I am so glad this complaint thread is back. That's all I could think about as I sat in my house with my glass of wine poured waiting for Big Brother to come on (the only thing this 35 year old mother of 2 had to look forward to)and also waiting for my satellite to get the signal back. We had a major thunderstorm last night which caused my satellite t.v. to go out 10 minutes before the show came on and didn't come back on until right as Julie was announcing that my boy Dave was leaving. Needless to say, after all of this trauma I had to go pour myself another glass of wine and pout. I wanted to throw a temper tantrum, but after seeing how good my boy Dave took getting booted out of the house, I took my trauma in the same spirit. And waited until I could go to work the next morning and catch up on everything that I missed by reading these here boards. I do have to say that I was jumping up and down with glee when Allie won the HOH. Fixed, rigged or otherwise thrown by others, I didn't care. All I knew is that I couldn't take watching another week of Dana gloating her ugly face off.

Shwoo....I feel much better

I'm complaining because I was up early this morning and had the morning show on and never saw David. Don't they still interview the evicted houseguest the morning after??

Grumble, grumble.

Mranon. Thank you. At last a clear and concise explanation that all can understand. By any chance are you a politician? If so, you will go far.

Regarding Erika and the sunglasses, it is the lighting in the house. She has mentioned it in the past. Someone last year described the house as hell with studio lighting.

As for Ali's DR comments, I have the impression that each HG is asked to state reasons for a vote for and against each person. Then they show whichever response fits the show best.

Four feeds of Dana and Justin lying there staring into space?

Karuuna, None of the evictees have been on the morning show. In the AS press conference before the show started he was asked about something pre-show being shown on the morning show and he responded that Entertainment Weekly had the exclusive. I think he meant Entertainment Tonight since I understand the evictees do appear there. Strange, isn't it.

Well, dang. Guess I'll go back to sleeping in in the mornings, so it can't be all bad.

It is strange, tho. Thanks for answering my question, Laisy!

My fat cat walked across my laptop this morning and now my toolbar is at the top of the screen. Since I keep my feeds at the lower left-hand corner of the screen to provide more room to read all the posts, this is really more convenient. I am complaining that my cat is smarter than I am.

I am complaining, cause last night I had to get ready to run (had a wildfire nearby) missed the show, but they got the fire under control, forgot to think about turning on the puter to see what happened! til this AM, and I have been ready/catching up. THEN I find that we got rid of one <mk>, just to be replaced with yet another! Now The first one is having to eat PB&J! Oh my GOD! I hope they hide all the knives and clip those gals finger nails! It's gonna be one B##ch of a week, and I am pi$$ed.
God, don't you love this game??

now I don't know if this has been said anywhere but this seemed as good of a place as any.........I want to complain that Dana now has the nerve to complain that Nate is in and out of HER room too much.....AND that Justin had the nerve to sleep in Nate's bed last night without even asking if he was going to sleep there or anything.
Where do they get off? And they think Nate is the evil one? He hasn't even said or complained once about it! (as far as I can tell...and if he has he has every right to!)

Bunyun, don't worry about the nails. As much time as is spent on them, they'd never risk breaking one just for the pleasure of scratching someone's eyes out.

Thanks Laisey, I was getting worried. Your right, but I wonder if Dana at some point could care less, and go for it! I bet in a day or two, that gal is going to be SO pi$$y!

Bunyun, I figure after the first meal since she can only have pb&j.

I need to complain that I was about to power off my computer and put in my brand spanking new TV capture card & hook up the cables when they started the nominations more than an hour early!!!! Now I'm sitting here with my dear friend FOTH with cables in my lap and screwdriver ready waiting to find out the results of Ali's noms. :) and :(

I'd like to complain...oh gee...so many things lol...

Let's lead with the fact the bug spray from killing the small airplane like bug during the live show is what I think nearly did me in last night and I was sound asleep after feeling like hell and several unpleasant side effects by 9:30. So, I'd like to complain that I slept through a night of BB and apparently missed NOTHING, that I think I poisoned myself with bug spray AND that I have been wide awake since 7 and it's pouring out (The ONLY thing I think is good about early mornings...on the rare occassions I see them is the crisp sunshine).

I'd also like to complain that Laisey doesn't seem to know you can just drag you windows toolbar anywhere and needs her cat to be her computer tech.

I'd now also like to complain that the board just nuked my rolling eyes graphic, which is probably just as well since I couldn't find it anyways LOL and was gonna settle for this (let's see if it lets me upload this) rolf

Ok I'd now like to complain that my ROFLMAO emotion looks like I'm having a seizure or a child-like fit. Either that or the 90% off sweater I found that fits perfectly has a huge hole in it. I think I need more coffee :)

Bunyun

Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:43 am EditMoveDeleteIP
LOL! Lurk, you DO have some serious problems there to complain about. Actually I think that little thing rolling on the floor having a fit looks a bit like what Dana does, but with words!

I'd like to complain that today I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT :(

You can borrow some of mine Spunky (if you dare) lol.

And LOLOL@ Bunyun...soooooo true!!!!!!! Maybe I can add one of those cartoon captions and have it say "I'm pissed off" hehehehe

Lurk, lol. I honestly did know I could drag the toolbar, I just wasn't bright enough to realize that having the toolbar at the top would allow me to move bblive further down in the left-hand corner and still be able to switch from one window to another. I was very impressed that my cat not only knew how to drag the toolbar, but knew the best place for it during BB. In addition, she was considerate enought to just go ahead and move it for me.

Now I want to complain that BB only seems to have wake-up recordings that start "good morning HGs." Highly inappropriate when they don't wake them up until quarter to one in the afternoon.

Laisey, I was just thinking that it would be a hoot to have each of the HGs' mothers record a wake up call for them like they did when they were little. Not only would it get them up, it would annoy the HECK out of them. My mom used to come in and turn my lights and stereo on. HATED IT!!! :)

Clio, when I was in high school, my mom would bang on pots & pans to wake me up. :(

That's hilarious Laisey! LOL :)

BTW, I want to complain that I have no sound on my computer at work so I can only watch the hamsters! :(
