The NICE Tonya thread
Twiggyish | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:06 am     There's one thing you can't deny about her, she has a lot of confidence. |
Moderator | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:12 am     There are plenty of threads to offer up your criticisms about Tonya. Let's keep this thread on topic, please. (K) |
Mindspin | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:19 am     She has very nice breasts, not to mention the fact that she doesn't mind food being on private places. Yum!. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:21 am     Thanks Mod! Tonya seems to be a team player. |
Abigail1970 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:22 am     I think that she seems like she would be a very good friend. And I really do get the impression that she is a good Mom despite her love for the night life. I think everyone has to have their release and that is hers. I also think she looks fabulous for having 5 kids, never mind that, she looks fabulous period.. |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:35 am     Actually - its kinda funny that some people have gotten on any of the house guests for being gossipy and petty when a lot of the people here are being the same way about them. I think, as a friend, Tonya would be a nice person to know and as long as you were not competing with her for $500,000 she would not badmouth you unless you really deserved it ;) |
Bmh | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:41 am     I believe she is very honest and a truly nice person..and never really meant to hurt anyone or talk behind someone's back..She seems like a pretty cool mom to me! |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:44 am     I respect Tonya for being cool under pressure. A lot has been said about the fight between her and Amy, but I think Tonya not being able to eat real food had a lot to do with it. I think, under normal circumstances, she handles stress well. (I could be completely wrong though. It's just a feeling I have.) Tonya didn't go bonkers like Lori did when she was nominated. I also don't hear Tonya obsess about strategy. She tries to keep things light. Her banter is refreshing after you hear everyone else talk non-stop and in circles about what could potentially happen next. |
Gritss | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:45 am     I wouldn't kick her out of bed because of a few cookie crumbs. |
Cameltoes | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 12:07 pm     Tonya seems to be a loyal person, she is open and honest, she has handled a week of nomination, illness and Pb&J very well and I think she is a lot smarter than she is given credit for. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 12:09 pm     Just a thought, but these antagonizing 'nice' threads... The things posted to them if they were not silly and contrived would be better suited in the fan mail section. It would be great for the guests to be able to dig this stuff up later on. |
Sonia | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 12:15 pm     Cameltoes, you give good points. About her illness, could you tell me what happen to her? |
Guinevere | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 12:17 pm     I believe Cameltoes is referring to the infection she supposedly had in her stitches from either her implants or her tummy tuck (not sure which). |
Cameltoes | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 12:36 pm     Yes.. I was referring to her infection(s?). Didn't she also have a bladder infection? |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 12:42 pm     Cross good point about fan mail. Now as to antagonizing "nice" folder? Why not discuss what we like about a person, instead of what we dislike? Just a thought. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 12:54 pm     I don't know if I can reply here safely, but it is your thread, so I will try, maybe that gets me a pass as I am answering your question. Here is a message I typed earlier, but could find no place for it, so I just saved: =======previously unposted message follows==== I am curious about the creation of 'positive only' threads. When a critical post lands in one it gets killed quickly-which is by design obviously. In threads where it is apparently OK to be critical, positive posts are not stomped on- which I agree with. I find them to be very antagonizing as I often have an opinion on some of the comments, but must sit silent. Why is it not sufficient that positive comments can also be placed an any thread as a counter to the critical posts, as we are instructed to do with the critical posts. Most of them are just full of contrived messages where it is obvious that the posters are practically straining to come up with something, please don't post positive if it is just a sneaky slam. In any event, I think the fan mail section is a far better place for these. ======end of previously unposted message===== Thank you for the opportunity to comment, I hope you find this to be a balanced opinion. Despite that, I am sincere about the fan mail. Being a computer junkie, if I were in the house, I'd come looking for messages when I got out. |
Moderator | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 01:02 pm     Crossfire, At least part of the reason people start positive-only threads is because they don't want to read the bashing that goes on in some of the other threads. They feel that if they post positive things there, they will get such negative feedback that it is depressing. If you don't like the positive threads, don't read them. Simple. (c) Fan mail is slightly different as it's a message written directly TO a houseguest whereas the positive threads are discussion amongst fans ABOUT the houseguest. Hope that makes sense. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 01:08 pm     Thank you for the reply Moderator. (And also thank you for not killing my post, at least not right away.) I do have more comments, but I shall refrain as they would dilute the value of this thread. Thanks again. |
Chelle | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 01:11 pm     Tonya is a really good listener. I also think she stands up for her friends. 'Chelle |
Abigail1970 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 01:50 pm     I like nice threads!!! And I agree, she does seem like a very loyal person. |
Marcieb | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 02:55 pm     She has a beautiful smile, an infectious laugh, and her eyes crinkle when she does both. She's a joy to watch. Her a.m. conversations with Gerry have shown a new side of her, a gentler, nurturing side that doesn't always come out. I like Tonya and will miss her when she has to leave. |
Sunlit | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 04:23 pm     I agree about the a.m. convos with Gerry. A different side of Tonya is emerging. I think she so wanted to be one of the party girls and escape her life for a while. She's no longer one-dimensional to me and I've grown to like her. I just get icky with the sex drivel. I think they were told to pump that up, though, to be more like the successful UK show. She does listen when others speak and I like her smile, too. |
