Amy's a winner in my book.

My husband pointed out that regardless of how often they claimed she was self-centered--even got her believing it about herself!--they didn't show any clips of her being that way. Only one I can think of is at the dinner when she did most of the talking. I'm an introvert, and I've had extroverted friends like that, but they're still my friends and I value their openness.

And Marc was a real hypocrit not wanting her to ask for even one vote, too. He made me furious! But I'm glad they made up.

Anyway, I think it was cruel that Roddy and the houseguests made her think something was wrong with her. She's only 23, the baby of the game. She'll do fine, just as she is!

I had no idea she was quoting Dean Koontz. I LOVE that book!!

Who is Anthony whoever?

Realfan, she was referring to the show Designing Women. Amy and Marcelles had talked about this a number of days ago where Amy said she was like the character Susanne Sugarbaker, and Marcelles was like the character Anthony Bouveau (sp?).

Anthony Bouvier is the delivery driver/assistant on the television show from several years ago, called Designing Women.

I liked the speech and all, but don't like that quote. It assumes that destiny is on your side. Destiny is the enemy. I'm in the "Life is what you make it" camp, and destiny can take a flying flip. Still, the quote sounds nice if you take it for face value.

i liked her speech and i believe in destiny as well as being in control of your own destiny. she took the high road, whereas i would have taken the low road and told them to kma.

I'm not an Amy fan, but I agree with Square. These people decided unanimously to boot her out, and the reasons were judgemental and totally untrue. She should have been direct about what she thinks, and it would have fun to see the reactions of the two women that hated her.

realfan, now i only have to agree with you rather than type out a longer post!

Cool, Snee! :)

Hubby also hoped she'd hug Marc, then give the rest of them the cold shoulder on her way out the door. I knew she wouldn't. She's too much of a lady (and they did a number on her head, too! Grrr....)

I agree that the put the idea that something was wrong with her into her head..and there's nothing wrong with her, except she needs to control her drinking, however,it could just be that she's young.
I loved her speech,the delivery and I felt that she showed respect for her audience because she practiced it to give the best possible presentation.
Amy and Marc ARE like Anthony and Suzanne!
I didn't like Dani until last night when she intervened to make them confront each other and
get their friendship back on track.
I am afraid that without Amy the show is going to be very boring!

I agree - I wasn't a real Amy fan not really sure why... could never put my finger on it - maybe my own insecurities about not being so 'put together' - physically or something... really not sure but that seems to be it she's always soooo perfectly dressed up and fixed up and all that jazz... something I've never wanted to nor never been but I think seeing someone THAT put together makes me feel like a slob sitting here in whatever happens to be handy...lol.

But anyhow - the reason Amy is gone is honestly cause of Rod's desire to keep Chaira in line by doing what she wants. I think any 24 year old who just landed themselves on 24 and on the net 24/7 who isn't self centered and thinking it's all about 'them' has the real issues! When your 24 the world IS all about you - I think mid to late 30's is when most the people I know started to realize that when people say 'your not listening' it means something - lol. When I was 24 and people said 'your not listening' I got defensive because I was listening!!! But the bottom line is myself and many others don't give the appearance they are listening or care about what the other person is sasying at that age because you think what YOU have to say is so interesting and that they would rather hear your interesting stuff then repeat their own interesting stuff. Anyhow she's 24... and her actions ..reactions and all that are perfectly normal for someone 24... and if she didn't act that way being placed on national TV then there would be concerns. Not one of the people in that house are not self-centered and so on - it's just a matter of age as to how it comes across to others.
