Advice to Future Big Brother Houseguestsby Rob Daugherty -- 09/16/2002
View Printable version of this article Should you follow my simple advice, you will be loved on the net! Understand that this pertains only to your relationship with the internet folks. How you deal with those in the house is up to you. And so, here's my advice to future houseguests. (I'd like to thank the many people in the discussion group Big-Brother-CBS who added their suggestions.) In no particular order... * First of all, even though you and everyone else in the house plan on winning the game and even though you and everyone else are mentally counting down who's out and how many weeks are left, do NOT say, "1 down, 10 to go." In other words, do not admit to playing the game. It's always best to say that you are there just for the experience. * Do not admit in the Diary Room that you lied. The majority of the internet watchers will constantly insult you and call you a liar and manipulator. (See Danielle.) * There are a few times you should allow the internet people to see that you are lying: * Even if someone is disgusting in every way, IF he also happens to be the older person (because most people in the house will be attractive 20-somethings), then do NOT insult him even if you are factually correct in every way. What will happen is that people will refuse to discuss what this disgusting person does and instead start attacking YOU because you are throwing the insults. (See Marcellas and Gerry.) * Do NOT spew insults. An occasional insult is OK, but if you constantly slam others (see Marcellas), you will suck. This is especially bad if you are nice to the insulted person right after you spew the insults. The internet folk will find you vile, morally corrupt, and a liar - as they very well should. * If someone is spewing insults - true or not - you should either politely request them to stop or walk away without participating. Ideally, at least one or two positive comments about the insulted should be thrown in. (See Jason.) * Do not look at yourself in the mirror more times than is absolutely necessary. (See Will, Marcellas.) * (Strategy) Do not hook up with someone. One of the two of you will surely get booted. * Do not hook up with someone because eventually those watching the feeds will get sick of seeing you two together. And since you can hardly NOT be together in that house, you will soon be wished away. (See Lisa and Eric, Will and Shannon, Krista and Justin and Boogie.) * Since most hook-ups in the house are just because you're in the house and have nothing else better to do and are usually with someone you normally would never hook up with in the outside world (see Roddy and Chiara), you will not be liked should your partner be voted out and you admit that you really didn't care for that person all that much. * If you happen to be a hook-up partner with someone who is aligned with the non-religious, scheming team, it is OK to dissolve the hook-up relationship as long as it means siding with the religious good guys. (See Lisa.) Should it happen the other way, you will be despised. * If possible, never lie. (It's not possible, but the internet people simply cannot stand liars even though IT'S A FREAKING HALF-MILLION-DOLLAR GAME!!) If you lie, then you must be the super-Christian (it must be Christian, it can't be any other religion) and you must be very sad about lying and ask for forgiveness and it must be done very subtly and only if it means staying in the house longer. (See Jason.) If you ever lie to the religious, honest person - even if it's only so that you stay in the game - you will be despised. 1 2 3 Next-->View Printable version of this article |
