Strategic Stupidity and Diarrhea of the Mouth

Pugholio | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 02:41 pm     If you believe one word anybody tells you in there, you should be evicted for just being too stupid. Also, having the class to leave the departed guests alone is something I would consider a very big part of playing the game. They can be "advised" to vote by whatever standards, but it will be a popularity contest. Dani is setting it up for Lisa to win and boot Jason. The "golly, gee whiz, I'm just so happy to be here" guy is about to get a rude lesson in trust. |
Wendo | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:26 pm     Prisonerno6 said, "Because Will told everyone right from the beginning that he planned on lying all the way through the game." I honestly don't remember Will telling the other HG's in the beginning/when the show started that he planned on lying to everyone. If I recall, that didn't start happening until the rest of his allies were evicted. Anyone know??? Pugholio said, "If you believe one word anybody tells you in there, you should be evicted for just being too stupid." Good point. LOL! |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:31 pm     I never thought Will was elegant. He was sarcastic, mean, humorous, silly, intelligent, confusing and lucky. He won the game for a variety of reasons, mainly because the other players underestimated him completely. His speech to the group before the final vote almost took away the money that he already was going to receive. His practical joking and total disregard for serious game playing was a strategy that nobody else could employ without eviction. He was unique, aloof, and cunning. I remain stunned. |

Csnog | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:45 pm     Most of them believed" Josh in the begining. Josh was one of the biggest bashers in the house except for his last week. He not only bashed the HG's, he kept things stirred up way past their shelf life. If they would have voted Josh out the first week, the outcome might have been a lot different. I don't think that nominations should be made within 24 hrs in the house. Lori would have made a large difference in the dynamics of the house. ps. the first mention of Dannie and Jason talking was on July 16th at 2:30 am |
Zachsmom | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:46 pm     He was unique, aloof, and cunning. I remain stunned. He deserved to win from the diary room session when he had Nicoles Doll.. I don't remember when I have laughed so hard!! (this was not a nicole bash..I just found that DR session incredibly funny!!) |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:51 pm     That was a classic. LOL! |
Showmemoney | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:54 pm     Wendo, you are right. In the beginning he NEVER told the HG he was going to lie. He may have said it in the DR NEAR the beginning, but at first everyone (viewers - non-CT) thought he was just a mean guy. He admitted it often in the DR throughout most of the show. In the end, BB2 HG faced the same thing BB3 HG are facing. The person(s) who understood playing this game the most are in the Final 3. I know I'm off-topic, sorry. I wanted to give my opinion on question #3. " 3. Why would you mention personal finances as a reason for being on the show and trying to win $500,000?" To me, that's the only reason to play this game. Eddie did it for the money in BB1, Tina, Rich and V did it on Survivor, and I know at least of the Amazing Race winners did it for the money, with no qualms about it. If I was in the house (god forbid) I'd be that person who mentions it's all about the money every time I nominated someone. Help them all keep it in perspective that this is a game. To the very end. |
Oneofthegang | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 04:10 pm     Will won because he was smarter than the other big brother 2 houseguests. I was amazed that they all fell for the obvious flattery and the "your smarter than me talk" Will did not exactly deserve to win, but the others deserved to lose for falling for all that crap. Nicole deserved to lose because she made it impossible for alot of the Hg to vote for her even with Will as their only other choice. Daniele has done the same thing that Nicole did. Her statagy was fine, she would probably have won the money if "she had kept her mouth shut and her eyes open" I think one of the main reasons I enjoy watching BB, is it reminds me over and over to keep my mouth shut and my opinion to myself. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 04:11 pm     3. Why would you mention personal finances as a reason for being on the show and trying to win $500,000? I was alluding to the "poor me" ploy of telling everyone that I "needed" the money. That is far different than saying you are playing for the money. |
Fungii | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 04:52 pm     FYI, if I remember correctly, in BB2 Julie did a 'getting to know you' interview with all the HGs at the very begining [first show?] and that's when Will introduced himself as the 'evil doctor' and indicated that he would be lying through his teeth for the next three months and nobody should believe a word he says. The HGs knew what he was up to from day one. And to stay somewhat on topic, its funny how Will was despised at the begining and loved at the end whereas Danielle was loved [somewhat] at the begining and despised [mostly] at the end. |
Showmemoney | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:00 pm     3. Why would you mention personal finances as a reason for being on the show and trying to win $500,000? Hmmm... I guess without the negative bias you possibly (?) have toward Dani, I read it literally. My bad. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:03 pm     I don't have a negative bias. I just find her late in the game strategy very puzzling. |
Earthmother | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:54 pm     I have found Dani's strategy of trashing the evicted hgs very strange too. If she wanted to win the big money she needed to come up with better ways to rid the house and once they were gone she should have forgotten them. Listening to Tonya last night I think she said what many of the evicted feel. Dani judged them openly on a personal level and therefore I think she will be judged by them very personally. It was no longer just a game when Dani attacked them for who she thought they were as human beings and not how they were playing the game, so why should they give her the courtesy of voting on her game. |
Onlyhuman | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:59 pm     Earthmother...I completely agree! |
Maryk | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 06:05 pm     Any houseguest after seeing the tapes and reading the live feed transcripts and after talking to their trusted friends and family will no doubtly find Dani's personal attacks reprehensible. Two people (Gerry and Amy) now who wanted Dani to win in their exit interview now thinks she is the biggest 'Devil' in the house. |
