After seeing a few minutes of this (caught the end)I totally agree there is NO comparision between the BB1 & 4 roleplayings. BB1 they did killer imitations and cleverly came up with things other HG's would say or do. This BB just pretty much repeated stuff the real folks they were copying said. It was amusing, but to me lacked the intellect and the ingenuity of the one made in BB1, where they made up scenarios and created situations. What I saw of this they just repeated stuff that actually happened and what folks actually said. Well I'll go see if I can see the full thing and see if that provides a broader perspective, but I think I've seen enough to see the differences.

Well, I guess it's like home movies- not as enjoyable for others as for those who were 'there'. Actually though, the imitations of Dana were pretty funny. When Jee kept on looking out the window it was just like her!

I wish that the HGs in the sequester house would do one too- great idea vskate!

Oh good golly. They're not going to be able to have the showing on the feeds so that everyone can see it. It's just impossible. And really, it was for the HG's, not us. We'll likely get to see a version of it on the tv show. I think it was rather nice of BB to put it on the feeds so we could laugh with the HG's.

I guess you can't satisfy all the people all the time. *sigh*

I'm so glad they showed the film on the feeds. It was very cool of them. :) Good move this time BB!

Oh yeah Zachsmom...never said BB1 had "rights" over it ROFLMAO...or that they didn't give it a teensy twist (though IMHO it was far more radical to have them do it right in front of the folks they were playing not behind the back of evicted guests). But botton line is BB1 came up with the concept of role playing other HG's and rather than come up with something TOTALLY new and creative BB4 reused the premise.

Well, I agree Lurk...they are copying, but all the shows, comedies and dramas have been doing it for years. I've seen situations lifted right out of some Seinfeld and Friends episodes and put into other shows and it not be done as well the 2nd time around (or 3rd, or 4th...). I was just glad they gave the HGs something to do to break up not just the boredom, but the tension as well. It seemed to give them all a break from the constant maneuvering for position in the game. While it was good fun, I do agree that they didn't show as much imagination as HGs did the first time around for the idea, but like I already posted, at least it broke some of the tension.

Lurknomore, nice to see you posting. AS isn't above 'borrowing' anything that is a good idea, I'm sure. He should listen to us instead, we have lots of great original ideas- well not me but lots of people on this site!

Well..I understood what you were trying to say. I know you continually compare each BB to BB1 and always in the negative. Yeah, BB1 did roleplaying..BB4 did roleplaying..different twist to it but different cast. I enjoyed both of them and don't compare one to the other.

I don't care if they do the same thing in every season, each has a different outcome and each cast is different. I think all the producers of the shows do an excellent job and do what they can with what they have to work with. Maybe they just planned this on a whim. Maybe whoever had to work this weekend wanted some enjoyment and possibly never saw BB1 and thought "Hey, let's have them roleplay the people in the sequester house" Not realizing they did this on a previous season. Maybe they're just bored with the HGs and decided to yeah.."copy" roleplaying..big deal..the HGs had fun, we (or at least some of us) enjoyed it, that is what is important.

If the sequesterees did their own parody tape (this may wait til they outnumber the remaining HGs) it will serve as double duty as a way to show off their quarters.
And it's best to do it when they are down to as few players left as possible so as to avoid the "I'd rather be there" syndrome that likely will arise.

I would love to see the tape the HG's in the sequestered house made...if they made one. Hopefully, we'll get to see that on the show, and even better on the feeds. :)

Wait, even better, we'll get to see it both ways....LOL

TY KMJM but rethinking it, given how dissected I feel sigh. But I couldn't agree with you more...I think those of us here have given tons of clever examples and suggestions that could really liven and spice up BB. Sure wish he take some of them instead of repeatedly doing take offs on BB's past.

<el>

And Zachsmom, while yes, my personal opinion between those 2 BB's are positive to negative, I do feel that there are SOOO many interesting and new ideas that can be done that even if I liked this BB better I would still wish they came up with something new and clever and didn't just rehash something already done. JMHO!

I think it served its purpose, therefore it's a success...if you've been watching the live feeds, they all seem to be so relaxed with one another and getting along so well with no gameplay chitchat! It's definitely "lifted" the atmosphere there.

Hamsterlady

The live feeds have been great. Especially the last week or so. I've been loving them. Glad they're all getting along better but know they won't let their heart play too much into it. Ali's saying right now she's got to win HOH this next week. But I'm glad they had a fun time today with this project. :)

I don't care if they copy ideas from other years- if I enjoyed it then i will enjoy it now. I wouldn't even care if they did some of the same competitions- I'd love to see the Sponge Bob food competitions again- heck, as they say, there is nothing new under the sun.

Cangaroo

Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:49 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yep...or the sumo wrestling one. I thought that one was a hoot.

Look real carefully Zachs and you can see them right there. See? I can see them. They're right there. Right there. :)

How did they ALL miss saying "Golly" when "being" Nathan... or "I am sooo pissed awf" when doing Dana?
