Jake | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 06:49 pm  Congratulations to Eddie, but my BIG disappointment was that Curtis came in third. How in the HELL did THAT happen??? I wanted Curtis to win, Eddie second and Josh could go jump in a lake for all I cared. If I had my druthers, Cassandra would have been up there with Curtis and Eddie. If it were between those three, the order would not have mattered too much although I would have liked to see Curtis and Cassandra up top. But with Josh in the picture - getting SECOND??? I'm amazed! I guess pro-wrestling really HAS dimmed a lot o' brains out there.. *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* |
Jake | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 06:53 pm  RICMUNOZ> As FRUITBAT said, you may be right about the lawyer angle and that NEED factor came in too. Oh well... He DID make it to the top three, but it really twists my panties, and NOT in a GOOD way, that Josh came in second... |
Resortgirl | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 06:55 pm  Wendy, thanks! I would have liked to see Eddie in second, no offense... that's just the way I feel, but it threw me for a loop putting Eddie in 3rd. Oh well, we could all debate this till the cows come home (or at least the "chicken man") What's done is done. But next time lets be more careful about voting out the controversial people lest we have another rather boring group to watch for 3 months! Love ya all! Jane |
Homer | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 06:55 pm  I placed 9 votes for Curtis to win. Obviously there was enormous support for Eddie, but I really thought Curtis would have more than 14% of the vote. Over 1 of every 4 votes went to Josh? Can there BE that many gays and prepubescent girls who voted for him? ;) |
Harmonica | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 06:57 pm  I voted for him manically yesterday and today, although I am sad I think its better that he is at third place. I was amazed at malicious pro-wrestlling going on here. They would have ripped him apart out of rage if Curtis even came to second. |
Annah | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:03 pm  Homer: Does the term "sore loser" mean anything to you? Curtis got 14%...it's not like it was even close... Eddie and Josh just had more supporters...you don't need to bash them...it was just a game...just a game...lighten up. |
Elisa | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:05 pm  I wanted Curtis to get third but I was disappointed in the 14%. I really wanted a closer race. Why didn't the Curtis fans vote? Oh well, I think he grew the most during the stay so I guess he's still a big winner. |
Zaney | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:10 pm  I think A lot of Curtis fans and Eddie fans voted for Josh for second thinking he wouldn't have anyone voting for him. I think a lot of people recently changed their mind about Curtis. (last two days) I was really surprised I thought Eddie and Curtis would be really close in the end. |
Bali | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:13 pm  I'm very disappointed. Congratulations to Eddie and Josh and to their fans but I can't get over the fact that most people out there are so out to lunch when it comes to recognizing real character and integrity. I think that Curtis wasn't liked by many because he seemed too well-adjusted, too normal, too together. Add to that the fact that he's a lawyer and an Asian one to boot and not many people could identify with him. |
Homer | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:28 pm  Annah, I think you're the one who needs to lighten up... I didn't bash Eddie or Josh. If you'll notice in my first post, I brushed it off with and "Oh, well" that Curtis didn't win. If you'll notice in the second post, there's a wink at the end. You're taking this way too seriously. I've congratulated Eddie in other threads. Great for Josh that he won 2nd place. I'm just really surprised at Curtis's low vote %age. Got it? Good. |
Webrover9 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:29 pm  To me Curtis will always be the winner! And as far as I can see he has a much brighter future ahead of him that Josh or Eddie. Eddie needs someone to manage his money and although Josh was #2, he still won't be a happy person. |
Enbwife | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:36 pm  Make sure you guys leave your kind messages for the house guests in the Fan Mail - Not Hate Mail area in the Discussion Board. They are getting messages to read their mail there, but may not find the kind words in the General area as it is so large. |
Sparky | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:46 pm  Enbwife - I don't see the link to Fan Mail. It's not in the frame to the left. I really want to get a message to Josh. Please tell me where to find it. It's important to me (and potentially to him - I have a screenplay that he might be interested in). Thanks. It's always been great to see your appearance here. |
Sparky | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:50 pm  Enbwife - okay I must have found that Fan Mail earlier because I've posted my message to Joseh there. I truly hope Josh sees it there. |
Shan | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:04 pm  IMHO, I think Curtis simply didn't have enough people who liked him enough to call in. I mean, I think a majority of people like Curtis and Josh better than Eddie. But, like them enough to vote for them? I don't think so. I didn't want Eddie to win but I didn't vote either. If it had been another vote for who you DON'T want to win, Eddie would have lost, just as he would have been banished if it had been Eddie vs. Curtis vs. Josh in the last round. People's dislike of Eddie wasn't exactly overpowered by an intense like of Curtis or Josh. Plus, the show got so boring toward the end, I suspect that not as many people watched or voted as in previous rounds. |
Sparky | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:21 pm  Shan, I think it's been established that the HGs who are the most out there are the ones who would garner the most votes FOR and AGAINST them. This was a new ballgame - voting for a HG as opposed to against them. Eddie won big-time fair and square and I congratulate him (and I'm most happy for Josh, my favorite - I relate to how deep he is but it seems to be underwater to many other people and not evident to them.) |
Chestnut | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:45 pm  So true, Webrover - Curtis is a winner in life! I'm still exhilarated to see him walk away #3 from the show after 89 full days in the BB house. The fact that he outlasted seven other HGs to be in the final three speaks a lot about this guy. Don't let the voting results bother you because this show isn't about who has the best integrity, after all, it's about popolarity. Curtis just doesn't have the all-American appeal. To many, he's just a hardworking man... a hardworking Asian man... or perhaps a hardworking Asian lawyer. The majority of the voting public will let him stay in the house, but when it comes down to favorite, they have the least to relate to him. What's more important is that Curtis is a GREAT guy and will do extremely well in the future. Cheers, all. |
Mbliving | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:48 pm  I always had a soft spot for Eddie so I was glad he won but I also liked Curtis. I was also very surprised when they announced that he only received 14% of the vote. I didn't realize that Josh had so many fans. They were pretty quiet on the message boards. I thought it would be much closer between Eddie and Curtis. There also seems to be a great number of people who like me, likes both of them. Maybe when push came to shove they voted Eddie. I don't know. But 14% does seem low. |
Megacad | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:52 pm  If they had kept doing banishment rounds, the results probably would have been very different. I bet Eddie would have been *out* next for third, and then who knows. In the end, it's like Brittany said when she was up -- people who are strongly liked are also strongly disliked. Curtis didn't have anybody voting him out, but when push came to shove nobody voted *for* him, either. |
Sparky | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:56 pm  Mbliving: Many of Josh's fans (like me) weren't vocal and rousing like Curtis' and Eddie's fans. I guess it's because we relate to Josh when we were his age (I'm 46 so I'm no teeny-bopper). Still waters run deep - that says how I have felt about Josh for over 2 months. |
Curious | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 04:57 am  <Perhaps the fans that Curtis attracts just aren't as motivated as others to vote.> As Eddie might say - Slackers!!! Sorry, I just couldn't resist! I really checked into this thread to say Curtis did win. He made it to the final three, an accomplishment he has every right to be proud of. Seven others tried and did not make it. The only way Curtis is not a winner in all of this is if you forget that and equate third place as last. |
Kuh | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 05:06 am  To be selfish here for a moment, the third place winner was shown reuniting with the other HGs, and that was fun. BTW, I thought it was in poor taste of TPTB on the BB show to include Curtis' comment about his father and 'being dead inside' right in front of his family. |
Fruitbat | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 07:41 am  Kuh...I think that may have been the best thing his family could have heard. It may very well move them forward to a closer relationship. I see it as a gift. Sparky..you are right. He came in 3rd out of 10, not last out of 3! He will be very successful and get the most out of this experience. He will be able to view himself as desirable, hot, sexy, witty, bright and indeed, loved. He knew some of this but I don't think he really, really registered it entirely. I am greatful we got to see more of Curtis. It eased the pain, slightly, of his placement last night. I am better this morning. |
Dulci | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 07:48 am  Kuh - I agree with you about the Curtis family comment, I thought that was unnecessary. It was enough to show that on a regular show, but not at the finale... |
Suziebird7 | Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 06:25 pm  Jake- It happened pretty much how and why I predicted! I noticed that many Eddie fans were also Curtis fans and vice versa (yin and yang!), but many felt just a little stronger about Eddie. I posted encouraging people who liked them both to vote for Eddie but also to cast a few for Curtis, fearing if they didn't, then Josh would creep into second. Which I think is exactly what happened. So sad. |
Kalihiwahine | Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 06:48 pm  Kuh: i agree w/your posting..and also Dulci's.. there really was no need to show it again..it had already been shown... but congratulations to Curtis and the fact that he had the opportunity to sit at the sofa & bond w/ brit and not be rushed off the show as j& e were.. |
Tukuul | Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 06:50 pm  Don't "should" all over yourself. Don't be a "shouldhead". |
