Kapow - Gerry didn't put her up. Lisa did. Gerry tried to get Lisa to nominate Josh.

I agree that Amy is a lot smarter than they think she is.
She is playing both sides.
The dumb blonde southern belle is a cover.

Sorry, folks.... you are correct... But Gerry's use of the veto did amount to Amy being on the block. She was mad that he used his veto and it ended up with her on the block. That is what I meant. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hated Amy, then loved her. Now she's losing me a little again...she's still one of my favorite HGs, but her Gerry hate seems unjustified. Granted, he doesn't have a lot of tact, and should've known not to say something like that when he's a good part of the reason she was nominated. But he's right - she was played by the alliance, and she *should* feel stupid for it.

I think Lori was right in the DR when she said that Amy was herself at first (and didn't care who didn't like it), but now just wants to fit in with the "cool" group. I'd be okay with that if it was just strategy, but it's not. She just really wants them to like her. Her reasons for not liking them at first aren't really holding up, apparently...

I still think she's funny and cute, though. Just wish she'd play the game a bit better.

Oh, and yes - I think that Amy likes the "boys" (everyone except Gerry), but wants to get rid of the girls. For example - Josh is just as disgusting as Chiara, but she seems to consider him a friend these days.

I don't know Kapow. Gerry used his veto to save her friend Marcellus. I would think she wouldn't hold that against him. She should aim her resentment at Lisa. I guess the others are right and it's more about that comment he made, assuming she would be voted out.

Plus she's probably still shaken that the vote was so close. She hadn't even packed all her stuff because she was so sure Gerry was wrong, and now she knows Gerry's prediction almost came true.

Mmmm, Muse. I feel just the opposite. I felt like Amy was trying to play up the Southern Belle thing early on and then realized she was better off just being herself. I think she is just trying to be herself at this point. It works for both the girls and boys. Everyone seems to like her. Sometimes people from the South just say "y'all" and "I reckon" and "yonder". I did not get the feeling that Amy was playing to the boys - as evidenced by the fact that she was grossed out by the shower scene. Amy seems to have a lot more self respect than other of the women in the house.

Did I read something earlier (before the votes) that one of the 6-pack was going to vote for Amy? Do you think this was planned by the alliance? Perhaps they were aiming for a tie vote - then Lisa would be the tie breaker and vote Lori. Amy would then know that it was them that kept her in the game. This would then keep Amy on the hook and they could continue to control her votes; until she was dispenisble.

It wouldn't be possible to have a tie...not with nine votes total.

And no - the alliance was supposed to vote for Lori. Josh didn't because he made a promise to her. And now others (Roddy, Eric, etc) are trying to figure it out. Josh is keeping quiet.

Oops, you're right. I mis-counted somewhere along the way. Thanks for straightening that out.

Amy can't really be trusted. I don't think she'd betray a friend (like I don't see her ever voting for someone over Marcellas, assuming she and Marcellas stay friends), but she's apparently not good at keeping her mouth shut. She's telling Chiara & co. what Marcellas has said to her about the nominations. I don't know...I don't think Marcellas would be thrilled to know she was sharing all this information he shared with her. No wonder he and Danielle stopped discussing strategy when she came in the room.

Dejavu tonight watching the live feeds....

Waiting to see Amy crawl into bed with Josh only to jump up yelling black girls don't do that a few minutes later....

(Amy and Josh are not fooling around, making a bad BB2 reference joke is all)

Seriously, she's Autumn with a stronger accent and blonde hair. She doesn't fit in with the "cool" crowd, not really- they are playing her like a fiddle and she's eating it up for some reason.

I like her . . . think she's funny . . . but when she did the splits, I felt my ovaries popping out on the floor <ouch>

AMY AMY AMY I thought as a southern LADY you knew there are certin subjects that we as a society don't make into joking matters.


excerpt from LF

A little later Amy, in her red sweater joins the chess lesson group in the LR. <not sure if there was any tension to be broken when she joined> Soon Amy is piping up with her southern self cracking jokes using the word 'pedophile' over and over, about how she jokes with friends from home, for example if a woman she knows is dating a guy two years younger, 'well she's a pedophile'.

To a survivor of a pedophile this is not a subject that should be joked about. Someone who is dating a younger ADULT than they are is not a pedophile.
Lil Lady there are just somethings that are taboo and being all prim and proper to your southern up bringing I would of thought you had the manners to know this is no subject to be joking about.

Classy... I am so sorry you have had to have something so terrible happen to you or someone you love... but I disagree with you regarding anyone talking, or even joking about pedophilia.

I think that not talking, not joking, not discussing pedophilia keeps the pedophile safe. Society is protecting the pedophile by making his/her disgusting actions a secret... something no nice person talks about.

It keeps a veil of secrecy and shame as a protection... but it only protects the pedophile.. not the child.

It gives children a feeling of being lost... no where to turn ... too nasty to even talk about.... If an action, so ugly that good people dare not speak about it...happens to a child.. then where does that child go to tell... for help... for safety?

By not talking about it.. Society is instilling a feeling of shame that is passed on to the victim.

We need to talk about it... openly... with both truth and humour... the word needs to be said outloud. They need to be shouted down every dark alley and around every dark corner... the word pedophile should become so talked about that our children, all children, will know what to look out for... to know they are not the bad one... to not be afraid to tell... we need to make the pedophile and his nasty work bare for all to see... to place the shame on the perpertrator, and remove it from the victim...

Just my opinion... and might be so very wrong.. but that is how I see it... and hope I have not offended you by giving my opinion.

I think Amy joking and her friends are just being open... and that they are obviously well informed.. and they are making mockery of the pedophile... making the actions of the pedophile known... they probably are not doing it with this in mind... but I would guess that Amy and friends were brought up in an open and loving atmosphere where the nasty pedophiles are not allowed to creep into the corners.

I have to admit I didn't read all of the above 80 messages before writing this...I am so ticked that it is not in Amy's vocabulary to say "thank you." I come from half Southern stock where they are overly polite compared to my Social-Register-Philadelphia half where we're taught not thank the serving help. Petty of me, I know, but after seeing Amy for all this time, I am mortified with a capital M. How crass, how ignorant, how disappointing. How Amy.

OH, ONE MORE THING....I have NEVER seen any right-handed person EVER cut with the knife in their left hand and then shovel it into the mouth with the fork in their right. That is downright disgusting and unmannered no matter which side of the Mason-Dixon line you're from. [rant tapering off....deep breath....good night all]

Good grief! All my life I never knew there were people watching to see which hand I held my knife in. Gosh, I hope I never downright disgusted someone. I do live below the Mason-Dixon line. I'll have to be careful from now on.
