HG Makeovers
TV ClubHouse: ARCHIVES: Big Brother USA 2003 General Discussions Part 1:
HG Makeovers
Penpoint | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:52 pm     The popularity of other reality shows such as Queer Eye, Extreme Makeovers, and What Not to Wear got me to thinking of what I'd do to make over some of the houseguests. Erika: Ban pink and any pastels from her wardrobe. With her coloring and personality, she should be wearing deep jewel tones--emerald green, saphire blue, and ruby red. Jack: Buzz cut the hair on his head. His current hair style is way out of date and doesn't match his innate sexiness. He should also grow a full beard. Nathan: He's got such a blond personality, he should have more blond highlights. Anyone else have any makeover suggestions for our houseguests? |
Sbeachy | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:03 pm     Justin; hair should be longer on top. Erika; LOOSE THE BLONDE HIGHLITES!!! She'd look better with some red highlight's, or just keep her natural color-she's got GREAT HAIR! Jee; Please don't let anyone else try to give him a haircut-Dave did the best job with his hard to cut hair!! Just let it grow the rest of his time in the house! Robert; just let Alli keep chopping it, it can only get better! Jack; layers, layers, layers....BUZZZZZ. Jun; stop playing with your hair while cooking! She has good hair and seems to know how to style to her best advantage. Alli; don't care for her, so NO ADVICE. Nate; lemon juice! Love his curls! (edit to add, I'm a hairdresser for 20 years, JMHO!) |
Tishala | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:17 pm     Ali: A bob,between her chin and shoulders, cut in a classic shape (i.e., angled toward her face). Blonder. Nose job. Jun: Chemical peel, maybe remove a couple moles on her face. Lipo on abs. a couple bold highlights in the hair. Jack: new glasses or lasic eye surgery. A hairstyle from one of the last couple decades--preferably one that gets rid of the back of his hair. Laser hair removal. Robert: Botox on smile lines. I can't figure his hair out. Maybe he needs some hair on his forehead; I don't know. Nathan: Allow top of hair to grow out a bit so it flops, but not so long that it loses the curl or dominates his face. Make back and sides more tailored. Justin: Let the hair grow in and make it spikier. Add some highlights to it to make it appear fuller. Fix ear. OK. Those are just my opinions, and I admit that I, like any Angelino, can be very shallow when the situation calls for it. |

Maris | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 09:23 am     Cosmetically: Jun - lose the Jackie O sunglasses, tummy tuck Erika - get the boobs lifted Jack - hair transplant Nathan, hair straightening and cut, grow body hair Robert - facial reconstruction Justin - speech therapy Alison - nose job Jee - get some cojones Personality: Jun - get a conscience Alison - get a conscience Robert - get an overhaul Jack - Geritol, wake up Nathan - anti discrimination workshop Erika - anti-discrimination workshop Jee - assertiveness training Justin - sensitivity training |
Laisey | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 09:26 am     Gotta go with Ginger on this one. |
Crazydog | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:29 am     Jack needs a shirt. |
Redhalo | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 04:47 pm     Jun-I think she is cute but she definitely needs to tighten up that body. Erika-I don't know how much she paid for those floatation devices but they are ugly. Very un-natural I think. But she does have beautiful hair. Ali-She needs a chemical peel or something...her skin and hair look very dried out. Jee-nice looking, needs a better haircut, and shoud stop smoking. Nate-he is cute and I too like his curls, but he looks too boyish. Maybe he should stop shaving all over. Justin-definitely let your hair grow. Just a little. Spike it. Jack-New glasses, CUT YOUR HAIR in the back. Robert-he has an odd face. Not ugly but odd. Looks like he needs eyebrows or something. But definitely he should get a nose job SO MAYBE THEN HE WILL LEAVE IT ALONE!!! |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 04:59 pm     Jun - just needs to smile more. She's pretty when she laughs. Erika - needs a stylist to help her find the right look. I think she could also ditch the pink..LOL Ali- new hair cut sounds like a good idea. Jack - just a trim. Robert - needs a new hairstyle and a nose job. (just to fix the crooked nose) Jee - I don't think he needs anything. Justin - more hair on top. I liked his hair before he shaved it. Nate - he doesn't need help with his looks, but he could use help in other areas. (Diversity training) |
Texasdeb | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 05:03 pm     Jun - diet/exercise, remove facial moles Erika - I'd get that wart thing by the eyebrow romoved. (not that it distracts from her good looks, but it could cause probs. in the future) Ali - the only thing I'd do with her nose is get it out of the air (the girl thinks her sh!t don't stink but everyone else's does). Jee - He's ok. Hey, the hair is not his fault! Nate - Nothing wrong with this cutie! Justin - dido w/Nate Jack - get a new hair style & contacts Robert - Do something with the hair & gain weight. |
Cricket | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:54 pm     What Not To Wear needs to get ahold of Jun and tell her to wear a one-piece bathing suit for gosh sakes. It would look so much nicer on her than the bikinis she wears. I don't love Erika's pink boots either. The hats she wears were made popular by Madonna this year I think, but they just don't seem to be the thing for a hot summer in Los Angeles. |
Misslibra | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:16 pm     I think she wears the hat to keep the sun out of her eyes when she is outside. After she come in the house it would be nice if she takes it off. I really dislike Erika's pink boots. So glad she has not wore them the last two evictions. I thought Erika look nice last wednesday by the way. If she has more bikini's with her I wish she would wear them instead of the poke-a-dot one all the time. I think Jun looks nice on eviction days. I also love how her hair looks on those days. the rest of the week it's a whole different story. Jun dresses like she is in the privacy of her home, no cameras, letting every nook and cranny hang out. Almost like she don't give a damn to be honset. Justin wears the same thing over and over. Don't see him change clothes much. The black socks need to go. Ali said today he hardly ever does his laundry. Good thing we don't have smell-a-feeds, because I sure that HOH Room be humming. Robert could use a whole nother body starting with his nose. Jee dresses ok. Jack could loose that red shirt of his. Ali dresses ok for her age and body type. And Nate dresses ok and looks ok. |
Beruthiel | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:27 pm     I love Erika's pink hat and boots because they show she's not obsessed with appearances and follows her own drummer, so I wouldn't make over that part of her, but I would teach her to be more cheerful! Jun should be taken aside and given a sharp quick lesson on how to dress and hide her non-assets - What Not to Wear would be perfect, Cricket! Robert requires emergency assistance in learning empathy and 'how to be a decent adult male'. Jun could do with some of the same lessons, LOL! Jee needs lessons on how not to be a follower of the crowd, and Justin needs to learn how to pick better friends. Allison needs some lessons in ethics and morals, while Nate should be taught that 'brawns' don't outrank brains in the business of living. Jack needs FBI listening devices to plant around the house so that his surveillance skills could be enhanced, and new glasses to open his eyes to the truth. He also needs to remember that experience in one walk of life doesn't always translate when the folks he has to deal with are ever so slightly barmy! |
Spwisc | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 01:17 pm     Ali Current haircut, nose job Erika Needs to put on 10 pounds and lighten the weight of her hair, maybe put a deeper color in it also Jun Nice hair and makeup when she's done up, just the tummy is like jello. Not that that's horrible but she should be wearing a more concealing/appealing swimsuit for her body. Jack Haircut haircut haircut!! Modern, up to date H a i r c u t ;) new hip glasses also! Jee He's perfect the way he is :D Justin looking just fine Nate Needs to keep the curly hair short Robert Good wash and trim, new styling without so many hair products |
Justboredwbb4 | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 02:38 pm     Beruthiel-you compliment Erika for not being obsessed with appearances and following her own drummer. Jun does the same thing. Just because Jun is not so much "eye candy" she shows a complete sense of being comfortable with who she is. I applaud them both on being the women that they are. One more real than the other but, still applaudable in my eye's. Allison-needs to learn to look away from the mirror every once in a while. Vanity, I think, is one of the 7 deadly sins. Brains Jee-way to nice. Needs to sharpen up. I like him though. His innocence is refreshing. Like his David hair cut Justin-no comment. But I do like how him and Jee interact. Brotherly Robert-Hope he is not trying to teach his child not to pick their nose. Jack-Is he just trying to throw things? Needs hair cut real bad. Nate-Hair cut, hair color, classes on how to treat women, classes on how to be successful in a social situation. Brains |
Cricket | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 04:35 pm     "Allison needs some lessons in ethics and morals, while Nate should be taught that 'brawns' don't outrank brains in the business of living." Amen, Beruthiel. Great post. Regarding Justin, yes, he needs a lot of help in the personal style of dress department. I still can't see Ali's almost 'fatal attraction' to him. He's just not all that...typical guy who doesn't really care how he looks. Sounds like he may be a bit of a slob too. Can't see many girls attracted to that. |
Penpoint | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 09:00 pm     Tonight's broadcast certainly pointed out that all the HGs see Erika as a fashion disaster. Her attempt at being J-Lo misses the mark. She needs our help. And the HGs pretty much agree that Justin is a slob. I realized his style sense was lacking when I first saw him in black socks with slides and shorts. |
Rachel | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 09:15 pm     Too bad we can't do the 'banners' anymore! I can picture them now. Plane blanner #1: Jack..get a haircut! #2: Jun..cover up! #3: Jee..grow your own personality! #4: Justin: your scalp is showing! #5: Robert: Get a klennex! #6: Nate: Grow up and be a man! #7: Erica: Get a color consultant! #8: Allison: The mirror cracks! |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 09:51 pm     Justbored... my problem with Jun is not what she wears but what she fails to wear! I noticed the comment on tonight's show about her cooking in her bikini. All I have to say is Eeeew! But of course you are quite right re them both being comfortable with themselves. I was simply trying to be lightehearted in keeping with the theme, LOL! I'd hazard a safe guess that none of us are without failings in some area of our lives. [As someone who's more like Jee than Justin, I would want my food prepared as far away from bosoms and bottoms as possible! ] And now I know what it is about Justin that put me off... another Eeeeuw! Reminds me of my kids... "But Mom, why do I hafta have a bath? I was just jumpin' in the creek/river/duck pond/swimming pool!"  |
Sia | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 11:06 pm     At least the hamsters don't seem to be sitting on the kitchen counters in their bikinis and shorts this year!! Ewwwww, remember our discussion last year about that? LOL! |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:21 am     Yes Sia, I do, and thank heaven for small mercies, LOL! |
Maris | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:37 am     Nathans habit of spitting everywhere grosses me out. |
Texasdeb | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 11:03 am     Jee's commenting about Justin's shorts smelling like a$$ were soooo funny. |
Marymary | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 11:19 am     I agree. That comment entertained me for a few minutes. I was trying to figure out how Jee came by his knowledge of that particular odor and the pictures in my mind were hilarious. |
Gina8642 | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:00 pm     Erika needs to get rid of the PINK obsession. It is not a good color on her. Why doesn't she ever try basic black?? I'm not going to ding her on her hair, she hasn't been able to see a stylist since June, her highlights are bleaching out from lack of professional care and too much sun exposure. Not a lot she can do about it in the house. She has a great body and a great face, I think she needs a consultant to help her out with her wardrobe choices. She also didn't seem to realize that she'd spend most of her time in casual comfortable clothes. Her only wardrobe choices are the pink pastel sweats (oh ick, ick, ick) or the blue pastel sweats (ick, ick, triple ick!!!) Anything else would be WONDERFUL! Jack - GET A HAIR CUT. Guliani finally got rid of his comb over, you can do it too!! (I hypothesize that the reason he sleeps like a corpse has nothing to do with FBI training, and everything to do with not disturbing the comb over. LOL) His clothes are not inspired, but they are not offensive either. Basic solid colors, they look fine on camera. He needs a few snappy shirts for live shows. Remember Gerry? - He really pulled it together with that snappy maroon shirt.) Nate - Pretty boy. Does well with his looks, usually picks good color and outfits to flatter his looks. I like the hair, if you have curls, why hide them? Alison - I think she dresses quite well and age appropriate. She actually looks quite sexy most of the time even though her build can look a little chunky in some outfits. She does a good job 95% of the time, by wearing clothes that flatter her figure. I also like her hair, also age appropriate. I was getting pretty sick of the blue bikini, but she's switched up some the last few days. I like that. Jun - Mixed reviews here. She lets a little too much hang out a little too often. Her color choices are usually good. The fishnet is revolting. I think her hair is beautiful and she wears it well most of the time. She brought a billion outfits, yet seems to wear just two pairs of shorts 90% of the time (indentical except for color, which the camera man seems very attached to, because we get WAY TOO MANY close ups of Jun's shorts, front and back. It is creepy!). I think part of her issues have to do with weight gain and quite a few of her outfits are probably too tight. She's working on her diet again, so maybe she'll be fitting into them again soon. Justin - he's a kid, he's a jock. He dresses like a kid and like a jock. His outfit last live show was quite sexy, so he knows how to dress it up when he needs to. I like the socks, because I'm the same way. They are a lot quiter than all those flip flops the rest are wearing. (I've noticed on the live feeds he is also an obsessivly neat folder, as neat as what they showed Jee doing on TV. Guess that didn't go with the dirty shorts story. Too bad his shorts don't have as much character as Dr. Will's did.) Jee - I think he is a snappy dresser. His hair is fine right now. I didn't like it so short that it looked like a buzz cut. Good looking guy, keep working on the six pack. Robert - Jun said he looked like her 12 year old cousin. That's about right. Dana - I know she's gone, but the HGs are still dinging her every day. I think she is the only one who put any thought into bringing lounge around clothes that looked GOOD. Her low slung sweats and little clingy tops made her look very sexy on an every day basis - not just the two hours on live night like the others. I also loved her eviction night outfit. Even though she was getting a little too skinny at the end, she looked great in a bikini. I didn't mind the hair on top of her head, but I understand why others didn't. She needed a greater variety of casual hair looks. Frankly I think she was quite feminine and found the man troll comments very offensive, especially coming from Erika who IMO comes off way more 'manish'. I guess all groups choose one kid in the play ground to pick on, right or wrong. |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 04:40 pm     After I'd watched my tape of the show last night, and really looked at what everyone was wearing, I thought it pretty hilarious how everyone jumped on Erika's fashion sense. The dress that Allie was wearing, in every DR shot it seemed like, some sort of black and white thing, was hideous on her, and Jun's bathing suits plus black string popover are positively ugly, while the boys...well, all they wear is trunks or shorts so how can one tell? What clinched it for me was the first segment showing Dana leaving the house last week. She was wearing a close-fitting patterned dress with a frill, or pleats, around the bottom. That style was 'in' in about 1962, when I wore a dress exactly like that for dancing, at age 17! And another point - there is so little to do in the house, and they aren't exactly going to dine at the Ritz every night, so why wouldn't they bring mostly casual clothes to wear? If all they can bring into the house is one bag, for three months, then of course they'll be seen wearing the same things over and over again, they have no choice. Which is why last year's shopping spree was such a big deal to the women. It's a pointed case of the pots calling the kettle black, IMHO! |
