Gour my point is not that they should be treated as untouchables or anything. My point is just the show is going to suffer from this. Not saying it shouldn't happen.

Sawyou: Yay! I'm not going insane or blind! I've been noticing that bald spot on the top of Roddy's head for days and I wasn't sure if it was real or just me.

Thank you!

C1 there was some romance angles in BB1. Josh was mister bachalor, and both single girls made moves for him. Including the stripper and the virgin. Once the stripper got kicked out, then the virgin and Josh flirted, and even almost kissed one night, and had to go outside and talk about it.

I get your point, just use fact to actually prove them.

Sure Gour I'd let you have the 500 grand after all we destroyed the Roddy Empire of practically Perfect People!!! I couldn't have done it without you......

Note to self: Get rid of Gour after using his/her vote to get rid of the other key players :)

--nothing gets rating goiing then a thwarted romance. First ya get a week of them being worried about being split up--then ya get the rest of the show (til the 2nd partner leaves} of plotting vengence.

A romance with no bumps in the road is boring

Keiff I did use fact. I said at the END of season one, and actually it was more like the middle, there was no romance angle. Freaky Brittany had long since hit the road so no more Romance for Josh. There were several weeks left in the game of no Romance. They relied on a foul mouthed one legged guy and an uneducated hillbilly to carry the show for the rest of the time with the angle of protecting Curtis the nice guy. Thats all the show became and here we are a couple of years later.

I'd love to see this happen, though the odds are probably not high. Since Chiara (and Lisa for that matter) have already shown that they don't always vote the same as the guys and seem to do their own thing, this could work. Chiara gets the veto power, vetos her friend Lisa, thinking that there is no way Gerry would put up Roddy because of the Roddy/Gerry deal, and figures this would force Gerry to put up Josh and they could get rid of him. Course then Gerry could nominate Roddy and say he did it because Roddy's gf used veto and changed his noms.

Ok, guess its a nice dream. I think it could work if Dani got veto power. She could save Lisa on the premise of girl power and then Gerry would be free to put up Roddy.

I wonder if Gerry's whole plan on this nom is the hope that someone uses veto so he can then put the person he truly wants out up.

If a show like this was going to suffer due to the lack of a romance, it wouldn't be much of a show. Perhaps if there were no human elements whatsoever or if nobody was friendly to anybody else...but that's not the case.

The concept of romance in Shapiro-style BB games is like sprinkles on a cupcake. It's nice, and it does add to the decor, but it's not necessary to enjoy it.

Why is Gerry free to nom Josh or Roddy just because it would be as a result of a veto? I would think he is still bound by his word not to nom either one this week, isn't he?

I have the live feeds myself but if the show has bad ratings we won't get a BB4. Thats why we need what ever gets the people to watch in the general public.

When did Gerry promise not to put Roddy up this week. I thought what he owed him for not getting put up last week was a promise not to change nominations if he got veto. Did I miss something.

That's what I was thinking also Jan. I think if the veto is used Gerry would have to put up Chiara, Dani or Jason. Hopefully it would be Chiara that would really mess with Roddy, his girl or his buddy...

Well...while Gerry would be breaking his word in spirit, there are a couple of ways to rationalize it:

a) He didn't explicitly promise not to nom Roddy during the Veto nom's. The deal expired once he let Roddy off the hook for the original nom's. That's a technical argument, and it might not stand up in a court of law, but it's good enough.

b) You can break a deal if you can get away with it. If Roddy gets Veto nommed, he can't come back to haunt him. He only has 2 days to lobby, and as long as the Clique is united, he's toast. True, the "twist" might bring him back in, but you just deal with it if it ever happens.

It's scummy, and it's sleazy, but it would work. Anyway...who said honesty was a virtue in this game? Any HG who says so (especially Roddy) is either lying, speaking in terms unrelated to the game, or an idiot. :)

I agree that Gerry will not put up Roddy or Josh if veto is used (keeping his promises).

I wish he would, though. Instead of just messing with Roddy, he should simply remove him. Roddy is the biggest threat in the house.

As an added bonus: It would be more interesting to watch Chiara with no Roddy than Roddy with no Chiara. (Once Chiara is gone, Roddy will be even stronger than ever!)

I would like to see a Roddyless Chiara. Kiki ain't stupid...she's just boy crazy. She keeps on blabbing her plans to him, when she should just keep them to herself. With him gone, she could come into her own as a player.

Or maybe not. After all, she is Chiara. :)

Yes, looks like Eric and Lisa are up.
We can only hope Dani wins the veto and puts Josh up and campaign really hard to get Josh out.
That'll be nice!

That won't happen Dani has already promised that if the noms stand Lisa is safe. Said she would try hard to get veto and not use it.

I think it be a big mistake for Gerrry to put up Roddy or Josh if you look at the big picture. If he did it would break his word, even if he could get off on a technicality. Also he could use it to get a return favor in the future and then if they didn't honor it after he did they would look bad in the eyes of the others. I am thrilled Gerry won HOH, I felt so sorry for him last week, they all ignored him and he never complained, just sat and did his own thing. I hope he goes far in the game

What hypocrisy!!! Why do the fab 3 (R, E and Jo) think it is absolutely scum of Gerry to put up a couple (E says he will make sure Gerry leaves next week and leaves hard. That no one will even walk him to the door!)...BUT they thought it was a great plan to put Marci against Amy (his best friend) to ensure she did not get a vote.

Is that not the height of hypocrisy???

by the way the "what hypocrisy" comment is addressed to the HG's not to the posters here.

Eric is confident that Lisa will go. Josh says to Eric that he has to keep his promise to Gerry and not nominate him if he get HOH next week, so he is going to throw it next week. Eric says next week will be a freebie because Gerry will be up and there will be no question who will go.

Eric is busy buttering up Dani about her appearance and praising Jason to her.
Man I hope Eric is out.

Correction, Roddy is praising Dani.

Firebird05

Friday, August 02, 2002 - 07:34 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I don't believe anyone who wins veto power will use it. Dani, Chia, Mars and Jason will vote to evict Eric. Eric is gone unless the "twist" happens before the evictions.

I don't think anyone will use pov... i can't believe how pissed eric is...everyone always complains that the nominated person is always complaining, but they all know they are gonna be put up..Eric is the sorest of them all... he is really fumming...i hope he leaves instead of Lisa..I honestly don't like eric ... yes hes got a nice body but his personality in this house s****

it would just tick everyone off if josh or marcellus got hoh next because neither would put up gerry.. and that would really tick roddy , chia., and eric/lisa and dani..

I agree about the hypocricy. I was thinking the same thing. Also, Dani is putting on the act with Lisa that she is upset over the nominations. Wasn't this her plan- or at least to put up Roddy and Eric? I realize she may be just putting up an act.
