Gina8642 | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 12:38 pm     Kalli - they did alot of stuff like that the first year, no hot water etc - Made them compete for each little thing. The show got really low ratings so CBS quit doing all that type of deprivation. I think they've realized that depriving the HGs of those things doesn't really improve the show any ratings wise. I've seen alot of fond memories for that kind of hamster torture, but if it doesn't get ratings, CBS won't bother. BTW - They have to have air conditioning because of all the camera and lighting equipment - without it, the equipment would overheat and be damaged. |
Cndeariso | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 01:31 pm     Other rewards they have gotten in the past were a night with another HG for popcorn and a movie, to read all of the newspaper headlines they could in a certain timeframe, and Lisa last year got to chat on the internet. |
Cndeariso | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 01:46 pm     where are the screen caps being cataloged and stored? |
Katlady53 | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 02:00 pm     Just curious as to why the caption contest is so far down and why more photos aren't posted? That's a fun thread! |
Draheid | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 02:30 pm     Katlady53: You're welcome and encouraged to post a 'bump' in the main thread for the Caption Contest which will bump it back to the top of the area until other threads become active. |
Demsome | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 03:07 pm     Just kind of curious. Does anyone know what Jun put on her sandwich (other than mayo) today? She said it tasted like egg salad. Weird, and I can't believe they are eating mayo sandwiches! EEww I would rather have 200 PB&J sandwiches than one mayo. |
Dutchlizzy | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 03:10 pm     The CBS live feed promo on real.com says watch the live feeds to see the HG's fave music videos. Is BB going to let them watch videos tonight? |
Grits | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 03:16 pm     How are the TV ratings this year? Compared to last year. How is TVCH traffic this year? |
Dee | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 04:04 pm     Did Jun use the veto? I didn't see it mentioned in the Live Feeds thread - perhaps I missed it. Thanks! |
Avrey258 | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 04:13 pm     No Jun did not use the veto. I do have a question: I was cooking dinner and listening to the feeds and could swear I heard Justin say the "N" word. Please tell me I heard this wrong. Jun said something about her boyfriend and his salary and Justin said something like six-figga N_____! |
Philamom | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 04:18 pm     Dutch ... it's just a list of their favorite videos, if you want to watch them. It's nothing the HGs are going to see. If anyone's interested, here are the HGs favorite music videos: Jee: Evanescence, "Bring Me to Life - Wind-Up Erika: Coldplay, "The Scientist" - Capitol Scott: Morcheeba, "What's Your Name" - IFILM , Warner Bros Jun/Nathan: U2, "Electrical Storm" - IFILM , Interscope Dana: Incubus, "Nice to Know You" - IFILM , Epic David: Metallica, "St Anger" - Elektra |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 04:51 pm     Hhmmm... I could say something about the significance of "Incubus", but I won't! Just wondering, is anyone among our Dear Sweet, Generous, Eastern colleagues thinking of doing a show spoiler thread tonight? There is a show scheduled, right? |
Costacat | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 05:02 pm     Bernie, hon, go check the list of thread topics! <smooch> |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 05:26 pm     I did, Costa, right after I posted above, LOL! That's lil ole me, always *ss backwards! |
Alinthehouse | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 06:27 pm     This has been bothering me all day! Last night as I turned on the feeds (first season with feeds), music was playing. Erika persuaded Robert to dance. My question is: Do the house guest normally get to listen to music over the loud speaker? My understanding was the only music they get to listen to is on the walkman with the CD won with HOH. |
Lujie | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 06:40 pm     They had rewarded them with a pizza dinner, cake, and music for making it half way. Most of the time the feeds were FOTH. The music we heard must not be copyrighted or someone was asleep at the FOTH switch. |
Alinthehouse | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 06:43 pm     Thanks Lujie. Shucks, I missed most of the party. Just my luck!!! |
Ark | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 07:09 pm     Anyone that taped tonights show, could you check and see how much time Ali had on the clock when she was done and before she started wasting time. I thought it was 3 minutes & something but I wasn't paying close attention. |
Jedisan | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 07:17 pm     Ali came in BELOW Jus time Ark. But NOT below Juns as it turned out. |
Jpgramma | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 07:18 pm     another question for someone who taped the show. Can you tell me the order in which the names disapeared on the AC plama screen? I think I noticed that the last 3 were Jack, Erika and Robert, and then Jack's name disappeared leaving Erika's and Roberts, til it was Robert's name alone. I'm thinking they may have been erased from the screen in the order of how many votes they got. Would really like to know the whole order, particualrly if Ally's name was the first one to be erased. |
Ark | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 07:58 pm     Thanks Jedisan, I was pretty sure that Jun beat her fair & square but then Ali made that comment about the all being stupid & slow so I wanted to double check. |
Kaili | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 07:59 pm     I glanced over this afternoons feeds and the comments about the game- is it "bocce" they are playing, cause I have heard of that game. They sell the sets at Target. My cousin had it on his wedding registry. |
Thunder | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 09:09 pm     Will Dana see the POV comp where Ali was running around saying "Where's that b****" and "Where's psychosl**"? Not that she ever had her vote anyway.... |
Xarph | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 01:28 am     For Wednesday's HOH contest, a couple of the HGs' balls will have a magnet in them. The magnet will somewhat improve their chances if their ball get close enough to the bull's eye. The question is: whose balls will have the magnets? Note: The magnets in the balls is pure conjecture on my part. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 01:39 am     Xarph: You're post reminded me of this brilliant guy who used to post here during BB1 and BB2. He came up with the most intriguing and intelligent conspiracy theories about BB and would find info to back up his theories. After 9/11 he left the board--if I'm not mistaken. Does anyone remember his name and does anyone know how he is or what he has been up to? |
