I was just reading the live feeds for the day, and it would seem like Marcellas spend most of the day cleaning and polishing. Now, at 10:42 pm at night, he is vacumming.

So, has he spent all day cleaning????

Eden, are you by chance using AOL? I've had the same problem for a few days, so I'm using IE instead.

Question for the long time members: I have watched BB since the first season, however, this is the first year I found this site (you guys are great!! :) ). I am interested in knowing if the HG's in prior season were as mean spirited toward one another as these folks seem to be. Can anybody tell me? Oh yeah, one other thing - how do you set up a folder (I am thinking you just start a new conversation but would feel silly if I ended up in general discussion with a new thread about Nimtu's folder lol! Thanks in advance!

Hi Nimtu. Welcome. I love this board too! The BB1 contestants were VERY different. Check out this thread to get a sense of what they were like:

Thanks Draco, that brought back fond memories. I guess what I really want to know is how different were the HG's in the other two seasons than they were portrayed on the show. I am amazed at how incredible the editing is as opposed to what is really happening.

Nimtu, the editing is SO much better this year. Last year ASP seemed bound and determined to keep everyone firmly in the role they assigned at the beginning of the show and the feeds and edited show were miles apart in terms of reality.

This year the distance between reality and the edited show is more realistic.

P.S. You are quite correct about how to make your folder in the Member's section.

Who is in charge in that house? The HG's act like they are in charge. Never going to sleep. Didn't Jas tell them that BB wanted them to go to bed early? Such a bunch of arrogant people. Shake them up BB!!!

I was reading on one of the threads something about Gerry and him believing he would be a celebrity after BB3, there was also discussion of the HG with agents, last years Nicole with agent, etc. Most people seem to feel that the majority of the hg aquired agents before coming to the house in anticipation of future celebrity status as a result of the BB3 exposure. I was of the impression that these people were working or aspiring actors and models with agents before being selected for this show....anyone shed any light in this area?

Kellirippa: As far as I know, the only ones with agents are Marcellas because of his modeling and Roddy because of his script writing. In my oppinion, retaining an agent for the purpose of exposure after the BB3 experience would have to violate the rules for coming in the house. They have indicated time and again that they weren't allowed to discuss their possible participation in the house prior to being selected. You know, the whole 2 hours to pack, 'kidnapping' as they called it, and all. Most of last years cast apparently were the exception as most of them had agents because they were already aspiring actors/actresses.

Again, this is as far as I know. If someone else knows different, please jump in and let us know.

Thank you DRAHEID, I have also seen Gerry speak of his days in TV commercials, and also Jason spoke of just missing being cast in Saved by the Bell, Josh appeared on Blind Date, and Fifth Wheel. I was just getting the impression that maybe CBS sends out a casting call to agents to find the "cast" of BB.

I heard Gerry talking about having to take several "drug tests" when he was trying out for that game show "The Chair".

Draheid

Nemesis: Based on my limited knowledge of the show "The Chair" it makes sense that they would have to carefully screen for any sort of tranquilizers, sedatives or other 'calming' drugs in the system since the show is based on monitoring the heart rate of the contestant under stressful conditions.

JMO - FWIW

Draheid, I think that Nemesis was just remembering the context in which she heard that Gerry has some "show business" connections in his past, rather than making any comment about drug use.

Gerry said he had a part in Tootsie.

Has it rained at all at BB?

Draheid

Kits: Other than the tears of several of the contestants, nope. Don't you know "It never rains in California" :O ...oops, I feel FOTH coming on!

I actaully took a break last night and went out! Used a wheelchair and went to Bruce Springsteen cause nothing was going to make me miss it-and it was awesome. I hadn't been away from the boards or the house for almost a week. I highly recommend it!

My question-did any plotting or strategizing happen during the night?

Last year on BB2 I seem to recall people earning "immunity" from being nominated... did they, or am I inserting wishful thinking by overlapping "Survivor w/BB3?!"

can anyone tell me were to find a thread from last week (approx aug 19 or 20th) that discussed serveral books that folks recommended reading and/or that they would take into bb house?

Nemesis

Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 11:13 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Yes, I was just making a comment about Gerry's show business connection.
