Curtis chokes!
Franny1 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 07:53 am  I think Eddie and Josh have become very close and the rr comments didn't surprise me. I think if Jamie had been in the house Curtis my have named her. Eddie knows the viewers have seen him say he is there for the money, so to name Josh is his way of saying he would like the two of them to place in the top two. Admittedly at the dr table the other night Curtis is not as close to them. I think it is silly to bash anyone for comments made from the heart. They are great guys and even though I'd like to see Eddie get the big bucks I would not be unhappy if one of the others place 1st. |
Big_Al | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:19 am  A common theme among many posters: <Everyone probably expected Curtis to say either Eddie or Josh, as it is considered polite and humble to say someone else deserves the grand prize.> C'mon. If any of you are watching the Olympics, do you really expect to hear Marion Jones, or Michael Johnson, or the American women's soccer team, or the Russian men's gymnastics team, or ANYONE else of the 11,000 athletes say they hope someone other than themselves wins their competition because "it is considered polite and humble to say someone else deserves the grand prize." Is there really a difference in the competitions here? Or could it be that those who say someone else should win the grand prize when they themselves really want to--and are there to--win it are being two-faced and lying? Is that considered polite? And would YOU say that someone else should win the prize that you've been working on for three months to win?? I don't think so--not if you're in touch with reality. |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:21 am  This game, unfortunately, is a public relations game, not a truth game. |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:22 am  Big_Al: ditto...man, it would be hilariously for cbs to name the winner and have the winner hand the money to the person they name in the rr! |
Big_Al | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:23 am  Fortunately, most people are smart enough to figure out which is which. |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:26 am  Big_Al: lots of people based their choice out of emotions, without regards to the past, so im sure last night's episode will have a sever effect on curtis. |
Big_Al | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:39 am  Hopefully the severe effect on Curtis will be a severe increase in his popularity for his honesty and his lack of stupidity that was displayed by the other two. That's my emotion! |
Jade888 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:18 am  Did anyone sleep last night? Just checking! Morning coffee and BB fan club...LOL! |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:23 am  Big_Al: dream on, eddie's got the gold. i was hoping a minority (except will) would win the game but then as ive posted in other threads, curtis just doesnt have the appeal that would captivate typical americans. |
Rpupkin | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:05 pm  Curtis will never be a politician in this country. Apparently, many Americans would rather hear what they want to hear, instead of the truth, which is clearly evident in our political system. I always thought truth should be a key component of good p.r., but now that I think about it, I guess I'm being naive...Apparently, its what you say that is important, not what you mean... |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:07 pm  no minority will be a president in a country like the usa, it will be a big slap to the white community. again, a harsh truth but am sure ill get bashed making this comment. |
Spaz | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:13 pm  I'm not going to read 183 posts, so I'm probably going to repeat something here: What happened to Eddie "keeping it real" as the Eddie luvers have always claimed he did? Does saying Josh should win, "keep it real"? H@ll no it does not!!! I lost any respect I gained for Eddie when he lied to America and said, "Give it to Josh." Curtis didn't want to promote Eddie or Josh, so he chose himself. He was the only person who was honest about the game. It was a stupid question to ask and it was stupid for Josh and Eddie to assume that AMERICA is so dumb that we would believe their humble "I want to give 350,000 dollars to this other guy" plea and give them the money instead. |
Petunia | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:15 pm  As a Curtis fan, I'm happy he said what he did in the RR - it may motivate his fans, that haven't bothered voting, to get off their butts and pick up the phone. He reminded us all that while he's grateful that he's survived several rounds of banishments, he'd still like to win the game. |
Jade888 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:23 pm  Look everyone face it! You have all talked about keeping it "REAL" whatever that means. Curtis keeps it "REAL" and tells the viewing audience that if they feel he deserves to win they hopefully will vote for him to win. When Eddie stated Josh whould win I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. Has Eddie not said he wants to win the money all along? I think when he said to give the money to Josh all of the Eddie fans should now vote for JOSH. He thinks Josh needs the money. SO eddie fans UNITE! VOTE FOR JOSH...EDDIE wants JOSH to have the money. PLEASE give JOSH the money. PLEASE KEEP IT REAL! Resepct what EDDIE has said to all of you his adoring fans... LOL |
Lucinda | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:30 pm  In reference to the actual topic of this thread--Curtis chokes! I did think Curtis choked--he seemed to be (certainly more than either Eddie or Josh) completely taken by surprise by the question. I think if Jamie had not been banished Curtis would have answered "Jamie." Of the three of them, I think Curtis was most affected by Jamie's exit (or maybe Pugita's?). Eddie and Josh performed better--NOT in terms of what they said--I don't think that is such a big deal, honestly--but rather how they said it. Eddie and Josh were both calm and straightforward, and ended with a cute "personal" touch. |
Jade888 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:35 pm  Dorteg: Watch it...my 12 year old wants to be the first Chinese Presdient of the US. (Nah...just kidding) Look I never thought in my lifetime that we would have a Jewish VP (Lieberman)canidate, but face it minorities in this country especially the Asian Americans will be a force to recoken with in the next twenty years. Look at how much money the Clinton's and Gore got from the darn Buddhist temple event...LOL |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:41 pm  Jade888: in business, education, sure why not...anything but the top spot, wouldnt u agree that would be a big slap??? aint got anything against chinese, nor the white community, everybody just needs to protect their interests, very much understandable... |
Jade888 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:51 pm  Dortega: I am optimistic that things are changing but there is certianly still racial barriers in this country. My #3 son since he was 4 years old always said "Hail to the Chief" is his song. When he hears it...he is in his own little world. I want him to have his dreams. He has great role models...his favorite is Steve Case founder of AOL since he goes to the same school that Steve went to. He really believes he can become anything in life he wants to be and sees no color barriers...he'll get it eventually. He always says a kid from Hawaii can do great things for our country and he is that kid. He also loves Bill Gates. |
Aus10 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:54 pm  ***unlurking*** I'm so glad I set a budget for the amount I could spend on BB banishments and up till this very moment have yet to make a call because it's obvious that I agree with the American public. It's gonna take that whole $150 budget however to vote Curtis as #1. Curtis said he'd like to win...not he should win. Big difference. I'm not trying to sway any votes here, but I'd ask everyone to look at themselves if they were in Curtis' position. He knows from their nomination confessions the other night that Eddy and Josh have both nominated him excessively. Would he want them to win....Heck no....but was he polite and curteous in saying he'll be happy for whoever win...Yes! If most of us were being truthful we would want to win and not want those who have put us down to win. Plain and simple. (Unless you were one of those who ran for student body president and was stupid enough to vote for the opposition and lost....why were you running anyway..didn't show much confidence in yourself I'd say). Like I said, I'm not trying to sway votes...if your a Josh fan..vote Josh. If your a Curtis fan..vote Curtis...and Eddie fan...vote Josh. LOL. Now before the Eddie fan's bash me...I always said Eddie was in my top three, but he actually lost ground last night when he said Josh. Up until then I thought he'd made it plain that he was there to win. Now....I'm not so sure. In closing....vote your own way...do not be swayed by propaganda one way or another! ***lurking mode back on*** |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:58 pm  As i've said, i challenge eddie and josh to give each other the 500k...which of course they won't...now, i wonder what eddie/josh's supporters would say about that... |
Jade888 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 01:04 pm  Dortega: Eddie fans should vote JOSH! Josh fans should vote EDDIE! May the best man win! |
Georgeliveson | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 01:12 pm  I agree with you Lucinda. What I liked even more than the 'personal touches' at the end of their RR challenge was their discussion of it afterwards. I'm voting for Eddie and Josh. |
Lafatme | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 06:42 pm  what is all the fuss about? curtis never said he should win. question: "who do you think should win, and why?" curtis: "i HOPE to win, but i'm not sure i SHOULD win. if josh or eddie wins that would be great, we all agreed it's up to the public" what's wrong with that? i just don't see that as a negative statement. and i don't care who wins, i like them all (josh a little less maybe but i'm not voting) |
Kuh | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 06:48 pm  Dortega - How many times is it necessary to state that Curtis will not win? Methinks you've ulterior motives. |
Jenhavins | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 07:02 pm  Kuh, me thinks that too...on every thread, and repeating it over and over and over again. We get the picture. You have your opinions and we have ours. |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 07:37 pm  200 posts in 24 hours? That's one every seven minutes! I guess we just can't decide whether Curtis choked or not! .... time will tell......Yeah, baby! |
Eddieluver | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 11:22 am  I haven't commented until now but what kind of thread would this be without EddieLuver? *laughs* Okay, I DO think that Eddie was VERY sincere when he chose Josh to win. He really cares for Josh and no matter what he will get some money. Eddie was in it for the money yes but in the end I think he realizes that Josh is a great guy and has always been there for him and if he wins he'll be fine with that. I am completely upset that you people are throwing his being real attitude in that house back in his face. He truly wants Josh to win but if he wins he will give it to his family. That is completely being real and don't say otherwise. I think his attitude is hey I'm going to get money still and Josh deserves to win it all. He's okay with that 100%. On the matter of Curtis choking I don't know. I was a bit upset that he chose himself, but afterall the game is based upon this kind of idea. One person wins and each HG is in there for themselves. His last ally or friend that he was close with in the house was Jamie. Since she is gone he is with the two he was not as close with at all. That being said, Josh AND Eddie were very sincere about their choices. They have grown to care for each other and built a special bond in the house. For posters to try and trash that and say that they weren't sincere are truthful about their choices is stupid. Clearly, Eddie cares about Josh and Josh about Eddie. I was VERY pleased with Eddie picking Josh but that didn't change my feelings about him. I want him to win but they are all truly winners in my book. Way to go guys! |
Nishy | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:21 pm  Stealth - are you not answering or just still trying to find where Curtis said me makes $300K per year (if I were you I'd give up looking, 'cause you won't find it)? |
