Ocean_Islands | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:13 pm     Amy is young. She has things to learn . . . as we all do. It's hard to watch someone learn but I feel that of them all, she's the one actually learning something and that feels good. Truths are hard to accept -- especially on national television -- but it's better to accept a truth that way than not at all. |
Kristylovesbb | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:25 pm     I think Amy needs to learn some life lessons but the people trying to teach them are evil and they, much more than her, need to learn some lessons of their own! |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:30 pm     Maybe she's learning something, maybe not. It's a game and she has the right to play or not play it as well as she wants. I am tired of the HGs (Marc, Roddy) trying to use this to 'teach' Amy something. It's a game. She can be as self-centered as she wants. You gotta give her some credit -- it's week 8 and she's there and not home right now -- even after having been evicted. I wish they'd let up on her. "How she is" is none of their business, imo. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:33 pm     But the thing is -- she is saying that she is learning something. And if you look close, you can see that she is learning something -- to some degree. Are you saying that she is 'pretending to learn something'? I don't think so. |
Onlyhuman | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:35 pm     My heart definitely hurts for Amy. Not only did she get blasted by her closest friend in the house, Marcellus, but she then had to hear Danielle tell her that she needs to apologize to him. The guy blasts her, says horrible things about her in front of people and betrays her in a way that has to hurt and she owes him an apology?????? I just want to tell her to get angry at him, but, of course, she won't! She actually cares about him and his feelings. Too bad no one in that house cares about her feelings! |
Onlyhuman | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:37 pm     OI, the biggest problem is that these people all think they have the right to tell her what she should learn. As far as I know, this "game" that everyone is so fond of talking about does not give any of them the right to tell her that she has to have the feelings, thoughts, and emotions that they all deem appropriate. |
Jbean | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:38 pm     I agree....I think this has been a learning experience for her. She has been telling Marcellus that she doesn't care about the game, that it is about the social experience. I think that is commendable. I hope she doesn't go this week.....not because I think she should win...but I love her carefree attitude. I think she is fun to watch....the accent kills me. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:41 pm     It's true that no one has the right to 'tell' her. However, it's clear that she has things to learn and if that is happening, that is a good thing. |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:45 pm     It may well be a learning experience for her. My gripe is the other HGs 'teaching' her a lesson, etc.. I think she can learn without lectures and speeches. I guess it's a 'hurt pride' thing, but I feel they are taking pleasure in telling her what's wrong with her. I feel sorry for her tonight. :-( |
Mollywood | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:46 pm     she is far and away above any of the other hg in so many ways, wit. smart (they miss half her refrences and always knows what mnovies they are talking about) beautiful..and free of the desperation that is smothering..she is a free spirit and i thought marc knew that and knew he probalby would only win second and her friendship is worth more that 50 grand. she is so smart to kill marci with kindness...and she is just so honest he has to face his two faced self |
Dagny | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:48 pm     Amy needs to call them all out. She needs to confront them all together (D,L and J) and ask them if they have any deals with Roddy. They have been complaining about the devil for weeks, and if they don't vote Roddy out, then they all are suspect of having a side deal with Roddy. This will "force" them to vote out Roddy, or risk looking suspicious to the others |
Shadowkat | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:48 pm     I felt bad tonight when Amy told Marcellas that she has only gotten to vote ONCE in the eight weeks of the show!! Of course, she was gone for 2 weeks, but that's still 6 weeks and she's only gotten to vote once! Poor Amy! |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:51 pm     Shadow -- I hadn't even considered the voting thingie ... poor girl, only once. :-( |
Whit4you | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:02 pm     Marc - the guy who acted like a spoiled 4 yr old over that Gnome... says to Dani that he put Amy up because the way she acted over her gramma's ring. I'm glad I wont ever have to see or listen to that man again after another few weeks. |
Azriel | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:07 pm     I don't think these people have anything to teach Amy. They all make me sick. They are screwing her poor head up in there. They are making her feel like she is stupid and worthless. She has the biggest heart of anyone in there. |
Secretsmile | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:10 pm     AMEN Azriel! |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:11 pm     Azriel -- yup, you got it. Amy isn't even a fave of mine, but this sort of treatment raises my hackles. Amy is who she is, and has as much right to be herself in the house as they do. They are missing Gerry and Josh to bash, so poor Amy is their target again. :-( |
Onlyhuman | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:12 pm     Whit...I wanted to reach out and strangle him. He is such an arrogant jerk. She apologized to him for him nominating her and ripping her in the process. And he has the nerve to continue with his badmouthing of her. I honestly have never said this before about a game show contestant...but I really think I could learn to hate that man. |
Battlestar | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:12 pm     they definitely DO NOT have anything to teach AMY.....she may act child-like in her joy of living but she has PLENTY of lessons to teach them on how to treat people. |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:14 pm     Afterthought, while they shouldn't be bashing anyone (heaven knows I'm guilty of bashing on the boards) I would still prefer to see the HGs bash her horribly behind her back than to make this public spectacle of 'how can we make Amy see the error of her ways' dealie with lectures and speeches. :-( |
Onlyhuman | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:17 pm     Yeah, but they're doing both, Ellenkats. What's more, they tell her to her face that they are so proud of her and her growth and then say behind her back that she hasn't changed at all. Grrrr.... |
Braveheart61901 | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:17 pm     I wouldn't worry too much about them screwing up Amy's head. Seems to me she's got it on pretty straight! I'm sure her feelings get hurt - but she's a real smart cookie and way more mature and sensible than any of them will ever be. |
Friktion | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:36 pm     I'm reading the feeds and getting so tired of her saying that she's not upset about being on the block - she SHOULD be and she SHOULD take it personally. Why is she so quick to believe that she's so flawed a person that she deserves to be kicked and should thank the kicker afterwards? She's no angel - but Marcellas is certainly no friend IMO. I'm starting to hope she gets out of the house soon, I don't think she's tough enough to survive their head games. |
Secretsmile | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:40 pm     IMHO Friktion, I think Amy has so much experience on the pagent scene that she's used to being graceful in defeat and that the only way to survive that is to hold on to her innerself and NOT take it personally. |
Cameltoes | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:46 pm     I do feel bad for Amy but I don't think this game can teach anyone a thing. I feel bad for her because she is playing the game the least of anyone there (if she is playing at all) and because of that she is constantly caught in the crossfire. However, she had a choice. She could have played it as hard as anyone but she chose not to. Maybe this is what's best for her in the long run but she does have to deal with the consequences. It's just too bad she has to deal with being hurt in the process. |
