Inside Dish With Julie Chen

Here's the last of Blistering's story about his experience in the audience last night...
Quote:
 
Before the show recap, there is one other thing I forgot to mention in the previous part. When we were all seated and the first guy came out to talk about the show, he wanted to see who the audience thought would win the season. He went through all the HG names and had everyone applaud to vote for who they thought would win at the end of the season. (Also, most of the audience didn't seem to be feed watchers judging by the conversations I heard in the waiting line.) But going by the applause, the audience thought Lydia was most likely to win followed by Casey. In last place was Ronnie who didn't get a single person to clap when they called his name. The set was crickets. It was pretty funny. The next two in last place were Chima (one person clapped) and Natalie (one person clapped). So in the audience, even the non-feed watchers hated those two.

Once the show started there are some opening camera shots as Julie does her monologue and shakes audience hands. Then they ran about 15 minutes of footage. During that time the audience just sits and watches the show unfold on the monitors while the production staff goes about setting up for when the cameras come back to Julie. Everything is pretty quiet and the audience is pretty absorbed in watching the show. It stays like this until they return from the first commercial break. During the clips they were showing though, you could hear people in the audience seeing some of the argument clips for the first time and started to change their opinions about some of the people.

Going by audience reaction (in the votes and HoH comp) Lydia's popularity dropped over the course of the show. As did Kevin's when he told Jordan the bit about ostracizing the Jeff and Braden or pay the price.

But nothing much interesting happened for the first 20 minutes until Julie started her conversation with the HG's. The questions to the HG's on the couch were pretty uneventful. Just normal questions and answers and the audience didn't react beyond the occasional chuckle.

During the HoH questions, the audience was not impressed with Jessie. There were a few Jessie fans, but the audience was quiet and didn't have any reaction to Jessie's answers aside from an occasional chuckle at something stupid.

On the nominee statements of course there was a lot of audience reaction. As soon as Chima dropper her bombs the audience was looking around with everyone thinking "did she just say what I thought she said?" The stage manager was standing back there making gestures telling the audience to keep it cool. Julie didn't bat an eyelash though. She's a pro. There were still a lot of murmurs in the audience as that speech was pretty unexpected. I don't remember the full quote though I've seen it posted, but what Chima said was along the lines of "Some people in here must have short memories. Braden called two people a beaner and Julie he also called you a whore…"

During the commercial break in the middle of voting, the stage manager talked to the audience and told them nice job on keeping cool. He told everyone that Standards and Practices has the footage now and will be taking that out. He said we picked a good show to attend since we were the only ones that would get to hear Chima's exact words. But other than that, production didn't react to it at all. I'm sure those people have seen and heard everything and are always ready for anything that happens. Especially with the type of people they cast. It was kind of weird sitting there though, knowing that what was just filmed had gone off to some people in another room somewhere who bleeped it out and then passed it right on to the broadcast. They really have an amazing operation up there.

When back from commercial the voting continues. The voting part is the only part where it's better to see it on TV. In the studio, you can't hear the HG talk when they go in to vote. At one of the shows last season they explained that they didn't want to take any chances that the HG's on the other side of the wall on the couches can hear people talking when they vote. You can hear all the other convos during the show, just not the reading of the votes. So when you are there in the audience, everyone is squinting trying to read lips on the small monitors. The audience was quiet during voting until Ronnie. Every knew that he was the swing vote and so everyone was paying close attention at that point. When Ronnie voted, most of the audience let out a sigh. A few people clapped, but most were not happy with that outcome. When Jessie chose to evict Braden there wasn't much reaction as everyone pretty much expected that.

When the evicted HG is saying their goodbyes is the most exciting time in the audience. The HG is about to walk out that door, through the audience and the show moves into the studio. When Braden came out, the audience was genuinely cheering him on and while mostly sad to see him evicted, the audience as pretty happy to get to see him interviewed. Braden was visibly bummed to have been evicted and was down as was seen on the show. But the audience was friendly to him with laughs, cheers and applause. During this time production is busy gong about there jobs and not much is going on on that front. Julie was a little cold in her interview compared to as friendly as she has been with other evictees in the past.

After the interview they whisked Braden away to a back room somewhere to await coming back out for the early show interview after the BB episode finishes.

During the HoH comp the audience was paying close attention. But there wasn't much reaction during the comp. Everything was quiet until Laura was eliminated and then the girl what was cheering for Braden's eviction clapped enthusiastically. When Ronnie won there was no reaction. Before the comp the stage manager told us not to applaud for the winner of the HoH comp. (They always do this, it was nothing special for this episode.) So when Ronnie won, there was no applause but the audience wasn't happy about it anyway.

After that Julie came back from commercial to say the final words and then they had the audience applaud as the show ended.

Once the show was over, production set about changing the set and getting things ready to bring Braden back so they could tape his interview segment for The Early Show the next day.

Janelle's most recent Twitter:

"Let me be perfectly candid: I think Ronnie is a loser, Lydia's a skank and Natalie's pretty but manly at the same time."

She's finally come to her senses where Ronnie is concerned!

Just watched. I already knew Ronnie had HoH as that was spoiled to me. I really think with everything in the episode, the thing that made me CRAZY the most is Lydia insisting Jordan lied about being friends with her because she cried over Braden going up. Seriously, it drove me insane and I wish Jordan would have said another reason it was sadder to see Braden go up was because Lydia had more options to get herself off like the veto (which incidentally was used on her) but Braden now can only campaign.

So I had not hated Lydia into this episode.

Chima's comments have already been covered by everyone here so I'll let that go.

This season reminds me so much of BB6.

Natalie = Maggie/Ivette. Annoying cult leader.
Kevin = Beau. Whiny gay bitch.
Russell = Cappy. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!
Michele = Sarah. Sweet and quiet.
Casey = Howie. Offbeat, not afraid to speak his mind.
Laura = Janelle?
Ronnie = James. The weasel in the middle who plays both sides.

There's also the house division, which clearly BB6 is famous for.

:puke:

Ronnie is vile. Kevin is disgusting.

I'm upset that my dork, Braden, has left the house. With all these other losers in the house, and he ends up going first. Way too soon! I was cracking up at him cussing Lydia out. And did he tell her to go back to Burbank? LOL. *sigh*

Jeff's drowning comment... :laugh:

Lydia was obnoxious. Why didn't you cry for me when I went up?? WTF?

And Russell. Russell thought he was hot shit with his shirt unbuttoned like that. I can't stand to look at him or his neck.

Ronnie is repulsive.

Was there a live audience for evictions last season? I can't recall.

Ronnie is disgusting.

I'm ashamed at how much most of us liked Lydia when the cast first got released.
I had such high hopes. :angry:

I watch for three reasons.

1.) DR sessions.

2.) I want to see how the show edits it all together.

3.) Dan is supposed to be on tonight. :)
