Archive through July 24, 2003
Whit4you | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 04:42 pm     Well Eoyre, I could tell from the thread topic that the Erika one was going to turn into a political debate, and I could tell from the first post that the Ali/Nate discrimination one was going to as well. I have no doubts within a week or two of being here you'll recognize that sort of thing right off the bat too. Basically any topic regarding the houseguests that is a 'hot topic' with people in real life - tends to turn into a discussion (debate?) thread here as well. The topics such as race, religion, abortion, gay rights and so on... usually you can tell by reading the thread topic, or the first few posts. Usually (not always) if a few people start some heated debate in a thread that had NOTHING to do with their debate prior - the mods will step in... so for example if we are discussing Will's shorts - and someone mentions off the cuff some topic like Abortion and it turns into a debate IN that thread - it's not likely to continue. One thing you might enjoy doing is checking out the BB 2 or 3 archives, there are some really interesting threads there and you'll learn more about how we 'tick' - new faces are very welcome here (everyone was new here at one time!!) and yoru thoughts and feedback (and rants) are informative. Just remember there are dozens of BB boards to choose from - some think this board is overmoderated, some think it's undermoderated and so on... for those who really don't like this board though there's a link section that'll show you all the other choices. I think personally this is the best board though even though it isn't pefect for me, it is the best of the options available for me. The best option if you are not interested in or don't like the various ongoing conversations at that time - is to start your own thread others will join it If you do venture to our archives, be sure and read the 'funniest HG quotes' and "Funnest TVCH quotes' they are too funny ;) Sooooooooo trust me on this very soon you'll figure out which threads you personally wish to avoid because those topics don't interest you etc - till then bear with the place there are many here who do enjoy those discussions debates brought on by watching this show and it's part of why they are here. Welcome to TVCH!  |
Lurknomore | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 04:46 pm     I can't believe I'm about to complain about this...but I know folks here will understand LOL. I'd like to complain that all of a sudden I seem to be having a life. I just got back from NY and now I got an invite from a very cute man to go to the beach and a barbque in Newport, RI this weekend. Normal common sense would say GO but I'm sitting here thinking, OH NO but BB finally got interesting. ACCKKKKK. And Whit...I think the reason the majority here have "been for underdogs" is that the majority have been for the nice, relatively normal people. And for some reason that makes them underdogs (and sometimes hard to find lol) in this game. |
Maris | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 04:47 pm     Whit, who are the underdogs this year??? They are all dogs to me. |
Jpgramma | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 04:47 pm     Whit said : "...The best option if you are not interested in or don't like the various ongoing conversations at that time - is to start your own thread others will join it. " eeeeek! come on whit.. isn't there an over abundance of thread starters here already? lol |
Laisey | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 04:50 pm     Lurk, it's only Thursday, BB will be back to boring by the weekend, so go. All you will miss will be hours and hours of Dana and you've already heard everything she has to say. |
Lurknomore | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 04:57 pm     Laisey what a wonderful voice of reason you are hun...THANK YOU lol. Now that you mention it with this crew it might be back to boring by tonight LOL |
Naja | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 04:57 pm     If they fill tomorrow's show with a bunch of crap about past HG's and things that have nothing to do with the events of last night and today, I will really feel like the people who don't get the live feeds will have been ripped off. It would take a 2 hour special to be able to stress all that went on here last night and today. I'm serious. There were at least 15 conversations worth making the show for sure, PLUS the competitions. I just don't think there is any way they will be able to portray the actual craziness that went on in an hour tomorrow. Too bad. |
Laisey | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 05:01 pm     Lurk, and if by some miracle something exciting does happen, we'll send a banner. |
Naja | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 05:03 pm     P.S. I REALLY don't like that Amazing Race is always on during the Nomination stress..LOL |
Lurknomore | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 05:03 pm     Oh my I disagree Naja...for me the highlight of yesterday's show was seeing Jason and Dani. I LOVE catching up with them. My biggest wish is that they would show folks from BB1. I'd love to catch up with them. And the problem with showing ALL that went on is that how many chats can you show of folks swearing to different alliances. Even those of us who get the live feeds can only listen to so much of it. I think they just end up showing the things that ultimately end up important to the game versus chatter that didn't pan out. That would only confuse those watching. It's why folks should have the feeds |
Naja | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 05:07 pm     Lurk, I can tell you that my RL best GF (avid BB fan) without the feeds, has no idea what a nut Dana is. They just don't show enough of it. I would rather see more of the current show than the other stuff |
Whit4you | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 05:57 pm     Maris well clearly the underdogs would be the 5 going against the 8 (now do in part to the 5 x's themselves the 3 x's against 8...) NORMALLY on TVCH - during BB and survivor the majority here seem to be for the underdogs, and when the underdogs do get the upperhand often the new underdogs (especially in survivor...after a merge) seem to be the favorites on TVCH. But this year on BB is like no other survivor / BB situation here. I really don't know anyone who's passionately for the underdogs "Jee3" as a group, so that's why the lack of total explosive natuer we are used to here... because it's not really passionate / inspriring to rise up and defend the folks who've pretty much got it locked up for now anyhow... and there aren't a small group opposed to the normal favorites here (underdogs) I mean this is just how *I* see it. I felt alone in sorta hoping the X's (since they didn't get a fair deal in this, even though they signed up for 'anything goes' - would find a way to pull it out as the underdogs - since the majority here seemed to me to be hoping the Jee3 would lose in their quest to get rid of one of the 8. I felt it was unusual to be in the minority (in supporting the undergogs) but after listening to Jee for a few hours (I already disliked him but was routing for the x's cause they started out with a disadvantage) After listening to him for a few hours - I was so revolted ... that I couldn't even POST my thoughts. So my point is - NORMALLY the way I see it... here at TVCH there's a majority all for the underdogs... and a minority for one or more of the other group, this leads to heated discussions debates here at TVCH. But I really don't see many passionately "FOR" anyone here this year. Maybe they are just lurking at this point who knows. I think this is all going to change here at TVCH in the next few weeks... so we'll just be getting a late start. Personally I don't care who wins (long as it isn't JEE) but I do hope one of the under dogs (Justin) wins just cause they had a totally unfair deal in this years BB. Anyhow as I said this is just how *I* perceive this years TVCH posts, unlike most years I'm only able to read maybe 30 to 40% of them so I may just be reading the wrong threads and have a totally confused view of it all. |
Cricket | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 06:15 pm     HappyMom, yes, Dana didn't answer a question and even said herself that she won by default since the others all lost. LOL, at Clio. I love how you call David BB4 Winner. So cute. I wouldn't be sad at all if he won. |
Wendo | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Ok, I just have to complain and rant... Rant ON Aaaarrrrgggghhh! My feeds are sücking åss tonight!!! What the beejeesus is up with Real and the feeds??? The audio stream isn't even coming in clear. I could care less about the video at this point (Heck, give me the slide show!), but I want the audio!!! Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhh! RealOne, I hate you right now. Hate. As in despise, abhor, and detest. Yep. Hate. I hate you like the Elite Alliance hates Dana right now. HATE. Rant OFF Ok, deep breath. I feel better now. |
Lurknomore | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 07:22 pm     Whit I'd really like to respond to one thing you said and trust me it will turn into a complaint lol. You said "But I really don't see many passionately "FOR" anyone here this year." I totally agree with you, and will tell you my feelings why this is true. These people are as much fun to watch most days as watching paint dry. Worse, because at least with paint you generally are accomplishing something. There is no humor. There is no real teamwork schemeing. There's not good against bad. Alliances change by the hour. We're left with just a bunch of boring people IMHO. The closest I come is liking Jack, who I feel has toned down his personality to blend in. I like Jack cause he has yet to say "like you know" once. But how do you root for people who make you lapse into a coma day in, night out? Now for my complaint. I said this before this BB started. I said it before the last BB started. If by some miracle I am sure I'll be saying it next year. For a show to have people be fans, there has to be someone to root for, and for reasons I have never fathomed Arnie repeatedly refuses to give us that. Last year at least we had Jason. But there isn't one player that I really REALLY want to see win. I would LOVE someone to root for. Pity they didn't cast any. |
Lurknomore | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 07:23 pm     ROLFMAO when this reloaded I saw your Banner post Laisey. TOO FUNNY. Pinky swear????????? |
Seanflynn2003 | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 07:40 pm     New pet peeves (really happy not to see any PROLLYs instead of PROBABLY this year -- thank you) People who write someone "could care less" when they mean "couldn't care less" -- could care less is the opposite Sorry, go back to all the great posts |
Sbeachy | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:16 pm     Here's what I REALLY want to complain about...they switched the schedule of comp's so that they no longer coincide with my days off!!! I'm off on Friday's and they did the food comp's on Friday's last year! The ONLY one that was usually allowed to be seen on the live feeds. This year I switched to hi-speed internet(from dial-up), and don't get to enjoy the only competition(and usually the most funny), that they show one the live feed's! Add to that, now that it is on TV on Tues & Weds, I had to book out earlier on those night's to make sure I get home in time to see it!! Don't trust my VCR programming talent's! Can I have a little sympathy Please???WAAAAA |
Costacat | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:27 pm     Sean, I feel your pain. I'm a writer, and you have no idea how often I wanna whip out my pink pen (I hate red pens!) and edit edit EDIT!!! Although I hafta admit, I just had fun poking fun at C1. And even had fun editing my poking fun! (If you catch my very arcane meaning!) |
Ezgoing | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:31 pm     All four feeds-- GRRR---Dana in kitchen with Robert and Justin, continuing her self-congratulations on her 'brilliant move', how she DEDUCED who should be nominated!! How are the guys keeping a straight face?! She just claimed that she knew all the time what they were up to! (Yeah, so you chose to be paranoid to throw them off, right?!) |
Ezgoing | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:33 pm     Sorry---more of the same, only Robert just called the others stupid! This from the team that were caught so off-guard by the "unanimous vote" they just knew was booting Erika out--too much! Now Dana says they got lucky, she liked them! (ya call THAT luck?!) |
Cricket | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:39 pm     Did anyone catch the startled look on her face when she was saying how the group of 8 decided to have an alliance and kick the ex'es out and they said "We did too.!" She just looked at both of them for a minute. Uh, duh, Dana, they are going to dump your butt, lol. |
Happycamper | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:47 pm     I want them to get rid of the hot tub...either that turn off the bubbles. I hate trying to hear what they are saying while in there. |
Misslibra | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:50 pm     I need to complain about Dana. Everytime I see and hear her on live feeds I think of Dan Ackroid and Jane Curtain on old Saturday Night Live when they use to do the news part of the show on there and what he would call her when she said something stupid. "Dana you ******** Sl** "!! |
Watching2 | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 10:04 pm     ROFL Milllibra, I concur! Her voice is getting to be like nails on a chalkboard for me. If she could just add more F-words into her sentences, she might be more interesting... LOLOL yeah right. I'd love to get into her dojo and give her some roundhouse kicks to her butt about now, and then she'd probably knock me on my butt and they'd be ringing the "knockout bell" even though that's not allowed in kickboxing.  |
