Laisey | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 10:08 am     Ah Bbfan, a point to ponder. What if (I just love what if's) the first show (Tuesday) is the live show rather than Wednesday. They could bring them in immediately after the show and let them think they were going in live, telling them something like the HG were going in in three groups and would all meet for the first time inside. Another what if - there is no live show the first week, at least no live shots from inside the house. That way they could bring them in at any time as long as they get enough footage for the first three shows first. And my third what if - they tell them a partial truth, to add to the drama they're going in late. Of course if they did that, I be really about a late arrival affecting my chances. I hope we get to find out how they do handle it. |
Momiee43 | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 10:37 am     Ok, someone help me I have yet to see anything that says only some will be sent in and others will come later where is this story. I thought they would all go in together, ( should be interesting to see how many are still in the house after the first show!!!!!) So where does it say they will come in later. |
Avenger | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 10:42 am     I can't speak for how it will go down between the 5th and the 8th, but the Zap2It article indicated that as far as the first episode was concerned, the five singles and the four that make up half of the X couples would enter the house first, and that the four that were "recruited" through the background checks would enter later in the episode. So, I translate that to mean that by the end of the episode on the 8th, and by the time the feeds start, we'll have them all in the house. |
Ladytex | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 10:43 am     According to the Zap2It article in another thread, They'll enter the house first along with half of each of the former couples; the exes will join them later in the premiere. I read this as the ex's will join the house next Tuesday during the first show... |
Laisey | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 11:19 am     I know I read in an article somewhere (there are so many in so many places) that they come face-to-face in the fourth episode. Since this seems to be a difficult arrangement, I think I must have misinterpreted the word episode. I took it to mean the 4th episode of this year's show. In all likelihood, it meant this year's show is the fourth episode of BB. |
Naja | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 11:53 am     The way the Post worded how and when they enter is even more confusing. I hope I do this right. http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/2131.htm |
Laisey | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 12:26 pm     Naja, if I read it correctly, I think this is the way it will go and this seems logical. The first 9 enter the house July 4, followed a couple hours later by the 4 exes. On Tuesday and Wednesday (live show) we get to see what they want to show us of what happened. Wednesday will be the HOH competion. Friday will be nominations with voting and eviction on the following Wednesday. This seems to fit with all the nonspecific statements by AS. |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 12:35 pm     well, that works better than having the exes come in 'days' later. if these exes are on good terms, as the article suggested they might be, these couples might just team up and oust the poor people who didn't have a pre-existing relationship...although the medical in me wants to call it a pre-existing condition! lol |
Angelbleu | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 12:37 pm     Well that Post article makes sense...they will go in a few hours after the first bunch...so they will all be in the first night. |
Sunshyne4u | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 12:38 pm     BEING blonde is tough......I just have had a thought! These arent previously married exes! No doubt these are just ex Boyfriends and girlfriends and it changes everything in my opinion. There will be more likelyhood of rehooking up and the jealousy factor raising its ugly head. (I honestly was thinking ex wives and ex husbands were going to be HGs and then all we'd see is fighting and plotting and FOTH!) I object to someone underage going into the house...the few times strong personalities cracked in seasons past was AFTER drinking too much. Poor Judgement....and I have always wondered about Danielle's husband's reaction to the horrifying drunken sexual talk and positions that she was doing on CAM LIVE the last night in the house!! Maybe alc will be banned this time?? |
Naja | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 12:45 pm     aha yes, just a few hours difference does make the most sense. Too strong of bonds between everyone else could be formed anyway if they let it go days. |
Avenger | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 01:41 pm     If anything, I have a feeling there will be *more* alcohol this year. Given the change in premise, and given that things clearly got more interesting last year when they got liquored up, I think they'll turn up the alcohol quotient a bit. That being said, as long as the 19 year old is under strict orders *not* to drink - I don't see any problems. |
Laisey | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 01:54 pm     As ridiculous as it may seem, there is always the possibility the 19-year doesn't drink. But I agree with Avenger there will be instructions issued that he/she is not to drink. If he/she should pick up a bottle of beer, you can bet money we will be watching the FOTH while BB is barking out orders to take the beer away from the kid. |
Peachie | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 02:17 pm     Well I dont think it is fair if they let the first 9 in to hurry and choose their rooms and their beds and then the 4 "x's" have to settle for what beds or cots are left. Hmmmmm doesnt sound fair to me. LOL If I was going in late they had better of saved one of the comfy beds for me. LOL |
Angelbleu | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 03:51 pm     The sad part is we won't see it live...will have to watch the show for the reactions of the exes... I am sure they want that under the control of their editors. |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 04:08 pm     Laisey you may be on to something...maybe they cast a 19 year old Mormon! (only half kidding here) |
Star291999 | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 04:28 pm     The following was in the CBS "Eyemail" that I got today. What a total lie! Total Strangers my foot! DK :p BIG BROTHER 4 Premiere, Tuesday, July 8, 8PM ET/PT Total strangers live together in a house outfitted with dozens of microphones and cameras. A HouseGuest is then voted out each week. |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 04:28 pm     I just got my new Tv Guide and it says the last 7 evicted will be sequestered with NO ACCESS to the show. They will be the only ones to vote in the final vote. They are hoping the ones left will be more candid since there will be no fear of angering the voters. Has this been talked about yet? **edit** Here's the article from TV Guide.com Big Brother 4 60 min. The reality series begins its fourth edition with the promise of a “shocking twist” that could mean that some of the 13 houseguests won't be sticking around. “It will be mentally and emotionally taxing for them,” reports executive producer Arnold Shapiro. “It will be interesting to see if by the end of the first show all 13 are still in the house.” Another change is that “the last seven people who are evicted will be sequestered at a secret location where they will not have access to the show,” Shapiro adds. Only those seven will vote for the winner. He hopes the change encourages the players to be more candid since there will be no fear of angering a voter. Julie Chen hosts. |
Laisey | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 04:30 pm     Actually Lurk, I would enjoy seeing someone who has strong feeling against alcohol dealing with a Krista or an Amy. What I don't think I'll enjoy is people rehashing their past while we're wondering what on earth they are talking about. When nobody knew each other if someone want to talk about someone or something, they had to give some background or explanation. I'm sure they'll come up with the TV show they want, but the feeds could become really frustrating, sort of like people having a heated discussion while they pass through a room you're in. |
Curlyq | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 04:40 pm     That's true, Laisey. In the past when something happened between HGs we were witnesses to who said what (and had fun taking sides). This time we'll only have their versions of what they're griping about and nobody will know what really happened. Any chance this may just be a fake-out? I mean if they keep all 13, won't that make the show run longer? They can't just assume that someone will leave. What if they all decided to stay? Perhaps they're just going to make the HGs think the exes are staying to see if anyone bolts, and then after a day or so they'll leave. |
Laisey | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 04:50 pm     Curlyq, 13 people shouldn't make any difference in the time frame for the show. Last year Amy came back and since she was evicted twice, that would be the equivalent of 13 HGs. The exes are sure to stay; otherwise you'd only have 9 HGs to last out the whole summer. |
Kellirippa | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 05:15 pm     ARe the couples (ex-couples) to be evicted as couples or individually? |
Therlin | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 05:39 pm     Individually. Each player is on his or her own. |
Kellirippa | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 05:41 pm     thanks therlin, I wasn't sure if they were to play as teams or on their own. |
