I know that the Letterman delusion has been mentioned and discussed here several times. But, last night again they were going on about things they would do on Letterman. One was saying they would say crazy disrespectful things to Dave sort of like Madonna did when she was on.

Makes me wonder if the producers haven't told them try to say weird things about Letterman to try to egg Dave into having them on.

No way. Everyone at CBS knows that Letterman is his own man. He even required all Survivor losers to only appear in the deli next door--never in the studio itself. CBS is lucky to get even that. It would never sanction any show that told potential guests to annoy Dave. Wouldn't happen.

And you think that each show's day by day actions and the machinations of the producers have to have some kind of CBS "sanction?" I think they have the same kind of autonomy that Dave does. Dave's disrepect (however feigned) for management makes him fair game for friendly taunting, exposing himself for a "turn about is fair play" kind of move by BB. He has ignored BB and even made jabs at them. I can easily see them contriving some kind of "goof" like I mentioned.

i still can't get over how they really think there are separate internet cameras!

some of these people researched the show - for years - so are they just PRETENDING to believe there are "internet cameras" to screw with their fellow hgs or what?

hahahaha Listen to Dave and Robert planning their futures after BB. Dave is all worried about all the calls and offers he's going to get, how he'll have to screen them. Their families will all be able to quit work when their careers take off. Not to mention all the babes who will be after them! Unbelievable!

The delusion that because they are in a house, away from reality, they can become charicatures(sp?) of the "in crowd" in high school, using really bad language, doing too much name calling, etc. Then thinking that these personal attacks on people won't have any effect on how the outside world perceives them.

There is no one who sounds more intellingent than someone who uses more expletives than real words to get their point across. Oh the eloquence.

The delusion that they are "Beautiful" people. As my wise grandmother use to say: Pretty is, as pretty does. That wisdom said, this is an ugly group of hamsters!

The latest delusion going around that house is that it's NATE'S fault that David is leaving. ROFL!

It is amazing that Justin and Robert think being on BB4 will make them celibs. If they would just stop and think about how many other BB4 cast members are now famous.

I like the typos. CELIBS....short for celibates?

IMO, it will more likely cause them more celibacy than celebrity. hahaha!!!

The funny thing is that they do get some level of fame but it isn't the type of fame that they expect. Its more along the line of 1 in 50 people saying "Hey bartender, weren't you on Big Brother?" "You were. That's cool, now give me another beer."

The HOH delusion that their nominations were the hardest nominations to make.

Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 06:08 am EditMoveDeleteIP
In reference to their delusions of being on Letterman, being the best group that's ever been in the house, grandiose thoughts of how famous they will be when they get out of the house, etc. etc.....they must not have been true BB fans or they would know none of these things are very likely to happen. OR....does being in that house just make you......delusional! :)

(I do admit David is pretty funny...has made me laugh out loud many times, so he might have possibilities) lol

If most of these HG's have never seen BB, other than from the DVD's given them, and can't name or recognize any of the HG's what in the world makes them think they will be any different. Sure, most know Mike Boogie, but this is more from his Restaurant/bar endeavors than BB. Shoot the last thing I saw of Shannon she was acting as a spokesperson at a tradeshow for a personal watercraft manufacturer! (on the travel channel and nothing of BB was mentioned, i recognized her face and name)

I'm sure it's the house making them delusional and the whole experience which seems a bit surreal to them, especially Jee is still in awe.. Once out, if they don't get the expected fame they'll laugh it off I'm sure...

They're talking about Mexico, Dave having a huge following and all the commercials he'll be doing.

Oh "brother".

They (as do most of the viewers) actually think that the contests are not staged. This is a produced TV show. It is not a game show by legal definition. It is only entertainment. Before this evening I said that the HOH will come from the group of Jack/Erika/Nathan/Allison. Allison made the most sense to win of all of them because of the drama the previous week and the soap opera rivalry between Allison and Dana.

The contest was comical. I have had some experience behind the scene on the carnival circuit. Putting balls into cylinders is a common side show game, and it is one that is easily controlled. The trick is to have the ones you want to lose to be almost a perfect fit in diameter and the others to be slightly larger. I'll bet that Jack's and Allison's had plenty of slack.

I predicted this before tonight and I was right. This is not a game, it is merely a produced TV show with too many millions of dollars at stake to leave such things to chance.

HOH Delusion - "I SAVED all the people that I DIDN'T put up, and now they OWE me!"

1. That by winning HoH they become the all powerful wizard. Never thinking that what they do today, might just come back and bite them in the butt!

2 Thinking that somehow God really cares about who is on BB or who will win. Maybe it's the devil that cares about it, that's more believable. ;-)

Here is my delusion to add after watching tonight's show.

Chiara: "Roddy and I never did anything that would say we are in a relationship. We never kissed." (cut to footage of them in bed kissing)

Delusion # 85 : I won't have to admit to anything I am doing in this house, because there is no proof.


DUH!!!

Maybe CBS has an eye for weird guy. They go through so many interviews, and cut so many people and this is what they usually end up with. Every season there are the drinkers, emotionally fragile, the arrogant and cruel, and just in general not that bright types. I guess the producers figure add losers mix in one house and stir for ratings.

Bohawkins, I know what you mean. Anytime I see a setup which has the players name's already on them, I wonder if something is not right. Even if the producers don't mean to give preference to any person, there's always the chance the crew could have a subconscious bias to make one person's task harder or easier. So they could have made one person's tube tilted a little bit so it was harder to get the balls into it. The only fair way is to have the players pick at random which setup they'll use.

I've noticed the same problem with "Survivor". You'll have the red team and the blue team competing on the red course and the blue course. You can see that the courses have small differences. Are the courses exactly the same difficulty? Probably not. Did the producers intentially make one course harder than the other? Who knows.

Re: the HoH challenge conspiracy. Did anyone else see the guy on the grassy knoll shooting the balls into Ali's tube? LOL.

I dislike Ali, but I just think sometimes even the worst of people luck out. That competition was a game of chance, and the little hockey player faced girl won out.

I too found it hilarious that Chiara seemed to be in very serious denial about how much she fell for Roddy last year. It's like if she continues to deny it, it never happened. Now that is delusional.

How about the delusion that the evictee immediately gets in a plane to go to New York for the next day's The Early Show.

The Early Show interview is done from the LA studios, and then the evictee is back at FOTH by 10:00 am BBT to do exit interviews.

RE: The Early Show - has anyone seen an evictee on the next day so far this season?

That they will starve and be malnutritioned from eating only PB&J for a week. The survivors would disagree.

bonza, I was wondering that this morning. Had the Early Show on all morning, but not a sign of Dave. Anyone know what the schedule is for Early Show interviews?

Bonzacat

Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 10:54 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Karuuna, it was just mentioned in another thread that they aren't doing Early Show interviews this year. Poster also stated they didn't do it last year either. I may be in some sort of time warp!

I hope this fits in here:

The HOH room is like an acid test. You get seven days to act like a little monarch. They all go through it no matter what stage of the game. Hardy won it twice and didn't Marcellus win twice as well. It makes them think that its in the bag. Allison is just acting out her biggest power and control fantasies.
Just like Mr. Shapiro hopes they all will.

Jack's delusion: that buzzards have crotches.

My all time favorite delusion is that each HG seems to think that other people in their alliance should have their best interest in mind, rather than their own.

I just saw tonight's show, and Jack is deluding himself in thinking that there is still "the Alliance". That original alliance to get the exes out is LONG gone....
