TV ClubHouse: Archive: ARCHIVE THREE: What kind of "House" do you want for BB4?

I have been thinking about the people in the previous BB houses. Much of the drama has come from the the stronger personalities feeding off of or abusing the weaker personalities. Now I realize that a lot of that goes on in real life, but I believe it is maganified by the house. Here is my pick for BB4.

I would like to see 12 people with personalitieslike Eddie, Will Mega, Roddy, Dani, Will, Shannon, Cassandra and the other strong people we have seen in the house. They would not have to be "bad" people, just strong. I would like a house without emotionally unstable, needy, "broken wing" types. I know it is not always easy to know how they will react in the house, but maybe they need to do a little more research on them before they accept them. Is their application pool so small that they have to recruit people. Or perhaps that is exactly what they want. Seeing the strong abuse the weak stirs anger in us and anger makes us cheer for certain people. Re:Amy. Her popularity has risen as the abuse against her rises despite her annoying ways. I realize this makes for good ratings but:

How much better would a strong willed really intelligent group of people trying to manipulate each other be? Can you imagine 12 people like I have described? It would be great. And lets face it there would always emerge those who are stronger, but maybe we would not have to cringe at emotionally unstable people being pushed to near the breaking point. I don't remember any of the Survivor people ever being as emotionally devasted as some of the BB people and yet they suffer actual physical hardships. I wish they would give it a try.

What kind of "house" would you like to see next time?

A victorian would be nice, or even tudor. ;-)

You're so right about these unstable people. They do need to hire Survivor's casting folks. Sorry, but I'm really bone tired of Roddy and Dani types and can't abide Mega. I'd much rather see (as in another thread) more seniors and middle aged HGs and Joe/Joanna Average people than selected "personalities".

How about this, they could check out about 100 people, put their names in a hat and have each of the previous winners take turns drawing their names. The 100 could all be in the audiance and as their name is called, pick up their bag and march right on into the house. That ought to pretty much preclude 'stacking' the houseguests.

I'd like to see more fun people. People who know how to and do strategize, but not 24/7. People woh know how to have fun! I also agree about getting more stable people.

Why don't they just do what it seems they do now. Ignore all the people who send in tapes, etc. and just contact agents, friends and cruise around LA and invite them in.

I'd like to see the older generation equally represented in there too. I'm sick of the Hollywood Wannabees who think the world owes them.

I'd like to see an older woman with a normal figure, instead of the skinny model types. I'd like to see an overweight woman or two, and eliminate the ridiculous bikini/speedo swap challenges. I'm tired of seeing 20-something bikini models, with your token older-woman-with-the-plastic-body-desperatly-trying-to-hang-onto-her-youth-by-acting-like-a-twenty-year-old.

OK, in fairness, I didn't really see Sheryl fitting the description I gave above, but she was definetly the older-woman-with-the-amazing-body. Tanya most definetly fit the first description in my eyes.

It won't happen though. AS has clearly proven he wants trash-talking junior high mentality goons. If he can't get it from the normal population, he'll go out and recruit again like he did this time.

BB3 hasn't been a bit fun for me this year. Could be cause I've been involved with taking care of my mom. I've missed two or three Saturday episodes, and it doesn't bother me a bit. I don't even care who wins. I just don't like any of this year's characters well enough to root for anyone. What does bother me is, I still let myself get sucked in, and still watch it to see if I'm correct in guessing the next evictee. Oh well.....

Uhoh

i'd like to see a longer audition process where they'd have to prove they have intelligence, stability, and humor.

but do people like that really want to be on BB?

how about a biosphere? They have to grow their own veggies and fruit and if they want meat, slaughter an animal they are raising. Want Milk? Milk a cow. Bet they all walk out vegetarians.

Bedrooms with bunk-beds.
Time-out stool in the LR.
Swing set in the back yard, and get rid of that nice pool and put in a small poly-pool. (with no filter, make them kept the water fresh themselves)
Timer for the bathroom, no more hogging the shower.
Clothes-line in the back yard, get rid of the dryer.
And no more P.B. & J.--make it turnip greens and cornbread instead.

I would like to see the house filled with members of the Swedish Bikini Team, and instead of voting people out we vote people in to the house for one week stays

You folks are a riot. I love your choices. I really had in mind the kind of people for the house but I love your suggestions. Reminds me of going to a workshop for gifted and talented teachers. The director asked us to name birds. Most named robins, cardinals, owl, etc. One teacher named Larry, Admiral, and Big. I think you guys could teach the gifted and talented. LOL

Hmmmm and I was thinking the portable house they are currently using (read "trailer") was perfect for this group -- as Kiki would say, 'right where the trash fits!'

As regards the contestants, this is CBS, not PBS -- the size of a woman's bust is more important than the size of her heart, and six-pack abs are more important than a three-digit IQ.

This is UNreality "reality TV" where BB = Behind (the scenes of) Baywatch.

how about giving the HG's an abandoned house to live in to fix up? It would probably me more intresting watching the HG's clean the place up then watching them do arts-n-crafts. Imagine the screams - "eeek! rats!" "eeew.... vomit!"

Cmc209 -- BIG BROTHER MEETS THIS OLD HOUSE (or CHANGING ROOMS)... Steve/Norm (or Carol/Andy) to host... This is a great idea!

I totally agree on wanting strong personalities in the house. It would be great for us BUT as dfwteddy stated they need the so called beauty quotient that is apparently needed for ratings. I find it hard to believe that most people are that shallow until you look at the first week love em or leave em poll results on the CBS site and see who is in the number one spot for that week. TANYA, no personality, all bOObs! When you really look at her, she didn't even have looks, IMHO. Sadly, people (like most of us) who really become obsessed with this show for reasons other than to see some T & A are not in a large enough number to really matter that much. Sad but true.

Over the years I've said this several times, but I'll say it once more.

I think what would really make BB interesting would be if they cast interesting people (not just the star wannabees). I'd like to see a wide range of upbringings, values and lifestyles. Let me see if I can remember some past examples I gave. If not I'll make up some more.

How about someone who was raised Amish but left for a more open lifestyle, someone truly from the inner city who was raised in the projects, someone raised sheltered and filthy rich, someone from a tiny town who is very smart but has never known anything but that tiny town.

I could go on but I think I made my point. Some seriously diverse people who really would have something to talk about beyond just game strategy. I'd like to see these folks in all age and size ranges. I an picture some fascinating conversations as they try to understand each other and come together.

At the very least why don't they do 2 BB's a year, and try one this way. I think they would get totally different demographics of viewers, but I can see each show being successful.

I think for the BB4 houseguests sakes I would like to see an extra bathroom(toilet) b/c I don't know how more than two ppl on pb&j can stand having one toilet. And an olympic sized pool! (Keeps the hanky panky hot tub antics to a minimum).
Lurknomore- That would be interesting, but I doubt many would admit those kinds of upbringing b/c ppl would claim that each one is playing a "card".
I really don't care if they are young/old(er), but I do think they need to be in some kind of physical shape for the competitions. JMHO. :)

A houseboat would be cool but unfortunately impractical. (imagine if someone drowned)

An abandoned firehouse so they could slide down the pole!

Basically anything besides a boring house.

How about this one from the 1973 Woody Allen movie Sleeper
SaucerHouse
Complete with 'Orgasmatron'!
Of course there'd be cameras in there!

draheid, this is try number 4 to post after your sleeper home! i think you broke the board! anyway, i love your idea...and think all the guests could leave their sleazy clothes at home and wear woody allen suits and hold silver salt shaker lids in their mouths. they could eat peanut butter out of the giant jar will won last year and eat it on gargantuan celery stalks! and the car they win would be a 1963 vw, straight from the lake where it has floated for years... LOL
