The old guy from Season 1 who loved his chickens just a little too much.

Vote For George

I say he's on the list to make the viewers happy, but he's just not young and cute enough to make the cut. I'm old and fat myself - and I loved George on the show, but you know the producers want the hard-bodies on to wear tiny clothes and hook up with each other.

He's the pick for Vote For The Worst. I didn't watch BB1 so I have no opinions on him but I suspect his only way of getting in the house is VFTW.

I am one of the 7 people who watched season 1 (feeds were free, yo!) and I don't need to see this guy again. He tried FAR to hard to be the "wacky older guy" who put shit on his head for the live show and thought the shower was a spaceship.

Has anyone looked at the "Personal Appearances" page? Apparently, George is "hitting the streets in his chicken costume" in cities all across the country, every day from today until the 28th.

I don't think there's any way we can avoid seeing him in the house this summer, and that makes me want to poke my eyes out.

I watched season 1 and he went bat shit crazy at one point and tried to convince everyone that was still in the house if they revolted and quit, they would all win the money. It made no sense at the time but was pretty entertaining on the feeds. Of course, I don't remember much mention of it on the actual show.

I think he's in regardless as the lone representative from Season 1. And the sad part is, he's such a weak, non-threatening player that he'll be around for a long, long, long, time. No one is gonna want to waste an HoH week on him. He might just June his way through this whole thing.

*sigh*

They did show it on the show actually, even with the one of the producers piped in voices reading them the "riot act". That part of season one was actually pretty fascinating, and one of the few times in BB history where things seemed to be really "real", in the sense that it would be people's reaction in a situation where they had very little external stimuli. Fascinating from a psychological point of view, but I'm not sure it the long run that it makes for "entertainment".

Anyway, I think I will throw a few votes old George's way, just for old times sake. And maybe a few for Brittany, too! (In my mind, anyway...) I wonder if his wife will organize a huge voting bloc in their town? Ahh, old times...

I think the producers will choose him because they want someone from each season and he'll fill the "middle aged man" casting requirement. Personally, I would've preferred to see the FBI guy from season 4 (who was friends with Erika).

I would have liked to have seen that guy Mike who was a Big Bro fanatic but got voted out first in his season.

Chicken George is sure hitting the campaign trail, though! Dayam! Chicken suit and all. That's dedication.

BB1 viewers: did he bring more of the crazy or the weird? Either way, it seems like it'd be kind of entertaining to have him in as a wildcard.

My opinion is he brought more of the pathetic. It makes me feel embarrased to watch him. Like someone who is trying to be a cool kid but just can't and never will be. I would prefer *almost* anyone to Chicken George (except Cowboy and Dana), but I've resigned myself to the fact that he's going to be there one way or other.

Wasn't there something in the news last year about Chicken George having cancer? It's good to see him doing so well if that is the case.

Edited to say that I Googled George and the cancer thing is now rumored to be a rumor. WTH?
Does anyone know for sure?

He brought the crazy, the weird and the pathetic. Also the slightly unhinged. In BB1 the houseguests nominated the evictees and the home audience voted to evict someone. George realized all four of the remaining houseguests had nominated him while he was chopping vegetables in the kitchen and he mashed the hell out of those veggies while the rest of them looked around at each other uncomfortably. Then Curtis started laughing and he had one of those donkey bray sort of laughs and everyone, including George, laughed and relaxed. It was a very weird moment.

Thanks for that, to everyone. Sounds like he was...um, unique. I think he'd be good to change up the dynamic from all the Goddamned pretty (real, artificial, or alleged) people. Probably gone in the first two weeks, but what the hell.

My first post y'all!

I'm all for George for old times sake but he will definitely be the first to go. Season one was the lamest but yeah the feeds were free and I would watch them just waiting for some excitement. ...which needless to say, never really happened!

George is one of those guys who thinks anything "wacky" -- wigs, bizarre costumes, odd voices, impromptu skits -- is per se funny and entertaining. And he feels it is his duty to entertain America constantly.

I can't think of a single time any of his stunts were funny or entertaining in the way he intended. Most of the time, it was embarrasing to watch. But a few times, it got so WTF? that you couldn't tear your eyes away and it was funny and entertaining, but totally at his expense. Try to find his carbonated shower spaceman "sketch" on Youtube or something for the classic example. I don't think he is actually insane, but sometimes he does raise questions.

So, he's not the kind of guy who is actually funny and you laugh with him. He's usually just pathetically trying too hard. But sometimes it gets so over the top that you just have to laugh at him.

Beyond all that, he is a genuinely nice guy.

I sort of want him on because I can't imagine him in an alliance against alliance situation. It will be fascinating to see him actually try to play the game and not just concentrate on being "wacky." I can't imagine he would be good at it, and I don't see him winning any competitions, which makes me think he might go fairly far -- everyone is going to have bigger fish to fry early on.

Welcome, Daisylou! I thought the same thing also about George being back in - but it's possible people could go after the more famous, "skilled" players and he may be able to float along. Really depends on how he interacts with the group, I guess. Agreed about the first season live feeds - it was kind of Zen watching them, or like watching a lava lamp. The whole almost-revolt was kind of interesting, though.

This is EXACTLY how I would describe him. He's the guy who thinks he is being strange in the "Oh, isn't he so wacky and entertaining" way when really everyone around him is thinking "Oh, God, George thinks he is being wacky and entertaining again. And he is not. He is SO not."

I still remember watching S1 where viewers voted off contestants by using touch-tone phones. Yes, dearie it's true. I remember the folks in CG's hometown being shown in a boiler room (a room with lots of phones) voting against a woman HG in order to save CG. Maybe I dreamed this.

For the record, I'm 54 and it amuses me that some young folks (20 -30) say that CG "appeals to the 50+ demographic." You wait, you'll see - 50 ain't old. And just because your over 50 doesn't mean you think likw all other 50 year olds. And being over 50 does not cause Chicken George love. No it does not.

I watched season 1, too, and George's batshit crazy revolt was the best thing to happen the entire time, so I will give him that. The damn show was on 5 times a week, feeds were free and it was so BORING (yet I still watched- I am so BB's whore!). Only George's antics and InsaneKaren's meltdowns over her husband made it tolerable. He's a lock for a producer pick in my opinion, so I am not voting him in. I think it would be really interesting for him since the game was completely different the first season.

Are you freakin kidding me? Chicken George? And then he tries to bust out his Snoop Chicken rap or whatever the hell THAT thing was, and I had to throw up a little in my mouth because I shared a moment with Mike Booger.

HATE!

And get the damn feeds up already, all this hate needs to go someplace. Stupid BB.

I don't know, friends, I have this feeling. This feeling that George could go far this season. The chicken could fly under the radar.

Course, I've had feelings like this before. It was gas.

:: drumming fingers...I need the feeds ::

One middle-aged chicken is worth two middle-aged basketball jersey wearing wannabees.

This is embarassing but Chicken George kind of reminds me of my dad.
And that's all I'm going to say about that. *Hides under a rock*

Yes he is. And he raps better. I like to think that maybe, just maybe, George was making fun of Boogie.

All he has to do is play dumb. It's to his advantage. If he does that, he could very well win this.

I'd love to think George was mocking Boogie. But as one who watched all of Season 1, I can honestly (and sadly) say - it's unpossible.

Yeah, the Chicken Man is incapable of playing this game. He's a slightly funnier, older version of Cowboy. The only thing he'll do is latch on to some alliance (whichever one will have him) and probably ride them until the final 4. I do feel sorry for him in that house because the majority of the allstars are very patronizing to him. He's already an outcast.

That being said, I have a bad feeling that either George or Erika are going to the final 2. Nobody is gonna waste votes on them.

I still don't have an opinion on this dude, except to say he's better than Booger in every possible way.

Time will tell.

I'd LOVE that! I don't "know" George, but Boog made me like him(George, not Boog) when he said he'd never hang in RL with a middleaged fat man. (Hey Boog, your about 20 lbs away from that) I'd love to see a "Fat, Ugly and Stupid" person win this thing.

Part of me wants to see how much it would fuck with the other hammies if George won HOH either this week or next. They've ignored him and/or made fun of him so far, I'd love to see them scramble and kiss his ass. And you know he'd have crazy-ass reasons for some people being safe. "Well, Howie's giving me Jedi training, so he's safe..."

Alas, I think it's only a dream. Unless it's a complete toss-up contest for HOH, he brings nothing to the competition table.

Yeah it was all kinds of fun the week Jerry (I think it was Jerry) won HoH in season three.

I imagine George winning HoH would be similar.

eh

Stupid is as stupid does, and George does pretty bad. I remember his zany antics in BB1 and some of them were cruel and insensitive as well as dumb. Like the time he used catsup to decorate his T-shirt to make it look like he had been blasted by a shot-gun -- never gving a thought to how it might make the family of his best-friend feel. The best-friend that George had accidentally shot to death on a hunting trip the previous year.

Then there was the time George tried to get everyone to vote out Curtis because Curtis had asked George not to double-dip his Doritoes. It's that sort of random pettiness that makes George such a great wild card. I hope he sticks around; at least longer than Mike Boogie.

I watched the convo in the storage room between Dani and CG last night about his vote and she was about to kill him. I'd like to say "oh, Dani, bad game play...you should have kept your cool" but since I wanted to reach through my monitor and throttle him myself, I really couldn't blame her.

He told her earlier she had his vote, even shook on it, then backed out after talking to Ali. Fine, but then his reasoning to Danielle was so stupid. He said she gave him the impression she didn't know Kaysar outside the house and then he deduced with his big brain that she actually DOES know Kaysar outside the house. And that's why she's too shady, and he's justified in backing out of his earlier promise, per George.

Dani (honestly this time) responded with: I would never claim not to know any of these people outside of the house - I talk about going to all the wrap parties all the time. I know them all. But CG kept saying, well no - you led me to believe you didn't know Kaysar though he couldn't pinpoint when or how she led him to believe that. The thing that made it so infuriating about it was that he was so smug, like he'd really made some big revelation and is so smart not to be played by Danielle. That combination of stupid and smug is just, ugh.

He pissed off a lot of people with this crap - especially Danielle. She was so mad at him I don't think Marci has anything to worry about if she gets HOH.

I was cracking up over that confrontation. I think Danielle figured out pretty quick that he was reveling in this new position of people needing something from him, and that he wasn't going to give that position away by setting her mind at ease. Which is why I'm going to love it if she stays. Especially because I think he may have even pissed her off badly enough that she'll actually go for HoH, when before I assumed she'd start throwing comps.

My ideal scenario would be everyone flipping their votes, except for George and maybe Will and Boogie. Seeing the smug draining from those faces would be priceless. And I say this as someone who adores Will, but still, I almost think he needs to be mildly bamboozled just to get his head in the game and away from his endless plugging.

I watched BB1. I broke my ankle and had to stay on the couch for six weeks, so I got hooked on five nights a week of boring, boring, boring BB1.

Chicken George is not smarter than he looks. He may think he's playing dumb, but he's such a dim bulb it's not much of an act. He seems warm and fuzzy, and he's willing to make fun of himself - that all sounds good! But when an idiot gets a little power - oh my! Just call him my least favorite hamster ever.

Neon boy got no game. He just bumbles around. The poor schmuck can't even find the diary room. I think the other hamsters feel sorry for him.

It annoys me that he keeps playing dumb about seasons after his own. All the hammies are on to the fact that he knows everything.

There he is, a big neon green blimp, letting the wind waft him this way and that.

What did Chicken George do in Season 1 when he got power?

BB1 was boring and I didn't watch much of it, but I don't think they had HoHs back then. I think the most that the houseguests contributed to the vote was they picked two people for "nominations" and then the people who got the most votes from their housemates were voted on by America for eviction. I may be wrong about some of those details but I know America voted for the evictee. There wasn't much conflict in the house if I recall correctly.

There was some amount of stink though when George's friends and family made marathon calls to evict the pink-haired girl because they felt she was his biggest competition or something like that.

I am naive to feel bad for Chicken George?

I can understand Kaysar's and Janelle's frustrations. I say put up Erika and Kitchen and turn the heat up a little bit...

More likea about 10 lbs and 0 years.... As far as a fat, ugly, stupid person winning, I would say that at the least the last of the three has a pretty good chance in this house...

There was no power to get in season one. I was referring to his smarminess this season, when I posted about giving an idiot a little power...

Oh. I think I'm beginning to see that, sometimes. Is there a lot that I have missed on him? right now he just seems kind of endearingly down to earth, silly, and "real"--which in TV-speak usually means fat, ugly, and stupid, doesn't it? :-)

I dunno...I kind of think he'd be fat, ugly, and stupid in real life too.

Damn! I really wanted him to be a good guy. :-(

Just to be clear...he's retarded, right? I mean, retarded retarded, not like, stupid retarded. Because that's the only explanation for him looking like such a complete and total fucking numbshit on national tv.

uaintjak, you apparently missed BB1 - last night was mild....

I'll cosign that. He went a little crazy and dressed up like a spaceman, shook up some soda bottles and tried to launch himself into space from the wc. Um, I can't remember. Was that before or after he let Brittany dye his hair a lovely shade of rooster?

Ok, I get why everyone's annoyed by him but what's the rush to vote him out? This has been repeated, rehashed, rerun, reorganized, and regurgitated so many times BUT the guy is not a threat! Do the hammies despise him because he may possibly be a reminder of old (olderer than them) age and unflattering genes they know they carry?
