I looked to see if there was another post that this could go under, but I haven't found one, and I think it can be added onto all season long.

Every year, we all sit here watching these HG's tell themselves the most outrageous lies, and those lies become their own personal reality. Many times I think that they become delusional as a result of living in the house and haven't no outside contact with REALITY. (oh the irony.)

For example:

There are always a few HG's every year that believe they will be super-famous when they leave the house.

Some HG's convince themselves that they actually CARE about the other HG's.

Ugly HG's become attractive. (e.g. Robert)

Many HG's honestly believe they are not being lied to by other HG's.

If they whisper, their strategy is a secret.


I know I think of so many more when I read all the posts and watch the show, but of course I can't think of any more right now. Does anyone else have any to add?

Yep .......... they have already mentioned appearing on Dave Letterman. I don't think there has EVER been anyone from Big Brother on David Letterman which just goes to show that not only have they never watched Big Brother, but they've apparently also never watched David Letterman.

My favorite is We are the best group ever to be in the Big Brother House. America must love what we are giving them. We are so much smarter than than Amy, she never would have survived in our house. We are so much more intelligent than other big brothers, we know how to play the game.........................

I thought one houseguest was on Letterman. The stripper, I can't remember her name. Does anyone remember this or am I having a senior moment.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title, Maris. There's also the "We're the best looking group of BB contestants EVER!".

I love it when they think certain cameras aren't "internet cameras" and when they think they can actually keep things a secret in the BB house. Basically if you think it, it will be public knowledge before you can say Bob's your uncle.

Going on BB will further their acting career.

The best was when Will told Nicole she would be famous when she left the show because someone would offer her a cooking show called Bitchin in the Kitchen!LMAO

I also think they are delusional about the sequestering.

They're thinking Cancun, CBS is getting the house on the CBS lot ready for them!

For previous episodes, I used to get so frustrated with HG's talking trash in the DR, thinking that the evicted HG's would never see it. Now they have changed that, but back then, I thought HG's were idiots in the DR.

So I guess the delusion would have been:

"I can say whatever I want in the DR, because no one in here will ever hear it."

Costacat thinks Eeyore is delusional for thinking Robert's gone from ugly to attractive! <grinning, ducking, running very fast!>

Oh wait, duh! I just reread the original post. Before someone smacks me upside the head, let me smack myself (<smack>). I get it now. Slow but steady... The HOUSEGUESTS think that they become attractive. Even the UGLY ones.

I LOL'd so loud, my cat just gave me a dirty look (and not my Costa cat, either!).

What delusions do the BB cast have?

I think delusions of grandeur about sums it up. :)

They always have the idea that they will surely die from only eating PB&J and nobody has ever had it so hard as them.

And someone is always surprised to realize that there are actually people out there transcribing everything they say. This only makes them think they are wittier and smarter than the other HGs before them. And they are making the show and the ratings. It really does go to their head.

I forgot about fame and fortune. They say that ignorance is bliss......these folks must be constantly orgasmic! :)

Everyone harbors illusions about themselves. These poor people merely are going to have theirs thrown up into their faces and exposed for the world to see.

I also don't believe that they have any illusions now that they did not have before entering the house.

I always like the way everyone thinks they know who is getting the boot when. Tonight was a perfect example with Jee's "Erika goes this week, and next week Dana is out...that's the plan".

Gotta wonder if his 'plan' has included the possiblilty that Dana could win HoH or the Veto next week. And what would have happened if Dana had won Veto again this week and taken Erika off the block?

That any type of food used as a bathing suit makes for good tv. *snooozzzzzzeeee* Not everyone who watches the show is a horny 15 year old.

The delusion that if they act a certain way, they'll be shown that way on tv. They've never caught on to how people are edited to appear a certain way, to fit the mold they were cast to fill.

Not quite sure if this fits but it reminds me of it.........

They're driving me crazy ALREADY talking about "Vegas." Can they not at least get through the first month before they start planning the after party???????
