Gnatterly and the Crazy Eights
Gnattering:
O.K., well I found my last post at the bottom of the comments board, so something's going right.
This next question has been bugging me for a long time now (and it may be unanswerable)
regarding Gnatterly and Her Game of Crazy Eights:
Where did Gnatterly get the idea that she should be counting things in the house and that sets of eight had special significance?
Did BB give a hint to HGs that clues were in the house, and, if so, what were the clues supposed to point to?
I know that with her obsession with eights, if BB9 did have any intention of making a question of them, it has long since been abandoned, as she has talked about it so much (when does she not talk about anything too much?); the producers are constantly adjusting challenges and rewards according to what is going on in the house.
Again, a must see for any reality fan is Joe Schmoe on Spike TV -- watch for reruns or request them. It's brilliant. The entire cast of the other "regular people" is made up of improv actors, and the main person, "Joe Schmoe" is a real guy from Pittsburg -- a super-nice regular Joe, as it turns out. The producers were stumped time after time when they engineered things to have certain outcomes because he never acted with the expected greed and self-interest of people on reality shows.
It is the Holy Grail of reality shows for me! Because of the nature of the program -- a regular guy picked out, who will win at the end, and has no idea that everyone else is an improv actor, fulfilling the representative roles of the jock, the princess, the gay guy, the older guy and so on -- we get to see the behind-the-scenes production work.
I wonder if they have put it out on DVD.
and back to the question: Where did this Crazy Eights idea come from?
Rob:
I am guessing that it is partly because she is crazy, but it could be something from the Diary Room. You know, "have you noticed anything in common around the house?" and then she goes looking for it!
I find it amazing that she came to the "Evil Dick" conclusion with it! LOL
Gnattering:
I was amazed at that too: the eighth week and "Evel Dick" from "BB 8 will come in and 'Evel Dick' has eight letters . . . ."
and then on the other hand, she was amazed that there were "eight plates, eight cups, eight saucers, eight spoons . . . ." set up on the table [which was, in simpler terms, set for eight people].
How many people are in the house right now? Eight? Nine when Matt left, so yes, eight. Of course the table is set for eight. :pull
Maybe the "Evel Dick" guess was sort of like the thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters eventually typing out Shakespeare axiom. Here we have one indescribable piece of work running her mouth at the speed of light with no respite: eventually she might say something that makes sense. :snicker:

Maybe she will stumble upon the meaning of life while inside the BB house!!
Playing Games:
She really annoys me. I mean really really annoys me. Does RRF have a board shrink who can make a diagnoSEES of this retard?
