Big Brother 4: I Hate Them Already

I don’t like all the young punk kids they have on this time. I prefer whens its all older, set-in-their-ways crazy people :smiley:

I used to like BB, but I just don’t think I’ll be able to put up with this season’s crowd.

Spoiler time!

The first two nominees are…

Amanda and Jee (Fever’s ex and Jun’s ex).

I will be composing Wednesday’s recap tomorrow morning. Should be posted before 2PM…but don’t quote me. :slight_smile:

Notice that the touque is infecting other people now. Nathan was wearing one in Diary Room cuts tonight. And metamorphosing into a floppy beach hat. I think it’s really an alien with it’s hypnotic tentacles deep in Mr. Fever’s brain…

My prediction: The touque wins the money this year.

He’s got the same calculating expression as Will – I think you’re right.

On the other hand, this shrill litter of puppies may be too much for me – I’m not sure I’m going to be able to see this all the way through. Yeah, I realize that mature adults usually have lives they can’t leave for three months – but they’ve always managed to come up with a few. (Damn, I’m drawing a blank – who was that Southern guy, might have been a car dealer – I want to say Cliff, Clint but I know that’s not right.)

I said in the other thread I couldn’t get the Fantasy to let me log on. It turns out (as with several other things) that I have to turn OFF my 'net security guard ZoneAlarmPro for it to work. If it’s turned on it won’t work.:frowning:

Now that I’ve SEEN who they picked to be in the house, I’m glad that I didn’t send in my app (which is sitting in an envelope in my closet) because I know they would’nt have picked me. They didn’t pick anybody but prettyboys and stacked chicks this time around. Even the FBI agent Jack (??)is hot, for an oldger guy who looks like he’s wearing a dead racoon on his head. What’s UP with his hair? Am I the only one creeped out by it or what?

Actually, when I said “the touque”, I was referring to the evil alien intelligence sitting on Johnny Fever’s head, not Johnny Fever himself.

Shows how good I am at unambiguous jokes…

Or, see how (huh! huh!) subtle my own sense of humor is. Sorry – your remark was much better as a joke than a prediction (though obviously I thought it was a damn fine prediciton). Sigh.

Anyway, I’ve got two questions. (The answers to both may be common knowledge, in which case I apologize – I was visiting my two ancient aunts Friday through Tuesday, and was without access to pop culture news and the internet. Thank Og I got home in time to hear the breaking news about the vacuous blonde doing the horizontal mambo with her equally vacuous blond ex-boyfriend; but I digress.)

Question 1: Were these folks sequestered before going into the house? CBS was running the “we’re bringining in the exes!” ads starting about two weeks before the premiere. Even if they entered the house a day or two before the show started (which I know they did for either BB2 or BB3, if not both), it was for no more than a day or two. How did they keep news of that ad campaign from getting to the houseguests?

Question 2: The original plan was for there to be nine guests and four exes, but Brandon, a guest, was abruptly uninvited. I’m guessing CBS finally smartened up and hired some Smoking Gun staffers before the show started – but what was the dirt dug on this guy?

Also, and a less interesting question, so I’m not going to give it a number – do we know who the added-at-the-last-minute ex was? Jee (Jun’s ex) and Allison’s ex (whose name I don’t know) both were obviously first-tier choices; I’m not sure about the others.

No answers? No problem. I have officially decided I don’t care.

Geez feakin’ louise, this is absolutely the most tedious group of people ever gathered under one roof, and I’m including various meetings of professional associations I’ve been forced to attend.

No, I don’t care about a five-minute montage of blondie-2 (the non-weepy one) flashing her wares. I’m a hetero female – but the five-minute montage of the boys working out in the yard was equally uninteresting to me. The question of “is there really a second guy wearing a hat or am I confused?” is uninteresting. I don’t know whose ex is whose, and I don’t care. I can tell some of them apart – Jun, Nate, um, … uh … Jee, Allison – but I don’t like any of them. Even Jun, who I hate, I hate for uninteresting reasons (“The reason I weigh so much is that my brain is so big” – bite me.) There are no characters here, there is no interest. I found out who was nominated – and don’t really care.

I’m pissed. I love this show and was really looking forward to it, but there is no point to my spending three hours a week watching vacuous 20somethings talk about nothing. If I were locked in there I’d be begging to be evicted.

Ok…I just watched last night’s ep and what was with Malibu Barbie crying because she got hit? What a little baby she is…I mean she was boxing with him. What did she THINK was going to happen?:rolleyes:

twickster–I agree. I’m even more glad after watching last night’s ep that I didn’t send in my app to BB4. I don’t think I could stand three days let alone 3 months in there with that bunch of brainless, vapid, shallow, alkies-in-training group of twits.

I though the idea (at least in the beginning) was to get the exes out. Now they want them to stay? Make your minds up people…one or the other.:smack:

I’m not sure but I don’t think she was crying because she got hit… she was crying because she thinks her current boyfriend will leave her when he sees that her ex is there. And she was realizing that he probably knows by now (since the show has been from tape rather than live).

Crybaby’s ex makes my skin crawl for some reason. And what is it with those single pointy strands of hair that shoot down off the top of his forehead? Are they hair plugs?

She was crying because she’s a borderline personality.

There’s no one to root for in this goup. I don’t see any real personalities emerging and definitely no intelligence. The old guy (Jack, I think?) seems kind f left out all the time, like he can’t find any way to fit in with this batch of nitwits. I would say they seem like they were acst only for their looks, but then how do you explain Johnny Fever? Oklahoma cowboy is just such an unctious little toad I can’t stand him (Hey, Woody, can you ever take your hands off the chicks for ten seconds?) Crybarbie has serious emotional issues but they’re not interesting issues. Jun, from what I’ve seen, was the MHH (Most Hated Houseguest) in chatrooms and message boards starting from just about the second she opened her mouth in the first episode.

No one else even stands out at all. It’s like they’re all the same vaccuous person…and for the sake of humanity can someone please do a hat intervention in that house? Between Fever’s touques and Okie’s cowboy hats the show is already visually assaultive enough. Now we’ve got other random HG’s wandering around hatted. No. More. Hats. Please!!!

Where is Will when we really, really need him? I’d even take a Danielle at this point.

There’s no real conflict this time around. In BB2 the hook was the loathesome Chill Town vs. the pathetic Other People – and they all had real contempt for each other. In BB3 more than half the house was genuinely psychotic – always good theater.

But in BB4 they seem to have relied on the X-Factor for interest (ho-hum), and neglected to stock the pond with different types of fish. These people are boring.

Hopefully people will start melting down soon.

I hope so…this sucks. Meltdowns would make it marginally more interesting than it is now.

Hell…I hate them all so much I’d trade them all for half of Chill Town, Chicken George, Bunky, Marcellas and Brittany Petros.

Hamster Scott went bonzo, threw chairs, revealed he has STD, apparently got tossed out of hamster house :eek:

reads the spoiler

Oh really?
Does that mean no voting this week because somebody is already out?:open_mouth:
IDBB

Scott has genital warts apparently from the person on the BB4 chat that I talked to who had live feeds. He lied to BB about it and thusly got kicked out, from what they told me.:eek:

IDBB

I hope he took his hats with him.

Yeah but I’m wondering if they’re STILL going to evict somebody because one house guest is already gone…
