What is BB Lacking???
Bastable | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 11:25 am     Over the past week, BB has tried to get their lazy asses out of bed: "Good morning, Houseguests. It's time to get up for the day." Trouble is, Big Brother waited until 11:02 a.m. today to wake them up. Lazy hamsters! |
Bunyun | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 11:26 am     Might be interesting to have in the future. All of them be sets of twins. Of course each twin would be each others allie, but then again, further down the road, they could get into some really good fights! LOL! How about the "coors twins", we certainly see different personalities! |
Hippyt | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 11:55 am     I think the show is missing so much,I could go on and on. I agree with you Biloxi,there is a serious lack of humor in this house. All these people do is sit around and plot all day,where's the fun in watching that hour after hour? Dave flinging himself at the heavy bag was the only funny thing I've seen yet. If he goes this week,I'm pretty much done with the show. |
Laura11103 | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 12:03 pm     To me, there's absolutely no bonding going on. I know it's a game and a lot of the "bonding" between HG's was fake anyway, but Dani and Jason had a true bond and I think Dani and Marcellus did too even if they did screw each other over, Nicole and Hardy also were bonded and we know in BB1 they all bonded, I love that stuff and here, there's just plotting. I think that's the thing that I love about reality shows, there's always a certain amount of friendship that gets formed and I like to see that happen, here, I'm getting zilch. |
Spwisc | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 12:29 pm     I agree with you Costacat, they need to have scheduled activities, such as the shower thing but also fun trivia things to make their minds go away from strategy at least for a short time. They should be waking them everyday at 8 or 9 am, with the exception of letting them party all night one day out of the weekend. Remember the morning barbeque's they had on BB1? and the marathon dancing, was that BB1 or 2?? |
Marej | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 12:38 pm     On Wednesday night, Julie says to Jack, "Jack, go to the diary room." He gets in there and is asked, "Who do you really want to leave?" He says a name. Dave says a name. Then BB assigns the 2 people with the most votes a number. Each guest is told to pick a number, 1 or 2. The person chosen, has to leave. |
R151996 | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 01:09 pm     If the basic messages to HGs are going to be prerecorded, at least get a good Big Brother voice like Australian BBB Peter Abbott to do them. His stern BB voice would get the immediate attention of every HG. Also make every announcement begin with "This is Big Brother" like every other BB show in the world does. That's the proper way to talk to the HGs despite what AS&Co think. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 01:24 pm     This BB is lacking a reality check. What they need is some tennis balls thrown over the wall containing messages telling them this BB4 is the most hated cast *ever*, because of the constant hateful, racist, misogynist, and homophobic remarks. |
Bastable | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 01:26 pm     BB is lacking a love for human life. The first one had it. You watched because you loved to see what people do. Ever since then, it's been about winning, winning, winning. You're not one of us, you're one of them. Blah blah toothbrush blah. I want them to send Brittany into the house so she can act terribly shocked by their behavior and tell them, "Don't be stoop-pid!" |
Wendo | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 01:29 pm     This BB is lacking proper sensitivity training. I say, get a counselor in there and give a course on sensitivity training. Perhaps then, they'll realize that words are more than just words. They can be hurtful and hateful. |
Reader234 | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 01:30 pm     Has anyone mentioned this BB is lacking an audience that cares about them? |
Marej | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 01:56 pm     Dana needs her mouth washed out with soap and to have BB tell her to tone it down. |
Costacat | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:02 pm     Marej, write your own material... <grin> Yesterday I said the house needed a CASE of soap, in order to wash out the mouths of ALL of the houseguests (as I assumed a single bar would barely last a day!)! <wink> <Edited to add: That's a JOKE! I'm not being mean!> |
Happymom | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:03 pm     LOL Reader! (even if you weren't trying to be funny...you sure got a laugh out of me!) I wish they'd combine BB and the Mole. then the HG would have something to do, and it would be more interesting for us to try to guess who the mole is. |
Costacat | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:05 pm     Happy, I'm not sure these people could qualify for the Mole! I miss that show! I was always wrong, but I still miss that show! |
Marej | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:14 pm     As Dana would say..."That *ing pi$$sed me off that you said it first." Thunder. (here) <wink. wink> :-) |
Niceguy | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:53 pm     Big Brother has gotten lazy, not the houseguests. In the first BB there were more things built into the game to get the houseguests to interact. Even BB 2 had personalities that were somewhat creative(Mike Boogie's boy band dancers). The game seems to reward the meanest and coldest natured personalities. Maybe(and I think someone else mentioned this)they should see the worst of themselves in bite sized moments during the week in the diary room. Definitely better diary room time with more clues of how they are actually playing. They should get the houseguests to see from their behaviour if they would vote for themselves if they saw how silly, mean and just plain stupid they act. |
Happymom | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 04:13 pm     HA! Costacat, you're right! They wouldn't qualify! I miss The Mole too! Niceguy, not a bad idea re: showing clips to them of themselves in the DR. (I'm glad I don't have the feeds, I wouldn't be able to watch/listen to all the atrocious language that goes on in that house.) |
Seeingd0uble | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 05:17 pm     Honestly, I feel as though the show is no more boring/ridiculous than Big Brother 3 was at the very beginning. Out of boredom I watched most of last year's shows last night. I have to say that it was quite a drag until say, the end of Week 5 after Eric and Lisa had been split up, Josh had just left, and Amy was back in the game. That's when the show got interesting...it REALLY kicked in when it got down to the final five. I completely understand and agree with what every one of you has said, but who knows...maybe as the number of Houseguests decreases this year will turn out pretty eventful. Once more people leave alliances go out the window and it's every person for himself or herself. Perhaps quite a season is in store. |
Nana | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 10:15 pm     America's choice....the secret mission (like changing the time on the clock). Don't they have anything planned for this year? |
Luvtrash | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 01:13 am     "What they need is some tennis balls thrown over the wall containing messages" What a great idea! We could send them suggestions for topics of conversation or activities we would like to see! Obviously neither they nor BB seem to be able to think of any on their own. Surely there are some tennis players here on the board with smashing serves that could lob them in from the street without even risking confrontations with the security people! |
Luvsreality | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 01:30 am     I read an idea similar to this on another thread, but after this year's disaster, I would LOVE to see a "Battle Royale" and have BB bring back the top three from the four BB's. Can you imagine Nicole, Will, Marcellas, Curtis, Eddie, etc. all in the same house. I would feel like I died and went to BB heaven!! I doubt Dana will make it to the final 3, but she or Jun would be amazing to watch interact with Nicole! The possibilities are endless, and very entertaining!! |
Chicaloca453 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 03:20 am     a girl with real personality...... |
Bbfanatic | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:04 am     i would like viewer participation again. i am enjoying bb4 more each day. if i wasnt happy with it, i wouldnt be here. plus, i really enjoy ya'll !!!!!!!! |
Puzzled | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 01:44 pm     To me, there's absolutely no bonding going on Laura, I think you've really hit on it. They all seem to be scared of going outside of their little pairs/trio and even the pairs don't seem to like each other that much. If there was more interaction, we might actually see some of them having a good time, getting to know each other. BB should give them more long activities where they have to interact with each other. With something like the week-long bicycle contest they had, they could insist that they do it in pairs with BB picking the pairs. Make them do skits, make them do something. |
Crazydog | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 01:57 pm     I think BB needs more fun. Some of the more prudish people here will disagree, but I think BB needs more alcohol and more nudity. Make it fun for them as well as for us! <psst... which HGs have been screencapped naked and where might one go to see it?> |
Woodpecke® | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 03:29 pm     <<<I think BB needs more fun. Some of the more prudish people here will disagree, but I think BB needs more alcohol and more nudity. Make it fun for them as well as for us!>>> Why stop there. Make them drink alcohol in challenges. Tell them the cameras are off. Have weirder competitions. Play strip poker. See who can self-pleasure themself the quickest. The possibilities are endless. |
Cinder | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 03:44 pm     Crazydog- Check out some of the links at SirlinksAlot. Mainly just Alison, but there are some of Jun and Michelle. They are all pretty innocent actually. They are being careful this year. I wanted to see what Alison did while she was drunk, or I would have never looked |
