I know that there was only one banner last year. Why? I know the entire Nicole banner sent her off of the edge in BB2. Did Arnie and CBS find a way ($$$ or legal) to keep the banner-flying planes on the ground? Inquiring minds want to know...especially those of us who have forgotten.

After 9-11 air space was restricted, plus Arnie forbid anyone from looking up at a banner if one did happen to appear.

Think he's going to be as hard-nosed about it as last year? I can understand he wants to keep contol of the game and banners can have an effect. I take it that the producers have made it an "evictable" offense to look up at one, correct?

Ah...I miss the good-old days.

BTW: I'm not familiar with the airspace around LA. Is the area near the BB house restricted? I know there are parts of Dallas and Fort Worth that are restricted...but that is near "sensitive locations" (examples: old Carswell AFB / now the Joint Reserves Base or power stations).

The house is about 20 min to 2 hrs from LAX(depending on traffic!LOL), I think it is close to Burbank airport also. Another problem was there were threats to the studios after 9-11, so they all tightened up security. The ways people knew how to get close to the house were imposible last year.

I live about ten minutes from DFW airport and can relate about the traffic. I can understand about the safety issues.

I am not sure but it seems to me that last year the HGs were told to go into the house a number of times because planes were flying banners. There was supposedly an agreement NOT to read the banners or risk expulsion from the game.

You are right Sun - they were told if they looked at banners that they would be put up for nomination or some such thing. I was watching the live feeds when the 1st plane flew and Marcel kinda freaked out - the others were calm, some went in the house, some stayed outside and ignored it.

LOL I am a BB addict.........I know too many obscure facts from all seasons! The banners were a lot of fun in the first two seasons. I loved watching people become paranoid when faced with 'what they had said and done' in the house.

I only wish that they played a 'video clip' of the evicted HG on the Live Show like they used to on BB1....I laughed so hard at Jordan when she was faced with what had been caught on cam about her. Mind you, I do awknowledge that she is still having mental problems because of being on the show.....but it was funny.
