Fruitbat | Wednesday, September 06, 2000 - 02:50 pm  Zelda! Thanks! I'm going to the transcripts now and listen for awhile. That's my boy! Love Cass too. They make a great team. Maybe alliance time is coming for them. The two of color sticking together. |
Zelda | Wednesday, September 06, 2000 - 03:06 pm  Fruitbat: Did you catch Cass & Curtis talking this morning I think... Cass was wondering if it bothered Curtis if she included him as a person of color....it was a good conversation. Cass said she was thinking about it in bed last night. The CC alliance-I'm for it! |
Sammy | Wednesday, September 06, 2000 - 03:26 pm  Curtis is wonderful in my book. He was really pretty cute the other night watching his video -- he was so embarrassed when they showed him singing! (Did anyone notice Eddie's face at that time? Eddie looked like he wanted to blurt out something nasty about Curtis being ... er ... less than a manly man!) Eddie has no respect for Curtis, but I think Curtis could hold his own in a one-liner competition against Eddie -- without using one nasty F word!! Funny -- Eddie and Curtis have been my favorites for a long time -- but Eddie's getting kinda old lately. Banging on the pots and yelling B*tch work was just a bit too stupid for me. Can't wait to see who's nominated tonight! And, I'd hate it if they bring in some 'stranger' into our family!! (Yes, yes -- I need a life!!!) |
Curtismaximus | Wednesday, September 06, 2000 - 09:56 pm  OMG curtis does it again! he just figured out that britt wanted josh to tell the HGs what she told josh in RR but that josh decided not to tell them. 500 reasons why curtis must stay in the house! |
Shipwreck | Wednesday, September 06, 2000 - 11:03 pm  He did it again. He told jamie he thought maybe the banished house guest may be influencing the vote on the outside... Amazing, how does he do that? |
Joynow98 | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 12:55 am  So far I think Curtis has the most integrity of all the houseguests. I really like him and he's far from boring now that he has opened up. I hope he wins. |
Curtismaximus | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 01:05 am  Has anybody noticed that Curtis gets discounted for what he has deduced by the other HGs.. And Eddie will chime in wayyy later to take full credit for what Curtis has already talked about...ie: not talking about nominations, money incentitives to leave, and alternate coming to replace, etc... Please take note of this because Eddie will do this again and again... i hope i'm not the only who noticed this. |
Ccc | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 01:14 am  It's normal human behavior. Intelligent people say things, then the slower folks come up with it later. I had a boss like that once. Whenever anyone had a good idea, it was ignored. About 3-5 days later it would be his bright idea! We just played him and it kept the business thriving. After the good ones (incl me!) left - it only took a few years before the guy was out of business. |
Alfredo | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 07:40 am  Ccc: Did we work for the same guy??? |
Zelda | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 09:08 am  Ccc... I knew we had a lot in common! |
Merrymayhem | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 09:15 am  The guys in the house know who has the brains of the "family". I guess by the way the all voted last night, they see Curtis as a threat. I love to watch his face because he is always thinking. He will be a good lawyer. Very analytical. But the best part is that he is a nice person. He appears to be someone who has scruples. Unusual combination of traits for a lawyer. His parents should be very proud. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 09:32 am  Thanks Zelda...I'll go look for that conversation again. Couldn't find it. Do you think it will be possible for Curtis to figure anything out about the Josh/Brit conversation? He told Jamie, yesterday I think, that he was closer to her than anyone else in the house and could see them having contact on the outside. (I don't think he has had the attention of a pretty, sexy woman before. He would have figured it was out of his league. I think he has considered himself a geek in the past) OK, given all this; what will he make of the situation? He knows Brit likes him so there should not be paranoia about himself. Brit choosing Josh over Jamie is not that signifigant because she had a little something going with him. Curious that Jamie is surprized by that choice, actually. In fact she is freaked. This may hold the info for Curtis IF he can get past the white bikini out of his mind and see through the haze of lust. He just needs to look at WHY Jamie is so freaked and there lies the answer. I'm rooting for him. He will not be banished this time but it is crucial for him to get George and Jamie on the block next time. Guesses about what he can figure out and can he act on it, please. |
Jaybear810 | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 09:51 am  Jeeeeez guys! Sorry but you are going nuts! Wow! Curtis "deduces" that 2+2=4! Holy Cow! Curtis "perceptively cogitates" that the Earth revolves around the sun!!!! Jeez Louise!!! Curtis "divines" that an alternate will be brought into the house if someone took the money and ran!!!! You folks are trying to turn this guy into some kind of latter-day Nostrodomus!!! If he's that smart how come he hasn't figured out jaMiE? |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 11:37 am  Jaybear. Onna counta that white bikini. It's a testosterone thing. Hmmmmmmmm, am I right to assume that Curtis gets your vote? |
Nishy | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 12:35 pm  Jaybear: You're right. Curtis is no match for that intellectual wizard you support, George. |
Bigbromo | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 02:16 pm  Ok, so Curtis is the smartest in a house full of idiots. That doesn't make him a genius. Besides, he isn't intelligent enuff to figure out that his phony laugh is a turn off. And he didn't take the money. |
Bluejay | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 02:43 pm  Hang tight Curtis fans.......he WILL figure out what is going on outside the house. |
Zelda | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 03:09 pm  Fruitbat I can't believe I just had a great post for you and I lost it. uuhhgg. So I will try to summarize... So right on with you questions and theories with Curtis. He is a bit smitten and yes, I think because he has had his head in school and doesn't receive this kind of attention... He's a great guy. On the astro take. He is a Scorpio; a great detective, suspicious and never forgets. Aries rising; a kid like awe, loyalty to a fault and can get upset or mad but quickly forgets and forgives. His sun in Scorpio though will always doubt or play the other side with his decisions. So that is what he is working with. Britt explained (or came the closest) that it is a different world in the house so the environment will keep those 'Jamie colored' glasses on unless she does make a big slip. I think he does see through it to a point but it is not strong enough to over ride his feelings and loyalty. I think he sees through George but again in the situation they are all in, they have decided that it would be better to keep it on an even level. Everyone (except Jamie-I don't want to be mean but she is too busy worrying about herself to wake up) treats George in a child like way. They would call him on things but then they have to deal with the fallout - literally so they choose to over look and just deal. Curtis is constantly making comments on the stuff he observes with George. I do hope and think Britts decision to choose Josh might wake up something in Curtis. Give it time. He always seem to figures things out but the HGs are good at saying....'no, I think' and then later they get it. So if he figures it out, keeps to himself, he will build a good case. Jamie will be busy with Josh I think and spend less time with Curtis so maybe that will give him the opportunity to step back and use that great detective - lawyer head of his. By the way, I am so glad we get him in LA. We could use a decent lawyer in this town Did you find those convos yet with Cass and Curtis? |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 04:48 pm  Zelda...yeah, I did find it....thanks. Neat people ,those two. Brits' comment that the air in the house was different and when walking out the front door is profound. Eddie said the exact same thing. I can almost feel how difficult it is for them to get any perspective at all. We cannot comprehend how bonded they are against BB and the entire experience. Given this, Curtis is doing an incredible job. He is a delight and a dear soul. I think it striking that everyone seems to love or at least tolerate George and not be annoyed by him. This is signifigant. I know he has supporters but lets look carefully, for a minute. He puts most us off, to a great degree. To the edge of repulsion and beyond, actually. The HG's seem unaware of his ignorant, obnoxious and extreme repugnant behavior. It does not equate that ALL HG's, being very different, would react this way. Zelda, think about this for a minute. I find it extrordinary. It speaks to the conditions and enviornment there. There is no one there that is expressing intolerance?! In "real life" I am concvinced that they would react very differently. Thanks for the astrological perspective. |
Annika | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 04:59 pm  Well Guys, Within the last hour or so Cass and Curtis were having an intense conversation about house politics, and when Jamie came in they quickly changed the subjuct to Pugita and her training. Those Jamie colored glasses may be coming off as we speak--hard to tell. As far as the "phoney laugh" -- It's a nervous habit, like nail biting. I have a close friend who does it, and yes, it is annoying. But not phoney. We all have nervous habits--compulsive behaviors that for some reason reduce anxiety for us. Laughing just happens to be his. |
Zelda | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 05:28 pm  You are so right ... if it was 'real life,' no telling how things would play out. They have spent 66 days together and have united as one. So interesting! The US BB has gone a different path and we the viewers had a lot to do with it. The audience has voted out all the controversial characters and we are left with a group of similar characteristics. Don't want to rock the bout mentality. All united and are pretty strong... I don't even think BB expected it. I find it in a way, hopeful. We might be complaining it is boring but we were screaming when it was controversial ... so much to the point of ousting the Hgs that were causing trouble. (the Britt thing might be a diff. story...I am not sure) So you are right when you say this is an extraordinary situation. It says so much more than we think. We should be in a way happy that this has unfolded. Have hope for humanity. It should tell us how powerful and loving we can be in a 'family unit' JMO Curtis is great and I think he is an old soul. I so hope he is in the top 3! |
Bb1234 | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 05:32 pm  Annika: I totally agree with you what said. How can a laugh be phony? A person can be phony but Curtis is not. So I'm not sure what the deal is with these phony laugh comments. |
Zelda | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 05:33 pm  Annika... You are right on with the nervous laughter. We all have our little nervous tics! |
Bigbromo | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 05:42 pm  If Curtis were here, he'd say: HA! HA! HA! |
Annika | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 05:47 pm  Bb1234 & Zelda, Thanks Guys. I've noticed that he doesn't do it as much around people he likes and feels comfortable around--namely the women. All of the men want him out--always have--and he knows it. They should have put another Guy from a similar backround in there. Also, he only affects that annoying Britspeak around the guys or the group as a whole. I guess he knows they feel threatened by his intelligence, so he tries to hide it under that goofy fake French accent. And yes, he is an old soul. So am I, and I know how hard it is to find other old souls in this crazy mixed world of ours. Sob! Ok, I'm embarrassing myself. I have a crush on him. So sue me. Oh, wait--I guess he could! ;-) |
