Aerojunki | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 04:37 pm     Who knows..That could be the next twist..WE might be the ones voting at the end, not the evicted houseguest! Big @ss here! I'd max out my card for that! |
Spunky | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 05:05 pm     Well, I'll say, don't give up now!!!! You don't know how many of them want your buddy out!! Don't be another Josh or another Shannon!!! |
Nimtu | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 05:06 pm     Aerojunki- hee, hee, hee...wouldn't that chap Roddy's hide after all that sucking up in the DR! I don't think he will actually go as I believe Chiara will show Julie what "going Queens" is really like and after all Roddy seems to be the teflon houseguest. |
Hillbilly | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 06:22 pm     ...well's i might be 'white trash'...but i's GOOD white trash!... |
Spunky | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:16 pm     I may be the only one who doesn't know what "White Trash" means. If anyone can point out the thread talking about this... |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:19 pm     See I always thought "white trash" meant empty milk cartons, used paper towels and other garbage items that were white in color. |
Hillbilly | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:34 pm     Spunky Here's some examples of people who might be looked at as white trash down here: 1) someone who would rather live off government handout than work when they are able. These are usually the ones who can't seem to hold a job longer than 6 months. 2) someone who lets their property run down, won't mow/care for their yard, keeps old junker cars/trash in the yard and makes the neighborhood look junky 3) someone who has poor social behavior/skills/judgment (like Chiara) 4) they're the neighbors who don't work yet party all night during the week blasting their party music till 3 am with a constant stream of partygoers till the wee hours of the morning. 5) they are the people who usually show a complete lack of respect/regard for their neighbors. ..these are just a few examples of behavior patterns that may identify someone who would be considered white trash. And it isn't necessarily a wealth issue...i can guarantee that down here, even though Chiara may come from a wealthy family, have wealthy friends,and be wealthy herself...most would consider her white trash because of her lack of social skills and her constant display of inappropriate behavior. |
Costacat | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:36 pm     Hi all... if you want a real good laugh, go check out the "profile" of Chiara on cbs.com. To quote: What strengths do you bring to BIG BROTHER? There is definitely a competitive edge to me, but more importantly, a mysterious side. I don't think a lot of people will be able to figure me out. What weaknesses do you bring to BIG BROTHER? I have a tough time cheating or lying my way through things. If the game gets nasty, I might not be up for the challenge. I play fair, which usually works in my favor. There's a coupla other real good ones, too. I'm sitting here totally cracking up about her answer to the second question above. And I'm doing my Joe Boxer happy dance -- in my Joe Boxers -- cause Chiara and Roddy are nominated! Tra la la la tra la... |
Hillbilly | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:37 pm     Costacat...tryin' real hard to get the joe boxer dance image outa ma head!!!!... |
Costacat | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:38 pm     Hillbilly, t'ain't as scary as it might sound! My cats haven't run from the room yet to go hide under my bed! |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:39 pm     Hillbilly - hope you didn't just hurt yourself with that post - I don't think I've ever seen you so verbose. Your definition holds true up here in the Midwest, too. Question: what do you think CHIARA'S definition of "White Trash" is. |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:40 pm     Costa, please stop - that joe boxer guy creeps me out. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:42 pm     Chira's definition of "white trash" is apparently anyone that can beat her in this game. |
Hillbilly | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:43 pm     ..i guess i's just gettin a tad touchy about this so called 'high class' gal referring to the rest of us as 'white trash.' Maybe her definition is those who have to actually work a regular job for a livin. Jest wanted folks to understand that 'class' is based on something inside a person...not how much money they have, where they are born, or who their family is. Anyone can have 'class' and anyone can be 'white trash.' |
Goddess146 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:44 pm     I love watching Kiki's meltdown. |
Bigd | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:44 pm     OMG the Joe Boxer is my fav!!!! I get so very happy when I see him. |
Costacat | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:47 pm     OK, for Goddess, I'm just doing a happy dance IN my Joe Boxers! Hillbilly, some of what you wrote made me think of Jeff Foxworthy's "you know you're a redneck..." Like, you have your working TV sitting on top of your nonworking TV. Or you wear a strapless dress, with a bra with straps, to your prom. I'd really like to know exactly why Chiara thinks she's so superior. And I love the sour grapes "if I get evicted I'm never gonna watch that white trash show again." Hmmm... I didn't think it was a white trash show at all. I *did* think it had a contestant in it who behaves inappropriately and has no social skills. |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:47 pm     Couldn't agree more, Hillbilly. My father comes from a poor southern farm family - and they are some of the greatest human beings I've ever met. Salt of the earth. |
Kat | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:53 pm     Just to offer an opinion from a New York City Resident. I live in one of the boroughs and we do not ever use the word manhattan, we say "The City". My friends who grew up in Manhattan don't call it Manhattan they call it "The City". So, if Chiara is from Manhattan she is what I would call a "nouveau" resident, not unlike the nouveau riche, she is all caught up in the aura of getting away from mom and dad and feels she is special. She wants everyone to know she lives in Manhattan as though it is some sort of symbol (remember John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever) so she lives in a tiny box of an apartment, probably near the Bowery since it is all she can afford. She will never be accepted by the elite because they don't say they live in manhattan. They say they live in "The City". |
Laura11103 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:01 pm     lol Kat, I live in Queens and you're right, we do call it "the city". I can't believe how much Chiara's been whining today, on and on about how she might not've gone for HOH the week before, how she didn't even have a chance at HOH this week. I wonder if she really would've not gone for HOH.... doubtful, but it gives her something to complain about. Yeah she sort of got screwed but someone had to, right. |
Pulk | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:04 pm     Perhaps Chiara wants to speed up her inevitable eviction so she doesn't miss her court appearence. |
Crazydog | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:05 pm     Chiara is originally from Connecticut. She may call the area where she lives Manhattan because that is in fact what it is. People from New York might know it as "The City" but the people she is talking to, with the exception of Josh, would not. |
Spree17 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:10 pm     I'm from NY also and it the city to me also. Heck I dont even know if I knew the word manhattan till I was a teenager. LOL You have the da city, da island, brooklyn, queens and the bronx. We basically ignore staten island. LOL Chiara is a wannabe nyer as well as a wannabe everything else |
Zeyna | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:14 pm     "I never had a chance, I never had a chance, I never had a chance" Geez!!! How many times can she repeat this... GET OVER IT!! |
Hillbilly | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:16 pm     ...(hillbilly really wishin he had paid fer the feeds now!!!) |
