Theresa,
Your plan wasn't a bad one (obviously, it worked). What I abhor is the fact that you targeted one particular guest when there were 5 to choose from. I further abhor that businesses in Rockford are willing to spend "as much as it takes" go keep George in the house for the duration.

Personally, I hope he gets nominated every time from here on out and that it ends up costing your petty little town of Rockford, IL well over the $500K your husband will win. I'm willing to bet you aren't going to be paying anyone back for all those phone calls.

Hope the stress of all those nominations and maintaining two different personas doesn't burst a blood vessel in George's brain. He was clearly under a great deal of stress this week and I was worried about him. I guess I worried more than you did 'cause you chose to make sure he continues to be placed under more and more stress.

I don't wish you ill, I simply wish you'd play fair and not act like a greedy, money-grabbing, win-at-all-costs low-life.

Dear Theresa,

I would apologize for the venom that has been directed at you by people who, in their blind hatred, have commited far worse trangressions of fairness, sportmanship, and good taste than those they attribute to you or your husband. It is an unfortunate fact of being a public figure that there will be those self-righeous souls who feel they have the right to judge who is "good" and who is "evil" and to heap their bile upon anyone who disagrees with them.

You and George have played the Big Brother game intelligently and ethically. You have no reason to feel shame. If families and supporters of the other contestents had thought to follow your game plan they would have done so, perhaps to the cheers of those who now condemn you for your strategy.

I hope that, win or lose, you and George will be able to put this ugliness behind you when this is over and resume something like normal lives. I believe George is a good hearted person and deserving of some peace.

Theresa: You obviously had a plan, and knew that a little good PR could buy you thousands of votes. However, you miscalculated, not taking into account that PR is a two edged sword, and you cut your own throat with all the bad PR you created when you revealed the nasty villianous side of your personality in that clip where you voted for Brittany. Now you have offended hundreds of thousands of people who will now vote against you (er, your husband). We all knew that George wasn't very bright. Thank you for showing us that he still is the brains in your family.

I guess I'd want to tell Theresa that it's sad that both she and George didn't have enough faith in him to let him win on his own merits. Because this scheme has backfired in a big way.

George was my favorite from the beginning. I thought he was sweet and honest, and represented everything I'd want in the dad I never had. And the popularity polls reflected that George was tops with many of the viewers too. If he could have been himself, and you could have let him be, then he might have pulled it off.

As it is, the public and CBS are both more than ready to have him out. His popularity has been completely destroyed in the past 2 weeks. Greed outweighed your faith in your husband, and his greed outweighed a sense of fairness and honesty with the people he played the game with. Personally I hope he goes because it's undermined the public's faith in the contest, left a bad taste in all of our mouthes and it would be nice to see if there's anything left to salvage out of watching BB, without hearing Brit and George in every sentence. Without watching the HG cry like someone died, and the fans rage about the unfairness. I'm sick of it all and it's no fun anymore.

I don't see anything legally, or even ethically wrong with anything that you've both done. It's your game, and you're playing it as you see fit. But when George loses this and gets banished - and he will - let it be known that no one's to blame but yourselves. He had a real shot at it until you both stopped believing that George could be valuable to the public without trying to buy his way to the finish, and you both let greed - and bad taste - take over.

Scoob---I think what you said makes the most sense. George could have had it all with dignity. He might still be the winner--and I suppose the money is the most important and to be the winner. I use to think that he would get tons of endorsement offers--but companies had better be careful offering anything to him now. I know I would NOT BUY anything with his face on it---including George's Hose water

Theresa, and George,

Congratulations on recognizing that Big Brother is a GAME. It's not an opportunity to "grow" or to "make friends" as some of the other houseguests seem to think.

It's a challenge to be the last person in the house and to win $500,000.

Have fun spending that money.

Your desire to support your husband is honorable. There is much controversy of your means to the end though. I cannot judge you and George's supporters for supporting him through the most expansive means available to you - LOBBYING. My thought is that the method you used has been done before outside of this situation and will be copied and repeated in the future. I am thinking of a similar situation in the 70's when Cincinatti Reds' fans were encouraged to stuff the ballot boxes to guarantee that the starters were all Cincincatti Reds. The Baseball Commissioner, aware of the ballot stuffing, made the judgement call that only the most qualified players were chosen to start, "qualified" being the key word in that situation. I believe it is labeled LOBBYING in politics. Though LOBBYING is not illegal it is sometimes considered to be unethical by some. Where do we draw the line?

Having said that, I wish George and your family the best of luck, as well as the remaining houseguests.

You made a mistake by exploiting your devious plan. Good luck to you. You are well within the "laws of the game" .... just not a "fair player"

George was my favourite... hands down. The fact that he was pulling it off was really heartwarming... until his family organized an outside influencing movement to discredit any chance of George **doing this on his own**.

I no longer support George. Congrats on playing the game for him.

Theresa - I am so sorry to see how many people are dumping on George. He has been my favorite since the beginning and always will be. I guess no one can accept the fact that he is a wonderful person and is just trying to have fun while he is in the house. Hang in there - it's almost over.

Toots...I modified it a bit, to instill a false sense of security in her...

About the postings: this is something that has become apparent to a lot of us a while ago, during the Angel missions...

My new thing about Treesa is: since I am almost in her weight class, I wanna challenge her to a wrassle!!! No, NOT in ketchup...

I supported George from the very beginning. The Rockford vote was minimal (do the research) and did not affect the outcome of the vote. So George's family supported him. Don't think the state of Washington isn't supporting Jaime by calling in votes. They just weren't advertised on TV the way CBS did with Rockford. Nor did CBS attempt to annouce that Rockford called in just over 700 votes. Big DEAL!! It did not affect the over 500,000 banishment votes called in all together. Teresa: Rockford should have flown a banner announcing "700 VOTES FROM ROCKFORD DID NOT VOTE BRITTANY OUT!!!!" ERHHHHHHHHHHHH!
