Gritss | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:13 pm     I think all 12 HGs should sue every other Hg, plus ASP + CBS. Make it a class action lawsuit, including the HG's fans who suffered emotional distress. Let's see, with 74 cameras running 24/7, discovery should be completed in about 2007. At which time, they won't be able to find 12 jurors since most people will be living in caves to avoid being sued by somebody after John Edwards is elected President. That'll show 'em. [sarcasm /off] |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:13 pm     Coming back to add: It stinks and you're getting ripped off! |
Lucas | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:16 pm     What if Delta Burke decided to give Curtis the lowdown on what was going on two years ago at the Emmy's, what if when Cassandra returned she spilled some beans (Not likely with those tite lips) The Survivor crew certainly had the skinny last season. Come on, Amy was not told anything that was a secret, yes it is not right, maybe even unfair, but so is much of what goes on in the house. I wish a houseguest did not return, I am glad it is Amy though, but it is a tv show, rules are broken everyday. How fair is it that the HOH can have a nominated person removed by POV. It is entertaining my summer I tell you! and I will not be like Chi<>a and complain, it is the way the cookie crumbles, and we should just sit back and enjoy the ride. Lawsuit...I think not...unless Amy pulls a knife on Chi<>a..but like Krista, she might get some sort of thrill out of it... |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:33 pm     Rut roh...They've informed Amy of the whine-fest by Chiara (They didn't name names), and Amy is PISSED! |
Sbw | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:41 pm     Amy just told Lisa: Just for the record, no one told me anything before I came in... FOTH |
Cinder | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:41 pm     WHY WHY WHY FOTH. Just because Amy is saying noone told her about ORD. That should be a reason to let us watch. |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:43 pm     Because any hint at manipulations by anyone connected to the show whether true or not could be trouble. |
Loppes | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:46 pm     I basically disagree with everyone on Amy being picked to be HOH and it being a setup. If any of them wanted HOH bad enough they would have endured. Amy was determined, the others were too squimish and lazy. Its no one's fault that Amy is HOH other than the HGs. By the way I think she's doing an incredible job. Lon |
Draheid | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:46 pm     SCRATCH THAT...now we get to watch lisa playing solitaire in SILENCE and Amy READING THE RULES?!?!?!?! |
Draheid | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 08:48 pm     Listening the LF's a few minutes ago, Marcellas says his "a$$ would still be in that tub if Gerry hadn't gotten out" ... The ONLY one I'd question as to why Amy has HoH would be Roddy ... he got out way too easily...?!!? JMO - FWIW |
Puckerbutt | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 09:06 pm     By the way, just because I have complaints about the show doesn't mean I think a "fix" is in. I just chalk it up to sloppy methodology on ASP's part. It allows too much for producer underlings and interns to have an undesired impact upon the show. I don't even think the producers should have freewheeling conversations with the house guests in the diary room. They should operate from standard sheet of questions that Shapiro or an ASP board committee has agreed upon in advance. Every contestant gets asked the same set of questions even though some questions would be meant to elicit desired information from target respondents. Admittedly this would be a tougher task to put together a generic set of questions that could still pull out telegenic answers relating to the occurrences in the house, but I'm sure with proper effort it could be accomplished. It would act as a self-checking system in order to elimate bias in the diary room. Of course, it would have its limitations since you couldn't directly ask either Jason or Danielle pointed questions about their alliance for example. However, I think it would be more fair in the long run. Most of the video that we the viewers see of the diary room seems to be when the house guests are on rants anyway and not answering specific interrogation. |
Tootseug | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 09:10 pm     Well I think they must have fired Jon II, and they've put a frightened newbie on the feeds. They are all messed up tonight!!! |
Puck1021 | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:17 pm     See I told you all it was a little convent/convenient

Eden | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 11:55 pm     I listened to most of Amy's talk with Gerry and Roddy and then Roddy alone. I was shocked at all she knew about the show. She said that Eric had been shown tapes of the show and knew what had happened to bring about his eviction. I'm sure she must have seen some tapes too. She said a lot of things about the game and how it is perceived by the producers. That they didn't want a house full of just men. Things like that and more. Seemed wildly inappropriate to me not to mention unfair! I couldn't help thinking, why sequester them if they are going to fill them in on what's going on? |
Snee | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:10 am     was amy sequestered in a nunnery, puck? |
Puck1021 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 03:57 am     Snee find the thread "Fishy Smell and it ain't that tub" and all shall be reveled...

Duster4260 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 06:01 am     I remember before BB1 that the comparison to "hampsters in a maze" was actually used and BB was much more "imposing" on their lives trying to force conflict. It is also one of the reasons that the HGs lined up against BB and saw BB as the enemy. |
Keiffer | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 06:28 am     I will remind people of a post I made, and others earlier because people might not read 100 posts to catch up but.... Amy's mom told her that she liked Danny. What impact do you think that makes on Amy? When Roddy and her were talking last night I think he almost had her talked into putting Danny up against Chiara... then like a light switch was hit Amy backtracked and said she wanted Danny in the finals. In like two minutes it went from Danny being up in Amy's mind to Danny in the finals. I'm just saying if talking to her mom impacted Danny being up or not even by a 5% chance that is not right. What would you Danny fans be saying had Amy's mom had said to watch out for Danny instead, and that impacted Danny being actually put up? |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:17 am     Interesting Keiffer. Amy has said that her relationship with her mother is troubled at best. She claimed her mother was verbally abusive. But it's also obvious that she loves her family and that her mother is important to her. One person's verbal abuse could be another person's well deserved lecture on appropriate behavior. It's also pretty common for there to be an adversarial mother/daughter relationship during those years when the daughter is struggling for independence. I have a point and I promise I'm getting there. Amy could have done a couple things with that supposed statement from her mother. It could be viewed as a either something to embrace and/or something to rebel against. Mother/daughter relationships are strange things. They usually don't level off until independence is fully achieved. I don't think Amy is there yet. Therefore Keiffer, we can't say how that statement may have influenced Amy. We don't even know if her mother actually made that statement or if Amy found it to be a convenient way let her own feelings be known. |
Lucas | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:23 am     Amy has also said even before she was evicted the first time that she thought Dani was great... |
Ellenkats | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:26 am     Wcv63 - that was my thinking, sorta. Well, on same topic, anyway. I thought her mom may also have said 'that Roddy is nothing but trouble' which made him all the more attractive to her. Advice isn't always taken as intended.... |
Cameltoes | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:30 am     Amy said she wanted Danielle to win during her dinner with Marcellas. She said a D/J final would be great and she'd vote for Danielle to win. |
Keiffer | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:35 am     You guys the point is that none of the other HG's have the advantage of deciding how to take advice from their mothers. Sure she could take it either way... but the point is that she was given game info. Just saying that the producers seeem to be asking for trouble. You can specualte that the information didn't make any difference in what happens or might happen... but you can never be 100% sure that it didn't have an impact on anothers chance. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:39 am     Keiffer...the point is that Amy could have made that up and didn't receive any information from her mother. Read her exit interview. She liked Dani following her first eviction. |
