Xarph--that is so funny. They should be shown a picture like this just to get them worried. They're too smug and arrogant as it is.

ROFL, Xarph, you are hilarious.

Last night Dana was crying a bit. Said she didn't want to be sequestered alone. I too like being alone, but I think Dana needs to have people around. I know she will be talking to herself. I don't know if she will know there are cameras on her.

Will the sequestered people have a TV, CD's, etc? Books? Do they get meals delivered or do they have to cook for themselves? LOL, it would have been funny to see Michelle there. She was so funny trying to make the garlic bread..cute.

To make their time in the sequestered location seem special and have them believe their 15 minutes of fame have been extended, tell each evicted hg that former hgs from previous seasons will be there! Have the former hgs in charge of all their food, assign chores, allow whatever recreational activites they will enjoy--basically run the show. And then see their faces when those hgs turn out to be...


BB1 Curtis (to deal with any Asian prejudices)
BB2 Bunky (to deal with any homophobic issues)
BB3 Marcellas (double whammy: gays and blacks)

Can you just see the look on some of these hgs faces when they know their comfort and happiness the next few weeks are based on the judgment of folks they've been bashing for a month?! :)

Cricket they all packed CDs and DVDs for their sequestration. Only one person didnt pack anything and that was Alison because she said she didnt have time. I believe they can have books and other entertainment. They will also be allowed supervised phone calls to family and friends. I suspect Dana will be on the phone the minute she gets in the door and probably wont get off for a week. Am I the only one who wants Nathan out next so that Dana and Nathan are stuck in a house alone together for a week???? That would be perfect.

What I wouldn't give for a full week alone. Sounds wonderful to me.

I do think that it will drive Dana over the edge though.. alone for a week and she's still on the CBS lot instead of a fancy resort on the beach! LOL I sure hope we get to watch some of this on the feeds.. or the show at least.

They might even let whoever friends or family come out for her eviction stay with her the first night, or something.

Since they have cams all over the place, they can tell the Dana and the guest that if the guest discusses the show, Dana won't be able to vote with the jury.

Thanks, Maris. I hadn't read about that.

Beachmama, yeah, I could go for a week alone, especially if someone made all my meals. If they do show feeds of her, I might have to break down and get them, even though they aren't good on my dial-up.

The worst thing that could happen is if Justin gets out next week. Sheesh, it would be a week of watching he and Dana making out. The person who goes next week gets a double whammy. The surprise of not being on a beach and having to live a whole week alone with Dana. I hope it's Robert.

Guys, sequestered does not mean solitary
They likely will have open contact with BB4 people at a minimum; they won't be BB contestants anymore
Remember the tapes last year from the resorts?
They were not isolated

LOL Maris. Two evil minds at work here... while watching the show this morning I was snickering thinking what would that house be like if Dana exits this week and Nathan the next. Or even if Ali exits next week.

The main difference between last year and this year is that last year the viewers had no idea anyone would be returning. If someone saw Amy at the bar (I meant cheese bar, of course), the comments were just I liked you on the show, etc. There was no reason to suspect Amy was not being alowed to know what was going on since she left, so no reason to comment. In addition, there was probably a handler standing close to stop/change the conversation if necessary.

This year if they were to allow an evictee out in public they run the risk of a fan of that person getting close enough to shout info about DRs and the show. For that reason, I don't think the evictees will see the light of day anyplace other than the CBS lot (if that is, indeed, where the 2nd house is).

Costa I would love it. I first want to see Dana's face when she sees she just has to drag that duffel bag across the lot. She will say to the walls for about ten minutes, I am so f'ing pissed, then an hour later she will be saying this is "off the hook" as she listens to her music and eats good food.

A week later we see Nathan dragging his duffel bag across the lot. Nope Nathan no mexico, put away the passport. Before he gets over that shock he walks into a house and there is Dana. As he walks over to what he believes is the "new love room" Dana wags her finger and says "Ah, Ah, Ah, That be my room. The desert room is available honey". She goes over to the t.v. and puts on her favorite movie "the boys in the band". She turns to Nathan and says, Isnt this going to be great.

Nathan wonders whether he has enough clothes to last a full week till Alison gets out to do his laundry. Has anyone ever seen Nathan do laundry or touch the dryer?

Dan

One thing we know will happen is: Guess who's coming to greet the new evictee each week? the old evictees, of course.

The evictees being sequestred, they won't be alloud to see their family. Who best to replace them then their old "friends" from the "hood".

Can you imagine Dana welcoming Alison next week.

We know CBS ain't gone let one like that pass, don't we?

The quote from the producers concerning the sequestering.
=====
"The producers also decided this year to open up another house to sequester players who have been voted out of the "Big Brother" house, starting with the fifth banished houseguest. That way, the final group of seven players -- who ultimately return to pick the show's winner -- won't be swayed by what they see on the show. They'll be allowed to watch portions of what airs on the "Big Brother" telecast, but not segments from the "Diary Room" -- in which contestants reveal secrets about their strategy. Those isolated players will continue to be taped, with some footage from house No. 2 likely to be used on the show. "When they're in this house, they're still playing the game," Grodner said. Decision to keep sequestering the players came after last year's show, when producers felt that banished houseguest voters were swayed by watching the Diary Room comments." - Variety, June 30th, 2003

If they are still playing the game, does that mean they might have a chance to win something?

Cosmo

Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 06:45 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Cricket, you'd sure think so. Because if the house is not a luxury experience as they seem to think, wouldn't there have to be more than a stipend carrot to keep them there? I mean, one of the good things about being evicted (i.e., losing the game) is that you can be out with your loved ones and living life again. Especially if they are gonna be sequestered in a house with cameras on the CBS lot! For the honor of coming back to vote for the winner?

There's gotta be a better enticement than that!

$750.00 a week.

Plus a contract they signed

Cosmo

If they were to walk out of the sequester house, would they lose more than their stipend money? Similar to if they walked out of the BB house? Because without a full jury, the show would have a serious problem.

Laisey

Cosmo, They've managed to persuade people to stay in the past. I think the contract is worded so that CBS can pretty much stop any show business aspirations or publicity appearances for either one or two years. That was what they reminded Jamie of when all of BB1 was going out and she then calmed that situation down. When Krista wanted to leave, I believe they dangled something in front of her about future possibilities. Dana's the one I would worry about and if she should leave, they could go with a 6-person jury and a viewer vote in case of a tie.

We need some one with Screen Actors' Guild expertise -- I believe they become members when they sign
I imagine it is the same situation as if an actor walked out of a moviebefore his/her role was completed

More On The Sequester House

Here's some info we know for a fact:

- There are less than 10 cameras in the house
- It IS on the CBS Lot
- There are separate rooms for privacy
- There IS a TV in the house, and the HGs will get to watch the show without the DR clips
- It is unknown whether the HGs will get time outside, but it is assumed they will
- It seems whoever is evicted on Wednesday will live in the house alone, although they will have contact with CBS staff

I would love to see Dana be voted out this week but- get to stay in the house (to stir up trouble). Then when the next person is voted out the 2 of them move to the sequestered house.

This is whats going to happen. Dana is gone this week and going to the house alone. She will be board of corse for a week but then here comes Ali for 1 week. The 2 of them sit and talk and become very close friends for 1 week, then Nat showes up at the front door, SUPRISE!!! Im home!!!!! Ali then takes Nat is a room and spills all Dana's juicy stories and makes up a few along the way. Then Nat and Ali stop talking to Dana and she's alone again until Jun come a ringing at the front door, they all greet her and off to the kitchen they go. Jun cooks a nice dinner talks in private with Dana and those 2 have a good time all week togeather as Nat and Ali are still sticking togeather as a TEAM(LOL) Waiting 1 more week until the doorbell rings again All 4 run to the door, It's CBS this time, Telling them the show is over! The 2 cooks got the boot and the rest of the house guests Starved To Death.

Sean what exactly would you like to know...I'll see if I can remember it. One of my clients used to be AFTRA/SAG.

If you are asking how to get a card (be a union member) it is somewhat of Catch 22...you need hmmm think it was two paying jobs to qualify, but many projects would only hire folks if they were already members. Of course the union would try to give "exceptions" to folks trying to get their cards so they could, in fact, get their cards. But you can't just go somewhere and sign up. You have to be working in the field. Was that what you wanted to know?

BTW Smoke did you hear them talking to Dana about how she won't get to "FLY OUT" till the next day to the house. If they don't show this live so help me I may kick my TV lolol. I can see Julie now..."Dana, allow me to escort to the lovely new Big Brother house where you will be sequestered" and they turn a corner. LOLOL
