From the feeds, it sure sounds like Erika and Robert know someone (a male) from the first season.

Saw this posted over at Sucks. Links to the forum on Josh's site where a 2/21/03 thread about his birthday makes references to an "Erika" helping him celebrate.

Happy Birthday Josh

I didn't watch the first season, so I don't know Josh. These are things I've heard Erika say about the guy she's been dating - do they match?

-He's a few years younger than her.

-He's a civil engineer.

-His lips are generous.

Another mention of Erika on that forum:

Josh/Erika Forum Post

The pictures mentioned in that post seem to be suspiciously gone from the site

I remember from BB1 Josh saying he was majoring in engineering in college and was planning on going back to finish. I definitely think it's him. GOOD JOB to all the great detectives!! You guys got this before the Smoking gun!! :)

Anyone else whizzed off that we almost could have had Josh back in the house instead of Robert?

Wow, good catch everyone. I guess that explains why Erika decided to do Big Brother. Her boyfriend did it first. Interesting.

(How much did Josh win anyway??? I don't remember.)

Cross, apparently they're not ex's so, he wouldn't have been on.

Yep, I was careful to add an 'almost' to my entry. :)

Soooo.....Is Erika one of those who was recruited, scouted, or did Mr. Souza whisper in someones ear?

I hope I do this correctly http://realitystars.com/Stars/JSouza/Profile/jsouzaprofile.html

The 3rd paragraph down mentions co-creators of a new show. One of them is Landin. Isn't that Erika's last name?

Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:19 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yep, that would be her.

I think Erika said her boyfriend's father died when he was 13. Does this fit?

Josh's Big Brother 4 Commentary - July 23
By Josh Souza, Big Brother 2000
Jul 23, 2003, 10:26


CBS has become about as tricky as a 3rd grade student pulling a rabbit out of a hat in the class magic show. Year after year they expect us to believe that the person they portray as getting the boot, actually is going to get evicted. So Jee decides to nominate Erika and Michelle (the moronic move of the year…more on that later). We are then led to believe that Erika will be ousted in a unanimous vote. Wrong. Anyone that has watched more than two episodes of seasons 2, 3, or 4 could clearly see that Erika is a studied student of the game while Michelle is a young kid, that was thrown onto a TV show shortly after getting her drivers license. While Michelle spent the week crying about her innocence while sleeping in Nathan's bed, Erika and her allies convinced the rest of the house that straying from the original pact of an Elite 8 would be a fatal mistake. Thus, on Wednesday, I expect to see a vote of 6 to 2 with Michelle leaving and Robert and Justin scrambling to get the HOH.



Jee, Jee, Jee…(ok, now I sound like American Idol's Randy Jackson). Jee, Robert, and Justin were convinced that Michelle would be safe this week. They failed to realize that 9 times out of 10 the decoy leaves. Perhaps they were misled by the rare event that it didn’t happen last week when Amanda was booted instead of Jee. Nominating Jack and Erika at once was the obvious move. The group of morons even pondered the idea of evicting Dana, the one person they might have been able to acquire from the Elite 8. I think this group is starting to think with the head that lacks a pair of ears.



Nathan and Alison have continued to entertain us with what Dana called, "The grossest game of cat and mouse I've ever seen." They've now been in the house less than 3 weeks and their midnight kisses and daytime boxing matches are bound to turn into something that would make Dave and Amanda blush.



The Veto competition saw the coming of a new backyard built by the Fantasy Island crew. Jack called his evil duck, "Precious". It must get mighty lonely in that house, even for a retired FBI agent. Erika informed us that she was not "genetically predisposed to duck throwing." Whatever her genes may lack in duck throwing, they have more than made up for in other areas. David, upon winning the competition decided to keep the previously mentioned 3 boy morons in the dark. At that point I'm sure he was convinced there was no need to save Erika and at the same time he didn't completely reveal any alliance. This move was smoother than …..oh I don't know….you fill in the blank.



Alison and Michelle turned last year's peanut butter bikinis into this year's lettuce and tomato bikinis. Even Jack said, "I was thinking, this is good." I'm sure the boys of the house found salad to be their meal of choice for the night.



So now, the question of the hour becomes: What will kill the show first? Will it be Nate's country bumpkin sayings, Dana's need for Prozac, or Jun's nail painting business? You decide.



Entertainers of the Episode: Erika, Jack, Dave

Duds of the Episode: Robert, Alison, Justin

Okay, I haven't read this entire thread so this may have already been talked about. Wasn't Erika talking about her boyfriend losing his mother when he was young, 13 or so? And if I remember correctly, there was talk of Josh's mother dying when he was young. Thing that make you go hmmmmmm.

Erika has said she applied to the show. Also, since Josh was part of BB1, I doubt he has any connections to the show as it is now. Arnie never even refers to the first season of BB1 because he didn't do it and it was considered such a failure (as a tv show.)

I think she did it because Josh did it. Why not.

Big secret for sure.

On second thought, Erica mentioned her boyfriend's mother (not father) died when he was 13 and he had to grow up fast, so seems older than he is.

From a Josh profile:

Josh has a close relationship with his sister Melanie and brother-in-law Brad, Aunt Susie, stepparents Buck and Kathie, and his father Richard. His three year old niece Kiara is the love of his life.

No mention of mother. :(
