From what I'v heard of some of Robert's and Nathen's conversations. I don't think they have never seen BB or the Real World, they didn't know they have a phone and a computer!
Robert wanted to know, how the BB producers knew, how and what storylines to put together. *what a bone head*

NOt a bonehead, a recovering? alcoholic ex druggie. I'd say he may have lost some braincells from some of his strange behaviour in the house. Robert has fumbled into this position in the house by riding on coattails......he could make it towards the end just by a fluke! He makes an excellent 'lackey' so he seems like someone indispensible.

I've always wondered the same thing myself. It seems that very few peole do any reality show "research" before they go in the house.

I always thought this was most evident on Survivor. I've watched every season (along with multiple other reality shows) and I have a pretty good idea as to the unwritten "rules" of a reality show, whether I was going on BB, Survivor or any other like show.

well - Jun did mention the other night (monday evening I think ) that she has a lot of reality tv pages bookmarked and she researched before coming into the game...And I really think that it is obvious in her gameplay. IMO she plays a good game and I give her props!! (I am not a diehard fan just appreciate the gamemanship , much like I gotta appreciate ali's and I really don't like her much either)

Remember faker Ali cried last night about Dana's leaving?(thanks to Cricket for pointing me to the right direction)
Didn't she say something about how Dana had applied for years to come in the BB house, and now because of Ali, Dana will never have her dream come true....

I thought Dana's gameplay was okay, she has her logic when making decisions. But she should have known how much she'd need to check her emotions.

I've also read about Jun's awearness of internet, cameras and LFPs who'd write down everything they say.

Jack seems to have studied and displays desire to be in there, but it just isn't his time now...

Amanda, Michelle, Robert, Jee, Justin, even Alison were other's Xs. Some wrote that Dave was recruited being former ranger(function just like Eric the firefighter), and Erika probably was invited also for she is good to look at-for a while anyways. Same as Nate.
Not sure about Scott, but he can't do anything now.

I don't know about the hamsters, but it's fairly obivious Julie Chen doesn't watch reality TV, much less BB4 (calling Nathan Justin. Need I say more?).

You're welcome Chy. :) Yes, they said Dana has applied all 4 years. That tells you something right there. I wonder if they had a hard time finding people this year.

Erika seems to know about the reality shows. She applied a couple of times for the AR.

Have you ever noticed a direct correlation between those who watch these shows and those who are on these shows?

Hmmm... think about it! MOST people who actually go on these types of "reality" shows never actually see the shows!! Those of us who watch the shows know better than to even THINK we'd ever wanna be in a house for three months with a bunch of bored eejits.

Erika mentioned something on the live feeds yesterday or today that she wants to stay as long as possible for the 'exposure.' These people must think they are really going to get careers from this.

For sure they are on the wrong show for that this year.

For sure they are on the wrong show if they are on ANY reality show!

Jack has watched the show each year; he has talked about voting on BB1. Scott and/or Amanda were fans and Scott mentioned filling the application on line. Nathan also applied on line but I don't know if he had been watching the show or merely saw an ad for it somewhere. For some reason, I just don't see AS recruiting in Oklahoma.

Laisey...Arnie did come to Oklahoma city in April.
I was going to go, but something came up, a friend went, and said there was only around 100 people that showed up.

BBwannab. I should have made myself clearer. I would consider that an application process. By recruiting, I was referring to people that are approached individually by a BB representative and asked if they would like to be on the show. For example at Belly's bar in LA.
