Curtis is great. I especially liked his rundown of what happened on his trip to the emmies. He was so full of info and so giving to the rest of the hg's. He paints good pictures (verbally visual stuff). He must have been dead tired and still gave his all. I love the way he looks with the hat on. But he did jump on the George bandwagon on Sat. pretty fast. And the silly guy for liking Jamie but like Alfredo says "what are his choices".

Didn't want this thread to fall off the board.

I don't think this made it into the live feeds, but today, during lunch clean up:

George - "I think I'll dig the garden up after lunch."

Curtis - [in an aside to Cass] "I guess the entertainment value outweighs any sustenance at this point."

If Cass goes tomorrow, who is going to catch Curtis' asides?

Yankee, I agree with you. At the start of this show, I thought Curtis was going to be one of those very neutral, boring types. He is still neutral (said as a compliment) but he's not so boring at all. You are right when you say that Britt encouraged Curt to open up. If there is one friendship that I'm counting on to have been genuine in this show, it's the one between Britt and Curt. Their different personalities have helped to compliment each other. It'd be heartwarming to learn that they continue their friendship into the future for a long time.

Curtis rules...no banners for Curtis. I am afraid to bring to much attention to Teresa and the Rockford gang.

Yes I like Curtis. He one of the few real people in the house. I just heard something watching the live feed. Everyone was out in the yard looking up at the plane banner in favor of Curtis. ---Curtis, America's newest heart throb--- The thing I heard was George saying something about Curtis leaving tonight. If that is the case and in fact Curtis does and I pray to God it is not, THEN WHEN GEORGE WAS HAVING HIS LITTLE TALK A DAY OR TWO AGO WITH CASSANDRA Is TRUE. He told Cassandra not to worry because she would not be the one to leave because he knew and his plan was working.????????????????????. If Curtis leave's you can be sure there will be some kind of backlash.

earlier, while curtis was packing, he took out what appeared to be a yellow folded paper or hankerchief out of his suitcase (not sure what it is or where he put it).

after the show, i saw him unpack...he took the 'thing' out of his pocket and put it back in his suitcase.

does anyone have a clue what this was?

What happened to Curtis's allergy to dogs? I hear
him now saying that he would like to take Pugita
home with him, he is now playing with her all the
time, and he really cares about her. He really is
a super guy. Compare him to Eddie, if you can.
In the beginning of the show, I felt that Curtis
was as dull and boring as watching paint dry, but
as the weeks have gone on and I read these threads
and watch the internet feeds, I find him to be
exceptionally witty, bright, decent, honest, and
very true to his heritage which was probably in-
stilled into him from birth. I could just picture him taking Jamie home to meet his folks,
it would be like taking Monica Lewinsky home, and
what mother would like to see her son walk in the door with her. Haven't heard her name for awhile.

I've been a fan of Curtis' from early on and he's been the most straightforward and honest hg as one could find. He's called them like he sees'em, he shows his emotions as he has em (i.e. sorrow after Brittany's departure) and he's got a quick wit to boot. But ... I just don't see him winning it all in the end. Does he have a real passionate following?

On a separate note, nor do I see Jamie taking any real (other than plutonic) interest in him. Just out of curiosity, do any females view him in a light other than just a dependable pal/good son perspective?

curtisfan, well I'd say he was definitely not the "dependable pal/good son" in the dream I had the other night. :)

I know the AOL popularity poll doesn't mean anything but today it shows that Curtis has 32%. Remember in the beginning he was the least popular one among all HGs? Silly me but I'm still happy about today's result. At least I don't have to live with George's 56%!

I've been a Curtis fan since the first one-liners I heard him say, but had to spend the first 1 1/2 months holding my breath and hoping he wouldn't get voted out before the "public" "discovered" him.
Last night when suggested that they talk about the banners and what they're feeling caused my respect to go up yet one more notch.
And yes, I could definitely feel something more than platonic for him. Not a hunk, but easy to love none the less.

Now that I've heard a small portion of what his singing will be like ... I want MORE!
(As for the rest of him...I've wanted THAT from the beginning ... hehehe)

There will be other favorite topics and fan folders being moved over here this evening. I was tired last night and just wanted to get things started.

From Iron Chef (copied from another thread, thought it would be great to have it here, too).

Just going by outside accomplishments, Curtis's resume is hard to beat. He's a well-rounded person, multi-accomplished, multi-talented, multi-faceted. Inside the house, he's proven to be every bit as personable, as he is intelligent,reasonable and mature. I've been very impressed by his constant good-naturedness, his hard daily work ethic as to chores and challenges, and his being one of the very few to actually get along with all the HGs. He's been a steady and constant presence in the house, opting to make the most of his
time in the house and soak up every moment, unlike some who tend to disappear for massive stretches of time. Meaning, he actually put an effort into getting to know his HGs through conversation and activities. This is probably due to his inquisitive nature, his need to know things. But to his credit, he's also been just as open in letting the HGs get to know him to the extent each of them wished to. He set the standard early on handling being nominated with class and perfect comportment, and also putting whiny Jordan
in her place while nominated together and by withstanding being shat upon by Karen later on.

He's remained a cheery presence among a house full of sulkers, hiders and sympathy-seekers, showing best how to suck up and deal by fully participating in everything from dawn barbecues to spades to tossing the ball around (though rather poorly) to intelligent conversations to sing-a-longs to pooltime to farting contests, no matter how he personally felt due to being
nominated, being accused of voting a certain way, being less than 100% physically due to allergies and lactose intolerance symptoms. He's kept it real as to himself and to us, the viewers, not cheating us with dice rolls or names just popping up or having his vote swayed by another in the middle of the night. Not a hint of ill-will, self-pity, being uptight. Never playing to the
cameras, never self-conscious, never moping or hiding, no pleas of sympathy. His wit is fast and sharp without malice or jealousy or ignorance. He controls his judgment and condescension in instances where all of us have criticized
the others, taking glee in bandwagon mocking.

He doesn't have any sympathy factors working for him. He didn't have the "look" that instantly garners attention and the likeability that comes from familiarity from the general US/Canada audience. His profession probably works
against him for most who are apt to make snap judgments about people based on those things. It certainly works against him for those voting on a charity basis. Curtis has come to the forefront purely on personal merit, his day in and day out actions in the house, and simply just winning people over by being himself. I think he's been the total package on the BB show, and if he were to win the Grand Prize, it would be deserving. He's given the fullest effort to the house as a whole, never working at cross-currents to the others, never working one second on spotlighting himself. His Emmy experience was a wonderful reward. He fully enjoyed it and it was obvious how eager he was to fully share it with everyone else. Is this Richard Hatch-like game playing? Nope. Some people have to work hard on strategy and image-hyping, while others don't. It's certainly no reason to penalize someone because he doesn't break a sweat at being nice and winning over people week to week.

I honestly think he's the best of us and them. He's certainly due the big head and arrogance which he doesn't exhibit. He's not without fault, though on the feeds and in the show, it's been such that one must seriously go out on a limb
to criticize him (eg He's a lawyer, He's a nerd, His laugh is phony, He's cocky since the Emmy's, He's fallen for Jamie, etc). I think any of us would be privileged to have Curtis as a friend. I'm sure all the HGs feel that way. He's enriched this show experience for all them and for all of us.

Suziebird7 & Iron Chef -

I totally concur! Long live Curtis! I will really be bummed if he does not take home the grand prize. He has most defiantly & graciously earned it.

As a fellow lawyer, I am utterly pleased with Curtis' character and integrity. He stands as a shining beacon in the legal profession. I've liked him from the start of BB (no, not because he is a lawyer) and enjoy every "Curtism" he utters. I admire his lightning mind and wit, and hope we get to see more of Curtis after BB ends.

(Hmm, how about a role as Helen Gamble's boyfriend in "The Practice"?) Of course, in that case, his words wouldn't be his own.

I don't know if anyone will even read this but I still cannot believe that OUR CURTIS only received 14% of the votes. I miss him and the show and hope we can find out what happens to him in the future. William Morris have approached George and Brit and Josh and Eddie.....what about Curt? And will he or won't he move in with Brit?
