"One time...my buddy...signed the release BRIAN TAFT!" FOH

LOL

This has to be the first thread to mention Eric by name in the title.

Ryan, wasn't it Roddy who mentioned Brian Taft?

I know--he's been a persona non grata hasn't he? Even on the feeds. Where is the guy? You'd think the beefcake would get more face time. He's a bit of a disappointment--kind of boring.

I thought it was Eric, could be wrong. Does sound like a Roddy thing... Someone change the title if I'm wrong.

When he's around Roddy, Eric just kind of shuts up.

But what is ten times worse is Jason. He never says anything, no one asks him anything and he can't seem to get a word in at all. I like Jason, but I wonder why has was cast in this show.

Jason is too quiet also. Being a "good boy" is not enough. I forget he's even on the show sometimes.

Scorpiomoon

I'm just hoping once some of the people are gone, Jason will come out of his shell.

Ryanc2002

Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 01:10 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I mentioned this the other day. I'll be watching the feeds and like "Where's Jason?" for half an hour... and he's RIGHT THERE in front of my face!

I tell ya, it's gonna be Lori, Gerry, and Jason who are gone the next few of weeks. Maybe then Tonya. After that, it's a crap shot.

What about Amy and Marcellass, Oregon?

I hope something happens to upset the balance of power. I think it will. Somehow. Otherwise I don't know if the show will hold my attention. But think- if they (CBS) reads these boards they must have an idea that viewers don't want it to work ou that way. I think they can set the competitions is certain people's favor if they want to- not necessarily set it up for them to win, but set it up so the odds are in their favor.

He's under the radar. A good strategy with this group.

Kalli - Hold on...Arnold Shapiro is running this thing not Vince McMahon, in other words this is Big Brother not professional wrestling (although the smut and hardbodies makes me think otherwise sometimes.) I don't want them to do anything that would "script" the way this game goes or to even tip the advantage into anyone's favor. Let the chips fall where they may. If Tonya wins this game I won't like it, but I'd rather her win because that's the way the game went, than lose because ASP and CBS saw that the fans didn't like it and altered the game.

Ryan, I'm not saying I want it to be set up like that- I'm saying there is a possibility of that.

I had doubts in Survivor as well when suddenly the tribe of 3 (I forgot the name...Maraamu I think) suddenly started winning so many challenges while some challenges seemed to be giving them an advantage. For instance, they won the raid challenge then they were asked to make an SOS signal. Which tribe has the advantage? Would they have done the same challenge at that time if they hadn't won the raid? I figured, well MB doesn't want that team to drop to 2 players before the merge! that can't happen! If it did, their tribal counsil at 3 would have been like the final 3 of the game.

I don't wat to see staged reality shows. I don't think the players, which is what they are, would agree to step down and let someone else beat them when it could cost them $500,000. But I think the game can be manipulated in favor of certain individuals when it might benefit ratings or MB's desired outsome.

Maybe a dumb question but what is the significance of "Brian Taft", please? (Or were you just pointing out that they went to FOH when someone's exact name was mentioned?)

Ryanc2002

Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:32 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Kalli - Sorry, misunderstood I guess.

Pointing it out because BB has been getting on HGs for mentioning people who didn't sign the release. Brian Taft DID sign the release and they still FFD'd

ah.. okay thanks Ryan.

That was the signifigance of Eric (Roddy?) saying "signed the release" prior to the story.

Scorpiomoon

I was listening when Roddy was taling about Brian Taft and for the life of me I can't remember what amusing story Roddy told about the guy.

Roddy seems to have a million "One night my buddies and I did some crazy sh-t" stories. They're getting harder and harder to remember.

I guess with this group, I think flying under the radar will only work in conjunction with being funny and well-liked. But those who are annoying to the majority--Lori, Gerry--will go first. Then Jason because he's like a bump on a log.

Amy and Marc are moving up in the popularity polls because they are funny and cute. Josh also seems to be gaining popularity. I now think that Tonya and Danielle are more likely to be border, expendable Six Packers.

But these are three-week preditions and easy ones to make. After a month, the in-group is going to have to start cannibalizing and it ain't gonna be pretty. I just think who constitutes that in-group is continuing to morph because they haven't been in the house too long yet. It isn't like Chilltown because they only had four to begin with: the Six Pack is too big and unwieldy. JMO because what do I know?

Scorpio - What's funny is he goes from "One night my buddies and I did some crazy sh-t" to f'n Chinese Algebra or some other stuff an edumacated person would know.

Scorpiomoon

Ryan: I know! And the funny thing is, not one person in that house can keep up with him.

My absolute favorite moments: When Roddy imitates Josh's accent. It is HYSTERICAL!

Does anyone know if Eric has a girlfriend? I thought I just read in th live feeds he said something about it??

Scorpiomoon

Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 12:09 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Josh is the one with the (supposed) girlfriend.

Roddy and Eric are single.

Ryanc2002

Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 12:14 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Scorpio - Technically Eric has a girlfriend, but after BB3...

Ryan - How do you know this?

He just said it while playing chess with Roddy. LOL.

I thought Eric does have a girlfriend, I swear I saw a link to a story somewhere on it. Seems that she was the "prize" in a "kiss the fireman" contest done by some radio show and he won. If anyone can find the link they have pictures and everything.

I tell you what.. If he was my boyfriend, he would be GONE! Same with Josh. There is such a thing as flirting but these guys cross the line. I doubt it is necessary to try and 'hook' up with some of these girls to ensure their alliance.. Geesh.

Scorpiomoon

Wow. Where have I been? I didn't know Eric had a girlfriend.

Speaking of girlfriends, Chiapet was talking (again) about the expensive jewelry her married boyfriend Robert gave her before they went into the house. If Roddy actually thinks he is going to have a chance with this chick after BB, he is sadly mistaken.

Scorpio - But it's fun to watch him try, no?

Ryan: Absolutely!
