Maris | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:36 am     Laisey, Dana got the rule book last night to check about the sequestration and she told Robert the book said, they would be able to see the competitions and not the diary room. She was getting worried that she would be alone in a hotel room for two months and no access to other sequestered hgs. |
Bb234finalist | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:42 am     I HOPE THIS SECOND HOUSE IS TRUE....but, I for one hope it is like, "Dana, you are evicted from the BB house and you can choose to remain in the game by voting on the jury and move next door to our second Big Brother house (show house now with very minimal living conditions...i.e. JAIL type) or you may go home and end your Big Brother journey and watch from home like the viewers. WHICH WILL IT BE? I still think there should be NO OUTSIDE CONTACT, no tv, no phone...after all, they LOST the game, they are OUT, Big Brother doesn't need to pamper them by any means. Just my personal take on things... |
Bb234finalist | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:49 am     OKAY MY 2 CENTS AGAIN...THEY SHOULD SEE AND KNOW NOTHING. Let them talk among themselves in this "second house" only! Let them VOTE on who's theory they trust! Could you IMAGINE Dana voting for Jun to win after all that was said and done. Not only that, doing so will KEEP the alliances alive in the "second house" and cause drama and conflict in there...and WHAT IF it was Dana out, then next week Justin...meaning Dana and Justin alone living in a house for a week and then all of a sudden the NEXT week IN MOVES ALI! If this isn't the producers plan...it should be! Could you IMAGINE voting on your gut and being so way off...and them living together and then having Ali come in...or even if it was Dana then Ali, then Justin...no matter which combo it would make for a VERY interesting second house...more exciting than the first for sure! I'm done now, I've tried to stay quiet and uninvolved but I'll admit A. Productions has me QUITE curious of their plans...or lack of them is my fear. I hope this is going to be creative and good....time will tell. Bye! |
Laisey | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:53 am     Maris, thanks. BB234, There definitely is a 2nd house. AS has announced that to the press, but the existence of a 2nd house is all he has announced (other than no DRs). He refused to give any details about the house. |
Justin42 | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 10:06 am     I like the idea of linking plasma screens, but NO sound... for some time period each day (doesn't have to be 24 hours), the plasma screens become "live" and each house can see the other, they can try to communicate, but no audio. Watching messages try to get passed would be great. |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 01:31 pm     Well, wherever Dana ends up I hope they feed the poor child. Is it just my imagination or is she getting so skinny it's scary!!!! (and don't forget the camera adds 10 lbs.) |
Kaili | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 01:41 pm     You know that one BB where the house was split rich/poor? How funny would it be if the second house is created by splitting this house in half. The main part being split and each group (in game and evictees) having designated kitchen and bathroom times. I know it won't happen- but they would be living together without being able to have contact with each other. |
Jpgramma | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 01:41 pm     From one of Thunders livefeed posts (11:58 this morning) "R: what do sequestered people see? J: noms, veto comps, food comps, HOH, basically all comps and meetings. That's it. " So, it looks like they've already been told this. I'm reminded of last year, toward the end, when as a treat the HGs were given some edited versions of the show to watch. Bits taken from the show of the comps is pretty much all they were shown. |
Maris | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:27 pm     This just hit me today. They have all been told to pack their passports. They need to be in a house fitted with cameras and away from access to the television show. Maybe, they are being sent to the newly vacated BB house in the UK. No need to build a second set, it is sitting there, ready for use. |
Xarph | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:34 pm     They might give the first one or two sequesteries some time at a resort to avoid the cruelty of them having to live in the sequester house alone. They could then bring them altogether in the sequester house when there are three or four. This would explain the house being on the CBS lot and the need for them to have passports. |
Laisey | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:36 pm     Maris, Auntie thought of this sometime during the week before Dave left. I asked for some info from our UK members and was told the house would probably be available since it has been rented for functions in the past. I took the tour and think it is much nicer than the US house. I know another site is reporting as fact that the house is on the CBS lot, but who knows. |
Maris | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:38 pm     If I knew I didnt have a chance at winning the money, I would want to be out as early as possible. Who needs the stress and the PB&J. Sit back, do nothing and watch a few movies, earning $750 a week while you are at it. I would definitely prefer London to Mexico though. |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:48 pm     Xarph and Laisey, according to Digital Spy,a popular site for UKBB news, they are currently using the UK house for the next few days for a special BB with Teens (no evicitons apparently, no live coverage. This isn't a competition, it's just to see how teens work together in this particular situation...the shows will air early next year.) They might use it after the next person is evicted, if they decide to use it..but I'm thinking it might be they're going to put them in Mexico...close enough where they can bring them back quickly, but far enough away so that they probably won't accidentaly see anything they shouldn't. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:48 pm     Now that would be interesting. I hope it is the London house. |
R151996 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:54 pm     The vacant BB Mexico house--their latest series ended about a month ago--would be more convenient travel-wise than the UK house. BTW, BB UK will have its third different house in five years for the 2004 series. It's past time for CBS to completely reconstruct the US house. Design flaws such as storage room next to diary room, etc., could be eliminated.. |
Laisey | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:02 pm     Just idle curiosity, but are passports required for Mexico? And on the flip side of the coin, if the house is on the CBS lot, I wonder if they put in a pool or hot tub. |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:04 pm     Nope, passports are not required for Mexico. You just need proof of US citizenship and photo ID. A passport makes returning from Mexico easier, though. Proof of citizenship includes a copy of a birth cert, btw. Edited to add: Maybe I should be clearer. If you are a US citizen, you do not need a passport for entry into Mexico. You DO need proof of citizenship, though (and a driver's license doesn't work, although it does work for photo ID). And, more often than not, you don't get asked to show this when going INTO Mexico (at least, into Baja California) but you WILL get asked for proof when returning to the States. |
Cricket | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:32 pm     It's probably kind of a moot point at this time to even sequester these players. Everyone already knows the others' game plans. If they are all together, someone is going to sway the majority of the players, rather than have individual or even 'team side' voting. |
Maris | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:35 pm     Does anyone know if the evicted Houseguest is allowed to tell previously evicted HGs about what went on in the house. I cant wait for Alison to get out and tell Dana what Jun has said about her. Wait till Nathan finds out what Alison has been saying about him. The sequestration house might be more interesting because they have nothing to lose and will be trying to campaign for their team players. |
Seanflynn2003 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:39 pm     Costacat To keep Americans from getting into problems, you do need either a passport or original birth certificate to go beyond the border areas in Mexico, or if you arrive by air. Mexican authorities make it easy to cross without checking, but because all the border cities are in the middle of the desert with miles of emptiness beyond, their document check points are a few miles inland on the highways heading south. At that point the documents are needed. And these days, not having them for US customs is a ticket to trouble. |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:43 pm     Um, actually, that's what I said -- proof of citizenship, which INCLUDES a (certified) copy of a birth certificate (you don't need the original). And I live a half hour from a border city. Lots of people on both sides here. No miles of emptiness. So not ALL border cities have checkpoints miles away. You can occasionally get asked to prove citizenship on the way into Mexico, but it's very rare heading south. Nine times out of ten, they will just wave you thru... |
Seanflynn2003 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:48 pm     No problem -- I mentioned it because some people think voter registration or social security card qualify as proof of citizenship, and they don't I've passed over the border at 4 points from the Arizona and California sides, and it's always been through a turnstile with no checking |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 04:58 pm     For more info on travel into and out of Mexico, see Consular Information Sheet: Mexico. |
Seanflynn2003 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 05:02 pm     If Nate is sent there, will people here ask if he's a Mexisexual? |
Sherbabe | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 08:05 pm     Last year when Amy, Tanya, and the other girl were sequestered, they were seperated from each other. How can they be all put in 1 house now. Doesn't make sense to me. |
