After last nights show I really don't like Alex. In the Feb 20th show thread there is discussion that some feel he was edited unfairly.

For me, even if he was edited unfairly, the portions they did show were just wrong. His name calling to Amanda and then telling her that since she wasn't interested in him that they shouldn't be physcial with anyone. In other words, if I can't have you, no one can. (My opinion.)

Please let me know if you watch the feeds what you saw Alex say or do that might 'redeem' him? I can't think of anything myself.

Miz, I was actually asking around for a reason to DISlike Alex a few days ago, I knew there would be one if he was thrown in with this crowd. I got one on last night's show.

Huh. I haven't seen the show from last night yet, but I initially liked Alex, thought he was the smartest of the bunch (which really isn't saying much!).

I'll be interested to see what I think AFTER I watch my tape of last nights show. I don't have the live feeds, so only have this board and the shows to base my opinion on.

I don't necessarily think it's jealousy why Alex doesn't want Amanda to get "physical" with anyone else. I think he also wants her head to be in the game, and she is HIS partner. It makes no sense to me to be paired up to compete for $500K and then to totally ignore that pairing and go after someone you can boink after the show ends.

I agree with Costacat (no surprise there is there?). I think Alex was edited very unfairly last night and I also think him insisting that Amanda stay "faithful" to their partnership was more about not causing any tension in the house. Besides, if they start fooling around with another "partner," it will cause them to be targeted. Staying neutral would be, IMO, the best policy.

I agree Alex's opinions were very dated and selfish. The mis-edit I thought was because from this show it seemed like Alex and Amanda had never got on, but she had been very physical towards him in bed on previous nights. Very tempting, shall I say, for him, sleeping just in bra and panties and letting him undo her bra, even though because it was a sports bra him undoing it didn't make much difference. My beef with the editing was that it made it seem like Alex was after her and it was not reciprocated at all, whereas in the first few days it was reciprocated.

LOL Roxip! Exactly... if the Jen and Ryan have targets on their backs now, how much of a target would Amanda have once she hooks up with Parker (assuming, of course, that he stays). Stay faithful until you get your butt kicked out and you're meeting Julie Chen. THEN go after the others! :-)

That is what I thought, Costa. I just think maybe his approach to her wasn't the best. (calling her a sl*t) He probably sees Amanda as a hard person to sort of "reign in" and be focused.

Also don't forget HER gigantic ego. She thinks that she's in a looooo-oooove triangle with Parker and Alex. His approach probably wasn't the best, but if she stopped to think about it, she'd realize he's right. Instead what does she do? She goes downstairs and immediately starts blabbing about what Alex said.

What's even more frightening is that neither Chelsia nor Parker thought thru about WHY Alex would want her to be faithful to him (Alex). Duh meet duh-er!

I'd love to hear more live-feed watchers take on Alex.

I want to like him. He's the best eye candy in the house and he's smart. And did I say cute? :-) But I'm not sure what to make of last nights show.

It is interesting to hear that Amanda was flirty and physical with him and has now turned toward Parker. They show didn't allude to that at all. No wonder Alex is hurt, jealous, etc. He liked her and she's just running around to other guys to get attention. Personally, I don't really care for her, so to see him pull back from her is okay with me.

however, I couldn't tell if I thought he was being jealous and intentionally stirring the pot, or if he was just honestly hurt. I also couldn't tell if his "I don't want to snuggle with you" thing was meant to be manipulative? Or if he's just protecting his heart -- not wanting to get involved with a person who's running off with the guy who will give her the most attention.

So, live feeders. What is your impression of Alex?

Amanda definitely speaks before she thinks.
Even about the fight with Parker and James. Alex DID name James and instead of talking about it - Amanda did the same thing, went blabbing to Parker. Yelling through the whole house about knowing each other.

"If" Alex was telling Amanda to not by "physical" with anyone else for game strategy why didn't he say that? Bring in the words for the game, same with when he was yelling at her dressing like a ect.

To me it sounded like a rejected lover, nothing to do with game play.

Now I regress, I do not have the live feeds, so if he said it in reference to the game, please enlighten me.

I don't think Alex's edit was misleading at all.

My feeling is that Alex is a very controlling fellow. He and Amanda took a bath together early on in their HOH reign. He wanted her to take her clothes off and she didn't want to. He didn't like that too much.

I was watching the feeds the night of the "physical" incident. I transcribed it in LFP. I was halfheartedly watching when I heard her say "whoa..." and then I tuned into it and transcribed it. Someone in another thread asked me what my gut feeling about it was and I'll repeat it here: Alex was jealous of the attention she was giving Parker. He made a move on her and was shut down. I feel that both he and Matt wanted the "notches on the bedpost" and when he didn't get one (knowing Matt already had) he became a man scorned and is now out to make Amanda look bad.

He is extremely condescending to her. Downright rude. Who is he to tell her how to dress or who she should/should not talk to. Yes, they are partners and she is working with him. But he refuses to listen to any of her ideas and instead demands that she do as he says.

Bottom line for me: Alex's edit was fair.

My thought on Alex after last night's show is that he's the kind of guy who doesn't get rejected. Women just kind of fall at his feet if he pays them attention. So to have Amanda run off to another guy after he's indicated he's interested in her, is just a huge ego blow and a slap in the face. And for that Amanda must pay, so he'll say degrading things to her about how she dresses (which I happen to agree with, but the way he says it isn't so nice) and he'll do things to hurt her (like tell her he won't be cuddly) etc.

But since I don't get the live feeds I'm barely getting a glimpse of what these two are really like.

As long as Alex stays on my feeds for the duration of BB9 they can edit him anyway they please. Watching Alex cook, clean, workout, and flashing his sexy abs is just hot hot hot!

Let me know after you get a good earful of it, will you?
It really bugs me...makes him way less attractive.

If you've been watching him a lot on feeds I'm really surprised you haven't heard it. He was doing it with Amanda last night in bed for a long time.

I like Alex too... but I agree, that baby voice is really creepy.

And personally, I felt bad for him after the editing of last night's show. Like others have said, they made it seem as if she didn't reciprocate at all, which is untrue.

His behavior with amanda almost seems stalkerish - but since its more aligned with game play - I dont want it to sound too harsh - but its just well he comes across as trying to be controlling, maybe he's just too Type A for my tastes... but there's something about him that just doesnt seem ... "nice"...

Beekind - I'm on the east coast so I only read updates and catch youtubes of the late night stuff. Having said that most of my Alex love is based on watching the feeds between 8-12 EST/5-9 BBT. I can barely make it through the first hour of BBAD most nights.

oh he's just mad because she has one of the biggest mouths in the place.

Feeding all of their info down to parker and vocalizing to everyone she sits down with.

Alex is angry with her but that edit was a little slanted

There was more to the convos. BB had told them they were supposed to pretend that they WERE a couple. From what I understood, the couples were supposed to cuddle in bed even. WHat was shown on the show was part of the "script" in my opinion. CAUSE he sure didnt say stuff like that to any of his buddies, and they TALK!!

instead, Amanda is elsewhere goofing off with someone else.

HUGE TARGET on Amanda and Alex...due to HER behaviour, the way she was wearing almost no clothes and doing inappropriate behaviour etc

Everything I've seen about amanda leads me to think she is fabricating her 'attack'by alex and that has made him even more disgusted with her.

the poor guy is stuck in the game with someone who seems unstable.

Alex knows he's screwed big time (thanks to Amanda) if any couple other than Matt and Natalie wins HoH tonight.
