Are The Producers Being Fair?
Woodpecke® | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:31 pm     Exactly Annitar. I am convinced that Marcellus is a sick puppy in need of a psychiatrist immediately after his eviction. I do not understand that kind of person. His perception of himself is far different than the one most people have when they witness his personality. |
Sassylady | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:47 pm     WCV63 made a very good point. In order to show the true Marcellas Gerry would be damaged even more. With that in mind I would rather they didn't show the real Marcellas. If Marcellas would have kept his ugly side in check he really could have been a fan favorite. So sad he is so bad.

Wendo | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:47 pm     Ramrod said, "Wendo, were we watching the same show tonight?? <snip>" First of all, I want to point out that in no way was I trying to say that I prefer one HG over the other regarding this thread. At this point, I really have no pick to win, it's just too early. Having said that, yes, I do believe I was watching the same show as you Ramrod. I did see the bias of having Dani as the mother, Marc as the "sweet guy" (we know diff.), and Roddy as the evil shark. No doubt about it. My main question was related to pointing out when a HG lies; specifically, I was referring to the clips of Roddy in the HOH with Jason, telling Jason he trusts him, and has always trusted him. I would've liked to seen some past clips in there of times where Roddy has contradicted these statments, to show that Roddy himself has lied. You see, they've given the appearance that every houseguest has lied, except for Roddy. When, simply, that's just not the case. I don't give a rats a** that he's lied, I'd just like to see it shown. Anyway, jmo. Finally, I was just posing the question to see what others felt, that's all. In no way was this thread meant to be pro one HG or anti another. I just chose Dani and Rod since they were prevelant on the show. Thank you all for your opinions, look forward to reading more. |
Uhoh | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:53 pm     i just hope marcellas finds out how many people are disgusted by his back-room behavior towards gerry. the only value having some of it make the cut is that he'd be forced to see himself as we see him. and i'd also rather gerry see just who the guy is - it reflects badly on marcellas, not gerry, and although initially hurt, i think gerry would recover. this way, marcellas will have tapes and memories only of his other personna. |
Earthkitten | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:28 pm     Do you guys really want Marcellas' bashing of Gerry to make it on to the show? It may show what kind of person that Marcellas is, but what about Gerry & his family's feelings? It is bad enough that they probably see it on the feeds or hear discussions about it on message boards, but for the whole world to actually see or hear it? I think the producers are right not to show it. |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 10:11 pm     Thanks Sassylady. I thought it was a good point too!! |
Mrsniceguy | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 09:15 am     Did anyone notice last night that add the end of the video from home Javier was edited? I think her was telling Danielle to not be concerned about them at home but to the money. There was definately a word or two edited out of his last sentence to her. |
Ptomaine | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 01:36 pm     I am not satisfied with the editing as well, the HOH session between Roddy and Jason was very intense and they edited out some of the more heated exchange. At one point Jason said that he knows that Roddy has an answer for everything. In other portions Roddy attempted to shift focus by saying that Lisa and Dani have been doing some dirt while Chiara-Roddy were on the block. Sometime, I hope that they spend more segments on these key events, rather than segments on Gerry and his handwashing (which should probably be reserved for when nothing much happens in the house). |
Whineandroses | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 01:53 pm     I think the editing manipulates the viewers perception of the houseguests. However, I don't think it is biased toward one player. For example, they manipulate the DR clips for America's Choice that you know exactly who will win. You knew Jason was going to get the letter because they chose a clip of him getting really choked up and the other HGs stating it would be "cool", "nice" or "really great" but not that much emotion. You knew that Dani was going to get this week's AC because she was emotional in the DR. I think they manipulate each week depending on what footage they get. Amy vs. Marci "fight", motional Roddy over Chiari's leaving, etc. If you only have two hours (as eviction night is always light on clips) you take the racy, funny, explosive and/or ugliest clips and try to meld it into a show. |
Allietex | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 04:49 pm     But why did they spend so much time on the gnomes when there was a lot of interesting stuff going on last week? Gnomes!!! Sure a little of it was funny but they wasted way too much time in it. IMHO |
Lola | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 05:08 pm     hmmm, y'all are scared by Marcellus, but it's Roddy that chills me. You KNOW what Marcellus is thinking. Roddy on the other hand reminds me of Ted Bundy: charismatic, charming, able to adapt to anybodys personality and mirror their emotions, highly intelligent and completely emotionally empty. That boy needs an FBI profiler. Marcellus at best could use some counseling. |
