Gemma120in2002 | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 12:42 pm     I don't think that one has anything to do with the other. I just went to the site on the off chance that I might see him there, and was surprised to find someone who looks remarkably like him, if it isn't him. Many of the contestants on Big Brother and other reality shows seem to make the rounds looking for their 15 minutes of fame. Mike Boogie was always trying to get into one show or another before Big Brother. |
Gemma120in2002 | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 12:44 pm     Thanks Drahied! That really does make it easy to see that it's probably the same person. You're so talented! |
Bastable | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 01:35 pm     After looking through Brandon's Web site, I'm very glad that he's not going to be around. He's uploaded a video of him and his friend beating each other up at a bachelor party (!!), and it ends with Brandon spitting blood toward the camera. He's got a collection of sexist cartoons and pictures (ladies with large breasts, etc.). He seems to take every opportunity to take off his shirt and strut around and let everyone know how hot he thinks he is.... Just what I didn't want to watch all summer. I wish him all the best on Dog Eat Dog or wherever he ends up (next stop, Blind Date!), but I am glad that I won't have to participate in that kind of frat house inanity this summer. The last thing I want to stomach is another stampeding ego of another toys-obsessed California stereotype. Good luck, Brandon! |
Laisey | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 01:48 pm     I hope Brandon was one of their recruits and not someone who actually wanted to be on the show and applied. Maybe then they'd rethink the recruiting idea. |
Crossfire | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Yep...I agree with Bastable. |
Shortnsweet | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 02:16 pm     >>another stampeding ego of another toys-obsessed California stereotype.<< Nice use of words Bastable. I think that is exactly what A.S. was looking for. I sure there will be other stereotypes to annoy us. |
Tishala | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 02:35 pm     Yes, all of us toy-obsessed Californians are happy about the felicitous use of words. |
Bastable | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 02:36 pm     LOL Tish-- you are neither toy-obsessed or a stereotype! But it'd be fun to watch you on Dog Eat Dog! |
Tishala | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:29 pm     Ruff! Ruff! |
Shaggy2005 | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:31 pm     In reply to the pic of the Dog Eat Dog dude, on the top corner of the Dog Eat Dog site, there's a pic that says Video Clips. If you click on it, it takes you to a page with clips from the show. The very last on is called Treadmill Trivia and features the dude in the picture. His name is Spencer...not Brandon; but they do look alike. |
Laisey | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:35 pm     I sort of remember reading in a thread somewhere that he had applied for Dog Eat Dog, but didn't make the show. |
Jedisan | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:36 pm     nice work Shaggy |
Lurknomore | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:37 pm     Wannabee's. That's all BB has now....Wannabee's. BLECH!!!!!!! |
C1mag | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:42 pm     Has anyone pointed out now that with Brandon gone all of a sudden there is now an equal amount of women and men and once again we start with 12 if they don't bring someone in to replace him. This is looking more and more like a publicity stunt to me. What do you think? |
Cjr | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:49 pm     My vote is for publicity stunt. |
Pamy | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:53 pm     C1, my thoughts exactly, see my post at 11am today, where I give even more reasons why I think so. |
Crossfire | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:54 pm     FBI dude does not come off as a wannabee. |
C1mag | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:57 pm     I'm beginning to feel the same way. My girlfriend pointed out that it's odd that the playing field is now equal with the same amount of women and men now that Brandon is gone. How conveniant that they just happened to have 13 instead of 12 to begin with and how conveniant that it just happened to be there was one extra male and how conveniant that a male has left the show and how conveniant that the commercials have all been saying that one may even leave on the first day. Uh yeah... It's smellin!! LOL |
Cjr | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 04:24 pm     I think FBI guy wants his own FBI action series lol. |
Laisey | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 04:47 pm     I really don't think this is a publicity stunt. AS is a TELEVISION producer. If it were a stunt, they might promo some teasers, but they would never have removed Brandon's picture from the CBS site until after the first show aired on the west coast, nor would Brandon have had some of the information posted on his site that was there. I'm convinced he was removed from the show and probably before the HGs entered the house. |
Wilsonatmd | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 04:55 pm     Exactly, Laisey...why spoil that someone left the first night before it aired on TV? No...this is him being DQ'd for some reason or another....we should hear something Monday or Tuesday before the show (because of the holiday, no one was probably in the PR department to do a release).....if we don't something is truly up. |
Laisey | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 05:14 pm     Wilson, wouldn't you hate to be the first person in the office in the morning? You'd probably hear the phones ringing before you got the door unlocked. Personally, I'd take an immediate, very extended coffee break. |
Amac | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 05:15 pm     I just logged on and don't know if if anyone else has pointed it out already but I saw the BB promo commercial on TV about 10-15 minutes ago and Brandon is a part of that commercial. Now, if Brandon has been kicked off the show for whatever reason, why has CBS not re-edited that commercial to remove him? What's going on? |
Wilsonatmd | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 05:19 pm     Amac, because of the 3-day weekend, I suspect (other than at the BB set) they have a skeleton crew everywhere else, and just don't have the manpower to reedit anyhting right now.... |
C1mag | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 05:20 pm     You don't find it a "little" odd that if he is not replaced the playing field is now conveniantly level between the sex's? You don't find it a little odd that the promos did hint that maybe one might not even make it through the first night? Any smart cookie would start the ball rolling as soon as they could to build it up so why wouldn't they remove his shot on the website now? Thats called publicity. Who's to say that they had every intention right from the beginning of getting rid of this guy? Perhaps they were going to eliminate one person of the 13 right from the beginning and he ended up being the one that got the boot. I guess we will have to wait but even if it wasn't initially a publicity stunt you can bet it's gonna turn into one real fast. ET is gonna love this one. |
