Eddie has always said he wants to win the BIg Dollars...now it is clear that each one will get something fairly signifigant...Josh has pecs, Eddie has attitude...If Curtis said I want eddie to win...the Curtis fans might say OK he's cool with 50gs lets not vote...who else will stand up for Curtis...he's learning to be somewhat assertive and I like that with him..do we really beleive that Eddie doesnt want the big prize..I don't think so...Vote Curtis

Thanks for the post. Curtis was the leader in the sense that the others looked to him for guidance -- probably without even being aware of it.

If you watch the tapes carefully, you can see that he ALWAYS gets his way. How? With leadership -- but it is in a subtle, manipulative way.

Although Curtis is my complete favourite, I assumed Eddie would win, and believed he deserved for being clear about his intentions.I was looking forward to his answer in the RedRoom. I was waiting for "Hell, yeah! ME!"....It would have been great and true to character. I think he choked.

So, do you suppose if Eddie or Josh wins they will give the other one some money? Why didn't Julie ask that...the RR asked Jamie that and everyone was all over her for it. That would have been interesting. :)

Oh please- the question was OBVIOUSLY asked in a a manner suggesting the HG should suggest who OTHER than themselves should win the pot. Eddie and Josh got it, Curtis didn't. It was a very revealing moment.

I am not criticizing Curtis for being honest. It is admirable.

I am merely pointing to the fact that he is now revealing himself as he truly is, and thus not who he has been portraying himself to be for three months.

I for one, am glad. Now I can make a more informed voting decision.

Fenixtx: Thanks!

Curtis for President!..
reminds me of something.

What if you ask that same question to Gore or Bush. What would you think of the candidate if they said
"Well, I want my opponent to win. Because he's a good guy and he needs it."

Ocean Islands:

Curtis HAS been a leader. He was the first to show how to act when one is nominated. He kept his cool for 5 nominations. While others whined or played to the camera. He just kept on being himself and contributing the house. He has taken on cooking and how to handle nominations. If he took more of a leadership role, it would be a pain in the neck and I would be reading how people think he is meglomaniac.

Rmgreco: LOL!

Oceans_Islands says about Curtis, "you can see that he ALWAYS gets his way" and "it is in a subtle and manipulative way."

I don't think he is so subtle, Oceans. Remember when they had to choose which HG would come back into the house? Eddie started out saying, "Britt", but then his face went blank and I noticed Curtis' brows kind of furrowed and his eyes got all psychedelic and he just kind of STARED right at Eddie. It wasn't long before Eddie was staring straight ahead, vapidly reciting, "Yeah Cass is a good choice, I'll go with you's guys on that." Spooky.

are you people forgetting that curtis has stated that he wants the "whole experience?" yes, the whole damn thing, that includes winning the first prize. just like eddie, when he says he's in there for the money. didn't you guys say that eddie was real for wanting the money?

some posters think that curtis already had the experience, but fail to realize that the experience means to the very end, including the 500k. that is what i gathered the first time curtis was talking about 'the experience'. the experience doesn't only mean doing chores, having conversations with HGs, cleaning pugita's poop, etc..

i just think some of you are not looking at the whole picture and are quick to say that curtis has endured the experience so let him have the 50k because he will make the money working as a prosecutor in los angeles. come on people, curtis is not being selfish because he says he wants to win the grand prize. maybe eddie could take a few lessons from curtis on how to maintain realness.

What happened to all you Eddie lovers whose primary argument for why the money should go to Eddie was becuase he stated clearly that he wanted it so badly, and that Curtis did not deserve the money because he was there for "the experience." Now that Curtis says that he hopes to win but would be happy if Josh or Eddie won, suddenly he's a greedy lawyer. If Eddie had answered the question in the same way as Curtis, he'd get no criticism and you'd all just say "wow, Eddie's being real, and he's a great competitor."

Sleepless I agree with you I'd love for it to be 1. Eddie 2. Josh 3. Curtis. But however it turns out now I'll be happy. I'm just glad Eddie made it into the final three.
Go Eddie!!!!
Love You!!!

I guess these are the same folks who think having a BJ is not sex and they keep it rael by Clinton staying in office. If a BJ isn';t sex than what is really sex?

I cast 3 votes already.
Two for Eddie
One for Josh
Curtis already has everything going for him. Great education. (USC, Cambridge University, Eng....with no loans left to pay) A Law degree, 2 bar exams passed. A 6 figure job offer. He has travelled all over the world. He's got the world on a string...and money or no money, Curt is going to succeed. This prize is just investment monopoly money to him. And bragging rights.

I think Eddie and Josh can use this money to open doors of opportunity for themselves and it will really change their lives for the better.

I like all three but...that's just how I decided to vote.

Ocean Islands:

Curtis has said nothing tonight that he hasn't said before. Period. This thread is just started to find *something* to cast Curtis in a negative light, so their favorite can win. There is nothing to this. Did Curtis say that he wants to win with greed glittering in his eyes? No. He said it in a normal healthy manner. Of course, it would be cool to win. He also graciously said that either Josh and Eddie could win and that would be cool.

As a Curtis supporter, Curtis has enough merits on his own to deserve winning the 500k without even mentioning Josh and Eddie.

What I am a bit upset about is that it appears that Eddie and Josh snubbed Curtis, even though they know how he has contributed to the house and how he always had the best interests of his fellow houseguests at heart.

Ocean, you certainly know how to stir up the pot!! I think we are all getting weary from our long summer of posting parties. The three remaining HG's are the winners overall. We all see things differently and that's what makes us unique individuals. As for me, I see that Curtis has been the most real person in the BB house and because of that, he will be the overall winner walking out of the BB house with $500,000.00 plus the Sony Trinitron Flat Screen TV!!

Ocean Islands, I like your theory about Curt as weak leader. I'd say he got his way by not overplaying his hand, but making sure he had his say. Since they respected him they went along. I would not call it "manipulative," but I see what you mean. Interesting!

I don't see who else Curt could have said he wanted to win. Jamie's out and the other two are allies. His best move would have been to refuse to answer, explaining that Jamie was out, and then state the strengths of the other two. They all get so rushed in that RR! What would happen if they just relaxed? Would Julie Chen get mad?

Curtis does have nice manners but I don't think he has much empathy for people that aren't as "well situated" as he is in life.

He acted shock when BB asked if need should be a factor in deciding who to banish/who should win. I think Curtis comes from a privileged background so he just doesn't think in terms of who could use the money or what type of difference it could make in their life. The guy already has an investment portfolio that his father took over managing when Curtis came in the house. Hope Eddie and Josh take first and second. Sorry can't see spending my money to give someone in Curtis's position more money.

Eddie/Curtis Curtis/Eddie WHEW!! Aren't there any Josh fans out there? I mean, I know BBFC in heavily pro Curtis with a sprinkling of Eddie fans, but isn't anyone considering Josh? Just wondering. Peace WEB

This show shouldn't be called Big Brother, it should be called "Who Needs Money the Most." Anybody over 25 who has worked hard to settle down and achieve financial security need not apply. Preferable applicants: amputees, cancer patients, homeless, orphans, small children, college students in debt, etc, with appealing personas.

Webtvlurker, I was wondering about Josh fans too. I know everyone dismisses AOL Lady but she did say he has lots of lovestruck fans on the AOL board. I guess we're just more mature.
