Interesting. I asked if I could pour you all a drink and got the 'go make myself comfortable' message. They didn't mention the bare pantry, though. Do you think we'll get locked in and have to eat each other? lol The Big Brother Donner Party Game


Hahaha Laughing

I'm hoping for some sort of supernatural element added to this, not something like the Big Brother TV show. If not, though, I'll still happily play.

Also, i just got this:
Quote:
As you look around you notice the cameras on the wall and ceiling in some places, evident of the show. You also notice the swimming pool and an exterior shower area, in the garden.

In the bedroom, which you can see through a large perspects glass window, are eight nicely furnished beds all of which have drawers equipped underneath to store your clothing and accessories from your suitcases, once you receive them from Big Brother.

***THIS - IS - BIG BROTHER.

Big Brother reminds all Housemates that there are to be no cellular/mobile phones, iPods, or any other device which could connect Housemates to the outside world, in the House. Housemates are also reminded that books, pens and paper unless specifically given to Housemates by Big Brother are also prohibited.***

I've never watched it either, but I've read about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(TV_series)

Quote:
Big Brother is a reality television show, where, in each series,
a group of people live together in the Big Brother House, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras.
Each series lasts for around three months, and there are usually fewer than 16 participants. The housemates try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic evictions from the house


EDIT: Whoops, sorry Peacemaker, didn't see your edit.

No, I've never really watched a whole episode. I do know that the housemates had to perform challenges & that they would get voted off.

Well it looks like we're still waiting for our 8th... I sent an email saying I recognized a few faces; RAD, Peacemaker, & Heather & that I couldn't seem to recall ever meeting the other room mates before... Is it possible that we may go around to introduce ourselves?
Quote:

***Big Brother asks all Housemates to wait until everybody has made their arrivals before the introduction processes. They will begin in due course. Big Brother thanks all Housemates for their understanding.***
Upon further reflection you will probably find that a few of these Housemates may have been seen by you at the audition process. But certainly there is nobody here who you would recognize from the outside world

So, I guess we're all strangers... Rolling Eyes

Three Schwinn, you are now officially a Housemate. You may enter the Big Brother House.***

You walk through the main doors and you see the Housemate who walked in before you surveying the surroundings. As you do the same, you notice both a kitchen and dining area, a door to the garden which is locked and one to a bedroom which is also locked.

***Three Schwinn. Welcome to the Big Brother House, make yourself as comfortable as you can while the rest of the Housemates take their place.***

I might as well throw my hat in the ring. I guess I'm the eighth player.
Hi everybody I'm Schwinn.

Oh bummer Jonttu. Crying or Very sad It looks like we have all 8 now... Stick around though, you never know. One of us might get booted out or even eaten Wink
So it starts...
Quote:

***THIS - IS - BIG BROTHER.
Would all Housemates please make their way around the dining table.***

You listen to the voice booming out of the speakers around you and do as requested. Making your way to the dining table and for the first time, notice a thick black book sitting in the center of the table.

***Housemates. As you have no doubt noticed there is a book on the table. This is the Big Brother House rulebook. Big Brother asks all Housemates to familiarize themselves, with the rules of the House. The doors to the garden and bedroom, are now open.***

Noticed it didn't include any instruction as to taking turns... Hmmm, maybe it won't be like Transition Villiage at all in that respect?

There was a code at the end of my email, which was Base64, and it translated to thisisbbdotblogspotdotcom, which leads here: http://thisisbb.blogspot.com/

Well, these are the rules
