George is awesome- so sue me!
Now that everyone has spewed their venom like the crowds in the movie Gladiator; maybe it's time to settle down and realise that it's only a game.
Things are getting way out of hand children...

Poor family man George has been called a liar, a murderer, a nut, a dangerous man, etc. etc.
Why don't we just call him Hitler or the devil himself?
I think the only fault with George has been the fact that he is trying to be funny and entertaining and it is not working because he is neither.
And I wonder if he realises that the majority of people are going to vote Britt off, and like a good man he is stiring up controversy to make the vote at least closer and more interesting.
GEORGE IS THE MAN!

I am tempted to start a new thread for George defenders because after last night I bet most of them will throw in the towel realizing that this man really is too dumb for even his most ardent fans to justify keeping him around.

I propose that we leave this thread for George fans to give their eloquent arguments explaining why what we've witnessed over the past 2 months isn't grounds to be at least turned off to this guy.

Nobody dis' George on this thread. Please.

I really would like to see how his fans think.

Sorry but I honestly don't think that George is smart enough to stir up controversy! I wouldn't necessarily call him a "liar," "murderer," "nut," or "dangerous" but he doesn't help his cause by sneaking around and campaigning for the public to keep him in the house. None of the three ousted house guests acted with such duplicity...not Mega, not Jordan, not even crazy Karen.

I happen to like George. He's the all American Family man, who needs a brake. George has been nice to everyone in the house and now because he is doing the same thing everyone else is doing to stay in the house you people dont want him to stay. So what you want to watch Brit stay in bed all day with Josh? ( but dont forget you'll never see anything she's a vergin remember?)As for Cassandra she has played the game totally cool, as for Josh he got caught up in the Brittany soga, Eddie has a awful mouth but still has hurt no one in the house. Lets give George a chance, It's bad enough he has Airplanes flying around wanting him voted off.

Suebee, I agree. George needs a "brake."

Folks, if you want to bash George, do it in one of the 99,000 other threads devoted to that particular hobby. This thread looks like it was started to SUPPORT George. Have some respect for other poster's opinions, please. Every thread does NOT have to be a complete debate. That ends up being cross-posting which is against board rules. Please let the George supporters have their space.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Suebee, you hit it on the nose. George "needs a brake." He has to stop himself from saying any more insensitive things before it's too late to save himself.

I don't know if this is bashing George or not, I am, as requested, a George...maybe not fan, but I don't hate the guy. If anything I feel sorry for him. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, he's just not too bright, not evil. However, at this point I am hoping he is voted off Wednesday. Not so much because I have turned against him, but because until he's gone it's not much fun to be around here anymore. The villagers won't put out their torches or throw down their pitchforks until he's gone. Therefore for the good of the boards, I hope he is banished.

Hey, wasn't this thread originally titled "Cluck You"? I thought that was pretty original, considering George is the self-professed chicken man. What happened to the thread title?

Jaybear, I feel the same way. I don't hate George - he was my favorite at first, though some of the things he's done bother me and he's no longer my favorite HG. I would have liked to see him stay in the house a while longer, if only because there are others I'd like to see leave first... :) But, I'm hoping he will be voted out this time so that it can die down, like the Karen hatred did. In the end, he's just a man - a man who has obviously made mistakes but also a man who is generally good hearted and loves his family. I truly believe that if he had ANY idea of the hostility going on, he would not still be there - he would be out in a second to take the brunt of it rather than his family having to deal alone. Obviously the public can't save their ire for the man they feel is responsible for it all.

The way he has shown his honest grief at being away from them is heartwarming to me. I realize he didn't have to go, but there are many people who choose to do things yet still have the right to miss their loved ones. I hope that when I marry my fiance, we show as much support for each other and love for our children as they seem to do.

I can respect people who are upset at what George has done, and dislike him or wanted him voted off. And it is a free country as has been stated, and people have the right to speak their minds. What I cannot and do not respect is the one-sided strident militia-type attitude towards hating a man, and wanting to do anything possible to see him ran out of town or burned at the stake. Differing opinions are interesting - but when it goes beyond a reasonable debate and ends up being so venom-filled, it just leads me to wonder why certain people are so completely filled with anger.

Here's hoping that when George gets out - when ALL of them get out - they'll be filled with support from their families and community, and see little or none of the ugliness that's filled these boards and most of the net lately.

George was initially my least favorite HG, but several factors have moved him up to the #3 spot on my list.

First, there is attrition. Jordan was the first to dip below "George level" as she displayed her ugly side. Then, Josh and Brit became just too dumb and annoying, dropping BG (below George) as well. Karen's frequent husband bashing then made her BG, and in recent weeks both Cass (who I like) and Jamie (who I don't like) have gone BG due to simply detracting from the spirit of the game.

Second, as with Karen, I tend to want to defend the guy for what I perceive as overreactions and plain hatefulness of many of his detractors.

Third, and possibly most importantly, is a tactical consideration. Jamie is by far my least favorite current HG, and I view George as the most likely source of her much needed second vote in the next nominations. I think that Jamie's choice of the casting director over her mom bothered George and possibly also Curtis and Cass, but each of the two C's have motivations which could preclude their nominating Jamie.

I agree with Fishhead about his big liability being his overestimation of his entertainment value. So he's not very PC -- good for him. Did he pick on Josh too much? What else did he have to do? This is just another instance of his thinking he's funnier than he is and not having much else to do. Does he disapprove of homosexuality? If this constitutes homophobia, then this term is even dumber than I already consider it to be.

Keep George in to get Jamie out!

I'll take George over Brittany any day of the week. You better believe it. At least George cracks me up with his silly, goofy antics. The three I wanna see at the end are Eddie, Curtis, and Josh. But if George makes it there, I can live with it.

The BB show is for entertainment - ours.... even if George's jokes aren't that funny it's all still entertaining and interesting. We owe all the houseguests (even Mega) a little gratitude for letting us eavesdrop on their lives despite whatever their motivations were for going into the house. They've provided endless hours of entertainment/speculation for most of us on this board since the show aired.

What if one of the banished houseguests commits suicide or goes mental? Does ALL the blame remain with them? Would any of the venom filled posters on any of these BB boards feel the least bit of guilt for whatever role (albeit small) they might have played in it? If something like that actually happened I wouldn't want to be a part of this board or the veiwing audience of the show afterwards. I would feel like part of a lynch mob.

George lives to be liked and when he is confronted with the backlash when he leaves the house I will be worried for him and I hope he's strong enough just to shrug it off and realize that almost every houseguest will have or has a lynch mob. Unfortunately, I think he will be upset for a long time after he gets out.

The more I see of George's actions, the more I see a simple family man just trying to win the money. George isn't very worldly and his main concern in life has not been continual eduation. But, he's probably the kind of guy that would stop to help someone stranded on the road. I don't doubt he would give someone the last 20 dollars in his wallet if they needed it. He's over the top and in over his head and I hope that he doesn't get hurt by this. He worries a little too much and he overreacts but don't all of you agree he probably makes a wonderful father?

Annoying? Yes, but wouldn't MOST good, loving, goofy fathers be a little annoying on TV? Could any of you see YOUR own parents up there?
and....
NO - I'm not related to him!!!!!!!! I posted my own negative views of George on the "George's covert operations" thread, but I've concluded that George is a good guy (although not my hero) and doesn't warrant all the virulent animosity directed his way.

I like George and I really don't care what he FEELS he has to do to stay in the game...just like Rich did, Rudy did, Sue did, Kelly did...Luv'em ,like'em or just leave them be.
This is a game...may the best person win. I am more than happy to watch George, than I am with watching Brittany or listening to Brittany,I can't stand the sex talk and her accents anymore..now she wants a giant swing set in the yard of the BB house, I find Brittany much more of a crude child ,than I find Eddie being crass. Brittany is in a Peter Pan fairy tale, I'll never grow up....totally this is my family you know ? Let her find a real life(outside of BB) with her true voice.if thats possible :( and lets leave George alone !

George is boiling water to wash the dishtowels in.

George poured boiling water in the red tubs and is now stirring the dish towels with a wooden spoon.

George is drinking cold water out of a champagne glass.


Who says George doesn't have a sense of humor? Doing household chores for fellow houseguests, and making the most of the moment.
Love him or hate him, this image is pure George.

I'm sorry, Whatever. The image of George wearing a bikini top, skirt, & makeup is going to give me nightmares.

I chose to hate him.

Banni, as the moderator said, please keep this area for George people. There are plenty other places to voice your dislike. And on that note,Whatever, you talked about George going on doing chores. You failed to mention that the person reporting this just HAD to give their editorial, and make a comment about isn't that the same tub the guys puked in YUK. Well so what, I am sure it's been cleaned out. Geesh, I am getting tired of people bashing George on the live feeds.
CLUCK,CLUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my post to live feeds:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(in sequence, but time delayed)

George came out of RR, Cass asked him about it. Cass asks who was questioning, George admits "I'm not too good with them voices, I don't know who it was." Says it was a nice lady.

A little while later, Jamie asks how was the RR, George? George pretty much says the same thing. Jamie goes on how she wants to go in RR, but it probably won't be the same person and they will be mean to her, but (in affected Brittspeak) if they give her the nice lady she will tell all and bare all her secrets and reveal her soul.

Even later, George is in garden checking out the crops, and making plans and suggestions for making the best use of the homegrowns for their food budget and recipes, and when things will be ready to harvest.


(long ed.- OK, I love George. Contrast his actions with Jamie's and Cass' petty trifling concerns about RR. He's dealing with things realistically and not pissing and moaning about this or that in the house, works hard and show how he cares about the other houseguests' welfare and well-being. )

George conducting the invisible "Happy Aniversary" orchestra/chorus with the fast camera edits was great.
