Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:25 pm     Not only does he NOT get a second chance at the $500,000.00, he has to go back home and explain to his girlfriend why he diddled her over on national TV for a girl who directly contributed to his not getting back into the house. OWITCH!!!! |
Wcv63 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:28 pm     LOL...Goddess, I kinda admire Lisa for voting strategically. Don't you think Eric will too? |
Dagny | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:28 pm     OUCH!!!! |
Cameltoes | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:29 pm     Plus he only got to go to San Diego instead of a real getaway! |
Dagny | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:30 pm     Keep in mind.. Lisa knew Eric wanted to play the game. She voted to keep him out of the game for her own personal advancement. Could he be a bit sore?? I think... |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:30 pm     Ya, I'm with you Wcv - I hope E sees why. She's gotta concentrate, and he was a liability. Together, they wouldn't win it. Separately, she may. Play on, Lisa. |
Tracy | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:34 pm     I bet if she wins the 500G, he'll get over his anger and hurt feelings in a New York minute. "Oh baby, you know I've always been crazy about you." |
Whit4you | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:34 pm     Well I think the two of them make a good couple - if he doesn't understand why she did that then .. they don't make a good couple so it wont matter. He clearly stated he'd rather himself be in there then her - and of course he should understand WHY she'd feel the same way. She knows the pacts going on and that she'd never be in the final two with Rod/Eric and Chaira in the house. |
Jhezzie | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:36 pm     I got the biggest kick out of tonight: first, Lisa voting for Amy, (yippee!), and secondly, the look on Chiapet's face when she opened the door, lol! That big, fake, toothy smile. HA! |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:40 pm     Oh, lord - and have we forgotten his whizzed-off boss? He's just finding out about that. Pass the jug to Eric, Hillbilly. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:41 pm     IF they make a good couple he should support her 100%. He's the one with a career; let her go for the money! And if he's all p!ssed off with her, then she'll be able to see his true colors and walk away. |
Goddess146 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:49 pm     Wcv, you hit the nail on the head. I will never forget (nor forgive) Eric for what he said about Lisa. Eric and Roddy were playing chess. It appeared that Gerry was going to nominate Lisa and Chiara with Lisa being the one intended to be voted out. Eric says to Roddy: "Well, if Lisa's gotta go, she's gotta go ..... at least I know I am getting laid after this." |
Dagny | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:51 pm     Goddess...with stuff like that said...can you really see them being together after the show? |
Wcv63 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:25 pm     Never was a big Eric fan and REALLY wanted to be. My hubby is a firefighter (Captain) and I really admire what FFs do. I was all set to really pull for him and root him on all the way to the BIG win. Then something happened. I got to see Eric for who he was. He made the comment Goddess quoted and others similar that showed little respect for Lisa as woman. Maybe Roddy was rubbing off on him. Maybe he was indulging in the sport of lockerroom posturing. Whatever. I'm glad he's out and has no chance to return. Gooooooo Lisa! |
Max | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:31 pm     Haven't read through this whole thread, but I don't think it can be that bad to be Eric tonight. Sure, he lost a second chance for the $500K, but let's look at the up side:- He gets the stipend for the time he was in the house.
- He met Lisa and seems to really like her and got to spend a lot of time with her.
- He can now go home to the semi-celebrity he's garnered from being on the show.
- He probably still has his job.
- He can watch the live feeds and see Lisa crying because she misses him (chances are this will be on tomorrow's show, too).
- He gets to have his sanity back (that place starts to make people nutso after a few weeks).
- In a few weeks, he'll see Lisa again (chances are, he'll be in the studio when Lisa walks out).
Not such a bad position, seems to me. Besides, having Amy back is more fun!  |
Margie | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:35 pm     Lisa voted against her boyfriend for strategic reasons, just like Chiara voted against her friend for strategic reasons. I think Lisa realized that she's no better than Chiara and that's why she called for the emergency diary room. The problem with both of their strategies is that Eric would have backed Lisa more than Amy will and Lisa would have backed Chiara more than Eric would have. I found Eric's earlier comments extremely rude and locker room-ish, but I think that was before he fell for her and at the end I honestly thought they had a real relationship going. LOL The vote tonight proved how naive I am. |
Wendo | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:55 pm     Margie, Chiara would be fine with Lisa if she had just been honest with her up front. Chiara had said a while back that she would always support her, that she had her back. Then, she lied about why she voted to evict Lisa. Lisa gave Chiara ample opportunity to come clean. And, I believe, if she had, Lisa would trust Chiara. As for Lisa voting against Eric to return, apples and oranges. It is not the same thing. They never had any promise to vote him back in the house. So, she hasn't broken any promise. She did not betray Eric because there was nothing to betray. |
Wannabb3 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:57 pm     Even if she voted for him to return......he still would not have gotten the 4 votes he needed! |
Margie | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:05 pm     Wendo, if lies were a reason to break alliances, no one in the house would be in an alliance. Lisa was offended that Chiara voted against her -- the lie was just an easy excuse. Chiara probably realized she didn't have a good reason to vote Lisa out and was steppin and fetchin trying to come up with something. Wrong? You bet - both in terms of friendship and strategy. Lisa did the exact same thing. Wrong again? You bet. Again both in terms of friendship (though this friendship *seemed* to be closer) and strategy. Each thought it was to their benefit and each betrayed their best friend in the house. I think you're wrong on the last point, there was *something* to betray, though there probably isn't anymore. Lisa not only risked her time in the house (you know the HGs will use this against her) she risked her time outside of the house with Eric. |
Hippyt | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:12 pm     Margie,I don't see it that way at all.... I was proud of Lisa for her vote tonight. I knew she would do it. This is a game for MONEY,a game. She wasn't playing before ,now she is,she's playing the game. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:14 pm     If Lisa voted against Eric's return for strategIC purposes, I would love to hear what that strategy might be. She basically is admitting she has no need for an ally. I cannot for the life of me find one good reason why she wouldn't bring him back. Two people that close should be able to put their heads together and come up with one hell of a plan. Since the vote was 5-2, the whole idea would never have been played out. But her thinking puzzles me anyway. |
Goddess146 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:21 pm     Don't forget how hard Eric and Roddy worked to get Lisa voted out. With friends like Roddy, Chiara and Eric in that house, Lisa does not need enemies. |
Annitar | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:23 pm     Eric was NOT Lisa's ally! He was RODDY's ally and only Roddy's. He was before he left and most certainly would have been when he returned. Lisa knew that and she did the right thing! As far as Chia goes.... uuggh! I just can't even discuss her anymore! |
Uhoh | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:24 pm     woodpecker - i can think of several reasons: - she knows she loses focus when he's around (it's not until he left that she got into the game) and knows she has this weakness when she's with men - eric is closely aligned with roddy, whom she now sees as important to get out of the game, and wants to avoid the conflict inherent in their being on different sides on this - she knows she was a target because of her 'alliance' with eric and doesn't want to set herself up again |
Snee | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:46 pm     i second that post, uhoh. now i don't have to type it all myself! |
