Female Lisa fan. Go figure.
TV ClubHouse: Archives: Female Lisa fan. Go figure.
Lynnann | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 02:13 am     While I am no fan of Lisa, I got right away what she was saying. I was considered nice looking in my younger days and never did have many women friends. This was very hurtful and finally I stopped trying to be friends with any of them. I took Lisa's remark as one of pleasent surprise that there were women fans out there. I know how important my few female friends have ment to me so that's the way I took it. I say I am not a fan of Lisa's but it has nothing to do with the way she looks. I just felt she could have been a little nicer and more involved with the other earlier hg's. |
Costacat | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 05:31 am     Babs, it was this thread that triggered my question to Lisa in chat. I'm not surprised that Lisa thought her fans would be mostly male -- she's a very attractive woman. But I wanted to let her know that she DOES have female fans, and that we are rooting for her all the way. She did seem pleasantly surprised, and happy, that she has female fans. Watch the show on Wednesday -- since she made the comment in the DR that aired on TV ("I think Lisa fans are male") they may show my chat question on TV. So Babs? Don't leave us!!! Come back and chat! <grin> |

Crazydog | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 01:55 pm     I think it's nice that Lisa has fans, both male and female. But I'm still trying to figure out why this one little comment of Lisa's triggered such a backlash when Amy's did not. Amy's sounded even worse. I believe she said something like, "what is a male Amy fan? I hope I can find one out there that has nice teeth". She was saying the same thing, that her fans are male and it's even shallower than what Lisa said. Maybe it was so stupid that that's why everyone here let it pass. |
Katlady53 | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 02:00 pm     Maybe Lisa thought she didn't have a female fan base because she assumed that the young attractive HG's would mostly have fans of the opposite sex. That's usually the natural order of things, isn't it? Oy vey, hope I didn't humiliate myself. Lol |
Bigbrotherbelle | Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 02:11 pm     The difference between Amy's and Lisa's responses: Amy - I don't know what kind of male Amy fans are out there. I hope there are some. I hope they have perfect teeth. Lisa - I'm going to assume that Lisa fans are male. Amy sounded like she was asked to describe a male Amy fan. Lisa just sounded like she was assuming exactly what she said - that Lisa fans are male. |
Jeeny98 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 12:00 am     Trulyscrumtious, I wanted to comment on your post about telling your daughter how beautiful she is. Although it's not my place, but I think it's not a very good idea. Because looks cannot be helped, with the exception of plastic surgery or makeup, but the point is, if one is always complimented on that from an early age, they believe that is what is important. It also subconsciously tells someone that that is all they really have. I can relate to Lisa in a way, although I'm no where, nor was I ever as pretty as she. I was told often by my parent and other people how pretty I was. I heard my mother say how smart and funny my little sister was. And she how smart and strong my older sister was. And, I was just pretty. She told me how beautiful I was all the time. Yet, knew I didn't have anything to do with that. When a child is told something by an adult they believe that over anything else. I was also told not to tell so much of myself too. I grew up to be so self aware of how I looked or appeared, I became such a shallow person. Afraid I had nothing else to offer anyone other than looks. And we all know looks is only the surface, and they eventually fade. I know that, they are. What's left? I have brains, but it's been ingrained that my looks got the most attention. For someone who has a strong sense of self, I don't believe the same thing can happen to them, by telling them they are pretty, IN ADDITION to other qualities that have real merit. Determination, fairness, talent, strength, ability...etc. Things that take effort, patience, and the like.  |
Trulyscrumtious | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 12:55 am     Ummm, Jenny, I think you may have misread what I wrote. I said that others tell her, hang on, I'll repost it...
Quote:I'm the mother of a 12 year old little girl who's been told her ENTIRE life - even from complete strangers on the street - how beautiful she is. It's a sticky situation trying to keep her grounded I tell ya. I've simply tried to stress the fact that while beauty may be the thing most people will notice in her first, her brain is her strongest and best attribute and should be what she makes her top priority. Will this one day come back to haunt me? Am I costing the child thousands of dollars in future therapy bills? I sure hope not.
...or am I misunderstanding you? lol |

Jeeny98 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 01:27 am     Oh, I'm sorry Trulyscrumtious. Shame on me for not reading beyond that. Well, I did read your last comment too. It's late, I had read most of the others, and then came to yours, and I skipped over the most important part!! I'm so sorry. My bad. You are a good and SMART mother. Beautiful too, I bet. |
Babsbunny3 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 07:38 am     Costacat, I was happy to see your question in Lisa's chat. That is exactly what I think Lisa needed to hear. Great job! When I saw the show, Lisa almost had me crying, she was so happy. She deserved it! |
Costacat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:15 am     Thanks, Babs! I'm a little surprised it made it on the chat (even if it didn't make it on the show). I thought she really was cute with the chat (I couldn't really watch her much as I was so busy typing the LFs). And yes, I did get all teary/blurry last night watching her. She was SO excited to hear from Eric, she just wiggled in her seat! |
Missykisses | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:40 am     For some reason it amazes me all of the Lisa Bashing in so many threads. I know some people think it's all in good fun but you have to wonder. IMHO: Lisa is gorgeous not just her outward beauty but her inner beauty as well. It's nice to see someone as beautiful as Lisa who is equally as sweet. And I think she has played the game very well. I mean look she is one of the last 4 standing. Just my 2 cents |
Costacat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:06 am     Thank you, Missy! I've been wondering the same thing. It feels as if this week is bash Lisa week. What's bothering me, though, is no one is perfect so why point out imperfections in another? |
Bernie | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:53 am     I think it's because we only have four HGs left to talk about, so naturally the focus is intense, and since there's so little happening, even the smallest thing is getting to be a topic of discussion. We've talked about and dissected each and every one of them, each week, as they've been in the spotlight, and this week, the final four are stuck on stage. IMHO, Lisa is coming off very well, considering what has been said about former HG's and what is being said about Danielle. Lisa has very little to criticise, because she's not only nice but also attractive and so the tiniest imperfection is noticed, that's all it is. Think of how many want her to win! She's doing just fine! |
Cmore | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:27 am     Costa, its rather simple really. Anyone who is put in a fishbowl for all to see 24/7 will be subject to some positive/negative discussion. None of us are perfect, but then again most of us do not want to be in a fishbowl either. These people have to realize and accept that people will both like and dislike their personalities and appearance. We all have different tastes, likes and dislikes and its important (at least to me) to try and see different peoples perspectives on what they see/percieve. Thats what makes the world an interesting place. That being said, my opinion of Lisa is that she is a very attractive person, but (isn't there always a but) she seems rather shallow in the world knowledge/expierence department. Her mundane dress code leaves a lot to be desired, not that the halter top/low rider thing doesn't look nice, but a variety of dress would certainly help her achieve the look of a more rounded person, rather than the day to day party girl look. She is a nice girl and probably would be fun to spend an evening with, but i would not be so sure about bringing her home to dinner with my mother, only to have her ask what is on her plate and how to eat it. Not a bash, just my take on the fishbowl. |
