Archive through July 30, 2002
Wendo | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:39 am     Jason, Danielle, and Marcellas are strategizing in the HRD. All I can say, as of today, she is playing THE BEST game out of them all. She's planting seeds, giving out info (but not everythiing), and, overall, leading this sub-alliance. I am TOTALLY impressed with her game playing that, if I the voting were today, and I were a HG, I'd giver the money. What are your thoughts... |
Ziggystardust | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:46 am     I totally agree, danielle is playing a very good game - i love her braveheart reference - "hold, Hold, Hold" |
Muse | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:49 am     The funny thing is that I don't think she'd be doing so well if she hadn't been left out of alliances at the beginning. That worried/upset her, but perhaps it'll actually win her the game (or get her pretty far in it, at least). I don't know if I'd give Danielle the money if there was a vote right now. I do think that she's playing the best game. But I don't have exact criteria for what makes someone "deserve" to win. I might reward Danielle (for playing a good game), Jason (for being a pretty nice guy), or Marcellas (for overcoming major obstacles in the game). If I was a HG, I might just pick the one (out of the three) that treated me the best...both to my face, and behind my back. |
C1mag | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:13 am     I think she knows when to play but my vote would have to go to Marcellus at this point. Twice on the block and both times handling it so damn well. If you notice Dani feeds off Marc's energy. This is the first time we have heard Jason actually aknowledge its time for his bro Roddy to get the hell out! He would have never come around to this theory had it not been for the support of both Dani and Marcellus. The winner for me will be the one who takes down the empire that is still ruling the house right now and Marcellus so far is the only one in that three that has taken a stab at the pretty 6 and getting rid of at least one of them so far. He's much more focused than Danielle and a bit more bold to put his kneck out there. Although I'd like to see Dani get that house. Hmmmmm.... Come to think of it when we first read the bios before this aired I actually picked her as the winner. Ok I'm even confusing me now... Anyway, keep your fingers crossed and hope this all works out. |
Muse | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:19 am     I think a lot of people underestimate Jason. He's been pretty quiet when it comes to strategy. And when he and Danielle would have their chats, it was hard for us to hear much since they usually whispered. I personally think he's pretty aware of what's going on, just like Danielle and Marcellas. And like them, he has a lot of self-control, and doesn't show his hand too soon. Like he said about Josh...Josh was trying to understand Jason, and find out what he was thinking. But Jason left him guessing. So while Jason may like most of the people in the house (like Roddy), I think he's pretty capable of playing the game and knowing what's in his own best interest, too. These three are a pretty strong alliance, IMO. |
Wendo | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:24 am     Muse, for me, I would give the $$$ to who played the best game and nothing else. What people said in front or behind ones back is irrelevant b/c it's part of the game. And, I think she's playing it best. If she's one of the last two (and I think she might), she'll win. C1, Well, Mar has overcome a lot. But, part of the game is knowing when and when not to come out and START playing. Yeah, Mar has stuck his neck out, but way to soon. As I said above, for me it has to do with how the game is played. Mar has gotten emotional and allowed personal feelings to dictate his moves (ie: putting up Josh.) Danielle has kept her emotions COMPLETELY out of it, and that's the ONLY way one is going to win. Will from BB2 is a prime example. All his moves and motivations had absolutely no emotion behind them. (Bonus for him, he was funny too...you loved to hate him.) |
Wendo | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:27 am     Muse, completely agree about Jason. He showed a lot about his game playing tonight, more than he's ever shown. AND, he's the one who pointed out how truly dangerous Roddy is as a competitor. He made that observation after the Amy/Roddy conversation. Stating that Amy will go out with a unanimous vote, but could easily give Roddy a jury vote because of his talk with her. I truly hope that one of these three get HOH in the next few weeks and put up Roddy. And, should Roddy get evicted, I think he would be completely stunned. |
Jasons_First | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:21 am     I'm glad to see people actually acknowledging Dani's ability to play the game. If Dani, Marc and Jason keep this aliiance undercover, I think they can make it all the way. Alot of people on the board are blinded by their hatred of Dani and they refuse to acknowledge that she is in fact playing a kick a*s game! Much better than any woman in the house. Quite possibly better than any woman EVER on Big Brother. Nicole is her only rival. What is it with young married women playing better than the guys? All she has to do is overcome the rodster and his stooge, Chiapet. If she can overpower the Rodster, more power to her. |
Bmh | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:28 am     I totally agree..when I first read Dani's bio..I said to myself this lady is gonna be a player..She is playing this game the way it should be played..she as a excellent stratedgy and I dont think anyone would ever think of putting her on the block for at least 3 weeks..she is friends with everybody and I have never heard someone talk bad about her..She is sly..and I can definitely see her in finals..perhaps even the winner..Marcellas and Amy already said that if it was Jason and Dani has the final 2 they would vote for Dani..so expect to see her in the house for a long time.. |
Spunky | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:29 am     But Marcellas' better watch out!! He's still on the chopping block and he shouldn't forget it. He should keep quiet until eviction night, or he should just agree with the others and not propose anything new. |
Earthmother | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:33 am     I agree she is playing a good game, but I also think if evicted HGs get to see tapes she may have shot herself in the foot with some of her nasty comments. Jason on the other hand has played both ways and hasn't said unkind things but still is playing a good game. I realize that backbiting, lying and doing whatever it takes to stay in the game is fair, but we all know that no one wants to hear those things come out of another person's mouth and like last year came back to bite them in the arse. It's not so much what is said in the DR that people are disappointed by but what they say openly in a group of other players. Making comments about Gerry, Lori and Tanya with the other players was in my opinion not the smartest thing she has done. Maybe I'm naive but I think you can play the game without bashing the heck out of a person on a personal level. Jason proves it can be done. He has told a few of them not to say those things about Gerry because his family may be watching and no one has been angry with him for it. |
What555456 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:54 am     Yep, Dani is playing the best game so far. To me, she and roddy are the two most fun to watch because they each are playing hard -- damned hard. But she will not be able to keep her current plans under raps -- because Marcellus will end up telling someone. The man simply cannot keep his mouth shut if he thinks someone will like him if he tells them a secret. He will destroy more than one person because he is so needy for affirmation that he will align himself with whomever is giving him attentiuon at the time. (Note the way he joined the guys in their comments about Amy last night after the dinner). Too bad we can't get rid of both him and Amy and let those who know how to play this game have at it. I am really getting tired of those two. Then let's get Gerry out because he gave up long ago. And if Jason does not begin to actually play this thing, let's get him out of there too. |
Niceguy | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 08:50 pm     What makes you think Gerry gave up? He's still there isn't he? What, because he's not down with the phony touchy-feely stuff? Man, there is no appreciation for true subtlety in this discussion group. HOH is just one week then its up for grabs again, folks. |
Bmh | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:05 pm     Niceguy..I dont think he meant Gerry is actually given up..but he really has no chance when u think about it..anybody in this game could beat Gerry in the finals even Josh..everybody is either using him or hates his guts..he may go far but only as a pawn..he is a lost cause..he will not be the winner of BB3..I have more hope for Josh than him |
Niceguy | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:27 pm     As people slip and masks fall, like they did during BB2, I'd wouldn't count Gerry as just a pawn yet. We have no idea what BB has in store for Amy, Tonya and Lori. |
Earthmother | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 10:12 pm     Bmh that is your opinion. Gerry has risen in the poster polls and for all you know in the house as well. You do not really know what these people are thinking only what they are saying and that could be two completely different things. You seem to have some animosity and I guess I just wonder what he's done that makes you think he hasn't got just as good a chance as the rest if he plays his cards right and the right people get the hoh. |
Gouraphik | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 10:47 pm     The way this game goes, nobody is eternally blessed and nobody is eternally damned. The only thing that's constant in this game (and in life) is change. Sure, Danielle's on a bit of a tear right now, and I'll give her a round of applause for that (even though I'm not her biggest fan). However, it really depends on who survives. I think that vicious players like Josh or steadfast, slow and steady guys like Gerry are just as likely to get to the top 2 or 3...if only through sheer determination. Josh is bad, but he's like a nuclear weapon...everybody wants him in order to keep themselves safe (although they're starting to realize that the negative energy that he radiates may not be worth all the trouble). Gerry's like a lesser Josh in that sense. What about Danielle? I dunno. I feel that she'll be toast the minute the others decide to focus on ousting her, but we'll just have to see. |
Bmh | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 10:50 pm     I dont know how you can say i have any animosity against Gerry..if you read my post closely..all I said was from my point of view and probably from others Gerry does not have much of a chance..everybody hates him,talks about him,and is basically using him to get rid of other people in the house they dont like..I think everybody in the house has said cruel things about Gerry even Jason!!..maybe ur right and Gerry is gonna take it all the way..but from what I have been seeing and reading is that he is hated by all and will be disposed of when he is no longer useful..I actually feel bad..but I am just making a true statement..go read the LFP's and see for yourself |
Gouraphik | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:01 pm     I'd say that while Gerry was hated a lot during the reign of HOH Marcellas, things have changed considerably since Roddy took over as HOH. Josh has eased up on his propaganda/smear campaign against Gerry (the "Nazi" stuff), and the rest of the house has other things to focus on now, like breaking up the couples and the like. That doesn't mean that they love Gerry, or even feel ambivalent about him. He's simply gone from an shunned object of hate to a (barely) tolerated object of ridicule. With all the constant change going on in the house, Gerry may yet last long enough to become the despised one who survives...unless Josh takes that slot. Kinda funny, ain't it? That's why I love this game! |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 06:49 am     exactly Gouraphik. |
Bmh | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 08:21 am     I dont think I would watch the show anymore if Gerry won..he would be the worst winner..even worse than Josh..ugh..I dont even wanna think about him winning..I still dont think he has a chance..just bc some ppl want to break up the couples doesn't mean Gerry isn't a target anymore..he isn't part of any major alliance he will go..and if he doesn't I'll be really mad lol |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 09:30 am     I think the biggest IF here is if the evicted hgs get to see the tapes of the show, the dr comments and the live feeds. If they do then the better person (or the one who has done the least damange on a personal level) will win (as in last years show). If they don't get to see anything then they will still feel the same way about the same people as they did when they left, which would be boring because then we can clearly predict the winner right now and they really won't be able to judge who played the best game or know what statagies were used to get them there. |
Meggieprice | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 09:43 am     You said it Earth-I can't believe they won't let them see tha tapes and all the rest...how can you possibly vote on who played tha game best based only on your experience in the house. I think people in the house have started realising that Gerry is important to keep as a vote- certainly the Mar/Dan/Ja alliance needs him. And Jo has been lobbying hin HARD after waging total war on him...Ger could be around for a while and you never know... As for the thread question- Dani is playing very very well- notice she is hoping to get Marc or Ja or Ger to do her nominating for her so that she doesn't have to show her hand yet. Let's face it- next hoh will be very key! |
Earthmother | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 09:50 am     She thinks these guys are so dumb that they can't figure out that she wants them to do her bidding, but I'm not so sure. Heck in BB1 Eddie was hated most of the show. Last year Will was the most hated HG, now Josh/Gerry are the most hated, but everyone will keep them around because they think there is no way they can make it....hmmmmm Only time will tell. |
Patman | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 10:06 am     I'm waiting on L and C to figure out that D has been using them all this time, in the the name of "girl power/girl talk". D will get tossed because no girl wants to be used under the guise of feminism for one woman's gain. I have to wonder if Roddy and Eric are sincere when they say that they just love D and never think of putting her up for noms, or is it just a smoke screen, that they are smart enough to see through her charades. |
