Manhasset/Commack "nice"neighborhood?Didn't see any thing about that-but it's "nice"in the relative term to some of the older Queens/Brooklyn neighborhoods that a lot of these families came from.Decent middleclass (comparatively speaking)to other cities working class neighborhoods (or suburbs) but an Oyster Bay or Hamptons-it isn't.

BTW Jim Brown (of the Cleveland Browns and movies)graduated from Manhasset HS-in another era

Eddie stated that they would not be able to sell
their home because of it's location. I can see him
blowing that money away pretty fast because he is
a young kid with high hopes and aspirations and
I see him broke in 1 year if not sooner. He wants
to send his brother to school so we are speaking
about 75 to 100K, a new house in his area will
cost a lot because of the closeness to NYCity,and
pay off the lien on the house that they live in or
the medical bills (he said"who would want to buy a
home around all those power lines?"), and the money is history. He will have an educated brother, at least.

That's what I think about Eddie blowing all his money in a year. If Kelly on Survivor had won the jackpot of that show, you can bet she would have already started blowing it. Richard at 39 is mature enough to invest the money rather than blow it all. Maybe Curtis can be Eddie's financial advisor.

Josh was smart enough to say he'd go directly to a financial advisor.. I know Curtis offered to help Josh.. not to be his attorney but to let him know when he could use advise (this was in terms of opportunities).

I hope eddie will also get some advice.

and.. hopefully piranhas (e.g. Jamie) who always
gather round a winner to "help" them spend it..
(Jamie said over and over that the winner must pay for trips for all to Vegas) I'm not even saying Jamie specifically will get to the winner
but there will be people..

I think all three actually may react pretty responsibly. I think George would have been more impulsive.. like wistfully wanting to be a hero to the highschool.. In his case the direct gift of an education for his daughter was excellent.

And, I'm a romantic enough to hope that Eddie and Monika have a chance.

I found this on Bigbrotherupdates.com


09-28-00 Eddie is single! I have recieved email from numerous people wanting to know why he is stating he is single so let me sum it up here. After the banishment of Jamie last night Big Brother told the house guests that their families were coming. They informed Eddie that his girlfriend would not be there. She is in college in Germany and did not want to come to the USA to see him leave the house. The reason Big Brother told him this yesterday is cause they didn't want Eddie on what will probably be one the happiest days of his life to find out at the same time as he is winning prize money that his girlfriend didn't want to see him. 'Congradulations, here is your prize money and your girlfriend dumped you' would not have looked good on live tv!!!

I think we need to be careful here about whether Monica doesn't want to come or isn't able to come. If she has an important test, for example, that can't be made up, or some other compelling reason she has to stay at school, it's understandable that she can't be there.

This isn't the same as if she had a death in her immediate family that we would expect her to come over for regardless of school considerations.

Big Al is right--Monica obviously has a list of priorities, and Eddie just doesn't happen to be at the top of them. Who knows why? We're only guessing when we say she dumped him or that she is too poor to afford the ticket or that Eddie's mother doesn't like her.

She could have something in school she had to do or she could have a Visa problem also. We might not ever know.

Maybe monica was just a ploy for Eddie to talk about a gf in the house...is it possible that they never had a serious relationship?

I think when Katie mentioned VISA problem, she didn't mean credit card. She may have problems with visa as in passport and travel papers.

Also, I doubt if money for a plane ticket was an issue anyway. CBS would have paid her airfare.

Yes I meant passport and travel papers. I don't think that even CBS has that much power.

Sultry, I read that posting on the bigbrotherupdates board yesterday. However, apparently it's not true. I don't think Eddie was told that Monica was not coming to the final show. I say that because just before the finale tonight, I heard Eddie talking (on the live feeds) as if he expected Monica to be there. I said to my partner at that time: Well, something doesn't jive here because I read that Eddie had been told Monica wasn't coming, and he's talking right now as if she's waiting for him in the studio or outside the house. I don't know what's up. Hope this helps.
