Josh,

thank you for sharing part of your life with us this summer. You left with class and dignity and I applaud you for that. Best wishes for the future. Merritt is lovely!

Dude!

Sorry to see you outta the house, I'll admit I totally disliked your actions etc in the house the first few weeks but I've figured out and you have acknowledged that was your strategy, and I was a good one - they were fools for keeping Roddy lol.

You grew on me and by the last week I really saw some great qualities in you and I do hope if you read the various threads about you - that you understand they are saying those things based on just what they saw in the house the first week or so and NOT you as a person ok :)

I wish you and Mewwit all the best in life and hope you have great success in life - you played a good game - had a great strategy. Hopefully you have a great strategy for life as well!


Take care!

Whitney :)

Josh, who'da thunk it!

In the end, I got to liking you and feeling a tug at the old heart for your pain during some of those hours alone. Your devotion to Roddy was uniquely sweet.

It did seem you came to a peace about it all tonight. What a grand way to finish. All the best:)

Josh,
you started out as my least favourite houseguest, but that changed as I watched you all and got to know you all better. Keeping your word to Lori made me re-evaluate. There were times when you made me mad, and times when you made me sad, but you were always interesting and a dynamo inside the house. I'm sure that those who voted you out will regret choosing you over Roddy as this week's evictee - because believe me, many of them DID want him to go before you!
I hope that you have a great post-BB life, and remember what a wonderful girl you have in Merritt (hope I didn't mispell her name-it's a very fitting one, because she's been as loyal to you as you were to her!) You'll be a super team, because you both have that loyalty gene :-)
Please don't be quite so blind as to stay loyal to Roddy, at the end of the game-be friends with everyone, but save your caring for those who really deserve it, like Merritt! And you know, once you're home, I'm sure you'll be able to be more objective about your experiences.
Thank you for sharing your life with us this summer-it's a very brave thing to agree to be in the spotlight 24/7, and more than most of us who watched you could do!
All the best Joshie! Shalom!
Ruth aka Bernie

Josh: You were always entertaining to watch in the house, and your exit was graceful and kind. It was hard watching you so hurt this past week, and even most of your detractors actually wound up rooting for you to overcome it and stay in the house. I think you have an awesome future, and great support with Merrit. You seem to love each other dearly. I wish you the best and thank you for allowing us to watch you play the game.

Warmest regards,

Kimi

Hi!
You seem like a fun guy, who is going to make Merritt a great husband.

But I am still concerned that you called Gerry a Nazi and his wife Eva Braun. I hope you regret that.

And try not to get so upset at people because they are older--one day hopefully you be older, too.

Other than that, I thought you were entertaining to watch, and although your strategy didn't work, it was a worthy strategy, if only because it was so "out there".

Peace,

Rebecca

Josh from one former NYer to another you rocked! You lied and you know what so did every other freaking person in that house so screw their self rightous act. America saw the truth. Chiara is so dishonest she makes you look like a choir boy. Good luck with your lady friend. She seems like a great catch. You should marry her. best of luck in the future. Oh last but not least. Rangers win the cup in 2003!

Although I cannot say I was rooting for you in the beginning, at the time of your nomination, I was very much on your side.

In your interview with Julie Chen, after the eviction, I think we all got to see the real you, and that person has tremendous potential.

I wish you and Merrit the best, your love for each other seems so honest and genuine, you have truly been blessed. I'm sure winning the money couldn't have hurt you any ;) but you have a wonderful woman to go home to, and that is worth so much more.

God Bless you both, now and in the future!

Josh,
You were a class act tonight. I respect you taking the high road. Good Luck, I'm very happy they had Merritt meet you. You can now kick back and watch Chiara make an a** of herself, and say I told them so.
You done well buddy!

Josh,

I just wanted to say that I thought you handled your exit from the house tonight with dignity. These past few days have been hard to watch. Every person in that house was guilty of lying and deceiving each other. It's part of the game. I don't think it should have been your turn to go this week, but that's conversation for another thread, I suppose.

I may not have always admired your approach, :) but I really admired the way you handled what happened tonight. I wish the best to you and Merritt. She seems like a lovely woman. I was thrilled to see her there for you tonight. And you should know what great friends you have. From what I have read here, they really care a lot about you.

You'll be missed on BB3.

Josh- your vote for Lori at the beginning was amazing and very "high road"- I commend you for that. Your bonding with the lizards was also nice to see- I'm all about animal lovers :)

I give credit to anyone who would allow themselves to have everything they do or say taped and potentially put on television and the internet. You opened yourself up to that and it's something that I would never be able to do. I aslo would never be able to spend that much time in a situation where I couldn't trust or really open up to anyone without it coming back to me.

Laugh off the bad stuff you hear- you did great and so what if you didn't win! You'll have your say in the end and now you get to be with people and pets that you love and that love you. Good luck to you and Merritt- hope you guys will pop on in here sometime and say hi!!!

You played hard, and you played well. I am sorry it was you that had to leave today. Your character exasperated me at times, and I am so glad I got to see more of the real Joshie during the last week.

Your interview with Julie was absolutely awesome. And your eviction speech was incredible. You handled yourself with real class, Josh. Your sweetness really came through, I just wanted to reach through my television and slap you on your ass.

From things that I have read about you in your life, you've had some challenges. However Josh, I can't help but think that this WILL be the beginning of a new life for you. You and Mewwitt. You have so much obvious potential, I hope you will be able to be patient till you see it coming your way. And it will. Cause good things come to good people, and you are one of the good ones, Joshie.

I wish you and Merritt the best of everything. You make such a darling couple. Clearly, you love each other very much.

I hope you'll feel free to visit our boards here, when you're up to it.

Best of luck to you. You ARE missed!!!!

Josh, you went from the bottom of my list to the top. The more I got to know you the better I liked you.

I admired your faithfulness to Merritt, your loyalty to people that you had given your friendship to and the compassion that I saw you give to other people like Amy when everyone was down on them. You gave me a lot of laughs with your diary room entries, too.

I wish you and Merritt a lifetime of happiness and love. :)

Josh,

Thanks for adding your colorful personality to the BB house - you made the show very interesting both on TV and via the Internet.

You and Merritt are an adorable couple and I send my best wishes to both of you for whatever life's future may hold.

Josh,

Sorry to see you leave this week. I admit that I wasn't sure about you as a player in the game at first, but there were times at first you truly surprised me, like when you did not vote for Lori to leave and held to your promise to her. Your speech at the veto meeting this week was right on and I admire the way you handled your eviction by taking the high road.

I wish you and Merritt the very best in life.

Josh,

Hope the best of luck with you and Merritt. Don't worry about what the detractors say, we know you and the other houseguests are just playing a role and trying your best to win a game. From just the brief time I saw you and Merritt, I know you are a sweet person outside the house. Any one is lucky to have you as a friend.

Best of luck again!

I enjoyed your approach to the game. You rose to the top of my list this last week. I would be very glad to have a friend like you. Thanks for the laughs.

Joshie,
I was very impressed with the way you handled your exit last night. You acted with class and dignity.
I got misty eyed at your reunion with Merritt. It was so sweet to watch and it made me very happy for you.
Have a great life with the lovely Merritt and have fun watching all the other houseguests scrambling and lying their way to the win.
Believe me...they all know how to take the low road.
Good Luck!

HI Josh,

Thanks for taking time out of your life to add so much excitment and enjoyment to ours. There were times you made me laugh right out loud with your crazy antics...and other times when you made me so mad I wanted to scream...but when you wept, I had tears in my eyes as well. The fact that you were able to elicit such repsonses shows how much your presence mattered. The house will be a very different place without you. You will be missed.

I am glad that your path led to you to cross mine...but I sure am glad that I didn't have to live in that house with you! I just wish we could have seen more of the "real" Josh....somehow I can't help, but feel we missed out on a lot.

Take care and all the best to you.

Josh,
Thank you for making my summer TV more enjoyable. It takes a certain kind of person to allow themselves to watched and second-guessed by strangers, 24/7. I really didn't like what I thought was arrogance in your DR entries, but after this past week, and last night's exit speech, I'm rethinking my position. I think what I saw this past week was the real Josh...if so, Merritt is a fortunate woman indeed.

Josh...I posted a thread to your friend Furry and Merrit telling them how touched I was when you said you had few friends and you cherished the ones you had. You should know your friends love you too!! Furry would come here and tell us how great you are and stick up for you. I told her that the last few nights we saw the Josh she sees and he is a special person. Good luck to you!! I wish you all the best
