Looking at the BB11 Application

Since the application is online now at the CBS site, I thought I'd have some fun with a part of it. You're welcome to supply your answers, too!

Section IV: Your Chance to be Creative
53
List the three adjectives that best describe you.
Loquacious, cantankerous, intelligent

54
If you could hold any political office, what would it be and why?
Why would I want to do that? Hmmm ... nope, don't want to, thank you anyway.

55a
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of?
Still being alive and yet crazy after all these years. That and the fact I don't end sentences with prepositions much these days.

55b
What are you most ashamed of, either now or in your past?
I'm too ashamed to say.

56
Describe your perfect day.
When I've got no deeds to do, no promises to keep, I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep ... and feelin' groovy.

57
Who is your hero and why?
Spider-Man. Because he can do anything a spider can. Duh.

58
List three (3) items you would take with you into the Big Brother house if allowed and why.
My privacy, my sanity, and my cat. I'm a private person, I need my mind, and my cat would freak out without me.

59
Have you ever been to a nude beach? If so, what was it like?
No, but I think that most of the people on nude beaches are probably the types who should be clothed ... heavily.

60
Finish this sentence: “My life's motto is…”
"Gotta make the donuts."

61
What would you do if “Big Brother” made you famous?
Become an eccentric recluse.

62
What types of people would you choose to have living with you in the “Big Brother” house?
Intelligent but not pompous, people who don't cuss every other word, people without loud or shrieking voices.

63
What types of people would you NOT choose to live with you in the house?
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves.

64
What would irritate you about living in a house with about a dozen other people?
The dozen other people.

65
What do you think would be the most difficult part of living in the “Big Brother” house? Explain.
The dozen other people. Lock me alone in a house for three months and I'd be fine.

66
Which past “Big Brother” houseguest did you like the most? The least? Explain.
The best - Dr. Will. He was fun to watch on the feeds. The least - Jerry. He's not interesting, stares off in space a lot, wears those horrible cut-off sleeves, and has a vile mouth.

67
Do you have a strategy for winning “Big Brother”?
Lock myself in the bathroom until all the others vow in blood that they won't vote me out and they will vote for me to win in the end.

68
Aside from the cash prize, what do you hope to gain from winning “Big Brother”?
Um, public humiliation?

69
A recurring theme on “Big Brother” is “expect the unexpected.” How would you handle “the unexpected?” Are there any possible twists on the show that would be particularly challenging for you to handle?
I'm fine with "expect the unexpected." A possible twist which would be challenging would be if my long deceased evil 6th grade teacher showed up and berated me. Yes, I still carry a grudge.

70
Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself and why you think you'd make a great Big Brother participant and housemate? Try to differentiate yourself and be creative!
I will not run if nominated and if elected, I will not serve.

BB10: HOH Part Two Winner Bulletin


The feeds just returned. Memphis won the second part. So, it will be Memphis and Dan in the final part.

BB10: Latest Live Feeds and ...

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. Right now the feeds have been blocked for a few hours -- I believe the second part of the HOH comp is going on. I'll let you know when I know.

BB10: Live Feeds Itsy Bit and Keesha on Early Show Video

Oh my gosh ... there is almost nothing happening outside of eating and napping in the house today. They're on indoor lockdown. Memphis and Dan briefly teamed up to talk HOH comp questions while Jerry was in the shower. In lieu of any real news, I'm going to give you the video of Keesha with Julie Chen on The Early Show.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Dawn


Aw, a boy and his balsa wood airplane. Ain't it just too adorable? Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Marine Renegades:
  • Memphis and Jerry talked about the problems they had hanging onto the ropes the way they had to in the comp.
  • Jerry thinks they should have had handles. @@
  • Dan and Memphis briefly talked -- they don't want Jerry to see them talking together until after the second part of the HOH comp.
  • Dan talked to Jerry about how much he likes and misses Keesha.
  • Having heard Julie say the finale is Tuesday, Jerry doesn't know why they'd drag the show out with the final two alone in the house so long. He's got a point there.
  • Dan played with two ping pong balls and his wooden airplane.
  • Jerry sucked up to Memphis telling him how much he admired how he was playing the game although they got off to a rough start.
  • Memphis told him he respected him, too. Sure.
  • Dan wants Memphis to convince Jerry to throw the second part of the HOH. Memphis isn't sure Jerry will do it.
  • As Jerry and Memphis drilled each other on practice questions, the BB voice told them that kerosene lanterns are good to have when you're camping.
  • All are asleep as I post this.
