Lostintheglades | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 02:06 pm     http://bigbrotherweb.netfirms.com/houseguest.htm I found the above link ...and these are the only sites that come up through a google search too. |
Elms | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 02:09 pm     BB probably pulled some quotes/messages from the HG's fansites (or regular message boards), along with a few pics/images, and constructed their own design with them for their fan boards. Alison also has these websites: EyesOnAlison Ali UK |
Emdanzma | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 02:12 pm     I was also just thinking that most of these websites that DO exist have a bunch of info on them that they don't want the hg's to read/see. You know like...'he lied to her about this'....or 'wonder if the hg's will figure this out'... or even other useless facts going on outside the bb house that just happen to be included on their site. ?? just a thought. |
Wendo | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 03:06 pm     Last year, the only site that appeared to be real was Amy's. Lisa, Jason, and Dani's sites where made up graphically with real quotes about them. I suspect that's what they did this year. (Although, I don't know why they didn't use Ali's real site. It's pretty good. Maybe a legal thing, who knows.) LOL about them pulling my quote though! Get this, I had forgotten I wrote that post, LOL!. But when she was reading it I thought, Dang, that sounds really familiar! LOL! Hey, I meant what I said though. I think it's kinda cool. (Plus, it definitely tells us, they visit here. Heh.) Now, if it gets read on tv on Tuesday's show...coooool! LOL! (10 seconds toward my 15 minutes of fame. Hahahahaha!) |
Helgapataki | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 03:17 pm     Zgood- Thanks for pointing out my quote on Alison's web page! At least, I hope it is mine. That would make me embarrassingly excited.  |
Vskatefan | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 03:28 pm     This site has tons of BB links including links to pages for the HGS http://www.sirlinksalot.net/bigbrotherfour.html |
Lori | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 03:32 pm     Yup...can't find any of the sites either! It's gotta be your quote Helgapataki! |
Chiparock | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 03:45 pm     In BB2, Nicole had fans who set up a website in her honor and named it "Nicslips" -- they even flew banners over the BB house cheering her on. I vaguely recall the webmistress asking permission to use posts so that they could be used on tv, which they then were. Does anyone else recall any more details? Perhaps that was so much of a hassle that CBS/BB decided to construct generic websites for the HGs in subsequent years. |
Bohawkins | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 03:49 pm     Zgoodgirl did an amazing piece of detective work. I am sure that the bb staff is reading this thread and just shaking their heads in wonderment. I know I am. You are a smart chick, Zgoodgirl. |
Whit4you | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 07:50 pm     Well I know the board they made for Will's was his real fan site - I made the graphics for it and when they showed it on prime time TV it made my whole summer Silly I suppose but I thought it was pretty neat that something I'd done was seen by a few hundred thousand people (even if only for a few seconds lol) The board they made for Amy was from her legit fan site as well. If I remember right a few of the quotes on one of the HG's fan 'boards' they showed them last year were taken directly from TVCH think it was Lisa's. |
Zgoodgirl | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 11:13 pm     *Blushing* TY BoHawkins. But honestly, the only reason I remembered those quotes was because I just read them a couple of days ago. Though I think it's cool that they snagged them off of here for the HGS, I do think it's still kinda shady that they have to lie and say that those are actual websites. Don't they know that the first thing these people are going to do is go online to try to pull them up? I tried to remember what Rob's and Jun's said, but the only thing that stuck in my mind was a quote about Jun's mentioning her at the VMAs and how she cleans up good. Guess what? In the Jun's Fan Thread, PrisonerNo6 says, "Just wanted to say that Jun was absolutely stunning at the awards show the other night. She cleans up good." These quotes are so original that they have to be coming from this site. Wouldn't it be cool if they snagged all the quotes from here? |
Meggieprice | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 11:27 pm     Last year they got some of the letters that were on their fake web site boards right from our Fan Mail thread here. Several of us had ours included- mine was one of them. I wrote a letter to Dani and I heard it read not once but several times word for word, including on the tv show. It was such a thrill! I knew then that they came here, no reson why they would not still do so! |
Juiceman | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 11:49 pm     Well for once I finally get to solve it with some insider information of my own. None of the three sites are real or exist anywhere outside CBS. As pointed out earlier - there is too much information on the real sites that would influence the game. There is also some fairly derogatory or at least 'inflamatory' items on those sites too. CBS webmaster made 'dummy' sites based on real ones - then took sample articles and pictures from real websites and pasted them on the 'dummy sites' they were shown. so the words and pictures and fan mail are real - the backgrounds and design are CBS's. One example is Robert site. Its actually called 'Robert Rules BB' but Rob saw a version called 'Rob Rules BB' and samples and pics from various places on the net. Roberts fan site is actually at www.kingsmuckers.com/Robert_RulesBB.htm It seems everyone already has figured that all out but I just thought I would confirm it and finally put to use some 'BB insider' stuff since I finally had some!! lol. Hey - I got to get a shout out to Rob today on the live chat so that was kinda cool too! Cheers |
Mich | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 03:13 am     ok, who the heck is that "brandon" fellow? on the link "lost" provided us?? anyone? |
Lostintheglades | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:39 am     I think CBS and BB are regular lurkers here at TVCH. Admin and Mods should be very proud. If they want to know what people are saying this is the easiest board to read and navigate. TVCH rules and BB knows it!!! |

Didn't they make them similar to web sites out there but none of them were the actual web sites, rather a compilation from various sites?" Isn't that the EPITOME of the last 3 BB series? Similar to the original, but just not quite the same.... (sigh...) |
Sisalou | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 05:07 am     Great detective work Zgoodgirl. I think its really neat that they used some quotes from our esteemed TVCH members! |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 06:16 am     Mich, that would be Brandon Showalter who was supposed to have been on the show. Check out the 'Brandon - Gone Already' thread in 'Outside The House'. |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:34 am     Whit, that's cool, I think I remember seeing Will's site that year on the show. ........... One of my sites (NOT BB related) was cited as a source by the Detroit Free Press one time. I STILL haven't stopped talking about it! (as you can see) |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:38 am     It's nice to think that CBS and BB may be watching us (pardon the pun) but I think that IF they are lifting quotes from this board and are NOT giving the board credit for it, that's not cool AT ALL! |
Spunky | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:50 pm     When they come out and want to check out those websites and can't find them they'll know they were fake... the "real ones" will shock them... |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:38 pm     Here's something I saw on the BB4BBq site that I thought was interesting regarding the fake fan sites........ FINALLY! Fake Websites Origin REVEALED! "Just to clear up the 'fake fan site' controversy from me, webmaster of Rob's fansite. CBS did in fact contact me along with other fansite webmasters and asked for permission to use the site as a 'template' for use on the show. They did make it clear that they would have to drastically change and modify it so it would not give away any potentialy game-altering information. Also in the case of Robs fansite they did not want Alison seeing herself refered to as 'Ms. NoseJob2000' or Erika refered to as 'Diabolical' not to mention the swear words and hot rumours etc. In any case, they were too late to use actual sites as templates and chose to create CBS 'dummy-version designs' instead. Robert Rules BB became 'Rob rules BB' and barely had any similarity in design or colours etc. For the record - The text the guests read seems to be entirely legit. I did see real quotes and articles on the CBS-version websites. It aint the greatest site ever built but I dont mind saying its a heck of a lot better than the CBS version the guests saw ;) Well I hope so anyway!!" - Justin posted by spamgirl BB4BBq

Ryn | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:31 pm     CBS didn't contact us - but did again use stuff from this site - as Morning Magic just captured in the live feeds - this is part of Ali's page - right from our fanmail area.... Mattsfriend33 Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 09:29 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ali your my favorite houseguest and I know your in it to win it.So do what you do best which is playing this game.Your a great player and maybe someday if i am lucky I will get to meet you.That would truly be an honor for me.Your smart and competitive in the house and by the way I know you and Donny will make it through BB4.Good luck to you in and outside of the house.

Ryn | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:43 pm     Actually - I think its all from this site.... part of 1st quote: Elms Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:03 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another Ali fan here. I get a kick out of watching the girl in action. While I have cringed at some things she has done/said, she knows how to play this game. She knows how to play the people she needs to play and when to do it. <snip by me> next quote: Wendo Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:16 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No kidding R1. You gotta give the girl credit. She does NOT give up. When she puts her mind to something she goes after it like a pitbull. then I already showed the main one. Lastly: Shoes4me Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 06:12 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ali is the epitome of every cheerleader/homecoming queen/popular girl I've ever known. The world revolves around her. Men are her playthings, women are intimidated by her. She is in total control of her universe. I think this makes for a great Big Brother contestant. She's been playing the game like it was a beauty pageant. Her veneered surface is perfect. She smiles to your face while sliding the knife into your back. I thought her HOH interview before Dana's eviction was very telling. Ali was candid & said that she is in the game for herself. She would do/say anything to win. <snip by me> I have a feeling the edited the last one a little - lol. |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:02 pm     Well they don't have to contact anyone as long as it's 'fair use' - and a few posts out of 20+ thousand is definately fair use. on Will and Amy's sites they used the full front page though so I assume they asked - I know both were thrilled to death to have their sites given to them though - and both sites got personal msg's from their respective stars - |
Bastable | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 05:16 pm     It's very important to note that on the CBS show, they said those three pages were "the things that people have said about us." They never called them actual Web sites. So although they look like Web sites, CBS is not calling them Web sites. They are, however, things that people have said about the HGs on the Web. So they're more like illustrations than anything, and CBS does not seem to be saying otherwise. |
