I agree Observerx....she is a very beautiful girl and I hope someone offers her something that puts her in the spot light.

I truly believe the producers like her so maybe she has something waiting when she gets out.

She would def have the last laugh. :-)

Also I truly think she is excited about the prospect of getting to see her family and friends again. After living with all she has these past weeks who could blame her.

Altho I will be sad to see her go if she does, I'm glad she will no longer have to deal with all the "vipers" in that house.

IMHO, this experience will be a positive one for Amy and she will benefit from it.

I thought she showed a lot of class the last few
days by not campaigning agaisnt Marc.

Shows she can learn from her past mistakes.

I would love a twist where she gets to stay this week, but if she leaves I only wish her the best.

I just noticed that the Danielle love thread has more posts that this Amy love thread.

That just isn't right, people.

Amy has grace. Maybe the game IS about ungracious behavior. Maybe that's part of her impetus for wanting to be loaded most of the time. She's pretty mischievous with all the trash talking as well.

She's young and she's wants her Prince Charming.

She'll grow up and move beyond that fantasy. I hope, for her sake.

She's had to take a lot abuse from this group but I expect she'll get over that too.

I like her and I think she'll leave healthier than Danielle or Jason.

sorry for the cross-posting (if anyone read this in "amy crews support group"....

darn, i had a question that really doesnt have much to do with supporting Amy but I cant make a new thread so here goes...

I am bothered by something I read in the messages on "amycrews.com".. one of her uncles wrote and said he's been talking to her dad everyday and that they are going tomorrow (today I think) to hunt doves. :'( I am a HUGE animal lover and I wish I hadnt read this. I just rescued several doves over a few months time and send them to an emergency vet and nursed one that made it (another hadnt made it).. and I cant stand the thought that someone would just go out and shoot them down. So, my question is: Has Amy mentioned this dove hunting stuff at any time and, if so, do they eat them? I hope at LEAST they will be eaten and not just shot down and left to die. That would be soo cruel. :'( Also, does anyone here know how Amy herself feels about hunting?

Amy has spoken many times about the dove hunts and she does enjoy them. I am sure her family would cook them as they are a delicacy. I have never hunted anything, but it is a much loved sport around here. I live about 30 miles north of where Amy lives.

I was sad to see that Jason has told Lisa she is safe this week. I hope he wakes up and realizes Lisa is more likely to beat him in the finals because of the six-pack connection. I have never understood why he is not closer to Amy, although he does have his moments when he seems to like her. He usually chooses someone else to support however. He would have voted her off last week if he had not been afraid of what Marcy was going to do. Wake up and smell the roses. Amy would be a great ally if given half a chance.

I dont think Amy would win the game (due to the jury probably feeling it is unfair she is still there after being evicted).. but she could and should be the runnerup! Because who else better to have beside you, strategically speaking.. Therefore, I think plotting to evict Amy and keep Lisa is foolish..

>>Amy has spoken many times about the dove hunts and she does enjoy them. I am sure her family would cook them as they are a delicacy.<<

well, as I said on the other Amy thread, it at least is "ok" if they eat what they hunt. I dont like hunting as a sport, I am too sensitive about animals.. but at least eat what you are killing. So, I am glad that at least it seems they do. Thanks for responding..

To all the people who 'love animals'. If it wasn't for hunters we wouldn't still retain the natural resources we do in this country.

I grew up as a 'city girl' who was greatly offended that any one would try to 'kill bambi'. I ended up studying wildlife biology in college. Here I learned, that it was only through the efforts of people who liked to hunt and fish that we retained our natural resoucrce and biodiversity in North America.

Please, please educate yourselves on how much hunters have helped us before you cast stones at them for 'killing little cute animals'. Most hunters kill animals in a much more humane way then the livestock industry does. So unless you are a vegan (one who consumes no animal products at all) I don't think you can complain about the suffering of animals.

Human bodies were clearly designed to consume animal products, from our teeth, to our stomachs, to our perfered nutritional balance. Please don't get upset because some people can go out and do the killing themselves and some prefer to pick up carefully packaged food in the grocery store.

Hunters are wild animals and biodiversity's best defense against extinction and destruction.

Ok, 'nuff said. I'm going now. Just stop casting stones please.....

And, BTW, doves are horribly over populated in this country because we have destroyed sooo many of their natural predetors. Over population can lead to diseases and other serious problems. If the hunters don't kill them, wildlife officials may end up having to carry out 'control programs', which can be even worse.

I'm not trying to cast stones and I apologize if I came off that way. I did say it was "ok" if they eat what they hunt. I KNOW I cant complain too much because yes I do go out and buy meat. I was JUST saying that I personally just dont like it because I am sensitive about it. I know some hunters who kill humanely and eat what they kill. But others (the ones I mostly complain about) that kill purely for sport and leave the dead or dying animal there and think its fun. It;s like "target practice" for them and nothing more. A life is a life, whether it's animal or human. It should be respected.

Sunflowr, I get the impression that Amy's friends and family dove hunt, so they can eat them, it sounds to me like my family hunting deer.

We get so excited about the different vesion meals we will have if someone gets a deer. No one in our group of people hunt just to kill, we all hunt because the deer population around us is extremely high, too many actually starve due to the overpopulation, and because we look forward to our favorite recipes. Does that help at all?

secretsmile.. yes, I think that is what Amy's friends and family do as well. I was just asking because.. well, I dont know them and was just wondering what their motives were behind the hunting they do. Thanks to the responses I recieved, I can understand better and not feel as badly as I did before.. which was the purpose behind my asking.. Hopefully I didnt step on any toes here. Again thanks for the responses. :)

My comments were not directly at you. I appologize if it seemed that way. I just want everyone who starts to think negativly toward hunters to take a deep breath and think about it. And if they don't know the facts, to educate themselves on it.

A few small facts: Teddy Roosevelt, a big game enthusiast, is responsible for our Natational Forest System. Federal taxes on hunting and fishing equipment fund federal wildlife programs, and have since the 1930's. People who hunt and fish and harvest timber are the ones who have protected wildlife and their habitat for the last 500+ years, not animal rights activists.

I learned sooo much in at University about how much hunters help us, even the ones who only kill for sport, I just want others to be aware of this. Yes, all life is life and it deserves to be respected. But over populated Bambis or Doves are harming a lot of 'life' just by being alive. Balance in natural habitats is very important (more important than the life of any individual animal). Humans have intervened and allowed a lot of biodiversity and habitat to be destroyed by allowing overpopulation of some creatures.

Selling liscenses for hunting and fishing remains today the main sorce of income for state DNRs, or their like, to protect state natural resources. The federal systems collects money through taxes on hunting and fishing equipment. So, why it may not be pleasant that they kill animals, there wouldn't be any place for those animals to live if it wasn't from the funds collected from hunters, the ones who kill for food or the ones who kill soley for sport or trophies (taxes, liscenses, hunters organizations, etc.).

Also, the vast majority of people in school for wildlife management are hunters themselves. And it is only through growing up in a hunting family that they developed a love and respect for the outdoors and a desire to protect it. If it wasn't for people like this, we wouldn't have anyone with their breadth of knowlege and understanding managing of wildlife habitat and diversity. People like myself (tree hugging bambi lovers) make up a minority in wildlife programs and we were all surprised by how very wrong we had hunters. We also had a hard time learning in four years of school even half of what these hunters knew in their freshman year.

I guess I just want some other 'tree hugging bambi lovers' like myself to realize what a great asset hunters are to our country and its biodiversity, even the ones who don't kill for food.

I probably tend to agree with you here, in general... I know this can be a problem. But I was just thinking, abstractly: what if someday some beings higher than us thought that about US???

So...back to the title of the thread.... I LOVE AMY! lol, I know this isn't the most popular stand to take but I liked her in the tree, the first night, I think her way of playing the game by not having any hard core alliances has actually been a good plan. She has bashed Tonya and Chiara, but then again, they were on her from the start (JMO).

So I wish she was nicer, yes, but on the other hand, the chi**ora comment, compared to the F**king C**nt that Chiara made seems to at least cancel each other out in my view.

Yes, and at least Amy did not want to rip Chi**ora's larynx out.

LOL I like Amy too. I'm glad she won the $10,000 because I don't see how she can pull it out this week and I'm glad she has been rewarded for living through this circus.

I love Amy too, but I want her to be evicted
this week, only because I think Dani can
beat her if she makes the finals. I don't
want there to be any chance Dani wins! I think
Amy would be great in a sitcom with somebody
like Marcellas. Too funny!

Sunflowr

Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 09:31 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I think Amy and Marcellas should have a morning show on TV! ;) That would be something! :)
