If the public still voted
Joyful | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 08:31 pm     I am just curious. If the public still voted who do you think would have been voted out first, second etc? I didn't watch BB1 so I'm not sure if the voting audience had live feeds to judge from. If BB3 had been handled this way I would have called to vote out Josh first! |
Draheid | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 08:45 pm     Joyful, it's hard to speculate because in BB1, the HG's nominated who was up for eviction before the public voted. They even had more than 2 nominees several times ... it would be hard to guess who would have been up each week this year especially. |
Oregonfire | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 08:49 pm     If the public still voted, a pet rock would end up winning. No drama, no trash talk, no pulse. The perfect BB winner. |
Trulyscrumtious | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 09:07 pm     lol...  |
Seamonkey | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 09:25 pm     Eddie.. no drama, no trash talk, no pulse?? He may have been missing a leg, but was larger than life in most respects. Now, Josh, pet rock.. I agree, not much difference. (BB I Josh, that is) |
Shortnsweet | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 09:36 pm     I thought Josh (BB1) was great! He and Curtis are my all-time favorite BB houseguests! Anyway, Eddie did more than his share of trash talking. The live feeds were free back then and I watched on a regular basis. Actually, I think Dani would have had a chance at winning if BB3 had been like BB1. She might not have been nominated (the houseguests liked and trusted her) and she has many loyal supporters who would have spent the money to keep her in the house. I wish they would have let us know the outcome of the tie-breaker voting. I think Dani might have won! |
Mark13 | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 09:46 pm     I started to list the order that the HG would have been evicted had the viewers voted, but it was just so hard! It would all depend on how the other HG acted once another HG had been evicted. I do think that Josh would have went early, as would have Tonya and Amy and Lori, because they were generally loud and/or opinionated. (Which is wierd as they ended up the first ones to go even without viewer votes.) Chiara would have went early too. I'm not sure about Roddy, it's hard to read how viewer's would have felt about him, especially if Chiara had gone early. Regardless, I think the HG that would have made it to the end would be about the same. (IMHO) Jason would have definately made it, as would Lisa. And the third one of the last three would be Amy, if she had been brought back in (in this fantasy BB3 we're talking about.) If Amy wasn't brought back in, then I suspect that Eric would have been in the final three, as the viewing public could not have tolerated breaking Eric and Lisa up. |
Bluie | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 05:48 am     It's hard to predict, since the HGs would act completely different if they knew the public was judging them. I do know that any hint of phoniness or backstabbing and that would be the first HG to get voted out by the public. I personally loved BB1. The free live feeds, the whole tone of it being something that we the viewers were apart of. The only thing I don't miss is the chickens and the drab decor they had then. And some of the challenges were a bit boring. CBS should at least consider making the feeds free again. But those days have passed I guess. |
Ryn | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 06:08 am     At least they let us see the challenges, and they lasted more than an hour. The dominos faling a few times, having to learn to Juggle, the dance marathon..... I like the short challenges too - but the long ones were sometimes interesting. |
Turgon | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 06:45 am     i long for the day when BB returns to what it is supposed to be. they should even call it BB anymore because the only thing it has in common with the other shows all over the world is the format, people locked in a house being recorded 24/7. if the producers over here had any sort of imagination things could have been better but instead were stuck with survivor in a house. shapiro needs to change alot of things to get this show back on track. starting with free live feeds, if they were smart they would get a pay per view channel that broadcasts 24/7 like they do elsewhere and charge for that. i think everyones biggest problem is BB is their friend, they talk to him all the time and treat him as a houseguest. BB is there to cause friction not be their buddy. ok im off topic ill stop but, one more thing to show you how horrible our BB has become. in BB South Africa one of the hg's (richard who eventually ended up winning this year) called BB a wanker so BB retaliated by making him clean most of the house and it took him almost half the day lol. meanwhile on our BB you can clean the toilet with someones toothbrush, cheat on food challenges, sneak food when they're not supposed to, write notes, and all they get are warnings. where is the mean BB we need.... and a BB who stays out of house business. |
Zachsmom | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 09:33 am     This was at the bottom..some threads need bumped up.. |
Bluie | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 02:52 pm     Thats true. The first BB was the closest to what it should really be. All they needed to do was improve on making some of the challenges more interesting and add some unexpected twists here and there. And spruce up the very drab decor. Also free live feeds 24/7 so we get the feel they really are in a fishbowl and we see everything. And very little involvement from the other side (BB). I forgot just how great that old format was the more I think about it. I might just email CBS and let them know what I think about it. And let the HGs view the banners again. Woo hoo, now we're talking. |
Joyful | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 05:56 pm     When the POV was first mentioned in BB3 I thought wow, this is going to stir things up! Since no one hardly used it I doubt they will even have it for number 4. I suppose people are and will always be too cautious to ruffle feathers because of the fear of retaliation. I wish I could find BB1 to watch. Are there videos for sale somewhere? |
Oregonfire | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 06:34 pm     Maybe the public could have the power of veto on a few nominations? That's a way to get us involved. Not sure how it would work though. |
Joyful | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 08:34 pm     Oh Oregon that would be a great idea! They could vote to save one person and at the same time offer another nomination? The person with the most call in votes would then be put up. |
Prisonerno6 | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 10:32 am     I love the idea of idea of the public having the POV. After every nomination, there is a phone-in vote to veto Nominee A, Nominee B, or no veto. IT would really throw some unpredictability into the mix, involve the public in the show, and remind the houseguests that Big Brother really is watching 24/7. You could end up with some really interesting balancing acts, between trying to show a good/interesting/entertaining face to the public and being devious enough to win the game. |
Muse | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 07:50 pm     I think Josh and Amy would have been gone the first two weeks. Roddy and Danielle would have gone when the bashlash started up against them. Tonya and Chiara probably wouldn't have made it halfway. Marcellas probably would have annoyed enough viewers that he would have gone (albeit a little later, like around the time he actually did go). Same goes for Lori, especially since I think she would've had a *major* meltdown after a few weeks. More under the radar types like Jason, Lisa, Gerry, and maybe Eric would have done better. If I had to guess, I'd say that Jason and Lisa would have been the final two, with Jason winning. Of course, this is all assuming that nominations worked out the way they did on BB1, with everyone getting nominated along the way. That might not have actually happened, though, since there were alliances established pretty early on. The couples, for example, could have stayed around long enough to dominate the game. |
Turgon | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 09:57 am     see one thing about the old format of BB that people forget is the fact the alliances weren't allowed. im not positive if thats how it was on our BB1 but thats how it works all over the world in the old format, no alliances what so ever. and if BB catches people tryin to make an alliance the consequences would have been bad. i can see why they changed the format but they shouldnt have, BB isnt about lying and ploting and scheming (sp?) its a socioligical experiment under extreme circumstances where all you can do is be yourself and hope the public likes you. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 02:32 pm     First they can not make the live feeds free because by having to use a credit card Real can say that an adult was at least a part of getting the feeds turned on. Second If the public did the voting then we may not have had the Danny blow up over washing hands or any number of arguments, or plotting that kept most of us talking the whole summer. If however we did do the voting still and the nomminations stayed in the same order then it is a no brainer who would have won. Jason would have won by a landslide. He was bland when it came to confrontations, never said a negative word, and stayed out of all controversies. |
