Sbw | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 09:47 pm     Goddess... they (Chiari, Jason and ? maybe Dani) were talking politics and 9/11 today for a while. Unfortunately I was not in a position to really listen. I heard Ross Perot, Al Gore, Cheny, Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld, Clinton all mentioned, Republic, Democrat, environment, Liberal, Conservative... so they do have a clue. I know Jason is Rep but does not vote a straight ticket. Chairi is a Clinton fan. Dani (if she was the other one there) and Chiari "love" Powell. Chiari mentioned that she had not read any books yet about the "election" in 2000. Kinda surprising..... |
Mssilhouette | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 09:49 pm     You know I don't think it's so much the sex talk but that sex talk goes on ALL THE TIME 24/7 someone's mentioning something. I'm by no means a prude but dang give it a freakin rest already. No one is having as much sex as they seem to talk about. Everyone is pretty much burnt out on the sex talk. If they rarely ever talked about sex and this corn on the cob dealie happened we'd be shocked but I don't think it'd be that big a deal. When you have it every day you get sick of hearing about it. I mean I don't have sex or read about sex or talk about sex EVERY DAY FREAKIN DAY. No matter how enjoyable it is that's not ALL I have to talk about. And women have more to talk about then how to give a man oral sex. They could talk about anything else BUT sex. Loads of crap to discuss. Minny it's not about the worse thing that happened in the world today, it's the about BB3. A little tiny corner of reality TV that we're all watching in one way or another. So in that microworld it is the worse thing that has happened. Cept for marcel getting nominated. We watch or read the live feed posts as entertainment and enjoyment frankly a lot of people aren't exactly thrilled by non stop sex talk. There are plenty of porn sites dedicated to just that. So I can understand and empathize with the agony of hearing yet another graphic sex discussion. I don't care who's mouth male or female, it's coming from (sorry no pun intended) Enough is really enough! |
Crossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 09:51 pm     They are all talk, and no rock. Shut up, or do it. Who's with me? |
Goddessatlaw | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 09:51 pm     REALLY!!!! This is progress - maybe that's the part where we always get the FOTH - when they're discussing unsexy world issues (ps not surprised about the Chiara/Clinton thing, and has anyone noticed the surfeit of cigars in the house?) |
Keiffer | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 09:55 pm     When I am with my friends I know we don't spend hour upon hours talking about /11, international politics, jihads, the horrors in the middle east, a booked they'd once cracked, a teacher they liked in grade school, their favorite movie stars, their biggest heros, a favorite relative they'd lost, the aids plague in general, what they'd like to be when they grow up, what kind of parents they have, where they see themselves ten years from now. Granted some times there are moments for discussion of a more serious nature, but in general I don't want to spend all my time talking about srious stuff. There has been lots of talks about movies, TV shows, today Chiara, Jason, and Daniel talked politics, they talk about previous relationships, their family, and number of other things. This show would be so boring if they kept that up all the time. |
Minnyace01 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:00 pm     Mssilouette - they aren't talking about sex all day. The problem is that when they do, that's all everyone on the boards can talk about. If you figured out the total amount of time that they talk about it, I've got a feeling that it would be a pretty small percentage of the day. |

Zeyna | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:19 pm     Minny, I agree with you. I've been wasting away my vacation watching this stuff, and frankly there are a lot less sexual conversations going on than it seems. It's just that every time one comes up, there's a huge discussion about how everyone is sick of it. |
Goddessatlaw | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:19 pm     Keiffer: When I'm with my friends, we DO spend hours discussing exactly those things - things which don't revolve around which positions of the karma sutra we've introduced into our routines just to spice it up and hopefully get a man in the chute. Sure, there's room for some of it. However, it seems to be the sum and total of these girls' ability to communicate with the opposite sex (and each other). No problem with it otherwise - but a few minutes of homage today to something outside of their usual line of discourse doesn't convince me that they've among them any level of mature thought. Having said that, I also can say that they at least keep me surprised at how far they're willing to go with these discussions. The word "intimacy" doesn't even seem to equate with them. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:29 pm     minny, i take it you are a guy. i am not. remember 'annie hall'? woody allen's character and diane keaton's character both go to the same psychiatrist. and woody complains, "we don't ever have sex. i am lucky to get it 2 or 3 times a week." and diane on her visit says, "we always have sex. at least 2 or 3 times a week." so i guess we just see it differently. i think they talk sex a lot more than any group i have ever been a part of. it sure seems like half the time to me...and do i really want to know that marc backs out if the guy needs to have a bowel movement? etc, etc, etc....criminy! a lot of this stuff is on a 'need to know' basis, and i, for one, don't need to know most of it! |
Minnyace01 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:33 pm     No offense Tabby, but if you are offended by it, turn it off and do something else. Nobody is forcing you to watch it. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:34 pm     i don't watch it minny. i just asked if you were a guy. your last post says 'yes'. young guy. |
Zeyna | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:45 pm     But these people are not sitting there and wondering what the viewers should or should not listen to (and they shouldn't be). They are sharing their feelings/thoughts with eachother, and we are watching - we are not forced to participate. They are living their lives in the house and being very open in my opinion. A lot different than BB1 lets say...BB1 had zero discussions, in fact I remember BB having to provide topics for these people to discuss. We heard a lot about Karen's husband - which is so much more offensive in my opinion than sex talk. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:47 pm     minny, didn't you just post on the 'amy and marcellas walk out?' topic about how crude marcellas was?! no offense, minny, "but if you are offended by it, turn it off and do something else. nobody is forcing you to watch it." |
Minnyace01 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:47 pm     No Tabby, not so young age wise (44), but still young enough to know that I can still adapt in today's changing society. I have a daughter that is a junior in high school, and looking down the road, I would be comfortable enough to have her hear discussions like the girls had. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:48 pm     zeyna, they are sharing crap. these are not true feelings. these are for 'shock value' plain and simple. |
Crossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:50 pm     "But these people are not sitting there and wondering what the viewers should or should not listen to (and they shouldn't be). " Wouldn't it be nice if you were describing the crew running the feeds. Sounds like they are growing bolder by the day. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:51 pm     you may be comfortable, but would she? why does 'your' comfort matter about what your daughter is exposed to? |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:53 pm     Well, luckily no one was paying attention to the LFs, because the convo went in that direction yet again. Apparently the girls (and guys) had to have some kind of pelvic exam upon entering the house, then FOTH. |
Minnyace01 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:55 pm     Tabby - lets not take things out of context now. I never said that I was offended by it, we were comparing how crude the girls were as compared to Marcellas. |
Zeyna | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:57 pm     I disagree Tabby. I'm not sure what specifically you're referring to when you say crap, but for example the subject of this thread was not crap in my opinion. There was a reason why Lisa was talking about it, and it was not for shock value. I agree, they've talked about a lot of crap as well, and I don't necessarily care when they go to the bathroom, but that IS a part of their life in the BB house. I would prefer to hear a bit of crap and have people who are open individuals to a politically correct bunch who watch everything they say. jmo. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 10:57 pm     gosh, they went, what? maybe 30 minutes or so without talking sex and bodily functions?! |
Zeyna | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:00 pm     A pelvic exam is not "sexual", but I give up... |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:01 pm     oh yeah, we all need to learn how to give a blow job from a houseguest on the BB show. i think people knew exactly what i meant by 'crap'...not that we haven't had enough of the literal description, too. disagree all you want. it doesn't make you more right. i merely expressed my feelings and i daresay, i am not alone in them. that's all. |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:08 pm     No, not the exam--some of the expressions being used to describe it--Chiara saying "why don't you just give me a rim job?" But I'm neutral on this subject, just trying to lighten the mood. At this point, I'd watch them talk about paint drying if I didn't immediately get FOTH everytime I start to watch a conversation. |
