That sounds right up AS' alley Pamy!

And as far as his website goes, the copyright date is 2000 but there are/were references to the year 2001. But since he keeps changing/adding/deleting things it's hard to keep up!

Surfing - yeah right!

He's lurking TVCH while changing his site to keep feeding the hype.

(Hey, that sounds like a rap lyric...hehehe)

hmm.... pamy good point! It does have that "frenchy" smell to it. They let her be seen all over the place for American Idol and then just at the right time they can her. Now AS did say that perhaps someone would leave the first night and maybe he knew in advance he was gonna be letting this one go. However, the impression I get from Brandons own words are that he was "pulled" from the show. Doesn't sound like he walked. Was it publicity? Probably. Will we ever really know? Probably not!

Hey Zachsmom! You from Laguna too? Whats up neighbor? :)

If they were not going to replace him then I think they would have put an X over his name and not removed all references to him from the website.

Unless I am getting confused, at one point he said on his website that he was booted for trying to contact his G/F from the hotel, I don't know if he even made it into the house.

Ryn I think the quote about contacting the gf was taken from another website board and on his own website he said that quote came from some imposter. On his website all he mentioned was that he was pulled from the show but could not give details right now.

Ryn if I'm not mistaken (which happens once or twice a decade at least hehe) the fake Brandon said that in the alleged chat he supposedly went to last night at BB4somethingorother. He DID say on his web site that wasn't him.

Irvine C1mag..but work in Laguna Hills small world huh?

I wanted to root for Brandon too, but after viewing his website, I am kind of glad he's gone. Can't really pin it on any one thing, just the whole picture. Then again, pictures can be decieving.

He's also in a committed relationship, and those type of HGs can be boring! I WANT EXCITEMENT! I want another "Don't talk to her" ala Chiara to Roddy about Amy lol!

I believe the first season had only 10 houseguests.

I think if this was a planned move, they would not have removed Brandon from the web site, as he would have still been one of the cast...whether leaving the first night or not.

I believe the statement about trying to call his gf was from the supposed Brandon on the chat. But what do I know? I just realized that I've been up over 7 hours haven't thought to eat. No wonder my head's spinning.

Ryn..that makes sense about X-ing him instead of removing him, but I still find all of this hard to believe.
Is it possible to create a website and put any copywrite year you want??
I just find this all so convient that the guy they pulled is so internet savy and lives out here.

Zachsmom: Orange County is in da House!! That is very cool and it is a small world. Yeah I was all set to cheer the hometown guy on as well but after watching that one video of him and his buddy beating the hell out of each other I wasn't too impressed. I'm still scratching my head as to why he would put that stuff on the Internet. Are grown adults suppose to be impressed with that stuff?

I'm down with everything you said... I want excitement!

ps..I forgot to ask..Has Brandon leaving been confirmed???? Could this just be a case of CBS messing with their site before the show starts?

C1mag

Well Pamy I think Brandon himself confirmed it on his website.

Ok. Sounds like it is true. I doubt someone trying to stir trouble would go to all the trouble of creating a website and all. Thanks C1
I grew up and still work in OC

Lurk - certainly a valid point - and there are always those that want it to remain like it "always has been". Nothing wrong with that.

I think for the most part though, the majority of people appreciate the change every year, whatever it may be. In a show like this - I almost think you *have* to change it - or the people in the house already know what to expect and aren't forced to think on their feet (or off in some cases LOL).

Call me trashy, but he could create as many FOX quality TV Trashfests as he wants - as long as they are entertaining I'll watch every one of 'em.

He hasn't quite stooped to Fox level - YET.

If you look at the beginning of this thread you will find the link to his website if you wanna check it out. The videos and pictures of him pretty much confirm that it is his website and he does comment about this current situation.

Wow OC peeps are everywhere on this board LOL! Right on!! We're all gonna have to meet someplace and have a viewing night for evictions this year hahaha!

Yeah, I had the same thought C1. He (and I hope this is within the guidelines), does not appear to be the brightest bulb on the tree. Bare-knuckle brawling is not a terribly smart thing to be doing.

but it is oh so fun to watch!!

C1mag

Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 11:32 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I agree Cross. Isn't that an odd video? Whats even more strange is that on his site he concludes that he still has his integrity. Uh... so I suppose that the video of fighting builds character and integrity? hahahaha ... some people crack me up!

Pamy.. hahahaha! I sorta like the surfing vid with the healthy woman and her bouncing lunch box's so I guess we all have certain entertaining tastes ... :)

Zachsmom

Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 11:34 am EditMoveDeleteIP
He must have taken the video down! I get a "page not found" error when I click the link! DARN!

I agree C1..we need to set up a time and place for an eviction party!

All true Avenger, but my concerns and strong dislikes are that Arnie keeps moving farther and farther away from the concept of big brother. I agree that shows have to stay fresh, add twists, tweaks, and grow. But I think BB had a great concept and didn't need to be completely revamped into a Real World meets As the World Turns knock off.

I don't so much want it "as it's always been" as I want it to be INTERESTING, done with real people, and not just a Jerry Springerfest which is how I view it heading since AS took over. These are my personal opinions and viewpoints, but it gets sleezier and sleezier.

The one thing I disagree with you is that it hasn't sunk to FOX's standards yet. Personally I thought Joe Millionare was better done than BB in terms of class. Man I just made myself shudder LOL.
