If you had only an hour, what ...how would you pack for 3 months?

[schmoo2]

and is there no Easter Bunny either?

[scoot13]

what next? Are you going to tell me that they cast actors in the show? Or that these guests may be splitting a portion of their winnings with an agent?

I agree that they know ahead of time that they are in the running and have a possibility of being on they show. I would just pack everything ahead of time and if I get picked, then it's great that I'm prepared. If I don't, then I'll just have 3 months supply of everything. I would also make sure that my bills are taken care of for the next 3 months (I have autopay for everything anyway except my homeowner's assoc fee so that's probably the only one I'd have to worry about) and also get everything squared away with my employer to make sure I have a job when I come back. Also, I would pack the book Animal Farm just to see if I could get away with it. I don't really see why they should object since the whole premise of the show is based on that book but they probably would take it away from me. I would also try to have a shirt ready for comps that would be a subtle shout out to the FORT if I could do it without them figuring it out because then they'd probably take it away. It would probably have my nickname stacerace (pronounced stacey-racey BTW in case anyone ever wondered ) on it. If anyone asked I would just tell them that it's my sister's nickname for me since we were kids since that's the truth.

the little duffel bag is like their "carry on". They pack a large suitcase or two and then give that to producers probably the day before they go into the house. They have their duffel bag for their last nights clothes and sundries. Remember as they are on the block they pack their bags and put them into the storage room.

The premise (or at least the title) of Big Brother is based on 1984, not Animal Farm. Animal Farm is an allegory on the Russian Revolution and the emergence of Russian communism.

I'm sure they have already "pre-packed" beforehand, but I would still use that hour to double-check things and stock up as much as I can.

They don't allow books (darn it) except for the Bible or Koran but hey, Chima was using
a dictionary this season. The only thing about packing ahead of time is you'd want to
use some of those clothes in your everyday life, no? Great topic, tap!

Great excuse to go shopping!

[momrek06]

I have a question...does anyone know what BB allows...I mean is there a BB standard packing list?

TIA!

[Refil3d]

They allow basically everything I think except books, electronic devices (cell phones, ipods, etc.) idk, i think that's all.
I mean they allow cigarettes, and all... :|
