I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Chicken George Lives!

Whatever that means.

I hope they walk. It would show they have some dignity left. In retrospect, Chicken George and pals in BB1 came close to immortality with his "almost" walkout, but since he didn't, he and his fellow would-be rebels are now just also-rans. Amy and Marcellas could really show some style if they walked right out.

Being ejected is shameful, and the one who would be left would know it is just a matter of time before being picked off. It would just be torture to stay with no friends or allies. They can walk out with lots of pride.

Amy talked about this with Marcellas last week. She knows that she is a different class from the rest of the pack, and the reason she clicked with Marcellas is that he is of a similar class.

With the exception of Danielle and Jason, the rest of the group are people Amy and Marcellas cannot relate to. Amy and Marcellas are so very far out of their league. Whether that classy, so-called superior league is made of of better people is, of course, debatable, but they are indeed different, and never the twain shall meet.

I personally like the lower class people (the so-called white trash), like Chiara, Tonya, Roddy, Eric and Lisa (and even Gerry), because they are working class America. In spite of their crudeness and vulgarity, they are interesting to know in controlled situations. Oddly, although the lower class group has rejected Gerry, he is certainly one of them.

Josh is a professional actor, trying to break into show business and has played a character. In the real world, he would fit right in with Marcellas and Amy, as you can see from interviews with his girlfriend and his friends. He is really a classy guy, and evidently a passable actor, because he has everyone fooled with his character (drama needs evil characters, like Tolkien's Shelob or Gollum or Stowe's Legree). Although, Amy's overtures to him show that she can see through the Josh facade, since Josh is not being the real Josh, Amy or Marcellas won't find any company with him.

So, Amy and Marcellas, simply need to stay firm on this, because if either stays, they will be subjected to continued abuse. I would love the excitement of the panic button being pressed and both walking right out that door.

I don't see any dignity in walking off. The way I see it if the walk off they lose their stipend, look like chumps, and have wasted the last two weeks "suffering" for nothing.

Bo, I think the lower class group rejected Gerry cause of his age (first). Then he just plain irritated 'em, and that sealed his fate.

Woodpecker, I agree with Battlestar. What's good for one ain't for the other? I'm personally just as annoyed as the frank discussions between the women as with Marcellas' descriptions. He really wasn't bragging about it, and at one point was just answering honest curiousity.

And personally... I think it would be a royal HOOT to see Amy and Marcellas do a walk-out. Heads held high 'n all! (Although I suspect if that happens, then BB will bring back two of the evicted HGs. <sigh> Of course, they might be watching BB3 coverage, and might have an unfair advantage! <snicker>)

Contractually, I believe they have to be paid their stipend per SAG regulations and state laws. They would most likely create a spurt of cashflow for Arnie, so I doubt he'd be too hard on them.

When they signed that contract they agreed to waive their stip if they walk.

If these two walk out, they will not show any "dignity" or "morality" - for pete's sake this is a silly game. They know the rules of the game and chose to participat in it, so walking out in my eyes is just showing defeat and babyness (if that's a word).

Chicken George & the gang were rebelling against BB, as a group. These two are acting like kids who didn't get their way. I don't even understand why they are surprised to be nominated together.

I really like both of them, but Amy's immaturity ruined both their chances, and unfortunately for Mar, he got cought up in this mess with her.

I agree Zenya..if they walk it will show that they are sore losers and didn't have enough dignity to at least finish the game..that they willingly signed up for in the first place..you don't see Gerry walking even though he is tormented and is the butt of all the jokes in the bb house, and they all hate him..he is still there playing the game..even if he knows his time will come soon..I will have little to no respect for Amy and Marcellas if they walk..it isn't good sportsmanship and it's just stupid..they dont even have a good reason..just because they got nominated together!?...big deal that is part of the game and they know it was going to happen sooner or later..I am already disgusted with them..for even thinking they are too good for everybody else in the house and need to walk now...just my opinion

This is not up for discussion with me. The graphic descriptions that Marcellus used in describing "fecal" deposits was the furthest thing from classy I have seen. Marcellus would be the winner of any competition of crude comments. No Battlestar, I don't.

Agree with you Woodpecker. Marcellas wins hands down for the crudest comments out of anyones mouth. It is not even close.

Apparently the DR talked them out of it, so panic over for now....

Mar saying that they are not going to walk out of the house. Well, he isn't anyway. They went on to talk about how nobody remembers Justin since the knife incident. (FOTH of course on that one!)


Anyway, he is not going..

Back on topic.... :)

Marc was just talking with Dani and Chiara and told them that he and Amy had considered walking out. They thought that was funny and bizarre. When asked why they would do that he said, "We thought it would be good television." and sort of chuckled. They started listing the things you lose if you walk out: no stipend, no publicity, nothing. He said something about how BB owns them, it's not as simple as just pushing the button and leaving.

Anyway, sounds like Marc isn't at all serious about walking out.

Here's a scenario. How about Marc plays along with Amy about walking out...Gets her all purposeful about doing it. Then when the time comes, they go to the door to leave and he says, "After you." then closes the door behind her! Once you hit that threshold, there's no going back.

Now THAT would be good TV!

Perhaps where this string is going would best be discussed on a morality forum, or a political forum.

Other than who said what, Marcellus was simply answering a question. The comments made by some in the sex pack (some more than others) were said for shock value, or humor or both.

I would like to think that the reason they didn't walk is they were given a glimpse into the big secret.

Maybe, Arnie told them both in confidence of his big shakeup plans, perhaps involving sequestered evictees. If so, they realized that things could get very interesting if they stayed.

I gave my reasons for hoping that Marcellus would leave, and there is no way it can be questioned. He isn't leaving and he is still vile and not classy. My name is not an issue in this discussion. By the way Pirate, ya don't have to answer every personal question that someone asks. He has made numerous comments other than the one I mentioned.

I agree with you Woodpecker. He has made the most frequent crude comments in the house hands down. This isn't even a topic worth having a discussion about. I agree that the subject matter isn't the best, but maybe if the houseguests had something to do, it would be different.

They won't walk. Remember George and Co. from BB1 had the chance to 'make history' and they didn't do it. It makes for good drama though, for them to discuss walking. That was one of my favorite events from BB1, George and his great 'historical' meeting.:)

Bohawkins, are you on crack? Just kidding.:) Seriously, you think Josh is a classy guy?? From everything I've read he is a <>. I guess the settlement from his 'injury' is just about gone, so maybe that's why he is playing this game in such a desperate, paranoid manner.

Battlestar, I see that you need to respond by asking a question without addressing the issue. I will answer a second time. No.

Woodpecker - as R has said in the house, this is why you don't fight a ground war in Asia.
