"Big Brother #8 summary sign-ups & schedule."

Posted by Estee on 07-04-07 at 09:22 AM
Are you sarcastic? Hard to please? Feel that hamsters should be an extinct series? Want to take out a few of them yourself? Then you can be a BB8: Summer Of Stupid summary writer! There's no previous experience required: all you have to bring is your raw hatred, a spellchecker, and a strong desire for revenge. Sign up today!

.......................


And now, the specifics.

BB summaries generally go two ways: by the episode (if there's a lot of signups) and by the week (if there aren't), compressing three airings into one rant of fury. (The main hazard with working by the episode is that summaries have to appear quickly -- ideally, before the next airtime shows up.) The premiere has to get special treatment either way, as the person with that summary is essentially responsible for introducing the cast, even if the editing doesn't bother to. Especially if the editing doesn't bother to.

If you're interested, sign up here. Until CBS provides further notice, we're looking at a July 5th (Thursday) premiere (which should be handled as a stand-alone), followed by a Saturday (HOH/nominations)/Tuesday (veto)/Thursday (ouster) cycle. If there's any dates you can't do, please let us know in advance.

Why delay? Hate a hamster today!

Wait a minute. Who's 'us'?

Why not? Although I can't top last year's calls directly from the cage by Dr. Will.........

I can do a few this season. Heck, this year I have TIVO so it will be much easier for me to do a recap than in previous years.

I'll check back tonight to see what kind of schedule has been put together.

Oh, and FYI - I'm out of town from Aug 7 - 12 so will be unavailable for recaps during that time. Thanks! Happy 4th of July everyone!

Sign.me.up.

Late July is best, but most weeks should be fine.

Come on. It isn't BB without a sarcastic angry rant from me.

I can do a Sunday summary. Any Sunday except July 8 (which i believe is already covered) and August 5. Just assign me a date and I will work it in.

The Tuesday and Thursday shows are always iffy for me because I'm not always home from work in time.

I want to write summaries. I'm on holidays right now and only have a few minutes left at this computer. I return home on July 13. I'm also not available on July 26-27 or Aug 20.

I won't be able to reply until after my holidays.


Three is the perfect number.

Um... Ra and I were actually watching this show, and feel a real pull towards doing a roving report on it. I know there are official summaries and we would be very unofficial. Would it upset anyone, or step on anyones toes if we do one?



"RE: Big Brother #8 summary sign-ups & schedule."
Posted by mattben on 07-10-07 at 03:38 PM
I want my summary!

Or just to twirl on a mushroom cap.

Any date will do.

Ya know, I was going to stop doing summaries for a while - especially after watching the first eight minutes of America's Got Talent But the Brits and Hasselhof Don't - but I have come to hate some of these contestants so much that I have a growing need to eviscerate the lot of them all at once.

It looks like there may be an elimination night after Slicey's episode. I can do that or something later.

Hi Estee; I could do one summary next week. How about Thursday August 2nd?

BTW: When are you doing one?


"RE: 'Too late to edit the first one' schedule update."

I can do another Sunday episode if you like - just not August 5th.

On the other hand, given this year's crop, it's not as if anyone has a lot of bashing material to work with.

Yeah, right.

Hello...ello...ello... There's a lot of echo in here. Are will still going on with the summaries? I know that I didn't get many readers but I'd be willing to do this Thursday's episode.

"RE: Big Brother #8 summary sign-ups & schedule."
Posted by michel on 08-09-07 at 05:32 PM
In agreement with Estee, I'll be doing a summary for week 5 which should be posted Friday, August 10.

Aruba will be doing a summary for next Thursday's episode.


"RE: Big Brother #8 summary sign-ups & schedule."
Posted by Snidget on 08-09-07 at 07:24 PM
Assuming CBS doesn't pull it off the air and send it to the Innertube I will be available after the 18th of Aug for a summary.

Wanna get SYTYCD finished (three episodes next week, yikes)


Cooling off with Agman!
