Stormcloud | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 05:55 pm     Hmmmm.... I wonder who Roddy wants evicted more - Amy or Marcellus? I honestly think Amy is a goner if the nomination stands as is. But who do Y'ALL think would Roddy evict if it were a tie? Marcellus is the biggest threat strategically, but Amy fits into the "get rid of the women" thing Roddy has going with Eric..... |
Strkaholic | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 05:56 pm     Storm...Roddy has stated several times on the LF that he wants Amy out. |
Ryn | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 05:56 pm     And george gathers everyone around the table and says - we should all just walk!!! Wait - wrong BB.. And various members of BB say "I would take your place if I could.... but don't!! (walking would save the other person...) If they both walk - COOL! Would be a nice twist, but my money is on them not walking. |
Gouraphik | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 05:57 pm     I'm not surprised that Amy would want to quit. She was willing to a few days ago...Marcellas had to talk her out of it. I hope they don't do it, but it's their choice in the end. If they feel they're doomed, they can go ahead and try. Shapiro won't let 'em do it, though...unless he has another trick up his sleeve. |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 05:57 pm     I'd like them to walk and AS put in an alternate with no eviction this week. That'll shake em up. |
Realitytvaddict | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 05:59 pm     Okay, what about the factor of the contract? I'm wondering if the contract has something in fine print about walking out of the game? |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:01 pm     Reality - Yeah they do, if they walk or are DQ'd they lose stepend. |
Serena | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:02 pm     there's a panic button that can be used to leave the house in all three seasons, people have talked about walking and not as something that breaks the rules It's allowed |
Piratesbay | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:03 pm     It seems that they have a :PANIC: button in the house if the guests are too stressed out and need to walk out. Several of them have spoken of it. It's hard to believe that AS didn't consider the ramifications. I think it would be GREAT TV. It would not be the loser thing to do. It could be part of strategy. What if AS is trying to decide to keep them in with the sequestered few (if there are some)? Ah.....the fun. |
Realitytvaddict | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:03 pm     Money is nothing to me if my sanity is up for grabs. Sorry, I know I'd be giving up my man for this game, and if people were treating me like they did Amy I'd be out of there. It's just not worth the money that they are going to be getting. I hope they are courageous enough to do it. |
Knightpatti | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:05 pm     If Amy had gotten HOH she was putting up Chiara and that is someone that Roddy can trust in his group. This is a game and I personally did not see Amy playing it. Why did she want to keep Josh? How was that going to help her? She did some things that were not too smart and now here she is. Many people on the board love her, but I think she is all about herself. Have you seen her do one thing to help anyone else? She holds grudges and she is way too sensitive to be a winner in this game. |
Bastable | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:07 pm     Roddy was a fool to win HoH. Now he's set himself up as the Alpha Male of the whole house. And we all know what happens to people who crown themselves as leaders.... they get voted OUT when everyone realizes it. Roddy made it worse by nominating Amy and Marcellas--it reveals him as overly methodical and following a strict scheme... all the HGs have to do is connect the dots to know they're going next unless they revolt against him. I think we're going to mark this week as turning point for Roddy's position in the house. He was going much better when he was the silent puppeteer. Now he's gotten power-greedy. It marks him as the best target in the house. |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:07 pm     "and if people were treating me like they did Amy I'd be out of there" Me too. Are we the same person? LOL |
Azriel | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:08 pm     Knightpatti, no matter who Amy voted to keep she was leaving if she or Marc didn't get head of household. Voting to keep Tonya sure wouldn't have helped her. Tonya hated her guts and took every chance to tell everyone about it. At least, Josh promised not to put her up if he got HOH |
Realitytvaddict | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:09 pm     Plus, think about it for a minute. These people think they are sooooo special. How many times have they said they want Amy to try and get to know them. They are so upset that Amy thinks they are just beneath her. They don't see their actions as wrong at all. They think they're the popular crowd, and doesn't everyone just LOVE the popular crowd? It's going to drive them crazy if it happens. They'll talk about it 24/7. Yet, Mar and Amy are going to walk just so show them how truly lousy of people they are. No one wants to be around them except the ones using them and of course their own self-centered selves. I think it would be a victory in showing that people don't have to kiss a**. They can walk out with their heads held high and a smile on their faces. |
Strkaholic | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:11 pm     Personally, I would never go on a show like this, no matter how much I needed the money, but apparently, the HG's don't mind what they have to do to get the money. I have noticed that the most disliked HG's are the ones that are actually playing the game. This would be so much better if all of the HG's were in there to play the game, but unfortunately..this is not the case. |
Cathie | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:12 pm     Knightpatti: <<Many people on the board love her, but I think she is all about herself. Have you seen her do one thing to help anyone else? She holds grudges and she is way too sensitive to be a winner in this game. >> Except for the sensitivity, it sounds like you are describing Will from BBII... |
Hardywins | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:13 pm     The contractual "fine print". The Hampsters are so excited to be a part of the show and are so quickly rushed on board that they don't consider the consequences of their signing the CBS contract. Failure to perform as desired and required under the contract can carry penalty damages far in excess of any stipend compensation. Destroying a TV show could jeopardize the future earnings for many years of any contestant walking out. The contract probably requires the hampster to allow themselves to be billeted anywhere CBS desires for the length of the show. Sequestered and out of contact with all friends and media for the entire length of the TV show. Contract Lawyers can be protectively piggish. |
Strkaholic | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:13 pm     Another thing that kills me about his whole Amy/Chiara thing is that Amy has continually trashed Chiara, called her a Wh**re, white trash, etc..yet she is lauded for doing this...Chiara on the other hand, or any other HG that does the same about her get's trashed unmercifully here...a little bit of a double standard IMO. |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:14 pm     Hardywins - They can't be sued for walking out. That's called kidnapping. |
Realitytvaddict | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:16 pm     BigBrotherBelle: I learned in high school that I don't like these kind of people. I WAS one of these people. I like who I am now because I follow no one but myself. I speak my mind and so does Amy. I can't fault her for being who I am at heart. I see her becoming insecure in this house and it saddens me. She is a person that has a lot of confidence in herself, but you have people taking that away from her. No one should do that to her. These people don't even care that they are hurting her. They don't care that there is pain in her eyes. I see it, and I see her going right back into that shell of depression. I couldn't stand seeing that a whole week. I want her to leave with dignity. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:16 pm     well, if the name fits.... but it's true that amy sometimes gets away with more talk. maybe it's because she has likeable, even amusing moments and chiara has nothing good to offer ever. IMO, of course! not that i am a big amy fan, either, but she has her okay times. |
Ark | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:17 pm     I love Amy & Marc together but if Marc is ousted, Amy will be no fun at all. Also, I don't think Amy has even thought about strategy but Marc has, big time. I hate to see the team split up but if one of them has to go, I guess I'd rather it was Amy. |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:17 pm     Chiara gets criticized because of the way she acts on top of the way she trashes EVERYONE. Amy said herself she only trashes the ones that she does not respect, which happens to be the ones I do not respect. PLUS, she is funny and Chiapet and Lisa and Roddy are the most boring characters on BB. |
Seamonkey | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:18 pm     I'd be out of there too.. this is an ugly group of people. Dani is fitting right in now that she's gotten her sexpack "bid". |
