I was inspired by another post about original speeches, and I thought about it, and wondered how many OTHER un-original words are spoken in the Big Brother house every day.

1) It's nothing personal, It's just strategy.

2) I HAVE to win HoH next week.

3) I wish I never won HoH this week. (when life gets rough for the HoH)

4) I'm sorry I have to do this, but it's the GAME... (when nominations happen)

I'm too lazy to think of more, but hopefully everyone can think of a few to make us groan. Perhaps we can have someone keep a running count of how many times we hear our cliches throughout the season, much like the "um" counter in public speaking courses.

5) I'm GOING to win HOH next week.

6) I never tell lies.

7)I swear I won't put you up, if...

8)I don't care about the money.

9)I'm p*ssed orrff!

10)You're a wonderful person, I like you, but...

I've got your back.

We're a hit--everyone likes us, and we're the best hg's ever.

I hope you vote me out.

I may have been voted out, but I still have my integrity/principles, whatever.

Of course, put up whoever you want on the block -- I'll support you 100% -- I'm just saying, if you're smart, it should be...

Are you going to get some sun?
Have you done your back already?
Could you put lotion on me?
It's hot.
I can't believe how hot it is out here.
I'm bored.
Dude, can you spot me?
Yeah, dude.

'It's sooo hard putting the keys in.... I'm changing someone's life! Someone will have to leave this house because of my decision.'

'Whatever you decide, please know that I respect your decision. It's a game & I understand that.'

'You did what you had to do. I would have done the same.'

'He/she has to realize it's a game. I'm here playing for myself.
Of course you are... so am I. We all are. Except him/her.
Yeah, he/she is a loose cannon. We really need to take her/him out.
He/she is playing the game with emotion, and you just can't do that here.
Definitely. Welp, think I'm gonna go make out now with someone.
Good idea... I probably will too. I'm glad we had this talk though.
Yeah yeah, me too...'

"Did you get their word?"
"I guess your word means nothing."

Julie Chen to the outgoing HOH: "No one can hear us talking in here.. how was your week as HOH?"..
Cutaway to everyone standing in the Storage Room listening in... I know.. not quite cliche but funny if you can imagine it on tv.

I wonder what the internet geeks will think when they see this?

Think this will be on T.V.?

I wonder how the ratings are?

It's you and me in the final three.
Can you believe it's been [fill in #] days?
Are you getting in the hot tub?
So-and-so is evil.
So-and-so just made the stupidest mistake of his/her life.
Anyone being "on the block."
[Name of pet], you're better than the people in this house.
Julie's totally going to ask about that.
Nominating people is a huge responsibility.
If it were up to me, all of you would stay.
The Internet people are such losers.
I can't wait to be on Letterman.
I need some protein.

"They lied to my face" (and you to theirs)

"I thought we were friends" (in three weeks..pleeeeeeese!!)

"The money doesn't mean anything to me I came for the experience" (sure!!)

Julie Chan is he biggest cliche of all. This "plastic house plant" (as the Brits put it) is the worst thing about the USA Big Brother. What is really bad is that she has spanner four Big Brother shows.

At this point I would even accept Jamie (Julie's BB1 co-host for an eternally agonizing femtosecond) as a replacement for Julie...... on second thought...

"This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make..."
or
"This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make...in my whole life"

"You're an amazing person and I have so much respect for you..."

First, no wonder these people come for the experience if the hardest decision they've ever had to make is nominating a virtual stranger out of a pretend house so they can win half a million.

Some cliches are:

I never act like this in normal day to day life.

I would never do (fill in the blank) my family is watching.

I'm sure we'd totally be friends outside of the house he/she is cool but...

Before the sequestering began it was...

I'll just be happy to get out of this house and home to my family and friends, who know the real me.

And finally,
How much weight do you think I've lost? Are my muscles getting bigger, stomach getting flatter?

Dude, yo this is wack. I gotta win hoh this week. But I don't think I can. Maybe you can. One of us got to. I could. I have as much of a chance as anyone else. But I already won one. But that doesn't mean I can do it again. Actually it is better, cause I know I can do it cause I already did it. If I can just do it again, which I think I can't even thought I have a good chance. Dude? Dude? You awake?

You gotta respect the HOH and it's decision

I'm the best HOH ever

Why hasn't anyone made any deals with me in ___ minutes?

I'm playing the game with integrity <blech>

You shouldn't use the POV, must respect the HOH!!

Am I the only one who cleans up after themselves?

I'm nobody's puppet.. I think for myself...

and my personal favorite this year....

"I put my life on the line"
