I'm sorry, I think they are all getting positive face time out of this, making themselves look good (and maybe assuaging the own guilt feelings) and it is all predicated on Amy groveling.

It would be nice to think that ANY of the others might also get some insight about themselves.

However, it IS a better thing than all the back room whispering (which my cynical self says will still go on). And hopefully it is making Amy feel a bit better too.

So not all good, IMO, but not all bad. And kudos to Chiara for her effort.

Bless you to all those who get the wonderful screen caps.. my feed is "ok" but too fuzzy/slow to do this myself.

Sorry, maybe I'm just tired but my take on it is that they always give the prisoner who is condemned to die a real nice dinner of his choice, everyone then treats him with respect as he's walked down the green mile. Marc shackled Amy and wouldn't let her play the game and for that I won't forgive him or give any of those people props for an obviously (imo)phoney display of caring.

Damn you, Max! You beat me to post #200! :)

Sea, don't be sorry. :)

Unfortunately, in the context of this game, people don't tend to get insight about themselves until they are on the block and it's fairly clear that they'll be chopped off.

OMG - I haven't blubbered like this in a long time.

Chiara has come way up in my view and I don't think she had any ulterior motives. Even if she did it , it is still a very compassionate thing to do.

It was nice of everyone to participate no matter what everyones reasons were.

But, I am still MAD at Marcellus. I suppose I will get over it (probably by tomorrow ).

Well, now I have to go and change my favorite house guest list again.

Ya I agree..even if they still talk behind each-other's backs and still backstab and fight..at least Amy can leave knowing that everybody had something nice to say about her and they will all miss her in their own way..Im glad she will feel better

I hope this get together allows Amy to feel like she can walk out of the house and go back home with her head held high. She has NOTHING to be ashamed of. She's a young woman, subject to feeling emotional when under stress.

All this "suck-it-up and deal" stuff is just so much fluff. If I want to cry, nobody better tell me to suck-it-up and deal. Nothing wrong with showing hurt, anger, sadness, or distress. It's actually healthier NOT to suppress your emotions.

I have a soft and fuzzy feeling for everyone in the house tonight. Maybe I should go to bed before somebody goes and ruins it.

That's not likely. But its a nice thought.

Well we can all agree to disagree...cause I'm sorry I still just don't see any genuine caring from Chiapet. As I said in some other thread (I think about Josh) I think most folks are a mix of good and bad. But going off her body language and how she feels about Amy. I just don't see this as coming from her heart. Maybe she is going for points in Roddy's eyes since they have disagreed over her. But whatever, I would actually like to be wrong and she is being just kind. But I just don't see it. When I get guy feelings in life I find they usually are on the money. So I trust in my feelings.

On that note I'm off to bed before anything interesting happens lol. Nite all

Well at least this put to rest the idea of saving Amy. I think that really was Dan's motives here. I'm sure she is a sincere woman but there is still a game to play and Amy just doesn't factor into the bigger picture so in a way this was just making sure the house agrees she is going and there will be no surprises. I liked this move and saw the genuine kindness in the comments but I also saw the motivation by Dani. I still like her. All I can say about Amy is thank you for the humor. By far the funniest house guest they have ever had, but it's time to play the game.

Yeah, Marcellus was selfish in this whole thing and she should have been allowed to play the game, but he was right in one thing, she did all this to herself and she DID give them all a reason to vote her out. He tried to warn her last week when he was HOH. I can't even imagine how much pressure being on the block must put someone under.

sisalou...if I had a list of fav houseguests I would have to change it everyday lol!

You're right Wvc....letting out emotions is a good thing...usually....not in this game tho..unless it's a sure thing you're out (and even then, it's never a sure thing). We at home however can feel for them (and it would seem we do!). I wonder if they would think it was funny how we debate over what they are thinking and what all their motives are.....

Earthmother, I appreciate your opinion, I just disagree with it. Amy had every right to campaign, and I think she tried in her round about way of it. (Asking for one vote.) She just did it really badly. As far as Mar shackling Amy, well, she's a big girl, and adult. She could've spoke back to Mar and say, you're wrong and I know you've been telling people you want to stay. Mar didn't let her play the game? Please. She's over 21, made the choice to go on BB and could've easily played. SHE CHOSE NOT TOO. And, if she was playing, SHE PLAYED POORLY.

I feel bad that she's crying, that she feels hurt, and all the other emotions she's likely going through. But you know, this is the game, in all it's glory. It's ugly, back-biting, scheming, dirty, and all the nasty adjectives you can dig out of the dictionary. Perhaps, Amy's just too good and sweet to be playing this game.

Ok, Josh just said something very funny. Amy said, I so didn't want to be the emotional white girl and he says, "What, you wanted to be the emotional black guy?!" LOL!

As far as last meal for the "convicted," here's a pic of the HG's going for ice cream. Amy is digging in at the counter.

they are saying nice things but, after making it clear they don't want her there, it seems they are throwing her a bone. 'it's definite that you're going...we all have nice things to say about you...but you're going...because you're a threat? nope. you're just going.' i don't want to get into their motives, but whatever they are, i hope this makes amy feel better.

side note: WHY THE HECK is there such a taboo about campaigning?!? isn't that part of the game? why shouldn't amy campaign? is it just because roddy decreed that amy is selfish and should go and marce should stay, and everyone fell into line, including marce and amy??? it's bizarre.
