Sanfranjoshfan | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:31 pm     Without the live feeds we would see only Erika as the big racist in the house and we would never suspect that just about all the rest constantly make homophobic, racist, and hateful misogynist commments *all the time*. |
Tissy | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:41 pm     Thats one of the big differences between UK and USBB - UK hms would be lynched by the public for those sort of comments overhere |
Wargod | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:44 pm     Tissy, does hms mean housemates? I'm thinking yes but it threw me for a minute. |
Tissy | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:47 pm     yes sorry hms - housemates |
Wargod | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:54 pm     Thanks! |
Justareader | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 11:38 pm     If we did not have the feeds we would have no idea about how often illegal drug use is discussed - this includes improper use of prescription drugs and illegal drugs. |
Cinder | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:35 am     You wouldn't know that Dave upchucked in the HOH room after his sexual encounter with Amanda. |
Naja | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:46 am     To me, the #1 thing you would not know from just the TV show is what a psycho Dana is. I am not kidding when I say that my friends that don't have the feeds completely did not understand David's "psycho Bi^%$" comments. She comes across A LOT more normal on the TV show. --> Almost like a helpless victim when they showed how she was left out of the Michelle vote info until the last minute. |
Spunky | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 09:36 am     I just hope they air the filth that Robert said during the night and maybe the tv watchers will be so outraged that they'll boycot the show... If the internet people can't do this, maybe the tv watchers will... |
Justareader | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 10:16 am     I really don't think you could know how goofy Dave really is if you did not have the feeds. |
Koh | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 10:50 am     Tissy, doesn't the UK have freedom of speech? |
Kitt | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:06 am     Yes it does Koh, I think Tissy just meant that it wouldn't be deemed acceptable to say the things that some of the US hgs say... and as in the UK the audience gets to decide who leaves the house, the offending guest wouldn't be there for long, and would meet a frosty reception when they leave. That's also freedom of speech . |
Tissy | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:23 am     well yes we do. until you`ve entered the BBUK house. We have an excellent forum in the uk go to : http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/f/45/ds.html That will give you an insight into reactions from comments or views held by BBUK contestants |
Tissy | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:25 am     Hi Kitt |
Koh | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:30 am     Kitt, I guess the UK houseguests can't say what they really think. Too bad. At least the US houseguests don't have to worry about being PC. |
Rob_Robe | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:33 am     i guess this thread got hi-jacked ... don't you love it |
Kitt | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:46 am     Koh - they can say what they think, and people will say what they think about them too. Yes, Rob_Robe, annoying isn't it. Sorry if I encouraged it, it's just hard to ignore attacks. I will try harder! I've just re-found the wonderful Bunny's Tales, they've answered a lot of the questions I came to this thread to find out about. It might be helpful to others too: Bunny Tales |
Spunky | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:30 am     This to the original poster here. A perfect demonstration was Tuesday's show, an embellished version of what really happened in the house. However, it seems that Wednesday's show is the one to build up more tension just prior to eviction and HOH comp, and I still expect some of that tension to end up on tv as well. To the keen tv viewer however, it was evident how Dana and Nate hate each other and how emotional they both can be. |
Diacritical | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:58 am     Without the feeds, you would not know about Robert's alcoholism or stalking of Erika. You would not know about the girls' apalling lack of information on STDs or how vile Justin can be when he thinks he cannot be overheard. You would not know anything about the Jun's menses or Dana's psychoses. You would not know that Robert, Jee and Justin are playing Dana for a fool and that Robert has a vague homoerotic attachment to Justin. |
Chai | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:17 am     You wouldn't have known about Alli's reaction to Scott's warts revelation. (When she was crying and scrubbing the toilet.) You also would never know how it seems so predetermined which of the two nominees will be evicted. There's an element of suspense on TV that just isn't there on the LF's. (I'm not talking about spoilers, either.) |
Spunky | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 05:10 pm     Well, let's see if the tv show will air about Dave/Ali's romp. They didn't waste any time in showing Dave/Amanda's romp... |
Mranon | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 05:46 pm     You wouldn't know almost all of the HG's put on Perfume or Cologne before a live show (not just the persons on the block!).. Umm, guys and gals? Smell-O-Vision hasn't been invented yet! Do they think Julie plans to come through the TV? |
Donut | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:07 pm     thanks for all the info! I have the feeds, but not the patience to watch them.. btw Spunky, what horrible things did Robert say? where can i find it here? also, it's interesting about the UK version, particularly since hubby said last week that after watching BB4, he really wishes we could watch the UK version instead. From what i read here, I wish it even more..I don't think rude degrading racist idiotic comments are all that entertaining, and i wouldnt miss them for a second.. I am sure that its not a matter of having to make a conscious effort to be PC..its just whether or not you have a natural inclination for crap to come out of your mouth or not.. and imho, the most interesting and compelling HGs have been great without the crap.. |
Donut | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:55 pm     thanks for the link to the UK board! It's really fun over there! The comments on the swearing were great..I wish we got chicken cam too instead of FOTH... and its not fair that UK gets to watch the US but US doesnt show us UK! They had a lot to say about FOTH..We should really have more interchange across the pond..i always wondered why this board seems to be nearly all North American..ok, i will stop being offtopic now.. |
Spunky | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:59 pm     I knew they were going to reserve the nastiness for the Wednesday show... Dana got her fair share of bad comments by others, even her minions complained she's too emotional and that will hurt her in the game. The commentator stressed on the word "she betrayed"... and was called a liar again and again... She won't like this episode when she'll see it, and to see her enemy win HOH was the coup de grace!! |
Konamouse | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 09:05 am     Sometimes we get Turtle Cam, instead of FOTH. 'squeek' |
