lane played a great game, and he made sincere friendship with people. Urban Legend or fact - who cares!!! it' is about his game play. if you were to say that the brigade sat in the closet while he rode brit for 8 seconds that would be different, if he was punching another HG in the face until their nose bled that would be different but that's not what is being discussed. The man/boy that is in the house is a quiet person, who genuinely cares for his friends, he showed Brit a huge amount of respect even though he adores her and would probably have loved to hook up with her. He knew she had a boyfriend so he respected her space so she wouldn't jeopardize her relationship with B/F. That is who we should be "judging" if we want to judge what he was like before he entered the house we would have to live in texas and find out. I don't like when HG get scrutinized for their previous lives... it's not fair to them..... who here has never done anything stupid in High school or university! Whether or not we talk about it after the fact does not mean we are still that person. I think lane has proven he is not that person in the house.

The TV version of the show is hunky-dory. But some of the stuff that is reported by the feed-watchers who are kind enough to keep us apprised, is very troubling and worthy of discussion, regardless of whether it's a disgusting fact, a hampster's naughty fantasy, or a weird urban legend. IMHO To be honest, going only by CBS's version of Lane, he'd be one of my faves. But judging by the goings-on relayed by the feed-watchers, I'm sorry but I personally cannot deem this guy worthy of half a million dollars. But hey, Adam won recently and he's no Boy Scout either. Last I heard he was in jail.

Transcripts do not give the full essence of the actual conversation. Watch the flashback posted in the first post of this thread. I suggest a minute earlier. Ignorance and decency are different.

The fact that he told that story, assuming it would impress the others, is disgusting whether he actually did it or not.

Lane is 24 years old. Lane likes people to think he is a tough guy. Lane is not the brightest guy. Lane says some things about himself that would make most older people cringe. As a guy Lane is going to say some really raw stuff to other guys and he is not thinking about being on the internet after all these weeks being on a show where the DR sessions are so obviously scripted. This season has been very dull from a feed watchers point of view. Truthfully I don't pay attention when the guys are sitting around BSing. It's usually about sports or hunting or women and I'm not interested in their conversations. Some people do listen to them. Some people enjoy the guy talk. Some people are listening for that one nugget of dirt that they can repeat to their friends while adding their own spin to it.<Self moderated to save time> I just think that these dudes talk crap and that what they claim to have done is nothing but hearsay and until someone from their real life comes forward and verifies these claims it's all just B.S.

Most people believe spam and urban legends. Lane isn't that kind of person...he likes to joke around and if one believes it, then the joke is even funnier...btw I'm older and even I am not cringing.

Excuse me, I heard him myself. I still think he told it as a personal experience. Mummy, you know we go way back to the Thread Killer day even though now you are in my eyes the super hero who sustains threads!! But I have to tell you, have been around lots of yougens IRL, I really got the feeling that Lane was NOT JOKING. It is an Urban Legend being repeated as jokes AND being put to action in college dorms. Remember, at the beginning of the sexual act the girl was welling, but the second she tries to get away and was held down, it is considered rape in the eyes of the law!! She could change her mind for whatever reason. It could have been the other boys busting in OR it could have been the guy turning violent. A woman should have that much of a choice no matter what age they are or what age the partners are! <<Just yesterday, CNN HLN&V reported how the stats has it that every one out of four college girls would be raped before they finished the four-year collge!! You can chuck ME as a crazed mom with two girls in college, but it's reported as a legit news.>> The other two boys didn't think too much of it at the time. But I see Enzo as a one with "special kind of mind frame" and Hayden as "playing the game". They won't say a crossed word towards Lane at this point. But you can bet your bottom dollar how Hayden would have something else to say about that convo later on. Enzo actually did raise his eye brow sorta speak. Hayden was his usual schmoozing self. Brit was just out of it. She's never going to rock the boat where Lane is concerned. Plus I have always agree with her when she calls herself the mean girl. I think it's fair that Mods change the title of the thread but I hope I am still allowed to express my point of view on this Lane's own grave-digging!

Urban legends are believed...which is why they hit my email every day...I just delete them because I know they aren't true.

I doubt Lane would have as many friends back home and fans if he were that kind of person.

I heard Land tell the story... I didn't think he was telling it to impress anyone... and I don't think he was telling it as if it would be something he would actually do... I also have heard lane refer to his dog in a very warm manner... I don't think he would hurt him. But boxers are strong muscular dogs... gentle taps they probably don't feel... A good strong wrestle session is probably in order... I would be very shocked if Lane abused his beloved Tucker.

Chy, Ya know I love ya. I see Lane's demeaner, presentation, delivery of the story differently than you and some others do. I have watched and rewatched the flashback. It wasn't a new story to Hayden or Brit. It is a very old story. Urban legends are most effective when told in the first person. If this urban legend was being played out in colleges across the country, the specifics of the story would be wide spread. I do share your concern about college aged girls, all women. And I love to read your point of view even when we do not agree. You always teach me something. I am not a Texan, born and raised in Michigan....I can just smell the BS in the delivery of the story, and see that the others in the house don't believe it either. It took Enzo a bit longer, but even he knew it was BS. Of course it doesn't hurt that I heard this urban legend 30 years ago. This moment in the BB house is like a traffic accident or crime scene....the witnesses see different things.

Exactly, Mummy...that is exactly how people tell a lot of jokes...in fact, my husband tells them in first person, just to get the people believing and then says the punch line and then the gasps or laughter happens...and some are actually gullible enough to believe that my hubby was telling the truth...it's unbelievable.

Bbnut, for me the best jokes are when I am sucked in until the very end. Unfortunately Lane's story didn't have a punch line. The BS was harder to smell.

I must be the only one that found his 8 second story funny. I LMAO when he said it. I don't see it as rape and maybe the next time the girl will think twice about sleeping with a guy she just met.

There have been many things said this season by Lane that have been upsetting for some people. I have gone back to flashback many times to try and get to the bottom of some of these comments. They are almost always exaggerated when retold. It has been like taking statements at a crime scene in that everyone sees what they see and they will not have their mind changed later.

Men can be pigs, this is not new. Lane is not my type. He seems to have that frat boy mentality I hate, but I don't think he is a monster.

I spent my first fifteen months ever in the good USA as a Cougar, U of H, a scholar-shipped Band player. I met plenty of wonderful music majored Texan boys. But being a Brass player, I was also around a lot of Beer chugging, loud mouthed, girl-grabbing rude ones. I wasn't that fluent in English back then, but I know I am grateful I had four build-in body guards from my Brass Quintet! I was very inquisitive of things happening around me, and being young, sorta cute and unusual(you dint see any Brass player from Taiwan in those days), boys around me patiently explained every details to me. FF to today, I have girls only myself. Somehow my house is the magnet to kids, mostly girls and gay boys and girls. ( I sub as music teacher in City schools and work at the Campus Church SU in town.) Believe me I've heard it all. I only give advice when solicited, but I have been hinting the parents or schools. My own girls had encountered unwanted sexual moves since 12. I was lucky they were equipped with knowledge of such .... These could be reasons why I'm feeling rather strongly about Lane's casual talks like this. I won't be doing anything to Lane about this, but I refuse to think of it as a joke. I will keep informing kids around me about stuff and people like this existing. And I will continue the hope that Lane will never win the big bucks, just as hard as I'll try to forget the Bras and this crappy season!

I'm not quite sure why y'all keep referencing Lane's "8 seconds game" as an urban legend. Whether or not he is telling the truth remains to be scene, but it is not an urban legend. The Lochness Monster or Big Foot are urban legends.
