TV ClubHouse: ARCHIVES: Big Brother USA 2003 General Discussions Part 1: Would you care if the summaries ended now?: Archive through August 22, 2003

I'm not saying I'm going to stop writing them, but you have to admit that the info is readily available in the Discussion section and the LFPs. I think as the show progresses, interest in the outcome wanes as people's favorites are voted out, and maybe the summaries lose the value they had at the beginning of the season.

And that's okay! If it's true, it would give me an excuse to call it a day this time out and start spending more time on "respectable" pursuits. :)

I think once the excitement of the new cast dies down, most of you probably minimize the time you spend reading about them; therefore, my droning on about puppets and peanut butter would be quickly lopped off of your To Do list - even more so since this group hasn't enthralled us like the ones before them.

So, what say ye?

ps I promise this has nothing to do with Nate being voted out. Okay, maybe a little :)

OMG, Bunny, please don't stop!!!! I will post my VISA number for direct withdrawal -- or anything else you might want or need. I know I speak for everyone who values your humor and superb crafting. Don't let bad casting lead you to believe your summaries aren't as important to us.

C'mon, I laughed harder at Nate's Cheerio hair than I did at The Contest episode of Seinfeld!

Reading the LFP and summaries are not the same as reading Bunny!

Are you swamped? Does this take up too much of your time? We understand but we can't live without you.....

Bunny - It is with a sad heart that I write this to you! I would ABSOLUTELY miss your summaries! They are STILL the most 'looked-for' part of my day, and the best thing about the BB season. The reason I'm sad is that I don't think you are enjoying them anymore. Your time and your talent should not be wasted, and if you would prefer to discontinue them, I would certainly miss you, but I would also understand. This does take loads of time, and for little reward. I LOVE your insights, I laugh daily at your truisms and observations, and I look for the recaps probably hourly until they are posted. I haven't always been faithful in appreciation - I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed myself with the beginning of the new school year, but that just shows how selfish I am! You spend HOURS writing these, and I can't spend 10 minutes thanking you for it? Yes, I would miss you greatly! Yes, I'll understand if you stop. Yes, we'll all be the poorer for it without you. But YES, you need to do what's best for you! Thanks so much for everything! I am a fan forever!

Your summaries are very much appreciated by me so to answer you question, yes I would miss them if they ended now.

Bunny: I've only read your summaries maybe once or twice over the years. But judging by posters reactions, it would seem you have a great talent. IMO, I'd say, because this season has proven to be so lackluster and you have had ample time to hone your writing skills, it is time for you to pursue other writing gigs.

I'm sure people will be sad to see them end, but my guess is they will be just as happy to know you are achieving success beyond this Web site.

Are you kidding? You're better than the show. Sure we can get the "facts" from live feeds and that, but no one, no one, can top your slant on this crazy game.

Oh, Bunny, please don't stop regaling us with your summaries!

--- internet access: $24.95

--- computer: $1,200.

--- Bunny's summaries: Priceless!

I look forward to your witty take on the BB goings-on and savor your missives as I would fine wine (or actually, Citrona). Please try to muster the strength and determination to see us through this darkest of BB offerings. Be our guiding spirit; continue to spread joy throughout BB-TVCH-land. We shall be forever grateful!

I adore Bunny summaries. But if Bunny is busy, perhaps she could just do a few days a week and utilize subs.

Or maybe Bunny could summarize a few days into one summary.

Whatever works. We have been blessed with her rare bit... oops I meant wit.

If it is in Bunny's best interest to pursue other things right now then we should support her.

But nothing can stop us from hop(p)ing for as much Bunny as her schedule permits.

A Fan

While these summaries are well written and quite entertaining, you have accomplished enough. You can, without any doing anything remiss, pass the tasks on to others with the thanks and blessings of everyone who has enjoyed them. My guess is that you have exhausted your will to continue this project, and when that happens to a writer it is a good signal that you are really ready to put your energies to work on other writing efforts.

I can assure you that when that feeling takes over it is often because you have a sense that you could be spending the same energies on something of greater significance. Most likely it is time to move on. I believe that you have something wonderful to contribute, maybe a novel, maybe a column somewhere. Use what you have done as your credentials and move on to greater things.

Bunny, please don't stop, I love your summaries....they are the only ones I read. You are what makes the show interesting, specially this year when that show is so BORING. Please don't go!

NO... But I never read them anyway :)

I think Bunny does a great job I don't blame her if she wants to get out.

I don't read them. (why did I post that?) I have no idea.

Bunny,

It's ok with me either way, while I've enjoyed them and think it's soooo cool that they were mentioned in a paper that's read all over the world... I totally understand the lack of drive to do them. I feel the same about the live feeds this year, why type till my fingers hurt only to read post after post after post of people professing they aren't interested in this years BB. Though I have to imagine there are alot of lurkers who are enjoying this years show and your summeries, but few have the interest or energy to sign up to counteract the majority of posters this year who aren't interested in or enjoying the show this year. There are some who do really enjoy this years show and love your summaries - and as I said probably a few hundred lurkers who are enjoying it so my advice would be to take a few weeks off - that might give you a break long enough to enjoy doing them again.

HUG*

Oh and I have a suggestion for you - maybe you could write one like a dream sequence.. (you know what you'd LIKE to see happen.... write it as if it really is happening like you normally write them and at the end ... wake up.. that'd be an awesome read)

I'm a lurker. I love the summaries! Thanks so much for writing them!! I would certainly miss them but would understand if you took a break.

If Bunny stopped writing her summaries I would be pissed!! (I miss Dana!)

I KNOW there are way more people reading Bunny's summaries than have posted in here(I have 4 non TVCH members that look forward to them!! and a 5th person that doesn't even watch BB but ROTF every time she reads one!!)
Sooooo, if you read them let Bunny know!!! She takes the time to write them, you can take a minute to let her know you read them.

And I can't beleive people are posting in here that they don't read them, I'm not Bunny, but that hurt MY feelings!!!!!!!

Absolutely Pamy - I just got through leaving Bunny a note in her box that apologized for those people who felt the need to be hurtful! I was upset as well!

And yes, I too share Bunny's commentaries with several people who don't have the internet but love the insight she shares.

I am well aware that Bunny uses subs. To my knowledge she always has. And I applaud the subs for the effort. Bunny is a tough act to follow. As I talked about in another thread, she has "it".
