Damn – to highlight or not to highlight? Do I want to know, knowing that if I know I can’t unknow the knowledge?
Ya know, I went through season 2 spoiler free. I didn’t enjoy it as much. Season three I was a spoiler whore and that’s where I intend to stay! Hopefully I’ll be getting the live feed this weekend so I won’t have to depend on highlighting.
I doubt you’re the only one. It seems every reality show has its conspiracy theorists. What they never seem to be able to explain, though, is (1) what possible motivation the network folks might have to do that, and (2) how they could expect it to remain secret.
Anyhoo…I’ll be watching, though as others have said, it’s not a very interesting group this time. Seems that way so far, at least. (And add me to the Jun-hater list.)
I dont think all Reality shows are rigged, this year of Big Brother is different though…How do you get Ex’s on a show together without them finding out in some way? They would have to say who there EX’s were where they lived now and so on?
What are they trying to say that it was a coincidence that each of the Ex’s applied for Big Brother and the producers saw this and decided it was a good idea to put them together?
If thats the case then they eliminated many others who could have joined the show…Just because they didn’t formerly date someone in the house? I think its rigged because they didn’t explain how they found the Ex’s and how they went about it without them knowing they were moving in with them.
Plus I agree anyways, its unfair to not have everyone have an Ex in the house. It just all seems fishy to me.
Deadmime, from what I saw last night, they brought up the subject of exes in every applicant’s pre-selection interview. I imagine the ones with the worst horror stories got picked and then the exes were approached.
Hell, if you were approached by the producers of Big Brother and told that they were asking random residents of big-city neighborhoods to audition for Big Brother, would you suspect a set-up? I imagine they canvassed the exes and then put all the people with exes who were willing to go on the show in the final pool, and picked from there.
I agree that it doesn’t seem strictly fair to have 5 of the hamsters have a hostile witness living in the house with them. But then, the Great Return of last year wasn’t really fair either, even if it did bring back my beloved Suzanne Sugarbaker for another month of drunken Southern hilarity.
Perhaps thats how they did it, I don’t know maybe I am being a bit cynical about the idea… I liked Big Brother 2 the best so far. I just think that rather then making up these weird ideas of bringing in Ex’s and stuf,f they should just stick with the previous years ways. I mean it’s obviously done for ratings and i understand that because who wont turn into see Ex’s locked in a house together at each others throats.
I however think that doesn’t necessarily make it interestting when rigging it that way. I mean either way you look at it it’s still rigged because it was the shows idea to do it that way and to set up the rooms so an Ex will have to sleep in the same room as another Ex.
It might still be fun to watch
Ranger boy was in the 2nd battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment and left as a Corporal with a Ranger tab. Things move fast there.
You know what the problem is? No grown-ups, except the FBI guy.
I prefer a few adult players – They’re more real.
Oh, Jesus, this is boring. They cook. They eat. They say things. They say other things. OK, I don’t mind looking at Greek God Guy, but . . . Where’s the drinking? The weepy breakdowns? The screaming fights?
Eve, just you wait.
You know what they ought to do? Screen for an all-alcoholic cast and put them in a house for 3 months with no alcohol.
Ooooo, Rehab House! Get smokers and junkies and alkies and put them in a no-fun zone! Then we’d see some fireworks.
okay, here we go, it’s bathing suit time
(by the way, I’d like to sincerely thank Jayjay in advance for the recaps. His were better than TWOPs anyway, but now that TWOP isn’t doing them, he’s all I’ve got. For the second year, I’m following this trainwreck via the internet - no TV for me. This is to ensure that nobody thinks I’m virtuous just because I don’t watch TV.)
Jesus, Johnny Fever is still wearing a stocking cap, with his bathing suit! What’s he got, feathers instead of hair?!
“We need this hot tub.” sigh.
“I tried not to touch Jack too much,” says Jen, afraid she’ll get Old-Person Cooties. Exscuse me, dear, but Old Jack has one of the best bodies of the entire group!
Cheatie-ex has no eyebrows, and scary James Woods eyes . . .
Oh, and men? Never, ever wear stocking caps. If you own one, burn it, now.
My vote goes for one long thread… at least through mid-season. Keep everything in one place.
Just my .02 worth.
Special hello to jayjay and LolaCocaCola - I’m looking forward to another summer of updates/opinions from you both. 
Ok…I’m so surprised no one else mentioned this.
What’s up with the Bed Pass thing? Robert (Cheatie-ex in Eve lingo, Bishop in mine) and Jee (Jun’s Korean ex-boyfriend) both used their bed passes to kick women out of their beds. “Nothing personal” they say. The other 3 ex’s all said in the diary room that they thought using the Bed Pass was rude or a good way to start tension. I know chivalry is dead and all, but jeez. Not a good impression IMO.
The goo thing was funny, very reminicent of Gerry last year (and they even said so). The chum contest was kinda sick. Kneeling on those buttons had to be painful. I thought Amanda was being kinda bitchy when she said she thought Alison could have “held out a little bit longer”. I know she had the guts dropped on her, but damn, she wasn’t kneeling on a button for 25 minutes.
The stocking cap has to go, I agree with Eve on that.
So far, it’s been pretty quiet. Give them a week.
