I just finished reading everything about what happened last night. I so WISH Amy could stay. Does anyone thing she could? Or is she just a goner? And I really wish it was someone other than Marcellus up against her. I can't believe all those people have been all over Amy about her behavior in the house and their's haven't been any better.

How can these people say those things and still look in the mirror?

Crossing my fingers for Amy but realizing it is hopeless.

Abigail she's a goner. Nothing can save her now. The axis of evil has her in their sites and they are determined she will leave without a single vote in her favor. It's sad but it's inevitable. I like her too.

Maybe Amy could get Marcellas really drunk, hunt all over the BB house to find the blonde wig that Monica had there last year, doll up Marcellas with make-up and the wig to look like her (Amy), then put on Marc's white bathrobe, slather on a peel-off facial masque, pull herself up really straight and tall and pass for HIM while the other HGs shove Marcellas out the door on eviction night! Ya think it would work?

Today is voting day. If you see the cameras start to avoid Amy this afternoon and tomorrow, don't be too surprised. That's the usual indication of who is going (not that it's any big surprise this time). Worked last season and worked with the Tonya/Josh pairing last week, too.

I want to be able to see Amy's face when she finds out she's sequestered. I think that's going to be a big surprise and a difficult situation for her.

Wcv - I know she's a goner, it just makes me so mad! These people are ridiculous. Every year I watch these reality shows, get really riled up and swear I won't watch them next year but here I am again.

I am a reality tv addict.

She was one of my favorites and I am sad to see her go. All because the other 'catty woman' couldn't take the competition. And that is really the main reason. (IMO)

If Arnold Shapiro and his team really want to keep viewers interested and sway the game to try and keep the livelier Houseguests in the house (much the way Mark Burnett seemed to "guide" the Survivors to keep certain players who were better ratings-boosters), THIS is the time for him to implement one of the new rules/changes that we've been promised.

What could he do to make it possible for Amy to stay? Um, maybe yank Roddy's HOH privileges due to his cheating in the HOH challenge and call it a do-over! Better yet, give the HOH to Amy. (Yes, I'm a fan of Amy's, and more importantly than that, I just hate to see bullies allowed to run the show. Real life has way enough of that, thanks. I'd rather see things the way I think they "should" be!)

I'm hoping that AS has hidden from the live-feed viewers other scheming that has taken place that will allow Amy to garner enough votes of support so that Marcellas is actually evicted. Her words/actions have been more consistent with what I would want in a friend than the words/actions of Marcellas, especially lately. Just my opinion!

Wouldn't it be fun if the new twist in the game allows the nominees to compete in a game for the right to stay? Instead of being voted out? That would make a few of them sweat.

Or....Big Brother could completely throw a wrench in the works by saying that contrary to the previous evictions this time Big Brother gets to choose. Marc and Amy..you are safe...Roddy, sorry, know you were HOH but them's the breaks! Bye!

Good one SIA!!! As much as I love the live feed stuff sometimes it sucks to know so much! Let's cross our fingers and say "Come on Arnie, do your magic'!!

Amy is fun and it just isn't her time to go.

I am for any twist that puts Amy back in the house - I accept the fact that she's leaving but not that all we'll see of her is the final episode!

I wonder if she'll want to go back, though (if there was a twist that allowed this)? She may realize once she gets out what an unhealthy environment it is.

I am definitely for a shakeup in the game, though, and one that put Amy back into it would thrill me.

Rnr I like that idea. It's better than the veto that they are not using. If the HOH does not know what the challenge will be there is no way they can put up a pawn knowing they will win "immunity".

Like a lot of us I wish Amy could stay. She has her problems and faults, but she also is the most charming HG of BB3 and that charm works on me as well as other viewers.

Can anyone explain why that emotional scene needed to happen last night? Why were/are Roddy and his alliance so bent on evicting Amy unanimously? Based on the live feed postings I've read it seems motivated by nothing more than a need by Roddy and his alliance to make a "statement" about who wields power in the house. This is really leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I know what the game is about, but granting Amy the one vote in her favor she was begging for, so her exit has a shred of dignity, is not asking a lot.

It's asking them to consider another human beings feelings in all this. Nothing any of them seem willing to do. :(

The reason originally for the 100% vote for Amy was to test Josh. They figured of they lined up all the votes, and Amystill got one that they would then know for sure that Josh was playing both sides of the field. Game wise it wasn't meant to be mean, or a power trip, just a way to test the word of one that was staying.

I get that a great many people are in love with Amy as a contestant. I feel bad for you guys losing one of your favorites. But don't come with the why did Marcellas have to be up with her, or claim that it is unfair, or mean for Roddy to ahve done it this way. As soon as a non-couple person gets HoH (more than likely this week) you can bet that a couple will be put up against itself. That will happen for the same reason Marcellas had to be put up with Amy. It takes way the campainging, and the potintial vote to keep the one wanted in the house. I am sure I will not be hearing about how mean spirited it is when Eric and Lisa are put up this week.

And isn't that what Roddy chided Amy for when he nominated her - that she only put herself first and never thought of others? Seems to me these HG (Marc included) are equally guilty of the same thing.

...edited to add I'm not saying that's bad - they are in a game and should be thinking of themselves to win this thing, but it was a poor reason to give for nominating her when they all do it as much or more than she does.

Wait...wrong show.

If you guys listen to why Lisa, Marcellas, or Roddy have said why they are putting up who they are putting up, usually one if not both the reasons are so full of holes that it is just funny. A HoH can not stand up there and say my alliance needs another non-alliance person out of the house, therefor you are nomminated, even though that is what is happening. Could you imagine Marcellas saying... Look Tonya and Josh you guys are both on the other team so I need to get one of you out? Of course not. So Roddy came up with another bs reason just like the next HoH will.

Amac

Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 10:00 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I am not saying Roddy was wrong in putting both Amy and Marc up for eviction. Good strategic move on his part and Eric was absolutely right not to veto either nomination. I do have issue with the Roddy's need for unanimity. It is one thing to cut down your competition. It is another thing to twist the knife once you stick it in, hoping to create as much pain as possible.

I gotta say I don't agree that it was smart for Roddy to nominate Amy and Marcellas. This is as good a thread as any to post this view.

It was STUPID. He should have nominated his greatest THREATS. That would be Dani and Josh, two schemers who have no alliegance to him or whom he can't trust. Amy hasn't been plotting with anybody. What's more, when push came to shove, he could probably get her to vote his way.

Finally, when it comes down to three women and three men left in the house, since Amy doesn't like the other two girls (<Chiara> and Lori), Roddy could probably have swayed her to vote with him to get rid of them.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

And dumber.

Back on topic, I find I don't give a rat's behind about any of the contestants who will be left. Jason seems the lesser evil, but he hasn't won me over, either. It's going to be a yawn-fest.

My only consolation is that if Amy is voted out, at some point Dani, Chi and Lisa will realize Roddy played them all and will feel stupid for not sticking together with Amy (and Lori). It hurts to watch the female HG numbers dwindle like this....

Jan

Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 04:50 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
yes Ellen right this minute Roddy is setting the stage to get Dani to be the next one evicted. He is starting slowly with KiKI like he did re Amy last week. He is busy telling her what a shallow boring person Dani is.

By tomorrow I bet he is talking about the need to nom her

I am going to miss Amy!! I realize that this is a game...but she has such spunk and personality. If you compare her evil deeds to the deeds of others she was just defending herself. IMO she was a goldfish in a poll of paranahs.

Jan -- absolutely. Rod starts focussing on one woman at a time -- putting thoughts in the other HGs heads against his latest target. Chiara is so blind not to see she is on his list too. The girls need to turn their brains on! Rod is using his.

Keiffer

Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:02 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
You know you guys keep talking about Roddy as if it a for gone conclusion that he would choose any guy in there over Chiara. I just don't see him ever putting her up for eviction, and I don't see her being nomminated against another HG's were he would vote for her eviction. Sure he in the first week talked to Eric about it being him and Eric in the finals, but as the weeks have gone on I see him more and more linning up with Chiara. Even if I am wrong about his intentions with Chiara as a relationship, I think he would rather be in the final two against her than Eric.

I agree keiffer..Roddy and Chiara are two peas in a pod..the first week..Roddy was playing Kiki..but now he loves her..he may not be as serious about the relationship as Chiara is..but he does have feelings for her..and I definitely believe he is sticking with her to the end..if they make it there..

At this point I just want to see Amy put out of her misery. Get out, girl, get out! I don't think she would stay if she had the chance now. The only question is if she will really go 7-0 or get one vote. I think Josh may do it. There are a lot of conversations we haven't seen and it seemed like he was laying the groundwork, denying he was going to to Roddy but then saying he wouldn't be surprised if one of the girls threw Amy a vote to make it look like he (Josh) did it. Uhh, that's likely.

Just please, CBS, for the love of God, if you are going to sequester her, have her dog waiting for her

Nice thought, but if her dog is back home, that's where her dog should stay! It can be difficult and dangerous for pets to fly in summer, and at least some of the airlines won't even do it during the hotter months of the year. Unless her dog is one of those tiny ones that sometimes people can bring in the passenger compartment in a special bag to put under the seat. But I hardly see CBS flying someone out to L.A. with Amy's dog. Maybe they could have a 10 minute phone call instead.....

And if Josh did give her a vote, Roddy would have ample reason to target him next week or whenever the Core Four wins HOH.

Amy's dog is a little Silky terrier. Six pounds max. I am sure she wouldn't dream of shipping him in cargo. I am sure she would pitch a fit until someone from CBS is dispatched to bring the beast to LA posthaste, or her parents would simply bring him out and the BB people could bring him to her. I am just saying I don't think there is a chance in hell she is going to stay locked up in a hotel with Lori and Tonya for 3 months if she doesn't at least have her dog. If CBS won't do it and her parents won't do it, I say she'll walk. Tonya apparently already gets 2 10 minute phone calls per day, so that's nothing. I think that if it takes a couple of hundred dollars on a plane ticket to keep Amy from busting up their plans, they are gonna do it. Remember they flew the families of both nominated HGs out every time in BB1 at least. A plane ticket for a dog is nothing.

Either way, I am still sad to see Amy go. She made me laugh. And I don't know what all the girls were thinking and why they didn't try to stick together more. Wait, I do know why, because we women are typically more catty and jealous of each other!

Oh well, bye-bye Miss Amy, you were funny as hell.

In my opinion, all of the houseguest are dumb-dity-dumb...Roddy has influenced/manipulated them into who he wants voted out, and they all are falling for his scheme. Amy was set up the minute he implied that she was selfish/selfcentered, (in other words, "i don't like you, and I want you out")and so it seems that they have fallen under his control, not recognizing his threatened leadership to the house. He in actuallity, is the Leader of the house, and it's going to be hard for someone to take his place unless power is used somehow against him. Like, possibly putting him up against Lisa....than let's see who's targeted! That's when the real game can began, other than that, Danielle is next to be nominated depending on who she is up against...if he says so....after all, in some way, he has aligned himself with most of the HGs in his very own way.

Roddy is highly intelligent and he is in high ranks in this game. I'm not a fan of his, but his strategy is right on target and he is leading in a very manipulative way.
