This "Roadtrip" they're thinking of going on...
Fifi | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 01:17 am  Do you think this cross-country roadtrip they are talking about going on will seriously happen? Do you honestly think these people will see each other after the show is over? If Curtis/Josh/Eddie actually do go on a cross-country roadtip with Brittany/Jamie, I will lose all respect for those guys! How could they cope being in a car 24/7 with Brit and not want to slit their wrists?? Do you think Curtis etc. are just pretending they want to go on this roadtrip just to make Brit happy while they are in the house? It seems that it's only Brit who's excited about this roadtrip. I doubt Jamie would want to spend time with the houseguests after she leaves the show. I think she's probably thinking she'll move on to bigger and better things. Please! Please Curtis/Eddie/Josh! Don't go on that roadtrip if you want to maintain your sanity!!! |
Lafatme | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 02:17 am  fifi, this trip will not happen. at least not with all of them. curtis may do it and one of the others may go with him but that's probably it. they're making plans to do things with one another because there are no other people to make plans with. BB makes all the plans for them now so it's comforting to beelieve they can plan a road trip together. once they're out they'll be making plans with their loved ones instead. i was in vietnam and we all talked like they are now about how we'd hang together when we got home. i went to visit my best buddy and after about 12 hrs of remembering the good times we had nothing else to talk about. they can't relive this experience forever and will realize that this is all they have in common. no road trip |
Charlotteindigo | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 02:22 am  Curtis will be moving across the country from NY to LA, but with all his stuff (towing a U-Haul trailer maybe). It's not the same thing as cruising in a van with your buds. And Minneapolis is a serious detour off the direct route. I don't think Brit will go unless Josh goes. And I think Josh's going is pretty unlikely. There will be a lot of things waiting for these folks once they get out, that maybe they've forgotten about while they've been locked up in that house. I think Josh will be too busy angling for an invite to the Playboy Mansion to go on a week-long road trip with Miss Whiney. And I don't think Eddie is really interested in going at all or seeing any of these people once he gets out. They'll end up doing what most folks who live in different parts of the country do nowadays: e-mail each other on occasion. They may even do their Vegas reunion in a year. I think that's going to be about it. |
Fifi | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 02:54 am  I was just thinking (can't sleep, it's almost 3 am!!!) that they are all just losing touch with reality. I just can't see how they will still hang out together after BB is over. And I can't see Jamie and Brit sharing a place together in LA after BB is over. But I'm just wondering how much of this roadtrip planning is just a way to keep Brit happy since she seems all excited about it. I know everyone has said they think Brit is acting like a 13 year old and now I finally believe it. She talks about how much she wants to have a sleep-over in the living room, how much she wants to go camping with them all, how much she wants to go bungee jumping etc. I watched most of the poolside convo this evening and even though I've always thought Brit was immature, I just didn't fathom *how* immature she is. I just wish all the HG would act like Eddie and just make stupid noises whenever Brit opens her mouth!! |
Teecee | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 02:55 am  Lafatme, that was the most insightful post I've read yet - it is like a generational thing, nearly everyone I know in their twenties (I'm 23) fantasizes about doing a cross-country road trip. To actually undertake such a road trip takes time, money, planning, and a high tolerance for odors. Curtis will drive NY-LA and may even visit Cass in NY before he leaves, but that's all I see happening. These people only know each other b/c of the strangest circumstance and I strongly doubt they'll keep in touch. (Other than Karen trying to adopt Brit maybe...) |
Chris | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 07:43 am  Maybe it is just a ruse - and their real plan is to ditch Brattney in the desert. |
Chris | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 07:44 am  Now, I COULD see Karen and Brittany doing a "Thelma & Louise" number... |
Stupidlyhappy | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 08:05 am  It's like when you get together with relatives or old friends and you all say, "We'll have to see each other more often," or "Let's have dinner sometime soon," when nobody ever really means it. Nobody in that house is being completely honest, except maybe for Eddie. |
Thepresident | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 12:16 pm  This reminds me of high school -- and that's never a good thing. I don't think they will keep in touch as much as they hope to after the show is over. I find that in situations like these either they A.) Keep in contact with each other a lot at first and gradually it fades or B.) Think of it like I think of Summer Break at college. I spend every other day, every day or every weekend with the same people around me -- now I need a break from them. I also think that they'll be so busy with their lives outside of the house [and whatever that may include in addition to their lives before they entered the house] that they won't have time and then will simply lose touch or make empty promises to get together or hang. As for coping with Brit -- this is why we have ear plugs, muzzles and rope :-) BTW - I hate college Freshmen!!!!! |
Puttergirl | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 01:53 pm  I GOT IT!!!!! THEY ARE JUST TALKING IN CODE!!! Remember that movie some years back where a bunch of guys take a road trip to Mexico to get one of them laid (not the one out now). I can't remember its name. Well ,this is really just a way to get Brit laid. They are going to build up her courage along the way, then once there (California), they are going to find some muscular, blond beach hunk to do the dirty deed. |
Luddite | Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 02:54 pm  Definitely on roadtrip: Originally, the roadtrip was Curtis in a U-Haul to move his stuff cross-country. 99% likely on roadtrip: Curtis invited Jaime along, and she agreed to come with him. The two also made a small side-bet a while back about nominations [I didn't catch the whole conversation. . .something about Karen. Wager was for a tank of gas]. Her only reservation was that if she has enough time for a roadtrip, that must mean that she's not doing the talk show circuit and her showbiz career is going nowhere. Yep, roadtrip. 25% likely on roadtrip: The rest of the HGs? I don't know how everyone else got invited onto the roadtrip. I think this only came up after the interstate roadmap challenge. No way on roadtrip: Cass basically said no way. They offered to pick her up in Las Vegas. |
