Eddie fans: Any regrets?
Caged | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 11:07 pm  I am still lost on the comment that was made about "People with good hearts don't do stupid things to hurt the ones they claim to love". I have one question. WHAT!?? That is a completely ridiculous statement to make. I have a good heart, I am sure you have a good heart and many other people out here have a good heart. Are you going to tell me that you have NEVER done or said something "stupid" to hurt anyone you love? We all can say we have sometime to someone we love. So what you are saying is Eddie must not have a good heart? Maybe you worded it wrong but I don't understand what you mean by it. Eddie is a true, genuine person. Yes, he says it like it is, whether you'll like it or not, but that makes him honest, not a bad person. I think some of you need to realize Eddie is not the only person in this world that is like this. As a matter of fact, half of New York acts like that. He won the game for the fact that he was the only one who was honest from the time he walked in the doors of the house. 59% of the viewers proved that. If Monica is going to get jealous that easy, then Eddie deserves better then that. He went above and beyond to make the point clear that he was in love with Monica many times. Trust is the biggest part of a relationship and without that there isn't any. Look at Jordan, she talked about her boyfriend and then would straight out tell Josh she was sexually attracted to him. I didn't hear anyone complain about that. I do not or never will have regrets about voting for Eddie. I am not saying he is my "role model", I don't need T.V. for that, but I can appreciate his straight-forwardness. Oh, and whoever said about Eddie playing on our sympathy, I hope you don't know anyone in his situation, but I live with it everyday and believe me that is not what he was doing. If you lived with it, you would understand that. |
Dina | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 01:32 am  I have to say that this is quit funny, everyone is wondering should they have or shouldn't they have voted for Eddie. Does it really matter now? Eddie played the game fair. So did the others..I will express my thoughts on the whole banishment thing though. I don't believe that they thought through the process very well.... Will and Jordan should not have bee banished first..I believe that the ratings for this show would have been a whole lot higher if they would of done ths...... The first round should have been the dull Jamie, she didn't have any personality to her (show melt down). Next should have been Karen, she just wanted people to feel sorry for her (total waste of show's time). Third should have been Curtis, although I like the way he talk sometimes he to did't hold much of a personality. Fourth should have been Cassandra, she was to quite and had to many racial issues to deal with (total waste of time, Isnt almost everyone past racial issues). Fifth should have been George, he tried to hard to fit in(time to go). Sixth should have been Mega, It would have bee his time to go (I will explain Later). Seventh should have been Jordan, We could start ending the great drama she could have made for us viewers. The winners should have went as follows...Eddie first, Brit second, and Josh third. Now lets think about this.. Who kept hings up beat and interesting? Jordan, Mega, Eddie, Brit, and Josh. The others were kinda boring, don't ya think? Who knows, maybe the could have been some romantic seens, there could have been a lot of great arguments. Jordan was full of surprises. And who knew what Mega would be up to. Sure Mega shouldn't win, nor Jordan.. but they could have been fun to watch stiring up trouble.. Brit was herself all the way. I thought she was so funny (I like her best with brown dark hair though).But all in all, Eddie,Brit, Jordan, and Mega were themselves... |
Anni | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 06:22 am  Dina, I agree with you. That said: my thoughts when the show began was to keep as much calm and peace among the hgs as possible. Why? I don't know. I suppose I wasn't thinking of it as a show but as a family attempting to survive under adverse conditions for 90 days, having to eliminate each other every two weeks. My guess is and from what the hgs said during much of thir chatter (I watched the internet feeds constantly), they, too, were going for the "peace" issue. Don't stir up trouble; don't make waves; be nice; etc. Someone failed to tell them (and me) that this was a TV show and needed some pizazze. CBS evidentally failed to inform the hgs of their expectations within the house and what they needed for a "good" show. I'm afraid if Mega and Jordan had been left though, we would have seen war within a short time. Once Britt left the show, it was over. CBS had to struggle to come up with scripts and ideas to piece together. Do you think CBS will come up with a "plan" for BB 2? Obviously the USA format didn't do what the European ones have??!! And Americans are generally "peace at all cost" and "what about our image." I'm not sure BB will ever totally succeed in USA. As for Eddie, I think he won because of the sympathy vote and by default due to the ones remaining. CBS screwed up and so did the voting public. |
Samplecd | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 09:16 am  Does anyone understand that this was a "reality" show????!!!! Reality is boring sometimes, is funny sometimes, and is confrotational sometimes. That is what the show was about. It got bad ratings cus it wasnt Funny enough, or confrontational enough, and boring. All these people that moan about the hg being quiet about their feelings as to not 'rock the boat'. How many people out there have felt that their boss was the most idiotic person in the world or that he/she did something incredibly stupid?? Did you speak up and 'rock the boat' and risk your job?? I believe most of you didnt. Dont condemn anyone til you walk in their shoes, and if you want that excitement with confrontation and other stuff. Go watch NON reality tv where it is scripted and planned and go on with your blinders on thinking that is the way "reality" is. |
Dina | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 11:52 am  I have to argue that on with you... Sure realty in life can be very boring at times, but In my reality world thee is not a dull moment. If I was on that show I would have banished people just the way I said up there, even If I was the one arguing with Mega. Besides every one needs a good arguement sometimes. So who has the blinders on?I think it is you. I hope with he next big brother the pick people a lot better, or come up with a better plan, like anni said. Don't get me wrong, those people were real people, but not real enough. they need more people wo know what lifes all about, the strougling to make ends meet people, the people who are not afraid to speak ther minds, the girls next door (or boys). they don't need beauty queens, lawyers, ect. Do they know it's like o struggle? Who knows... But the point is, If they wanted good ratings, tey shoud pick the average joes. |
Samplecd | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 12:33 pm  Well I am happy for you, Dina, that you dont have a boring life. I also agree with you that they should have more average joes on the show. |
Anni | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 12:39 pm  Sample, I think you missed the whole point Dina and I were making. I'm beginning to feel exactly like Josh, totally misunderstood. The point is, as Dina just stated, the people chosen made a conscious decision not to stir up controversy and to get rid of those who did. Why does this seem so simple to me? I'm not saying their choice was correct. I'm saying their choice was probably not the wisest choice they could have made. The cast "busted" the show; the audience was contributory. Whether the hgs were "real" or not isn't the point I was making. I'm referring to concept, more than actions. The hgs made conscious choices to "behave" and get rid of those who didn't. I bought into this same concept at the beginning. Now I see how wrong I was and how wrong the hgs were. CBS figured this out after Britt was banished. The system CBS had established had failed. (Am I talking a foreign language or what?) |
Kitkat | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 01:39 pm  I disagree. first to go should have been Eddie. He did not deserve to win, and as far as being true to himself. When asked who he thought deserved to win, he said Josh. Now you all know he was in there for the money and NO WAY thought Josh should have won. |
Samplecd | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 02:33 pm  I understand Anni, and I was agreeing with Dina, after I read her message again I understood the point that you and her are trying to make and I agree with it. They should not have voted out the controversial ones, I agree with you. :-) |
Mbliving | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 03:21 pm  I agree with Dina and Anni. On the British BB, they discussed, argued, laughed, had sex and confronted each other. The American version was like Mr Roger's Neighborhood. People in Cassandra, Jamie and Curtis's position are obviously going to worry about image. As much as I like Cass and Curtis, they should never have been put on the show. God, Jamie wouldn't even talk to Curtis when he upset her because she didn't want it to be aired. No reality there. I always thought it was a shame that Mega came on so strong right from the start. He would have been very interesting to have on the show for awhile. Hopefully, if there is a BB2, they'll be more careful on who they cast and maybe the voters will have learned from thier mistakes and not vote off the most controversial. |
Dina | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 12:45 am  As I have read through these last few comments since mine, I have to say that I am happy that some people can see things the way I do, I don't get that to much, I usualy have to argue for a long time (maybe it's the way I come across sometimes)... Any way, I would like to say.. KITKAT, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST SAID? Let's think about this for a second, thougout the entire three months who was the one who was up front about everyone and everything? EDDIE! Who was the one who wasn't afraid of anything like watching the nominations whe everyone else didn't? EDDIE! A far as Eddie picking Josh to win at the end, you have to think about the fact that those two spent three whole months together everyday, every night, just mabie he really got to know Josh and at the end really felt that Josh deserved the money more than he did. It could happened. Eddie came in there being selfish (I don't blame him, I would to) and left there feeling different. We don't know, and we realy should look at that as a noble thng, not as one full of crap. On the the other hand, Eddie may have not wanted to seem like he was greety.....NOT EDDIE! Thank you everyone for understanding my views... Sample, When I said that My life Doesn't have a dull momment, I mean that I am 25 years old, I am married (5 years), I also have four lttle boys (ages 5,4,2,and 4 months...I was trying for a girl) I also work full time at General Motors (second shift) All my friends are always around, and family members to, so I'm sure you could imagine my days as far from dull as you can get. |
Samplecd | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 05:23 am  Dina, you want my 3 yr old girl then??? LOL shes getting quite the attitude!! :-) (I also have a 11 month old boy) And hearing that you have 4 kids, wow, I totally understand not a dull moment. :-) |
Dina | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 12:14 am  Samle... I will give 2 of mine for your little girl, just kidding,LOL. This is realy funny but I put in to be on the Big brother show, just like everyone else, I reallt want to do it, I need time to be Diana, I know that I can't exape being a mom, and I don't want to but I have been doing this since I have been 19 and I know there is a lot about myself that I haven't explored. If I was given the chance I know that If I make through the first banishment that I could make it the rest of the way, I gues you could ay I am mix between Eddie, Brit, and Jordan....I am just crazy. |
