Cinder | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:25 pm     What is this new game. The HG's have figured out they are playing against Great Britain. |
Spunky | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:28 pm     apparently it's something like this: the rules of this game are posted here http://www.gigamic.com/regles/anglais/rquoridore.htm there will be a contest between the UK and the USA. |
Cinder | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:29 pm     HMM- they think British HG's are still in the house. |
Wapland | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:30 pm     I thought bbuk 4 had a winner already? Their 'housing' is over. Give Dana enough time and she'll figure she is going to be sequestered in the UK and emceeing the game!!!!! |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:30 pm     I guess BB didnt tell them that BBUK ended already. lol. They are guessing they are playing UK. They read the board and under the bbUS label was written BBUK so they started squealing. Now BB told them this was a game for a competition. I am guessing it is going to be set up in the yard with real fences and they will be the pawns. Apparently, this group cant make the stretch. The only one saying I dont think you are playing UK is Dana. |
Cameltoes | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:30 pm     Well, I predict right now that the US HGs will lose. Edited: ah, thanks for clarifying Maris. I missed that part of the convo. Too bad. it would have been fun if they did play another country's hampsters. |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:31 pm     Cool! |
Wapland | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:33 pm     Oh yeah.......Erica just said "maybe they are coming here!" and Jun squealed "oh yeah, fresh meat!" It is unbelievable how one idea can grow into this huge event. They are saying they will be playing on one big computer screen via satelitte!!!!!!! |
Charvie | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:34 pm     I think this is the twist for hoh. there won't be an hoh because of this game. It will be a free week. |
Familyof4 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:37 pm     they are so off! its going to be 4 against 4 ,africa bb is the only other bb running at this time. it'll be hg against hg usa |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:38 pm     They got to practice last weeks HOH too with the bottles and the balls. I think it is just another competition and Arnie was too cheap to print up fresh boards. Nate thinks that BB is going to bring in ten computers so they can all play. Dream on Nathan. |
Cinder | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:39 pm     I am liking Jun more and more. Ali asked if other country's BB's were as popular as the USA. Jun said we are all so full of ourselves we always think we are the best. |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:42 pm     Cinder, you and me both |
Wapland | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:42 pm     Jun is glad that it is some kind of 'brain game' because she is afraid 'they are going dumb' .......sorry Jun, too late! |
R151996 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:43 pm     BB Colombia also started last week, but that is the only other active BB besides ours and Africa. |
Jpgramma | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:50 pm     Why are they so sure they'll be playing another country's BB cast? Has BB told them this? If not, why aren't they assuming they'll be playing each other on the checkerboard that's in the BY? someone with livefeeds, did BB tell them this? |
Bastable | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:52 pm     Erika was the only HG who seemed to be aware of the possiblity that BB UK was over. She knew its HMs went in before they did, and she seemed like she was about to say it might be over by now, but she stopped herself. |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:53 pm     nobody told them. From what I understand, under the BBUK logo is on the board and they made the stretch from playing a game arnie was too cheap to print up for the US to we will be playing the UK team. I think they will be playing each other on the checkerboard or something like it in the yard. |
Cinder | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:53 pm     JPgramma- there is something written on the instructions that led them to this conclusion. Somewhere I think it says BBUK. |
Wapland | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:54 pm     The rules sheet had BB4 USA and BB4 UK at the top. They assumed it meant that they would be playing one another. BB4 UK is OVER |
Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:56 pm     But how does that stop someone from BBUK coming in? (assuming they're controlled for things (like publicity) just like our hamsters after the game is over....) I think it could be a possibility. Just no telling who from BBUK could come in...???? edited to add: could not just be 'someone' from BBUK but could be a group in size equal to our BBUS (I'm assuming they're all controlled by contracts just like our hamsters are.) |
Haerpino | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:57 pm     I read on mortystv.com that Erika went into the Diary Room to ask if they were playing BB UK but they would not say yes or no. I have no idea what comp this could be for, it seems too early for POV and seems like it would take too long for HOH. |
Charvie | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:57 pm     But they could be playing the people from bbuk and they are flying them here to play. Remember we are due for a twist and this would be a good one. And they mentioned that the Survivor cast had come in and played them. |
Jpgramma | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:58 pm     thank you all. I can understand then why they're excired. I do wish they'd entertain the possibility that they may just be playing against each other though, and start practicing! Hope they're not assuming too much. but..if it IS the UK cast, why not the final 4 since it's over? |
Cinder | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:59 pm     I know Erika said she was going to go ask- but not quite sure if she actually did. She did not seem to be gone very long. Maybe a minute tops. |
