Calgaryperson | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 05:56 pm     I was flipping around the CBS website. Clicked on Big Brother, and a pop-up appeared saying "Think you have what it takes? Try out for Big Brother 4" This is so great! |
Lurknomore | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:03 pm     Ok far be it from me to start any rumors, but why in the world would they start recruiting NOW for a full year from now. Makes no sense. Anyone else think this means that ratings have been good enough (thanks to Arnie's soap opera) that they are testing the waters to see if they can get enough people and do it twice a year? That's my guess. I don't need a life I guess lol. |
Cathie | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:14 pm     That's what I wondered, Lurknomore. I think the apps for BBIII were in the spring this year. Makes me think maybe they read our wishes about a winter BB, hmmm? |
Halfunit | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:16 pm     What I want to know is: Is anyone here at TVCH going to fill out the application? I think I might just to see if I get called.... |
Closetfan | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:19 pm     Oh, nooooooooooooooooooo!!! I couldn't take that! I need to sleep, work, talk to PEOPLE...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! |
Wendo | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:19 pm     HeII no! I wouldn't do BB for all the money in Fort Knox. No way. I couldn't take the pressure, the isolation, the lack of computer, etc., etc. I'm a BB watcher, not a contestant. |
Cameltoes | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:21 pm     I would love a winter BB but maybe they just want a longer application process since this time around they went down to the wire and had to do last minute casting calls. |
Lucas | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:21 pm     I could NOT handle what YOU all would say about me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) |
Wendo | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:24 pm     Oops, double post. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:24 pm     I went to the website to see if there were any clues to when it would be: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother4/index.shtml If you click on the link for "Faq", you'll notice that they still have the faqs for applying for BB3: "4. How will I know if I have made it to the next round? We will notify all contestants who will be invited to the semi-finalist interviews in May or June 2002. These interviews will be conducted in approximately twelve locations nationwide and you will be responsible for any travel expenses that you incur. TYPICAL!!! |
Shayneele | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:25 pm     I would love to sign my husband up.. I could use the 2+ month break. He is always saying he could win that game easily. I would love to watch him squirm. |
Halfunit | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:28 pm     LOL, I could do it (except the part about missing work - but I hate that job anyhow...). Think about it - how FUN would it be to have one of us on the inside, talking to the cameras and saying hi to everyone on the live feeds....lol. If by some miracle I were ever to get chosen, I hereby promise to wear TVCH t-shirts everyday I was in the house...... heh heh |
Jasonfan | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:29 pm     I imagine they are advertising now b/c it's the last time they'll have a "captive audience" of BB fans. I would hope they want at least some of the HGs to be fans of the show. Would this show survive during the regular season? I think it has good ratings b/c it's original TV during the summer months. |
Closetfan | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:30 pm     Hilarious, Shay!! :-) Go idea for a new show!!! Significant Other BB....Surprise BB...Involuntary BB?? |
Spygirl | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:31 pm     Putter -- did it say "2002"??? Because if so, that is from this past application. |
Gidget | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:33 pm     Me! Me! Me! I want one. Definitely doing the ap this weekend. |
Lurknomore | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:33 pm     Ok I have a question...not that I mind or anything but I am real curious. How did a post get above mine in a thread I started??? I've seen posts mysteriously add above where I've stopped reading, but this is weird! |
Mygetaway | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:38 pm     Lurk.. Maybe a MOd combined 2 threads and yours had a better title?? |
Katlady53 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:38 pm     Could not do it! For one thing, ya'll would not want to see me walking around in a bathing suit. You think Gerry looked bad?! And I'm afraid I'd scare way too many people during those bathroom sink close-ups. The only good thing would be that I'm sure none of the other HG's would want to hang around the shower while I was bathing. |
Countrymeadow | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:41 pm     I would never in a million years do anything like this. For any reason at all. I mean all I can see is the posts that will occur when I walk out of the toilet area with 4 feet of tp stuck to my shoes. Oh my.....the humiliation... LOL!!!! |
Pulk | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:45 pm     Survivor has had 2 seasons over the past year as has the Amazing Race. Why not Big Brother? Xmas BB would be cool. I would say February/March is more realistic then a late start for BB5 perhaps for Fall '03. |
Halfunit | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:46 pm     Oh the entertainment!!!! o/t - Country - did you get my order? |
Tracic67 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 08:16 pm     I already printed my application. I am ready to get it awwwwnnnnn! |
Spygirl | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:36 pm     <SpyGirl goes out looking for a really sharp stick> |
Avrey258 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:47 pm     I am itching to apply to BB4. Unfortunately, I probably don't have a chance. I am 39, and they pick very few older women. I would love to ask a few tvclubhouse members if they think I have a chance but I don't want to impose my stats on anyone. |
