Reasons to DISLIKE Josh....
Furry | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 05:44 pm     Okay! He's difficult. The funny thing is, I was at the house when BB came to pick him up and gave him his key. They interviewed all of us (about nine people) and asked us to describe how we thought Josh would handle this situation. (None of this was shown...obviously.) Although we are all his friends, every one of us said we thought he'd get under people's skin, and his total lack of "internal monologue" may be his undoing. He definitely knows how to read people, but Josh judges people based on their ability to handle his biting comments. If you can take it with a grain of salt and come back with a witty remark, you've made a friend for life. If you take it personally and tuck your tail between your legs, he'll capitalize on your insecurities. Yeah...the more I talk about it, I have to agree that he's insecure and uses his "wit" to try to cover it up. However, he is a very generous and loyal person at the same time. If you get to know him, it's impossible to hate him. I can't explain it, but his personality is addictive. |
Jesse | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 05:46 pm     Josh is probably getting more sex out of BB3 than he has ever had in his ENTIRE life! |
Maris | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 05:48 pm     Well if his personality is addictive, I say vote him out of the house before I get hooked!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
C1mag | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 05:51 pm     Don't hate him but feel he is one of those useless people in society. Anyone notice he acts like he is on crack? Always moving. Hyper with a capital "H" He needs some Ridlin (sp) that is for sure. |
Peachie | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 05:52 pm     Furry, how come someone didnt tell him not to go on the show trying to be Will (as in lieing in his first sentence) or like mike boogie by trying to be the dumbest, goofiest extra on the set, i know i know he thinks he is a star like boogie did but didnt he learn that boog didnt make it that far with the same act as josh is doing? LOL Unfortunately he is making himself out to not look good and everything you have said we have said so we really arent talking bad about him, just speaking the truth. ;o) Everyone needs friends, glad he has one in you, I like people to be themselves, not to try and be someone they are not. |
Furry | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 05:55 pm     LOL Maris...Touche.! |
Faerygdds | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:00 pm     so Furry... what you are saying is.. he grows on you... kind of like a FUNGUS... but he grows on you... yeah... I've had friends like that! (and I told them that same to their faces too!)  |
Furry | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:05 pm     Peachie: It's funny that he is being compared so closely to Will and Mike Boogie. Josh had never even seen the show when he went to the open call audition. Since that time, he has read up on the show, and maybe he did plan his strategy based upon Will (although I know he's not trying to be Boogie...his personality is just naturaly 'larger than life'...is that pc enough?) This whole thing is so surreal. Since BB3 has started, I find myself trying not to follow too closely, or comment too much. I feel as though I'm stalking my friend. |
Pirate | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:10 pm     >>"He definitely knows how to read people, but Josh judges people based on their ability to handle his biting comments.

What an insane thing to be the basis of whether or not Josh will allow you to be a friend. And if you won't take it he justs beats you down. What a guy. My friends don't cut me down, they build me up. I treat them with the respect and that's how I want to be treated. We joke around, but we are not mean to each other. So it's true then. The Josh that we see in the BB house is the real deal. Hopefully, he will be going home to all his friends soon. |
Twiggyish | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:12 pm     I'm sorry but I find nothing to like about him. I know he is your friend, but this is my personal opinion. The way he talks about women is terrible. (For one thing) |
Kat | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:17 pm     Furry he seemed to know a lot about bb2 in the feeds last night. He was saying that he remembered the feeds showed the bathroom and was talking about the time he saw Will and Shannon in the shower. So my guess is that he wasnt telling you the truth when he said he never watched the show because he was sure watching the feeds. Tell me, I have to know. Is he from Great Neck???? I swear he reminds me of a lot of people. He really is the male version of a Long Island jap |
Furry | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:17 pm     I don't have access to the Live Feeds, and I'm only able to check this site while I'm at work (don't tell my boss! LOL). It's not that I don't agree with a lot of your posts, and I can see why you might develop the disdain you have for him. However, it's difficult for me to not want to defend my friend. I know he'd do the same for me. |
Zachsmom | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:18 pm     Pirate.. I agree..pretty sad when a person has to come back with a witty remark from an insult in order to be your friend..I am truly glad my friends value me more than that.. |
Zachsmom | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:20 pm     Furry.. don't take our "dislike" of your friend personally..Josh is extremely luck to have a friend like you.. I only hope he realizes it.. |
Twiggyish | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:21 pm     Furry, I have a feeling there will be a lot of similar posts about Josh in the future. We don't know how long he'll be in the house. Let's hope he does something to redeem his image. (There is a LOVE thread somewhere on this board, you can safely put nice things in there about him) |
Peachie | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:23 pm     You dont have to defend him furry, we understand you are his friend and all we are typing is what we do see on the live feeds and everything everyone has said in here basically describes how you describe him yourself. Psssst I wont tell your boss, I promise. LOL |
Furry | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:28 pm     He and another friend of mine went to the audition together. They loved Josh from the beginning. He began doing his research immediately, however, I know for a fact that Josh had not watched the show last season. Both he and my friend were "working" the audition line trying to figure out what the show was even about. As you know, the internet holds a lot of information, and it's possible to both read about and see pictures from BB2's live feeds. Josh is very good at taking information in and spinning it to give the impression he desires. It's possible that he has a pretty good idea what went on during BB1 and BB2, but my feeling is that he has just enough information, and when he states it with confidence he gives the perception that he knows more than he does. Perception is reality. |
Pamy | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Furry..I like you, wish you were in the house instead of Josh
 |
Dovedzwiek | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 06:53 pm     Furry-- how much crap did YOU have to take off of Josh to become his friend for life? Just asking. Anyway--this doesn't seem like a thread that somebody who likes Josh should be reading because it will just upset you and you will miss out on all the other threads on the board while you are trying to defend your friend. I don't like the Josh that he is showing ME on the live feeds. His biting and sarcasstic and mocking words don't seem in the least like "joking". I've been told that I have a very sarcasstic nature and sometimes a very biting wit but I'm not on the show so who is going to judge ME in a thread..nobody (and I mean that people!)Plus, Josh seems to WANT to use his "insightfulness" into others to use as his weapon by turning it into a biting or mocking remark but he falls short of insight by noting the obvious. Example: Marcellus is black=black face joke, Amy has a southern accent=mocking her accent..etc. Anyway, my point may have been lost in my Josh critique but what I'm saying is that Josh is going to be judged because that is part of the show. We only see what he shows us and so far...I do not like who I see. |
Twiggyish | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 08:58 pm     I noticed tonight when he was talking to Tonya, he was nicer. He was NOT loud and obnoxious. I didn't hear their entire conversation, but it seemed he was missing his girlfriend. Tonya said something about everyone knowing he was very in love with his girlfriend. I wish he would show this side of himself more often. |
Dovedzwiek | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:36 pm     He just wants her. He's using her. He's workin it. I don't trust him. Don't fall for it Twiggish, it's a trap! Run Twiggish RUN before he sucks you in and you get addicted to him! |
Danimom | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 10:46 pm     All of the conversation about race and Josh's actions are comments is interesting, only because I think people really do reveal a lot more about themselves than they realize. I don't necessarily think Josh has a problem just with race, I just think Josh has a problem! With women, with race, with religion, with people, with anything or anyone that is different and/or intolerant of him. I also think that there are others in the house that have similar issues, it just hasn't come out yet. If this persona is part of Josh's strategy, it is definitely distateful. But hey, after they boot his bottom out of the house, no one has to stomach him any more. That's the thing to look forward to. If nothing else, Josh is good to have around for now just so he can be the bottom feeder of the group. Just my opinion |
Cliotheleo | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 11:38 pm     Ok, commenting on this WHOLE thread... When I saw the first pre-show interviews my initial reaction (hoping not to offend SanFranJFan who has a very valid point) was that Josh reminded me of some gay friends of mine. Not that he "acted gay," because I don't think you can "act gay," gay men are too diverse (duh!) But as the show went on, I thought the opposite, but this thing about maybe he doesn't like Marc. because he's afraid he may out him, is a good point. Has Marc. offered any opinion on the matter? Of course even if he IS gay, I'd still think he's adorable. As Marcellus told Amy the other day, "you're a southern belle, of course you love"..... uh, guys like Marcellus. ;-) (I HATE the "f" word.) I think there must be some filter on my live feed because I just don't find any reason to hate Josh. I can see the "tryin' to be Will" comparison, but don't see the Mike Boogie thing at all. Now I may have missed some of the more slanderous comments that he's supposedly made, (feel free to clue me in) but sounds like Josh may have my same philosophy on life, "life's short, so don't take yourself or anyone else too seriously." |
Aria | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 11:55 pm     Sorry Furry, I know Josh is your friend but there isn't enough room on this board for me to list all reasons I am disliking Josh right now. He is telling some really scary stories right now. He is reminding me of the stories Justin told last year. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:29 am     Kat is right.. if Josh has convinced you (furry) that he never saw BBII.. he's lying through his teeth. He's said any number of things about what happened on the live feeds last year and it is clear that he spent a goodly amount of time studying and now trying to emulate various of the HG from last year.. He absolutely seems to have no tolerance for just sitting still or letting anyone else have the spotlight. As for the idea that he constantly tests people, well I'd say run fast in the opposite direction.. I've lived with that and it isn't a friendship, IMO. He just makes my skin crawl. All the butt slapping and biting.. and it isn't that he doesn't know what he's doing because he's mentioned it and basically is testing to see if anyone complains so that he can then make fun of them.. Amy's had the guts to not just go along with some of the antics and boy do they tend to turn on her. I still say scorpion or cockroach is apt. Furry.. maybe you should start a positive thread (and us negative people should read but refrain from ragging on you there) because there are definitely some who do like him and would enjoy hearing from you. I do admire you for standing by your friend. But, sadly, I don't admire your friend. |
Pamy | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 06:54 pm     Sea, good post!! I love what you said about admiring Furry for standing by her friend, I too think Furry is a very noble person, and Josh should treasure her/him.(sorry don't know if fuzzy wuzzy was a bear or if furry wurry is girlie) With that said, let's get this thread back on track............Josh makes me sick!!!!!!!!!

Kiersten_Love | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 08:14 pm     Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Misslibra | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 09:09 pm     Now this moment now on live feeds between the lizard and Josh is a cute moment... Awwwwwww! |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 09:11 pm     Yes.. I think the way he cares about the animals is one of his few redeeming features. |
Hardywins | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 02:41 pm     I hope I'm not re-opening this thread; but I do want to comment. If what you say about Josh is true, Furry; then Josh and Marcellus should be the best of friends because only Marcellus had any spontaneous witty remarks and comments to Josh's statements when the show first started. Apparently Josh can dish it out but he can't take it. Probably Josh's "friends" are masochists who enjoy Josh abusing them and using them. Josh has demonstrated his crassness with no self-restrictions and no limits on his manipulativeness to the point that only those who bend to his desires are allowed to be his "friends" |
Pamy | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 06:27 pm     This thread needs to stay open until he is gone!!! Just when I thought he couldn't get worse he makes the remark about messing with his cat to sexually frustrate the cat. Even if that was a joke it was not funny!
