I also didn't know you couldn't write 'hate' in a thread title, when I started this thread it said 'I hate Josh, here's why' and it got changed to the title it is now. Which is fine by me.

That's what I heard..... It was right after he shaved his body. The boys were commenting how he didn't look like a terrorist anymore and he said, "I Love those people!"

Then why can you love someone in a thread title? Maybe you should only like them until you know them a little better. Heehee.

I'm just kidding, mods, please don't get angry and boot me! I'm just messing with you guys! I'm glad you keep the very vulgur people away- it makes this place much more pleasant to be, plus you're obviously VERY on top of things! :)

SanFranJ ~ having an adolescent in the house, I fully understand what you mean by so many young people using the term 'gay' as a negative. But I think that has alot to do with insecurities at that age about their own sexuality. The other day, my son called a building 'gay'. We had, yet again, another discussion about that term, what it means, its connotations, etc., but until he grows up a little more and becomes comfortable with himself, I'm sure he and his friends will continue to use it out of my hearing range.

As for Josh being gay, it hit me during the 2nd show simply because of his actions and reactions around Marcellas. Then again, maybe it's because he has honestly never known a gay person and has no clue how to act normal around them. Who knows.

But he is definitely not likable. The other day, he complained about how stupid everyone's picks for five food items were before the egg toss. His main big complaint was that people were asking for the "basics". And guess what he's complaining about tonight as he's cooking the fish? No oil ~ a "basic". This happens alot with him. He complains for no reason. Then realizes two days later why others said or did what they did.

The guy is so clueless. And what's worse ~ look at the number of people following him with his 'plan'.

Kappy...I just thought he singled out Marcellas cuz he saw Marcellas as being the "odd man out" (a phrase Marcellas has used to describe himself)...I think it was just picking the one that "fits in" the least to go in for the kill...
JMO

But then again....who knows what is really going on in the minds of ANY of these clueless knuckleheads??? LOL

I don't hate Josh. But,I dislike him very, very, very, very, very, much. At least Will from BB2 was funny. He played the game brilliantly. His DR entries were priceless. There is no comparison between Josh and Will.

There is nothing about Josh that I can see that would make me change my mind. He is demeaning to women and he is soooo not funny. His voice is irrating and when he speaks nothing comes out worth listening to. I just don't get how these other HGs formed an alliance with him. I can only hope that they are using him and not the other way around. Only time will tell.

How do I dislike Josh.. Let me count the ways...

There are no excuses for his behavior or attitude.

I give Roddy credit--on the live feeds he just gave Gerry credit for playing the game well, even if he went against how they wanted things to go.

Josh just gets mad that someone is trying to play as well. It's like only Josh is supposed to plot and plan--and anyone else who does so is just a total something. It seems like he has no respect for anyone trying to beat him--only anger. Sigh

Josh is a waiter who lives and works in NYC
He knows a LOT of gay people, trust me

I think Josh hates women. I'm not sure if he's gay, but there is a name for men who hate women.
This is only going on his aggressive behavior and the things he has said in the past. He has violent tendencies towards women. (Just my two cents)

little bit ago he said he was gonna try to "keep it real" something tells me he watched all of BB2 and is just not letting on cause he is slowly (or maybe even fast) trying to portray all the HG's from BB2. Funny thing is it is Boogie he most acts like and I am thinking like most, that boggie was a little tame compared to him.

I have been lurking in the background, but am a personal friend of Josh and just had to add a comment based on this thread.

Yes, Josh is overbearing and difficult to handle at times, especially if you don't understand him. However, this is a game, and trust me that Josh has been planning his strategy long before entering the house.

I have not followed the live feeds for the past couple of days, so I haven't heard him talking about Merritt (his current girlfriend), but yes she does exist.

It is difficult to determine if someone is gay based solely on their reaction and comments about and around gay people.

I just thought I'd add this bit of information before you started getting too far off track when analyzing why Josh does what he does, and says what he says.

When Josh is talking he reminds me of a actor... like he is in a movie, especially last night when he was talking to Lori.

Furry you sound like you know him? I'm sure there is much more to Josh then what we are seeing. And people can only comment on what they are seeing, from their perspective. :)

Furry, thanks for being brave enough to post here!
Sounds like you like Josh a lot!

Sadly, Josh reminds me of my brain damaged child: their world is "me, myself and I", is NOT responsible for anything or anyone, thinks they can lie and betray (no conscience) and doesn't appear to be able to get and maintain working relationships. I am so sorry to think that this guy thinks he is "on top of things and running the house HIS way!" What a joke. Also, sadly enough, he probably doesn't have enough brains left to realize that his words/actions will all backfire on him someday. Believe me, his day WILL come!

Okay, I realize that this is not the thread to be posting positive things about Josh, but it is difficult for any of us the make an accurate judgment of an HG's character or mental capacity based on the limited amount of time we've been able to watch them and this extraordinary environment. Yes, Josh is judgmental and childish at times, but being trapped in a house full of people whose ultimate goal is to be the 'last man standing' would bring out character flaws in anyone.

Trust me when I tell you that Josh is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. His people skills may need some work at times, but he is far from brain damaged.

>>"His people skills may need some work at times"<<

Very diplomatic way to put it.

Furry, believe it or not, there WAS a positive Josh thread on the board in the first couple of days!

Auntiemike didn't say that Josh was brain damaged.

I have to disagree a little about the statement that being in the house "would bring out character flaws in anyone." We've seen several people in the BB series that managed to get through the house without showing the really distasteful character traits that Josh has demonstrated. The pressure of the house can only bring out what's already there.

I'm willing to believe that Josh is playing some kind of game based on a strategy he thinks he needs to follow, but I can't believe that what we're seeing is very far removed from the person he really is.

Furry, I only said my child was brain damaged. I never said Josh was; just that he acted the same way. Got to be a reason. Perhaps he needs to learn how to love/like himself and not have the need to be so "in control" of his life. He seems highly insecure to me. IMHO

Well Ferry he isnt acting too smart right now, I have to tell you. Some of us (moi) are internet junkies and trust me, I have seen a lot more of Josh in the last week than I have my own parents and I am quite sure I didnt miss any moments where he demonstrated insight, sensitivity and intelligence. I could be wrong, I might have missed a moment like that.

Maybe what I have been seeing is all an illusion. it could be the reason I am seeing the FOTH is that Big Brother just doesn't want us to see what a nice guy he is.

Josh NEVER EVER has anything POSTIVE come out of his mouth! It is ALWAYS a sarcasstic or biting or negative comment. The boy has more issues than squirrel during rush hour on the Dan Ryan!

It is sooooo hard not to comment about him on Live Feeds so I thank the LORD and Pamy that I have this thread to come to.

Josh: Why is this contest taking so long?
I spent money on these seats and I'm tired and I have things to do. f-ing this and f-ing that and now I'll make fun of Amy and start using the term "I reckon" half-a-million freaking times!

Gerry must have had an appointment to keep..blah blah that's why he went against my superior intellect and had the audasity to go against MY ORDERS!

(PS..these are NOT quotes LOL)
