Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 06:58 pm     I can picture Dani and Chiara faces when they find out that Amy has been sitting in margaritaville all expenses paid stuffing herself on cheeses for two weeks. Lori has been sitting in Cancun for four weeks and sure looks like she had been having a ball in sequestration. She did pretty well for herself. What is a four week vacation all expenses paid to mexico worth? I think Dani will be green with envy when she finds out. |
Pulk | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:00 pm     It would be wise not to tell them how great a time they have been having as it would give them reason to boot you for it. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:06 pm     It's like the Safary the first Survivor loser got. The best time of her life, she said. (while the others had to eat larvas..) |
Gina8642 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:06 pm     How much fun is hanging out in a place thousands of miles from home, away from you loved ones? Personally, I would find where they are lonely. I've traveled alone a few times, and it is lonely. Exotic places are much better shared |
Niceguy | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:07 pm     I with you on that Pulk. You know how unlikely it would have been to have to get those three to hole up in a hotel in the states without ever watching the show or heaven forbid, going online. Lori looked really good tonight. She was definitely ready for her close up. |
Dfwteddy | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:08 pm     Pulk -- I was thinking the same thing... unfortunately, considering the gamemanship of those evicted, how likely do you think it is that they will be able to conceal where or what they have been up to for the past number of weeks? They'll all have great tans and look well rested -- they'll know they weren't at home! And when the questioning begins, none of the evictees won't be able to think fast enough to concoct a good lie. (In fact, can you imagine Amy not telling Marc EVERY detail the first minute back in the hammock?) This twist was a dumb idea! Only with Eric's returning will change the game -- the others will be right back out again the following week. None of the other fit the new strategies, and they will question everything and everyone; likewise, the current HGs won't trust that their votes in the past won't come up to bite them AND they'll resent the extended vacations -- and no PB&J! |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:08 pm     She is probably having an amazing time. I think Lori has already won by far. She would not be alone, she has probably been whooping it up with her handlers, which can't possibly be any worse than the houseguests. Yay Lori. |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:10 pm     Also remember when Lori asked about her kids and Julie said you will be seeing them soon. I wonder if they flew the families down to them. If they are all sequestered preventing them from watching the show I dont see why they wouldnt let them be with their families. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:11 pm     Did the hgs see Lori??? |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:11 pm     Cool..Im so happy for Lori..she is probably having a awesome time! |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:13 pm     the HGs dont know anything yet. Julie said we will find out more on Saturday and I am thinking the HGs will find out then as well. Is there a challenge on Saturday? |
Spunky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:16 pm     Oh my!! I can't wait for Saturday then. I don't think it's fair that the evicted hgs get another chance but it's worth looking at Roddy's face when he finds out!!! |
Bastable | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:25 pm     A month in Cancun without being able to talk much to your family? Nothing to do? I would rather die! SO BORING! Day after day after day of the same thing... wait... sounds like the house! But I have to say--of the three locations, Cancun is the best since it's near all those ruins. |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:27 pm     We dont know that they are without their families. I think they have their kids with them. |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:29 pm     Can someone tell me each place..I know Lori was in cancun..where was Amy and Tonya..I kno Tonya was on a island though but where!..Im gonna have to check the tape |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:30 pm     Tonya was on Turks and caicos and Amy was somewhere in Mexico as well. |
Jo | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:31 pm     Well, I liked Lori from the start, and I hope she's having a grand old time. I LOVED it when she said, "WELCOME TO MY BANISHMENT" Too funny! I have mixed feelings about the lonely in paradise vs. with the family in Wisconsin theory... I think Lori is probably the kind of person who can hack it alone/away from her loved ones. She wouldn't have registered to be on BB3 otherwise. I am thrilled for her and Amy. Well Tonya is another story, but I won't bash her here... LOL |
Bastable | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:48 pm     Maris, according to that interview with Tonya's boyfriend in that Vegas paper, there is very little family/loved one contact. He said it was like the CIA--remember? |
Lurknomore | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:02 pm     Bastable, while I agree that a tropical paradise wouldn't be as much fun without my loved ones, TRUST ME I could have a wonderful time with the area to explore, some good books, great looking food, a bar, and probably some fun CBS flunkies to play with. I should have it so bad And I want whoever did Lori's makeup for this piece to paint my face. She looked MAHHHVELOUS!!! |
Bastable | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:06 pm     Yes, she DID look excellent. Made me miss her! Much better than Tonya--<edited> Okay, then, maybe it's just me. I need stimulation. I could never be in the House because you can't read or write... and I could never live in Cancun because sand and pools and tee-shirt shops only do so much for me. Send me to Bombay or Hong Kong or something, and I'd be thrilled. |
Lilacs04 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:20 pm     I thought Lori looked amazing! Wow! Glad that she's been having a good time these past few weeks! And Amy looked like she was getting some male attention...;) As for Tonya...well, I don't want to get modded... |
Lovemarc | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:25 pm     I'm sure their families aren't with them. If you're unattached & uninhibited, one can have lots of fun on a solo vacation. Those are the best. |
Sia | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:47 pm     Looked like Amy had been partying heavily in Mexico! She said it was good to get out of the house and away from the stress and would happily go back into the hamster-house. She looked so happy! I had hoped Eric wouldn't be sequestered; he really needs to check in with his supervisor at work and find out if he still has a job at the firehouse. Of the evictees, Lori seemed the most changed and truly happy, which was very nice to see. |
Whit4you | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:24 pm     Well I 'won'? (was given by my friends) a all expense paid ...all you can eat / drink 24/7 trip to Jamaica once...that was worth over 5 grand...so ya ..they are definately getting the better end of the deal except for the 1st and 2nd place winners....lol Oh and um it was beyond fun... Grand Lido hotel ....Jamaica....go there if you ever wanna be totally pampered in every way.....omg All you can use plush white towels in heated cabinets.........ok I'll so shut up now LOL |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:26 pm     whit was that for a week? so can we estimate that Lori's little vacation of four weeks is costing approx 15G? |
Laffy | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:33 pm     i've been to ixtapa 5 times, (the resort town where amy is)and it is an absolutely wonderful place! watching the show made me want to go back again. they have the best shrimp dinner there i have ever eaten, it's called shrimp alberto, i don't know what's in it but man is it good. for those who don't know, ixtapa is on the west coast of mexico about half way between puerto vallarta and mazatlan. it's less known and less crowded than cancun, also less expensive. |
Maesin | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:38 pm     I am one of those people who actually like to travel alone, so for me, what the cbs people did would be a slice of heaven! Explore the city, day on the beach, explore, beach...<sigh> I didn't watch the first part with Lori, so I don't know enough to comment on her, but I will say I am a bit jealous, and I never thought I would say that about any BB Houseguests! |
Snee | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:11 pm     good for lori! i would LOVE a month in cancun and i sure wouldn't worry that there wouldn't be enough to do. i would miss family and friends, but i would cope...hey, they'd be thrilled for me. and, although i would miss current events (or are they allowed to read papers?), if they gave me some books i'd be as happy as can be. |
Aria | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:26 pm     I love to travel alone as well, so I would be having a great time! I have to say that would be way beter than being locked up in that BB house. In there I really would be lonely and miss my family! Remember, that they were hoping to be away from their family until the end of September. It can't be bothering them too much. |
Oregonfire | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:31 pm     I'm with Laffy. I've been to Ixtapa (once only) and I like it a lot, better than Cancun anyway. I like the West Coast of Mexico. And yes, Amy looked happy, and a 'lil tipsy in the marguerita shot. |
Laffy | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:14 am     it occurred to me that all 3 locations have a club med there. the clubs are famous for allowing no outside media such as tv or radio or newspapers, do you suppose that's where they are "holed up"? also, i doubt that they are alone. cbs would provide "handlers" to go with them just to make sure that family and friends don't fly there to be with them and to monitor their phone calls. |
Allyg8r | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:26 am     Interesting point, Laffy. I was thinking the same thing. As since I have been to Club Med, T&C 12 times, I was paying close attention to the shots of Tonya - and the long dock looked REALLY familiar. However, the media situation has changed in Club Med. I can't speak for the others, but Turkoise has had TV's in the room since 1999. In fact, when I was there last August, i watched BB2 a couple of times. And there is also a TV in the main bar area. So more likely, they are in private homes..... |
Cmc209 | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:39 am     I went to Cancun in June and I'm sure Lori is having the time of her life! My trip was only 1 week - I can't imagine how much fun I'd have with 4 weeks of fun in the sun. Yeah - Lori has it made... it sure paid off for her to be the 1st evicted hg. What would be really cool is if Lori put up a website when she came back to reality and posted pics from the trip - like I said it looks like she's having a blast. |
Sia | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 08:18 pm     Hmmm, if one of the evicted HGs' friends can figure out the secret location {i.e., Club Med, etc.) where BB is keeping Lori or Amy, wouldn't it be great if one of those friends could smuggle some information in to her? Then the person who returns to the house would be armed with current information regarding alliances in the house. |
