Cast Party Report from UPI
Yankee_In_Ca | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 04:01 pm     Oregonfire -- you're hysterical. As I mentioned before, this type of oddball writing is not unusual for this author. For her sake, I only hope Lisa didn't have to "chat with the nice reporter" all night at the party. |
Lisad | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 04:13 pm     Did the author actually say something to the effect of Lisa being as pretty as Nicole Kidman? LOL! |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 04:20 pm     I'm much nicer when critiquing my students' papers--well usually anyway! If they've chapped my hide otherwise in class, they may not get the kid gloves treatment. The poor fellow who wrote this article is probably just waiting for his pension and some quality fishing time. |
Myriads | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 04:41 pm     Eh, the article is just in UPI wirespeak, designed for harried editors to grab and jam into the family section with little thought. Normal puff piece. Look it's simple! Amaze the children, have fun at home! Even as CBS's Big Brother 3 closed it's doors for the last time this Wendsday, enjoying it's highest season of ratings yet, controversy erupted. The considerable internet fan base of the voyeristic reality show has been torn by its outcome, where winsome Lisa, a LA bartender, won over Danielle, an African-American ad buyer in a near unanimous 9-1 vote. Cries of Hypocracy and sour grapes were leveled by the fan base at the Jury of evicted houseguests who handed Lisa the half million dollar prize. One writer said, "How could any of these people.... and I could go on..... but you get the idea. Simple small bites that have lots of info tidbits in each, so if the editor has to cut a paragraph or three no content is lost. Myriads "Our deeds know our fashion" |
Myriads | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 04:45 pm     Whoops one addition. I have to agree with the authors opinion on Lisa's looks. He captured the 'quality' that makes her natural beauty pop to that next level that few women seem to have: "a captivating, charismatic presence tempered by compelling shyness and vulnerability." He got that on the nose. Myriads |
Keiffer | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:02 pm     For sure there are women who are considered very attractive on both TV shows, and in the movies that are not as attractive as Lisa. Of course whether or not Lisa has any hidden acting talent is yet to be seen. I do think that a show that comes in the top 15 for three months three nights a week allows for some Q rating, and Lisa perhaps has a chance for something if she gets lucky. SHe is by far the most captivating reality show (survivor/BB) to last long enough on the shows to be recognized longer than a month after the show is over. |
Fabnsab | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:06 pm     This article reminds mew of the stuff I used to write when I didn't read the book the teacher assigned and I needed to write a report. i would look at the cover and make up a story from that and the synopsis, sprinkling a few choice $3 words here and there. It worked for me then but it didn't work for this gentleman. It should have been called "Ode to Lisa" |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:07 pm     Huh. Must be a guy thing. I think Lisa has pretty coloring, nice hair, and a nice figure, but always thought Amy was the beauty of the group, and that Chiara had the best figure of the women. Different strokes. Jealous Harpy in Deluth |
Misslibra | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:13 pm     Goddess146, thanks for the link. It's good to hear some news about the cast party. Lisa is a lovely Girl, it seems inside and out from what I saw after watching the show for 3 months. Lisa was not only the winner, but the star of this show IMO. I wonder why this writer didn't at least post one picture from the party. And from what the writer said Lisa must of looked extra beautiful that night. Lisa you go Girl !! |
Woodpecke® | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:14 pm     LOL @ Fabnsab! |
Wendo | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:18 pm     Well, I wasn't knocking Lisa with my reply. I do think she's a very pretty woman. I was actually knocking the writer. Personally, I found the analogies a bit far reaching. JMO. |
Misslibra | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:19 pm     No Oregon it's not just a guy thing. Straight female over here. I think Lisa is strikingly beautiful, and not just looks. Keiffer, I agree with your post.

Gail | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:19 pm     Woodpecker - if you are sticking around for a while, check out our General Discussion area on the top side of the board. You seem to like getting into discussions and we have a pretty good variety in that area. I noticed you have not posted there and wasn't sure if you knew it existed. ../9200/9200.html"6402/1053267.html" TARGET="_top">6402/1053267.html> Hope you decide to stick around for a while.  |
Woodpecke® | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:28 pm     Thanks, Gail.  |
Car54 | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:31 pm     This writer has been around FOREVER. My impression has always been that he does these features by recycling press releases mostly. |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 05:41 pm     I stand corrected, MissLibra. I guess it's just a matter of personal taste. I do think Lisa is very attractive, no doubt about that. |
Hunter | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 08:45 pm     From the moment I saw the clip of Lisas'...aluring smile at the lead in to the show...I was captivated by her beauty. If she only hadn't...talked. I prefer...strong...intelligent women. Still...She has a million dollar smile Maybe some..Crest ads ?????? |
Azriel | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 09:43 pm     Okay, I can agree with most of his long list of Lisa's positive attributes, but 'modest' in her description just made me go HUH??? But, then Dani confirmed that assessment so...geesh, talk about revisionist history.  |
Laura11103 | Wednesday, October 02, 2002 - 11:39 am     I remember Lisa telling promising Danielle that she'd reveal her secrets after the show ended and Danielle said she'd have to tell her husband, and Lisa said that's fine that she was referring to the press and D got all excited. So the snake reference can't be it. I also think Lisa's a gorgeous looking gal, what great hair she has! |
Sabbatia | Wednesday, October 02, 2002 - 10:05 pm     I actually liked the article, and agree with what he had to say about her looks....with one small exception. I don't see nicole Kidman as attractive. Lisa has her beat in the looks dept. She really does have a gorgeous smile, and she smiles often. She seems to be a happy person and it shows. |
Mrdisguise | Thursday, October 03, 2002 - 06:31 am     Nicole Kidman is a classic beauty. (A+) Lisa is pretty but not pretty enough to be an actress. Sorry. (B-) |
Gidget | Thursday, October 03, 2002 - 10:39 am     Lisa's face has great symmetry, hence the perception of beauty and photogenesis (is that a word?) Her looks may not be your personal taste but she is a camera's dream. And in case that wasn't enough she has lustrous hair and a willowy body and she appears to be one of those naturally slim types, not the finger down the throat kind. I could hate her!!! (just joking) AAA+ |
Rosa | Thursday, October 03, 2002 - 12:11 pm     Nicole Kidman is a raving beauty. Lisa looks like Steven Tyler. |
Costacat | Thursday, October 03, 2002 - 12:13 pm     I always said Lisa is pretty! |
Espen | Thursday, October 03, 2002 - 12:29 pm     Lisa seems to be one of those people that can look pretty plain when she wants to "keep a low profile", i.e with her hair up and a serious expression, but then can be stunning when she smiles and "lets her hair down" (both literaly and figuratively).. Also, for some reason, she seems to look better "in motion" then on (many) pictures, so I can see why she might have looked even better "in person".. She might look even better if she added some weight, but then she seems to be more naturally slim built than anorexic.. Heh, she would probably be ideal for one of those movies where the "ugly duckling" (with the mandatory horn-rimmed glasses, hair in a bun, drab clothes) turns out to be a "hidden princess" (and winner of 500K!) who gets the Prince.. (Eric..or Jason?) |
Oregonfire | Thursday, October 03, 2002 - 04:21 pm     Actually, since nobody, asked, what I find keeps Lisa out of the beautiful category is her jaw and profile. I think her jaw juts out too much to be in perfect proportion. The shape of a person's head should be nicely rounded with a strong jawline in order to be beautiful. Lisa is striking, but coloring, which is her strong suit, is somewhat secondary to form. (Yes I study art!) I judge how beautiful someone is by how they look with their hair up and off the face or cut short, not by how they look when the hair is down. To me, Catherine Zeta Jones and Charlize Theron are true beauties, for example. They could shave their heads and still be stunning. I am just as picky when judging art, architecture, cars, cats, movies, and articles about BB! I am just an all around picky, analytical person. But apparently lot of folks think Lisa is the cat's meow, so my opinion is pretty much just that. |
Misslibra | Thursday, October 03, 2002 - 08:58 pm     To me Lisa looks pretty without makeup, she is a natural beauty, gorgeous hair, great body. She has a lovely personality, a kind heart, and a caring soul. Who a person is on the inside makes a big impact on how beautiful they are on the outside. You could say Steven Tyler could be related to Lisa, but to say she looks like Steven Tyler is a bit far reaching, and a insult to say the least. Maybe you just haven't seen a Steven Tyler close up. Catherine Zeta Jones- A+ Nicole Kidman- A Of course just going by appearances with Catherine and Nicole, don't know how they are in the personality department, so that A+ and A could actually go down a notch or two. And I have never seen those two without makeup on. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that is definitely a true statement. Different strokes for different folks. Hey, how did we get on this topic about looks anyway? Back on topic here for a moment. I emailed Vernon Scott and asked him if he took any pictures of the wrap party, and this is the response I got... I don't know of any photos that we have of that event. You can check our website at www.upi.com/photos, but I don't think there is anything there. Roger Wollenberg UPI Photo And I couldn't find any pic's there either. I thought that it sucked that they didn't post a least one photo of the wrap party. Thank goodness for Josh, Jason's brother who was kind enough to posted pic's of the wrap party on Jason's site for us hardcore BB fans.  |
Fabnsab | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 02:31 am     Oregonfire, I, too, think it is MAINLY a guy thing. At work, all the guys go crazy and make dirty remarks when they see Lisa and the women all agree she is comely but nothing to write home about, but all the women think Amy is the most attractive and the guys called her pudgy and merely ok. So, my unofficial poll with about 18 20-30 somethings would rate Lisa a fave with the men and Amy with the ladies. I for one think Lisa is a nice package but not very facially attractive. BTW, I was surprised how many men said they thought Dani was attractive at my work. The men on the show never seemed to mention her "attributes." |
Denecee | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 10:52 am     I am a woman and I think Lisa is beautiful. Her only fault IMO is that she is too much of a follower but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Amy is pretty and I like her attitude. Really they have different looks, so I don't think one is prettier than the other. |
Oregonfire | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 11:45 am     Thanks, Fabnsab! So I'm not crazy. I think Dani is attractive too. I take it as a good sign that Dani's game play (and fellow HG bashing, pro or con) was the main focus of who she was on the show, not her looks. I guess my problem with the article was the excessive gushing. How attractive Lisa is really has little to do with how she played the game. But whatever. It's all over now.Just grasping at those last little straws in my BB addiction. |
Fanny | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 12:16 am     "...blondes Tonya and Lori were not around long enough to create clear impressions." Now that I've switched modes from BB to Survivor, somehow I'm imagining Tonya sunbathing on a sandy beach, face down. Any impressions she'd make would be pretty darned clear, if you catch my drift. |
