Eaglemagic | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 11:06 am  Thanks Anne - I know that CNN ShowBiz Today runs in the middle of the night also - I am sure it will be a rerun of the earlier show. |
Boogie | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 11:08 am  Thank you SO MUCH for posting this information! I'm so glad there are people like me who MISS THE SHOW terribly! I want to catch as many interviews as possible! Anne, you're awesome! Thanks! (lots of exclamation points means I'm jumping up and down with happiness for my boy Eddie!) |
Prince | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 01:35 pm  Can someone also please post the transcript of the chat after the show up? My corporate firewall is preventing me from entering the chat. (Darn!) |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 01:39 pm  I'd look at the transcript as well. I'm in the same boat as Prince. thanks! |

Noslonna | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 03:23 pm  Okay I typed the whole thing and then I find out it will be offered in a transcript soon! lol #CNN Studio <CNN-Host> Thankyou for joining us today Eddie McGee and welcome. <Eddie_McGee> I would like to say hello and thank you to all my fans who called in a nd voted for me and stuck with me. Thankyou. <CNN-Host> What made you want to be on Big Brother? <Eddie_McGee> I came in from dinner one night and I turned on the t.v. and saw there was this contest, you know where you put strangers in a house and the prize money turned me on to a half million dollars. <CNN-Host> Question from: <Are> Are you surprised at the amount of Internet support you've enjoyed? <Eddie_McGee> Actually yes. I had no idea the site would be as big as it was and I am glad to hear people turned in and checked it out. I think that is great. <CNN-Host> Question from: <katherine> Eddie what has surprised you the most about the show, or your former housemates since you've been out. In other words, was there anything that turned out to be very different from the way you had imagined it? <Eddie_McGee> What shocked me the most would be Will's support of me when he left the house. <Haley-CNN> For our guests joining us from the CNN.com Web site, if you would like to ask a question, choose a nickname and ask your question for our guest here in the room. <Eddie_McGee> He said that he thought that I wouuld win because I was a competitor and him and I are alike in some ways and I thought he would be bashing me more than he did. <CNN-Host> Question from: <AlanJ> Who is your favorite house guest and why? <Eddie_McGee> My favorite is a tie between Brit and Josh because both of them have great hearts and they are beautiful people. I enjoyed their company a great deal. <CNN-Host> Question from: <FifthDream> Eddie, do you have any regrets, or would you have done anything differently in the house if you had the chance? <Eddie_McGee> No I don't think I would have done anything different. Checking in on the web I said some things that offended some people and I apologize for that. I would retract anything I said that offended anyone, that is one thing I would do. Being goofy at 21 you just don't realize the repercusions of your actions sometimes. <CNN-Host> Question from: <kalekona> Thanks for entertaining us all with all your songs, how did you come by such a wide range of musical knowledge? <CNN-Host> Question from: <gensmom> Have you had any offers to record songs? <Eddie_McGee> No offers to record songs. My musical diversity comes from the people around me. My mom and dad listen to oldies and stuff like that. My brother listens to hard core like Pantera and stuff like that. I listen to AC/DC, rock 'n roll, stuff like that. <Haley-CNN> Eddie McGee, the winner on the CBS reality show "Big Brother" is joining us now to take your questions. <CNN-Host> Question from: <heidiroo> Eddie, have you talked to Monica yet? Why wasn't she there when you got out? <Eddie_McGee> Monica and I have spoken and she had prior engagements to fulfill. Things are a little shakey with us. The future is uncertain to tell you the truth. We have a lot of communicating to do between each other and I hope for a good future for us. <CNN-Host> Question from <briee> If you had not been a contestant, would you have watched the show? or is that not your kind of thing? <Eddie_McGee> I probably would have watched just to see, just to see how real people were being. You know, do a comparison of the first 2 shows to the last 2 shows. <CNN-Host> Question from: <Anne> Is there a chance CBS will show a reunion and update of the houseguests? <Eddie_McGee> I don't know. I am uneducated with that. If they do I would be more than willing to participate. <CNN-Host> Question from: <divinebutterfly> What was the first thing you ate/drank coming out of the house? <CNN-Host> What did you do with your first day out of the House? <Eddie_McGee> Actually to tell you the truth I didn't eat well into the next morning, I was too upset and the adrenalin was too much to eat anything until the next day. <CNN-Host> Question from: <AshleyGatorgirl> What do you want to do most with your new fame, model or act? <Eddie_McGee> With my new fame I will wait until I see opportunities arise. <Haley_CNN> Please ask your questions for Eddie McGee right here in the room. <Eddie_McGee> If there is some room for me in front of the camera I will do that but I wouldn't mind working behind the camera either. <CNN-Host> What do you hope that people learned from you as a person? <Eddie_McGee> I hope that people learned from me as a person that God forbid, that someone you know or love becomes disabled, that there is life after disability and I personally stress wheelchair sports because that worked for me but it is not limited to just that. And to everybody, just get involved with something, no matter what it is; athletic, music, art, whatever if may be and stick to it. Stay away from drugs and alcohol because they will do nothing but rob your body of it's natural abilities. <CNN-Host> Question from: <Are> What did you think of the aerial assault with all the banners? Some of the people who sent them felt they were trying to help the houseguests. What did you think about them? <Eddie_McGee> I enjoyed the banners to tell you the truth. They broke up the day and it was interesting to see what people were thinking out there. There were some positive ones and negative ones and you know that didn't affect anyone unless that person let it bother them. <CNN-Host> Question from: <Bev> Were you disappointed at the way the show hurried the ending? <CNN-Host> Question from: <Hey> Eddie, I noticed that they cut off the show really quick on Friday. Do you think that they should have put more closure to the show? <Eddie_McGee> No actually, honestly I am happy the way the show ended. I hope the viewers are too and if not I am sorry for that but I was very pleased with the show's ending and I was getting out. <CNN-Host> Question from: <Hater> EDDIE!!!!!! WILL YOU GO TO SAVEEDDIE.COM??? <Eddie_McGee> Yes, as soon as I get my hands on an internet terminal I will go check out the site. Thankyou all for the Save Eddie.Com and all the sites out there which helped me out and support me. I love and appreciate all the Eddie fans out there. Much love. Thank you. <CNN-Host> Question from: <cillymcfly> Are you going to go back to UT? <Eddie_McGee> Yes I plan on going back to UT. When I do not know. I am currently registered now and skipping class. I am excited about getting back to school when I do get there. I will be hitting the books and basketball court hard. <CNN-Host> Question from: <fan> What was the most surprising thing you learned about the outside world when you left the house? i.e. current events, etc. <Eddie_McGee> I haven't really learned any news since I have been out. The only news I have had is personal family news like my brother's job and my mom's work. Stuff like that. I haven't caught up on current events. <CNN-Host> Question from: <ocorndoggie> If you were picking the 10 people for BB2, what kind of personalities would you look for? <Eddie_McGee> Diversity. Just people who cause conflict, people who run from conflict, and just people who you know seem genuine and then see what happens. <CNN-Host> Question from: <GINA> How does it feel not having cameras on you 24/7? <Eddie_McGee> It is a little adjusting to. Every now and then I look for my mic. <CNN-Host> Question from: <BBFan> EDDIE - Why do you think a woman has never won Big Brother? <Eddie_McGee> Wow I don't know. I never gave that much thought. Something you have to ask each other as viewers. I just don't know. <CNN-Host> Question from: <guest> Are you, Josh and Curtis staying together while in New York during the interviews? <Eddie_McGee> Yes Josh, Curtis and I are staying in the same place in New York. Just hanging out. Have a little fun out on the town tonight so we are excited about that. <CNN-Host> What are you going to do? <Eddie_McGee> Actually there is a restaurant we want to go to, then dance and kick back and enjoy it. <CNN-Host> Question from: <coco> Do you plan on seeing the other houseguests in the future? <Eddie_McGee> I plan on seeing Brit and Josh in the future, yes. I have grown close to them and as a matter of fact I think Josh is spending Christmas with me. <Haley_CNN> For our guests joining us from the CNN.com Web site, if you would like to ask a question, choose a nickname and ask your question for our guest here in the room. <CNN-Host> Question from: <luvyamcgee> Do you think the show should have been longer or shorter? <Eddie_McGee> From a contest point of view I wished it was shorter but as a viewer and honestly, I think the time frame was just right. I believe anything shorter you would not have been able to get a good grasp for a person and who they are. Any anything longer, I feel would become dangerously close to driving someone mad. I consider myself mentally strong, anything longer would have made someone start to lose it. <CNN-Host> Question from: <Debfwb> Are you going to be getting that adorable 3 legged pug that was on the show? <Eddie_McGee> I have someone contacting me about that. I have to see what my future is. If my future allows me to I will take thata pug, cute dog. <CNN-Host> Question from: <whats> The camera's in the bathroom were very intrusive. How did you feel about that and at anytime were you uncomfortable? <Eddie_McGee> No, you just push them out of mind. They were basically out of sight. You could barely see them and I think if you are going to try out for the show you have to be comfortable enough to take care of business with people watching. <CNN-Host> Question from: <Pam44> Is it different staying with Josh and Curtis outside the BB house? <Eddie_McGee> Yes it is a little bit different. You get to see how they react to people on the outside and how they interact. It is interesting to see how people walk in the streets. <CNN-Host> Question from: <dianelev> Did your mom give you a hard time about your language on the show? <Eddie_McGee> Yes she did. Good old mom got me with the bar of soap, well deserved I might add. But the way I see it ten thousand curses never tore a shirt. <CNN-Host> Question from: <jj> I know this is not about you but do you know if Josh and Brit kissed? <Eddie_McGee> To my knowledge, no they did not. <CNN-Host> Do you have any final thoughts to share with us? <Haley-CNN> Due to the volume of questions submitted we will not be able to get to all of them today. Thank you for your patience. <Eddie_McGee> I would like to say thank you very much to all the supporters out there, of the show, and all my fans personally thank you. And best of everything to all the supporters and I wish you all a well and happy holiday season. Thank you. <CNN-Host> Thank you for joining us today. <Eddie_McGee> Thank you. <Haley-CNN> That ends the formal portion of our discussion. The room will be unmoderated shortly. Thank you for your participation in today's chat. Now, here is Angelina-CNN as your host. <Haley-CNN> A transcript of this chat will be available soon at http://cnn.com/chat/transcripts |
