Big Brother is the name of the television reality game show it has nothing to do with 1984 other than where it gets it's name. I believe a very small part of the TV show BB can be attributed to Orwell's book. Not only are the HGs under constant scrutenity with cameras & microphones, they are in a microscope for all to observe over the internet & on TV. Certain conditions add to the heightened sense of loss of control. They must obey the disembodied voice of Big Brother at all times. They must depend on BB to provide them sustenance & supplies. BB tells them when to wake up. BB tells them when to stay outside or when to stay inside. Bathroom facilities are limited to force greater interaction. No 1 on 1 games are allowed in the beginning to encourage more group interaction. The playing cards don't come out until the group is down to just a few & after everyone has had a chance to get to know their fellow HGs. So a lot of BB is about manipulation of the environment & situations. Anyone notice how both Jameka's & Daniele's birthday parties caused moods to plummet? That was planned. It creates drama.

I was in Spain when it was running, so I would catch it most days and even though my German was pretty bad I was still bored to tears.

LMAO! DR Voice: "Danielle, we would like for you to leave the nominations as they are and NOT use the veto. As you can see through this one-way glass, we have your puppy hostage. Do as we say or we will "accidentall" drop him into Allison's meat grinder!" Puppy: "YELP!!!!"

It would be interesting for the viewing audience to see how the HGs react to the manipulation and would reduce the screaming about rigging ... that could be the "twist".

HAVE ANY OF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THE NAME "BIG BROTHER"?!?!? do you not understand that brother does not mean interpersonal camaraderie, nor does it imply simply "being watched", but also being manipulated??? Exactly...you are 100% correct. That's why this manipulation shit drives me up a wall. It isn't really a GAME assholes!

There are federal laws that prohibit producers from directly influencing the outcome of a game show. They started regulating game shows heavily after the Twenty One scandal in the 50's. If it can be proven that the producers manipulated the players to remove another contestant, they can be prosecuted. Remember Stacy Stillman's lawsuit about Survivor? That one went nowhere, but there was enough precedent for her to bring up the case. eta: This IS a game show. They are competing to win money. Let me type slowly so you understand MORON, since this comes up EVERY fucking season... IT IS NOT A GAME SHOW!!!!!!!! Just because you THINK it is doesn't make it one. It is about manipulation and deceit, and it is a reality show. You want a game show, go watch fucking Wheel of Fortune, dumbass. PS - THAT whiney bitch Stillman LOST the suit, which set the precedant, you fucking idiot. Since these days you can bring a lawsuit for anything with the flimsy of cases your statement actually proves what the rest of us are saying. Last Edited By: Crappysucks 08/20/07 9:53 AM.

Stacy got her money, which is why you haven't heard from her. It was a result of suit that CBS then removed the game show label from their reality shows. (That doesn't mean people can't bitch about it though)

I wish I can somehow give you the validation you obviously crave, but I'm afraid you will have to keep ranting, foaming, and posting a little while longer.

I know I haven't. They could have called the show anything, maybe "Lockdown." I would have liked "Summer of Insanity!" There is an implied connection between the TV show and and the book . . . a direct play on the words 'Big Brother.' There's a good chance that the original producers had to get permission from the estate of Eric Authur Blair (George Orwell) to use the term Big Brother. Licensing. Or, are we to assume this was an idea totally uninfluenced by anything previous? With each day, the DR sounds more and more like the "Thought Police!" Last Edited By: OPDinBBhouce 08/20/07 10:28 AM.
