John | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 04:54 am  I've noticed how even some of you George haters have been saying how amused you were at the skit (I found it hysterical). I just wonder if this convinced the average tv viewer to pick up the phone and vote to boot Eddie. Curtis and Jamie are safe for now, I believe it is between Eddie and George this week (why does Curtis even bother packing?). |
Mlady | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 05:03 am  I wouldn't go so far as to say that one comical moment of the Chicken Man, would spare him from banishment. He's got several votes from me, and will get a few more. Especially if Teresa played her games again. Vote Eddie out? No way!! Eddie is the man to stay, along with Curtis and Josh. I did hear Curtis say he had packing and unpacking down to a fine art. Guess it's a must "just in case". When Jamie goes next week, it will be fun to watch her haul her excess baggage down the walkway to the gate. Hope she doesn't break a sweat. |
Shmoopie | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 05:18 am  I wouldn't say it spared him... I voted a few times before that, and after that fall, after I calmed down from my laughing hysterically fit, I voted a few more times... and will continue to do so... |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 05:25 am  John....Not in a million years. The race this time is between George and Jamie. George is out. I polls have been acurate thus far, I have no reason to doubt them this time. |
Lynnseamonkey | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 05:32 am  It didn't change my mind from wanting Jamie AND George GONE. Curtis said it all.. it is like a train wreck and I can't resist looking. |
Webrover9 | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 07:00 am  It was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time, glad I had a tape running! No, it didn't deter me from voting for him to go. I can always replay the tape! |
Sparky | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 07:00 am  I laughed out loud when that bottle/"rocket" went to the roof and how all the fizz back-fired onto poor George. Then when he slipped, it was classic slapstick. Yet...I don't see how that inadvertent comedy would change anyone's vote this week. |
Bunnyfoof | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 07:51 am  I laughed when he fell in the shower, but my husband had to leave the room. Get George outta there. |
Petunia | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 07:57 am  I didn't think it was amusing at all - I don't enjoy watching people make fools of themselves. |
Somewhere | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 08:15 am  Mostly, the skit reminded me to cast another vote (my fifth) to banish George from the house. |
Mbliving | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 08:45 am  Did no one watch the live feeds? The TV version missed out the part where Jaimie asked George why BB would not give him a hacksaw. George replied that they were worried about him cutting off a leg. He also mentioned getting back at everyone. The whole version was a little sick, they sure did a fine job in editing. |
Katnphx | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 08:57 am  I'm with you, Petunia. I found the whole thing distasteful. I don't think Jamie should encourage George by participating in these "skits". I don't think George is helping himself by carrying on the way he does when he gets nominated. I just hope he gets out of the house soon and gets in touch with a good therapist. |
Digilady | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:04 am  John, it's possible. Folks sometimes have a fickle memory. Also, TV viewers who don't see the live feeds or hit this wonderful board have only the shows to go by. I hope that tonight's show doesn't put George in such a 'good' light again. I don't have a lot of faith in JQ Public, after some of the past banishments. IMHO,they banished quickly the HGs who would have added a lot of interest to the show. They may well banish Eddie simply for his "potty mouth" (an expression I abhor, BTW). In some minds, a foul mouth against slap stick - would be a no brainer. Tis a pity, but there it is. I'm not saying George =won't= be banished, but the numbers may well be closer after that hilarious shower scene. |
Marysafan | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:04 am  Are you kidding! It made me want to vote again! First of all...I don't find him as funny as he finds himself. Many people are laughing at him not with him. Secondly, Eddie has just spent a lot of time and effort cleaning that shower stall...if it would've been me I would have decked him. Thirdly, did you notice the changes in his voice? His vocal tones were much lower and he used three syllable words with no hesitation what-so-ever, bringing home the point that he has play acting all along. He doesn't deserve to be there...vote him out. JMHO |
Bigbroho | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 09:10 am  I went from liking Georgie to disliking Georgie and after the latest show...... I am back to thinking he is a harmless oaf. The devil woman goes. Long live Chicken George!!!! |
Nance | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 10:15 am  This race is between George & Jamie...I see George in the lead on many of the online polls. Since we aren't sure with the Teresa endorsments I would say this is where Jamie is considered to be targeted by Rockford and several George backers. I don't find George funny at all...just pathetic! |
Marymary | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 10:42 am  I had never voted before and was waffling about it until I saw the skit. Yes I laughed my butt off and then I called to banish the man. I was laughing AT him, not WITH him. |
Creamynougat | Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 11:27 am  >I was laughing AT him, not WITH him. Several people have made this point. But clowns generally want people to laugh at them. George was playing a clown -- the hapless victim of his own stupidity. It's actually refreshing to see George's self-deprecating comedy instead of the usual humor at someone else's expense. This was why so many people were upset with George's RR skits: humor at the expense of Karen in particular, women in general, Arabs(?), and (as it was perceived) the unfortunate victim of George's hunting accident. This time, George made me laugh. Whether it was laughter *with* or laughter *at* makes no difference to me. It was funny in either case.
