Big Brother 4
There was a lot more visible plotting, open scheming and shifting
of alliances on this season of Big Brother. This page started as
a more graphic way to track what happened in the US Big Brother
house.
BB4 was back to usual
"OK, so I stopped watching the show a while ago."
Just as there were no outstanding or compelling characters or intersting
interactions from BB1 & BB2, this installment of the series
lost its fire when Dana left. I stopped watching the show for a
couple of weeks, but like a lot of people I kept up with it on the
Internet and tuned in again for the finals.
I really liked Dana at first. Then I totally hated her when all
her bluster about revenge for using the bed passes proved to be
nothing more than empty threats and she switched sides. Dana on
the show seemed self deluded and a total drama queen. It was the
reverse with Alison. At first I totally hated her until like the
third episode when she gave up her victimized princess role and
revealed some real strength and inteligence. BB4 had no secret tension
left when these two couldn't face off. There was some lingering
tension between the alliances especially while headed by Justin
and Nate, but that was all out in the open and only 'for the game'.
There's nothing more boring as a viewer than to have the plot figured
out well before the characters do.
What made BB3 dramatic was the manuverings to keep the overt alliance
intact and the covert manuverings to keep the secret alliances secret.
I wish Dani didn't personalize the game so much, but I loved that
she shared her secrets with the viewers at home while in the diary
room. It helped me feel like I was in on something and it was dramatic
to wonder if she would be found out with each passing episode. There
was almost none of that with BB4. Looking forward, I'll give BB5
a chance next summer but they'll have to sort out a better cast
and go back to providing more authentic twists if I'm to "Expect
the Unexpected"
Wrap Party for the Cast and Crew
I went to LA and got to meet the cast and crew of Big Brother!
My pal Jonathan has been working on the show this season and when
he read on my friendster profile that I watched the show, he invited
me to be his guest for the wrap party...
I Got a Gnome
You can see my souvenir gnome signed by all of the BB4 House Guests...
Below you'll find out how the fourth season of the show ended.
