Dixiebelle31 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 07:46 am     Remember when the HG had to take money from their food allotment to pay a vet because their chicken hurt its eye and they had to pay a vet because Pugita ate some of the blue hair dye? Remember when they had no hottub. When the shower water was only hot for a limited time. When they had no clothes dryer. When they all had to sleep on bunkbeds in 2 rooms. |
Cablejockey | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 07:49 am     I wish more former hgs from bb1 would be asked their opinion of this years show. I know josh souza has his web site and comments about this years show, but havent heard from eddie or george and that would be interesting!!! |
Countrymeadow | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 08:03 am     Didn't they take Jamie's eyeliner pencil in BB1 because they were afraid she'd write something down? Also, didn't BB find a scrap of paper in one of the bedrooms and they got in trouble for it? Also, they've had much more exposure to the outside world than BB1 did. I can't imagine what BB4 will be like < if there is one >. |
Dixiebelle31 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 08:05 am     Ooh remember when they got in trouble for pointing out words in (I think it was the bible) because they were trying to show who they would vote for? BB made them tell what they were pointing too. And remember they had to maintain a vegetable garden. These past 2 seasons have had it too easy. |
Junifer | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 08:08 am     I KNOW!!! I LOVE EDDIE AND WANT FUNNY EDDIE COMMENTS ON THESE PEOPLE! Well, I just finished reading the funniest quote from Kent (BB2) and it seriously made me lol HARD!!! He makes fun of the houseguests and the new situations given on his web page (although I saw this on realitynewsonline.com) as well. Anyway, here you guys go, have a laugh: Unlike Lisa, Chiara is a very intelligent and insightful person. She said, "Lisa is a girl, I'm a girl. Eric is not a girl, he's a guy." Wow, you can't get a thing past this gal. She's sharp as a tack. I'm waiting for her to announce soon that the "sky is blue". |
Twinkle | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:08 am     This year there's a vacuum cleaner. BB1 hgs had to use a broom. Did they have the iron and ironing board? In place of the garden and chickens they have the hot tub. And the basketball court. During BB1 the furniture was so cheap it fell apart. There was no plasma screen. A TV was wheeled out if the hgs were supposed to watch something. I was surprised to see that the HOH can share his/her music and that using the *snap* code was allowed. During BB1 the hgs were scolded for using too much profanity because it couldn't be shown on the TV show. Now it's bleeped. I miss the week-long challenges. Remember when Eddie rode the bike all night and then his miles were declared to be invalid? I also liked the masks hanging on the wall and was disappointed last year when that was done away with. *I think Dani mentioned that her eyeliner pencil was confiscated. |
Duncan | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:22 am     I liked that they only had two hours of hot water each morning. Maybe the idea of taking cold showers would convince this year's labrats to get their behinds out of bed and get busy. I also liked the week-long challenges they had in BB1. It gave them something to do other than sit around and admire themselves. I really liked the Domino setup because of the ever-present thought that one good bump to that table would trash several days work. I think that would be a much better way for ASP to conduct the food challenges: "You have one week to complete this challenge properly. If it is not done completely, the entire house will lose their food for the week." I think the reason for the plasma screen's appearance in BB2 was a result of Curtis ( I think it was Curtis ) meeting Julie Chen and asking her who she was. LOL. That was so classic. I think they should go back to the bunk-bed deal as well. IMHO - They really should have challenged this year's labrats more. The way this is set up now, it is more like a well-paid vacation for them. |
Jagger | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:28 am     Yes I miss the way the hgs were treated in BB1, they had to earn everything. This year they are being treated like kings and queens, they loose half their food, so what happens, they get half of what they got when they had a house full of people, well they only have half as many people, they don't need as much food. This year they don't even challenge the hgs brain cells, all they want them to do is lay out by the pool,( can you say boring) where are the challenges like the map and the rode trips they needed to map out in bb1. They need to combine all three bb to make the forth, if there will be one. I am getting really bored with this one, the tv show part of it is good, but the live feeds are getting boring. |
Defleppardgirl | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:38 am     I loved the dance-athon! I loved it when BB would call all dance in the wee hours of the morning and everyone would have to jump out of bed and run out to the dance floor. It was so funny watching all of the HGs out there trying to dance while half asleep. Does anyone remember that weird rap song that they played? Curtis always made fun of it. |
Draco | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:39 am     Defleppardgirl - LOL! I forgot all about that dance-athon. Too funny! They were a fun group but definitely had it rougher than this cast. |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:45 am     I miss the challenges that forced them all to work together for the good of the house. I think the competitions given this year are way too easy. I also miss the "What If..." book (or whatever it was called). Some interesting answers came from them sitting around answering questions from that book. I think these hgs are allowed to spend way too much time doing nothing. I miss the relaxed producers from BB1. Many, many times we got to hear them talk to the hgs. Now, they always go to FOTH. I think these hgs are way more protected than those from BB's past. |
Jaxrock | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:47 am     I love this thread, especially since I totally missed BB1. (I think I might have had a life then.) It does seem like a paid vacation in the house compared to the first season. I mean, the whole premise is to be cut off from all contact from the outside world, right? And they've got letters, videos, Sheryl Crow. Last year, didn't someone get in trouble about talking to the people behind the walls? And the competitions aren't really much competition are they? BTW, what is Josh Souza's site? |
Bandit | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:49 am     And speaking of dancing-the funniest moment ever--Curtis' Trinitron dance! "32 inches, stereo..." |
Defleppardgirl | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:55 am     My favorite BB moment of all time is when it was just the three guys left in BB1 and they were all standing on/around the chicken coop trying to look over the wall. I love those guys! Back then, the wildfeeds were fun to watch. We got to see a whole heck of a lot more, and the HGs didn't sleep all the day (well, except for maybe Eddie). They actually had things to do. I so totally wish they would bring back the week long competitions. |
Cajunrambler | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:55 am     I remember on BB1 that they had to cut the grass with an old fashion lawn mower. I haven't seen the labrats do any of that this year. |
Draco | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:56 am     LOVED the Trinitron dance. I still have a mpeg file of it on my PC! I even loved their little "french" voices.  |
Annavenis | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:03 am     Remember when they ran out of toilet paper because they forgot to "buy" it and fans of the show were hurling rolls over the wall? |
Mags | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:06 am     I agree with all the comments here..the HGs from BB1 were much more entertaining IMHO. I miss them! Speaking of BB1...does anyone have the episodes on video? I am interested in obtaining a set. Send me an email if you know of anyone who has them (my email is in my profile). |
Momiee43 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:10 am     Don't forget the 5am BBQs, the domimos, the road trip, and dead or alive. BB1 was a blast. The feeds were free and BB didn't go to the FOTH every few minutes, oh yea the had the chicken cam back then. |
Draco | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:12 am     Remember "Chicken" George trying to dig up the garden thinking there was money hidden there!?! Or his "blast off" in the shower... |
Romans8_1 | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:16 am     In BB1, I remember who the final 2 where, who was #3? |
Duncan | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:16 am     Someone mentioned in another thread about the clock changing saboteur in BB1. LOL. I liked that challenge alot. And remember the potato clock? By the end of the show, those spuds were looking pretty nasty. |
Espen | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:17 am     Heh, I even had a dream last night that they were going to make these houseguests do a weeklong bicycle competition, except they had somehow set up 7 bikes.. Not sure how it was going to work logistically, but I did know I was looking forward to it! Oh well, we always have the memories of that first, uniquely different season.. It is sad that BB is so intent to pretend it didn't exist, since I'm sure there is still a 90% overlap of fans from then to now.. |
Bandit | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:21 am     Romans-it was Curtis. |
Lola | Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:22 am     Don't forget that in BB3 the Survivors came for a visit. That kind of violated the no contact rule as well. |
