Did Josh throw the HOH competition?
Jello | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:32 pm     He seems smart enough. Cheryl from last year thinks he did. Lisa pointed out that he might follow Will's path. And Josh is now gunning for Lisa. (As for Eric, well, I think Eric just didn't ....remember.) |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:33 pm     I thought he did for sure when he missed the question about Lori being from Wisconsin. I've heard him joking about her working in a cheese factory back in Wisconsin by now. |
Max | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:38 pm     A bunch of them threw it, particularly on the tiebreaker. Unless there's a rule against blatantly throwing the comp, they'll always do this. It's just part of the strategy some players choose to pursue. |
Delilah | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:40 pm     Gerry is going up and I think they are all afraid to put him up, and give a reason.... I agree that Josh threw it, a lot of the others did too. |
Marcieb | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:53 pm     I think Josh just was rattled by the events that unfolded a few minutes before and didn't intentionally throw it. Just think what'd he'd gone through with such a close nomination--although the vote was not quite as close as a lot of us anticipated. As for posters saying the 2 HG's who said 800+ for their answers, Amy explained she thought the question was for one team, not all 10. That's the way I heard it during the show and began to calculate one team before my hubby pointed out it was for everyone. Plausible to me. Especially when I think how much Amy LOVED just riding on Marc's coattails into the HOH. If she could have been Queen of the House, how seductive was that prize? |
Max | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:56 pm     It's a plausible excuse, Marcieb, but I think that's all it is. Just MHO. |
Thefan | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:04 pm     Of course he blew it on purpose! I don't know why, but he did. Then again, he could have still been so in shock over not being booted out, that he could not even think. |
Guinevere | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:08 pm     I thought he blew it possibly because he didn't want to have to make good on his agreement with Amy to put up Chiara. |
Earthmother | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:55 pm     I think Josh spends so much time trying to work the angle that he truly doesn't pay enough attention to other people in the house so he doesn't have the knowledge to answer the questions. He obviously hasn't learned anything since he is still not making any connections and just talking to people but playing the game by trying to control the vote 24/7. The only ones Eric has really spoken to is Lisa and Roddy so it also didn't surprise me that he didn't do well. |
Woofy | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 04:13 pm     I agree with Earthmother ... I think Josh is so wrapped up "just being Josh" that he really doesn't listen to anybody else. |
