Trinity63 | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 09:29 am     I have heard little snippets here and there scattered throughout HG conversations about "It would be better to go vent it in the diary room" or "take it to the diary room" Is this their place to just go talk about loud or with a staff member of BB if they are frustrated angry, or upset, and need a place to work out issues that they don't want to on camera in front of America? Can they just go in there any time they want? |
Puzzled | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 09:44 am     Yes, I think they can. It's a good way to blow off steam without making hamster enemies. |
Trinity63 | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 09:47 am     hamster enemies? |
Spunky | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 09:55 am     But the "Danielle" exemple last year, scared them off and they are more guarded this time, it's silly since they wouldn't see the DR entries this time until after the game is over. |
Puzzled | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 09:57 am     If you blow up at a fellow hamster, you've made an enemy. :D |
Mizinvanccouver | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 10:05 am     Ya, I agree with Spunky that they are now nervous about what they say in there because of Danielle last year in the DR. Kind of a shame for them because now they have no safe place to vent. Oh well, maybe one of them will explode from all the stuffed emotions and give us some good entertainment!! lol

Kailas | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 08:20 pm     Another question about the diary room....... I saw Erika standing very still with her ear to the wall next to the diary room door on live feeds a bit ago (when Justin was called in). Then, immediately, FOTH came on and stayed for a long time. Is eavesdropping allowed? Can she hear anything? Has anyone heard anything about it in conversations. I know in BBI someone always stayed close to a wall where he could hear DR convos. It was later discovered by the other HGs and discussed. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Unlike with Danielle, these HGs will not get to see any DR comments until after the entire show is over. They won't see anything while in sequester. I've heard many HGs over the seasons talk about being able to hear folks talking in the DR. Most have said they can hear them talking, but can't really make out any words. Eavesdropping in any location does not appear to be against the rules. |
Niceguy | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 09:50 pm     Maybe that is one of the points about the game is that there is no safety valve to vent. In other countries contestants opt to leave all the time. I wish it were more like that here. |
Shoegalnj | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 06:36 am     They should have the DR set up like they do in Real World on MTV. Go in when you feel like it. |
Spygirl | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 07:46 am     I think that is the way it it set up now. |
John32070 | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 11:49 am     Don't know about the DR, but I know someone in the HOH room can hear conversation in the storage room if it's loud enough, saw that the first week of BB2 and saw Lisa listening to conversation in there last year one of the times she was HOH. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 01:02 pm     In RW they go in and talk to a camera, so it is available all the time, but on BB the DR includes a hidden live person so they have to ask first, but pretty often if they ask, a person will come. They can ask for Dr Alex (female) to talk to them and several have mentioned that too. |
Kailas | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 08:59 am     I believe it was in one of the bedrooms that the guy would lay on the bed for hours and listen to DR conversations. Can't remember his name, but BB1. After he was evicted the other HG discovered his secret. |
Whit4you | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 10:27 am     I thought he was listening to the discussions in the storage room not diary room? The DR has double doors so doubt you could hear much convo even if you can hear mumble mumble mumble. |
