CBS:Big Brother & Rockstar:INXS end TONIGHT!!!
For many of you this is either no news or welcome news...to others it is a chance to discuss/vent/hope/dream/yearn/have nothing better to do

The final two no one wants to see win

Ivette vs. Maggie.

I hope Maggie wins-she was easily the better player of the two. Ivette was just brought along to cast off later and she ended up in the final two. Her commentary on Friday as the wise woman of the house was hilarious. Oh well they got there.

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother6/

Mig vs. JD vs. Marty

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/rock_star/

You want a drinking game? Do a shot everytime "INXS" is mentioned (and then call in sick to work).

Marty is the smart money here but I think they have wanted Mig the whole time.

Brooke Burke will be scantilly clad.

1. I stopped watching Big Brother
a few episodes ago after it was clear that the final two would be from the creepy friendship cult. That was the most unwatchable Big Brother season. But, since one of them has to win, I hope it's Maggie. Ivette is an asshole.

10. I'm a little bitter that a Friendsheep is going to win.
However, I do want to tune in tonight for the reunion of all the houseguests.

Janelle should have won.

13. It's still on my TiVo season pass, so I might watch for that reason
But only if I find out that Ivette didn't win. If she wins, I won't be able to stand watching it knowing that.

24. I cancelled mine ...
but I might record it tonight just to see the reunion.

Kasarr is my favorite. And he has been talking shit about La Vette, La April and La Mag on the CBS web site.

Good for him.

Thoese three hogs think they are something special. They ain't shit.

I'll have to go back and check out his comments. I knew he'd joined the ex houseguest blog, but hadn't been back to that site.

37. Not the popular peeps ....
they like to think they are.

I think it's rather funny that you don't hear from hardly ANY of the former housemates from the past.

I think Shannon (BB2) is probably a stripper in L.A. now. She was probably one of my favorites to hate.

36. Thanks for the link
I loved this, from Kaysar: "As for Maggie... Sure, you may consider your blank stares, and apathy a strategy but I assure you that it is not. You, Maggie, represent those in our society who sit around quietly and watch the good people of this world go down in flames. And when the dust begins to settle you feast on what’s left."

52. I wish he'd made it to the jury
So we could see him confront those two before casting his vote. At least he's spared from having to choose between them, though. I'd hate to have to vote to give either of them money.

66. Would that have been great?
One of the main reasons he was evicted .... TWICE was because they didn't want him on the jury OR in the house.

They are proof that the way to win is to be a lying two faced back stabber.

I hope they read what he wrote about them.

59. More of Kaysar in the future?
Man everyone LOVES that guy. Both for looks and just in general.

Apparently he had a role on "The Young and the Restless" already.

I said this before-don't be shocked if April or Jennifer end up suing over how they were presented and the deals they were cut off from. Seriously my wife and I have been talking about that for weeks now. I would not be surprised. It was amazing how GREAT they thought they were. Too funny.

Maybe we will get a BONUS and April will call the viewers STUPID one more time.

Surely they knew they were being recorded and that anything they said could and would make it to the public?

68. I don't know
According to someone covering the livefeeds, one of them, I think it was April, once asked Maggie during a heated discussion "Are they recording this?" Duh. Anyone that stupid might not have realized she signed away her rights to sue if she isn't aware they're taping her every move on BigBrother. Did she not know what she was getting into?

62. It's kind of hard
since most of the hatred came not from the show but from the live feeds. They can say all they want but they were both awful people. They volunteered to have their lives taped 24/7 for 3 months. They should have known better.

And JBlo shared the details on the stuffed animal and the "activities" in college. Her fault.

63. I wouldn't be suprised.
But my guess is that they signed away those rights. But I'd love to see them try.

Kaysar will probably have a future on TV. Same with Jenelle. She has that spark about her. Even though the last thing we need on TV is another blonde bombshell.

Between the two I'd have to pick Mag. I'm not watching either. For one, unless someone shoves Jennifer into a pile of horse shit and Beau runs to help her and slips falls head first into horse's ass then I have no desire to watch it.

That whole "friendship" shit ..... please! A group of pompus arrogant fuckheads. I think they might be in for a shock when they start reading some of the things that were written about them on the various web sites.

They got a taste of what the public thinks of them them Janelle won America's Choice TWICE!!

I wish they had a live studio audience for this show. I'd love to see the looks on their faces when people boo'ed the like of Jennifer, Ivette, April and the rest of the nerd herd.

39. Three times if I remember correctly
the last one was the promo trip to 2 and a Half men

One was the phone call from Michael

and the other was..... oh I know there was another one.


The thing about the "Friendship" that gets me is this. Eric picked them because they were votes period that is it. Easily the weakest players (maybe ever) but they get to vote. He was planning on using them to get he and Maggie along and then dump them. They literally were carried past being picked off simply because Eric* put them together otherwise they would have been drooling at the mouth and walking in circles in the backyard until they got wedged in a corner.

*-Eric came off as a a-hole but I have read here on DU that he read James the riot act about the war in Iraq and that Kaysar took James to the side and explained what has really happened to the people or Iraq. Eric is a union guy.

2. I'm of two minds about Big Brother
Maggie is very boring. I hate when boring people win these things. However, Ivette is extremely annoying. So, I'm not rooting for either one of them.

41. If I were in that house and voting:
RKM: Ivette pick a number between 1 - 20.

Ivette: What the fuck kinda question is that? Is that all you can think to ask (ax) me? That's a crock of shit. After all this time all you can fucking ask (ax) me is to pick a fucking number between 1 and fucking 20? You can stick your numbers up your ass!

RKM: Maggie, you're a bitch but you just got my vote.

45. Funny that is how Richard Hatch won the first Survivor
there was a blonde guy who apparently hated being on the show and was edited around. He was wearing a #9 jersey and asked Richard and ____ to pick number between 1 and 10. Richard picked 8(the guy was wearing a BIG #9 jersey) she picked 7 and the number was later revealed to be...... 9. Richard won by one vote.

Edited on Tue Sep-20-05 03:07 PM by mvd
Except for her comments about Muslims. It's refreshing to see a player who puts people in one alliance first. April showed how she's not just a follower. I also like emotional people.

Maggie's ok, though. I won't be mad if she wins.

12. Yes
It looks like it's going to be a good season, too. I really liked the first episode and I usually find first episodes of the season boring. I'm glad they didn't have two people pick tribes, or split the tribes by men and women, and just got right down to things with a major challenge. Survivor premiers were starting to get tedious.

29. I think so, too.
His comment about his second chance at a million at the tribal council wasn't too smart. But, even without that, he became a target the minute the producers decided to bring him back, as did Stephanie.

44. JD seriously better win or I'm going to hurt somebody.
Last week when Susie went home instead of MiG, I think I said some words I haven't said in a loooonnnnnggggg time, LOL.

Marty is too hardcore for INXS--he looks to me like he didn't even really like them until this show started. I see him taking his "patiently controlling" personality solo. And I don't think it was cool of him to say no one cares about albums anymore, just singles. Granted, I think his personality fits more with INXS though...older mature guy...very smart...but his song Trees is too cute and boring. The forest will give us the answers? What?

MiG. UGH!!! ##*(#$(*@#$(*@#$*!!! He is NOT A ROCK SINGER!!!!!!! He's perfect for Broadway, which is where he was before (musical theater), and if the show is any indication, that's it for his music background. He's like an Australian Clay Aiken. Don't even...don't even get me started, LOL. When he played his (boring) song for his departed friend and laid it on thick that INXS should appreciate it too....disgusting, and I am sure he's too nice of a guy to understand how disgusting it was. And him singing "Live and Let Die"....just...ugh.

JD is the only logical choice as far as music goes. Pretty Vegas sounds like an INXS song. His musical style seems to go best with INXS' catalog. He's just so obviously the best fit. Granted, his attitude may cause them concern. And that is a big issue and I'd see Marty winning because of it.

I think the serious competition is between Marty and JD tonight. MiG! *&#@&!!!

53. "Pretty Vegas" sounded like The Cult to me

but then I am no musician.

Mig...he looks a LOT like William Defoe ("Platoon" etc) doesn't he? They seem to have softened the lines on his face recently.

Sus was doing good but a female lead singer of INXS? I always assumed the women were doomed. Unfair? Yes but that is how it is.

As I said above I think they really wanted Mig from the beginning but he really hasn't done very well recently. I think that JD is their smartest choice I just don't see the maturity in Marty (see his bio somewhere above) even though he has lots of experience.

Either way lots of people will buy the new album and go to see their tour and they get to cash checks 10 years after their run should have been over.

I have to say that they house band is damned good-to my ear. When INXS did get on stage they looked awkward and sounded flat.

Brooke Burke will be scantilly clad.

64. I don't think Susie should have gone home before MiG though.

You've got to capitalize the G, that's the "cool" thing about MiG, LOL. :eyes: He looks like Willem with a bird chest (and sweet jeebus he ripped his shirt. What is this? 1987?).

I didn't think Susie would win (I hated her Bohemian Rhapsody), but she's got a better voice and isn't as #$@@!!! as MiG is. That makes sense what you're saying, that they wished he'd done better, as he's an Aussie and all. And he wasn't ever in the bottom three (WHY?!), so in that way I kind of getting it.

You're right about the house band vs. INXS, and that's precisely *why* they need to go with JD. INXS look like a bunch of old, uncool dudes (though, I've gotten to like them more watching the show, especially that one guy...and that other guy. LOL.)--they really need a young, WOW factor. I don't see that with Marty. With Marty I see them *trying* to be relevant again... with JD I think they have a fighting chance.

Brooke Burke's part could have been done by any woman in the audience. Why does she have a career?

70. Great Commentary on the INXS show. I've only been watching for a month
Mig belongs on Broadway.

The guy who said nobody buys albums anymore was probably right. He should win just for the surprise factor (hey! they picked him anyway!!!)

:D
