Rozmatoz | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 01:30 pm     Especially Jason. And he is the one who should know better, he has watched the other BB's. This crew got started on this road a lot later than the previous bb's. It's kind of sad. |
Crossfire | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 01:52 pm     What concerns do they have? From previous experience, I would think the only thing they need to be afraid of, is that it only lasts for about a month, sometimes much less. |
Ark | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 01:53 pm     Amy, Jason & Lisa have had a little taste of the "outside world" and have seen that it's not all bad. These people have been more confined and cutoff than prisoners. BB has taken good care of them. If they were hurt or sick, BB was right on it. All they had to do was ask for basic necessities and they appeared. I can understand how leaving their safe environment would be a bit frightening. |
Hippyt | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 03:09 pm     Amy better drink up all those free drinks,because after about a week,her celebrity lifestyle will be history!(same for everyone else) |
Sunflowr | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 03:34 pm     true.. it doesnt seem to last long but it does seem to get them good jobs within where they live.. like Nicole and Jordon getting to be DJs for their local radio stations... local celeb status.. Will and his possible talk show.. Brittany had some luck for awhile with TV shows and a pilot but I have yet to actually see her in anything again. I guess the pilot got canned (??). But for the most part, seems they all just go back to their lives as before. |
Maris | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 03:48 pm     I think Jason is going to be disappointed that he didnt make the cover of Tiger Beat. I forgot that magazine even existed. How does a guy his age even know about that magazine. |
Willsfan | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 03:49 pm     Jason probably thinks he will be mobbed by teenage girl fans and his clothes ripped from his body. But then Marcellas thought he was the most popular HG. That house messes up their mind. |
Gidget | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 04:06 pm     Maris/Mollywood- Perhaps Jay knows about Tiger Beat because he works with kids? But I get your point he seems a little young for his age. <mod> |
Lyn | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 05:18 pm     I think the idea of total strangers knowing you and talking about you would be enough to make anyone uncomfortable. While being watched is a part of what they signed up for, it's a little disconcerting just the same. BTW Jason isn't the one who made the remark about Tiger Beat, Lisa is. Bbfreak Monday, September 16, 2002 - 03:28 pm Lisa says she bets Jason is in Tiger beat Jason Blushes and Laughs out loud |
Gidget | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 05:37 pm     Can I take this thread in a slightly different direction? Has anyone on the board ever experienced fame or spotlight even short lived. I had an experience for several months where I was a "celebrity" of sorts and every minute I was in public people were openly staring, whispering, coming up to talk to me. It was very uncomfortable. It was unexpected. I was not prepared for it. It was fun for about 12 hours. I know now that I never want to be famous. (But that doesn't stop me from wanting to be on bb because I want the money and the fun. I don't want to be a pseudo celebrity) |

Neko | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 05:48 pm     <<Jason probably thinks he will be mobbed by teenage girl fans and his clothes ripped from his body.>> I'm planning to do that |
Car54 | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 06:06 pm     Neko, I saw the map...if you are going to greet Jason, you better start driving now...you are WAY far from the BB house! |
Twiggyish | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 06:37 pm     I think it'd be scary, especially if fame came in a hurry. |
Ericzj | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 06:47 pm     The fame they will most likely experience is like what many have said. A free drink here and there or a job at home in the "entertainment" field will be the most any will see. The perks real fame come with, like getting in the best of restaurants w/o a reservation or free designer clothes sent to their door or complimentary floor/sky box seats for the game aren't likely to happen. That said I'm not knocking them but as Warhol said "It only lasts 15 minutes." |
What555456 | Monday, September 16, 2002 - 06:48 pm     Do you think they are worried about the celebrity? Or about the images they have portrayed in the house being seen and dissected by the public? If it is the latter, I don't blame them for being scared. |
Breezy | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 07:08 am     LOL Neko, and Car54!!!!! ;) |
Blossumtree | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 07:30 am     what celebrity lifestyles? boy that house really does mess with your head. jason, being such a reality show junkie, should know that two months after they leave people will be saying "hey whatever happened to whatshishame from that reality show?" |
What555456 | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 07:37 am     True enough, Blossumtree. However, living here in So Ca and dealing with a lot of people who live in Hollywood, WeHo and the West Side, it is amazing how that dream of celebrity if you just get that big break imbues a lot of people. I am not surprised that many of the people who go on these reality shows truly believe this is their big break. What I expect to see in two months is Jason waiting tables at some coffee shop here in the LA area telling everyone the job is just temporary because he is an "actor" (he'll have is SAG card to prove it!) and his agent is working on some really big deals. |
Blossumtree | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 07:45 am     well, if our little baby j wants to make it hollywood he's gonna have to ditch the virginity. |
Earthmother | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 08:02 am     I don't think any of them have much to worry about...lol |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 08:07 am     Even if they all do go back to the jobs they had prior to going into BB there will be the aspect of "local celebrity", at least for a while. Gidget you bring up a interesting topic. While I was never even semi-famous I did have my very brief 15 minutes where I was recognized by a few people after being profiled in a small 2 minute local interest news piece. I was much younger and it was sorta exciting to be recognized. But I agree with you. I value my privacy too much now to want anything more than anonymous obscurity now. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 08:21 am     I agree about the lack of privacy. It seems very high profile famous people, live behind high walls with security. They can't go anywhere without being hounded by photographers or fans. It just seems a high price to pay for fame. |
Cmc209 | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 09:33 am     I wonder if Jason is just playing with the reaming HG's with all his tales of the internet fans. In fact, last night when D, L, A and him were having a late night conversation, Amy started saying she didn't say something, and Jason was telling her she can check the internet transcripts knowing that we write as much down as we can. Jason knows exactly what to expect when he gets out of the house, or at least has a VERY good idea of what might happen. Hmm... I wonder if Jason used to be a BBFC regular - he sure does know a lot about us (the net fans). Anyone notice any members who have been here since BB1 that have all of a sudden disappeared this year.... |
Dmarcomb | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 09:57 am     <Anyone notice any members who have been here since BB1 that have all of a sudden disappeared this year.... > Whatever became of Ewing? |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 10:07 am     Dmacomb...it's not Ewing. Ewing was German I believe and lived in NY. He was quite close to the WTC tragedy and posted a lot about those events from his perspective. |
Groucho | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 11:16 am     Gidget, I'm curious about your experience. Care to share with us? What brought you this fame? How did you deal with it? |
Betty | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 11:43 am     Fame, lol! Andy exaggerated the time with this group. Big Brother who??? Someone please tell me who that long haired girl was back whenever in BB history that jabbered non-stop about how famous she was going to be outside BB? The net nick named her something "Jaw". |
Dmarcomb | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 11:52 am     Wcv...thanks for the reminder! I do recall his talking about the WTC, but didn't remember he was German. Ok, who else might it be? It would so cool if he was a member of TVCH! |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 12:08 pm     there is something i miss from bb1. i thought it was great when they walked out of the house and had alot of people fans? outside screaming for them and then they went into the studio and there was alot of noise as they walked in. then they would show the other hgs in the backyard listening to the commotion. the studio setting also made them look as if they were huge celebs. i found that quite funny. |
Gidget | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 12:22 pm     I have never forgotten this experience. I grew up in Southern California so I was never particularly star struck and never gawked (well not much) at celebrities. But after my own brush with "celebrity" I really understood how people who are recognized easily in public must feel. And that is what I was alluding to about the houseguests,too. I wasn't thinking in terms of what kind of perks they were going to get out of being on bb but the loss of privacy and how tiresome that gets really fast. I lived in another country for a time where NO one looked like me. I was married to a local boy. And even if I hadn't been so "exotic" my husband and I were, dare I say, gorgeous back in the day so we made quite a picture without the whole cultural thing. My husband's town was so "quaint" from my perspective that when we tried to buy airline tickets to another part of the country, mine was the first credit card they had ever seen and everyone in the office had to pass it around for a look and a feel. While his town was large by any standard it was not on the "tourist" beat hence very few visitors ever like me. Unless you count the European invaders of the 12th century (I think) who left behind light colored eyes all over the town. In all it was a wonderful experience but quite tiresome too. |
