Wendy | Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 05:39 pm  Did you guys laugh as hard as I did when Eddie looks at the dog after she barked and voaclizes Mega's famous line, "Don't write checks your ass can't cash." That was priceless. |
Canuck | Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 05:43 pm  Eddie is great. He's the only REAL person on the show. No pretences with him. |
Nina | Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 06:09 pm  Eddie is the only reason that I cannot drag myself away from this craziness. Why do I endure watching a show that so badly p****s me off? Because in the end when Eddie wins it will all be worth it. |
Wildcat1 | Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 09:05 pm  I think Eddie is an OK guy. Alright, I admit that he is just a bit too free with the expletives but hey...he's a guy, even I use the F-word when I'm not around my kids. The live feed shows that he has a good heart. Watching him talk to Chaquita, even with telling her how F***ng ugly she is and all...he does it in a baby voice..its just his way. He's the kind of guy who *IF* you are his friend, he would lay down his life for you. I know many people like Eddie and if you don't really know them, they come off as rude and obnoxious. I think that's part of why Eddie and George have some bond. Eddie sees George as a good guy (father figure) and George gives Eddie the time of day..so to speak. |
Flint | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 07:06 pm  Was I surprised to see that Wendy started this thread? Nope. ;) He can be pretty funny, by accident or design, at times. |
Sher | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 09:59 pm  I have really grown to love Eddie. I like his lines and he's a good story-teller (unlike some people...not mentioning any names). But I also see his softer side, especially how caring he can be, i.e the night he brought Brit a comforter when she was sleeping in the LR with Josh asleep on the opposite couch. Then gave Josh the finger. Maybe it was just a joke but I took it as "C'mon Josh you stupid ****, don't you realize this girl likes you...do something, she's hurtin'!!" |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 12:46 am  I give Eddie credit for three things. First, as far as I can tell, he hasn't lied to anyone. (someone who can get the feeds please correct me if I'm wrong on this one) Second, he has the best game face of anyone in the house. Jamie is second, although most in the house won't realize that for awhile. Third, when Britt pulls the "poor me" act on him, he puts things back on her to deal with. |
Lyrea | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 05:50 am  I'm looking for the right thread to post this observation - hopefully this is the one. Has anyone else noticed that Eddie spends alot of time in the guys room? (ok, it's kinda obvious) What I'm getting at is this: - Eddie spends time in the guys room under the pretense that he's not feeling well. - The rooms are not sound proof by any means. This is proven by the HG's comments and the TV show where everyone is in the living room talking about the "either or" questions. Eddie comments on one from the guys room and the whole time they are talking at a normal voice level. - Jamie and Curtis had their discussion about the "family alliance" while they were in the LR. - Nomination time comes and Eddie votes for Jamie and Curtis. - There have been alot of other little indicators but I can't remember them all. Anyway, I think Eddie's way of "knowing his enemies" is being "out of sight, out of mind" by hanging in the guys room and then listening while the other HG discuss "stratagies" in the comfort of the LR. Does anyone have any theories on this? |
Chris | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:04 am  Makes as much sense as the other theories I've read. The @@@@@@ may be an @@@@@@, but he ain't stupid! |
Eddieluver | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:18 am  You know at first I hated Eddie and I was voting that he would be out of the house. I have grown to love him and he is so sweet at times especially with Britt. If only they would realize it? *sighs* Oh, but besides that he has this tender side to him that is so endearing, and the fact that he doesn't sit in and listen to everyone's conversations is GREAT! By the way, that blows your theory about him doing that. Eddo has had his strategy from the get go and he won't be influenced by anyone. Of course, Jamie annoying him left and right could be enough reason for him to nominate her again, but I think he did that just because he had his picks and that was that. Eddie is NOT stupid that's for sure but I do not think he's vindictive as let's say JAMIE has turned out to be! He's a good guy who's there to win the FAIR way! The reason he's stay in the room is because he wants to be away from that talking behind others back crap and I do NOT blame him! If that's his strategy then I say go for it sweetheart! You're bound to win that way no question about it! GO EDDIE! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:01 pm  Eddieluver, et al IMHO It would seem that Eddie and Jamie are the two with the beast game plans. The plans seem to be opposite of each other in nature. Eddie plan is to be straigh forward, rough around the edges (His true self on this one) and approach everyone and every situation in the same manner. Jamie on the other hand maks calcualted approach changes as the game progresses. At first everyone thinks she is a space cadet without a jet--in fact she was just sitting back and sizing everyone up to figure the next move. She's gone on this way the whole time. Notice who she gets involved with and the manner she does it follows the changing surroundings. The one thing she's done that I'm not sure about yet is her talk and approach to Eddie. Did it just happen that she became interested in Eddie, or does she realize that Eddie is her toughest competition and is figuring out how to deal with him later??? (a shot in the dark on this possibility) Without regard to any of this, it is clear he is gaining popularity with posters on this and other sites. |
Losty02 | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:33 pm  Lancecrossfire you have Jamie's number. Jamie is a professional competitor and she sees Eddie her main competition. She dosn't want to be 1st runner up. The other hgs havn't seen how stong and smart Eddie is. He is the best player because he knows, like Jamie, that this a contest not summer camp. As BB began to increase their control over the hgs, Eddie is the only one to ventilate at BB and often ignore BB directions. When told to go bed 2 nites ago, he told BB that they were dicussing things and would go bed when they finished. Brit stated "We are going get in trouble over this." Eddie replied "What are they gonna do, lock us up?" {one my favorite Eddie lines} |
Eddieluver | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:34 pm  Lance I agree with almost everything except the theory that Jamie is smart enough to be that calculating. No, I don't believe that for a second. Yes, she's manipulative but the ONLY reason she is getting away with this agenda is because of the sweet, innocent look. I look that way so I know how that game is played. No one suspects someone that sweet and cute. They must be thinking about puppy dogs and love. *L* People can be so naive. However, if they would wake Jamie is hinting clues all over the place. She goes from person to person to talk about EVIL Karen. That's not smart and if she were TRULY smart she would hint and not come straight out about how she feels. Yesterday, she did the SAME thing with Brit about Eddie? Ahhh, I think Eddie has caught onto her strategy and manipulations and the rest, however, so far are clueless. She's ONLY getting away with it because of the way she looks and that voice. Believe me, I can't believe I can attest to being like her which makes me ill but those qualities I have bigtime, and when I get upset everyone pats my head and says oh you're so cute. See what I mean? That innocent look fools a lot of people for some reason. In that house, I could win no question about it. No one ever suspects the quiet ones but in the end they stab you in the back most of the time. However, I would be a little smarter about knowing that the public is the one that will vote me out if I don't keep my annoying mouth shut. Jamie is oblivious to this factor which is going to hurt in the end, and also leads me to believe she's not that smart of a cookie. I can't believe Curt hasn't noticed this! He's a lawyer and can't use deductive reasoning to see that she's playing them for a fool? What about Cass? She too is consoling poor Jamie because she feels bad. Be careful Cass you may be next sweetie! |
Biggrandmother | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:54 pm  I'm so glad to see this message thread--I love Eddie because of the racist jokes he tells. Nobody else in the house would have the balls to tell a joke about "nigge*s", knowing that they are being watched 24/7 except for Eddie. He's not *being* racist, he just knows that racist jokes are funny, right? You'll never see Karen telling funny racist jokes, that's for sure. She's a neurotic mess! GO EDDIE! BTW, the L.A. Daily News has an article on them here: http://www.dailynews.com/archives/2000/08/06/lif03.asp |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:55 pm  Eddieluver, you may well be correct about how sharp Jamie is, for it could just be working for her at this time with the approcah she has chosen. I'll still stick with my first thoughts though, agreeing with Chris about Jamie. (well at least till I see more evidence of what your insight is) If I have to eat crow in the end on that one, you will be the first one I come to for a serving. (gotta show you respect for calling me on it) Your comment about the sweet and cute issue. Couldn't agree more that for those blind to it, that can work to her advantage big time! One of te reasons I think Eddie is a true game player is beacuse he has been looking at everyone and sizing them up--just like Jamie has been doing. Eddie has seen that this is part of Jamie's game (IMHO) and isn't letting that get to him. Where I work we call it the "girl deal". So many fall for it (especially guys that have some of their blood traveling south instead of to the brain) because they just don't see a quiet, young "defenseless" woman as being any threat. In another thread, I predicted that Cass will most likely be there for the final 3. I'd like to ammend that to "possibly be there". One thing that may work against her isn't so much her approach with Jamie. It's more that she doesn't "relate" as well to the others. George is getting away with that because he's doing the "hey, I'm an older guy that's really a kid at heart." I propose the following opinion, and would love to hear feedback from anyone with a different take. I believe Eddie voted for (and will continue to do so) Jamie and Cassandra because he knows/believes they are the two strongest competitors for him. Thoughts anyone?? |
Eddieluver | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 02:30 pm  Lance: He voted for Curtis though! He's going after Curt for that comment on his Papa. I honestly think that Eddie is in the "family" mindset at this point. His family includes the following: Geo: His pseudo father who is always there to care for him. Reminds him of his real father which he has said many times. Brit: A pseduo sister who he adores but hey I think he likes her more than just a sis, but is afraid to aproach the subject because of her obsession with French man. Please I can't take anymore his damn accent! It is so bad. Karen: I know you're all going to shoot me for this but I believe it. She's his mom in the house. She makes him cocoa when he can't sleep and talks to him a lot. She gets to open up and he admires her love for her children. Cass: Almost like a family friend perhaps an Aunt? He likes her and talks to her a lot and that is working for him right now. Josh: Once again that is his pseudo brother who he can relate to and talk about deep stuff rather than with Curt. He likes Josh there's no doubt about it. However, I DO think that if it came down to Britt or Josh to vote on he would choose Josh. Eddie likes Britt A LOT and doesn't like the games Josh is playing with her feelings. Now, here are the two that don't add into the family equation. First we have Curt who messed up with that comment on poor Geo's intelligence. Sorry Curt I love you dearly and completely but Eddie adores his family. Then we have Jamie who is like a puppy dog following him around asking him question after question. Eddie just doesn't like that and she shouldn't be bugging him. You can't keep pestering him like that and expect not to be nominated sweetheart. Just my observation of course but I think that Eddie is playing the family strategy and will continue to until the bitter end. Gotta love him for sticking to the ones he loves. |
Chris | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 02:38 pm  Biggrandmother: I will vote against Eddy because of that joke. Not just because it was crude and insensitive, but because it was a stupid TACTICAL mistake. (this IS a game, and that was a blunder)Even if he isn't a racist, and was just seeing how much he could get away with from the other HGs (one of Eddy's favorite pasttimes), he should have recognized just how much it would cost him if he ever comes up for nomination. And I intend to remind him of it with my vote. |
Eddieluver | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 02:48 pm  Chris: I have a question for you. I am not trying to change your attitude because I believe racism is totally wrong, but have you ever made a joke or laughed at one that was about women? |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 03:11 pm  Eddieluver--I stand corrected about who Eddie voted for. Thanks for bringing that correction to my attention. Nothing like having what seems to be a great thought and having it be ruined by facts!! (damn I hate getting things mixed up). I still gotta go with Eddie being aware of his competition. Now I have to go back and re-think why Eddie may have voted for Curtis. If you are correct (there are a lot who believe that father-son thing is going on), then Eddie may have let some feelings get in te middle of his game. Not good or bad in terms of who Eddie is (I consider it endearing of his to feel that way IMHO). George hasn't yet been put in too bad of a light ny the other HGs, so at least so far him letting feelings into it hasn't hurt his game. I'm not going to shoot you for thinking Karen as a mom figure. It looks that way at many times. Also, I believe (although have no hard proof to back it up) that Eddie actaully likes everyone in the house. Just different degrees about how he relates to them. Eddieluver, I undertand why you asked Chris your question. As a separate issue, I believe Chris is correct that telling the joke was a big tactical mistake in the game plan he has. I see Eddie as a Don Rickles type as far as his humor. (at least that's first impression I gather) There are those that will vote against him for doing as such on TV. For that type of humnor done incorrectly, the best negative view he can hope for is inconsiderate, insensitive. Worst is being called racist. The latter and former have happened already. We shall see what the HGs think after the obvious choices are booted from the house. Chris, though I don't think Eddie is really a racist, I respect your choice in picking why you'd vote him off if given the chance. We all have things that get to us easier than others. And after all, for as good of a game plan as he's got going, he did shoot himself in the foot. (although all of them have done that to some degree!) |
Chris | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 03:20 pm  Eddieluver: Why not a joke about men ? Lancecrossfire: And with only one foot, he should have taken better aim (sorry, couldn't resist. I know. Bad Chris. Bad! |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 03:30 pm  Chris, I learned awhile bck when reading messages on BBB board to never put food or drink in my mouth. Monitors and key board would need replaced! Yours is one of the best LMAO one liners to date!! Tears cleared now, and I will resist running (hopping) with that one. DAMN!! Ok, now I won't go anywhere with it. I am kind of hoping someone else does, as there are so many possibilities. For all Eddie lovers who thought I slammed him with my comment, it was not meant that way. Just couldn't let Chris be bad all by himself. If it helps, I'm pretty much bald, so if you feel the need for revenge, go ahead. It's fair. |
Eddieluver | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 03:36 pm  Chris: Because if you are talking about other guys then men do that constantly. However, if you are making jokes say about women's physical features or how they protray themselves then that's not any better really. What I'm trying to say is that I understand COMPETELY your distaste for that side of Eddie, but he comes from NY and in the NY everything is a joke. I have known quite a few NY's who live where I do and they are very crass people, but in the same breath can be very entertaining and sweet as pie! |
Chris | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 04:37 pm  Eddieluver: I think we all take things a little too seriously. I honestly do like alot of things about Eddy. I think you missed the whole joke, but anyways... We think everything in NY is a joke, too, but were surprised to hear a NYer say it! |
Flint | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 11:38 pm  I would have to disagree that jamie si only "getting away" with her plan because of the "sweet act". The others are so wound up in the problems of the house I don't think they notice. Karen is busy having a breakdown. Most of the others are busy trying to do what they can to help her through it. Or at least lessen the damage to them from it. Add to that the past distractions of Will and Jordan, and needing time to get over it and relax. Then throw BB into the equation. They are starting to come of as the enemy in some respects. (ie Mandatory bed time) And a 1 min phone call isn't nice, it is bloody cruel. Of all of the house guests, except maybe Cassandra, Jamie's "plan" is the most subtle. Some of them are probably just too wrapped up in other things to see it yet, or too dim. I liked your point and comments though. One of the things I hadn't really thought of (since I mentioned being dim ;)) was the whole pagaent process she is used to. It is supposedly very cut throat, and sneaky. Makes one wonder (with your prodding) how that shapes her plans. Thats just ... My 2 cents |
Losty02 | Sunday, August 13, 2000 - 12:04 am  Have any of you known a NY like Eddy? He has gone through a lot at a early age. He is what he is. He understands the Game. He is the best player. You may be upset at his language, labeling, and seemingly insensitive attitude. The real Eddy is much deeper. He knows what he is doing and will make it to the final 2-3. He has inspired Curtis to began to ventilate against BB. Lets hear it for Eddy!!!! |
