| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00  | That's right! it's time for Big Brother 2 and, luckily, CBS knows that we aren't smart enough to choose who should stay and who should go so we don't decide! I personally like the "producers create plot" ideas since that totally goes along with reality TV. Here are some other changes. Among the major changes to the show's format: - The number of house guests has been upped to 12 from 10. Competition will now be an integral part of the series, with house guests squaring off to win privileges and luxury items, as well as protection from being evicted from the house. Players will vote each other out of the house; last season, viewers determined the fate of contestants. - The show will now air in hourlong installments Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; the Thursday edition, in which players are evicted, will air live. Last summer, the program aired up to six times per week, with most episodesrunning 30 minutes. The change will give producers more time to edit each show, thus increasing the chances for drama. "To us, 'Big Brother' is a real-life soap opera. Last year, there wasn't enough time (between episodes) to put the show together," Shapiro said. "We will have the opportunity now to structure shows that are more dramatic, more interesting and have a definite story arc to them." - The Studio City house where "Brother" is based is being completely remodeled. The utilitarian Ikea furniture is out. In its place: eclectic, upscale digs from various Los Angeles boutiques. "It's a place you'd actually like to live in," Shapiro said. - While viewers will no longer vote out house guests, Shapiro is exploring interactive segments in which audiences will determine certain elements of the game. "If a conflict comes up, the public might vote (how to resolve it)," he said. - The oft-criticized "Big Brother" theme song used last season will be replaced; other new music and graphics are also in the works. The number of cameras in the house has also been upped, to 37 from last year's 28. One thing will remain the same about "Brother": Julie Chen is back as host of the Thursday live broadcast. She'll no longer interview evictees in front of a studio audience, however.

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | Well there's an balloon knot clause in one of the contestant of FOX's Temptation Island 2. They won't let on if it's a guy or girl though.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I don't think these changes are really gonna help this show. Reality TV seems to be falling by the wayside slowly, Sure, Survivor is still the "top", but it started the whole damn thing. Unless a huge interest is generated in this show and it actually manages to pull out a quality, its not going to fare well. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I was wondering if they were going to bring the show back considering how poorly it did in the ratings last season. Sadly I became oddly obsessed with the show and found myself watching Eddie sleep at night on the internet when I couldn't sleep. Hopefully this season will be better and I will be less obsessive and actually learn to use my VCR rather than refusing to go out until after the show had ended. :) All I've undergone I will keep on Underneath it all We feel so small The heavens fall But still we crawl All I've undergone I will keep on | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | I also noticed the Council of Elders on this show but how do you know there is only one black person? Still I'd prefer an OD-esque Latino to a black person B. EDIT: Pictures available at here and Autumn is a nigrette if i've ever seen one My big complaint is that viewers DON'T vote out who they want to vote out so if a person is annoying to the rest of the houseguests but entertaining to us at home that person will be kicked out ecause its the house guests who do the voting so everyone has to be nice to each other to stay in the game! Ponderous F'ing ponderous! Autumn, 28, single mother, accountant/singer, Irving, Texas - youngest broad and she's a Teas singer meaning she'll sing every chance she'll get. Torture. Bunky (male), 36, "attached," - FAG. If your name is bunky and you only call yourself "attached" you are gay. EDIT: I'm reading his profile and if this doesn't spell out HOMO for you I don't know what does. Favorite show: Will and Grace (Least Favorite: All in the Family, BZZZ TRY AGAIN DUMB ASS). Favorite movie: Top Gun (Lease Favorite movie: Octopussy (no matter how bad they are no straight guy would ever say a Bond flick is the worst movie ever made, especially with Pussy in the title). and favorite singer RICKY MARTIN!! Reading this makes me think of that KitH bit where Dave Foley is playing Kevin McDonald's father in flashbacks and he's telling his 6 year old son he's a fag because no girls called him today. Justin, 26, single, bartender, Bayonne, New Jersey - youngest house mate, might be an O&A fan. In the right demo. EDIT: His favorite TV show is the Honeymooners so that might be an O&A army sign. Krista, 28, divorced mother, waitress, Opelousas, Louisiana - another mother and you know that she's going to be a manhating CUNT if she must waitress to support her kid Nicole, 31, newlywed - oh this marriage will work Sheryl, 43, divorced mother, interior designer, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida - Same with the other divorced mother ... Any of us will be more interesting than these tools The narrator in Fight Club is the man we will be, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is the man we want to be Eliza Dushku- Hotter Than Britney This message was edited by IkeaBoy on 6-30-01 @ 4:44 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | I need to see bigger pictures (never a good sign when all the pictures are the size of your thumb) but yeah, Shannon is the hottest (maybe Krista, need to see bigger pictures) despite her hatred of The Sopranos. And Bunky--still really gay. Christ, these are the dullest sacks of shit I've ever had the displeasure to read about. At least when you're writing your favorites/least favorites be more obscure or strange!! Who's your hero? Well you call him Hitler but I called him Big H, yo.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 00 | Well at least we don't have NEGROES like "Will Mega" last year. He was an embarrassment to black males. Nuff said on that. With all the claims that Arnold Shapiro is making (Oh there will be more sex), why aren't there more younger hotter women. With all of these married (or in Bunky's case "attached") makes for some boring TV. Hopefully it won't be the train wreck like it was last year. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | You know without the audience deciding the fates of the people and this gang of losers, I'm going to say it's not going to be a train wreck, it's going to be the Challenger. In other news...Bunky, still gay. The narrator in Fight Club is the man we will be, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is the man we want to be Eliza Dushku- Hotter Than Britney | ||||
