Didn't BB1 have to allot grocery money for things like toilet paper? My brain is mush today, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! But I seem to remember them running out of toilet paper or being in danger of doing so. And the banner's were great for BB1 (not as great in BB2), the HG's were the first and had no idea what was going to happen next, the banner's really played with their heads.

Draco, thanks for the remind of chicken George. In hindsight, he really made that show. LOL The commercials, money in the garden, the failed coupe.. priceless.

Don't forget that in BB1 the houseguests were allowed to follow the evicted HG out of the house to the steps of the doorstep - there would be a crowd of people waiting and cheering. I remember that because there were comments made in the house how the crowd was getting bigger as the game went on.

Oh - let's not forget that in the first BB some of the HG's were afraid to shower because of the cams - didn't someone used to throw a towel over the top of the shower and or change in the shower?

Most of the labrats in BB1 showered in their swim suits.

In BB1, they were responsible for managing the everyday needs of the house - groceries, paper products, etc....just like in real life. If they ran out of something, they either had to use whatever money they had left to buy it, or wait until the next week's money came in and take it out of there.

I wonder if someone archived this thread and sent it to ASP if they would take any notice of it? Oh wait!...what am I thinking? I forgot...Arnie doesn't like us. smiley

Wasn't there a juggling competition in BB1 and they tried to keep one of the balls and got penalized? There was some competition where they tried to keep something and got into trouble. Does this cast EVER get into trouble? Except for singing they can pretty much get away with everything.

Remember when one of the contests in BB1 was in training Peguta to do tricks in the back yard? Not only was it a cute competition, but it kept them busy during the week.

I think everyone of you has reminded me of something I miss from BB1. The dance comp...the toilet paper deal, the chickens...I guess just the whole game in general. Seems to me that the more they pick out contestants that are trying to break into acting, modeling or whatever, the more the game is played "for" them. If they think that we want eyecandy, I myself think they are wrong, I enjoy the game aspect. I miss the old BB game.

Remember Eddie's massage from the "mystery masseuse"? Wouldn't you like to see Chiara come back and give Amy a massage?

I enjoyed watching the BB1 houseguests interact with each other and seeing how their relationships changed and evolved. This year it's 98% about strategy; the plotting is fun but it doesn't hold my attention as well. It's damn near impossible to analyze and predict because everything changes so quickly.

That's what was great about BB1 because there was no need for plotting or alliances or deals. I guess there was a small part because they all nominated 2 people then we all voted. Bringing back the audience voting would be the best thing for BB. Afterall, without us the viewers, there would be no BB at all. I get enough with the alliances with Survivor. I preferred to watch BB and not get a headache over who was watching whos back that week.

Hey, I forgot, how did Curtis win that trip out of the house to that awards ceremony? How cool was that?????

Oh, and btw, as much as I LOVED that BB, and felt that it had something to it that no other could repeat, I must say that they are getting us more and more hooked with each season. There was too much "niceness" too it. I think that is why they keep changing it. Us regulars will be here no matter what (the losers that we are lol) but for them to get a bigger audience, they keep changing it the way they do. Making it lose it's Brittany-ness, it's Chicken-George-ness, it's Curtis-ness, etc. =0(

IMHO

They had to hunt for the ticket to the Emmys and Curtis found it in the DR.

I miss many of the things you all miss but I do like the addition of the HOH concept. Much as I liked having a vote there was no way to control vote buying. Maybe it would work if we could all call in and comprise one vote of the total with our choice.

Or let the HOH nominate and we vote to evict.

They let these people sleep far too late! On BB1 after they had a couple of weeks of late nights and partying, BB enforced a strict wake-up call. Now it's almost noon and the BB3 HGs are still zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Uhoh

i miss being able to watch unedited live feeds - there was very little FOTH in BB1. we got to watch the live shows live, see them during commericals, see competitions and how they'd screw up.

remember the roast they were supposed to have that they hated because they didn't want to slam each other and tried their best to sabotage it. we saw it all live, but the TV show made it completely different from how it really was.

now, we don't get to see that.

It seemed to me in BB1 they couldn't talk in individual groups...or was that just in groups of two...definitely no ooportunity for conspiracy making....also they had to bake their own bread...remember George's Butt-bread.

My favorite contest was when they had to find Pugita and went outside to dozens of little pugs running around (I think Pugita was in the storage room)...I laughed so hard I fell off my chair.

and for anyone else who would like to get a former HG perspective on the show.

I still love Sloshie!!

and...yeah...where is EDDIE??? I would really enjoy his take on the current show, he was always very honest and funny.

And there was even a three-legged pug! I love this thread....so many good memories coming back.

*sigh* Guess you really can't go home again. :(

I have to agree that audience voting leaves way to much room for stuffing the ballot box. I said during the show that if they wanted to stir up more controversy that that should make the HGs vote for the eviction. However....it might be a nice twist to let the audience make the two nominations and then let the HGs vote. I think that would make them much more aware of the audience.

I miss Eddie yelling "Haters!!" That was always funny.

Remember when Josh and Brittany were afraid to kiss. Mostly because of all the cameras. Now the HG have no problem with kissing. They are practically having sex.

My favorite memory of BB1 (and I still have it on tape from the tv show) is the drunken dance Sloshie did for Eddie and Curtis...to the OLD theme of BB1 (in German!)

Plus they were all so drunk they dyed Josh's hair BLUE..(no gloves!)... he even made the comment: "Brit will really dig me, now" in this slurry drunken voice...then he proceeded to run around the house like a 'pixie' (Eddie's word!) planting blue hair dye all over the house with his hands!

Dixiebelle31: FWIW - Big Brother US is about the only version of the show that HASN'T had HG's having sex! ... some are far worse than others...

Here were the placings for anyone who either forgets or never saw. ::fondly remembers::

01 - Eddie
02 - Josh
03 - Curtis
04 - Jamie
05 - George
06 - Cassandra
07 - Brittany
08 - Karen
09 - Jordan
10 - Mega

Most of these people were so nice and funny and classy... Definately my favorite cast.. I always felt like I was watching friends rather than strangers with them. They were people I would have liked to have known.

BB needs to liven things up. Do something to them that will really shake them up. And do it soon.
