Wanderer | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 08:53 am     This is the first time I have even thought about emailing anyone about a TV show. This years BB is a complete farce and I realized it after last night. It has been so easy to tell who they want up as for drama it has gone back and forth since the beginning. The language is so bad and they always make sure the older houseguests do not win.I suggested it is time for them to add a twist and let the public vote (like that will Happen) but I did let them know that being one of the over 40 group that are one of the top consumers, I will no longer support any one of their sponsors. Goodbye McDonalds and HELLO Burger King |
Maris | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:02 am     I disagree. Every year people complain that the older houseguests arent allowed to win and every year the older houseguests lose the game on their own. People yell fix whenever their favorite player doesnt move ahead. What about the elephant and Ali? everyone yelled fix that Justin was handed it. Nobody seems to remember Ali walking around with a stupid stuffed elephant. Jack the older guest lost this one all on his lonesome. He got the easiest questions wrong and totally over thought this game. The people who are at the end of this game, like it or not, played the game. The bad language? Do we forget Chiara and her mouth like a sewer? If you want to complain about the over 40 group not being allowed to win, it is better to complain about their choices as their over forty crowd. Kent, Gerry and Jack? Then again, who on earth would even apply to be on big brother if they were over forty? I guess the pickins were slim. My complaint about this year was that it was a dull group and lacking in intelligence. Whatever you have to say about Chiara, Roddy, Amy, Marcellas and Dani, they were a pretty intelligent group and very sharp. These were not the sharpest knives in the drawer |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:06 am     True Maris, but let us not forget that the winner of last year's show didn't know what a "plum" was!! |
Maris | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:11 am     One can be extremely intelligent and not know facts. I admit not knowing what a plum was boggles the mind but even though I didnt mention Lisa in my list of sharp people on the show, I dont think she was all that dumb. The prize for the least intelligent person on BB3 in my mind went to Erik. |
Wanderer | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:19 am     I don't at this point care who wins, Would like to see Jun and Erica go for it. I know that in the past they have had bad mouths but it seems that this year has been the worst. I agree that it is the lack of intelligence that causes a lot of the problem. One of the biggest problems that I am finding is that people pay for 24/7 and don't get it. Too much FOTH and that is not a good consumers value. It is cheating the public for what they pay for. Anyway no more McDonalds and no more live feeds. Btw I don't think they are allowed to let a certain person win, only point them in a direction and make it easy to find the way up. |
Crazydog | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:27 am     Monica was one of the older houseguests on BB2, I think she was 40. She finished in third place. Of course, Sheryl and Kent were older, but nonetheless I think she still should be considered "older". The reason why she lasted so long is that she never made her age an issue. Gerry certainly made age an issue by comically trying to fit in with people 20 years younger than him. The reasons for Jack's eviction had nothing to do with his age. I never heard any of them saying that they wanted to get him out because he was old and that bothered them. They got rid of him because they thought he was a good player. Jack could easily have stayed in the game if he had done better at competitions. If he had rolled that bocce ball just a little harder, he might still be in the game right now. I definitely don't think there was any ageism with respect to him and how he did in the game. |
Wanderer | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:47 am     I can understand Gerri, I even agree that Jack was bad at comps. but I felt like calling him a dirty old man and a pervert was over the line. Saying he was old and lame was another. I hope next year they do mix things up more. I loved Amy and Marc and they were as devious as anyone. |
Bohawkins | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:30 am     Wanderer... I think you should save your outrage for something which might make a difference in the world. To change your lifestyle so that you don't permit yourself to patronize businesses which advertised on BB4 would produce quite a bit of personal tension for you and your family. I would ask myself if all that sacrifice and personal trauma would be worth it. A boycott by one person would cause only you and your loved ones to suffer. It would accomplish nothing but to make you, and those around you, neurotic. Please keep us posted on your campaign. It might be newsworthy... sort of like the guy in the movie Broadcast news, who said, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore." Ummmm... Wouldn't a nice Subway turkey sandwich would be mighty tasty just about now? |
Kalekona | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:36 am     wasn't Burger King a spopnser this year along with Subway and McDonalds? (the parachutes) |
Crazydog | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:49 am     psst... Bohawkins, that quote was from the movie "Network". Peter Finch won a Best Actor Oscar. And yes, Burger King was a sponsor. So was Subway. Last year Dunkin Donuts was a sponsor, too. |
Maris | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:32 am     I would never boycott Dunkin Donuts. |
Rainwoman | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:39 am     All Jack had to do was roll a ball, LOL. I think you can't get any fairer than that, especially when there was no way of knowing where the ball would have stopped closest to the hole. I originally thought he actually threw that HOH. I think I would admit to that, than to say I couldn't roll a ball. LOL, well "maybe". Oh I so don't want to be Jack right now. |
Beruthiel | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:43 am     Best revenge against AS Productions - stop watching the show, and cancel your feeds. Watch some other show, and hurt them in the ratings and in their financial dealings. That's always the TV bottom line, not us poor suckers who pay money to watch the feeds and switch our sets to CBS on show nights. |
Azriel | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 04:51 am     You can't hurt them in the ratings unless you are a Nielsen home. |
Marej | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:16 am     Tell your true feelings about BB to the TV writers at the major newspapers. |
