What do you think the HGs will be and what would you like?
Laisey | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 08:20 am     I think there will be: An older married man with a stay-at-home wife and children. I'd like him to have grandchildren and be ultra conservative and tough; something like a retired marine drill instructor. I'd also liike to see an older married woman with children and grandchildren who is a professional of some type and ultra liberal. Not that I'm looking for conflict (yeah, right) but I think it would be interesting to see where their similarities and differences go. There will be a bartender, one or more aspiring actors, and at least one single mother. I'd also like to see a single father, preferably one with custody. There will be a gay. I'd like to two gays whose psychological profiles indicate they would not be compatible. Would they develop a friendship because of their sexuality, or would their differences cause them to bond with others. I'd like to see two lesbians since, for some reason, reality TV does not seem to give this group of our population much attention. And, of course, there will be at least two males and two females who are M&Ms for the eyes. |
John32070 | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 03:42 pm     After two gay guys (Bunky and Marc) I'd like to see an attractive lesbian, just to see what it would do to the other women, as well as the men. also like to see people from different walks of life than seen previously. |
Therlin | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 04:08 pm     I don't care if we see a gay man or a lesbian, but I'd like to see at least one. And I hope that they do not match every stereotype in the book. We had Bunky who cried at the drop of a hat and then Marc who was flamey. Nothing against them, they were great people and I cheered for them, but there are many of us out there who do not fit those stereotypes. A single father is a great idea. I would also like to see unattached people. I don't want to hear about their relationships or kids. They longer the stay in the house, the more they'll talk about it (absence makes the heart grow fonder) |
Monkeyboy | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 04:53 pm     I just hope the people are interesting and dont drink nyquill to get a buzz. |
Monkeyboy | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 05:01 pm     I would also like the house to be more diverse. Instead of just one or two African Americans, throw in three or four interesting ones. Also maybe a hispanic houseguest for a change? Race doesnt make people interesting, i would just like to see intereaction between everyone, that would make it interesting. IMO of course. i also want real people d*mn it! I wanna see people from different walks of life! Not lots of fake chi chis and wannabe actors. And a diversity in ages would be nice too! maybe four 20 somethings, four 30 somethings, two fourty somethings and 2 in their fifties. Of course none of this will happen! But a monkey can dream  |
Lurknomore | Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 03:55 pm     LOL Monkeyboy, I agree with everything you said!!!!!! So for what I want just reread his post Now what do I think we'll get? Assuming it's 13 HG's, I'd say we get 11-12 20 to young 30 year olds all with some alleged jobs and ALL star wannabee's and ALL eye candy. We then will have one or two older people, most likely one cantankerous older guy and maybe one MIFL type. Hope I'm wrong but Arnie and crew have been sooo predicable |
Maris | Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 04:11 pm     Yep Lurk, they will be people we will LOVE to hate. I have to say I dont want a bunch of 40 plus, overweight and sensible people. I do want the ridiculously self involved so I can watch them self destruct. That is what BB is to me. I dont want to be bored watching "nice" people who would never be mean or disrespect their fellow houseguests. BRING ON THE TOOTHBRUSHES. |
Laisey | Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 04:26 pm     I'd like to see a group who are in in for the money -- not as a stepping stone to a show business career. I know there are plenty of people who would scheme, deceive, backstab, etc. just for the money. The trouble is they won't be found by recruiting at Belly's bar. |
Lurknomore | Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 04:45 pm     Maris, I wouldn't mind if they were people I "loved to hate." But last year and most of the year before were just people I couldn't stand period. (Jason excluded of course). I saw no redeeming qualities in the majority of them, other than the fact it made me want to hug all my friends for being NOTHING like them lol. They were boring to watch, boring to listen to, and even after awhile their scheming got boring. Not everyone over 40 is overweight, sensible and boring. I'll vouch for that . I just wish they would think of what BB is when they cast people, and what would best make it work. Imagine some interesting conflicts from people from vastly different walks of life with some actual life experiences (that few can have at age 20). Now if you tossed in a few eye candy 20's WITH the others then that would make an interesting mix. Beyond Shannon and the toothbrush incident, which was funnier than hell, to me there wasn't one interesting thing about her. She was just plain mean and self absorbed. YAWN. And with a few really fun exceptions, most of the feeds last year were as exciting as watching paint dry. And most of the interesting things that went on started after 3 am EST, which is very inconvenient if you 1) live in EST and 2) actully need to wake up the next day. I swear if it wasn't for this board and the fun we MAKE I would have stopped watched last year. In the beginning of BB, I used to run in when I had to leave my puter and rush over to the live feeds area to see what I missed. Last year I might browse there if I read something eventful had happened, but mostly I just chatted here. |
Bigfan | Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 09:25 pm     Let me give you my list of 13 faces: 2- 20 year olds, one of them a college student that has to work their way thru, the other one that doesn't have a clue as to what they want for their future. 2- 25 year olds, one of them a parent maybe, the other someone just finishing their schooling and off to meet the world. 2-30 year olds, one that has finished school perhaps that really just wants to see what else there is to do, the other someone in the middle of work, house payments and debt. 2-35 year old, one happy, one just wanting out of their present. 2-40 year olds, one a success, the other a stay at home pta mom. 2-45 year olds, full of fun people that have taken life for what was given them. 1-60 year old person that is in good health and can keep things running. NO members of actors unions and those that plan a future of acting......heck, I'd give the house one just to see what they would do. I don't think we can call the houseguest of Bigbrother 1 a boring group in the fact that reality tv was new and they didn't have a clue as to how to play the game. Now the public is wise to the ways of trying to win. Let's let real people play! |
Castalinas | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 08:39 pm     I agree with Maris. Give me the bad, the worse, and the absolutely frightening(Justin). If I want to see nice people, I'll go to church. I want lots of drinking, self distruction and possible fist fights. |
Bmh | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 08:45 pm     I just want alot of people to root for and alot of people to looooooooveeee to hate and at least one person to just depsise and hope dies a horible death..lol jk! I just want a good group of people that will provide non-stop drama,excitement,joy,saddness,fun etc. etc. I will give Shapiro credit for at least being able to pick a good group of crazy characters cuz the last 2 years of BB have been fantastic to say the least. |
Bbfan05 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 09:46 pm     Amen to that, Bmh! |
Naja | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 05:55 am     I would just like a healthy mix of everything...But, I just hope someone sweet and meek and soft spoken like Lisa does not make it to the final 2 or 3 again. She was like watching paint dry towards the end there. |
