If Teresa really loved George, she would want him removed from the house.
Realitybites | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 05:55 pm  Although I dislike George and have spent $25 in anticipation of his removal, I truly feel sorry for him. Not because of banners that fly, because he is supposedly so poor or because he was voted by all four HG's. George is in the midst of losing his sanity and sense of self worth - BIG TIME. In no way at all is this said in jest. I have gone from liking George (in the beginning), to George annoying me to really disliking who George is and what he represents. However, IMHO, no amount of money, game show or TV program is worth what this poor man will suffer once he leaves the BB house. He is the laughing stock of a good number of people in both the US and Canada. The humiliation he has brought to himself (and I stress that I realize that he has done this to himself, along with his selfish wife), will have very far reaching negative effects for the rest of his life. Not only on himself but on his children as well. It is clear to me that Teresa has no interest in what is best for George, only herself. I could never look at myself in the mirror (no matter how much money I now had) and feel good again knowing that my benefit came from a loved ones down fall. He is not happy in that house. He laughs to hide the pain and simply cannot deal with the pressures and obvious hatred towards him. She not only encourages him to live in his own hell for money, but rallies to have him kept in there underhandedly instead of "letting nature take its course" (as in the vast majority of the public without corporate sponsors want him out). If she cared at all, she would not only let the chips fall as they may, but would encourage his release. Although I dislike him, I cannot help but feel compassion for him as a human being, which is more than i can say for his family and friends. PS: these will also be the people he will look to for support when his life is crumbling. Good luck George - you'll need it. |
Frostilicus | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 06:00 pm  Well said. I feel like that too. |
Twiggyish | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 06:11 pm  I think you are right. |
Remus | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 06:17 pm  No - You are wrong George is not hated like Karen, he is hated like Brittany. There is a huge difference. With Karen, she was never popular, and it only got worse. With George, he will always have a core group of fans, especially those in his hometown. |
Realitybites | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 06:23 pm  Remus: 400 fans vs 100,000 haters How wrong can I be? so he has a couple of selfish morons on his side, that isn't exactly going to help him. With his supporters, he can only be used more and feel worse. Imagine if he ever had to leave Rockford? Not only that, but no matter how many people support him, he will always feel the humiliation of the rest of it. You must be part of the family or part of Rockford because they will be too selfish to admit what it is doing to him - all because of money and publicity for the city. Shame on them |
Remus | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 06:37 pm  Actually my favorite houseguest is Eddie George has much more than 400 fans. The haters are primarily disgruntled Brittany fans. Check any popularity poll. George is way up there. His fans will not hate him. I concede he has many many haters, but he will not be isolated when he leaves the house. |
Veggrrl444 | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 06:52 pm  George does need help. It is obvious (to any alert individual) that he is cracking. In his own words, "My brain is toast, man"... Even the other HG's see it. George needs to leave the house for his safety and the HG's safety. And he needs to seek professional help when he does get out. IMO |
Bad_Murtle | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 07:37 pm  The "Roseanne" show was set in Rockford. |
Byron | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 07:43 pm  Wasn't it Lanford? |
Tukuul | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 07:59 pm  I think you're full of ...something. If your family really loved you, they would keep you from posting to these boards. LOL! |
Kjun4 | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 08:38 pm  I for one feel sorry for George. I've known people like George, He will come out of the house and have no clue why people hate him so much. George (let's see how to phrase this) is not living in the 21rst century. He comes from the country and is not street smart or even mature to the ways of the world outside of his little community. The things he has done in the house were to bring humor and not meant to set off this hatrid. I for one can see he is a very simple man and most people here have read way to much into this game show. I'm not related to George or even live near Rockford, but I can be indifferent to see through all of this stuff. Your post was right, if I were his wife I'd want him out of this stressful enviroment, to go home to the people who love him. |
Realitybites | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 08:44 pm  Tukull: I've seen a lot of the posts that you write which leads me to the fact that you are: a) related to George - which explains everything, b) mentally challenged and very disturbed, c) hoping that George will change his sexual preference. I am wondering if you actually read what you wrote in response to my post. I recall you talking about preschool humor in response to another post in which the poster did not like George and how you would not associate with someone with that mentality............. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH! Really.....my five year old could have come up with a better response than you. If you are going to waste our time with your posts, at least try! |
Katie | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 08:50 pm  'Check any popularity poll. George is way up there.' There are a lot of people who are going to the polls and voting George in fun. They know that the polls(especially that AOL one)are totally messed up. So they are just having fun with it and voting George to make fun of the poll. There are also people who are voting George to try to hid the person they really like from Teresa. I would take any poll results with a grain of salt. |
Skol39080164 | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 09:39 pm  I'm starting to think he'll do okay once he gets out. He does have a strong support base at home, and I don't see him moving away from that. He'll be a celebrity. I'm sure he'll read and hear a lot of things that will hurt him, but he's already shown he can handle that in the house. At least when he's out of there, when things get too much, he has the sanctuary of his home and family. Right now, he's basically all alone. I want him gone, and I've put in my vote, but like most of us out here, I'm not vindictive to the point of wanting to see this guy suffer. I think most of us know this is just a tv show and he isn't the devil incarnate. We won't be yelling obscenities or spitting on him if we happen to see him walking down the street. I don't think Theresa will fair aswell when she's out in public. That's going to be hard for him to see how mad we all are at her. It's going to be an unusual ride for him when he gets out, but when he's down in Kemah or at his welcome home party in Rockford, it'll all have been worth it for him. All that being said, I agree with the original post that I couldn't do what Theresa has done and sit and watch someone she supposedly loves go through all that he has. It certainly wouldn't be worth it for me no matter how much money was at stake. George annoys the hell out of me, but IMHO Theresa is the biggest culprit in all of this. |
Realitybites | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 09:46 pm  I agree about teresa and i truly hope George does do well once he's out. |
Casper | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 04:53 am  That's what I don't understand. Why on earth would Teresa do another voting party to get Jamie out. I've heard George say over and over "it's not for the money, guys, it's the experience we got in here". It's not for the money than why is she trying to keep George in the house? These people are "Swindlers" and they even "swindled " the courts. Even led the family of the shooting victim to believe that they were SO sorry about "killing" this man, but yet makes fun of him by doing the shooting skit in the RR. They are very good at what they do and have done it for Years. Pulled the "wool" over everybody eyes.! |
Tukuul | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 06:56 am  Realitybites: Then why do you bother responding? I think you're mentally challenged. "They should do this and they should do that." Why should anyone listen to you? 1. No, I'm not related. 2. No moreso than you. 3. LOL! The childish answer comes out. Don't cry little one. Take this last square of toilet paper and dry your eyes. Your name suits you. |
Pugrules | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 08:05 am  I think the isolation obviously gets to George. Somebody should have forseen that before he got to the house. If the BigBrother people didn't see it, Teresa should have figured it would happen. I think he will be okay once he gets out because he did have fun. He will have a lot of recognition in his town and he will enjoy that. I think this is the right time for him to leave; he has lasted almost to the end and has had his fun. He seems to be more tired than anything now. |
Wenko | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 08:22 am  George will be fine if he doesn't leave Rockford for awhile. I hope, that his wife and family will use discretion and take care of him and not try to push him to exploit his time on BB. Pugrules, you are probably right, the isolation is what probably gets to George the most. He seems to be someone who needs constant entertainment and shuns the self-awareness and analysis that quiet generally brings. Rarely do you see George spending time alone just thinking. If he is alone, he is usually talking to the dog, the chickens or Bob. OT, I use to spend alot of time on this board but decided to spend more time lurking because of one thing. When someone starts a "We Love _____" thread, admin asks that those of us who dislike that person steers clear, which is fair and right. However, sometimes, it needs to work the other way. This thread was started to say that although we don't like George anymore, we do empathize with the position that he will be in when he leaves the house and that we hope his life will become better than it has been. It's fine to disagree but use some common sense, if you can't be polite about it, go post a George Lover's thread. Avoid a thread that you know will be filled with people who do not like or respect George. There are over 100 active threads right now. Why are you here? Sorry for taking up so much space but it has been bothering me for awhile. |
Petunia | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 08:40 am  At the very least, Teresa should have been honest with him when he asked if he was 'getting trashed'. |
Latearriver | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:05 am  Petunia-what good would that have done? George seems to be in a precarious mental state as it is and in a short phonecall with no time for explanation, that would have done more harm than good. George may have succumbed to the experience of living in the house but his wife is still living pretty close to her usual life in the real world and she wants the money. Can't say that I blame her for that. Once George is out, he will probably agree with his wife. I don't wish George any ill but I also don't want to see him win any money either. |
Realitybites | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:10 am  Tukull: May I repeat: If you are going to waste our time with your posts - AT LEAST TRY Your second attempt at a response was weaker than your first. Buh Bye Tukull |
Creamynougat | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:18 am  >At the very least, Teresa should have been honest with him when he asked if he was 'getting trashed'. To be fair, Teresa didn't have time to say diddly-squat before George hung up on her. LOL. |
Petunia | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:19 am  George asked for a reason - I'm guessing he wanted the truth - she owes him that much. What would he have done with the information? I haven't a clue, but he does have a right to know. |
Latearriver | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:46 am  Petunia-if you saw banners flying overhead with cryptic messages about you, wouldn't you wonder if this was a big deal or just a few people with nothing better to do? I think that is why George asked her that. If he was really concerned, he had the time to ask more questions but a simple yes seemed to satisfy him. |
Petunia | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:53 am  So you're saying he expected her to lie to him? I'm not following your point. |
Wenko | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 10:01 am  I don't think that George was satisfied with Teresa's answer but was afraid to hear anything more. George has a huge inability to deal with conflict. Rather than admitting that he made videos in the RR asking the public to keep him in, he said that they were just more of his informercials. When Karen started to freak out, he started avoiding her except at night when they played cards, in a group. George didn't want to hear anything but good news, so as soon as he heard what he wanted to hear, he hung up lest Teresa had anything unpleasant to say. |
Latearriver | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 10:33 am  Wenko, I agree with your assessment that George can't handle conflict but he seemed sincere when he told the others later that they weren't being trashed. George doesn't seem introspective enough to think things through very deeply. Petunia, I don't think that George thought Theresa lied to him. He thought she told the truth and it was the message he wanted to hear. He only asked cuz all the banners were getting on his nerves. I am sure that he is used to being the butt of jokes in the real world and he now figures this is more of the same since Theresa said everything is ok. None of the Callees said anything bad to the HGs. I am sure that BB told them to be as positive as possible to prevent any of the HGs having a meltdown. There were a few comments about other HGs but I bet BB said if they said too much, their HG would get bounced. |
