Eddie was clearly goofing around. Jamie could have showed up Eddie by surprising the heck our of him by planting a huge wet kiss on him. Oh but wait, that might be editted wrong and be a storyline.

It reminded me of a brother harassing his sister (loving her but fed up with her for an instant but NEVER would he do what he "fantasized" about doing). Eddie is not my very favorite, but they are ALL acting like 15-year-olds and heaven forbid if your teenagers (or you as a teenager) were on camera 24/7.

Eddie is always trying to get a rise out of Jamie. Not easily done when faced with the stepford daughter. He's acting just like an annoying brother does. He was the same with Brit but she could take it. Jamie should have whacked him in the ribs. Eddie would have laughed and we wouldn't be having this discussion. Well, maybe we could have started a thread cheering Jamie on for showing some emotion other than depression.

Whatever

Britt didn't enjoy Eddie's physical aggression.

It's only fun when both participants consent and are enjoying themselves that it is actually "fun". Otherwise, it's harassment, at best, or, quite possibly in many cases, something worse.

Apparently, a lot of you Eddie supporters are from somewhat dysfunctional family environments. Such behavior is not "play".

It's difficult to decide which is sadder- that you feel that you can post authoritatively or knowledgeably on the subject or that anyone listens.

Unacceptable? Yes, unacceptable.

Enough with the "brothers" comments already. Jamie is ostensibly a stranger to him. She handled it perfectly by just looking at him like an adult looking at a child acting inappropriately. I repeat: Eddie is not Jamie's brother, cousin, relative of any type, or friend for that matter. A grown up man just doesn't act like that in mixed company, if at all. Nuff said.

I watched this as it happened on the live feed. It was at breakfast time, so if they showed Curtis eating chicken, it was edited. They were eating eggs that George was cooking. Jamie did NOT get up and walk away. She basically shook her head and kept eating. She got up later on. It did take her back a little, but she shook it off a lot faster than the editing showed. He was goofing. I kept saying to myself..Eddie knock that off you big goof. I knew it would upset folks. The others at the table didn't react because everyone knew it was just junk.

Jamie handled it better than I expected..and not as portrayed on the show tonight.

Eddie was just goofing, but he should have thought twice about that. I am beginning to think he likes her. He gets ugly with her a lot, but it is starting to look like when guys hit girls in the arms when they like them. He's been messing with her too much lately. It's like he is forcing himself to dislike her.

All the exited hgs said that the house is their own little world. So in their world there are three guys and one lady. They will tend to be attracted to the female eventually. This will change once they exit.

I thought it was a little wierd, but I know how CBS likes to edit things to manipulate the viewers. I also remember Eddie doing quite a bit of wrestling with Brittany, so he may have been just trying to get Jamie to loosen up and play with him like Brittany did. Who knows but Eddie?

I have an older brother, he'd never do that to a woman - my Mother raised him to be a gentleman. Anyway, Rufus is right, he's stupid to pull this crap at this point in the game.

Britt didn't enjoy his physial aggression---yes she got a few bruises---but I remember viviidly them rough housing on the bed and Britt laughing like crazy.

I grew up in a house full of sisters--and we thumped each other at every chance we got as a kids--mostly in fun.

I agree it is difficult to tell how upset Jamie was from the editting but that is irrelevant as to whether or not Eddie's behaviour was outrageous. Eddie said he'd like to see a bruise on Jamie's throat! This thread is not about what you think of Jamie's response, it is about what you think of Eddie's actions and statements.

There was no anger on Eddie's face while he was talking about 'clotheslining' Jamie. He was just trying to annoy her, or get a reaction from her, like brothers do. I have two older brothers and remember how much they liked to torture me. (I was always perfectly innocent, of course.)

Eddie was just being his obnoxious self, nothing more or less. It certainly didn't seem frightening to me.

OTOH, Eddie's whistling at this very moment makes me want to yank his mic off, throw him down and get him in a tight scissor hold!

After tonight's show, I hope final 3 will be Josh (who I hope wins the big one) Curtis and Jamie. I thought Eddie saying he had the urge to hit Jamie as she sat down at the table was way out of line. I think even the Jamie bashers would have to agree. If it was Brit, she might have played along, but with Jamie, something like that is a no-no, and if it had been Cass..., well, as the old saying goes, there would have been two hits; Cass hitting Eddie, and Eddie hitting floor. I've had a hard time liking Eddie from the start, as most times he seems like nothing more than the schoolyard bully. I've tried to like him more in last month, but after tonight, I expect him to get 3 votes on Sat, and come Weds., to see him cursing himself for not taking the $50,000 as he's walking down those steps out the door.

I hope no one really believes that Eddie would hit a woman...This guy with the rough exterior has the heart of a pussycat... He was obviously in a playful mood.. and if he didn't like Jaime he wouldn't be willing to play that way with her.... How many times do guys get together and roughhouse with each other.. being able to tease a girl about playing with her the same way is not the same as "hitting" a woman. Brit would have laughed... Cass would have laughed (as she did when he was banging pots)... and Jaime showed last night that she could banter with the guys too...

I am just copying what I said in another thread:

well said Mbliving!
And I would like to add, that anyone growing up in a housefull of boys will know that Eddie's comments to jamie about wanting to bodyslam her are just playful banter. I got choked, body slammed, noogied and tripped my whole life (and still do) by my Dad, Brothers and cousins. ANd I would be hearbroken if it stopped!!!!! Boys and girls are different!
Rmgreco Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 07:21 pm
I AM the sister Vinpur!!!!!! I was the only girl for 21 years so I know all about it!!! I'm from Wisconsin (originally) and we use our wits too, but physical rough housing is quite fun!! I tackle my husband daily! People are different everywhere you go!!

I always liked getting bruises because then I could show another relative and then that relative would bodyslam the one that gave me the bruise!!! A vicious circle but all fun! LOL! Jeez I miss my family now!! Brings a tear to my eye!

Deeya, you're absolutely right! I can't believe that some people can't tell the difference between playful banter and true aggression. Eddie was kidding around... give the guy a break already!

I believe that this was, basically, the schoolyard equivalent of pulling her pigtails. He has never shown any aggression toward her before. He was probably bored and wanted to see what she would say

I think that Eddie was just playing around like he usually does...and Jamie has gone to him in the past and told him to treat her just as he would Brittany...and that's what he did..

After 3 months, I think we all know that's just eddie..and he just likes to push it...

He really wouldn't have hurt jamie intentionally...the guys were right there to come to her rescue if she would have needed rescuing...

On tonite's show, didn't she go to eddie to tell him how much she really likes him..

rmgreco... I totally agree.. I love "rasslin'" with guys... it's lots of fun ... and I have never once felt "abused" by it... in fact.. I often instigated it!!!

ahaha, I thought it was hilarious, both him demonstrating the thought of clothes-lining the Jamester and the thought itself ... it was merely concept comedy, but of course you could construe it as unbridled agression ... it was funny overall ... but to parapet what Cassandra once advised/observed, `You just don't simulate clothes-lining a white woman in the throat on national television ...'

... now if Eddie had intimated the urge to clothes-line one of the guys, it might've been seen as aggressive fraticide, but with Jamie, the concept is just too hilariously outlandish to condemn the man for, but you know it will happen ... ahahahahaha ...

Whoa John, you need to lighten up. Can't you tell when someone is playing around?

'I hope no one really believes that Eddie would hit a woman...'

Yes he would. He has talked about playfully punching Monica and she just foors him when he does. I thought the image of Monica flooring him was funny.
