Anyone else think there may be a BB before next summer??!!
Dntx4bb3 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:55 pm     http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother4/rules.shtml If you click on the eligibility Rules...it says May or June 2003 |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:57 pm     I will be filling out my application to be on BB4. At the age of 43, my odds are extremely low. Worth a shot for sure. |
Eden | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:01 pm     Not on a bet, a dare, on pain of DEATH! NEVER would I set myself up to have my every move, thought, motivation, spoken word disected by you people. EVER! LOL |
Jaysgal | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:28 pm     There's no way in hell I would ever go on BB. I would much rather try for Real World or Road Rules on MTV. I'm a private person, but I love to watch BB/Real World type of programs. If I ever went on a reality TV show, it would be something like Lost, Amazing Race or Fear Factor. There's less prying there. But if I had to go to shows like BB, I would rather pick Real World. And I'll probably get real fame from Real World than I would from BB. I wouldn't mind a show like BB 1, with some liveliness of course, but I cannot be on a BB 2 or BB 3 type of program. I just can't. |
Calgaryperson | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 09:32 pm     The show will most likely happen next summer, even though they are releasing application forms now. During BB1-in the final days the website with a message saying "If you are interested in participating in a new series of Big Brother-CLICK HERE". |
Ryn | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 09:39 pm     As posted above in this thread, the FAQ on the CBS website explains that the show is a summer show and the final selection for HGs will be May or June of 2003 (yes - it says 2003). imho CBS is simply trying to get more applications to select from since its was shown this year they had to go recruiting people to be on the show to match what they wanted. ot a bit - as much as people complained about that fact (the recruiting) - I think they did a pretty good job. |
What555456 | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 08:44 am     Will there be a BB before next summer? Nope. This is a summer replacement show; nothing more. They will not pull one of their expensive network shows for this sort of thing. The question is -- will there be a BB next summer? Maybe; maybe not. Depends on who is in charge and what they want. |
Lurknomore | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 09:43 am     Ryn not to get political...oh what the heck sure LOL...you think they did a good job of recruiting this house? INTERESTING people? Diverse people? Real people?? I guess good job boils down to what our hopes are for the HG's. I think they did a better job than last year (pick first dozen folks who you see walking down the street in NY and that could pretty much be achieved hehe) but good job? How interesting are these folks? These pimple picking, sex trash talking, flying under the radar mute not talking folks? Sorry I still want a house filled with interesting folks, interesting people with senses of humor from diverse backgrounds and ages who might play with some interesting strategies, not this wolf pack mentality that existed this year. Since I am now late to meet a friend for lunch I will pop off my soapbox. See ya back here later  |
Bailey | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 09:55 am     If I was still in my 20's... I would've killed to be on this show. I would get voted out the 1st or 2nd week and then spend the remainder of my life in therapy. |
Boodles | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 10:12 am     I agree Lurknomore. I would love to see a BB with a better mix of people. They do a great job of it on Survivor, why not BB? I missed BB1, but have watched both BB2 and 3. If I watch BB4 may depend on who is on it. I'm a 42 y/o woman, and while I'm not opposed to looking at beefcake young enough to be my son, give me a Paschal or a Peter in there too. |
Beagle | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 10:38 am     I would love to apply for BB4. But being a Canadian, I'm out of luck. I really wish they would open it up to North America. Believe me, they've never had a housguest like moi before!

Draheid | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 10:51 am     Beagle: The other thing YOU have to consider is the cost of putting a fire hydrant in the back yard for you to use.  |
Ryn | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 11:15 am     Lurk, you can get as political as you like, I think they did a good job. No matter WHO they put in that house people will hate them and complain. Yes, there will be a BB4 - the ratings this year have been excellent, they have won their time slot more times than not, never placed worse than 2nd and thats for 3 nights a week, not bad. You can see a list of the 'overnight' ratings for every episode in the "outside the house" area under "the ratings are in." |
Penpoint | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 02:50 pm     I would think that it might be a bit too cool, even in Southern California, to have Big Brother anytime other than the summer months. So much of the action takes place in the back yard--and at night--they'd need space heaters out there. Of course, they could start the show in early June rather than July, and that might explain their earlier recruiting. |
