JOSH <- already a winner
Whit4you | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:37 am  I think Josh is already a winner, regardless of the outcome of this game. Didn't really know him the first few shows but it irritated me so much that Jordon and Brit tried to make him out to be a villian because he was acting interested in both of them. They convinced him that he was in the wrong and I am so glad that he lasted long enough that he didn't end up walking out of the house on that note. As the weeks have went on I've been VERY impressed with him. He's very willing to be himself, to open up and to show emotions. He has alot of integrity and is a very caring person. He's not self-absorbed and out for himself at all cost to others. Did you see his face - when everyone BUT him was marked for banishment? You can see how deep he is and how caring a person he is just watching his face. I believe there wasn't one shred of his being at that moment that was concerned with the fact that he was one step closer to 500,000. I wont go on with my impression of the look on his face that whole time - but there was a whole lot there and none of it had to do with his own self-interests. It was the same thing at the table when George realized that all 4 of them had marked him for banishment. Watching his face - brought tears to my eyes. Curtis, Jamie, and Eddie had alot going on in their looks too (guilt/concern that Georges hysterical laughter was a coverup/worrying about their own nominations and so on and so forth) Honestly I don't think I'm "reading" anything in here. I think if they took the three or four minutes of video of his expressions - took them completely out of the context, and asked 100 people to describe what that person was feeling/ thinking etc at the time and most of them would read the same things I did. All the others were trying for Georges sake to pretend that it was o.k. Going with Georges response since they believed that's what George seemed to want, to make light of it. Josh couldnt do that - 4 votes - all 4 of them voted for george - his eyes, his expression was that of extreme worry/ guilt and compassion. I think Josh is a great guy - and will have a great future. He's already a winner. I only wish that I could speak to the guy - because I am concerned about him in one way, and that is how easy it was for those two gals to convince HIM he was in the wrong (cause he was "playing" both of them) Had he walked out then - he would have walked out dejected/ and feeling bad about himself and what HE did. I worry about how easily they convinced him, and worry that will happen in the future. He's a great guy, seems to have a heart of gold and the next time others are trying to convince him he's done something wrong/ or is bad (a girlfriend/ boss etc) I would like him to really think about it before believing it. I am hoping Eddie wins the game - Josh is already a winner - 500,000 will not make his life any better then it already will be. |
Motoole | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 05:02 pm  Good, then vote Josh out, since he's already a winner! |
Curtismaximus | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 05:44 pm  i agree...josh is a together person and he has alot of opportunities set outside for him. i don't think leaving the show will hurt him and he can totally handle it because he's a very bright person as he has touted himself many times. let's help josh out by voting for him. i'm sure his neice will tell him how proud she is for him...WTG josh! josh, you will have no problem finding a job because there are so many things waiting outside for you. i'm sure you will make up the 500k so that you can send your neice to a fine college. hooray, you're already a winner! bye bye josh! |
Brzer | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 05:51 pm  Yes, help Josh by voting for him! He more than anyone else in house needs to be in fourth place. |
Shemoves | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 06:06 pm  Vote Josh out! I think he should take some risks without having to drink to get rowdy. I agree, he needs 4th place since he doesn't care about the money or the tv.....which he lost since Curtis won that challenge! Good going Curtis! |
Nan | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 06:06 pm  If anyone wants Curtis to win at this point they NeeD to vote for Josh! The race is very close between the two of them for first place! |
Carrie | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 06:13 pm  I think that Jamie should definitly get the boot. I think everyone should stop picking on Josh. Personally I don't care how the order goes for the money just as long as Eddie, Curtis & Josh are the final three. I would love to see the look on Jamie's face when she found out that she is the on to go I think that would be worth the $500,000 in itself. |
Prince | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 06:24 pm  I don't understand how this thread turned into a vote out/hate Josh thread. Jaime is most likely going to get booted out now anyway. I'll be surprised if he gets over 10% of the banishment vote. |
Bali | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 06:28 pm  I don't hate Josh--I just think he's the most innocuous, bland, uninteresting, dull hg of the four left and therefore the least deserving of the prize money. I'm voting him out. |
Rmgreco | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 06:40 pm  My opinion of Josh just rose a whole bunch with tonights show.He used to annoy me because he seemed so dim. BUT tonight, He showed so much glee in being the sabeteur. Also it was so sweet the way he tried to help Eddie and Curtis win by doing the clock in front of them and then asking them questions about it!! Very NICE! And lastly when he talked about Brittany and how he is going to request that she be there when gets out. I'm so happy that Josh is going to win something. |
Bali | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 06:57 pm  LOL Rmgreco! Also he said on tonight's show that he didn't care about winning the Trinitron TV, he was just having fun! He's such a nice guy in that sense, no ambition, no desire for material things...even if I'm sure his niece would have enjoyed watching such a cool tv... Yes, he's a winner--by not winning the game. Go Josh! |
Donnalea | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 07:13 pm  I don't think Josh will win the 500k but he is certainly deserving of it. He seems to feel deeper than Curtis, Eddie and Jamie, and is always looking out for their feelings. He has nothing to worry about re: Wednesday. Jamie will be out of there. I also like him because he worked at Taco Bell. It's a hard job and most people won't "lower" themselves to work at a place like that. He has a strong work ethic. |
Bali | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 07:23 pm  It's interesting how people can come away with such different perspectives..."feel deeper than Curtis, Eddie and Jamie"?! Funny, I always felt the opposite. But again, just goes to show you how differently everybody perceives the people on the show. Tons of kids have worked at fast food places. I don't think it's anything special if someone has worked at Taco Bell. But whatever. |
Avalonsparks | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:32 pm  Josh is a really nice person and I think he feels things deeply too. He doesn't like to hurt people's feelings and he never gets defensive. I'm so happy he's going to win either first or second place. |
Motoole | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:52 pm  Vote Josh out, he doesn't seem to need the money. He's told us all that. |
Jimmer | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:07 pm  Motoole: Let me guess ... You're very subtle but you really don't want Josh to win do you? |
Chixdigeddie | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 11:44 pm  whit4you-i think josh is a nice guy and all i want him to get 2nd place,but i didn't see what you did in his face,you might be reading in a little much there, no one can really know what he was thinking but josh himself and...can you honestly say that he did no wrong in that whole brit/jordan fiasco? did you see the guys audition tape where he said he was bringing in lots of condoms for his stay at the house?...don't you think that kinda contradicts the angelboy image you seem to paint of him?..i do feel for him when he breaks down and crys..i just don't understand him though...seems like he has trouble making a clear point when it comes to his feelings...anyone else feel the same?....i do think maybe this has been a growing experience for him and of all the people that say they are there for the "experience" in the house,i believe him the most..it might not have been the original reason he signed up for the show but it just worked out that way |
Whit4you | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 12:46 am  No I don't think he did ANYTHING wrong in the Brit/Jamie situation. HE was a single man - he liked them both, showed an interest in them both. THERE is NOTHING wrong with that. Jordon had a BOYFRIEND - she had NO right to assume because he was flirting with her - that he had no right to flirt with Brit as well. Had BOTH girls been single - he would be foolish to flirt TOO much with both of them but still not WRONG to do so. Nobody OWNS him/ or his actions simply because he's flirting and showing an interest. When they confronted him I was shouting at my TV - for christ sake! Jordon DISGUSTED me at the time - I would have LOVED to see her boyfriend sitting beside her as she confronted Josh because he was "playing" them both. Unless or until a point in time came where some real (falling in love) type feelings were to get involved he had every right to show an interest and flirt with ANY and all females he wished too. Jordon was the ONLY one in the wrong here - how DARE she treat him like he'd done something wrong by leading them BOTH on - I have to wonder if for ONE second she thought of how her boyfriend might be feeling - sitting with his family and friends and watching his girlfriend in a catfight over another man in front of millions of viewers. If I were Josh - my response would have been"Gee I'm sorry you feel that way - I liked you both - showed an interest in you both - there is no need to worry it WONT happen again - because I've lost ALL respect for you - and no longer have ANY interest in you, hopefully your boyfriend can help you work through the pain I caused you - by being interested in another woman" I don't have a problem with Brit's part in this - she had a "thing" for Josh - got caught up in Jordon and Karen's game. Had she had some time to THINK for herself, I doubt she would have been a part of that pathetic scene in the bedroom. |
Boogie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:30 am  As some of you know, I love Eddie... but I like Josh, too. He seems shy, but still good at heart. I'm a fan, and hope he finishes in first or second!!! |
