Spunky | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:41 pm     The rule should have stated: Hgs would do not intend to use the veto should forfeit the competition (not play) and let only those who want the power of veto play in the challenge. (This way you really know they're going to use the veto). |
Ryanc2002 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:45 pm     Spunky - It can't be written like that because the game is not static, it is always changing and someone who does not intend to use it when they win it may change their mind before the time comes. |
Curlyq | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:47 pm     If they made that the rule, then the HOH would always know that the veto will be used and save their real target for Monday's nomination. Then there would be no chance of saving that person. |
Mslyegirl | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:51 pm     I don't think Eric will use the veto, but here's a question: Why is Roddy the boss of the group? Lisa was running the show when things first started. Now, neither she nor Eric are interested in the game. They only seem to care about her booty and spooning. Ugh. I can't wait for the rude awakening when one of them is up for nom. |
Ryanc2002 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:26 pm     Did they have the veto meeting yet? |
Max | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:34 pm     I thought they were having it 'cause they said Eric was in the DR getting instructions and a while later went FOTH, but I can't figure out what happened! |
Wcv63 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:37 pm     What555, I agree with everything in your post with the exception of your comparison of Roddy to Hardy. Roddy is no Hardy! |
Shadowkat | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:47 pm     I think they had the meeting because they were garthering in the living room and Eric had the veto necklace on and put the necklace box on the table. Right after that we went to FOTH. No one has been talking about the veto, so I'm guessing Eric opted not to use it. |
Poohbear | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 02:07 pm     I think Eric *wanted* to use the power of veto....but Roddy wouldn't allow it. Maybe the title of this thread should've been "Will Roddy LET Eric use the veto, yes or no".....and the answer to that question sure looks like a "no" to me. Sheesh....was sure hoping that Eric would stand up and play the game. Pooh |
Ryn | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 03:26 pm     I think the meeting is over as well - they are talking about how it was a let down for Eric and some made light of it. |
Missy2 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:23 pm     so nothing happened? |
Mizinvancouver | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:54 pm     It would really surprise me if Eric used it, since he is in alliance with Roddy. Not to mention, who would he nominate? Can't nominate Chira, Lisa so only other woman would be Danielle. The alliances seem to be the men against the women. That may change though since Eric and Lisa are paired up and so are Chira and Roddy. |
Jhezzie | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:57 pm     Ryn reports that in fact, he did not. It would have been fun to watch Roddy's eyes twitch in disbelief. Sigh.... |

Alaginger | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 05:33 pm     I think there is going to be a time when Eric is going to play his cards, but right now his best hand was to be supportive of Roddy's choices (as much as I hate to see the A&M show end). |
Barbiedoll | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 05:38 pm     It seems as though the houseguests are scared to use the veto. In fact, I remember Roddy saying to Marcellus that if he (Marcellus) won and used it..he would be voted out of the house for sure. It doesn't seem fair that someone is able to threaten like that. Maybe what they should do is give the Veto user an automatic immunity the next round if they use it(if they aren't up for eviction...I don't know what they would do for people up to be evicted)....Just an idea....At this rate NO one will use it. |
Zachsmom | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 06:16 pm     Tabby.. I was just going to say the exact same thing!!! LOL.. |
