I'm going to interject here and make a couple of points based on the premise of the thread, re judgment and the BB game/houseguests.
I was interested at Janelle's response to Laremie's question about the difference between how the people are inside the house and how they are outside, since that question has been often argued in discussions.
Janelle said that to her, they were all exactly the same, and gave short shrift to Laremie's fuzzy attempt to bring up editing.
In other words, what you see is what you get, whether under pressure or not. Which seems to support the argument that you can't live inside the house for that length of time without showing your real self.
But, how much do preconceived ideas affect one's judgement? Janelle already has an opinion re each of them, and so perhaps she sees what she expects to see?
Or, those people behave the same way towards her outside the house as they did within the house, because of previous expectations and conditioning?
I came across a quotation earlier in the season which has rumbled in my mind ever since. Jean Paul Sartre said, "Hell is other people," and in the context of the game, I'd hazard a guess that they have all felt that way about each other long before the end of the game, at some point during the game. I confess that each season I've thought that about each crop of HGs.
I almost forgot what my other thought was, oh yes, 'let him who is without sin cast the first stone,' came to mind, which would argue that we be charitable towards these poor incarcerated people, but who's perfect?
None of us, and certainly none of them either, and so we do judge, because pointing out the faults of others is a favourite way to make one's self feel better, and so we also have 'Judge not lest you be judged', and 'Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye?'
Which just goes to show that picking other people apart is a long-standing and deep tradition in humankind, so, should we fight the temptation, or succumb?
I'm with Tobor, it's part of who we are, so let it rip. Why fight one's human instincts?

I'm a little surprised that some people wouldn't stop for a small child who is in considerable danger walking along a highway. We'll also add in the scenario that the child is crying.

By the way, saying I'm surprised isn't meant as a criticism. I just know that I would stop.

With respect to Beruthiel's comments, I agree that call it what we want, we all assess other people and make decisions about them based on that assessment.

Yeah you stop for the small child walking along the highway and then Junebug comes up behind you and puts a gun to your head.

Hmm... me, I think I'll fight the temptation to pick other people apart, character judgement just doesn't come naturally to me, nor ethical. I trust my intuition/instincts/personal experience, whatever, to judge. It is what is right for me. It is not a fight, it's a decision.

I cannot fear Junebug, not on the side of the road, not when I answer the door, not in the parking lot of the grocery store. I have to trust my ability to deal with Junebug anywhere, anytime whether Junebug is wearing a turban and robe, or covered in tattoos and wearing black leather, or a cheerleader outfit and pom poms...!

The only time In my life I've called the cops is when I saw someone who parked their truck down a main sideroad and was now walking towards houses carrying a rifle out of its case. I was on my way to work and when I saw that Rifle I was like OH NO!

Did you ever find out the particulars? Where he was going with the rifle/why? Any major news stories the next day?

LOL Rejectedhamster. Yeah, that would be a really big clue something is going down.

*****
now back to the ever changing scenario, a child? a crying child?

best to stop car, stay in CAR, call the child over and dont get out, dont touch the child and call the police. It could be attempted child abduction or rape assault, you dont want to be wrecking evidence.

worse still, you could end up being a suspect.

Too late... child's already been saved... for dinner... muahahaha

As to your comment on why it was gender, I took it as male only because the majority of the scenarios posted here about roadside behaviour have been based on men... not heard females referenced since the original two rah-rahs.

in a swamp, right behind the houses,is a 'duck hunting' area. right in the middle of a residential area.

I was shocked that it was allowed by the area is owned by Ducks Unlimited so it is probably heavily lobbied for.

((Thank goodness!, i was sure someone was going to 'get it' LOL i live in a rough town))

Have no fear, this will all relate back to the original thread title and how viewers perceive the houseguests...
...and why.
I just need to lay a little more "pipe" that is separated from the highly-charged issues with the houseguests.


Good luck with that ...

For most people it's easier to talk about someone else's shortcomings than it's easier to talk about your own.
