Very well stated Noslonna! Couldn't say it any better myself. Eddie is my favorite, he's honest and real. He's there to play the game and I hope he wins.:)

"Feedmealine: Let me get this right, in your opinion a crippled person that is nice and respectful to others wants sympathy? "

Gezzz
That is not at all what I mean.
I am also disabled, an I don't go around cursing and swearing, nor am I overly nice to gain sympathy.

All I am saying is I know what you go through coming to terms with your life changing at a young age.
It takes a lot of agressive attitude to keep going when your getting beaten down by things that others take for granted.

The greatest battle with yourself is being "viewed" as wanting sympathy. I know for myself, I try to avoid that as much as possible and use terms that aren't acruate, such as I'm okay, I'm fine, when in fact I am not fine. But I try very hard to make other comfortable with me, when they show they are not.

I'm not answering this right I'm sure. Part of my problem is thinking clearly and expressing myself also. So forgive me for not makeing my post very articulate as others.

To end this before I get way off and sound like Eddie, I'll just say that no one in our situation wants sympathy. It makes us feel even more of an outcase. Weather nice or nasty, we each make our point. I was trying to show my respect to him and that I know from walking the walk that he is to be admired.

Forgive me for rambling...and for stepping on your toes...at least you have them.

Nuf said. I will no longer post my view here for I seem to never say the right thing, even when trying to say something positive.
Ryn you can deleat my name from your site...I have enough battles with out coming here for more.

Feedmealine: Don't go away!
No matter where you go, you are going to find jerks just looking for a fight. They get on my nerves too, but I try to just ignore them.

For what its worth, I appreciated what you said.

Feedmealine: Well, I'll I asked was a simple question to clarify a statement that I felt was outrageous. I respect your position and realize that everyone's life experiences are different and thus the way that we each view something can be different also. I would urge you not let other's opinions affect whether or not you continue to post on this board. The nice thing about forums like this is that EVERYONE gets to voice their opinion.

BB would be so boring without eddie...my husband and i both LOVE eddie..from the very start he has been our favorite...he's probably a little too rough around the edges for many but the edman is a-ok in this house...he makes us laugh a lot and thats a very nice gift...THANKS EDDIE!!...we'd be proud if he was part of our family...he's got a great spirit and like my hubby says..eddie keeps it real...when we look at him we don't see a crippled/handicapped/special needs(whatever the PC word is suppose to be)person..we see a young man wise beyond his years with a good heart....GO EDDIE!!!

I hope Eddie wins. He is the only TRUE person in the house. You always know where he is coming from. Yeah, he is rough but that's cool. He is the only person in the house I would be friends with.

Count me in as a BIG Eddie fan. :-)
He makes the show fun to watch and his politically incorrect remarks make me laugh every day.
He is refreshing.
He is sexy too. :-) (bonus points for that)
He is the best.
He also seems to be the only one who understands this is a game show while I am just waiting for the others to join hands and sing: "we shall overcome". :-)

Feadmealine, as with a couple of other posters who have thought of leaving, I can only say that if that is truely what you want, then that is waht you should do. I like to see posts that are thought out, funny, provoke thought etc., including the ones I don't agree with.

In the case of this thread, I'm an Eddie fan, so most of what I read I like (even though most seem to be women, and whay I like him is different that what's been said).

I go along with Chris (and usually do!) that I'd like to see you stay. If you can, I'd enjoy seeing more of your posts. I notice that Novasea (another Eddie fan by the way) has chosen to stay, and feel BBFC is better for that choice.

Pick which you need to do for yourself--either way I support you. In saying that , I hope to see more of your posts. (hey, we need all the Eddie supporters we can get!)

Feedmealine- Don't go! I thought your post on Eddie was very well said. There are always people who have to start trouble, don't let them chase you away!!! I kinda see it like the BB house. We are all stuck together in this message board, we have to deal with each other. Don't walk out! I WANT you to stay!! Don't make me start a Feedmealine Love Thread!!!! :)

Fenixtx,let's put this up to a bad day..to much stress from BB Okay?

I guess I get a little defensive sometimes, seems to go with the teritory, and that is not a good thing. I am sorry to have taken offense of your opinion.

Now to Lancecrossfire, Rmgreco, Chris, Thanks for the kind words and thoughts.

I will do my best to not upset the boat with what I have to say, as I have said some unkind things about Jamie, and I am sorry to the supporters of Jamie for that. We all have to play fair and give each other space to state our opinions.

Any how....thanks for the kindness and forgivness.

YAY! I am SO PROUD of Eddie! I'm so glad he nominated who he did because it shows all those Eddie-haters that he wasnt dissing Curtis. And it shows that Eddie is staying true to his word and playing the game how it should be played!

And just to mention, I LOVE this thread! I'm so glad I started it! I wasnt sure if it would be popular because slamming the HG's seems to be much more popular. I'm so glad that so many of you love and admire Eddie the way I do!! YAY to all of us!!

Tonight was the best show yet. Everyone who said Eddie would never vote for George were wrong.

This is my first time posting here. Just wanted to say that I find Eddie wonderful. He may not be perfect, but none of us are. As the sister to a guy who shares the same disability with Eddie, he gives me hope. Eddie happens to be the only real reason that I watch this show. I find it refreshing to watch how Eddie handles his disability and I have much admiration for him.

To Feedmealine, I read both of your posts and I thought you did fine. It is very tricky to explain how you feel and where you are coming from. I have difficulty in that myself. My brother is still in the bitter phase and I think that is why I find Eddie so comforting. But I really cannot explain that, no matter how hard I try. As much as I think I know what my brother has been through, the truth is that I don't really have a clue. I can only hope that he will one day adjust as well as Eddie has.

Even if Eddie gets voted out this week, and I hope not, he is still a winner in my book!

Eddie's my favorite. He's funny, honest, straight-forward, and good-hearted. I'm not one to get over-sensitive about hearing swear words. I've been known to say a couple myself once in a while. In fact I've met very few people who have never let one slip. (People in glass houses...) At the very start of the show, I didn't like Eddie at all (or Curtis so much). But it didn't take time to "get to know him/them" and he/they grow on you. Amazing how wrong first impressions can be. Now that I think about it, I have totally changed my opinions. At first I liked (in this order) George, Josh, Karen, Cassandra, Jamie...Now I only like Eddie and Curtis (Cass but she's gone). Josh, I didn't like for awhile, but he's OK now. But I no longer like Jamie or George. I don't hate either one of them, but I want my favorites to win. George is really wigging out and getting annoying to watch. Jamie seems phoney and self-centered. I suspect she is not being totally honest. She seems to have a wall around her true self (24/7 make-up, not letting her feelings show to the cameras, and when she does express concern to others it doesn't seem sincere). It's hard to get close to, and eventually really like someone who keeps you at arms reach. I suspect this may be why she isn't as popular as some of the others. Sorry, don't mean to go on, but the reason I don't like the others as well, explains why I like Eddie and Curtis so much. They seem to be the most "real" and ones I would most like to be friends with or talk to.

Exrx66...Thanks!

Well I feel the same way. I hope Eddie can stay for the winning round but if he doesn't than he's still a huge winner!

He's done great things for recogonition for any one with a disability. And actually the trash talking may have had a some what positive spin for showing others as your brother that it's okay to just say what you feel.
If you go though life trying to be all things to all ppl you won't ever be happy. You have to be true to yourself.

Don't be to hard on your brother, it takes sometimes years to adjust if you ever really do.
The flairs of anger come on when you least expect them. Sometimes just letting go and speaking your mind help. I'm not saying that it's the best way, but sometimes it's the only way to deal.

My prayers are with you, your a great sis I'm sure. He's lucky to have you for support. Just listen to him, no you can't know what it's like, but you can listen to him and that's a greater help.

BTW my husband now thinks I'm obsessing over Eddie! I truly believe he's jelous! LOL
He sees I can connect with Ed and I understand him. But he feels left out of the circle of understanding....now isn't that ironic????

Hugs to you and anyone dealing with this issue...thank goodness for Eddie or we would never have a greater knowledge of each other!

Hey, my mom feels better about supporting Eddie now that she knows his mom is going to wash his mouth out with soap

He has a good heart. He loves his family and that's who he is there for. Go Eddie!

I wanted Eddie to show is strategy and show it strong. I believe he did, and held to his word. He also didn't seem to take it personal or "give it personal" when he nominated. In his eyes I bet he does see George and Jamie as two with the potential to win (although let's face it--from out of the house they all have that potential).

If Eddie believes half of what's being said about George's voting base, it may explain why everyone voted for him---behavior of George aside. If you aren't voted to be banished, you can't be banished. They just can't roll over to it!! (ok, that was really MY opinion)

Nice piece on him tonigt. Not bad timing to show him in a light by those that know him best.

Well, judging from this thread, you guys have to admit that because of Eddie we got a chance to talk to each other and share our thoughts and views about people who have disabilities.

I have another take on this issue:

As I have watched Eddie I have begun to face my own behavior. I am also considered disabled, and I've been known to take advantage of people's sympathy for my own gain. My philosophy was, if people are stupid enough to feel sorry for me than they deserved to be screwed.

But I've watched Eddie and I see this guy who was gone way beyond "pulling his own weight". What he signifies to me is someone who not only does what is needed to get by, but really, seriously strives to do better and achieve more.

And that is so cool.

I've come to reexamine my own life after watching him and question how complacent I've become. That's why I adore him.

By the way, did I forget to mention that my son Eddie is getting soap in his mouth when he gets home.


Oh dear. Will this be before or after he hands you the 500 k cheque?

Will this be on the Internet live feed?

Hater.

I also adore Eddie.

I love his brash sense of humor. He's an equal opportunity offender and will take shots at everyone including himself. You have to love that! (People who don't find him funny need to grow a sense of humor!)

I also think he is mature and wise beyond his years. I can't even believe he's only 21. He seems so much more mature than Britt, Jamie, Jordon, and Josh. He appears to have taken the tragedy in his life and learned valuable lessons and moved on.

I respect how he has handled himself in the house. I laugh at almost everything he says. And I find him extremely sexy and attractive.

Go Eddie! Win it all!

Feedmealine- My husband is WAY jealous of Eddie too!!! Cracks me up! He is obsessed with Drew Barrymore, Tyra Banks, Brittany Spears, Halle Berry, etc....
All I have is Eddie and RIcky Martin that float my boat and he is all defensive about it! A very jealous boy! HAHA! He refuses to watch BB with me anymore! :)

Eddie is my favorite, although he wasn't at the beginning. As the show wore on, I think it became apparent that Eddie was the only one who wasn't putting on an act and also the only one that realized it was a game. He is much wiser than the average 21 yr old. I really admired the way he jumped in and picked up other chores when Cassandra left.....even though getting up in the morning obviously is not his favorite thing to do.

I hope enough people see past the gruff exterior so that he can win.

YAY EDDIE! A great site to visit is: http://members.aol.com/EddieFanClub then click on pink info line to newcomers for Eddie's family's website. I loved this site & my hubby did also. We have both been cheering for Eddie to win! Isn't he just the greatest young man! GO EDDIE!!!Elizabet

Eddie has always been my favorite since day one. I think he's incredibly attractive, and reminds me of all the men I'm friends with rolled up into one.

I like how he changes his mind, but then see's the error and goes back to his gut (walking out of the house)...

I like how he loves Pugita soooo much...

I love how he gets up every morning to clean the chicken coop now...

I love how he puts Jamie in her place (sometimes, not enough IMO)

I love how he talks to Big Brother. He respects the game, and respects their role in this. I can't wait to hear his interview after the show, and see what he thought of it all.

I love that he gives credit where credit is due. His mom, his dad, his brother, his coaches, his doctors, his team, etc.... what a great guy.

I have a big crush on this guy, and I know in the beginning he talked a lot about wanting to be an actor. Unlike Jamie he rarely, if ever, mentions it now. I hope someone in the entertainment world picks him up and gives him a job. I'm in radio, and he definitely has what it takes to be a star. Confidence and quick wit is key!!!

Eddie, if you ever read this, congratulations on being a great character in the BB house. And can I be the first to congratulate you on the big money you've won!?!?!?!?!!!? :)

Oh--stop getting your knickers bunched up...it is obvious from most of the boards that Eddie is not going to get banished and is probably going to win.

He is out there and gets reactions--that the Eddie we love and the Eddie we hate. As with Brittany---ya either love me or hate me---there is no middle ground

Eddie is the favorite HG in my house. My husband, my daughter and myself all live to see what he'll do next.

Our favorite Eddie moment is when he was talking to the camera about pizza. "Look at me when I'm talking to you." "Can't eat on the job...sucks to be you." We still giggle every time we see that.

I'm bummed that the finale won't be longer so they can share some of these moments in the studio with the HG once they leave the house.

We'll sure miss him when the show is over.

I keep Live Feeds running almost all day on one computer in main part of our house. Through out the day one of my kids or hubby laughs at something they hear Eddie say. I am the only true BB addict in my household but all in my family have enjoyed a smile or laugh because of Eddie.

Thankyou Eddie. Love ya! :)
