Sheilaree | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 04:17 pm     I disagree I hope Jun wins all the way!!!!! She deserves the $500, |
Tobor7 | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 04:23 pm     It is possible that Jun had a lot to do with how great a player Jee is, since they went out for such a long time. She gave him such good food and understanding that he has become like a god-player... and almost like the BB game was designed just for him to shine so well in. 500 Gs For Jee |
Meme9 | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 04:34 pm     Not 2 more weeks! Unless they start now with a twist for everyday...I don't know if I can hang in for that long. I don't want to quit watching, but this group as a whole are slowly driving me crazy. I was hoping for a speedy end and hope for a better one next year. Sorry, I've been holding that in for along time. Maybe they will just throw 2 more episodes in the regular week shows...like, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs and Fri. |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 04:47 pm     Every time I see the title to this thread, I want to scream NOOOOOOOO! |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 04:59 pm     I'd go for 2 more episodes - but come on, don't stretch the ending for 2 more wks. I'm soooo loosing interest in the actual game. I do love TVCHers though. They want to do this to us - we can just go off in funny conversation like the late night chat thread did last night - anyone who hasn't read these guys, should go & see what I'm talking about. Go JUN! 500 g's for June (Gosh, she didn't even want the one she had!) |
Tobor7 | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 05:00 pm     500 Gs For Jee |
Sheilaree | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 05:08 pm     Go Jun she will get 500, and Jee is out of here next week |
Spygirl | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 05:14 pm     Tobor...I think we get the point |
Ric_Munoz | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 07:10 pm     Page One article from today's Daily Variety: EYE EXTENDS "BIG BRO" TO PREEM WEEK (by Josef Adalian) CBS' premier week sked is getting a dose of "Big Brother"-ly love. Eye has ordered two more episodes of the hit reality skein, a move that means the summer sudser--in the middle of what's perhaps its most successful season yet--will now wrap its fourth season on Wednesday, Sept. 24, from 9-10 p.m., rather than the previously planned Sept. 17. That's the first Wednesday of the 2003-04 television season, and a sure sign that CBS execs have faith in "BB4"--from Endemol and exec producers Arnold Shapiro and Allison Grodner--to end with a bang. Schedule shuffle means a one-week delay for one of the Eye's biggest sked moves of the year: The shift of "King of Queens" to Wednesday nights. Kevin James-starrer will now have its one-hour bow Oct. 1, with "Becker" beginning its new season Oct. 8. It also pits "Big Brother's" swan song opposite the season premiere of ABC's "The Batchelor," as well as the debut of the Aaron Sorkin-less "The West Wing" and an original seg of Fox's "Paradise Hotel." CBS exec VP of program planning Kelly Kahl said having "Big Brother 4" wrap during the all-important premiere week helps the net in several ways. "It eliminates some uncertainty for us," he said. "Knowing how well 'Big Brother' has been doing this summer, we know we'll get a good audience for the finale." In addition, with "King of Queens" moving back a week, the Eye gets another week to hype the sked shift. "Becker" also benefits, since the skein got late word on its fall pickup. Except for the show's second season, CBS has traditionally wrapped "Big Brother"--which airs thrice weekly, and is also exec produced by Jon Kroll--the week before the season's start. But the skein has been a ratings workhorse for the Eye this summer, winning its timeslot among adults 18-49 every time it's aired. "The beauty is, it guarantees a kind of consistent audience throughout the summer," Kahl said. "That's invaluable in helping us promote our new lineup." Overal averages for "Brother" are on a par with last season, but that's in part because two of the show's three weekly segs air at 8 p.m. this summer; a year ago, only one seg aired at the earlier hour. "Brother" has also faced tougher reality competish this year, inclduing Fox's red-hot "Bro"-like "Paradise Hotel," which has been doing particularly well with adults 18-34. "I think it's impressive to us that each year we've done 'Big Brother,' it's gotten more successful and popular," said Shapiro, who said the extra segs serve as a "vote of confidence" from CBS. "I can't think of another (long-running) reality show that gets more popular with each additional season." Shapiro credited part of this summer's momentum to the Grodner-created "X Factor" twist, in which contestants' exes were secretly cast to be a part of the show. "The unpredictable components we introduce each year are a factor in the show's popularity," he said. "And we're also only on once a year. All the other hit reality shows are on as often as the networks can get them on. We're appointment viewing. People know every summer there's going to be 'Big Brother,' so they can look forward to it like a summer vacation." Endemol USA topper David Goldberg, whose company owns the format rights to "Big Brother," is looking to captialize on the skein's rabid fan base by introducing a boxed set of DVDs featuring all 32 episodes of last summer's "Big Brother 3." "Because the show doesn't have a (traditional) syndication back-end, we looked for alternative ways of making money on the existing episodes," he said. "DVD seemed to be a natural alternative." Collection is available on the CBS.com Web site, and is expected to be available in stores soon. Endemol is also mulling a DVD release of "Big Brother 4." |
Saggkl | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 07:30 pm     I would buy a set of the feeds for last years show, but not for the show itself. |
Closetfan | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 08:37 pm     Oh, crap...I was hoping this wasn't true. I'm so bored, but I can't seem to stop watching after committing so much time...MAKE IT STOP!!! |
Bb234finalist | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 09:41 pm     Jee won't win...especially after this past luxury comp! Who would vote for him? After his selfish act I'd vote for ANY of them over him in the finals. If any of them were smart they'd call him out on his selfishness and pound it over and over and TAKE HIM TO THE FINALS! Unless BB pays these hampsters on how to vote...he lost his chance with the luxury comp, don't you think? He is a selfish jerk who's voice is like nails on a chalk board. I can't stand him after tonights show, at all. |
Theo | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 09:43 pm     NNNNOOOOOOO, please oh higher power make it stop...make it stop.. |
Drewpdrawers | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 02:41 pm     I might be mistaken, but it seems like every year people say, I cant stand these people, last year was so much better, etc etc. By the end of the season we are all hooked and lost when the show ends, and come next summer, perhaps people will say, I cant stand this year, bring back Jun and Jee and etc etc etc. Some are just never happy. Its very hard for me to pick a favorite person this year (Go Girl Power) but I am one of the few on this board to say, I am enjoying the show |
Ryanc829 | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 02:42 pm     Anyonme else notice the misspelling of Bachelor? Hmmm...Maybe I'm being paranoid, but... |
Ric_Munoz | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 03:37 pm     Ryanc829: I re-typed the whole article from my copy of DV--the boo-boo resulted from my faulty typing (overall is misspelled, too). Thanks for catching the typo, though! |
