PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

the roles that i picked myself (kelly's bathroom, christina, and sommer), just seemed like they'd be fun- the bathroom b/c of it's part in a little (so house style!) controversy, christina and sommer b/c they seem a little similar- girls that are bit mixed-up, make bad choices, but are just sweet girls, deep down. sharnina asked me to take on jodi, and i just had fun with it. no deep reasons, just tried to pick those that i thought would be the most fun

Frankly, I didn't know thing one about Jon Murray, except that he's one of the early pioneers of reality TV because of The Real World and Road Rules. In fact, any resemblance between the real Jon Murray and mine is probably intentional coincidental. And we needed someone to kick off the game each week. I thought the interplay between Jon and Rhonda was a riot (winks @ Sahara). I brought in the ghost of Mary-Ellis Bunim a few times to demonstrate how the show had strayed from its original premise, a fact not lost on the folks on this forum. I meant no disrespect whatsoever. What made this game unique was the addition of so many characters from beyond the show. At first, I thought such a thing would be dangerous, especially if "houseguests" weren't posting. But eventually I got into it, even bringing NASCAR racer Jimmie Johnson in for one visit after peeps complained that his rain-postponed win in Atlanta pre-empted SO one Monday. Great jaerb (as Coach Z would say), one and all! And remember: opportunities exist to play "Be The . . ." for other shows, and it's usually a case of the more peeps, the merrier!

I did not choose Rhonda, I feel like Rhonda chose me! I had just started playing "Be the Skating Celebrity" and was having a blast, and then when Cyg decided to start a "Be the Houseguest" game, of course I could not resist! When I saw the sign-up thread, several of the houseguests and Iyanla were already taken, and nobody had chosen poor Rhonda. So I was up for a challenge...and oh, my gosh, I have had so much fun! This game is my stress relief. I am going to miss it so much. I get into my characters...I actually had my feelings hurt when Jon-Boy rejected Rhonda! lol Yes, Cyg, that interplay was the BEST. She is so easy to play...lots of good material from Rhon-DAW. Dr. VantToLookJung came up just as a one-timer one day. I had had a bad week the week before and had been unable to post, so I felt the need to explain Rhonda's absence, and so voila, there was Rhonda's Botox man! And then when Cyg found that hilarious picture, I knew Dr. V. had to come out and play some more. He and Bridey were a hoot, also! I have a soft spot in my heart for Dr. V. Hey, I thought she would bring a bit of pizazz into the game. Such an obnoxious houseguest is just full of material. I have had SO much fun. I think I wish the show would come back just so I can play the game! I will miss it greatly, and thanks for all the fun, friends! AF 2006 I am a Be the...addict. Is there a twelve-step program? I was playing five of those games at one time.

Andy is just so -- so -- out there, and so unlike my real personality, and I think that's why I wanted to play her. She's so downright prissy I thought I could put her into some difficult situations just to see how she'd get out of them!
Naturally Andy's mother had to be a total, polar opposite of Andy, somebody Andy would see as wild, and feel the need to "rein in," somebody who would embarrass the daylights out of Andy and break down her prissy façade. And the idea of the bride of Frankenstein's monster literally popped into my head! I just loved the fact that Vanty fell for her, and they became a couple! I found myself actually kind of thinking they were real people!
What can I say?! I honestly haven't kept up with this guy except to hear, every once in a while, some piece of bad, crazy press about him. I felt like he'd be a real caricature of a reality-show "star," and someone we could all have fun with.
I got a kick out of Dr. Stan buddying up to Cat Stevens. I mean, can you imagine?! What a pair! So I tried to make Yusuf/Cat the total opposite of how he comes across in his real life -- I tried to make him more of a tough-talking, Vegas-y type who might have tried to pal around with somebody like good old Dr. Stan. The rest of the folks? Just sheer craziness on my part, and playing off other peoples' characters. So many talented, funny people played this game, and I want to thank all of you for allowing my "drive-by" appearances with all the crazy characters!
This is the first time I've ever played a game like this. It was a real blast, and I have enjoyed not only the game, but this whole board, as well. The threads are so well-moderated, and it's obvious you mods take your jobs seriously. This, of course, results in a better time for all of us, and I do appreciate it! JavaT (working on a sig for myself, LOL!)
