Eddie's Unfair Advantage: He's Censored:
Archive through September 24, 2000
Bigbored | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:10 am  I get the sense that Eddie will win, because he has the most support from people who will vote FOR him in the final round, even though a lot of people would vote AGAINST him too. I cannot stand his foul mouth. There is no decency in interjecting vulgarities and obscenities into every discussion. It is degrading to everyone with whom he talks, and degrades all communication. However, Eddie has the big advantage, that his actual words have been censored by CBS. If viewers actually heard those words come out of his mouth, he would not be popular. |
Katie | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:13 am  It is the way they censor him that is helping him. It is the silence. If they put a beep instead, it would be easier to see. |
Franny1 | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:15 am  ummmmmm..didn't I hear Curtis and Josh swear this morning? (and many other times too) Not all the potty talk is coming from Eddie. True he has made some of these words his normal vocabulary, but I think that is based on where he is from. He wasn't raised in the country or suberbia. My question is what that has to do with how he has played the game. Don't honesty and sincere caring have anything to do with it. Some people have chosen to bash him for things that he thought were jokes. |
Mbliving | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:19 am  I think we can all agree that Eddie swears too much. What surprises me is how much Curtis and Josh (but more Curtis) are swearing. I can't believe how often Curtis has used the 'F' word in his conversations lately on the live feeds. Eddie is corrupting them all.  |
Rufusgriswold | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:19 am  Franny, no one will ever convince you on this subject, that is clear. I'd really be curious to see how you react in daily life when others speak to you like that. I've lived in New York for a quarter of a century and no one I know speaks like that continuously. You're obviously much more open-minded than I am. More power to you. |
Tawny32 | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:20 am  Franny1, I agree with you totally. Eddie has a foul mouth but I think he is a decent person and has played the game well. He had a goal from the get go and he is or may be in the final three. I really believe Eddie has used has heightened his potty mouth to be more offensive as a way to keep a distance and even offend others. I guess it worked. I really like Eddie a lot but I admit his mouth and some of his ways drive me crazy but overall I look at his heart and the way he played the game and I hope he takes 1st or at least 2nd. JMO..... |
Whatever | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:21 am  He was also instructed by CBS in the early weeks of the show to stop using a banned racial term and to stop saying racially-insensitive remarks. Without the CBS coaching, he would not be in the house after the first month. |
Kuh | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:26 am  Eddie has not played the game well, I don't know where you people come up with this. He sleeps all day, he hounds and hurts the dog, he's constantly using obscene language, he's made racist jokes, he's an all around jerk, not to mention his tiny penis. Jamie-bashers, 'welcome to my world', as Eddie would say. |
Tawny32 | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:33 am  Kuh, you are welcome to your opinion as the rest of us are to ours. BTW who gives a *hit about Eddie's penis? YOU???? LMAO. And, obviously Eddie has played the game quite well because he may walk away with a lot of money. So, don't give me that bull. Welcome to Eddie's world. |
Donnalea | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:33 am  If you can't deal with someone saying the "F" word maybe you should be watching Seasame Street with your four-year-old. I'm tired of TV, movies, etc. getting watered down because a few cry babies want to see the latest Tom Cruise movie but can't stand a french kiss or someone telling someone to F-off. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T WATCH. Put up or shut up. Etc. Love, Donna (I'm 30 and I can handle it, why can't you?) |
Franny1 | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:35 am  Kuh, why don't the other hgs stop this abuse? Because unlike some of you they see it for what it is....joking....lighten up. Oh, and by the way Rufus, I do very well on the outside. I work in an innercity school (how do you know it's not NY)and have students who are young Eddies, who trust, and respect me because I don't judge them on their language. I help them become responsible young men and women who will give the world someone to be proud of. I have received many letters from past students who could have gone to jail thanking me for understanding them and not sweating the small stuff. Looking below the surface at their true worth is important, they learn in due time when and where the language is appropriate. |
Rufusgriswold | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:37 am  Donna, you go, girl. All of our TV shows should have Eddie's language. Then it would be real! |
Kuh | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:38 am  Tawny32 - Eddie has a tiny penis, I'm only stating fact. Don't work yourself into a lather over it, it's not worth it. Eddie is also crude and insensitive. He walks loudly and carries a small stick. Jamie-bashers, 'welcome to my world'. |
Nance | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:39 am  Fanny I agree with you!! Rufis back at-cha you aren't going to change people's opinions either so stand by what you think...as I will stand by what I think....as Fanny is standing by what she thinks. And ........WhatEver where is that posted about Eddie what is your proof ? Please...... Go Curtis , Go Eddie , Go Josh !!!!!! |
Kuh | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:40 am  Jamie-bashers - It's time you take some of your own medicine, Eddie can handle it. Welcome to my world. |
Wendy | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:43 am  Yes, Eddie does swear too much. It's too bad he doesn't get that profnaity is best used for emphasis and gets irritating when it's used too regularlly. But he has also said that, compared to the guys he hangs out with on Long Island, his swearing isn't that bad. So, I'd say, it's a cultural thing. And as far as Eddie having an unfair advantage because he is censored... Oh please!!! Anyone with half a brain would get that he swears a lot when they notice every second word out of his mouth "beeped" out. Everyone knows about his overuse of foul language. |
Whatever | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:47 am  Nance- CBS issued a press release, there were a number of articles. It might still be on www.salon.com. It was reported in quite a few news sources, some of which were linked in past threads here that are either archived or deleted. It was a big controversy at the time. |
Mbliving | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:47 am  Your world seems a little confused, Kuh. This thread is about Eddie's swearing not Jamie bashing. |
Kuh | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:47 am  Wendy - Using 'culture' as an excuse for Eddie? Excuses, excuses...Eddie has no excuse for his disgusting language and his disgusting attitudes toward women and minorities. He's even been accused of torturing the dog, he's cruel and should be banished. BTW, I realize he's only attempting to make-up for his own shortcomings. Welcome to my world. |
Fruitbat | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:48 am  Eddie will grow out of the constant swearing. He is 21. My boys went through it. (not to this extreme) Maturing and environment have contributed to the expletives settling down to a dull roar. (they are out of college now) Some are offended by the F word and some are not. Just doesn't bother me. It's just a word. |
Petunia | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 12:05 pm  >He wasn't raised in the country or suberbia. I'm really glad you brought this up - from what I understand, he was raised in Commack, Long Island. Commack is the essence of suburbia and at this moment the lowest priced house on the market is $234,900 (the average home costs $323,000). It has an extremely low violent crime rate and it's non-violent crime rate is below the national average. Two thirds of the households have incomes of $60,000 or more and the lowest economic bracket (only 8%) pulls in at least $30,000. It in no way could be considered the 'inner city'. To use Commack as an excuse for his vulgarity is an exercise in pure fantasy. |
Kokomo | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 12:37 pm  Perhaps if Eddie is out with a bunch of his buddies spewing offensive remarks using fowl language it's a "cultural" thing. But he is living in a house with a lady, and in this scenerio, it's just plain bad manners. |
Carole | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 01:06 pm  <Eddie has a tiny penis, I'm only stating fact. Don't work yourself into a lather over it, it's not worth it. Eddie is also crude and insensitive. He walks loudly and carries a small stick> Why is it the puritanical posters who are so offended by a swear word.. always say the most offensive things? |

Wendy | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 01:20 pm  Oh my God, JuJu...I can't believe that thread was deleted!!! WTF is going on around here? I thought it was an excellent idea and a good place for us Eddie fans to reminisce about Eddie moments. Geez. To all those criticizing Eddie: I adore Eddie, but I think at least 99% of the time he is all talk. There's a big difference between someone who says derogatory things and those who, say, join the Black Panther organization to act upon their words. Do you know what I mean? I wish you wouldn't take every last word he says so personally. |
