Luvsreality | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:15 am     I LOVED watching the feeds last night. Eric and Lisa were wonderful together. I felt such chemistry between the two - unlike any of the other people who have "coupled" on any of the BBs, and they are definitely on a different level than Roddy & Kiki!. I really think these two will make it on the outside. Lisa'a picture gift with the "Hi" was truly sentimental. I was also amazed at their restraint - especially Eric's. I think they wanted to save their first time together as a special, private thing instead of a rushed hidden under the covers in front of BB and all us net viewers. I was also laughing out loud at Kiki, Marc and Jason's "camp out" dialogue! The banter was hilarious. Wish I could remember some of the one-liners, but I can't. I think they were some of the funniest ones in the house to date. I went to sleep with a smile on my face instead of feeling confused as to "who's on first" like I usually do when they get into their late night strategy whispering. It was mahvalous!! |
Nermal | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:20 am     I agree, Luvs. I stayed up until 4:00 am watching them. Chiara and Marci were like a bunch of twelve year old girls at a slumber party. It was the most laughs I've ever gotten out of Chi's behavior. |
Beagle | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:28 am     I was up too Nermal, and laughing right along with you LOL They were sure a trip last night! |
Bmh | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:30 am     Gezzz..I feel like I missed so much..I went to bed when they were still in the hammock..but you guys are right these 2 look so good together..and they seem to really care about each-other..unlike the dysfunctional relationship between Roddy and Chiara..but the game must begin again..the 4th eviction is tomrrow! |
Keiffer | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:37 am     Sitting here at work VERY TIRED fromstaying up until 3 AM. It was just too compelling to go to bed. I would never bet on a couple working out after meeting on a TV show, but I do think that there is a real chance of them dating so some time outside the house. It is just hard to tell how when real life hits, and you ahve to work, pay bills, and have restraint on your time can change things. Most of what they talk about are the vacations, and place they want to go, but in real life you just can't take months off at a time (at least most of us can't). I am so rooting for them though, and would love an anniversary show in a few years with them showing us their kids. |
Moondance | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:43 am     I think Lisa & Eric are so sweet and I do think they have a chance on the outside... I am rooting for them. Last night was so fun watching Chiapet, Marc and Jason too |
What555456 | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:52 am     The problem I have with things like last night being shown on TV as "reality" is that it makes people think that true romance and love can be developed in a few short weeks in an highly unusual environment. A highly doubtful proposition. While I doubt many susceptible, young starry eyed, overly romantic teen age girls stayed up and watched on live feeds last night (they were probably all on their phones talking to their friends like teen age girls do! LOL!!!), I worry about the impression this will give all of them when they see it on TV (probably) tonight. If I had a teen age daughter who was at "that" age where everything romantic and people being swept off their feet with love at first sight seemed so real, I would not want her to see it. Give her a couple of years to experience how relationships really develop so she could put this in perspective. |
Annie_Oakley | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 12:11 pm     I disagree What. My husband proposed marriage to me after dating for only two weeks and knowing each other for a mere three weeks. We just celebrated our eighth anniversary, more in love with each other than should be possible after all this time. I don't see any reason to disallow teens their starry-eyed romantic dreams. Just because it isn't common, doesn't mean we shouldn't hope for it or desire it. Are Lisa and Eric the real thing? Who are we to judge? Only time will tell, but I hope it tells true. Annie- Who will always be a starry-eyed romantic at heart. |

Moondance | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 12:16 pm     Ok that was a gif clapping... great post Annie |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 12:20 pm     My computer crashed and I'm missing everything! grrr |
Frogichik | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 12:21 pm     I have trouble believing Eric after comments like "he doesn't mind if Lisa gets evicted because he will still get l**d after the show" and the fact that he mentioned that he may have a girlfriend at home. (First time posting, hope it works!) |
What555456 | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 12:41 pm     Annie you are livng proof it happens. But you know as well as I do it is unusual. Young impresionable teenage girls who fall in love "for life!" every time a boy looks at them and want nothing more than to get married as soon as they get out of high school should not be seeing this type of thing as any sort of reality for life. It simply is not. Do you really want some starry eyed 16 yo thinking the boy she is now dating is going to be the love of her life because, after all, it happens to 'real people" on "reality" TV? Most 16 yo girls today have better sense than that. But there are some (more than a few) that do not...and they are the ones who are most likely to watch this and think it is not only possible, but probable. |
Weinermr | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 12:55 pm     At age 22 I met a woman. 2 1/2 months later we got married. After 21 1/2 years and yes, a few bumps in the road, we are still happily together. It DOES happen - maybe more frequently than some realize. |
Drpepper | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:04 pm     You go Annie! I fell in love with my husband at 11 and saw him again when I was 16 and that was all it took. Now I am 37 and we have been married over twenty years. My Dad married my stepmom after 2 weeks of dating,now have been married 26 years, and she is not a stepmom due to divorce, a drunk driver killed my Mom on her way home from work. So, I don't know if it is real for Eric and Lisa, but funnier things have happened. |
Pagal | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:12 pm     It DOES happen - twice for me!! I married my first husband 7 weeks after I met him and we were married 18 years. Sadly, he died of leukemia and I thought my life was over too - he was the love of my life. Life had other plans for me though. I met another wonderful man and married him 4 months after we met and we've been married almost 7 years now. |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:19 pm     These are very sweet stories! I had no idea there were so many people who came from a similiar place. I'm kind of indifferent to the whole Lisa-Eric thing. If things turn out well, good for them. If not, <shrug>. They were kinda boring to watch for me. |
Mystari | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:25 pm     I'm also a "love at first sight" winner. My hubby and I met due to a "pity date" (basically his sister - who I worked with kept telling me about this brother of hers who just moved to town, didn't know anyone, didn't go out much - while she was telling him about this co-worker that didn't know many people, never went out much, etc. - how could we say no?) We moved in together after 3 weeks - got around to getting married a year later. (We wanted to be SURE we would still love each other after the lust wore off). We will be celebrating our 9th Wedding Anniversary next month. P.S. The lust still hasn't worn off - isn't it grand!

Annie_Oakley | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:27 pm     What- First let me just say that I hope that my post didn't make you seem like a cynical unromantic person. I didn't intend it that way. That said, when I was 16, I thought that I knew everything, and the only opinions that mattered were those of my group of friends. I remember watching soaps (This will date me but it was the Patch and Kayla wedding when she spoke..) and dreaming of my wedding dress. All girls that age have those fantasies of the handsome knight(Or Backstreet Boy?) swooping in and being shot with Cupid's arrow. I think that it is natural to believe that such things happen. Whether they see it on a reality TV show, or read about their favorite celebs falling in love. They will be exposed to the idea that it is real and forever. To them it feels real and forever. Actually, I think that this show is good as an exercise in balance. On the one hand you have Lisa and Eric and it is all love songs and 'Hi', On the other you have Roddy and Chiara with the use and dicharge method. Besides, If a teenager is actually looking to Big Brother for life lessons, they have bigger problems than what we are talking about. Thank you for opening this debate What, I love discussing this type of thing. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:30 pm     zachsmom jumps up and down with excitement of all these love at first site stories!! THERE IS HOPE AFTER ALL!!! |
Annie_Oakley | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:45 pm     LOL! Can I just say "Wow" at the rest of you. I cannot believe that there are this many other happy couples here. I'm off to endure a McDonalds playland for the next few hours, and you people have put a smile on my face that will surely help me endure the headache and nausea to come! |
Mystari | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:51 pm     Hehe Annie...someone must be having a Birthday..... I did the same thing earlier today - this year I took them to the Movie theater. Five eight year olds watching Spy Kids 2. (I recommend it MOST highly over the playland headaches - but the cost is almost double) |
Angelbleu | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:53 pm     I met my husband in a drugstore...after dating for two weeks I told my mom he would be the man I would marry...he proposed to me after a month of dating....and we have been married 36 years...it does happen...(and he is 20 years older than me) |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 01:58 pm     annie, i remember patch and kayla, i just loved them together. and it doesn't date you, 'cause im only 32 and remember them. unfortunately i don't have a love at first site story. but do hope for the best for eric/lisa and if they don't work out, it is what it is. |
Firstsnadra1 | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 02:11 pm     I love these stories...didn't know there were so many like me! My hubby and I met at a combined family function. We were inseperable from the get-go. Flew to Vegas and married 6 months after we met. Been married almost 10 years and still happy! I, too, was a starry eyed teen. But at 27 I learned that "love at first sight" does happen! |
