MEDIAS articles or comments about BB3 last day?
Sonia | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 01:57 pm     Can somebody tell me if American or English Canadian medias talk about the final of BB3? Do you have link about it? I didn't really see a lot of articles or medias comments about it. Maybe medias have nothing to add, it's the third year after all... |
Trulyscrumtious | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 06:29 am     Here's an article from Danielle's hometown that I haven't seen posted yet. There really isn't anything earth shattering in it so I'll post it here instead of it's own thread. The only thing I find interesting in this article is her hometown Mayor's quote, lol. Too funny, to me at least... The house has spoken -- Fairfield woman takes second in 'Big Brother 3'. By Amy Maginnis-Honey; FAIRFIELD -- While Danielle Reyes didn't earn the grand prize of $500,000 on the CBS show "Big Brother 3,' she's a winner in Karen Judkins' eyes. "I'm glad she got second," Judkins, a Fairfield resident said. "That's really something out of 12 (people.)" Reyes, also of Fairfield, earns $50,000 for her runner-up finish. The show put 12 strangers from across the country into a house on the studio lot where they were monitored by 38 cameras and 62 microphones 24/7 since July 10. Each week, a head of household competition was held. The winner then nominated two players for eviction. A power of veto competition gave the winner a chance to take one of the people off the block, forcing the head of household to nominate another. Houseguests cast their ballots in secret. On Thursday nights, guests were sent packing. Reyes was the only one who was never nominated for eviction. Early on Reyes, 30, formed a secret alliance with Jason Guy, who was the last one evicted. All 10 former houseguests voted for the grand prize winner on Wednesday's show. Guy was the lone vote for Reyes. "I thought she (Reyes) did really well," Judkins said. "She strategized but you had to do that to stay in the house. "She did good. I'm glad she made it to the end." Reyes wasn't as popular in the show's chat room. Many viewers who posted felt she had betrayed other houseguests. Others were quick to note they felt Reyes was the best player. A 25-year-old bartender from Los Angeles, Lisa Donahue, took home the top prize. "I think it's wonderful someone from Fairfield was willing to endure that kind of experience," said Fairfield vice mayor Harry Price. Though he never got to watch the show, he feels Reyes is a classic example of the people who live here. "It just shows that people in Fairfield are willing to go anywhere to achieve success in whatever way they can," he said. And, upon finding she would be coming home with a nice check, Price added, "That pays better than jury duty." Reyes husband, parents and daughters were in Los Angeles for the finale. The family has lived in Fairfield four years. Her parents are Vacaville residents. Michelle Burkey rushed home from work at 7 p.m. to catch live feed of the show on the Internet. "There was no way I was going to wait," she said. "I had six messages waiting and they were all because of 'Big Brother.' No dentist appointment reminders, none of the usual stuff," she said. She still planned on watching the show when it aired at 9 p.m. "Now I can sit and gloat," she said. "I want to see her pained _expression when it backfires on her. They're just paying back the biter." While she didn't care for Reyes as a person, she admired the way she played the game. "She played good. She played the game the right way," Burkey said. Reyes is scheduled to appear on the CBS "Early Show" this morning and have a live Internet chat at cbs.com at 10 a.m. Amy Maginnis-Honey can be reached at amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net. |

Cricket | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 10:23 am     Klm72, I got to the article through the SirLinksALot site and I'm going to post it here in case others have trouble getting to it. You are right..it's an excellent article. Reyes of Light Danielle dishes on losing the game and talking some smack.. Yes, Danielle Reyes was brutally honest in the diary room. But no, she wouldn't change a thing by Lynette Rice 'BIG' DEAL Danielle lied, but she still played the game the best Who’s sorry now? Not Danielle Reyes, the 30-year-old mother of two from Fairfield, Ca., who finished with the 50,000 runner-up prize on ''Big Brother 3.'' Reyes talked to EW.com about Roddy the devil, her strategy, and how she wouldn’t do anything differently in the house. You said on the broadcast that you only expected Jason to vote for you, but you must have assumed some others would support you at the end. I thought possibly Josh because I believe we played the same way -- I just happened to be more tactful. But then he didn’t. Why did you feel that only Jason would vote for you? During the Q&A session with the former houseguests, I could tell that they were taking a lot of things personally. Before Roddy asked me his question, he said I hurt a lot of people, and I knew by his tone, Roddy influenced a lot of people not to give me a vote. I expected Tonya to be harsh. It was hard to bite my tongue. I wanted to let some of them have it, but I didn’t want to be stupid. I knew it was going pretty bad when Amy came on. I didn’t recognize her voice. Then when she asked how honest I was in the diary, I knew something didn’t smell right. Every question was about ethics. Do you feel like the final vote was more of an acknowledgment of Lisa’s game playing or a slap to you? I believe during the final vote they forgot it wasn’t a game about ethics. It should be about who played the game the best. It came down to a personality contest, don’t you think? Absolutely. What was the vibe like among the houseguests after the final taping? The vibe was very uncomfortable. What makes me upset more than anything -- and I know this for a fact -- was that I wasn’t the only one who was brutal in the diary room. I know I wasn’t, but they could be holding it against me. I made it to the end and it could be jealousy, I don’t know. Did you learn any strategy from Will, last year’s ''BB'' winner? I admired Will’s game playing abilities. He was a puppet master, and I believe he deserved to win. My strategy was for people to underestimate me. I was a brutal game player. Believe it or not, there were a lot of moments with the houseguests where we talked about things that were sincere. I guess I played so good that they didn’t know whether those moments were true or not. I am a mother; I felt maternal to former houseguest in some aspects, especially Amy. I felt she grew so much in the house, and I was hoping she would look past this. I told her I loved her the way she was. She was selfish. But I loved her. What was amazing was that I always came out and told Amy what I said about her in the diary room. But I guess she took it personally. Danielle dishes on losing the game and talking some smack How conscious were you of your diary room chats becoming public? Did you ever think the evicted houseguests would see those? I knew they would see them. I just didn’t think I would be judged by them. I thought I’d be judged by how I played the game. They would go, ''Dang, that girl was good and dang she sure did fool me.'' Would you do anything differently? I’d do everything the same. If a person played like me, though, I’d recommend they fake those diary rooms. Why didn’t you give a speech at the end saying, ''Yes, I was harsh in the diary room but it was a game. I still love you folks.'' Why did you say, instead, that you’d do nothing different? You know, I thought about that, but you gotta understand Roddy was in the room and he influenced a lot of people. I’m a woman with a lot of pride. I said to myself, ''I’m not going to say this because they may not believe me.'' If I want to apologize and ask for forgiveness, I’ll do it afterwards. I wasn’t going to grovel. Why did you call Roddy the devil? My dad is a minister and the devil is known for tempting people, whispering things, having people believe things. The story behind Lucifer is that he took one third of the angels from heaven down with him, against God. I believe Roddy was responsible for one-third of the houseguests leaving because of his alliances. But he claims he never lied. He lied. I caught Roddy in lies two or three times. He sat there and told Marcellas when Josh was up that he voted against Josh. I know he didn’t. He also lied to Jason when Jason asked him if he had any other deals. Roddy said he had only one other, but he had others with Gerry and Josh as well. Did you resent at the beginning that no one came to you for an alliance, which is why you formed your own with Jason? When I went into the diary room early on, I was asked about any alliances I had, and I knew I was in big trouble. No one came to me and I knew I was a dead duck. It was a matter of time. So what I did was look for someone I could trust more than anything. By talking to Jason and learning about his beliefs, I fully believed I could trust Jason. You looked angry in that final competition with Lisa in the pool. Were you? I knew that I had to hold on. A lot of times I did look angry and spoke out loud, but I was trying to throw Lisa off. I was playing mind games. I was talking a lot of smack. I’ll admit, I hoped she would give it up. What will you do now? Do you see yourself doing more TV work? I don’t have a job. I have two mouths to feed and I have to find a job. I couldn’t tell my boss about the show because I was concerned about my chances of getting into the house. So when I got in I sent my boss [a letter] and then my boss sent me a polite termination letter. |
Trulyscrumtious | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 10:24 pm     Sonia: Thank you. I use Paint Shop Pro/Animation Shop/Photoshop & hundreds upon hundreds of plug-ins and tubes to make the animations. I like animating cats, especially real life cats...unfortunately, they are very big files and could never be compressed low enough to post here. Maybe one day I'll put them all up on a web-site, but for now, I just use them (well, some of them) in my posts. Thanks again, to both you and Eden....and You're Welcome Cricket!  |
Sonia | Saturday, September 28, 2002 - 12:06 pm     Thank you for your information about Paint Shop animation Truly. I'm not sure if I would be able to do it but I will look for it. It's a little strange to me now to leave this board after 3 months of interesting discussion with you and many posters here. I hope you will all be there at BB4 and we will restart other interesting discussion. Is it possible I read somethere than it will be a winter version of BB, just in January 2003 instead to next summer? But no matter if it will be this winter or next summer, it will be a pleasure for me to come back to me with each one of you next season. Thanks a lot for your answers to this topic everybody, have a great year see you next season! Sonia  |
