Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:00 pm     oooohhhhh....I'm so excited!!! Please let this be some real excitement and not hype! |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:00 pm     This would explain why US BB4 is on in the UK as well |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:01 pm     Do they have to get visas? I dont know how easy it is to come to this country anymore. Dont think you can do it on the drop of a dime anymore. |
Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:02 pm     Maris, like they can't take care of that. Push some visas through for some multi-million dollar entertainment/media companies. I don't think it would be that hard for them. |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:03 pm     UK citizens don't need visas normally for tourist visits This mightcome under heading of work, but presumably BB took care of the details some time ago. |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:03 pm     Except that Arnie is a <LC>. Last year he probably put all those hgs in his relatives winter homes. |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:04 pm     It would be awfully funny though if they came in under tourist visas but then were seen on the feeds and the INS staged a raid! Now THAT would make the live feeds fun |
Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:05 pm     Just smile Maris! Be happy. hehehehe |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:07 pm     Rofl, or if they refused to leave and disappeared into LA somewhere, hiding out as bartenders at Bellys. Fast forward a month, Homeland Security Alert for escaped hamsters. |
Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:08 pm     ROFLMAO @ Maris |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:09 pm     More grist for the mill about why an ex-FBI agent is in the house.... |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:10 pm     he will be cleaning the pool as they make their escape. |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:14 pm     The clash of accents between the Brits and Nate should be fun |
Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:18 pm     An overhead shot of the game as Jun & Erika were clearing it and getting ready for next game...
 |
Charvie | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:21 pm     Erika just said they aren't playing GB. So it's a face off between em. |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:21 pm     John just told Erika they are not playing BBUK. He told her, you are thinking a little big arent you. |
Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:23 pm     No twist yet again. |
Wapland | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:26 pm     I just visited the UK site. It sure looks like they have much more interesting things for the hgs to keep busy doing. They call them weekly tasks. We definately need to have something like that here. BB1 did I think. John could be a task master.... |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:27 pm     Damn they shouldn't have shown the US BB in the UK -- they must have refused to come! |
Dan | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:48 pm     You guys are worst than the HGs themselves. You see new twists everywhere. I am sure this is only a new game the people from Endemol intend to market and they put the logo of BBUS and BBUK for marketing purposes. Something like the game played by BBUS and BBUK. It would be nice if some of our British friends could confirm that they played that game in BBUK. We will most probably see a yard version of this game next Saturday in a Luxury competition were, contrary to the HOH comp. They are not press for time. |
Dan | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:51 pm     I see from the capture above that this game requires 9 rows and 9 colomns plus the side tracks. How many squares are there in the yard? 8 by 8 like in a chess board? |
Cinder | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:54 pm     That is because we WANT a twist. Also, it was fun watching the HG's get excited. Some of this could also go under the "Delusions" threads for both us and the HG's. |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 09:45 pm     Actually, this game, Quoridor, has been around for a few years....It won "Game of the Year" in both MENSA and Games Magazine when it first came out in 1997, both pretty prestigious awards when it comes to board games..... here's some information about it: http://www.gamereport.com/tgr16/quoridor.html http://www.boardgamegeek.com/viewitem.php3?gameid=624 http://www.gigamic.com/jeuxanglais/quoridore.htm http://kumquat.com/cgi-kumquat/funagain/01060?G3dmajAx;;24 Also, this isn't the first game by this company that Arnie has used....This game was used last season for a food competition. http://www.gigamic.com/jeuxanglais/ballaste.htm |
Wendo | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 10:26 pm     Hey Wilsonatmd, thanks for posting the info about Quoridor. It looks like such a cool game. I wonder if there's a computer version; or online. Anyway, thanks a bunch. |
Tissy | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 06:22 am     It would be nice if some of our British friends could confirm that they played that game in BBUK. No the game wasnt played in the BBUK house. In fact they didnt have any games given them, no chess set,no playing cards, no gym equipment no b/ball. The UKbb hgs/hms had to create their own entertainment 95% of the time, which was pretty tedious Their weekly task was given to them on a Sunday to practise - and they were tested on Wednesdays. weekly tasks consisted: hand bell ringing, keeping a pedaloe at 60rpm constantly from sun - wed, superhero, equestrian - where to had to make their own horses and jump a course set for them, will try and remember more. |
