Wcv63 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 10:32 pm     Lucas, take a break from the subjects that vex you and just read the strategy threads for a bit. Believe me, it cuts down the frustration and anxiety by 75% at least. I works for me. Last year I allowed myself to get way to emotionally invested in the game. I have promised myself that I would stay much more objective this year. If you want to know how it's working out for me I'd have to say I am 50% successful. |
Spunky | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 10:37 pm     Well, yes, compared to last week's frenzy about Chiara or Roddy going this is pretty lame stuff. I'm no longer cheering for any of them, I just like to watch them destroy one another. As for the winner it will not be for great merit but for the others who had even less merit. So, i just like to bet on who's going to be up and gone. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 10:44 pm     I honestly think Jason's nominations have a lot to do with it. There was a HUGE build up to that event, and a lot of people had very high expectations that Roddy was going on the block that evening. I remember a 600+, and a 300+ post threads growing at a fantastic rate as jason did his interviews with each guest, then did his nominations. This place was ready to absolutely explode the moment the news came in. It was time to right the major wrong committed by Danielle/Amy with the blown votes for the second time. Then....'it'... happened, and a large portion of the board took a giant kick to the gut. The mood around here changed that day. The party was canceled at the 11th hour. Jason was found to have some dirt on him. I think it gets serious again on Thursday. I am looking forward to a pop in the energy here then. |
Ryn | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 10:49 pm     Maris - what would I be suggesting? I am simply saying that some folks no longer have their favorite HG around, Furry has not posted except once since Josh left, and others go away with their fav HG being evicted (I recall someone in BB1 who was a fun poster but a fan of Jordan, she left as soon as she was evicted and never returned). On the other side there are some (not all) people who love to hate the HGs and when Chiara got the boot they lost a bit of wind in their sails, same for Josh. Others have managed to find another HG to vent on however - lol. Personally as someone else said above, I really try just to stick to the strategy & analysis of how CBS edits the show. Thats what I enjoy the most about BB. |
Maris | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 10:52 pm     Just trying to inject a little humor which was actually targetting me Ryn. That is all. nevermind |
Jazzcat | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 10:53 pm     i have been a lurker for 2 years and this year actually started posting. i work nights (PT) and the first thing i do when i get to work, well maybe the second, is get on this tvclubhouse board to see what is happening. i get the live feeds at home, but for some reason my silly computer wont let me access this www site. so i really look forward to see what everyone is sayin'. it is fun to post, but a little scary being a relative beginner. ya know , not wanting to look stupid and all. last night i got a little er 'passionate' on a thread discussing sex discrimination etc. i apologoze to hosewater for my comment about therapy. sorry. i think the posting is fantastic and it makes my night!!!!!!!!!! |
Eden | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:00 pm     Postings don't seem any more vile than last year, to me. If anything more tame. Remember the Krista threads? Shannon, while she was there? Nicole? I don't see things as much different. I love this place and the posters! |
Annitar | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:04 pm     I think the horrible, mean spirited Gerry bashing has turned viewers/posters off bigtime. I know I've just had to turn off the live feed and walk away because it's just too uncomfortable to watch. Seeing that everyone of the HGs can be that horrible has made it hard for people to find one person to root for. So, therefore interest is down. I think that once Gerry is gone, interest will pick back up just because we won't be forced to see these people be so horrible. We'll push it out of our minds and get back into the game. Of course this is JMHO! LOL! I also agree that last week Roddy/Chiara eviction was so intense that there was bound to be serious downtime this week for not only us but for the HGs as well. I had to take a two day break after Jason caved to Roddy and I think other people did too. Hopefully we'll have a great HOH comp tomorrow night and we'll all have something to get excited about again. One last thing... this season has been perhaps more interesting on more levels this year... but man I MISS WILL! Sure, he was a big fat liar but he absolutely killed me with his DR entries! It's been hard to watch this year and not think it's just not the same without someone like Will around. I think Will ruined all future seasons of BB for me! LOL! |
Ryn | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:08 pm     Maris - I didn't catch the humor - my mistake - I look for winks or smileys to let me know when a post that could be taken as serious is actually humorous  |
Maris | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:10 pm     graphics from me?????????? You are talking to the clueless here. It was my mistake, sometimes my humor gets the better of me and only I get the jokes. |
Avalon_Sparks | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:15 pm     I did want to add that maybe some people can't access the board anymore or think it's down. I've been linking from Yahoo by typing "Big Brother Fan Club" in the search engine. The link it pulls up for this site was working fine until about a week ago. Now it's pulling up a site that says it's under construction. I just figured out tonight that the Yahoo link no longer works and the site has been up all along. |
Puck1021 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:20 pm     I have been flat on my back with a 48 hour migraine, feeling better now. The last thing I remember was agreeing with one of Maris's posts...LOL... . This could go into the "you know you watch too much BB when" thread, even with a Migraine, I dragged myself to my computer and tried to read the posts here, I couldn't even turn on a light, but I still tried to read posts.....way to much...LOL.. |
Maris | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:22 pm     That will do it Puck. Guilt can bring on a hell of a migrane. |
Dmarcomb | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:42 pm     Maris, FWIW, I caught your joke.
 |
Puck1021 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:50 pm     Maris I enjoy your posts, I disagree with 99 out of 100...LOL.. , but I think they are.....well thought out, very articulate, and you get your point across, I even caught your joke with Ryan. |
Maris | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:10 am     Thank you very much Puck. That is the best compliment I have received yet. now going back to my corner of the ring. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 06:09 am     personally i haven't posted nearly as much as when survivor was on, mainly because i don't like most of the topics being discussed on the board this season. ps. i read them, just don't comment. |
Rissa | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 06:40 am     SCHOOL IS BACK!! LOL I know that has taken my time this last week, getting supplies, etc. Also, I find that I really don't like this year's group, they are dislikeable AND boring, not a great combination. LOL Besides defending Gerry, there hasn't been much to talk about. It's no fun picking apart the HG"s that have some serious issues, (that old story about picking on someone your own size?) like Amy with her drinking and sad life stories. I like her but it's kinda pathetic. I haven't even found someone to *love to hate* because for me they would have to have some charisma and charm, like Will did last year. Roddy is playing a great game and probably deserves to win but he is doing it by taking advantage of what he knows of the other's personalities. I don't like him but he IS playing the ultimate game. Josh mighta been this year's Will but his grating voice cancelled that out. RFLOL |
Theo17 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 07:03 am     people were let down with the nominations. Nobody cares if amy or gerry go. |
Nessietessie | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 07:24 am     I actually read every live post and every conversation for BB1 & BB2. I was so excited to start again with BB3. For the past few weeks, I have hardly read any of the live feeds, and have not read many of the conversations. The major bashing of Gerry, the way they have ostracized Gerry and Josh have been a major turn off. These houseguests, with the exception of Jason, Gerry, and Roddy have been plain old MEAN. I do not find it enjoyable to read what's going on any more. I started out loving MarcellaSS, but now he has shown his true colors, and he is no longer amusing. If there is a BB4, there should be a mixture of age groups, not just a bunch of young people who are the "in crowd." Look at Survivor, The Amazing Race, and The Mole. There were different age groups, not just one man over or around 50 years of age, like on BB. If there had been a more diversified age group, BB would be more interesting. Those in the "in group" will turn 50+ some day, if they make it that far, and perhaps they will get the same treatment. What goes around, comes around. |
Lucas | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 07:35 am     Wcv63 Thank you Thank you for the good advice! I was going crazy here Lucus |
Twiggyish | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 07:36 am     I think there isn't much going on in the house right now. If one of them did something out of character, then we'd all be here discussing it in detail. Now if Dani or Marc get the HOH, watch this board go crazy! Hosewater, don't you want to see the Gerry bashing HG's get their eventual evictions? Don't worry they'll get theirs in the end. |
Tmleafs4life | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 09:58 am     I think another reason may be that for awhile, a lot of posters haven't been able to access the boards since the server changed. This is the first day I have been able to access the boards! I'm very excited...yay |
Lumbele | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:19 pm     <lumbele ripping at her hair because looooong post didn't take and no back-up, lucky yous . Digest version to follow.> No one HG to *really* "love" (no candidate) or "hate" (too many candidates) this year. HGs' behaviour (except Jason) sleazy, vicious and heartless. "chess Game" between Dani and Roddy somehow fizzled out, was so looking forward to watch that one. Time constraint: Thread titles important, so I can choose the strategy and "something happened" ones first. The rest have to take backseat to time, family and life. Fav threads were Curtisms and Eddieisms. Even Evil Will delivered comic relief. Now first thread I check is 'funny posts'. HGs don't provide good humour this year, at least not the genuine, good-natured kind. LFPs and Mods are volunteers here. Members unhappy with their performance should try to remember that. Help, rather than criticism, is surely welcome. Their contributions are never appreciated and thanked enough. OK, steam blown off, back to work. Thanks for listening. <making copy this time, next attempt might end up in steno. > |
Uhoh | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:29 pm     i'm missing humor this year, i mean rich intelligent humor that's not at the expense of other people. in BB1 there was curtis in BB2 there was will there's no equivalent for me in BB3 - that has been the biggest disappointment. |
Mygetaway | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:36 pm     I was going to post to this last night, but after about 20 drafts, I gave up...LOL For the most part, my particiaption on the BB board this year is about half of the years before. I was REALLY looking forward to it, even upgraded my computer which I couldn't really afford. That did me no good, because I still have 56K connection, so my feeds suck 99% of the time. That's where most of my frustration comes in. I get p'od and give up. I try and read all the posts, but I find the larger threads hard to keep up with sometimes. This year I'm on more pain meds, etc to manage myself, and I can't seem to concentrate as well as before. Staying focused, multi-tasking is very hard. I tried doing live feed posting and just couldn't do it this year. I really enjoyed it before. I don't like the bashing and try to find something else to watch when it starts. Last year, in the beginning when CHILL was born they were awful, but it seemed so different then. I've been at this for 45 days or so, and am just getting tired..LOL. I also have no favorite that I'm rooting for. Even the people I liked in the beginning have done something that makes me not like them anymore.. I don't care who wins, and that is a first. I care more about who I don't want to win, but that's not even the same. Anyway.. I'll shut up now..  |
