Is this the second or third week in a row without a sappy family hug or brother or cousin or whatever hug for the newly evicted hamster? Does anyone know why they dropped this? It's been that way since the start, hasn't it?

<sd> They can't see anyone else since they're sequestered until the last show.

Reunions have been dropped due to sequestering, the final seven are not going home yet.

Yeah, guess you are right. I'm an idiot. Put me in CBS jail.

I think since the last 3 evicted houseguests are going to be sequestered they won't be seeing their family/friends until the end. They are shipped off to the 'loser' house and no one can come and greet them.

It's no family reunion because the evicted hg are being sequestered, not re-entering the outside world. Previously, those evicted hg not on the jury did have family members waiting for them.
They might get a phone call with family, though.

We won't put you in jail Jeffc. We all have "blonde" or "Senior" or whatever moments we can use as an excuse.

Remember when Bunky's boyfriend met him after he was evicted. He was the dominant male in that relationship and he made Bunky walk to him. I think he even pointed for Bunky to approach him. It was nauseating to watch.

Jeffc, its a natural mistake, I keep thinking the same thing and I see people on the foth while the live show is on, and I say to myself oh that must be so and so's family. Then I remember they don't get anyone since they are going to "jury house". LOL

Last year when the jury was sequestered, I seem to remember they still got sappy family members on their exit. I could swear Amy's family was there. Am I wrong.....oh wait, I just had a brain f***. She probably got the family on her first eviction but not on the second. Ok, I think I just answered my own question.

Webgirl, last year, the first four evictees did not have family to great them. They went into immediate sequester. When Josh was evicted, the four came back to compete for re-entry. Amy them won. When she was evicted the second time, her family was there; including her dog.

Did I miss Justin's family tape or did they just show Roberts?

Wendo

Just Robert's.

Thanks Wendo for clearing that up for me. Jack complains of short-term memory loss, and mine is definitely long-term.

No problem! :)

Woah, Bunky should call the cops, I think he was just in a hit and run.

Soooooo, Why no Justin family tape????

Because they had to make room for the jury house discussion and Robert's story was more endearing (and more relevant since he was actually staying in the game.)

But every other eviction night has had both nominatated HG's family tape.

Robert gets a glowing tape and Justin gets nothing?

Let me try this again. :) .......... they had to make room for the jury house footage

Nope, Robert is AS's pet HG this year.

Robert had tons of air time this week.

LOL! Why did you ask the question if you already had your answer! :)

Csnog

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 08:54 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Because Justin was leaving and the producers knew it yesterday. They should have had something about Justin's family or friends on tape.

They have plenty of time to still show us a glowing report on Robert each week.

I agree. They knew Justin was going and should have shown his family. Maybe there is nothing touching about them? :)

Cliotheleo

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 09:14 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
But that's just the thing. Justin was leaving, there was no reason to further endear the audience to him.

AS productions will never endear me to Robert no matter how they edit the show.

They are just pulling a huge scam on the viewing audience by white washing Robert.
