Bmh | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:14 pm     Battlestar..he was still trashing..it doesn't matter if he is nominated or not..he was still trashing a houseguest just as others have...just because he is on the block doesn't mean it is ok to trash your opponent..once again he is no better than the rest..and I have even less respect for him because you would think a 51 year old would be a little more mature then to trash someone but I guess not Besides he doesn't have a chance in hel to stay anyways |
Kathyb | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:14 pm     If Dani doesn't win, I hope someone will tell her about first-time buyer's programs where if it's your first home, you need little or no down payment. |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:15 pm     Grooch (hey there!), to answer your question, not that often...not nearly enough for all this! PS: If Dani wins, I'm throwing the housewarming party! |
Battlestar | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:16 pm     Bmh---I was joshing ya--but I didn't know he had been bashing her, thanks for the info. Okay--then only Roddy and Jason have 'minimal' bashing halos now |
C1mag | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:17 pm     Why would you spend the time trying to analyze her finances Beserk? It's her business. If she plays the game the best in the end then give her the money. If not then give it to the next player. This thing is gonna come down to much more than... Who NEEDS the money! The best player will win in the end. Whether they are rich or poor. Look at last years winner. The biggest jerk in the group got it. They sure didn't hold that against him. They also new he probably would do crazy things with the money. In the end it was how he played the game. In order to believe a Dani victory is charity all the losers would have to admit they didn't nominate her or vote her out because of her financial situation. If none of them could admit that then her victory would not be charity. |
Zeyna | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:17 pm     The only issue I see here is that some believe it's ok for Dani to do/say anything in order for win, and others think it's not as "noble" to use pity to win. Others don't think she's using pity. But nobody is calling Dani names or faulting her for wanting the money. Obviously this discussion is getting nowhere. I'll just say for the last time that I don't fault Dani for anything, but would find it more admirable if she continues playing a good game and leaves her financial situation out of it. *I* would just respect her more if she didn't use this strategy - that's all. |
Bmh | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:18 pm     lol I will pitch in for that housewarming party too Pcakes! |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:18 pm     Berserkknight2, It appears you are not familiar with the Bay Area housing costs. (Please read back to the beginning of the thread) $1200 a month is nothing! |
Lombadier | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:19 pm     Thanks for your response, Wcv. I agree, every HG has been criticized, but Roddy has been painted as the devil and is constantly barraged with insults. Not even Gerry gets this type of abuse from Marcellas, lol. Anyway, I really appreciate your response, I already feel better about this place and won't let it all get to me again. |
Earthmother | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:19 pm     Auntie..hahahahaha I nominate you WVC, I know I told ya I liked you last week, but I was lyin'..Do I get the money?...lol |
Twistedsis | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:19 pm     Grooch I can only remeber 2 occurences of Dani saying she would buy a house with the money if she won. Both times she was asked what she would do with the money. She has also said she plays for her family several times, not positive an exact number. Most of this 'poor me card' came after Roddy's comment of 'BB3 is not make a wish foundation'. IMO This was highly insulting. To reference Dani playing for her family to a wonderful charity like Make a Wish truely p*ssed me off. If I have been a voter that alone would have made me vote for anyone but Roddy. For those unaware (what closet have you been locked in?) Make a Wish grants termanally ill children their last wish before they die. Generally trips to Disneyworld or meeting their favorite sports hero. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:20 pm     Bmh--the difference is taht Gery has talked about her actions/behaviors, and nothing more. He hasn't called her a fat sow realted to not doing dishes (the two have no connection). He has not made assumptions about her sexuality, or any such thing as that about any HG. He doesn't walk around or sit around with another HG name calling. Marc and others are making comments way beyond the point of Gerry's actions/behaviors. That is the difference between bashing and not bashing. |
Battlestar | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:21 pm     ohh good!! Gerry gets his Halo back, his head was getting cold without it!! |
Bmh | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:22 pm     Lance he was still bashing her though..he may not have been as vocal or harsh but it was still bashing any way you look at it..and if I remember correctly Gerry has bashed Jason before earlier in the game |
Beserkknight2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:23 pm     Easy,C1mag, it's Finance 101. Pcakes, she should MOVE to a cheaper rent district IF she wants a house. Don't sob, sob, sob I can't get a house and do nothing about it. Get real. Or, take the boob money and the private school money and use it for rent. It's a matter of priorities with her, it isn't "NEED." |
C1mag | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:23 pm     I will agree on the bashing issue. They have all done that except Jason. However, last years winner did the most bashing and still got the victory. So bashing in this game is tolerated for some reason. By the way Roddy has bashed Dani before. He called her a b#tch and a scumbag when both he and chiara were nominated together. Like I said, the only one who hasn't bashed has been Jason that I know of. Now Marcellus has down right put himself in a position to be sued for defamation of character in regard to both Tonya and Gerry. Thats a complete different issue though. |
Battlestar | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:24 pm     bmh---too late!! I used crazy glue to stick it back on |
Battlestar | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:25 pm     c1--Jason has been involved in some of the Gerry bashing. He knows it is worng, has commented that it is wrong, but couldn't resist the temptation |
Bmh | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:26 pm     lol Battlestar..C1mag is right though..there should be only one halo and that belongs on Jason's head we also have devil horns for Roddy and Dani lmao |
C1mag | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:27 pm     Beserk as I said you are speculating on her finances which is useless. You know nothing about her finances. The issue is does she deserve the money if she gets to the finals. If you think it would be charity then take a poll by the voters in the end. Ask them... " Did ya keep her in the game for charity?" If no one could say yes then Charity would not be the reason she won. |
Zeyna | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:28 pm     Wendo, I'm just surprised at the number of posts in defence of Dani in comparison to those of Roddy. If everyone is so against personal attacks, I'm puzzled why so few are defending Roddy. |
Abby | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:28 pm     Bmh, Hey these people have been trashing Gerry since day 1, Time for pay backs. Go Gerry campaign! As for The Dani, What is so wrong with wanting better for your family? Think Half a Mil can buy a nice home, clear and paid for. all that is needed then is upkeep and taxes, the money spent on the rent can go for a college fund, Anything. Everyone in that house has dreams for that money, use to better their lives, Why should Dani be different. And the Boob-Job? Who else goes into that house thinking that this is a jumping board for a career in TV or Movies? Amy said it Once. "I am here for the exposure" Hummmmm |
Earthmother | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:28 pm     Campaigning/bashing..that is the question..to quote Will Shakespear.. Lancecrossfire, I have tried for weeks to get that point across...to no avail I'm afraid.. |
C1mag | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:29 pm     If Jason has actually called Gerry names then I stand corrected. If he agreed that his hygiene habbits were a bit soft I wouldn't call it bashing. |
Wcv63 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:30 pm     Amen C1mag. Earthmother.....you've lost my jury vote for sure. |
