Archive through August 28, 2002
Jimmer | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:59 pm     I don't recall anywhere near as much bashing in previous BBs? All the houseguests liked each other in BB1 (except for Will and Jordan) and I don't recall this level of bashing in BB2. Granted, Nicole bashed Will all the time but I think he actually enjoyed it. There was no mention of sexual harassment. |
Bidasea | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:01 pm     I'm not sure if it is just age related, cultural, or just which part of the country you live in..The things that come out of these houseguests mouths are appalling to me. I'm just not used to hearing, or participating in those kinds of conversations.Maybe Big Cities like New York are just very different than my small city. or maybe it just cause I'm old, but some subjects are not for mixed company. Sex teasing among the girls is one thing, but to make the guys cringe with embarrassment is another. Gerry is probably the guy who would send them to the principals office in real life. He has to be a captive audience for their "I've done this" sessions, but if he seems to go along with it at all, he's considered a pervert..go figure |
Starshadow | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:01 pm     I have been lurking since BB1 in here and I never felt the need to voice my opinion until now. All of this will come out in the wash. Do you think Gerry will consider voting for any of these crude young people in the end? I see Roddy and Jason keeping quiet and not bashing. As my Mama always said "What goes around comes around." I am 44 and have a 17 year old daughter who is outraged by the HGs behaviour. Playing a game is one thing but this goes beyond that. These are personal attacks and I find it nasty and childish. I am not a Gerry fan, and never have been, but this really makes me reconsider who I would like to see win. And seeing as I am from Alabama I say GO JASON!! Oh and btw Hi everyone! |
Kaytee | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:02 pm     OMG Tabbyking! I just finished this w h o l e depressing thread and then got to that! ROFL, thanks |
Draheid | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:05 pm     Time for some weather intervention!!!
       Beware the tides of Marsh |
Wavelength | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:06 pm     Jimmer I think they bashed Ken quite a bit on BB2 if I remember right. They just found other things to hate about him. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:06 pm     hi, star! and bidasea, i lived in nyc, boston, montreal, san francisco, and san jose... i now live in a small town in the valley...and no matter where i lived, i didn't hear people talk the trash some of the HG's talk! they just got a bumper crop of potty-mouths and rude people this time around. there isn't enough soap in that house to wash their mouths out as much as most of them have needed it! |
Hosewater | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:07 pm     I have never been a huge fan of Gerry. I have never admired him or loved him or supported everything he has said and done on the show. However, like most elections, I found myself choosing the lesser of evils. In the case of Big Brother, it was the lesser of 12 evils. Anyone on this board who claims that these 12 people in that house are representative of our society as a whole is not living in the real world. Not a single one of this year's houseguests can be described as an average American. I think the reason we are watching these folks is that there is some part of each of them that is exaggerated and out-of-sync with society. Ya know, like cartoon characters or super heroes. After several episodes of the show this summer, I came to believe, and still do believe, that Gerry is the LEAST demented, the LEAST abnormal, the LEAST non-representative of our culture and society. Shapiro and his staff have found a formula, and you can expect to find even stranger, more unpleasant, whackos on next years' show. |
Lucas | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:08 pm     Jimmer, maybe I should send you some tapes to 'jog' your memory...Autum, Shannon, WIll, Boggie...others...they BASHED like CRAZY!!!! It is just last year...we forget, but to me, almost worse than this year |
Uhoh | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:12 pm     i'm also bothered by the comment that gerry as a 51 yr old (how ancient!) should interact differently with the others than they interact among themselves. that's a staggering, and disturbing, comment. i'll even call it creepy. all i'm left to hope is that it's actually not about age, but about the poster just not liking gerry and attaching age to the argument. but then, there's always that chicken/egg question. |
Cajunrambler | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:12 pm     Just think of the example Dani is setting for her daughters, trashing people like Gerry. Also even in taking part of the conversations with the others who are doing it. Maybe someday her children will trash her because that is what they learned from her. |
Loppes | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:13 pm     Hosewater, You applied? (j/k) Lon |
Classycassfan | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:14 pm     Welcome Star... this is a great board.... Thanks Tabby... Let me just say I was stupid at 17 but my daughter has brought more joy to my life even if it was not the best of situtations. And her daughter has brought even more light to our lives... Grandma is a fun job.... I spoil them rotten and send them home!!! |
Jimmer | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:15 pm     Lucas, I know what you’re saying and sometimes we do forget. Maybe it just seems worse to me this year because one individual has been singled out by most of the other people. |
Hosewater | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:18 pm     I couldn't apply to BB3, as had already been accepted to Survivor 5. I'm the good looking guy on the beach. Starts in a few weeks. Root for me! |
Starshadow | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:21 pm     Hosewater..... Yeah..... the revenge the of "superbashers" lol. But I do agree Gerry is the least of the demented beings. And who knows what next years crop of sickos will bring? And ya know what? I will be the first to admit I will be watching BB4. Sheesh.. I must be as sick as they are LOL |
Earthmother | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:22 pm     ohhh the porn star, Hosewater? lol |
Loppes | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:22 pm     Hosewater, Why would I want to root for another guy? I'm going for the women, now you keep your hands off them! Lon |
Wendo | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:23 pm     Lucas said, "Gerry is not really being treated any differntly than anyone else." I'm sorry, the guy has been called a sexual harasser and a pedophile. IMO, that's far worse than any HG has ever been called; in all three seasons of BB. |
Hosewater | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:23 pm     I'm gonna throw my TV out the window. then I can watch it on the patio! |
Hosewater | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:24 pm     Is there truly anything worse than a pedophile? I'd rather be called a serial axe killer than be called a pedophile. |
Gbr | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:27 pm     This might be a reason why Shapiro is editing the way he is: I'm from England even though I live here in the US I do get a lot of gossip from home, BB being some of it. This is from my brother so I totally trust the source: Apparently the talk in the UK is that BB USA is really tame and boring (in the past) and they are always comparing BB UK to BB USA, so I guess the gossip got back to Shapiro and he spiced things up by putting a load of white and black bad-mouthed trash in the house this year minus Gerry, Lori and maybe Jason. My brother was always asking me how I could stand to watch BB as it was so boring and that nothing really happens. In the UK show, one of the guys was so hated that he had to go into hiding for a while until the whole country could calm down. This year they are portraying a girl in the house as really stupid/thick, it's been pretty bad apprarently with both of these cases making the national news etc....They also have much more in the way of challenging games etc... They also had a poor side of the house and a rich side of the house (use your imagination) which would cause alliances to break and a lot of hostility, So far I think BB UK is still outdoing the show here but I wouldn't put it past Shapiro to cause more problems with his editing etc...I may be a little bit biased but us Brits aren't anywhere near as prudish, reserved or stanoffish as people here in the US think, which is why we make a great TV Reality show. BTW we do have the stiff upper lip thing that you also talk about, I'll be holding onto to mine while I get flamed for posting my bias and for being a little Ethno-centric. |
Loppes | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:31 pm     I'm feeling a bit sorry for Gerry right now. I saw him earlier lying all by himself. It would be nice if the HGs went and talked with him, instead of isolating him. Lon |
Cajunrambler | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:35 pm     Maybe Marci could do like Chiara and have a pretend love fest for Gerry. They could all lie through their teeth and tell him how much they love and appreciate him. I didn't think so! Gerry would see through their facade. |
Earthmother | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:36 pm     The girls can't Lon, they are too scared.....I'd be more scared of each other if I were them. |
