Who did a major flip-flop as the show progressed?
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:35 pm  I know *I* did....which surprised me since I tend to be a stubborn and opinionated individual. I was totally rooting for George until the failed Great Hamster Rebellion, then I got more and more fed up. I spent about $12 to help oust him....but I was really happy when he got the scholarship for his daughter. At the beginning of the show, I couldn't stand Jamie at all, but came to like her a lot as the show moved along. I eventually wished to see her in the top three. Eddie's homophobic remarks worked my nerves and kept me from liking him at all (even a little bit!)....until I wrote to his family from his website and got an answer from his cousin Nancy Jane who told me that he had a gay cousin who he was "close to and wouldn't hurt for the world". I decided to give him the benfit of the doubt, although I still believe that no matter how he feels, his words can be dangerous when heard by unthinking homophobes and women haters. I wanted him booted until about three weeks ago and now I don't mind him being in the final three at all. Curtis never made much of an impression at all until he cried after Britt left....the way he handled his nominations earned my respect as well. Britt was a nuisance at first but I grew to love her, still miss her! Since she isn't getting any big $, I'm glad she seems to be gaining a foothold in Hollywood! My opinions of Karen, Cass, Will and Jordan remained pretty consistent. Karen struck a strong sympathetic chord with me for some reason. Cassandra had my respect and admiration from the start, just as Will and Jordan had my ire from the start. I liked Josh right off the bat and still do...he has always been honest and caring, even if he is still young and has a lot to learn. So...at the start I was for George, Karen and Josh in that order....but after all was said and done, I wound up *wanting* Josh, Curtis and Jamie (in that order) but have found that I am now quite happy with Eddie being in the final three (even getting the 500K)....and whatever order it ends up I will be happy! :-) Just wondering if anyone else did an "about face" on the HG too....? |
Bigbrofan | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:48 pm  OK I'll give each HG my first impressions and my current impressions: Mega: First impression was that he was a blunt man and would probably be out fast. I figured he'd be to confrontational and many wouldn't understand him. I didn't vote in his banishment but wouldn't have voted for him. I think he's probably got a good heart. I see him as I see Eddie: a lot of tough talk but deep down has a good heart. Brittany: I'll be honest. My first impression was OK this girl is a little weird. And I was right! But I came to love her and was terribly upset when she was banished. I was amazed at how she walked out smiling and am still impressed with her. I just like her a lot. Eddie: I liked him from the beginning. His mouth has done him in for me. He's a lot like Mega but people still love him for some reason. I know he's a nice guy, I just think he needs to learn to not be so over the top. I'm glad he'll be getting money though. Karen: Was one of my favorites. I could completely appreciate her wanting to be on the show. I didn't have a huge problem with her discussing her marriage. I didn't like the fact she called her husband abusive, but I never hated her. I'm happy she's started a new life and hope to see her on the Food Network or something. She deserves something for baring her soul to us. Curtis: I thought he was very boring and wouldn't last long. Now that the house is emptier and I've been able to see him more I think he's a great guy. I'm also very glad he'll be getting money. He deserves it. He's really opened up over the past 3 months which has been a BLAST to watch. Plus he's like really hot! Jordan- Probably the HG most like myself. I didn't vote her off and wish she would've stayed longer. I would go crazy being cooped up in a house. No I haven't ever been a stripper, at least not publicly! LOL She's honest like myself, strong, and opinionated. I think out of all the HG's reputation wise she got a raw deal. I firmly believe there's far more to Jordan that what we were shown. George: Another person I loved at the beginning. After a while I grew tired of him. When he was banished I was glad because I didn't want anyone else to go. However, I'm VERY happy his daughter received a scholarship and he seems to be doing well. He seems like he's been a great Dad and I hope he gets something from his experience career wise. Cassandra: Loved her from day one, still love her. I hope she writes a book about BB. I would LOVE to read it. She's just a classy, intelligent, and lovely lady. What more is there to say? Josh: First and foremost he's the HG that made me laugh the most. Tonight when he danced on the show I laughed harder than I have at this show! He was great. I think Josh is a misunderstood young man. He seems very bright and very talented. I hope he goes FAR. (calvin klein underwear model for sure!) I also think it would be great if he and Brittany got together. Jamie: What can I say? She's the HG that remains a mystery to me. I can't say much because I feel she wasn't true to herself in the house. She was camera and image conscious at all times. I think she must be bright and have a lot deeper feelings that she showed us. It's disappointing she didn't give more of herself. I do wish her well though. I wish them all well and thank all of you for this awesome board. I will belong to this board forever. It's the best message board I've ever been on. It's been a great experience. We've all laughed, yelled, and cried together for months and I hope there's more to come. This was long but thanks for letting me share! |
Avalonsparks | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:03 am  Bigbrofan - You and I are so on the same page it's uncanny. I couldn't have said it better. Although Karen was by no means my favorite. Curtis, Josh and Eddie were my favorites... but I still can't make up my mind who I like best of those three. |
Big_Al | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:15 am  And how about Julie? Did anybody do a flip-flop on her as well? |
Bigbrofan | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:34 am  Avalonsparks- Karen wasn't my favorite at the end but during the first episode I kept saying I hoped she would win. I suppose it was the whole Mom thing. Her behavior was disappointing though. I didn't hate her but I would have never picked her to win after a few weeks of seeing her on the show. As for Julie Chen. I've felt sorry for her from the beginning. I've read a few articles saying she's disappointed with the script she's given to work with. I think her hands are tied. I think I'm in the minority when I say I'm glad she's been easy on the banished HG's. They need some time to adjust and regroup. I wouldn't mind seeing her a little tougher during the Early Show interviews but I don't hate her. I think she's done a good job and wouldn't mind seeing her back for the next round. |
Remus | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 04:14 am  I ended up Likeing George more as everyone started to hate him. I thought he was an annoying goofball, until the banners and haters started piling on. Other than that...I always liked Eddie. |
Lazzarus50 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 04:57 am  Bigbrofan: I agree with you on Julie Chen. I think my impression of her started to change for the better on the George banishment interview. To me she was really stiff, but started to liighten up and ad lib(improvise) a little more since then. Plus I caught her interviews on the Dan and Scott show at eyada.com and was impressed how relaxed she was in her conversations. |
Jenhavins | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 06:45 am  My opinion on Julie Chen changed after about the 5th live show and the article in People magazine. She is a fine journalist and I believe she does a great job considering all the flack she has received. |
Therlin | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:14 am  Curtis got on my bad side right from the first time I saw him during his bio on the first show. But I started liking him after he got nominated the firs time. Slowly he has been growing on me and now he cracks me up and I hope he leaves with at least $100K |
Nishy | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:34 am  Jamie once did a gymnastic flippy thing. george flopped on the shower floor once, as did Eddie. Ohhhh... isn't that what you meant? |
Kara | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 04:47 pm  Initially I did not care for Brittany or Will. I started to like Brittany about a week before she was nominated for banishment. I never warmed up to Will. Liked Karen and George at first - stopped liking both Karen and George after they were nominated for banishent. Always liked Curtis and Cassandra. I am lukewarm, and have stayed that way towards Jamie, Josh, and Jodan. With Eddie it has been up and down. Sometimes I like him and other times he totally annoys me. |
