Hobbs | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 02:56 pm     I've been meaning to start this thread for a long time, but now that Marcellas has shown his voice, I think it's time. Pretend it is July/August/September 2004 and BB5 is in full swing. Who will you bring up in the discussions that you will miss from this year? We keep talking about how much we love the past HGs. Will any of this year's HGs be missed? For me, I think it will be David because he was comic relief. I miss him already. His time was too short. I also think I'll miss Dana because she is just wacked. She gave us something to watch. Any opinions? |

Twiggyish | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 03:10 pm     Jack and Jee |
Willsfan | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 03:16 pm     Nathan - to see if he got a teaching job. Jun - just because.  |
Neko | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 03:38 pm     David |
Brotherman | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 03:42 pm     Dana - Because she's the most outspoken. Jun - Because she's funny. |

Widowswalk | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 03:50 pm     I miss Will the most too. From this year it would be David, Jack, Jun and the gorgeous Nathan. |

Jamaum | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 04:20 pm     Well... to miss something means you must have placed some value on it... there is nothing meaningful or of value in any of these characters.. imho of course. |

Beruthiel | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 04:29 pm     I won't even miss those I like, because none have endeared themselves to me this year. So far, no one event will stick in my mind, that I would look back on with reminiscent fondness. Every previous year someone or something would linger, but 2003 will fade away from my mind with little regret. I guess this year can be summed up for me by the phrase 'd*mned with faint praise'. |
Needmylifeback | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 04:40 pm     Who? BB4? What are you talking about? |
Yucktothehgs | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 05:02 pm     I don't think I'll remember any of their names. |
Spunky | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 05:27 pm     Oh, we will be comparing the exes with those "total strangers who will become friends/enemies" in BB4 and see if the X element was better or not.. |
Gidget | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 05:45 pm     I've liked Jun. She has a compelling force of personality. So does Ali, but I don't like her so I won't miss her. The best BB contestants have "it". Marcellas and Amy had "it". So did Will and Dani and Nicole and Roddy. You don't have to like these people but they are the type of people who stand out from the crowd. It has nothing to do with looks, or intelligence or anything else. It has everything to do with the elusive "it". "It" is what makes one actor a star above thousands of capable performers. I am somewhat surprised that more of the BB contestants have not managed to parlay their "itness" into post-BB success. I'm married (for the moment) to one of these type people. People are attracted to him like bees to honey. I don't get it. |
R151996 | Saturday, August 23, 2003 - 04:37 pm     The most memorable BB HGs in this format control the game, even if the other HGs don't realize it. And because of that control they become lightning rods for viewers--you either love them or you hate them. In BB2 Will did it and in BB3 Dani did it. In both cases the HGs largely didn't know what was going on either until it was too late or after they were evicted. This year Jun and Ali are both doing it, but in a totally different way. The HGs realize to a great extent what the two are doing, but because of the setup of the alliances they need Jun and Ali around for votes. Who would have thought a month ago when Dana pulled Jun toward the Stooges and Ali was on the block that today there a real chance that one or both could make the finals. This would be a very dull Big Brother right now without Jun and Ali in the game unless Dave had managed to stick around. |
