Definition of Success

Romans8_1 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:24 pm     My definition of success is coming up with a plan and executing it. If your plan is to live like a hermit in the mountains, and you accomplish that ... then you are the opitome of success. With this being said, I started thinking about who is a success on BB3 1) Tie - Jason and Danielle. Granted neither has won, but one is guaranteed of the final 2 and 50K. Both came in with a plan and executed it. Some say that Jason is just riding Dani's coattails. So what? I don't agree, but assuming it is true then if that was his plan then he is a huge success. I am in the minority that say he is smarter than most are giving him credit for. Danielle has also executed very well and it will guarantee her 50K. Pretty successfull both. Agree with their tactics or not, any intelligent person will give them kudos for sticking together and executing. 2) Amy. Her plan was to be herself and to get something out of this experience. Complain if you want, but that won't change the fact that she is a star and a wonderful person with a couple of problems (mostly stemming from Chiara/Tonya). She has nothing to be ashamed of and will cherish the friends she has made. 3) Roddy. He had a plan to hold people to honesty and for the most part did. If it weren't for the Jason/Danielle alliance he would be here now. Just because he's not here now does not mean he wasn't successful in what he set out to do. 4) Gerry. He really just wanted to get to the half way point with his integrety intact. He knew the cards were stacked against him with his age, but he can walk away believing he was a success. *) Lisa - I have a hard time defining her. Up until Eric left, she had no plan. She did hook up with Dani, but has pretty much ridden that coattail until the last 2 weeks. She gets kudos for working with Marcellas, but I personally see her as being taken into the final 3 instead of being succesfull in any kind of plan. How/who do you they have been successful? Can we leave bashing out in at least one thread please? We have so many already. |
Espen | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:32 pm     I honestly think Lisa's plan all along was to stay "under the radar".. To observe, be agreeable, likeable and yet never voice strong opinions one way or the other, and to "go with the flow" wherever it took her.. I don't think she expected to get as close to someone like she did with Eric, though she was weakened at that point, both with her broken toe and "spider bite", so in some ways it probably helped her through that.. At any rate, I think history shows that this method does work, up to a point, though it rarely takes you all the way.. (Recall Jamie in BB1, Neleh in S4, Monica in BB2) though sometimes it does, like for Vecipia and Ethan.. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:38 pm     1. Kudos to both Jason and Danielle. Danielle rode on the back of the houseguest with the most integrity of any BB player in history and may cash in for $50,000. 2. Amy's role as a pawn got her to the final four. 3. Roddy successfully managed sixth place while having an idiotic strategy without logic. He also succesfully used his charm to tick women off. 4. Gerry lasted much longer than he should have considering his age and his veto speech of Marcellas. 5. Lisa is amazingly resourceful and I am very impressed with her preparation for last night's HOH competition. A true threat to win. Her bold strategy in changing teams and using it to get to the final 3 was brilliant. |
