I have now lost interest in BB3
Hosewater | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:02 pm     I'm contemplating abandoning ship only because I have just now realized that this show is all about awarding money to the most distasteful contestant. I should've learned after last year's show, but I thought it was a fluke... You know, like how Rich won Survivor 1, but then Tina, Ethan and Vecepia won the next three Survivors. What we need is a reality-based game show that rewards contestants for making positive moral and ethical choices. But would anyone want to watch that?!

Loppes | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:08 pm     Hosewater, You might want to check out the Christian Life Network channel on cable. There's a guy there called Falwell who tries to promote morality all the time. As for me I prefer this controversial stuff. Lon |
Willow_Woman | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:39 pm     SanFran, your dancing hamsters were a hoot! Thanks! Hose, I think you make an excellent point ("this show is all about awarding money to the most distasteful contestant"). I think the reason so many people are rooting for Jason (as evidenced by CBS popularity poll) is that a lot of us everyday "folks" want to see the "good guy" win. We don't like to see deceit, etc. rewarded. (Just look at the whole Martha Stewart thing.) Thus the animosity against Roddy (seen as the manipulator who, how shall I put this delicately, "messes" with minds). Maybe this is why some are disenchanted now that Roddy was not nominated. But, I'm wondering, is it actually *possible* that a good guy or gal could win? Does the very nature of the game assure that this will *not* happen? Must a hg use deceit, trickery, and other manipulations to win? Seems like it would be an uphill battle. |
Earthmother | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:41 pm     Jason is no fool, they just think he is. He is well aware that the only one who has not acted like a horse's ass is Gerry. Therefore in a finals comp. he could be eliminated like last year when Hardy got it because you want to go into the finals with someone you know you can beat. He wants to go in with the most devious, the ones who have pissed of the most people. Jason sits and listens to all the garbage and knows just what we see and hear so he knows what the evicted hgs will see and hear. As much as I like Gerry and wish he would finish in the top 2 the worst thing for him was for Jason to be HOH. Jason knows Gerry is his biggest threat if they sit in those last two chairs. |
Foodbunny | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:41 pm     I just don't see Jason as a "good guy" or Roddy as a "bad guy". But then again, unless illegal actions are involved I very rarely think in those terms. Jason bores me most of the time, Roddy's actions and attitude makes me laugh. So I want Roddy to stay. Simple as that. |
Oregonfire | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:42 pm     I'm not abandoning ship, but taking the week off. I don't care who goes this week anyway. Plus BB3 stole my life this past week, and I need it back! I'll just get my BB news filtered through the boards and forego the live feeds. |
Off2cthwizrd | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:57 pm     I'm semi-abandoning ship, but it's more about school starting next week and my needing to get my mind off of BB and onto studying again. I AM disappointed in today's noms, though. I'm not only tired of Amy's whining - I'm also tired of the other houseguests' whining that Roddy needs to go, then no one doing anything about it. If they want things to change then change them...but no more bellyaching about how they want things to be different, if they are not willing to make the decision necessary to take care of the problem! (breath in...breath out...) You guys have fun and wish me luck this semester - I am almost done! |
Hosewater | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 12:49 am     There's a guy there called Falwell who tries to promote morality all the time. Oh my, talk about distasteful. Jerry Falwell represents the Christian faith about as well as Marcellas represents the homosexual community. |
Spunky | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 07:59 am     Well, from the posts here it looks like it's a break for many of us, and it will do some good, I think. I noticed the frenzy just before the nominations but the excitement went down right afterwards and there isn't even that much speculation for the POV, nothing particular will happen this week, other than Amy or Gerry going, and so the interested in this round is gone downhill.. By next Thursday I'm sure we'll be back in earnest... |
Hermione69 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:10 am     Everybody seems to thing Gerry being gone is a foregone conclusion, but I noticed a few HGs were talking again about Amy's drinking last night. If BB3 keeps supplying the booze, Amy may have a drunken episode that leads to her eviction. I used to drink like Amy, I know how it can go! If she can sneak enough "libations" one night, she could totally go crazy. Just throwing that scrap out there. |
Maris | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:16 am     I agree with you Hermione. If I were a betting person I would put the odds on Amy going. Marcellas is not happy that she is back in the house and has been making his digs since her nomination. Remember what he said to Julie about his feelings on Amy's return? Lukewarm would be the best description. I would bet that he would rather see Amy go than Gerry right now and that is why he said to Danni yesterday that he has to learn to live with Gerry. Danni wants Amy gone because she blames Amy for Roddy still being in the house. Lisa would like Gerry gone only because he put her and Eric up. Roddy will vote Amy out because Amy put him up against Chiara and he almost got evicted. |
Sassylady | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:04 am     Earthmother as always, you seem to explain things in a way that I calm down and say, oh okay that makes sense. You make a valid point!

Loppes | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 12:10 pm     Hosewater, Isn't Falwell the guy who said September 11 happened because of gays and Barney the purple dinosaur, which my daughter is in love with, was gay? Lon |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 05:29 pm     Loppes - He said that Tinky Winky, the purple teletubby was gay. That was SO stupid.
Here I am as Tinky Winky....I guess he was right, after all! :-) |
Bmh | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 06:14 pm     Whoever is saying that Marcie will vote to evict Amy is living in a dream world..and I think you can count on Lisa voting to evict Gerry too..it would be what Eric wanted..and she has to do something for him..she promised she would get Gerry out if she could..and if Marcie and Roddy are working to together Im sure that Roddy will be voting to evict Gerry too...unless something crazy happens..which happens alot lol...Gerry will be gone thursday...even the housegusts have come to that conclusion for the most part |
Trillian | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 06:23 pm     Loppes, if you think Falwell promotes morality, you've never seen, heard, or read about anything he's said or done. Which is fine - it's just if you know nothing about him, you might want to keep that in mind when deciding whether to make statements about him. |
Hillbilly | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 06:26 pm     ...okay sanfran...i'd appreciate a WARNIN post next time afore yu's do somethin like that again.... |
Willow_Woman | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 06:27 pm     SanFran, my my you are just *so* fashion forward! The other night...that gorgeous outfit and now this! BTW, purple is very becoming on you. You should wear it more often. I think that red bag clashes though. I bet if we tried really hard we could convince Earth Mother to take you to Macy's Woman and find a more suitable one. |
Loppes | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:44 pm     Trillian, I never said Falwell promotes morality. I said Falwell tries to promote morality. Big difference. I think he's an idiot, who does nothing more than create bigots and racists in society. I was being flip responding to Hosewater's post. Sanfran, You got me rolling over laughin Twinky Winky. Hell if I remember what he said, all I know is Falwell should be taken away to some unknown location to protect society from him. I thought it was Barney he hated. In passing, I always enjoy reading your insightful and knowledgeable responses to those who bash gays on this board. Lon |
Wavelength | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:47 pm     I guess I can understand that Jason nominated Gerry and Amy in order to stay in good with both Roddy and Danielle. The thing that makes me want to stop watching is the crying, hugging and neediness that almost all the HG's are showing. Does anyone else feel embarrassed for them? All the talk of them loving each other deeply makes me wonder about their sanity. |
Emo1979 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 11:57 pm     Yeah, I said on another thread that BB3 reminds me of a horrible hybrid of BB1 and BB2. You have the trashy personalities and habits that made BB2 interesting, but combined with the amazingly depressing and scary emotional neediness and weak wills of BB1 that made that show suck so hard! I just don't remember this kind of lovefest combined with X-treme waffling (the new X-Games sport) going on in BB2... the only person I remember being like that is Bunky, and Bunky is, well, Bunky. Sure Hardeeee cried during his noms, but that was just him being a wimp about what he had to do. He still DID what he had to do! |
Wavelength | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 12:10 am     Exactly Emo. As sweet as Bunky was it's hard to watch 10 or 11 of them. On tonight's show they almost tripped over themselves in an effort to hug/console each other. Danielle lost her best friend? I've been reading the live feeds and I never came away with that impression. And, finally Lisa needs to blow her nose or get a good decongestant. Sorry, guess I should have posted this in the complaining thread. |
Eden | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 12:51 am     Roddy is the one that has made them feel compelled to honor emotion over reason. THINK about it. The least emotional guy in the house has totally made everyone else emotional SLAVES. It's sickening. |
