Eddieluver | Sunday, August 13, 2000 - 06:39 am  Hip Hip Horray for Eddie! Also, for all of you out there that think he's a drunk! *rolls her eyes* He didn't drink one drop last night! Just when "some" people think that they have him pinned down he does something totally different. Eddie is da best! I also like Curt so much more now. He is so cute and funny. His intelligence to notice Jamie's crap has not sunk in yet. I think these people will do that though once Karen is gone. The trouble is out the door now who's the true backstabber? *grins* |
Alfredo | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 08:42 am  I don't think Eddie voted for Curtis in round two because of George, at least not in the way that everyone seems to think. After Jordan, Jamie and Curtis were next on his list. By telling George that he just changed his vote as a result of what G said, he firmed up his alliance, eliminating G as a possible nomination vote. All he did was switch the order of his next two nominees -- if even that. I think he will nominate these two again next week, unless something out of the ordinary happens... okay, so *everything* in there is out of the ordinary, but you know what I mean, don't you? |
Adige | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 09:22 pm  Now I see why Cass stays away from Eddie. Every other word out of his mouth is |

Bigbastard | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 09:30 pm  They Love Eddie - They hate Eddie - Eddie is funny - Eddie is racist. I'm more confused than a 100 blind Les-bians in a tuna fish factory.... |
Adige | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 09:47 pm  Hmmm he really gave a nice speech to Cass at the roast. hmmm? |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 09:48 pm  I think Eddie will continue to vote for Jamie, as she is the best at the game as far as he's concerned (at least he's aware that she's there to win, and he is too). Go after your strongest opponent, and hope for the best from the phone calls. They all (with one exception) have a big "hate group" and a big "love" group. Cass is the only one who doesn't have anyone saying negative things about her. And she's not even "playing". She's being herself, and not paying attention to what the others are doing. If someone askes her opinion, she gives it. Doesn't matter if they are on the block or not. Her class and being centered within her surroundings makes her the most unique of the players. |
Femmef8l | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 10:44 pm  I suppose I am going to be the only one who thought BigGrandmother - "No one has the balls to tell a joke about Nig**rs." Was the most sickening post I have read yet? How in the hell did no one hear what I just heard? "... No one had the balls...?" What the ? How bout, I'm glad those Klans have the guts to burn crosses in people's lawns -- God knows everyone else wants to. People please. To gloss over that statement .......... Nevermind. This is futile. If you don't get it -- then I surely can't explain it to you. And Eddieluver, please tell me what the HELL Eddie living in NY has to do with his Nig**r joke? Oh, that makes it okay? I wonder if you would be so accepting if Will had made some joke about White people being Devils? After all, he is from Philly. And you know those blacks in Philly are just that way. Palease. I am sick now. No cheers |
Femmef8l | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 10:47 pm  Oh by the way Grandmother, that wasn't guts, that was flagrant. Guts would be to say it in front of Cass or Will. |
Nina | Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 11:01 am  I have a question for anyone who was watching the live feeds last night around 9:30p.m. or so. Was Eddie being at all serious when he was saying all of those bad things about Upstate NY? I know that the joke was an attempt at humor but the rest of what he said is what I am curious about. Does he actually believe that the whole area of Upstate NY is "hillbilly land"? |
Janine | Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 11:16 am  Nina..as a New Yorker..yes I believe he was being serious. When you go to Upstate being from New York it's total culture shock and total country!!! It's a completely different experience from the City. Plus...you don't see much diversity upstate and people look at u funny and treat you different if you are obviously from the city. |
Nina | Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 11:29 am  Janine, as a person from the Albany area (obviously Upstate) I am in shock!! There is as much diversity from town to town and city to city in Upstate NY as there is in any other state. For instance to go from Albany to Lake George you will see everything from tourist towns to urban areas to highclass suburbs to poor farm towns. Someone from NYC doesn't look or seem a whole lot different to me than the people that I see every day. |
Janine | Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 11:32 am  Well Nina my sister went to a SUNY in upstate....where the only movie theatre was at the WalMart and let me tell you.....it was just as bad as the times I've been to hick towns down south. |
Nina | Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 11:41 am  Maybe everyone that defended Eddie's 'insensitivity' by saying that it was just because he was a NYer was right on target... |
Alfredo | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 07:50 am  Yeah, Nina -- I'll take a "hick town down south" over an overcrowded urban cesspool any day. |
Adamblast | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 08:36 am  Femme -- You were angry because so few people responded to a certain post you found offensive? A) Many, many message boards have racists and bigots, and it is usually unproductive to address them. Feel free to try; but don't berate everyone else over it. An anonymous person is not easy to educate, even if they're interested--which they NEVER are... B) SARCASM is one of the message board addicts's most enjoyable weapons. Nothing is as fun as writing a post cleverly enough so that half the people will think you mean one thing, when the more sophisticated half understand that you mean just the opposite. In this case, I didn't respond because I couldn't tell WHICH intent the poster had. They linked to an article which showed Eddie's comments in a BAD light, not a good one, after all... In short, don't be so sure that you understand everyone's motives, on this or any other board. How sanctimonious. |
Femmef8l | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 03:53 pm  AdamBlast: Thank you. I will keep that in mind. My momma always told me to take the red botton off my shirt. LOL Dayum. I am finally getting what she meant. Gotcha. |
Biggrandmother | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 09:08 pm  Femme & Adam-- Adam--ho, boy, what a treatsie! Very smartly written...though I guess I'm a little sad that someone who is evidently as sophisticated as you are couldn't figure out my intent. I'll go back and sharpen my "most enjoyable weapon" a bit, so that next time my aim will be clearer. Just a little more target practice and I'll be set. ; ) Nice post. Femme--sorry to add to your dismay, dear. I've been checking back up on this post to determine if my intent was understood...I'll sharpen my skewers for the next round. ; ) I actually really do love Eddie, though. I just love the whole 'who give a sh**" attitude. And I admire Eddie's chutzpah. But the second I understood he'd made racist jokes...that just kind of killed everything for me. You know, you want a kid to have some spirit, but without hurting his neighbors. Bottom line--Eddie has disappointed me, a disappointment made even more palpable by my initial affection for him. As soon as he comes up, I'm spending good cat food money to vote his butt off. He deserves it. We've just entered the 21st century...he shouldn't be telling jokes more appropriate left in the 19th. |
Flint | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 11:44 pm  Nina; Upstate NY. * Flint makes a disdainful sound a la Side Show Bob from the Simpson's* Janine; Having lived in Upstate NY *cough* for a short period in my life, it isn't that they look at people from NYC differently. They tend to despise NYC because they feel it is what people think of when they think of NY. Not the state and the differences you can find in it. Rather, they feel it paints them with the obnoxiousness that NYC is know for. Not to even get into the drain on their local economies to send state funding to NYC. |
Wendy | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 01:13 am  Because I know nothing about upstate NY, so I'll stay out of that discussion. Femme: For the love of God, would you give it a rest already? About Eddie and what comes out of his mouth: There was one time when he was talking to Britt (was it on the show?) when she says, "I'm confused. You say one thing then you say another." And he said something like, "I purposely say one thing then another and you have to figure out what is true and what isn't." I think that's Eddie in a nutshell--it's all about a haphazard "strategy". He's also said positive things about Canada and then said negative things. So, he contradicts himself often, so what? Don't you guys change your opinions about things based on your moods? The guy is still YOUNG and IMMATURE. We're talking about a guy who I just heard say on the feeds, "I could scratch my ass for an hour." Give the guy a break!!!! P.S: Hey Nina!!!!! |
Losty02 | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 01:17 am  Flint I'm begining to think its the same all over. I moved from a large city to a small town. When I lived in the city I felt that stoping in a small town was like taking journey in time machine. I couldn't believe how backward those peole were. Now I live in one of those towns and hear every day about those city fools that think the know it all. MY favorite Eddie lines for the day. 1.Jamie was upset because BB revealed her vote for Karen. "What am I going to do? I just don't trust them anymore" Jamie said. "If I were you, I would take all my clothes off" Eddie replied. 2. Brit was telling Eddie 3 things she didn't like about him in todays challenge. "I hate it when you insult me and then say your sorry" Brit said. "I understand Brit. I'll stop saying I'm sorry" Eddie replied. Love him-Hate him-You can't ignore him. |
Wendy | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 01:19 am  Thanks for sharing Losty, I can't believe I missed that. |
Nina | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 05:53 am  Flint, you're scaring me! Do ALL of you from downstate feel that way about us??? I've spent my whole life in various areas of the capital region and the Adirondacks and have not noticed many anti-NYC sentiments. It is absolutely not the prevailing attitude here. Anyway, I won't let Eddie's comments change my vote. There was a time when I tried to fit people into neat categories too (though I was WELL over that by the age of 21.) since that makes the world so much easier to understand without an effort. I am not insulting him, he is still my favorite HG, BUT I think that stereotypes are just a cop-out. Wendy, I'm still here though you would hardly know it... and check your freakin' email, lady! |
Mvm522 | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 09:07 am  why is it that the general consensus with mega was that he is a racist, yet not everyone see's or wants to see that Eddie is a racist. Eddie is low-life, with no brain. Wake up everyone!!!! The first time Eddie comes up for the boot, the black community as well as white people like myself who don't tolerate "People like Eddie" should vote his butt out!!!! |
Femmef8l | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 09:28 am  Bravo MVm522, it is hard making a point when people are racially bias and when I am out numbered. |
