Asutrnr | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:04 pm  What Eddie did was nothing more than just play around humor. He is one of those guys that loves to wrestle, and horse around. He wasn't meaning anything by it. I have a 22 year old younger brother who is, like Eddie, a college athlete. I have worked with 'boys' like that for the past several years and I can tell you. That is just boys being boys. He didn't mean any harm at it all. Jamie reacted the way she did - probably because she just isn't used to that kind of behavior. I can assure you - the first time I started working in the football complex - I wasn't sure how to react around them either. |
Bunnyfoof | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:04 pm  When I saw it on the show, it just looked like silly guy stuff, something your brother would do. It was goofing around and didn't strike me as wrong. The show is boring. |

Zappre | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:07 pm  Wow, Whatever. As I started to read your post, I thought perhaps we finally agree on something. Finally, an enlightened opinion from you. Then, as you often do, you went from having a different (and valid) opinion, to insulting the intelligence and family background of those with whom you disagree. My friend, that behavior is, to use your words describing Eddie, no less agressive, dysfunctional, harassing, or unacceptible than Eddie's childish conduct. What a shame to ruin a good point with a bad attitude. |
Smrtass | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:08 pm  Whatever, amazing that your functional family produced such an unhappy adult whose purpose in life is to scorn everyone else. |
Deeya | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:08 pm  I think Britt did enjoy Eddie's physical "aggression".... she continued to play with him.. time and again... and has said over and over since she left the show that she really likes Eddie... do you think she would say that if Eddie upset her with his play? Jaime and Eddie have been living together for 3 months... they aren't strangers... I managed a male dorm (yes I am female) when I was in college.. and the guys thought nothing of throwing me in the pool to celebrate a successful fund raiser.. I sure didn't take it as abuse.. even though I was screaming and hollering the whole time they were dragging/lifting/tossing me... (and they weren't my brothers either.. and I hadn't known them more than 3 months) |
Whatever | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:09 pm  Karri- "guys hit girls in the arms when they like them" That behavior may be acceptable in very young children, but in the year 2000 it's unacceptable for anyone older under any circumstances (except, perhaps, with the girl's express consent, and even then it is very dysfunctional behavior). |
Petunia | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:06 pm  I agree with you John. |
Deeya | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:10 pm  I think Britt did enjoy Eddie's physical "aggression".... she continued to play with him.. time and again... and has said over and over since she left the show that she really likes Eddie... do you think she would say that if Eddie upset her with his play? Remember Britt horseplaying with Josh in the pool withing the first month?? Jaime and Eddie have been living together for 3 months... they aren't strangers... I managed a male dorm (yes I am female) when I was in college.. and the guys thought nothing of throwing me in the pool to celebrate a successful fund raiser.. I sure didn't take it as abuse.. even though I was screaming and hollering the whole time they were dragging/lifting/tossing me... (and they weren't my brothers either.. and I hadn't known them more than 3 months) |
Whatever | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:12 pm  Deeya- Guess you didn't see Brit very UNhappily examining her bruises and contusions. Based on your comments, your judgement is highly questionable and not to be trusted. |
Kokomo | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:13 pm  Some of these responses are downright scary - we don't *know* these people - all we have to go on is what they say and do on our little screens. I don't know what Eddie's intentions were - but I don't see how they can be dismissed so quickly either. |
Rmgreco | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:14 pm  Whatever- I can post authoritively on the subject because I have been in the situation MANY times. And I kicked my brothers,cousins, friends butt and we all had a great time!!! And my family is just as dysfunctional as anybody elses but that doesnt happen to be part of it! Seems the majority of posters grew up this way too. THANK-GOD! |
Whatever | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:15 pm  Zappre- I was insulting no one. Sorry if you or anyone else feels the need to interpret my statement in that manner. |
Heavensgatebb | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:17 pm  What kind of a reaction do you expect from a grown woman that still calls her mother 'mommie'. Btw, Brit DID love horsing around with Eddie. |
Prince | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:17 pm  Jaime though is an only child and has never had guy roomates until this show. I think that should be taken into consideration when evaluating what Eddie did. |
Whatever | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:19 pm  Rmgreco- Thanks, your comments support and illustrate my point better than anything. |
Deeya | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:20 pm  Whatever... really? I find it interesting that after exchanging two posts with me.. you "jump" to such a conclusion about me.. Disagree with me all you want... it's your right... I do wonder how you became such a wonderful "judge" of character... I guess that I just joined the ranks of the crowd that Whatever has a problem with.... If we divided the posters into two groups would we end up with Whatever on one side.. and 99.9 percent of the other posters on the other? |
Really | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:20 pm  Sour-puss-Jamie-stick-in-the-mud Couldn't get a reaction even with a thud So why belittle Eddie for being a playful young guy Guess it's easier to be a whiny-wuss than to have some fun, oh my! God forbid someone should do anything more than be a bore! I find Jamie's behavior more unacceptable than Eddie's. At least I would know where I stand with Eddie...with Jamie - she's the kind of person who would stab you in the back or poison your food and act like she was the one rescuing you. Pullleeaase! Oh PS about "our scary Eddie" - didn't the show start out with him putting a red ribbon on his mask in memory of AIDS victims. Oh, he is truly a vicious person with unacceptable behavior. Let's crucify him!!! Piff on ignorance! |
Smrtass | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:21 pm  Bruises AND contusions, Whatever? You really have a way with words and phonemic sequential paradigms. |
Katie | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:22 pm  The problem of what happened with Eddie and Britt is that her mouth said no but her actions said yes. She was always yelling at him for it and telling him to stop it but she would also instigate it. |
Rufusgriswold | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:23 pm  Deeya -- Congratulations, you'll be invited to the Whatever's Enemies List Party after the show ends. You must be soooo proud. |
Karri | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:23 pm  All I'm saying is when it was happening, she expressed a desire to know what he was up to and not so much fear for herself. The others did not demonstrate concern. Considering that Curtis (and probably Josh) have a thing for her, they wouldn't tolerate her actually being placed in harm. If she did not demonstrate fear or real aggiatation, then there is no reason for us to. She just kept on eating and ignored him. The show tonight did not show the events in order in which they occured. I certainly do not advocate any abuse or contact other than consenual when it comes to males and females. My sons are not allowed to rough house with their sisters. My first marriage ended quickly due to physical abuse (There I shared with you all..I must be being my "real" self), so I certainly wouldn't advocate Eddie's behavior. But it seemed to all there and involved that it was nothing. I was uneasy, but I have to assume those involved know how they feel. |
Mbliving | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:24 pm  Whatever, do you watch the show? Brit loved to fool around with Eddie. She has stated that she wants him to win. They were a riot to watch together. The rest of your comments are just ridiculous and not worth commenting on. |
Zappre | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:28 pm  Whatever: What color is the sky in your world?? You were insulting no one? So far, in this thread alone you've come up with compliments such as: "your judgement is highly questionable and not to be trusted" "a lot of you Eddie supporters are from somewhat dysfunctional family environments" "It's difficult to decide which is sadder- that you feel that you can post authoritatively or knowledgeably on the subject or that anyone listens" In English, we call these insults. I just don't get why an obviously intelligent person resorts to demeaning those with opposing views. That tactic undermines your credibility and demonstrates a lack of confidence in your own argument, which in this case, was entirely correct. If you can muster the strength, hold off on defending yourself for one moment and think about whether you can learn something from this. God i hope you get over this hostility because your sadness just jumps off the page. |
Katie | Thursday, September 21, 2000 - 09:28 pm  Karri You are right about the editing. She did just keep eating and she didn't get up and walk away the show made it look. |
