"The boys are scared that if the women are voted out, they will not have anybody to make decision for them. They will have to think for themselves.

Behind every good man is an even better woman. Thank God for wives and girlfriends."


We must be watching different shows.

And what form of awesomeness that Danielle, Lisa, and Chiara bring? Not a whole lot.

If the house is bored someone will either crack, which will be entertaining, or someone will step up to the plate to keep themselves entertained.

I just can't see Gerry nominating the two women. What a waste of an opportunity that would be! Neither Chiara nor Lisa are real threats as far as I can see. Get rid of Roddy or Eric, preferably RODDY, Eric is just Roddy's pawn.

I'm not a huge fan of the couples cause I just don't find them at all interesting people, so I feel no need to preserve these supposed romances for drama's sake. But, I do think watching a bunch of guys flexing their chests and topping each other with stories while playing chess and puffing on cigars would bore me to sobs!

Foodbunny..I dont think you realize how much of our posts and threads have to do with Dani and chiara..no matter how much some of you guys hate them..who are you gonna hate when it's all guys and no girls..basically what it comes down to is Im confident that a guy is goin this week only bc I dont think Arnie will allow another women to walk out..believe me he will find a way to make sure a guy walks out next thursday..cuz has has to realize the ratings will drop...I have said before

I don't care if a women goes again...... IMO the problem is the pitiful casting that BB does....they deliberately pick "drama queen" types, who may be looking for "hookups"--they think that will goose the ratings..except those types self-destruct and are easily played by the men......

Of course, the luck of winning HoH plays a big part of the process..... Under different circumstances, maybe a run of men could go early, but I doubt it will ever happen....

AS I recall, one of the funniest times in BB1 was when it was just Josh, Curtis and Eddie...

I'm just sayin'

For myself, I don't care about "girl power" in the context of the Big Brother game, I just don't want to be bored, and having more men in the house than women doesn't mean that will happen, imo.

Josh scampers around talking about everyone behind their back, (always interesting to read about what this little weasel is up to) Marc is a drama queen, (something funny, interesting going on with him every day) Gerry tends to wax poetic from time to time, (and changes like the wind on who he is aligned with, so not boring) Jason is sweet to listen to and look at, (and starting to play the game) the only two boring guys there imo, are Roddy and Eric (but I am starting to warm to the Eric/Lisa romance)

Lisa seems to be invisible, (well, she's been sick so I'll cut her a break) and Chiara and Danielle can't leave soon enough as far as I'm concered.

Amy was the only female that I was rooting for,
so, no, I don't care if the rest of the women go. Thanks for asking


Note: I reserve the right to change my mind, I might want to see ERic/Lisa stay for awhile, they are more interesting than that sick, dysfuntional "relationship" (if you can call it that) that Roddy and Chiara have.

I don't want Danielle to leave because to me her game is better than most of the players in the house. I don't like everything Danielle says or does, but I give major props to her because she is playing the game.
To me Roddy and Eric did what the girls are accused of doing and that is "hooking-up". I don't care for the double standard. How is Roddy the best player when he is sleeping with Chiara, but Chiara is stupid and not playing the game because she is sleeping with Roddy?!?

To make it official Gerry just told Josh that he is for sure putting up Lisa but he isn't sure about the 2nd nominee..he said he wants to play Lisa against Eric

>>pitiful casting ... "drama queen" types<<

I was going to agree about poor female casting, but then thought about Marc, Josh and Gerry's speech -- lol.

Webkitty, I couldn't agree with you more! :)

As for the question, well, obviously Chiara didn't care whether or not there were only a few women left or else Amy would still be here. I am sure Dani secretly WANTS to be the last girl standing becuase I think it would be harder for the guys to boot out the last girl, thus she would go farther. I think Lisa may be the only one that really cares but right now is more focused on Eric and all his beauty than the game.

Frankly, I would like to see the best player win. If the women can't get it together to play the game to WIN vs. letting their emotions get the best of them, I don't feel one bit bad if they ALL get booted out. I think Jason is the one playing the BEST and not only that but he is doing it without backstabbing or losing his integrity. He is keeping his mouth SHUT and emotions intact and not allowing himself to pounce to fast. I think Roddy had a great thing going til he up and went and put on target on his back with the whole HOH/arrogance/bully tactic/Chiara thing.

UHHHHH, hmmmmmmm, NO...Danielle is the only girl playing the game, the other two are playing house.

Do the women really care that women are numerically weak right now? Danielle doesn't, she thinks she has strategic ties to men that make the other two women just sources of information. Chiara doesn't, she thinks she can be a sexual playmate to any man there & the other women are just her envious audience. Lisa doesn't, she says one thing and does another: When she was HOH she initially nominated one woman (Lori) and replaced the male nominee with another woman (Amy). She should have targeted 2 males from the get-go if she really wanted the women to stay around longer. For Lisa, the other women are just patsies.

I totally agree Earthmother. LOL

I think for some reason Chiara and Lisa think they are "hot" enough to control Roddy and Eric. Unfortunately, I think Lisa has not been able to play the game very well because she has been sick lately(from what I've read). That could explain her behavior too. I thought she would be like Danielle and get into everyone's good graces.

being the fem nazi that my employees call me, I still don't mind if all the women are gone. If they allow their emotions to get in the way of the game, they deserve to be out. If the shock next week is an evicted hg coming back, we could have the guys with Amy holding court over them. I think thats a show in and of itself!

I think Dani's playing a good game and it would be great if she won. The other girls are just playing themselves. Their confusion as to if they are actually on "Blind Date" is gonna send them out the door.

IMO, Danielle is the only woman there who comes near a positive representation of women - i.e. strong, independent, thinks for herself, intelligent, self confident (beyond her sexuality)... She's not perfect, but the rest of them are sorry examples of womanhood... I liked Amy, too, for her individualism and humor. I would hope that it comes down to the best players, male or female. It could be pretty interesting to see what happens if the boys didn't have the girls to worry about, pose for, or focus on. Or use... I would like to see Chiara put in her place. I don't really want to see any more of Tonya, and I'm still trying to decide if Lori coming back would be interesting or irritating...

Karuuna, I was reading down the thread, thinking the same thing, and eady to post it, but you got there first-kudos! and too bad no one picked up on it.
I agree 100% that some of the best times in BB1 were the last days with Eddie, Josh and Curtis, and I couldn't care less if the rest of these women leave, because the nicest one, Lori, is already gone, and the funniest one, Amy is already gone, leaving only the boring b*mbos, and the actress, Danielle, to root for, and I don't wanna!
May the best human win, male or female, and if those left at the end are also interesting and amusing, that's the icing on the cake.

I have heard a couple of times about how great it was the week that it was just the three guys in the house during BB1. That was one week! Instead of one week... now we are looking at six weeks of guys only. In my opinion that makes a huge difference. I will still watch the TV show more than likely, and that is what CBS is most worried about I am sure, but I can say for sure that once Chiara and Lisa are gone that my live feed watching is going to stop. I wont bother reading the LFPs, and more then likely my posts here will slow down as well.

Perhaps women will still like the show with all guys, but one of my favorite parts is watching the women, and seeing the women talking by themselves. Being a guy I never get glimpses of women doing GT, and it is interesting to me. Watching a bunch of guys doing GT for six weeks would be boring because that is my life.

The women are doomed. They played it all wrong in the beginning and they are now facing extinction..
I don't see another woman making it HOH since there are too many men, and we saw proof of this last night.
Unfortunately we had a bad mix of women and too many men in the house will make for a lousy BB to watch. I think the producers will try to bring in a former hgs, maybe Nicole, to use the veto...Hah!!

Lets all look at reality for a second here people..if 6 guys are the final 6 what is so interesting about that..that would be totally boring...a girl cannot leave this week..besides I dont think one will anyways Arnie wont let it happen..I think this is Eric's last week here

I don't care about the ratio of male/female..what I like is the excitment and the drama..and with this mix of characters..I think we can be assured of that..

I'd rather see Marcellas or Jason win personally, now that Amy is gone.

BB1.. three men at end and they were quite entertaining :)

BB2.. last three being two women and a man, and the man won so sheer numbers/gender aren't all that meaningful.

Seamonkye I addressed the illusion that in BB1 had three guys at the end at that was entertaining. If I remember correctly what was so entertaining was the drinking night that included Josh's drunken dance, and all the guy talk going on. First that was fresh because that house had been so dead up till then so it seemed great. Second that was one week of the show... in the case of BB3 "guy" behavior for 5-6 weeks will very old after the first week.

As to BB2 proving that numbers don't make a difference that is faulty because in that case the one (Will) was the person that each woman thought gave them the best chance if it got down to them and Will. In this case there will be no way that a guy will want to be up against Danny in the final two, knowing that all the women went out first and she would get every single woman vote.

I think I remember reading about the Mir space station and how it was always important to have at least one female crew member aboard to keep things 'civilized.' That men without female influence can get a bit raunchy, manners and grooming slip, language gets foul, etc.. I'm not sure the women of BB help support this theory, but just thought I'd throw it out....

Well I dont think we have to worry about seeing another women leave this week thank god!!!...the D/J/M alliance have already decided to kick Eric out..and with Chiara..too..that is 4 votes against 2..and the talk that Gerry just had with Lisa..makes me feel like even if it is a 3-3 tie he might still kick Eric out..because I think he genuinely likes her and he seemed so happy when she wanted to talk to him
