Laisey | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 07:21 am     Philamom, Ah, yes, I remember it well. I don't remember it doing anything good for Dallas though. That was one of the most unsatisfying plots I ever watched. I'm just waiting to see if CBS's PR people manage to turn this dream into a nightmare. |
Fabnsab | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:36 am     You would think CBS would have sequestered him till the show started to avoid all this hoopla. I don't believe it is a ratings ploy. IF AS has proven anything in the last years is that he doesn't give a hoot about the internet people so he wouldnt care that we were buzzing about a picture being off the website. He already has us watching. Any ratings ploy will be played up on tv to get the non watchers hooked. |
Tabbyking | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:45 am     i think AS does give a hoot, but pretends not to. it was through us that he discovered chiara's code, etc. i think he needs us, whether he appreciates us or not! |
Hamsterlady | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:46 am     Jeeeeezzzz! Can we just start the show already??? I'm dying over here... I can't wait any longer!!!! |
Bastable | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:47 am     I agree. I think he loves us unless he needs to control us. |
Therlin | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:54 am     According to welovebigbrother.com CBS has announced that Brandon has been removed and will be replaced with a fifth "ex." The fifth "ex" will be revealed tomorrow night on CBS. They give no information as to why he was removed. We will try to find out. |
Carrly | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:57 am     So this means that Brandon had no "ex" in-waiting, because if he did the "ex" factor would be decreased by one instead of increased by one! |
Therlin | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:57 am     I wonder if this means that a previously single person will now have an ex visiting them. The producers did say that no one was safe from having an ex visit them so it looks like it was true. |
Crossfire | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 09:00 am     Heh, people without ex's are going to feel like losers who couldn't come up with a worthy romance. |
C1mag | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 09:53 am     An alliance of three could actually take down the whole house but if one of the non "ex's" is Jack you can probably forget about an alliance of 3. I think Jack will think he can win it all on his own. Ho hum.... with all these "ex's" I'm back to not liking the "ex" factor once again. The most boring part of last year was Eric and Lisa and it looks like Arnie wants a whole house full of them. |
Sherbabe | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 10:53 am     Sorry, if this question has been asked, but, Do they know yet that their ex's are going to be in the house w/ them or will it be a surprise to them? They are in house already, right? But first episode tomorrow. |
Ryanc829 | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 10:55 am     I think it's supposed to be a suprise for both halves of the couples. |
Realrealityfan | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:04 am     Since Arnold has always kept the HG's sequestered from each other until they enter the house, doubt that knew anything about it...Isn't that the reason he was going to have them enter in two different groups at different times...So very likely they have no idea that there was a Brandon or anything about him being replaced.... |
Ryn | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:04 am     The Ex's were supposed to enter the house about 2 hours after the 1st 9 entered. of course that all has already happened - we just don't know the results yet. |
Gemma120in2002 | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:07 am     This is something that's confusing me. People are talking as though the houseguests have already entered the house. Am I wrong, or aren't they supposed to enter the house on TV on Tuesday? |
Laisey | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:07 am     According to AS in his press conference, the first 8 went into the house first, followed about two hours later by the 5 ex's. During that 2 hours I believe the 8 are to be told that some of their ex's are coming in, but not whose ex. I have not read anything relative to the ex's being told anything just before they go into the house. I think they are going in totally unprepared. |
Hokeypokey04 | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:17 am     Why did they feel the need to start this days before we can ever know? You'd think that they would have live feeds of the exs going in to get more people interested in the show and possibly buying the feeds. I think they started this a little bit too early this year. There's going to be a lot of catching up that we'll need to do. |
Crossfire | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:20 am     They have done this in the past. We do a pretty good job as time goes by putting the first few days back together. |
Laisey | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:23 am     Hokeypokey, that been a question since BB1 when the show and feeds started live. Think TV production -- four days of film to edit down to less than hour. They want all they can get to produce the first show; after all, the first show is when they want to hook the audience. |
Gemma120in2002 | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:25 am     I went searching for info and I found the Dallas Morning News interview with Arnold Shapiro. I think that this is where the confusion is coming from: Arnold Shapiro: Just to answer one question, there will be - there are nine houseguests who will enter. Four of them are going to be surprised at some point in the show by four others. None of the exes know what's going to happen. The ones who are already in the house, the ones who will enter the house do not know. It's going to be a surprise for all eight of them plus the five single people. We have 13 houseguests this year, rather than 12. Dallas Morning News: Are all 13 of these people going to be entering the house at one time? Do you have them sequestered somewhere now? AG: Yes, they are all safely sequestered at this moment. The 13 houseguests will enter the house, but in different groups the nine that originally entered will not know whether they have an ex entering the house or not. What I understand, after reading this several times, is that they are all going to be entering the house on Tuesday, but in different groups. The group that has been revealed on the internet will enter first, and then later on in the same show, the remaining houseguests, will enter and surprise the others. I may be wrong, but this what I understand from the article I found here: http://www.tvbarn.com/tvbarn2/msg03057.shtml |
Grannyg | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:30 am     Remember last year when Dani and Jason made that secret alliance I think the very first nite or maybe the next but it was during the time we didn't get the feeds. As some point later, it was discussed that they had made the alliance early on. There also were times when we were not sure if Jason's alliance with Dani was rock solid as he seemed to waver from time to time. Still the actual alliance was formed before we got to see the show or feeds. Am I totally confused on this matter? |
Tabbyking | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:32 am     gemma, the people ARE in the house. they go in a few days before we get to see the first episode. there is usually a challenge of some sort already completed, too, such as last year's nest sitting. |
Tabbyking | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:34 am     granny, you are right. i know i said, "what early alliance?" about dani and jason. i sure never saw it.... |
Grannyg | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:37 am     Thanks tabby. so glad i'm not losing my mind just yet. not before the crap shoot to see who comes out on top of this BB. There may be alliances right now that we don't know anything about. But hopefully when the show's off and the camera's are on we will see what's really happening. |
Grannyg | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 11:41 am     Somebody is working at CBS because the web page now has the cast line with the roll over description of each person working. That wasn't working yesterday. Also they have moved David up to the first line instead of the second line. Maybe the site is fixing to be ready to go. |
