Ryn | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 11:21 pm     Have you noticed that everyone seems less concerned about winning this year and more concerned about making the final 9? Justin just said all he wants is to get to that house in Cancuun - now he may be just talking to talk, but it is interesting that they are all looking forward to being sequestered. SO is it Cancuun? Thats the 1st time I have heard an actual place named and I wonder if they were told before they went in where they would go. |
Starr | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 11:40 pm     http://www.realitytvplanet.com/articles/article3285828.php this interview with AS only states that... “the last seven people who are evicted will be sequestered at a secret location where they will not have access to the show,” Shapiro says. Only those seven will decide the winner among the remaining two houseguests. Shapiro is hoping that sequestering the voting houseguests will encourage them to be more candid.. does not mention where they will be sequestered only that they will be sequestered..I did read somewhere but cant remember what site.. that there was a second house on the CBS lot..that the HG are gonna be in for a big suprise when they leave thinking they are going to some exotic island when actually they are only going next door..lol |
Laisey | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 11:50 pm     I recall a post where someone asked if anyone in the area could check to see if another house had been built on the CBS lot. I never saw an answer to that question and it wasn't long before I was reading the house was on the CBS lot. Actually something like Cancuun makes more sense. They probably are not going to keep them locked in a house like prisoners so they've found a place where they can go to the beach, etc. without too much chance of running into fans. |
Ryn | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 11:52 pm     yeah - this is all old news for me - I was just saying I have noticed the HGs attitude about getting out this year. I imagine it is very likely it will be in cancuun - like they did with Lori, Eric, etc - they kept them from keeping up on the show while still allowing them some freedom. Jee just said "we'll all end up in Mexico somewhere and just chill - lay on the beach, play some volleyball, etc. |
Azriel | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 06:47 am     Is it just me or does anyone else feel that if they sequester them all together that it will do nothing to stop the gang voting mentality at the end? I think they should all be sequestered seperately. Then nothing can color their voting, but their OWN feelings. |
Bohawkins | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 06:56 am     Sequestering together would give the opportunity of creating a separate show... sort of like the MTV real world or one of the other coupling shows. It might be worth a couple of nights of viewing. That footage could be worth millions to a producer. Surely it could be edited to be as valid and marketable as the "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" show. |
Lurknomore | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 09:49 am     And I still say they will get news from OTHER HG's as they get evicted (and come carrying grudges along with their luggage). I do think it will be interesting to see if they act differently (and show different personalities) when OUT of the house. We did read they were gonna show us footage from that house too correct? |
Kellirippa | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 09:56 am     There was another thread called How will Segregation work? They told me over there that in an article AS said there would be camera's in the 2nd house and that some of the footage would be used for broadcast. I wish that the 1st house could get live feed from the second house on the plasma screen. |
Kira33 | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 10:00 am     Azriel - I also feel it's a bad move, especially if they want to avoid what happened last time.... |
Kellirippa | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 10:02 am     This was posted by BRACKEN from an article at BB4BBQ: (in the HOW WILL SEGREGATION WORK? thread) The producers also decided this year to open up another house to sequester players who have been voted out of the "Big Brother" house, starting with the fifth banished houseguest. That way, the final group of seven players -- who ultimately return to pick the show's winner -- won't be swayed by what they see on the show. They'll be allowed to watch portions of what airs on the "Big Brother" telecast, but not segments from the "Diary Room" -- in which contestants reveal secrets about their strategy. Those isolated players will continue to be taped, with some footage from house No. 2 likely to be used on the show. "When they're in this house, they're still playing the game," Grodner said. Decision to keep sequestering the players came after last year's show, when producers felt that banished houseguest voters were swayed by watching the Diary Room comments. ========================================== |
Bmh | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 10:04 am     Ryn I think they all say that....Everybody's goal is to make the jury obviously.. But I think it's pretty clear none of them are giving up by any means of the imagination once they make the Final 9 |
Kellirippa | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 10:11 am     When Will K. won, he said what ever he bloody pleased in the DR and won anyway, without a sequestered jury. That same year, Nicole tried to use what she said in DR to play the jury, I think it's just another dimension to the game and sequestration isn't really necessary, jmho... OF course on the other hand, if they are all hoping to hang on and make the jury so that they can enjoy a free luxury vacation, it will be great to see the looks on their faces when they are escorted across the parking lot. |
Grannyg | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 10:37 am     That's the part I am dying to see. They think Cancun and it's just across the street!! Beaches, Beer and TV?????LOL |
Maris | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 10:46 am     I am with you there Kelli, they are all looking to make the final jury and not looking to win the game. They have all said, great collect 750 a week for doing nothing. Alison is the only one focussing on who she wants in the house with her on the final jury. She said there is no way she can tolerate Dana in sequestration. For that reason I want Dana to make it to the final Jury. Let Erika go now and Michelle go now, keep Dana. The sequestration house may end up being more enjoyable to watch than the BB house. No PB&J, no pressure, no need to be nice to each other and plenty of booze. |
Kellirippa | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 10:49 am     ...same sh**, different cage. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 11:06 am     Ali is certainly not the only one focussing..on who will be in sequestration. I've heard it repeated ad nauseum that "no one" (read Robert and those he's influenced) wants to be sequestered with Erika.. and I've heard others discuss how important it is to boot the right people early.. I've heard "Do you want JACK on the jury?".. that makes me just shake my head because I think Jack on the jury would actually not hold irrational grudges when he voted. I think Arnold should have kept it vague, saying "you MAY be obligated to stay away from your regular life for the run of the show, even should you be evicted" but not mentioned being sequestered together. |
Maris | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 11:31 am     I guess my point is that Alison makes the differentiation between who do you want on the Jury versus who do you want to get stuck in a house with for the duration. She does not want to be under the same roof as Dana and it isnt for strategic reasons. They dont want Jack on the Jury, it has nothing to do with sharing a house with him. I think Danas biggest problem is her accent which is what I said would get on everyones last nerve. She is loud, and has a very very strong NY accent which is grating. |
Wink | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 11:38 am     I don't mind her New York accent just every bloody word that comes out of her mouth using it. |
Beangirl | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 11:44 am     Well, Kelli, I think Will won because he had a pretty close group that he didn't say nearly as much about as the other people. I remember Hardy being mad abut the things he said. The Diary Room totally cost Danielle the game. The producers want them to say mean/funny things in there.I think it's a good idea |
Konamouse | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 12:05 pm     If last nights show is any indication of what is being said in the DR, then I wouldn't be so candid about personal assessments of other HG if I knew they were going to be seeing them. Sounds like the DR was asking the HG to make fun of the others (hence the hick comments about Nate, and how easily "pissed" Dana can get). Favorite line: Alison - "if you just think about her, she gets pissed". Priceless!!! 'squeek' |
Bracken | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 12:06 pm     I think the reason for a second house is twofold. One -- it does sequester the jurors in a tightly controlled environment -- and it's cheaper than sending them to a resort. Two -- and more importantly, as AS and AG have stated, they will probably provide footage of the second house for the show. Think back to past BB's -- even the last week with Nicole and Will was fairly boring. Having the second house to film will not only provide much needed footage of more than two people interacting, we should also get a chance to see the jurors strategizing about the vote, etc. Of course, we live feed addicts will probably still be bored that last week, but by then our homes will probably need a good cleaning, I know mine certainly will. lol |
Konamouse | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 12:52 pm     Oooh, good spec Bracken. I remember how boring it always gets even down to the last 4 hamsters. Being able to watch live feeds from the sequestered house should make it much more fun. |
Lostintheglades | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 01:16 pm     hmmmm...I know they'll show clips from the other house...but di you think we'll get feeds??? |
Chy | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 01:50 pm     THe footage might be fun, but I still rather if they were kept apart. Just as others who expressed the concern, I don't think it'd be fair if seven of them get to sit around and compare notes. |
Konamouse | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 01:55 pm     The worst thing about them all hanging out and comparing notes is the "resentment" they will have that "so and so" doesn't deserve to be in the final two and as usual, they pick the "lesser of two evils" because anyone who beats them at this game must be evil. Just ask Jee. According to him, because he laid his life on the line, everyone in the house should be watching his back. HAH!! 'squeek' |
