From early on it seems as though the other HG's have assumed that Amy isn't really allowed to play the game. When she was first put up againist Lori she handled it well. When the girl's started targeting her, she maintained her dignity, (especially for a young girl). When she was nominated againist Marcellas she was told to stop campaigning. She won the right to come back into the house and all of them excpet Roddy voted her in. She didn't make up the twist, she had the right to get rid of Chiara, for her to stay in the house, she needed to get rid of someone that would work hard to get rid of her. She had every right to call Dani on it when she heard about Dani's campaign to vote Roddy out instead. Chiara was a bigger threat to her than Roddy is. Now she is on the block again. And again she is handling it gracefully. The houseguest's seem to feel it's their right to use Amy, and become angry if she refuses to swallow their BS.

*Just my opinion*

The HGs will use whatever they can to fulfill their agenda, that is playing the game. Gerry is using the approach that he is bitter that she could come back in the game, that it wasnt fair, in the hopes that operation revolving door will work and she will get the boot. I cant blame him for doing whatever he can to stay in the game.

What I find amusing is that all the HGs have forgotten that they voted Amy out unanimously and think that this should have no bearing on her behavior that she somehow owes them. They wanted her back over Eric and Tonya because they didn't want Roddy to get any stronger not for some altruistic reasons for Amy. They are upset that BB changed the rules but its BBs game and that is too bad.

It will be interesting to see what happens this week if Jason does use the veto tomorrow and vetoes her to put Roddy up against Amy. I am betting that Amy and Marc would vote Gerry out, thus forcing Jasont to break the tie of evicting Roddy.

Jason can't expect to win the power of veto. What if Marcellas wins it. What if Lisa? Danielle wants an endurance challenge but I think Lisa is in better physical shape than Danielle. I've noticed people threaten to win HoH or POV and then fold under the pressure. Only Gerry really focuses on the objective of the challenges. Chiara wasn't bad at that aspect of the game either.

Roddy is still pushing the idea that Amy somehow overwhelmingly "deserved" to be nominated. She said to him the other day that if he hadn't nominated her, against Marcellas, and announced that she must go, she wouldn't have been gone. She wasn't angry, just pointing it out and he got into his "now, now, you are the child and I am the adult and you KNOW there were good reasons."

I know they all hang onto any hook to "justify" their choices.

Is Amy interrupting a conversation any different than Gerry, or Dani, or Roddy interrupting a conversation? I think not. Is Amy drinking worse than someone else imposing foul comments on everyone, or cruel comments, or continually accusing someone when they really don't know?

"she isn't playing the game".. really means
"she isn't playing MY game" or "I don't think I can control her".

Oddly, since they are all so dismissive of Amy, you'd think they would WANT to be standing with her at the end. If they think they are so much more deserving, surely they will win, right?

It is all a mind game and this is just their way of dismissing one of the players.

I hope that is true also. My other thought is that she IS playing. They just don't recognize it. She's playing the ditzie blonde and the other's forget that she is a recent college graduate and couldn't possible as stupid as they assume she is. This came out in last nights DR clips.

Niceguy, FYI Jason did win the POV so the big question is will he use it. Gerry wants him to use it and veto Amy so that he can go up against Roddy.

I agree sea, they are all playing their games including Amy. Right now Amy is the safest person to nominate against who they want out. Marcellas is right they will just continue to put her up unless either he or Amy wins HOH.

I thank you, seamonkey, for laying it out there clearly.

Well, it's easy to understand how that Revolving Door business should be the excuse to nominate Amy. If BB changes the rules it does not mean that the hgs should like them!!!

I think Gerry should be safe now because Amy should be the one to go, if you follow that Revolving Door idea...

I'd be sorry to see Gerry go because the guy has been fairly decent with all of them (beside staring at Marcellas or grossing them out with his ...bad habits).

I didn't start this thread to pick a favorite houseguest. (I love/hate all of them depending on the moment, LOL). I just wanted to understand why most of the posters and all of the houseguests think Amy doesn't have the right to play the game called Big Brother 3.

IMHO, Spunky, you just verified that view.

I noticed Dani was the first and biggest offender in picking on Gerry's habits, Lori got evicted for calling her on it.

I wonder if it is a matter of not allowing her to play or just a general impression she is too immature to play, is in the house mainly to party, will throw a temper tantrum if she does not get her way, and they simply do not want to be bothered dealing with her seriously.

Kind of like "Now you run off and play, little Amy. We adults have important things to do."

This is how I react to her. She is the child who will screw up everything if she is treated like an adult -- because she simply cannot act like one. The Chiara eviction process is the best example of what happens when she is included with the adults. It made no logical sense in the game, but all of the adults felt a need to cater to the whiney, emotional, temper-tanturm prone child.

Does everyone forget that Dani and Jason talked to her and promised her she would not be the one voted out?

Who said she didn't have the right to play? That stupid ORD.. Did you really think Marc, Dani, Lisa and Jason were going to fall for Chiara's little plan? She has had the right to play twice. Personally I wish they would all let her alone and play by herself so she can make a real big fool of herself and get booted. Marc just keeps runnin' interferrence for her. Give her more to drink!!
