My New Vision of Big Brother?
Smokewilliams | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 05:11 am     I had decided to create my own reality show. It would be set up exactly like Big Brother with a few small changes. 1. All contestants must have seen the show before and have actually applied. 2. The nice people will band together to get rid of the mean and nasty ones. 3. Competitions will not be rigged for any specific contestant based on who BB wants to win. 4. No token players like one old guy with a bunch of college kids. 5. Bitchy DR self adulation will be rewarded with a massive electric shock to the genitals. 6. In the end a nice person who tried hard wins because they should, not because the jurors were all bitter. I looked at my list and realized this would have to be a scripted show, because everything listed is so far away from reality. |
Therlin | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 05:43 am     Sounds like BB1 except for #4 and to an extent #6 (he was nice, but he slept his way to the final 3) |
Spwisc | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 06:01 am     Your right Therlin, in BB1 there just wasn't the constant game playing. I've noticed with each on since then, it's more and more talk about the game instead of who's up for a dawn bbq or who wants to dye their hair yellow?!! Any one of the 3 final guys in BB1 could've won and it would be a nice guy winning.  |
Kaili | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 06:52 am     Hmmm...I never liked Eddie so I can't agree completely. I liked Curtis and Josh though. |
Floridagirl1010 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 07:10 am     The game has gotten stale...they don't have fun anymore...no really good arguments...no sleep walkers or talkers...just constant game talk It's too predictable as well...hopefully next summer they will come up with something worth watching My favorite was BB3...Amy and Marcellas were my favorites...even Chiara was fun to watch...whoever chose this group needs to be fired! |
Therlin | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 07:44 am     I have the feeling that Eddie (bb1) would have been a very different person should he have been in a different BB (2, 3 or 4) He was surrounded by fairly nice people, there were no conflicts, and he chose not to rock the boat. |
Kellirippa | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:13 am     Unfortunately Smoke, I doubt you'd get very good ratings with that show. You might be able to pitch it to Family channel. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:25 am     Well, let's just say then that we want all the bad stuff happening but in the end we want the good guy (if there is one ) to win it all!! It irks at us that the producers manipulate the game and that someone we all despised ends up winning. We want the drama but a happy ending... |
Bbfanatic | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:53 am     i miss the week long challenges. it forced the hgs to interact in different ways. i loved the bike and dance week long challenges. it was fun to watch two hgs that didnt really care too much for each other dance and it was great to watch on the feeds in the middle of the night. when bb started we voted so they didnt have as much to strategize about. |
Smokewilliams | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:50 am     Spunky, you are right. For once can we have a good person win? Not that bad people always win, but that is often the case. Not Nice winners: Rich (Survivor) Jenna (Survivor Amazon) Flo (Amazing Race) Undeserving Winners: Vecepia Tina Lisa (BB3) Great Players who got SCREWED!! Colby (Biggest disapointment in my reality life!!) Derek and Drew (Amazing Race 3 My fave, I have a twin) Jason BB3 Dave BB4 I am so scared Alison is going to win. That will definetly drive me back to scripted fare. Don't let that happen!!! |
Texasdeb | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:57 am     An Alison win will put a dagger in my reality TV addiction for sure. Don't want Robert winning either but would take him over Ali. Watch these 2 end up in the finals. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:59 am     I'd like anyone in the house to win over Ali. I like Jee, Jun, Erika, and Jack, and though I don't like Robert tons, I would rather see him win over that girl. |
Barbapapa | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:15 am     I think Tina and Lisa were both deserving winners. These shows are games - not dramas or comedies. Maybe on a PBS game show, the "nice" person would always win. If a person can make it to the end and win, the question of whether they deserve it or not is irrelavant. Anyone who starts the game has a shot to win, therefore, anyone "deserves" to win. Winning isn't a right. JMO |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:19 am     Hmmm, interesting...I am surprised that this years survivor winner did not make the list somewhere. I am curious, if Rich had not won, would he have made your players who got screwed list? |
Bbfanatic | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:20 am     exactly barbapapa !!!!! |
Kellirippa | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:24 am     If lying, strategizing, manipulation and alliances are not against the rules in a game, then go for it! Don't play a game if you're not trying to win. The prize is money, not walking out with your integrity intact. I give my respect to any player that plays within the rules, plays hard and plays to win. Good point Crossfire...Richard Hatch played Survivor brilliantly.

Kalekona | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:27 am     Crossfire as the mother of a deaf daughter this years Surivior winner is clearly on my list.. Jenna is the type of person that should be made to spend a week in the shoes of someone with a disability, forced to feel how people like her treat those they see as lessor humans.. I say we stick her in the middle of Gallaudet University (Deaf University) and see how she likes feeling like the outsider, and not understanding what is going on/being said around her... (no I'm not bitter at all... I hated how she treated Christy from day one.) And no Christy isn't on my list of players that got screwed...she went farther than anyone expected and in the end it was her own fault she was voted off. |
Smokewilliams | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:38 am     I felt that Tina and Lisa both won in spite of far superior players against them in the finals. I would love someone to tell me why Tina deserved to win over Colby. And Daniele lost that game, Lisa did not win it. The nine votes for Lisa were really nine slaps in the face for Danielle. I never said Rich was an undeserving winner. I meant he was one of the meanies, one we love to hate. |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:48 am     For whatever reason, I think I have just been a dolt in public. My guess is that you did list this years survivor Jenna, but when I saw Jenna, I thought of the survivor 1 Jenna for some reason, perhaps because of seeing Rich's name. But she did not win, so you did in fact list the correct Jenna. My mistake. As for Rich, I never hated him, I very much appreciated his candor and gameplay. But we all have our own opinions so that is cool. |
Smokewilliams | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:53 am     I know that these are games and you do not "deserve" to win, I was just writing to rant about the fact that the nice people never win. The games just aren't set up for them to do well. Colby only got to the finals because he won EVERYTHING. Otherwise he would have been gone as soon as possible. Much like the Twins (TAR3), everyone wanted them out. Because there is no voting, they got very far. If they were on BB or Survivor, the twins would be gone early. |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:57 am     Colby is a bit of a disappointment, he did not get screwed so much as he screwed himself. I'm not into martyrdom at all. |
Smokewilliams | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:02 pm     Crossfire, are you saying that you would have voted for Tina? I am tired of people saying Colby screwed himself by taking Tina to the finals. I think that is an extra point in his favor. He played the best game, and even valued his friendship with Tina over a greater possiblity of winning. But once again he is screwed over by the jury. I will always hate Jerri. Tina cut her throat right along with Colby. If Colby had been a hersey bar for her, she would have given him her vote. |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:09 pm     If I had a vote? No, I would have voted for Colby regardless of who he was up with, but it seemed to be generally accepted at the time that he screwed himself (sorry), by taking her. The problem, is that once it is all over and done with, I defer to the jury, she won, so be it, he stopped playing the game, one vote from the end. That was an error on his part. (Sorry again, I know you don't like to hear that.) |
