Superfan | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:27 pm     I felt I was watching a group therapy session, an experience about personal growth and the power of forgiveness...not a game show! ************************************************* Tonya to Marcellas "In all honesty, I'm a very giving and forgiving person and I love you" Everyone "Yay" Josh apoligizes to Gerry for being mean & calling him a Nazi. They kiss and make up "Yay" Chiara apologizes for the house being insecure and to Roddy for ?? and thanks him for taking such good care of her Roddy states he is confused because he was so kind & never said a bad word Chiara states she has a huge problem with how Danielle spoke about Roddy Marcellas can't stand to sit beside the "Christian Virgin" boy glorify meanness (WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????????????) Chiara's question to LiLi 'Do you forgive me for calling you insecure' Lisa states her most favorite memory in the house is her 'growth experience as a person' "Yay" Marcellas doesn't have any questions, just loves them both & can't wait to be with them Jason & everyone crying, telling each other how much they loved each other (sucker...I had a tear or two) ************************************************* Votes are cast 9 - 1 for Lisa. ************************************************* Have I been disappointed before with game results on other shows? Yes, everytime but 1. Have I ever felt like a sucker before, LET DOWN? Never. Tonight *I* felt PLAYED! I can't believe the game has turned into THIS!!!!!!!!!! I shook my head the whole dang hour! WHAT THE??? have I been watching for 3 months?????? And I did it willingly!!!! I am laughing at myself SO DARN HARD RIGHT NOW! Anyhow. Big Brother is not what I thought. No biggy. I still got Amazing Race, which is about pure gameplay. I still got Survivor, which HOPEFULLY will still be about gameplay and strategy. Big Brother? Uh. No. Got suckered into BB1 & BB3. Not gonna happen again. Oh by the way...my opinion on why the jury voted as they did? Obvious. They jury voted by who was most popular (except Jason & Gerry & Eric), wanted to be heroes to America . So now the world can love Chiara, Roddy, Marcellas, Amy, JOSH, Tonya and Lori again. YAY!!!! So, question is: Did You Get What You Came For? Let's try not to bash, there's no right or wrong answer, we're all different looking for different things. |
Jimmer | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:31 pm     I'm repeating myself from other threads, but tonight was a pathetic love in by a bunch of hypocrites, who say the most miserable things to each other for weeks and then a quick sorry and all is forgiven. I feel cheated for even caring a little bit about these people. |
Betty | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:36 pm     I thought for sure they could at least be honest in their final moments of glory, but no. Arnie is going to lose some viewers over this mind meld so better come up with a more unique group next time... or will there be a next time? |
Lisad | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:37 pm     I agree with you. I don't understand what the heck the point of this "game" is anymore. I thought it was supposed to be a game. I thought the person who avoids eviction the longest wins. I thought there were no rules against lieing, conniving, etc. to avoid eviction. But if lieing to stay in the game keeps you from winning..... Huh? |
Bastable | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:45 pm     Superfan, one word for your position: YAY! |
Bettyrubble | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:46 pm     Thanks for a great post Superfan! Get what I came for - absolutley not! I'm not upset that Lisa won, that's all well and good. I think the only reason most of them voted the way they did was to be with the 'winning group' not who they thought played a better game. Josh has been spouting off to everyone that Dani deserved that game but when it came down to it, he would've been on the outside looking in so he changes his vote. Its no longer a game - its a High School yearbook committee picking the 'most popular' category. Not worth my time. |
Jimmer | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:51 pm     I have no problem with the way most of them voted. What I do have a problem with is the way they acted with each other. It gives the impression that you can do and say anything and then receive instant forgiveness and love. I'm all for forgiving people but this really cheapens the reality of the game. Are they all a bunch of actors? Sure forgive, but don't fall all over loving the person who trashed you earlier. |
Muse | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:56 pm     Very disappointing finale. I taped it and just got through watching, and thought, "That's it?". I totally expected Lisa to win, but man...it really wasn't very exciting. Everyone was being so fakey-nice that it made things pretty dull. I mean, can *anyone* see Tonya and Marcellas being friends a year from now? How about Roddy and Chiara being dating? No, I don't think so. Even Josh seemed to sell out, just to go along with the crowd (and probably get a pat on the back from Roddy, and maybe get in on that group trip that Lisa is supposed to pay for). It's such a let down that I'm *really* glad that BB4 won't be starting until next summer. It's going to take me awhile to get hyped up about another season. The casting people are going to have a big job in front of them...I think they messed up this season. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:00 pm     Heh, I tried to tell ya. I knew from your other thread that you misread the game. I bet they make changes for version 4 though, I think they like to keep it mixed up so we don't get exact repeats. |
Lisad | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:03 pm     I thought they were going to toss in some type of surprise. Like make them an offer of $100k to walk out the door before the votes. Anything. |
Superfan | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:12 pm     Crossfire, "Heh, I tried to tell ya. I knew from your other thread that you misread the game." LOL! Yes you did try to tell me. I just couldn't believe it!!!! And you're being very gracious by not going... NEENER...NEENER...NEENER and blowing me a rasberry! Bastable: Thanks for the chuckle! And I'm still laughing about the WHOLE dang show tonight! UNBELIEVABLE! |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:23 pm     Naw, I wouldn't do that. I think we both want the same thing out of the game. Maybe BB4 will be it. But that's next years problem, TAR and Survivor first. BB1 was the furthest from what I like a good BB game. I think its getting closer. |
Momiee43 | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:29 pm     The way I see it all the x HGs had a chance to speak to each other and I am sure they had a few choice words for each other. The thing with Dani and even Jason said it in her interview Dani really blew it in the DR. She did play a great game and got people to trust her, and I believe she would have won the game had it not been for her DR statements. It is no suprise to me that people were not so forgiving of her. Yes many of the HGs bashed and anyone with the live feeds saw that. The thing is Dani bashed it the DR and most of the HGs don't even know about all the mean things that were said. They know about Dani's because she made the mistake of saying these things in the DR. Dani was trusted by so many of the HG so the bashing in the DR came as a big shock to them. I mean could you really vote for Dani if you had been the one she was bashing in the DR? I don't know that I could. And in the Q&A she was asked if her DR s were honesty and she said yes. Hello ok so she really ment all the mean things she said. I have been a Lisa fan since the first show but belived if Dani got 5 votes she should win it. Truth is Lisa player it better in the DR thats it thats all. |
Marvez | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:36 pm     Superfan...I'm curious...what was the ONE time you weren't disappointed by a reality show. I have to say I agree. Very anti-climatic! At the same time, I'm hard pressed to think of an alternate BB3 winner! |
Lori31 | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:38 pm     I believe the best player won tonight. No, she did not play the game the way some people think it should be played but she played it. I didn't like some of the things she did or said (ed.Gerry) but other than a few instances she played a pretty "clean" game. If I had been on that Jury my vote would have been for Lisa. Roddy would not have had to talk me into it. Dani did what she thought she had to do and that is fine, it got her to the end. I think its nice that someone won one of these "games" that wasn't playing the "bad" guy. JMO |
Sanfranjoshfan | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:49 pm     I also think the bast player won the game....a HUGE part of the game is to secure the votes at the end on their way to the final 2....that 9-1 outcome certainly proved that one of the players didn't even come close. JMO |
Sunriverose | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:50 pm     This BB never meant much to me, was not engaged by the HG, etc. Like someone else said, I am looking forward to Amazing Race. Despite the lack of vigor in this summer's BB, I still watched. So far the survivor crew doesn't excite me, but I will still watch it. Just yesterday I was explaining to someone that I really love all of the reality shows, but Amazing Race is my favorite. That is because it is pure competition, not personalities. The person (team) who works the hardest advances. Slackers won't win. So, yes, I was disappointed with the season, but not the end. Lisa won fair and square. |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:50 pm     "Josh has been spouting off to everyone that Dani deserved that game but when it came down to it, he would've been on the outside looking in so he changes his vote." Actually, I almost felt like he didn't really want to vote for Lisa. When he pulled the key for her, he threw it towards the wall. Almost like, Yeah, ok, I voted for her, are ya happy now? kind of thing. *shrug* Just my take on it. |
Superfan | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:56 pm     Marves, you won't believe it. Ethan. Survivor Africa. The ONLY contestant I ever cheered on that won. Let me clarify though, I was NEVER disappointed in a reality show, just the peeps I was cheering for never won. The shows were always great! (Well BB1 was OK, not GREAT). AND I THOUGHT this year's BB3 was the best ever BB, until I watched the show tonight and saw the lovefest and how the votes were cast. I actually realized I was watching a show about 'personal growth' and 'honesty' and 'good hearts' and 'the good people' and 'I love you' and 'who's the most popular' and 'who was the nicest'...well you see where I'm going. NOT that there's anything wrong with that. Just not something I came to watch. My mistake, that's all. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:57 pm     Well, here I am in EST---four hours after the end of the show. And unlike past years, I am not going through withdrawal in the least. That is an indication to me that I did not get what I came for. Shameless Plug: After the show, I uninstalled, RealOne, fired up Winamp and begun listening to my favorite Internet radio station--WolfFM (www.wolffm.com). I missed it these past three months. I encourage everyone to go check it out. |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:59 pm     Personally I was throughly disgusted with the final show. The love and adoration they showed for each other was BS. Tonya forgave Marcellas yet she couldn't forgive Danielle??? Obviously we weren't watching the same feeds and such. OR she just is mad because she wasn't in the final 2. Which is what I got from the whole group.<> I am so disappointed it isn't even funny. While I am happy that Lisa won (I would have been happy with either) I think Danielle played a heck of a game, and Lisa...well I think she didn't play that great. She rode on the coattails of Danielle and Jason in the end. AND I think Lisa knowing about Danielle and Jason was UTTER BS! I think she was just saying that, the body language was there like oh ya I am not gonna look stupid...I saw you were an alliance...grrrrrrrrrrrr...... |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 02:07 am     "Did I get what I came for?" How often do I ever get what I came for? (Except for McDonald's) LOL |
Adrian | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 02:36 am     I'm sorry but I have to agreee the HGs are indeed a bunch of hypocrites. I expect BB4 to be a big boring snorefest and kissing of @## of among the HGs. Lisa deserves to win but definitely something is wrong with how the way they all conducted themselves while inside the house and what really happened while their out of the house and the hypocrasy of most of them. Sorry for the rant just my opinion. You know I'm big fan of Danielle in this game. There is nothing wrong being voted (or lose) by 1-9, that's part of the game. The hypocrasy and everything got into my nerve. And I do feel that this is not the show/game I'll be watching again and waste my 3 months again in the future. BB4 is going to be another BB1 that many fans of this board love. Congratulations to Lisa and her fans in this board. |
Eden | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 02:43 am     Forgiveness served up for everyone.... except the person who DESERVED to win! DANIELLE!!!! Can we all chant SOUR GRAPES in unison? All the HGs heaped venom on each other and in the end they layed it all at Danielle's feet. Convenient. I give Danielle kudo's for not sucking up to that lot of hypocrites. She accepted complete responsibility for what she had done. Even though I think she could have explained her actions from a strategic point of view, she didn't bother. I thought I would choke when Lisa said Danielle was there because of HER! Lisa wouldn't have had the CHANCE to choose Danielle for the final two if it hadn't been for DANIELLE! And don't even get me started on Marcellas, who was the worst basher of other HGs and the world at large, suddenly transformed into the Tin Man from the WIZ of OZ with his BIG FANTASTIC heart! UGH! Superfan, what a fantastic post! You vented all my frustrations about the game and this years lousy contestants. There were only TWO that played their own game: Danielle and Jason. The rest of them have a lot of growing up to do! Will I watch again? Hard to say now, seems kind of silly to invest more in the game as a viewer than those actually PLAYING it. They don't seem to understand it. So, not sure I'll bother. Since so many here revere the memory of BB 1 (which I found to be a boring love-fest too), I guess my reasons for interest don't much match those of most posters. I'll probably feel differently by next year when this bitter taste has become less acrid. Until then... yeah, what a let down! |
Eden | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 02:48 am     I agree, the fact that Danielle was condemned mostly for her honesty in the diary room looms lamentable for viewers next season. Pablum all around for everyone... yum, yum ...YUCK! |
