Strkaholic | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:34 pm     I just want to clarify a post in the Live Feed folder where a poster comes into a conversation between Josh and Chiara in the middle of it and reports it as if Chiara was throwing a fit...The whole conversation started by Josh accussing Chiara of telling Roddy a lie and making a statement that he would hang out with Roddy and Lisa on the outside making it seem that because she was voting for Tonya, he would not with her....towards the end...Josh was backpeddaling pretty hard and that is when the poster came into it....Chiara get's trashed enough and I thought the live feed folder was to report actual conversations and not assume...just my two cents... |
Kk3 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:37 pm     This is a great thread. People see different sides to conversations, especially when they come in the middle of it. Thanks for the clarification |
Strkaholic | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:40 pm     Your welcome..I hope it's not taken as if I am being harsh or judgemental..I just wanted to clarify that there was a whole lot more to it than just then end that was reported. |
Maris | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:42 pm     As I saw the conversation, it occurred to me and someone else has posted this on another thread that when speaking with Chiara you have to be very very clear. Josh approached Chiara with the conversation that Lisa and Danielle had with Roddy earlier in the day. Lisa told Roddy that Tonya had told her (are we in high school yet???) that Josh said Roddy couldnt be trusted. Roddy then went to Josh and said that he heard from three people that he had said this. Josh goes in to see Chiara and tells her about this and Chiara automatically assumed that Josh was accusing her of saying it and making it up. Josh is saying that wasnt what he meant and he just wanted to warn her that someone was trying to destroy him. It takes Josh a few tries to get his point across to Chiara. She was just upset that he was accusing her of something. The most significant part of that conversation is that it is inevitable that Chiara will repeat the conversation to Roddy and will want to know who told him. Roddy will probably vote Josh out just because of this. Guy cant keep his mouth shut. (p.s. I actually did hear Josh say to Tonya that Roddy couldnt be trusted and that he would Trust Eric more. So Josh is lying anyway). |
Ark | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:53 pm     Thank you. I actually came into the conversation right about where the LF poster did and had no clue what was actually going on. |
Meggieprice | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:06 pm     As a lurker who just is not a good typer I know that a lot on the boards has to do with when you check in and how well you hear, etc. For example Jason asked Danielle while playing cards just a little while ago if she wants next HOH and she said no do you? and he said No! and she said "You should want it" with a load of meaning in her voice and he said "really- why?" and she said "we'll talk later" and you could see the interest and concern on his face...but that was not on the post for their conversation- it was a key example of how good Dani is at keeping aligned with everyone and throwing them a little off balance. I think the best bet is to listen yourself! And certainly not to think badly of the blessed folks who somehow manage to listen AND type! Hats off to all of them... p.s. was that conversation with Chiara and Roddy a little bit ago not totally riveting? Watching the changes flit across his face! I could harfdly breathe! Who can even write that? |
Maris | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:10 pm     agree totally Meggie, it is also impossible to describe Jasons face. That is why I dont post in live feeds although I have them on all the time. I dont think I could have the self discipline not to add my own editorial comments. The live feed posters do a great job. SOmetimes I get to watching something on a particular feed that i dont watch anything else or real life intrudes and I always go to the live feeds to catch up on what I missed. I take my hat off to all the live feed posters who are doing something that many of us dont have the ability or inclination to do. |
Jogging02 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:12 pm     I've done lfp'ing so this is coming from the point of view of a poster... it can be really tough to try to cover everything, especially coming in on the middle of conversations. The josh/chiara convo seemed pretty important and I bet the poster thought it would be better to get something down, even just a summary, than to have the talk not covered at all. It can be really helpful if there's a lfp that doesn't cover an event exactly the same way you see it, to just add a quick paragraph in the lfp section so readers can get all points of view. I've had people do that while I was covering, and it's great. There's not as much coverage this year as I've seen in other years, so any help is mucho appreciated! |
Meggieprice | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:14 pm     On a LOL note I was watching that Chiara/Roddy convers on my laptop and the cats were all (5) staring at me so I unplugged my laptop and took it in the kitchen but got so engrossed in hearing him almost almost almost decide to vote Josh out that I suddenly looked up and all the cats were in a row looking at me.."Mom? Mom? We're hungry Mom!" |
Spygirl | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:17 pm     I think this is why it is so good to have double and triple coverage for the same feeds because it is difficult to get the context of a conversation after a timeout, switching feeds, or just turning them on. When only one person is covering all four feeds at once, it is just impossible to catch everything. I hope more people will take a stab at trying to post the life feeds. The first time LFPs who have been brave enough to try (i.e. Jogging and many others!!) are doing a great job! I know any effort made by anyone is much appreciated by those who do not have Internet access at work (i.e. ME! LOL) Besides, you'd be surprised at how good you would be AND - as a bonus -- you get praised for your efforts!!..hehehe |
Surini | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:22 pm     Just to add a note too that sometimes the Live Feed will switch to another room and of course whoever is in there is in the middle of a conversation so no one trying to cover the feed would really be able to know what's been going on. We're lucky anyone still posts after all the interruptions from the FOTH because of someone singing and by the time they go back to showing anyone they're in the middle of a conversation the poster wasn't privy to. |
Maris | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:22 pm     Well I was right, Rody is ripping into Josh now in feed four for opening his stupid mouth. So how many nails go in a coffin??????? |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:29 pm     I have one comment about this thread...ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I watched the feed till I was almost comatose with boredom. Decided to go find a movie to watch on the TV since I couldn't take it anymore (was quite enjoyable btw--good stupid romance lol). Come back and see all this GOOD stuff I miss. One the live feeds I have a basketball game with virutally no talk. Can I ever be here when anything interesting happens????? |
Kk3 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:32 pm     I've posted a few times, but feel funny just jotting a couple paragraphs or so when I see something a little bit different. I know people sometimes frown on short posts! |
Surini | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:18 pm     Kk3 I say post whenever and whatever you can, your info, even if not as long, may be the thing someone else misses. |
Chancesdesign | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 10:39 pm     I agree with SpyGirl and Surini. I have posted a little this year and did more last year. I am a horrible typest and find it a little difficult to type and listen at the same time. Still, if something interesting happens, I try to add my two cents, especially if no one else reports it or the report(s) are a little different then what I observed. It is amazing to me how differently two people can either see and hear or interpret the same event. I have seen suggestions that people not post about something that has already been covered. That may be a good idea if we are talking about a detailed desciption of food preperation. But if there is a heated discussion going on, especially if it is about strategy, I love to get more then one view point. I even read posts about things I listened to live to see what another person's take on it was. During a fast paced discussion it is easy to miss important stuff. |
