Laisey I forgot about veggie baseball!!! Thanks for the :). There were a LOT of good memories with BB1.

Keiffer, I know you can't wrap around this (the same way I just can't wrap around anyone actually liking Shannon or Chiara), but some of us really, truly liked Curtis and got a lot of pleasure out of watching him. I can honestly say I would rather watch reruns of the BB1 feeds than what is on now.

But my biggest :) here came from Kelli...I may have to hunt down the best poster quote for this one:
"Welcome to Eddie's world, it's a "bleepin" day in the neighborhood!" LOLOL. Just don't forget he would have followed it up with "HATERS." Boy he should see them NOW...it would fit so much better lol

Oh yet again those brain cells lapsed into a coma while I was trying to use them...that's so annoying. Laisey I also meant to say you hit the nail on the head that at least the BB1 group TRIED to amuse themselves, from the baseball, to George's multiple antics, to the hose water commercials, to the song (ok it was a BB assignment but it was fun), and so on. Even BB2 did the dance thingie. The rest just lay back and tan when they are not backstabbing or switching alliances. Gee (NOT JEE lol) that makes for some fun feed watching. Of course we did have those 30 seconds of dance (if you can call it that) from Ali and Erika yesterday.

It's been so boring I've been (don't anyone yell at me) cleaning my house! That has NEVER happened during a BB...NEVER! Doesn't happen that much not during BB either lolol.

I didn't find BB1 boring, I loved it. Loved watching Eddie talkin' to the cams and the chickens. Loved the way Eddie/Josh and Curtis interacted. And Joshie's dance made the whole year worth watchng :)

Lurk, remember how little BB did actually give them for amusement (other than challenges). They had a football, but I think it was Josh who brought that. Jordan brought the pool float and was told to take it with her when she left; BB did break down later and give them one. There was no workout area, no basketball court, and no hot tub. All-in-all, I'd say they were far more inventive than any other BB HGs.

one word...

banners

Ericzj, I was just thinking about them. I always thought the banners gave it more a Big Brother is watching feel, and we were Big Brother. And I don't believe one of those HGs ever referred to us as nerds, geeks, or thought we were fat.

There's nothing like a pleasant stroll down memory lane.

I'm sure there are people still here that remember the toilet paper incident? The "angels" that were from this group who went to the BB house and threw toilet paper over the wall when the houseguests ran out and BB refused to get them any before their grocery day! ugh. That was incredible! lol

Mentioning Josh's dancing really made me smile. What was it that they were into that last night when there was blue everywhere--blue handprints on the walls and blue all over Josh?? Was that paint? Or was that hair dye?? lol that was so hilarious!

And yeah, Lurk, I agree that Curtis was funny. I loved the interraction between the 3--Eddie, Josh and Curtis.

Smokey, it was the last night or next to the last night, there was plenty of beer provided and they dyed Josh's hair blue. It was definitely one the better nights.

I thought it was the next to last night. I watched it and it was one of the funniest things ever on BB. Thanks, Laisey. :)

Smokey, I agree and they did it all themselves with no help from BB.

I haven't romanticized BB1 - it was just plain fun and funny - most of the HG really weren't playing the game - they were trying to get through - having or not relationships - Curtis my all time favorite - rememebr the week of staionary bike riding? or the domino thing they had to do - some of those weekly projects were interesting - now the HGs just play the game and it isn't as ineresting even if the HGs were interesting which they seem not to be for the msot part - ah well - things change -

They could sing without being censored (or FOTH'd)! Remember Chicken George CLUCKING "Limbo Rock" while vacuuming the rug with that little sweeper? Bet CBS seethed when his clucking resulted in their having to fork over a huge royalty check to somebody.

Guileless? They really were, while we, the viewers, spotted conspiracy lurking around every corner. Remember how sure we were that when George had that telephone call with his wife, they were speaking in code? George asked his wife, "is everything going according to plan?" (After Brittany's eviction.)

Later on, George laughingly said, "by plan, I meant did the guys come and rake the yard, like we PLANNED before the show!"

I LOVE walking down memory lane!

Lilsis, I had forgotten about the phone call and the conclusion that his wife was continuing to have the whole town vote and George was telling her who to vote against by pointing to HG pictures at a certain time each night.

How sad is this...I swear I'm having more fun reading these posts and remembering things about BB1 than I have for every second of this season (David AND Jack included).

and you don't call that romanticizing?....makes me say hmmmmm....

Lurknomore

NO...romanticizing is daydreaming and making things that WEREN'T or AREN'T...ie I would be romanticizing if I were to wistfully say how much fun it's going to be watching the feeds tonight. I've also heard it used when folks remember things better than they were. These are REAL memories of REAL fun we had here watching REAL people. They are great memories! And personally I find them more amusing than this YAWN of a reality.

Not quite Lurk, real romaticizing would be if you told us Curtis was coming for dinner tomorrow. I think Real is the operative word. We really got to know those HGs as people. We knew about their lives and families and they were the type of people you might actually know. So many in the casts of later BBs seemed just that, cast members.

I believe romanticizing to mean glorifying a past event to have been more than it was in actual fact. I think possibly many viewers found it more fun because it was new to them, the viewer. I also think that TVCH makes BB more interesting and that too would have been new to most during that time. I did not find Curtis particularly amusing and the character that George portrayed himself to be was nothing more than a boob. That is my opinion...

However, this thread is not a BB1 or BB4 love fest, it is saying that all the interesting characters were gone at the end of BB1 and that all the interesting characters are soon to be gone from BB4. (Because none of these people were particularly interesting to begin with, not unlike the BB1 cast, I do not necessarily agree on that point, the ones left standing are every bit as interesting as the ones who have been shown the door.)

And not in a good Disney kind of "cast member" way. BTW Laisey...your not really said just what I did LOLOL (daydreaming things there weren't are aren't...unless you got Curtis coming for dinner--with his fiancee--then we said the same thing hun :) )

Lurknomore

Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 09:31 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Well Kelli, since some of us here seem to think that all the interesting people did NOT leave BB1 in the beginning, and are explaining (through fond memories and examples) why, we are still quite on topic of this thread.

Lurk, Curtis with no fiancee -- Now would'nt that be much better and a lot more fun than watching the feeds tonight?

Kellirippa

Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 09:35 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
...ok, Lurk, my only point is that I just can never understand why so many people remember Curtis, Eddie, Josh and co. skipping down a sunny road, with animated blue birds carrying flowers with ribbons, singing zipity doo da!
