:lol: :lol: i can so see this especally after the x factor. some geek from hs looks like a stud while the bullie is disgusting looking and overweight

High school rumor, bullies vs. their victims. Did anyone else hear about this?
Sounds to me like the rumor mill is already churning. Haven't heard nothing about this yet. But will keep my ears opened.
From the tv.com forums:
"The rumor came from people who applied and said that the execs asked the normal questions, but threw these in:
Were you a bully in high school?
Were you bullied in high school?"
I'm not sure that this would make a great season of BB if this turns out to be true.
-
I'm thinking what goes around comes around has something to do with Revenge and if someone wins HOH or VETO challenge and they put someone on the block...than that person can get their revenge on the HOH?? that a possibilty?
-
Where did you hear about the twist being called, "What goes around comes around"? Better not be Justin Timberlake.
-
cin u asking me??? i am just carrying on the theme of this thread...who knows!!! lol
-
I'm asking anyone. I don't like the idea of Bullies vs their victims. Sure, I love drama, but that's just mean.

i really think if its bullies vs geeks the bullies will be in for a suprise.

Wasn't that S6
The Sov(cool kids) vs the nerd herd
I don't care much for the themed bb the DNA summer was one of the worst IMO
and then the teams that was just stupid
obviously everyone was going to try and evict one from every team as soon as they figured it out.
I just want a normal BB like s2 my personal favorite
just put 12-14 ppl in the dam house and watch them lie and backstab
isn't that what bb is all about afterall.
-
Where did you hear about the twist being called, "What goes around comes around"? Better not be Justin Timberlake.
Janelle says it in the commercial "What goes around comes around, right?" and Julie says " Oh Yeah!". Not that might not be what the so called twist is named but, it fits in with the bully rumor.
-
all these speculations!! can't wait

LOL! Damn i would almost pay to watch them go at it again! :lol3:
-
lol
ok what other thoughts do people have....jocks and bullies and nerds aside
-
Man the jocks vs. Nerds scenario that is going to be really interesting if they do it. But their will be a lot of pressure on the nerds to win.
-
How's this for a twist - Beauty and the Geeks. Now that's a concept that's never been tried.
-
That I would like to see.

No, lol , no I didn't! I thought it was Max :lol3:

NO, that was last year.

:-\

hmmmmmmmmmm................my thoughts...................I don't think the promos are so much about the twist (if there is one), but just get us all hyped up and talking.
I can't get over the last minute casting calls..........come on we all know that has ample people apply to be on the show.......but maybe they aren't BB material..........whatever that is.
July 5th..........WOW.........it will be here soon. I am looking forward to seeing who I will be rooting for that everyone else will be rooting against.........LOL..........that is how it always works out!!!!
You know this is a silly question, but I was thinking about this last week...........the hgs are not allowed to have a pen or pencil are they.........I guess so they won't write stuff down and be sneaky that way. I notice odd things, but I have been speculating that.
I am just looking forward to seeing fresh faces with fresh personalities!!!!!
-

Nuala I was wondering that too...honestly I think I would have a melt down no internet, phone or writing utensils for however long in the house???? Do they have cards?? No wonder some of those people go stir crazy...hello chicken george wtf was up with him last season!!! lol
-
Question: Is it confirmed true, unconfirmed, or confirmed false that Boston Rob is going to be on YET ANOTHER CBS Reality TV show? I really hope he's not. I'm really sick of him.
-
If Rob was to be in BB8, I think Rob would be elated!
-
Yeah, they posted it on the Wikipedia page, and I really will be pissed if he is on it! TO ROB NOT BEING ON BB8 (hope instead it's OUR Rob, or Trevor or both ;D) :jam:
TO ALL YOU ROB FANS: :meow:
-
It hasn't been confirmed yet if Boston Rob will be on BB8, or have a part in it, but I'm guessing he won't. Or maybe it's just the fact that I'm in the "Anti-Boston Rob on BB8" group.
BTW, Welcome to the forum, stjimmy61892! :waves:
-
Hmmm...puddin told me there was a whole another world over here outside of TAR-land! :lol:
I'm thinking Boston Rob will be busy here (http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/rob-mariano-announces-new-10-million-tontine-reality-show-5374.php)!

LOL so am I!!!! and thank you very much! I just joined today after listening to RFF radio for FOREVER!
-
Welcome to the forum stjimmy61892 :yaya: I see we have yet another member getting into the meez theme :jumpy:
-
IK I LOVE MINE!! Mine originally played guitar, but it made me pay for it :( it also had a yankees cap on, but i had to pay for that too...
o btw puddin, how did u guys get the whole TAR: AS list correct? I'm so curious!
-
guess i'm not the only one with Thriller fever!!!! lol
-
Haha, CeeeJay. I was looking for that theme on Meez yesterday, but I couldn't find it.
Hmmm...puddin told me there was a whole another world over here outside of TAR-land! :lol:
We're just glad to see a TAR detective actually converse with the rest of the RFF clan. I haven't had the chance to speak with most of them and introduce myself.
-

Someone that knew that we liked spoilers sent it to me via myspace, Jimmy.... and now I hear it came from someone who was actually there.
As far as the meez coins I refuse to pay :lol:! I have free coins but for some reason it won't let me use them so am guessing that I have to buy some to use the free ones? Does that make sense? I don't know the dealio???
-

Well, it isn't like we aren't friendly :lol3: --it is just that they don't unlock the doors over there and let us out very often!
Pirate Master has been good for meeting some of y'all anyway--and I guess BB would be even better?
And I see the Meez epidemic continues to spread--should I notify the CDC? :lol:
-
PUDDIN!!!! I'm baaaaaack! So ready for BB8. Can't wait......
:jumpy: :jumpy: :jumpy:
-
Wooohooo!!!!! Will is back!!!! About damn time man, lol! :wohoo:
-
Yea, I just realized the other day that it was almost time for BB season!
-
Will....who is that in your avitar pic i can't see it!!!
-
Will....who is that in your avitar pic i can't see it!!!
that is blake lewis from american idol. i can see it, don't you see anything?
-
i meant i didn't see it well...
his hair is darker in that shot and he looks thinner...he's a good looking kid i might say!!
-
I tried to upload other pics before I selected this one since the others apparently were too big but I'll try to find a better and clearer pic of my Idol fave.
-
other pic is better!! lol :snicker:
-
Ok I'll settle with this picture for now until I find the one I want to use but here's my boy! I'm a Blaker Boy at heart and can't wait to see him at the Idol tour concert in September!
-
ok that one works for me too!!!
u have tickets....i don't think they come to toronto...although i wasn't crazy about this season other than Gina and Blake
-
Yes, my tickets arrived last week. I ordered them on the day it went on sale. I'll check to see if they will do a show in Toronto. Give me a few minutes.
-
reply in a PM or something....people are going to freak out about an AI convo in BB forum!! lol :meow: :meow: :meow:
-
ok that one works for me too!!!

You're in luck. They are doing a show at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on August 14th.
-
Oops. Didn't see your last post when I posted about Toronto. Too late but you are right, this is off the subject. LOL
-
:wohoo: RFWill is HERE :jumpy:!! How are you sweetie!! :kuss:

Will, I was thinking the same as I read about the geek/bullie stuff...why not just have a normal BB with normal, average peeps instead of trying to make it outlandishly different! :o
Anyway, we already have Beauty n' the Geek. We don't need any geekish bbs, OR bullies!! Whatever...guess we will go with the the flow, whatever theme bb will be, love it or hate it! :waves:
Ruday ;D
-
:wohoo: RFWill is HERE :jumpy:!! How are you sweetie!! :kuss:
I just got off work as I work night shift and I'm doing well, thanks for asking, Puddin! Hope all is well with you and are you ready for another summer of BB?
-
Glad to hear all is well RFWill :hearts:! Am I ever ready for BB :yess:! Heres to a new fresh cast :wine:
-

I hope we get another Janelle and Will this year. Have you heard anything about those two? Last I checked which was months ago was that they both were still with their significant others, Ross and Erin.
I am really curious to see what the cast will be like.
-
I was really obsessed with Winelle for months after BB7 and finally got over it a few months ago! LOL
-
well I know Will is still with Erin but am not sure what Janie is up to?
lol, I think we all obessesed with Will & Jani, RFWill :luvu:. Why couldn't they just see what we saw?
-

I know once and while they have cards, but once the hgs quit interacting with each other or don't say much because they are too busy playing cards they take them away. I guess they would rather us hear them whine. I think the winner of this bb should be the one that does not whine. LOL.
-
lol, if only they can hear us whine when they do have cards because its sooo boring to watch.
-
Hey now watching them play cards all day is more fun the watching them play pig dice or whatever other stupid games they tried to give them last season.
-
:lol: I'll take the pig dice over the cards anyday Nuala.
-
:lol: I'll take the pig dice over the cards anyday Nuala.
I think you meant HHW there puddin sweetie :hearts:
-
:lol: I'll take the pig dice over the cards anyday Nuala.

:-[
Yes! Thats what I meant! I'll take you, HHW, over cards anyday!!
:angel:
-
Something interesting this time...no slop...that was just HORRIBLE
-
An article I read says Gruel/Slop will be back again :grins:
-
how is that healthy?
honestly that was the most Fear Factorish thing you can do to someone.....they are already under these conditions and then subjecting them to more damage!!!
lol
-
I agree, I hated the slop. Poor Chicken George.
-
Remember when CG tried to make bread out of the slop and put it in the toaster? Then he tried to retrieve it by sticking a metal knife into the toaster :lol3: ....and BB came over the speaker "Stop that!"! And CG looked aroud like "who me?" and then he did it again and BB "I said stop that!!" and Jase was walking through the kitchen and told CG that it might be because he was sticking a knife into the toaster :lol3:! So CG unplugs the toaster and dumps his toaster crumblings into the sink.
omg too funny! I'm surprised CG didn't create a cookbook called 101 Ways to Cook Gruel ! Remember the gruel coated pickles that they deep fried then dipped into ketchup? And Janelle was like " yum, taste like french fries!" :lol3:
-
Oh yes. CG was very creative in his cooking. In retro-spect, maybe the slop wasn't such a bad idea, made for some funny moments. Didn't he make slop pancakes also?
-
remember that challenge or a ball or something in the heat with a stick and try to NOT get it in the holes...and he almost passed out from the heat was sweating cause all he ate was slop?!??!?!?! lol
Remember the baking contest wtih the slop!!!
-
There were lots of good memories from BB7
Remember......
You reap what you sow
Janelle's crown
Janelle and Will's constant whispering in each other ears
Danielle's 24 hour solitary confinement
to name a few.....
-
Speaking of Danielle, I just picked up Big Brother 3 and am enjoying that this weekend.
-
Janelle and Will's constant whispering in each other ears
Oh that was so annoying RFWill :meow: cute but annoying. This reminds me to order some longer headphones this year so I'm not leaning to the right :lol:
-
I wonder what the RealPass will use when they temporarily goes off the air this year. It was fish for BB6 and flames for BB7. Any ideas for this year? I was thinking bubbles or something.....
-
Maybe clips of Janelle and Will chasing each other, or of Erika making love to the camera pole in the backyard.

I'll settle for Winelle but HELL NO to Erislut!

I would guess something like the wave they are using now for the live feed test.
-
I would guess something like the wave they are using now for the live feed test.
Waves wouldn't be too bad, they can be soothing.
-
I was never a fan of the flames last year. I prefer the Front of the house, or the fishtank.
-
I think they took away the fish tank because we were able to see through it and actually were able to tell who who won HOH and stuff like that *damn*
I was not a fan of the flames, between that and the annoying theme blaring in my ears, thought it would make me go insane :nut: please please let it be the waves with some nice soothing music.
-
i really hope its nothing hokey like fighting siblings or scorned lovers, i would just like to have a bunch of stranger go into the house and from there become friends, lovers, enemies, where they can lie, cheat and backstab until their hearts content.
i am so happy to be back :jumpy: and chatting with you all again :hearts:

Welcome back kc :hearts:

:trampb: :trampb: :trampb: :mornin:
Thanks, icalltheshots! And welcome to the forum! Those brought back some good memories. However, my favorite moment from BB7 would have to be the Torture Test Veto competition. It wasn't on YouTube. :'(
-
Welcome to the forum icalltheshots :yaya:, glad you found us :happy:
-
hello, new here, can't wait to go for a few months having only a few snatched moments of sleep here and there with the laptop next to me in bed instead of my husband......of snarls from the man about unwashed cloths, floors, uncooked meals, and the inevitable look of shock and surprise on his face when he tries to come between me and the feeds as I turn into a beast from hell!!!! (:;).
I am so hoping BB8 has new music, please, please new music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And let's hope these new mofo's not sing in there or I swear I'll gather a posse and we can all break into the house and do some ass kicking, okay? :meow:
I feel just a little saddened because I think we will never see the likes of the Will and Janelle's smoldering yearning again, what a special summer it was thanks to them :hearts:. Hope we get a face as beautiful as Kaysar's to look at again, and a goof like Howie.
July 5th, hurry!
-
Welcome my fellow addictee :yess:
-
Favorite funniest BB 7 moment: Howie sitting on the shower stall floor washing his feet with the penis soap Jase? made not having realized the bottom of the shower stall is see thru. Kaysar comes out of the bathroom and washes his hands, sees Howie sitting there, legs spread and has such a resigned look of hopelessness at Howie level of intelligence, that he just shakes his head and calmly tells Howie his package is showing for everyone to see. I laughed until I was in pain!!
-
omg! lol! that is too funny :lol3:

Big Brother Rewind
EXEC GRODNER LOOKS FORWARD TO GETTING 'INTERACTIVE'
............
by John Powell, Special to GlobalTV.com
When it comes to the 'America's Player' twist, 'Big Brother' executive producer Allison Grodner is making a heart-felt apology to Canadian fans of the Global Television - CBS summer reality show.
"We didn't mean to offend Canadians. This is really everybody's player," Grodner told GlobalTV.com as she continued to supervise the live happenings from the secluded 'Big Brother' house in California.
Selected by the producers during the casting of 'Big Brother 8', 'America's Player' will have their actions in the house and in the game controlled by the audience through a poll at the end of every episode. Viewers will be able to cast their ballots via their cell phones or the 'Big Brother 8' site at CBS.com.
"My guess is that the Internet will be the way that people in Canada can have their say. We are certainly not trying to exclude any of our viewers so we will call this...the 'Canadian-American Player'," said Grodner chuckling.
While two of the weekly polls will be strategic in nature -- asking viewers who the 'America's Player' should target for a nomination and whom they should vote to evict -- the third poll on Sunday's show will be for fun. For that poll, viewers might be asked who 'America's Player' should start a showmance with or who they should have a meaningful conversation with. If the player makes it to the final seven, the viewers will also have a vote on the 'Big Brother 8' jury.
"The viewers will have a vote every week so that's a big deal. It is the most interactive we have ever been," commented Grodner.
For every five tasks the 'America's Player' completes, they will get a cash bonus. While the other HouseGuests won't know about the 'America's Player' twist until that person is voted out or wins the game, their identity will be revealed to the audience on the debut of 'Big Brother 8' this Thursday night.
"We are really happy with whom this is. We think this person will do a terrific job," said Grodner.
Having to produce three episodes a week means that Grodner has to get a jump on the action. To do so each year, the players have to enter the house and the 'Big Brother' game must begin before the television debut. It may surprise some viewers to discover that the 'Big Brother 8' HouseGuests are already battling for the $500,000 U.S. grand prize.
"Believe it or not, but in television time, our HouseGuests may not be in the house but here, they are already in the house. The game has begun. The game is on," said an excited Grodner who has added responsibility this year since former producer Arnold Shapiro opted not to return. "This show is always stressful. I have to say that no matter what, it is a ton of work. I don't think people out there really can appreciate what it is to put three almost live shows on the air, every week, all summer long and to have these people go live to the Internet 24/7."
In speaking to GlobalTV.com, Grodner was quick to clear up another misconception: Not everyone in the house will be a part of the "rival or enemy" twist. The twist of having to deal with a real life foe in the house will only apply to some of the players.
"There are past relationships that will surprise some of them on opening night. Not all of them will have a past relationship but some of them will and nobody knows any of this when they walk into the house. We will see how this plays out as this is like the 'X Factor' from four years ago," she explained. "You know the old saying...Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Well, let's see how that plays out this summer. "Expect the Unexpected" doesn't just go for the audience, it goes for us, the producers, too."
Promising there are more twists to come this season, Grodner gave GlobalTV.com a rundown of some of the standout players thus far.
Joe: "He is terrifically funny and very, very bright. He is a good gameplayer because he is a student of the show. He is incredibly manipulative."
Jemeka: "She has been very isolated, actually. She is from a part of Maryland where she has not been exposed to white people. She really hasn't had any white friends and now she is in a house full of white people. It should be interesting. She is funny and gutsy. She will be really fun to watch."
Nick: "Nick is the hunk of the house for sure. He is a former football player and walks around with his shirt off all the time. I am watching him on the live feeds right now. Wow! The girls are sure to enjoy him. He is not your typical California or Florida dude. He is from Minnesota so he has an accent like y'all do up there. It is adorable."
Kail: "We have a mom who is a business owner from a small town in Oregon. Her values are definitely more conservative than a lot of the people who usually go into the 'Big Brother' house."
***: "*** is a rocker dad. He was a stand-in for Keith Richards in the last 'Pirates' movie. He's got lots of tats and piercings. You are going to think that Tommy Lee just walked into the house. That will be a shock for the HouseGuests."

Big Brother Rewind
EXEC GRODNER LOOKS FORWARD TO GETTING 'INTERACTIVE'
by John Powell, Special to GlobalTV.com
When it comes to the 'America's Player' twist, 'Big Brother' executive producer Allison Grodner is making a heart-felt apology to Canadian fans of the Global Television - CBS summer reality show.
"We didn't mean to offend Canadians. This is really everybody's player," Grodner told GlobalTV.com as she continued to supervise the live happenings from the secluded 'Big Brother' house in California.
Selected by the producers during the casting of 'Big Brother 8', 'America's Player' will have their actions in the house and in the game controlled by the audience through a poll at the end of every episode. Viewers will be able to cast their ballots via their cell phones or the 'Big Brother 8' site at CBS.com.
"My guess is that the Internet will be the way that people in Canada can have their say. We are certainly not trying to exclude any of our viewers so we will call this...the 'Canadian-American Player'," said Grodner chuckling.
While two of the weekly polls will be strategic in nature -- asking viewers who the 'America's Player' should target for a nomination and whom they should vote to evict -- the third poll on Sunday's show will be for fun. For that poll, viewers might be asked who 'America's Player' should start a showmance with or who they should have a meaningful conversation with. If the player makes it to the final seven, the viewers will also have a vote on the 'Big Brother 8' jury.
"The viewers will have a vote every week so that's a big deal. It is the most interactive we have ever been," commented Grodner.
For every five tasks the 'America's Player' completes, they will get a cash bonus. While the other HouseGuests won't know about the 'America's Player' twist until that person is voted out or wins the game, their identity will be revealed to the audience on the debut of 'Big Brother 8' this Thursday night.
"We are really happy with whom this is. We think this person will do a terrific job," said Grodner.
Having to produce three episodes a week means that Grodner has to get a jump on the action. To do so each year, the players have to enter the house and the 'Big Brother' game must begin before the television debut. It may surprise some viewers to discover that the 'Big Brother 8' HouseGuests are already battling for the $50,000 U.S. grand prize.
"Believe it or not, but in television time, our HouseGuests may not be in the house but here, they are already in the house. The game has begun. The game is on," said an excited Grodner who has added responsibility this year since former producer Arnold Shapiro opted not to return. "This show is always stressful. I have to say that no matter what, it is a ton of work. I don't think people out there really can appreciate what it is to put three almost live shows on the air, every week, all summer long and to have these people go live to the Internet 24/7."
