I have wondered this each year of BB. Why do the houseguests get all dressed up for the live show?

For the few minutes of TV time that they're actually on compared to all the footage of them without makeup, nice clothes, etc... Is it really worth all the work they put in each Wednesday night?

That's something I've always wondered about too... Maybe it's for morale....makes them feel better (Jack said that).

I asked this same question a couple of weeks ago. I don't think we ever came up with an answer. Seems really silly to me for them to do all this also.. we see them at their worst.. why bother with all the extra makeup and such on Wednesdays?

They don't seem to understand they are shown to be slobs way more often than 'dressed up' on the live show.

It's not all bad, soemtimes it feels good to get cleaned up and be presentable for a while.

Especially considering that most of the HGs wear the same plain old clothes most days of the week...

At least it's something to do

The producers encourage them to do so

They are in a house with the sames people for 3 months.. It gets really really really really boring. It is something to do instead of killing themselves.

I always ask myself this when I see them cleaning and getting ready. I suppose it is something to do.

It gives Justin's shorts a break.


The house has to be clean for live shows by the rule book.

I can understand those up for eviction dressing up because in some instances they will be reunited with loved ones and may want to look nice since they have probably embarrassed the whole family on tv. As for the rest of them I agree; it gives them something to do and look forward to.

I think it's nice that they look nice at least once a week. They all have "nice" outfits with them and otherwise they would never have the opportunity to get dressed up and look their best. They are not going to put on long shirts/pants and dresses just to go sit outside all day with nothing to do.

But Nate wasn't dressed up, he was wearing shorts and flip-flops...

yeah and Dave never dressed up, I think it's a ritual thing more than anythiing else. Helps them break up the monotony.

Nate was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a collar. Usually he is shirtless, in that horrific tie-dye shirt, that black t-shirt or some other kind of t-shirt. I think he wore shorts and flip-flops to make a statement.

Maybe they dress up because they are all vain?? *LOL*

Speaking of all dressing up.....has it ever occured to anyone that the hamsters always seem to have far more clothing available to them than could possibly fit into the bags they bring in the house with them?

Duncan, I believe they have suitcases brought in through the storage room. Not just those duffel bags they carry - the duffel bags are mostly for show. Before each eviction, the people on the block have to pack up their big suitcases and leave them in the storage room. When someone is evicted, BB takes their suitcase and relays it to them. The person who didn't get voted out later goes to the storage closet and unpacks their suitcase.

You mean y'all don't get dressed up for the live show? Here I thought we were supposed to! I do whatever the hamsters do:

They eat: I eat
They exercise: I exercise (Well..I stretch to losen up my numb-butt syndrome)
They shower: I shower
They sleep: I sleep
They get dress: I get dressed

Please don't tell me I am the only one!

Great one z-mom, yes I get out my tux every wednesday night just so I look good in the reflection of the TV.

Zachsmom: MY mom would have kicked me out of the house by now if I had spent the whole summer imitating the hamsters (AKA sitting on my butt, doing nothing).

Jee is the only one,IMO, who looks nice most of the time. I am so sick of seeing Jun in her string bikini and Erika in her pink.

The BB1 bunch never really got dressed up for live shows, in fact they did things like wearing the camoflage and the togas (or was the toga just George?). Only time I saw them dressed up (well some of them were anyway) was for the two BB roasts.

I used to do the exercise class with Dani last year if I was home at that time of day. Hubby thought I was weird.

As they were getting ready for this food comp, one in which they will be eating, I got up and brushed my teeth. :)
