**** FR Big Brother 4 Thread ****
CBS ^ | 7-9-2003 | Me

Posted on 07/09/2003 8:49:12 PM PDT by jmc813

It's summer once again, which means it is time for what many dub "the ultimate reality show", Big Brother! For 3 months, 13 contestants, or "houseguests" must live together in a one-story house with absolutely NO contact from the outside world, while cameras and microphones capture their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, one houseguest is voted out with the sole remaining houseguest taking home half a million dollars.

This year, the producers have introduced the "X-Factor" to Big Brother. 10 of the 13 houseguests were stunned to find out that an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend of theirs was also a houseguest.

I have once again given up any hope of having a life this summer and have shelled out the $10 a month to watch the houseguests 24 hours a day on the internet.

Let's meet this years crop of contestants...


Alison

Job: Retail Manager
Age: 22
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Pittsburgh, PA
Jeff's Comments: Alison, while seeming sweet, is definitely this year's "house ditz". Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Recall last season when Lisa, considered far from the smartest houseguest took home the $500,000 prize.


Amanda

Job: Bar Manager
Age: 25
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Chicago, IL
Jeff's Comments: Amanda and her ex Scott had some turbulent moments when they were first thrust back together. As of earlier today, though, they seem to be getting along quite well. According to chatter on the Internet feeds, expect Amanda to go sooner rather than later.


Dana

Job: Karate School Manager
Age: 28
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Queens, NY
Jeff's Comments: Dana is one of three houseguests without an ex in the game. She has quite the feisty atitude, and I expect her to be involved in manty arguments, leading up to her getting booted around week 5 or so.


David

Job: Former Army Ranger
Age: 21
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Deerfield Beach, FL
Jeff's Comments:David seems like a great guy with a super sense of humor. However, I expect the houseguests to be intimidated by his experince as a Ranger, and to give him the boot mid-game.


Erika

Job: Pilates Instructor
Age: 33
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Los Angeles, CA
Jeff's Comments: This girl might just take it all the way. As seen in episode 2, she is not in the house to "have a good time" or "make new friends", she's in it to win it. From watching the Internet feeds, it seems as if she's already incorporating the "fly below the radar" strategy, that more often than not a good one. Also, she's a dead ringer for last year's winner, Lisa.


Jack

Job: Retired FBI Agent
Age: 58
Marital Status: Divorced
Hometown:Birmingham, AL
Jeff's Comments: Jack seems to be a very nice guy, looking much youger than his 58 years. If he can overcome the age barrier and assimilate with the other houseguests, he'll go far. Unfortunately, around week 9 or so, he will succomb to the Big Brother "middle age man curse" and get booted a la George, Kent, and Gerry in previous seasons.


Jee

Job: Bookkeeper
Age: 23
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Elmhurst, NY
Jeff's Comments: Since entering the house, the most strained ex-couple is definitely Jee and Jun (say it out loud, it's fun). Jee seems to be a down-to-earth fellow who gets along well with all of the houseguests othjer than Jun. If he can survive the first few weeks, he will be a contender to win it all.


Jun

Job: Investment Manager
Age: 27
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:New York, NY
Jeff's Comments: Jun (pronounced June) is this years house chef. That alone will allow her to finish in the top half. Since being reunited, Jun has spent a total of literally less than one minute speaking to her boyfriend of 5 and a half years, Jee.


Justin

Job: Headhunter
Age: 22
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Pittsburgh, PA
Jeff's Comments: Alison's ex, Justin has been surprisingly quiet thusfar in the game. I'm going to wait a few days before making a prediction on how he will do.


Michelle

Job: College Student
Age: 19
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Boca Raton, FL
Jeff's Comments: At 19 years old, the beautiful Michelle is the youngest houseguest in Big Brother history. I predict tht she will be out within the first 3 weeks, otherwise, she will be one of the final three, as a result of the other houseguests underestimating her due to her age. On the Internet feeds, she has stated on numerous occasions that she drinks, so it should be interesting to see if she trys to sneak a few as the season goes on, and if so, what Big Brother's reaction to underage drinking in the house will be.


Nathan

Job: Personal Trainer
Age: 23
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Edmond, OK
Jeff's Comments: Nathan is the "stud" of the house this year. Recall Hardy from season 2 and Roddy from season 3. The ladies of the house have already gone ga-ga for him. I'm predicting a week 6-7 eviction for Nathan, as the "stud" never wins any reality show, ever.


Robert

Job: Restaurasnt Manager
Age: 33
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Los Angeles, CA
Jeff's Comments: Robert is another houseguest who I have not had much of a chance to observe on the Internet feeds. The one bit of information I was able to gather about him is that he was an alcoholic, and recovered a few years ago with the help of his father. I have a suspicion that Robert may have a bit of an attitude, but if he can keep it under control, watch for him at the end.


Scott

Job: Waiter
Age: 33
Marital Status: Single
Hometown:Chicago, IL
Jeff's Comments: Get used to the knit cap you see in Scott's head shot, as he has it on constantly. This guy cusses like it's going out of style. As entertaining as he is to watch, I expect Scott to have a fair share of conflicts with the houseguests and get booted early.

Tommorrow, I will provide links to great web sites devoted to Big Brother to help further enhance your viewing pleasure this year.

The looks on Jee's, Robert's, and Justin's face when Julie announced Michelle was evicted was priceless. But, it also alerted the exes to the alliance.

I wish Big Brother could have stayed with the show after it ended Wednesday night. The conversation between Robert, Jee, and Justin would have been priceless to overhear.

Oh to be a fly on the wall.

And... I just got DVR - so, while I'm in class, Big Brother can be recorded... that way I can participate on the thread. Yeah for me!

Can you tell me how to put this thread on my home page so I can find it if it isn't in the top 50 or 100.

Thanks...

Dana has cut on her throat. She has thrown in with the wrong people... She should just go ahead and write her ticket home.

As much as I had wanted to see Dana booted off, I'm not so sure that her nominations were a bad choice. Justin is a strong player and has gotten close to winning the HOH competitions each week. If he wins HOH next week I doubt he will nominate Dana now, so her stay in the house will be extended.

The Power of Veto competition just ended. Spoilers below...

Nathan won the POV. It is not definite, but it appears as if he may veto Alison from nomination. If this happens, expect David or Erika to be nominated in her place. Damn you Dana!!!!

Thanks, but this time I'm not looking at the spoilers...but I hope someone changes the nominees. If not, I fear Alison will go, which would be too bad for the viewers, as she is lively and fun to watch.

I really like Jun too and hope she continues on til the end. She's really contributing to everyone's welfare and she's funny too...perhaps someone will put her head on the block "for strategic reasons."

I cannot figure out who's allied with whom since Dana blew up the alliance. She won't survive her bad move, I predict.

White text (probable) spoiler below

Nate will probably use the veto on Alison. During their date, Alison said she wants to wear the veto bling bling all day Sunday. After their date, he walked past the memory wall, reached for the veto bling bling and asked her if she wanted the veto now or later.

This is not a spoiler but it is hillarious Erika and Dave were just talking and Erika said, "This is all the mantroll's (Dana) fault." Dave said, "Yeah". Erika, "Can we kill the mantroll (Dana) now?".

Good stuff.

VETO SPOILER!!! Highlight to read.

Nathan uses the veto to remove Alison and Dave is put up in her place. Dana is a mantroll and makes me want to puke.

I try to stay away from "reality TV," but got hooked on American Idol last year and will be going to the live show for what may be my only chance to see Julia DeMato live. I have always hated the concept of Big Brother, and actually still do -- but the beauteous Jun just keeps me coming back for more.

I am not sure I would like her if I met her (or any of the participants, actually), but see is such sweet eye candy. Korean girls got it going on.

I agree, she is quite attractive. It's funny, I was arguing with my friend the other night. He thinks the freakin' Man-troll (Dana) is hot. He thought I was nuts for finding Jun more attractive than her.

Dana's nice looking too, but I like a little more meat on my ladies' bones.

What? "My ladies' bones?" Holy cow, I am talking like I have a choice, like I can pick them out of a cafeteria of babes. What am I, Colin Farrell all of a sudden?

From a feminine perspective, Jun is a very attractive person, one I'd like to have lunch with. She's great fun and a wonderful little schemer. I hope she lasts for awhile on the show.

I stop my life for The Great Race as I love to travel, but this Big Brother is fun too.
