Star291999 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 11:51 am     SBW, this isn't the show I have been waiting for either. I think it sucks. I mean what if the reason that they broke up was a mean drunk that got abusive, but they didn't tell anyone. Or what if the ex's phyically hurt them, stalked them after breaking up, or god forbid raped them and they didn't report any of the they just broke up with them and made sure their paths didn't cross again. And further that with you going out for the show and they ask you about previous boyfriends, but but because you hadn't told anyone about the problems and you don't want to make them an issue now, so when asked you say "sure he was a good guy". Well guess what, now that person is LOCKED in a house with you for the next 3 months. This is just wrong. As we have seen, no matter how thorough of a background check they do on people, things slip through the cracks. In my opinion, this is a dangerous game that CBS is playing. If I wanted to watch re-runs of the Jerry Springer show, I would watch the real thing. Who knows, I may change my mind after the first show, but right now, I don't expect I'll be watching more than the first show. DK |
Lurknomore | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 11:51 am     In addition to what I posted before, I still maintain that it has to do with casting and what kind of people are in the house. Each year I pray for interesting people of substance. Sigh...each year less and less. I hope last year taught them that they need some folks for fans to root for to win, or no one cares. A girl can dream. And Peepin...I respect everyone's opinion (even when they are wrong lolol), but I guarantee you that there are real deal psychics (and mediums). And as they usually show us on BB each year, real deal psychotics too LOLOL! |
Laisey | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 11:55 am     I think it would be great if one of the uncouples were gay. Amazing Race hasn't been afraid of gay couples, so maybe it's time for BB to get away from the usual one gay per show. |
Kaili | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 11:57 am     I wonder if they are going to do a thing again like that bird nest with the ex-couples- where if they stay in together throughout the show, they win bonus money. I just don't want Big Brother to turn into a dating show. Sure I'll watch, and yeah maybe I will like it, but this is really making me miss the original format of the show. |
Faerygdds | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 12:02 pm     Dang Star.. do you know my ex??? Almost everything you named happened in my first marriage!!! That's creepy in and of itself... but reading it is even worse. No.. worse is looking at the 2 1/2 inces of scar on my hand from when I defended myself from a bread knife... I'm telling you I almost tried out!!! If I were locked in a house with my ex.. I'd either hit the panic button OR... sleep with a butcher knife! |
Dallasbbfan | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 12:32 pm     I'm hoping it will be ex boyfriends and girlfriends versus spouses. I also hope that if it is a husband/wife that there were no children produced from the marriage. Airing your dirty laundry on TV is one thing, but when there are kids involved (no matter what age) you've stepped over the line. |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 12:34 pm     I don't know what to think about this....Obviously AS wanted a big change, and he got it. If it falls into the set groups people are discussing (one pair hates each other, one wants to get back together, one get along real well, and one pair ignore each other) it could get boring...but if 2 or three couples don't like each other and sides start to form, it could get real interesting real fast......and the 5 unafilliated people will have a lot of power here. And the second house idea is good.....a lot of the information will depend on the editing of the information the jury does get. Not letting them have DR stuff can work well, but could backfire if the regular editing is taken too far out of context....and the age range could be intersting as well...obviously there won't be a lot of alcohol this year (since one of the contestants is underage at 19...that's mainly been why it's always been 21 or older). I'll wait to see how this plays out.... |
Zcompkid | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 01:22 pm     Hey guys, Now is this the BIG twist/secret/emotionally-mind-altering thing? Or won't we know that until the show says it? Just wondering because you never know if that is the BIG TWIST! |
Ryanc829 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 01:40 pm     Not sure I really buy the revealed big twist. If it is true then I may not bother paying for the feeds. And yes, there will be feeds. We go through this same "Will there be feeds or not?" paranoia every year. Trust me, there will be feeds. |
Marysafan | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 01:50 pm     Okay...but if one set of ex's is Mike boogie and Krista....I'm outta here!!! |
Crossfire | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 01:55 pm     Hold the door. I could deal with Krista, but I've had enough of the other to do me a lifetime. |
Bearstuff | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 01:57 pm     I agree with that!!! No more booger for me |
Spunky | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 01:57 pm     This is surely the work of a 'twisted mind'. I don't like it one bit. Actually, I just don't like the idea of having any 'outside interference'.... the concept of 'big brother' is disappearing... blah! |
Ryanc829 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:03 pm     Spunky - Far as I'm concerned there is no "conecpt of big brother" and there hasn't been since they dropped the European format. No matter how much we whine and complain about them changing the show, most of us will stick around for the whole summer, and even come back next year for the next big change, which we'll whine about, but end up watching anyway. |
Grannyg | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:05 pm     AS will probably have the HG's live feed on Real superpass and the evicted HG's on Yahoo superpass. Thank way you either spend money for both or you only get one. Think of the money CBS stands to make if there are two lives feeds of different things. |
Faerygdds | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:19 pm     Just an FYI of confirmation... I just saw a commercial between Guilding Light and Dr. Phil for BB and it said tha the ex's were going to be there... so it's for real. |
Hippyt | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:22 pm     Well,hey,I think this kinda stinks! I'd rather watch people learn to hate each other from the start,than have them already know each other! Oh,well,naptime.I'll think about it later..... |
Angelbleu | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:22 pm     This is just awful!!!!!....I am so dissappointed!!!!!!!.....what a horrid idea!!!!!!*getting my earphones ready* *checking out my RealOne to make sure it's in working order* *calling friends to tell them I will not be available for ANYTHING for the next 3 months* *saying goodbye to my family* |
Ryanc829 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:22 pm     *sigh* Get one half of each couple out ASAP. |

Reader234 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:44 pm     Thanks for the article faerygdds, it also states the veto will play a different role!! duh!! I would hope so, and Ryan, I couldnt agree with you more - - esp about the European model!! But some people think they know everything... (*ahem, that was a comment on AS!! or the TV people!!) and how COULD I leave for a CAMPING vacation on the 6th???!! ugggggggg I'll only be able to catch up thanks to the TVCH family!! |
Marysafan | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:45 pm     Thanks Faerygods, I feel a LOT better knowing that none were ever married and that no children were involved. |
Ryanc829 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:46 pm     Reader234 - Wasn't saying that I miss the European format. Thought it was kind of boring myself. Was just saying that in my opinion you can't really complain about "the concept of big brother" disappearing because it's already gone. |
Marysafan | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:47 pm     Reader...I leave on Wednesday and won't be back until the 14th...I am counting on everyone here to keep me updated when I get back. I can't wait to find out how you all feel about the new hampsters. |
Ryanc829 | Monday, June 30, 2003 - 02:50 pm     Has anyone seen Spygirl today? I left her a message in her folder and can't seem to find her in any threads to let her know. |
