elsie Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Does anyone know anything about the official houseguest rules/the big brother rule book? They mentioned something in Libra's interview about her not being allowed to sing, why is that?
Nodoubt575 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 They can't sing for copyright reasons, though I am not sure why in BBUK they can sing all the time.
lvgal Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 RULEBOOK????????? Hmmmmmmmmmm, I think the rulebook says you aren't allowed to physically kill anyone unless it increases ratings, of course! Seriously, there is some whacky rule book but I don't know if it's posted anywhere. Whacky, because for those who remember ED's reign, there seemed to be some dispute over whether or not even laws applied inside the BBH.
BettyFreakinCrocker Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 The rules are..there are no rules. ...It's all about the ratings.
Kittridge Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Right Betty... if it will increase ratings then it is now officially in the rule book
DreamAngel Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 They wouldn't release a rule book. Then they wouldn't be able to change them to suit their needs.
King123 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 exactly.. i think they keep a copy of the book in the kitchen..
oldguy Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of the Rule Book. There is obviously not enough room here to post them all, but I have selected a few at random. FOR THE WOMEN: 1.Female houseguests must constantly show their boobs - but no nipples please. 2. When bending over, some crack must show - but not as much as the plumber's under the sink. 3. You must use vulgar language in between your prayer sessions. 4. You must find a male houseguest with whom to roll under the covers - but not before the third night. 5. At least four of you must be able to cry on cue. 6. One of you must chain smoke. 7. One of you must appoint yourself as the kitchen maid. FOR THE MEN: 1. Never allow a brush or comb to touch your hair. 2. Do not wash your hands after using the bathroom. 3. Belch and fart as frequently as possible. 4. If gay, flirt with other men regularly. 5. Try to throw (lose) as many comps as possible. 6. Work out and flex your muscles daily to get the girls "worked up". 7. If HoH, stand and stare at the wall photos before the nomination ceremony. PLEASE, OTHER POSTERS, FEEL FREE TO ADD OTHER RULES. THEY NEED NOT BE IN THE OFFICIAL RULE BOOK.
Pepsi Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I think the rule book is written in invisable ink, with perhaps , a secret code, known only 2 the producers
SugarB Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Don't forget, for both male and female, they must stand at the bathroom mirror daily and pick their face or nose!
oldguy Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 SugarB - YES, that is definitely a rule! I looked it up in the Book Of Rules!
echo Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Yes, there are MANY MANY rules that are kept secret. All reality shows are like magic tricks, if the audience knows how the trick works, it takes a lot of the fun out it. Here is one simple example that I believe is true: A HG can not make up lies about what other HGs have done outside of the house. They can lie about what they have done themselves (ie "I got a PhD from Harvard"), but can't say "HG#1 told me he's a pedophile and has had sex with several young girls".... The reason for this rule is that a HG can't disprove lies while in the house, and it might cost him the game and then have to live his real life with people wondering if he really has had ad sex with little girls; imagine millions of TV viewers wondering if HG#1 is a pedophile, including HG#1 friends/family/employer. A lot can be deduced by what HGs don't do. If not constrained by the secret rules, BB would erupted into turmoil within hours of HGs entering the BB house.
GingerSnaps Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Lately, I think they make up rules as they go along. example: the hiding guest in the big black box rule, was pretty strict. Then there's the rule about (or no rule, rule) about dumping stuff on people's heads. No rules for spitting or peeing in public places. They need to fine tune the rule book.
BrandiYne Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 New Rule: Any house guest who makes a Major Whingy Whiny issue out of finding out that another hg *gasp* lied to them/threw them under the bus/had an alliance behind their back/<insert any game play of your choice here> needs to automatically be evicted for dumb assness. Seriously. If said individual makes it to the jury house, they cannot use the above reasons to THEN vote that person as the winner because they "Played a good game". I'm so sick of hearing how someone done done them wrong. It's a frickin' game of strategy and deception!!!!!!!!
echo Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 .... And I want a house full of expert chess and poker players who never do or say anything; they just evict each other each week without saying much of anything because they are smart enough to know that anything they say will be used against them. Yes, I am being very sarcastic because some ding dongs always complain about things they actually love about BB. The HGs are chosen because they whine, complain, and over react. The HGs are not chosen because the are smart & mature people, the are chosen specifically because they aren't.
