Nsgirl | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:05 am  Did anyone catch the Dan and Scott show last night. Listened to archive this a.m. Wasn't a real big George fan, but I do think he really is just a very simple man. I don't think he had any "plan". As much as I would like to blame Britt's banishment on him, I don't think his wife is solely responsible. Speaking of Britt - that photo of her and Curtis is great. She really is quite gorgeous (so is he). |
John | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 11:21 am  I listened to George's interview as well, in fact, I had to keep pausing it because my connection was bad, and has been to Eyada for several days. |
Prince | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 07:02 am  TV Guide article courtesy of Sissy57 in the Anne's Chat board Karens TV Guide Article By Ileane Rudolph When Karen Fowler saw the "Big Brother Wants You: ad in her Columbus, Indiana, paper, she got goose bumps. "I thought it would be so cool." she says. She didn't know she was about to change her life dramatically. Or that, on national television, she'd rip the mask off her "loveless" 22 year old marriage. Happily for the producers of Big Brother, Karen's confessions-she called her husband "cold and controlling: and said she had an extramarital affair--were dynamite in a house that gave off few sparks. Viewers wondered: "Would she have a breakdown? Would she reconcile with her husband?" Six weeks later, she was off the show. A weeping Fowler, 44, begged to be banished from the house because she missed her four children. Whether in books or on talk shows or reality shows, keeping things to yourself has become a thing of the repressed past. Fowler doesn't regret her candor. "Everybody in the house was applauding me for having this long lasting marriage," she says. "I've been honest all my life, and I knew I had to be with them." These days, Karen lives in a rented Burbank townhouse with her daughters, Jill and Ashley, 15(her son Jeremy, 19, will join them in December; Nathan, 17 is a student at Indiana University. Trim and energetic, she show off fan mail and her Big Brother audition tape complete with scenes of her taking a shower and posed discreetly on the toilet. "I didn't have any privacy at home, either," she says, with a laugh. Her eyes well up only when she discusses her husband, Tom, a 45 year old accountant, from whom she has just legally separated. Her girls are her staunchest defenders against charges from viewers that she unfairly bashed him. "Nothing you said hurt us," Jill says, taking her mother's hand. "The only thing that bothered me was when you cried about having left us." Ashley, though, has one complaint. "The teary-eyed person{CBS} showed is not who Mon is. She's very strong and loving." Yet, despite the "skewed" editing, says Jill, "I appreciate what CBS has done for her. It's great to see people waving to her, complimenting her. She never got that from our dad. Mom did everything for us. It's fun for her to be the focus for a change." Karen suspects that the Big Brother producers milked her melodramatic potential, asking questions about her children that would make her cry. But she admits, "I set myself up for people to judge me." Fowler's Big Brother housemate, Brittany Petros, who is living with the family until she can find her own place, says the show "jumped on the marriage thing. You got this image of a backstabbing, husband-trashing person, but she's really open and giving." That Karen chose to vent on TV is not as peculiar as it seems, suggest Elizabeth Levy, a family therapist in Horsham, Pennsylvania. "if you're that desperate to break away, there are no boundaries," Levy says. "When you get no support from your husband, it's not surprising that you would use Big Brother as group therapy and {express} your rage." And there could be benefits, she adds. "The show may finally have enabled her to move into a more empowered position." But what does the man who took all the knocks have to say? When reached at his Columbus office, Tom Fowler would only say,"I've put all this behind me." The Fowler women are trying to put their troubles behind them, too. Thriving on every smile, every "I love you, Karen!" sent their way by passersby, they exude a kind of giddiness. But how long can this euphoria last? Karen may have tried to reinvent herself, 21st-century style, on television, but unlike the wildly popular Survivor cast, she has yet to cash in on her TV stint. She's auditioned for an independent film producer and appeared on Cybill Shepherd's syndicated talk show Men are From Mars, Women Are From Venus." An agent told me that my 15 minutes of fame are down to six." she says with good humor, adding that being "an unfaithful wife" doesn't make her a role model. Fowler has just started work as a receptionist at an audio-video equipment rental company in Burbank. And when the fans forget her, will the upheaval precipitated by Big Brother have been worth it? "In the house I realized that I could stand alone," Karen declares. "When I said, "This is my life, and I've got to do something about it.' I hope it helped other women. I've done something for me for the first time in my life. And my family will benefit from it." |

Rockey22 | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 04:41 pm  You beat me Prince. |
Prince | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 04:46 pm  LOL, Rockey22, just beat you to the news by two minutes . Also on the same bigbrotherupdates.com website, People Magazine has now put on their website a poll for the sexiest man alive. Well, as you can guess, the Big Brother fans are pushing for the boys. Josh, Eddie, and Curtis (George? or Mega?). So to go vote People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive Poll: URL is: http://people.aol.com/people/spa/sma2000/poll/index.html Note: You can vote multiple times, just don't use some sort of robot/script. So why not vote for all 3 or even all 5.

Jana | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 05:23 pm  ok.....so...a new, you know when you are a BB addict..... when you ask a question to George on the Eli show and completely forget that you asked it and then you go back on a Sunday and hear the show and all of a sudden they ask a question to George from Jana in Texas who lives near Kemah and you remember...oh yeah........ |
Rockey22 | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 01:22 am  Get back to me if they is ever a poll for the sexiest women alive. My choices for bb females would be Britt and Jordan. Cass and Karen - simply an age issue. I'm 26 year male i never was interesting in oldier folks on the show except for perhaps Karen from time to time. Jamie - sorry i don't like girls who wears lots of makeup, needs to be done in moderation. |

Prince | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 10:57 am  The Brittany chat on the Eddie Rocks website has been moved to 7:30PM ET according to the site. Editorial note: Many people in other boards are skeptical about this chat. I guess I am too. I'm just providing this as a FYI. |

Debi4514 | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 03:19 pm  I don't know who Scott is, but Michael Flatley is the guy who was in "riverdance", and started "lord of the dance".He holds the record for fastest feet! |
Sparky | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 03:33 pm  Well shut my mouth! |
Prince | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 04:04 pm  Scott Cohen according to Internet Movie Database was born in 19 December 1964, The Bronx, New York, USA, Nicknamed "Mr. February." by Entertainment Weekly, Feb. 2000, due to his numerous appearances on TV that month. Played Wolf in the 10th Kingdom. Seems to have developed an Internet cult following.
