Ctguy | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:19 pm     My view of Danielle's strategy is that she has been playing for the $50K for some time now. She now appears to have a 100% probability of winning $50K while Jason and Lisa each have a 50% probability of winning $500K depending on the outcome of tommorow's HOH competition. I think that was her goal. One of the ways she helped ensure this outcome was to "bad mouth" others in the house so that the remaining two houseguests would be reasonably certain that they could beat her in the finals and take her with. |
Hawaiiandew | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:20 pm     I will be happy if any one of these 3 wins...does that make me neutral? Although I would rather see one win over the others. |
Ryn | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:30 pm     Contrary to some folks opinions, several, if not most of the moderators are pretty neutral. And even those that aren't are always fair. I know I will not be upset if any of the HGs left win, I might like it better if one particular one wins, but I won't be upset if he/she doesn't. |
Lisad | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:35 pm     I wish all 3 could split the money. At this point, it would be sad for me to see anyone walk out with zero after all this time. They're all OK. I'm rooting for some more than others - but I'm fine with all 3 of them right now. I like to think I'm neutral in my takes on things but I do get riled when someone is particularily vile to a HG and/or alters realities of the feeds/show. |
Xcentric1 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:59 pm     The only people I really disliked on the show are long gone. Tonya and Josh set my teeth on edge, and they can't win, so I don't really care who wins. The people I think played the best game are not people I would like at all in real life. The three who are left have played well by definition. They are the final three. The winner will have played well because he or she managed to make it to the end and get the others to vote for him or her. The very qualities that got them to the end are the reasons I dislike them as people. Does that make sense? Dani is the perfect example of the best way to play the game, but I think that's just the way she is in real life. She isn't a "Mom", she is a master manipulator who gets her needs met no matter who she hurts in the process. That's why she's made it so far. Jason is a "people pleaser" who hides his feelings to get what he needs from others. I don't think he has an honest emotion because he's too busy being what everyone else wants him to be. Lisa plays the unassuming airhead who goes with the flow to show the world she is no threat, but always has her needs met by her "caretakers." She loves to be the "little girl" others must care for. It works for them. They needed those qualities to get where they are. I admire them for it. They made for a very entertaining season. The dynamics are interesting and I have enjoyed the show. I wouldn't want to know any of them in real life. |
Spunky | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:08 pm     Well, (referring to the first post) we are becoming too repetitive, we're saying the same things on other threads, "I don't hate her and I don't like her", I just finished making the exact same observation of the author of this thread in the anti-Dani thread. So, I think many of us don't give a darn one way or the other. What makes me come here is the speculation of how things are going and why. Those hgs don't mean a thing to me, I just observe to learn new things...and I do!!! |
Laffy | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:52 am     i think i'm neutral. i watch bb to be entertained and this year i have been. i know i won't win a half mil so what do i care which one does? i have had no problem with the lying, backstabbing, bashing, etc by the HGs because i think of it as strategy, not personal. i think it makes sense to "bash" other HGs to keep the attention away from yourself as long as possible. making another HG "the devil o' the week" can get someone other than you evicted and preserve your stay for one more week. i doubt anyone really means the negative things they say. i read baseball boards and see the same thing all the time. each teams fans "bash" the closest competitor to them. as the standings change, so does the object of their derision. i seldom feel any strong emotions for any of them, except that i LOVED brit in bb1, and totally HATED roddy this year. why? i don't know, but that's how i feel. other than those 2 i have been neutral for 3 years. |
Car54 | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:54 am     I am neutral in that I am so tired of all the arguing that I don't care who wins...I just want them all to go home. |
Sam222 | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 10:57 am     I have been thinking about it and I will feel the same whoever wins in the end, I like the final 3 I am just a little bored with the show right now, so my feelings of blah could be called neutral. the only person I really didn't like this season was Amy, and she can't win so I'm fine no matter the outcome. |
Alegria | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:06 am     Is being a bipolar type of fan like being neutral? I'll give an example. Last year I really, really, REALLY did not want Nicole to win BUT when I was watching the feeds she is the person I was most interested in viewing. It was sort of like watching a train wreck. This year I am rooting for Jason to win but find him boring to watch. I was both fascinated/repelled watching Lori & Tonya on Thursday's show. Roddy has really been a trip in terms of how he worked the other hg's, I would not have wanted him to be rewarded with prize money, but thought he was great for entertainment. |
Phillymom | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:15 am     I'm not "passionate" about any of them, so I guess that makes me sort of neutral. But I have my preferences, so I guess I'm not completely neutral. I like Lisa and Jason the best, but I think Dani and Jason are most deserving to win. So I won't be upset one way or the other who takes the money home. LOL, I just reread my post, and I don't sound neutral, I just sound darn wishy-washy. |
Ddr1135 | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:19 am     Alegria........LOL!!!! You described Nicole perfectly!!!! Just like a train wreck. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:20 am     I was reasonably neutral and really only held any kind of passionate reponse toward one particular houseguest. That houseguest is no longer an issue. I began to admire two houseguests for their gameplaying and only became passionate when the hatred and derision on the board was directed toward them. I don't believe they are underdogs on the show but they are underdogs in the court of public opinion. For some reason I feel honor bound to defend them. In doing so, I became passionate. So the answer is, while once semi neutral I am now one hundred percent invested in the welfare of two of the remaining houseguests. |
Zeyna | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:29 am     I'm fairly neutral about the last three. I won't be thrilled or upset to see any of them win. Just a little sad it's all ending. |
Puzzled | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:31 am     I'm curious to see who will win and it should be fun to watch, but I'm not rooting for anyone. I wish, though, that the 3rd place winner would get something, like in BB1. |
Twinkle | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 11:47 am     Considering who the final 3 are, it's not difficult for me to be neutral. However, if it had come down to a combination of people like Tonya, Roddy and Josh or Marci, I might feel differently. All in all, I haven't felt an overwhelming dislike for anyone this time around. Strong personalities make the game more interesting. |
Ericka1012 | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:01 pm     I'm not a Dani fan and I'll be the first to admit it...but the reason I'm not is because mostly of her DR entries and the way she continues to bash people that can no long effect her stay in the house...but only effect her winning the big one in the end...Had she just played the game without going to such extremes in her DR's and her constant bashing of the evicted HG then I would not care who of the three would win...I think Lisa and Jason have played a better game because in the most part they have let evicted HG alone...with very few exceptions...Dani has just gone overboard...much like Marcy did...unfortunately Jason and Lisa don't or won't see that... |
Krossd | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:06 pm     Well, I am not (so) neutral.... but these last 3 were my favorite from early on so it was fun to watch it work out that way and had some hold on moments too The point of the program is entertainment, and a lot of them have given us that! Some want the nice person to win after BB1 & 2's outcomes... some want the best entertainer/game player to win. I, too, come here for the updates and to speculate and debate. Makes BB interestiong. TV alone - nope. I do think that CBS could have done a better job in getting situations up to make it less boring - like the all nite dance-a-thon, and the domino set up - it MADE them have to interact even tho opposed. And it could have been more entertaining to not have so much blocked out! They are dragging out this last part too much while not allowing us to see some potenitially interesting things, like letting them know yesterday who'd be going up against Lisa. The finale should be interesting - to say the least! It will be good to hear if some of the odds and ends we've speculted on get cleared up, and whoa - that anticipation about what they will say to Dani looms! I'm still anxious for my favorite to win, so I am not feeling comfy right now - ya know (or remember) what I mean? LOL |
Puttergirl | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:06 pm     I'd have to say I'm completely nuetral. I'm not really rooting for any one person more than another at this point. I wanted to see Amy win. I haven't participated in any of the Dani support or Dani bashing. I see both sides, but don't feel strongly either way. I tend to think that any of us would not appear at our best when magnified on a program like BB. Any of us who gossip alittle would probably do it 10 times worse through stress and boredom. And where we might usually say some harmless negative things about people that few hear in our real lives, everyone would hear it in the BB house. So, I try to not be the first to cast a stone!!! But then again, I enjoy reading the posts from people who throw stones!!!! Go figure!! |
Bigsister | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:22 pm     What an interesting thread! No bashing, no arguing. Count me as a neutral. My favorite houseguest was Amy, but I did not think she should win, because she was not interested in playing to win. She just wanted to have a good time. The three who are there now are there because they deserve to be. I have a slight preference for both Jason and Lisa over Danielle, but I will be happy for whomever the winner is. |
Marymary | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:24 pm     Do we get some kind of a "whoppee button" for being neutral? Didn't know it was a requirement. |
Puttergirl | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:31 pm     Marymary, my feeling so neutral at this point just says to me that this BB wasn't as much fun and addictive as the others. In the others, I felt much stronger about who wins!! |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:33 pm     I am neutral when it comes to Dani and Lisa..I really don't care which one comes in second...lol |
Victoriafla | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:34 pm     I wish I was neutral, maybe I wouldn't be so stressed abut tonight. |
Chyang | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:53 pm     LOL at Kappy's first short comment about "Safehouse"....that's how I feel, too. But since I don't have much time and read slowly, I walk right around the "safehouse" threads, thinking I already know what they each might say. I don't have to raise my hand to be counted as a neutral poster here, I know who I am and my posts speak my views. Can't find that thread I meant to post in earlier, but I am here because no one in my real life ever ever cares to talk to me about the Big Brother show-only 16 y.o. when she wanted to show friendlyness towards Mama! I enjoy being here so much, it makes watching the show so much more fun! It made me feel bad earlier that people argue, even though they all have valid points, but now I think, how ever each of us could derive pleasure from being here is okay, what each of us feel is fine. We don't need a unified feelings, this is the USA! |
