following in the next one:

Goddessatlaw
Wcv63
Oregonfire
Avery
Bmh
Zachsmom
Earthmother
RyanC2002
AND OF COURSE
Keiffer
....
ummm, who else would you think would be entertaining from these boards??

Draheid, I would really miss some of those posters on the boards! But then I guess I'd be able to hear them be witty in the house.

No way. The complete boredom together with constant strategizing and backstabbing. I couldn't do it. Maybe if it was like BB1 where the final voting wasn't up to anyone in the house because once you are nominated there is nothing else you can do other than to hope for the best.

If I could choose one reality show to be in, that would be The Mole. Even if I didn't get any money, it would just be fun to play.

Mystery: Yeah, I know. But I can hear 'em now....dictating to us what we should be posting!!!! And I think they'd love it too, cuz they wouldn't have to be the ones typing all of this. They could just get into it. Of course, the whole time they'll be laughing because they know about the poor LFP'ers out here trying to type everything they say! LOL

What happened to all the people from this chat who said that they tried out for it? Are any of the 'gang' in the house this year. I know that many of you wanted to be on BB. But it does seem as if the people chosen were not all ones who tried out. Was Jason on chat last year? what was his monicker?
And, no, I would not want to be there, far too old and would be in their faces too much

I certainly would - and I would also love to come here afterwards and read all the flattering comments everyone here had written about me.

No way Jose!!If they wouldn't let Justin stay with a knife then the heat I'd be packin' would set the alams off at the airport!! I don't trust that Ryan kid...lol

Yep, in a minute. I think it would be great to take a 3 month break from life without being in a coma.

Like DFWteddy I too am in the older, less than photogenic category. I think it would be great if BB would put together a mixed cast instead of predominately white 20 somethings.

It's a shame that the producers think all we want to see and hear is sex. In fact, I think they should introduce some stimulants in the house besides cards, chess, hot tubs and booze to create more interesting interactions. One thing I love is how important everything in the house is to these people as if their existence is something extraordinary.

I don't believe they really get 2 hours to depart. How would they get all the releases signed? How could Dani get a line of credit to replace her salary? Maybe a group of finalists get a week or two advance notice to start making plans in case. I know I would in any case if I made it to a certain point in the selection process.

In fact, I think I'm going to apply for next year. What have I got to lose? A 1 in 12 chance of winning $500K

NO WAY! The older I get the more I cherish my privacy and "personal space".

I have always felt the concept of this show oddly revolting in a fascinating way, I feel compelled to watch and wish I didnt at times. My tv is the closest to THAT house I will ever go.

(now ask me if I might consider The Mole and I would tell you....maybe, probably not, but maybe)

Ellenkats: I'm not worried about the nude pics on the internet... has anyone seen any nude photos of Gerry? Does anyone want to see them? I'm confident that I'd fall in the same category of protection -- "who'd want to see him?"

THE TOP 10 REASONS WHY I WILL NEVER BE IN THE BB HOUSE:

10. I'm probably in the wrong age group (40-something).

9. I'm not a narcissistic b*tch.

8. I don't like to spend all day sitting around doing nothing but playing cards, talking about sex, or being "strategical" *and* I don't like to spend all night sitting around doing nothing but playing cars, talking about sex, or being "strategical."

7. I rarely drink alcohol and I don't drink beer.

6. I am an early riser and I like to cook. I am NOT a mom, and would not want to be the "mom" on the show.

5. I won't wear a thong in public (although I may if I can drop the 5 extra pounds and firm things up a bit).

4. I will never ever EVER hook up with anyone in the house under any circumstances, no matter how intellectually or physically desirable he may be.

3. I am not an exhibitionist! (I also prefer to "take care of my 'business'" in private!)

2. I can't leave my "kids" for three months (they are four legged and furry faced kids who meow; if I stress out when I leave 'em while on vacay, however would I manage for three months??).

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHILE I WILL NEVER ENTER THE BB HOUSE:

1. I don't have a "cute" nickname like "Kiki" or "Hottie."

I agree with costacat, except for #8. I like to sit around HERE all night watching you folks talk about sex and strategy! LOL

Darn tootin' I would be! Bring them all on, they've never had anyone even close to my personality on that show. They wouldn't know what hit em'...hehehehehe

Under Draheid's proposal, I predict the show would end with gunplay and subpoenaed dental records within a few short weeks. For starters, Keiff and I would be asked to leave for cause and be met at the front door by county mounties bearing indictments within 24 hours. But it'd make a good 24 hour of viewin'!!! Ryan, well Ryan should enter the premises with a steel cup and is likely to wind up sharkjump very shortly after the first time he smarts off to Earthmother and Avery. Between them Oregon, Zachsmom, WCV and BMH will have to take enough zoloft to put the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a coma just in order to maintain any level of decorum. So they'd wander around the rest of the time doing their best impersonations of Norma Desmond ("I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. Shapiro") and engage in gambling and devil worship, since there's nothing else to do in the house. Basically, the Klingons will have taken over the vessel, and who wants to see that? Besides, I have control issues - my brain damage isn't so severe that I'd ever consider signing control of my life to Arnie. But thanks for thinking of me!!

LOL Goddessatlaw....I know I could count on you to show Draheid the pitfalls of that scenario. I will venture that we would all be pushed up against various cameras begging our TVCH pals to get us the heck out of there pronto!

BB4 would be redifined as a hostage rescue. Ya'll would just have to figure out the order we should be saved.

Ok goddess fess up you already signed your life away to Arnie, that's why you are here..You are already starting that feel sorry for me stuff so people will think you really don't want what you really do want. Trying to make it look like you aren't really lying when I know your are. Blaming the rest of us for spoiling your fun and being the reason you don't want to be there. Am am sooooooo on to you!!

Sheesh- I would never be on any of the reality shows. I'm not into having millions of people critiquing my every move, comment, and action. I love to do it to them, but I wouldn't put myself on the other end of it.

Besides, I probably wouldn't last long. I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut when I want to tell people what I think of them and considering the people they cast, I wouldn't really like anyone in the house probably. I could see myself as being a mix of Lori and Amy in some ways and notice thoise two are both gone!
