Okay, this whole thing is over in a few hours. I've gotten just as testy as most of you have when HGs I like are bashed by "haters." But I am open-minded enough to acknowledge that all of these people are human and worthy of a little kindness and consideration, not to mention respect for putting themselves through this media nightmare.

I don't like Eddie very much. I think he has behaved very badly, but here are five very positive things I feel about Eddie. Anybody else want to try it about the HG they have dissed the most?

1. Eddie really cared about Brittany, and the pain he felt when she left was very moving.

2. Although he can be a bit loud, he is very playful and loving with Pugita.

3. He loves his family very much.

4. He stuck by his buddy Josh and never nominated him.

5. He rarely complained about any physical competition, throwing himself into the activity with sportsman-like behavior.

OK, i'll file it under the heading: "Nobody can be ALL bad".

What's good about Will:

1) He was thoughtful and creative in making and
giving Jamie a birthday card.

2) He is an impressive looking man.

3) He is charismatic

4) He gave due deference and respect to Cass.

5) He is quite bright.

Damn, that was harder than I expected it to be. I wanted to say "but" or "however" after every statement. But I rose above it. Ain't I keen?

Cheers

I really really disliked George from almost the very beginning of the show. But I will admit that:

1) He can laugh at himself

2) He loves his family

3) He cares for others

4) He did something brave for his age

5) He doesn't care what others think

I'm giving up 50% of my food budget. This challenge is just too hard.

Sure, I'll play. I dislike Jamie the most, but admired these 5 traits:

1. She got along with George very well and was alot of support to him when others were looking the other way.

2. She is a very good listener and gives herself wholeheartedly to the person she is with at the moment.

3. She tries not to say anything bad about another person.

4. She has a great figure.

5. She has genuine passion for life and knows what she wants to get from it.

I really disliked Karen. But I'll admit to:

1) She really cares for her kids.
2) She was really a good cook for everyone.
3) She really cared for the chickens and the pug.
4) She was respectful to others with regard to her smoking habit.
5) She is open to participating to almost any activity the others are doing.

I suppose i will have to pick karen:

1) Cares very much about her kids.
2) Took charge of the house and made sure things got done (with help of Cass & George).
3) She did have a sense of humour.
4) Let the "Kids" be kids. (dawn BBQ)
5) Willing to go on the Show in the first place.

That was tough. I really had to thing. Hey Zappre, don't shrinks do this. Look like we do not have to spend the money, we can recuit Rufus. ;)

Come on everybody give it a shot.

Whatever

Karen, ummm...

1. She loves her daughters.

2. She had the courage to leave unhappy marriage.

3. She cared for houseguests by cooking for them.

4. She developed a friendship with a houseguest lasting after they left BB.

5. She became aware that her personality was becoming negative and she should leave the house in a timely manner.

Zappre, you are right, that was harder than you would think. But about your wanting to add a "but" or "however" before and after each one... I would like to point at that Rufusgriswold did just that on her second one- "Although...".

So feel really good about yourself for overcoming the impulse to do so. I do!!!!

This may be the best thread we've ever had. It's a perfectly graceful "full-circle" capper for the whole experience and why some of us are better people for it. Kudos Rufus!

Creamy, I'm with you - I'll give up the 50%. I honestly don't know if I can come up with 5 good things about Brit. Let's see.

1) She... ok, there has to be one. She made the other HG happy when she was in the house.
2) When she feels loyalty towards people she seems to be very loving.
3) She was very kind to Pugita.

Sorry, I sat here for quite a while and I really can't. I wish I could, I tried. Bye bye grocery budget! :(

Wow, great thread! I think Jamie is:

1. Very driven-good thing
2. Open to connecting with others no (mattter how misguided)
3. The Bob segment almost made me like her, very cute
4. Her composure at banishment announcement
5. Her willingness to go for her goals regardless and hopefully she will see that perhapds BB was put in her "path" as an opportunity to grow and learn a liitle more about herself and others, for growth is the key to life.


Thanks for the thread Ruf

Okay, Eddie is not the one I disliked *most*, but he's the one I'm most disgruntled with right now, because he's going to take the win from my boy Curtis. So...

1. He never begged out of any activity because of his handicap.
2. He is very loyal to those he loves.
3. He's got more chutzpah than Jackie Mason on crack.
4. He's honest - he had the guts to say he was in it for the money from the very beginning, even in the face of pressure from everyone else to say it was for "the experience."
5. He's got a great sense of humor in general, but esp. about his handicap (IHOP commericals...ROFL!)

Jaime: This is so hard, I may not get through it.

She was, in her way, a calming influence on the house.

She participated in "pajama party" antics with the girls.

She was nice to the dog.

Sorry...I really tried.

This was a good idea Rufus!! :)

Jamie:

1. She is trying to be a good person

2. She was awfully kind to George even when others ignored him

3. She was sweet to the pug.

4. Very driven

5. Also very focused

Ok, with 7 minutes to the show, I will think of five positive thinks about Jamie:

1. She was devoted to self-improvement.

2. She was a good listener.

3. She wasn't swayed to become someone she wasn't like in the house.

4. She genuinely tried to give good, compaasionate advice to Jordan and Josh.

5. She never seemed to judge anyone and accepted all the other hgs for who they were.

Dear, dear Brittany.

1) Loyal to Karen.
2) Still admits to having fun with Jordan.
3) Not afraid to have an opposing viewpoint.
4) Not neurotic about weight/body issues.
5) Likes to laugh.

Phew. Can I go now?

Let's hear it for Jordan:

1. She wanted to talk about substantive issues with the houseguests.

2. She had the courage to leave a job she had come to despise.

3. She has a wicked sense of humor.

4. She is a disciplined athlete.

5. She identifies with outsiders.

On the other hand.....

My overall problem with the people on the show would have to be that most of the twentysomethings have very little interest in persons or issues outside of themselves. Just like when I was their age! (for the record, I am a fortysomething).

Ok -- I'll do this because I think it may be a good life lesson and after just snacking at my cimputer for 3 months I could really do with giving up 50% of my grocery budget.

Karen

1. She really loves her kids.

2. "This is so not right"

3. She apparently is a good cook.

4. She had the courage to stick to her decision to start a new life.

5. She was fun at the dawn BBQ's

Whew.

After tonight I think I might dislike Jordan the most. But since I've disliked Mega for so long, I'll just go with him...

1) He's not afraid to express his opinions
2) He *does* has a soft side (ex. the conversation with Cassandra, when he cried)
3) He was very gracious tonight (saying Eddie was a good competitor, saying BB taught him a lot, etc)
4) He's intelligent
5) He was kind to Jordan when she needed it

Karen
1) She loves her children
2) She is a care-taker
3) She took care of the boys
4) She tried to quit smoking
5) She means well

I disliked Eddie the most out of the guests ever since the show started.
The things I like about Eddie:
1) his sheer will to succeed. To accomplish what he has done now and previously in his life, he has to have an incredible amount of determination
2) his bravery (he doesn't seem to fear anything, good and bad thing I guess)
3) his hobby (bars, lol)
4) his charisma (when he wanted to be, Eddie could be very charismatic. To me, it kind of made people forget about his not-so-charismatic moments. Not many people can pull that off!)
5) his accent (love it)

I'm trying to think of which HG I disliked most. In different ways I like them all. That wasn't always the case. So I'm going to go with the HG that ticked me off the most which is George even though I don't really dislike him all that much:

1. He loves his family and seems to be an excellent husband and father based on their reactions and support of him.
2. He truly cares for Eddie and would do anything for him. When Eddie fell on Thursday night's episode George literally came running to help him. George just loves Eddie like a son and that's wonderful.
3. No matter what happens he laughs. He got angry at the banners and kept it in check.
4. He volunteers a great deal of time at his children's school which is VERY admirable in my book.
5. He goes on television in not only a toga but a chicken suit with wild hair. He'd do anything for a laugh and loves entertaining others and making them laugh.
