Where have all the GOOD people gone???
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 09:18 am     the good people left last year. 'good' meaning exciting, witty and fun to watch. and, maybe if they had a celebrity BB, 'barry drewmore' could be on it! |
Crossfire | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 09:26 am     He was certainly in there long enough to convince him that Erica was not going to give in on that challenge. Could he have outlasted her? Not likely. I've seen variations of this many times, so I'm not picking on you specifically Jimmer, but I don't 'get' the logic in it. Why is it presumed that Jee was in long enough to see that Erika was not going to leave, but not the other way around. How come Erika did not see that Jee was not going to leave? Is is also stated that he could not outlast her. Why not? Given that he did in fact leave, I guess this is true, but lets say he decided to stick around...I don't see where one person has any apparent advantage over another. What I am saying is that there was nothing terribly distressing about the situation. |
Justareader | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 09:26 am     I was watching Joe Schmo the other day on Spike tv and thought to my self: how refreshing if BB would cast people like Matt. He seems nice, funny, adventurous, honest...just the type of HG that would make BB a funner experience to watch - he is playing the game (as he knows it) but is an upstanding guy. NO he is not a "knock-out" eye candy type of guy but he is not ugly, and he is not a actor wanna be: he said he was there because he has nothing else to do! how refreshing! he did preface the statement by saying that the money would be helpful in getting his life on track.... |
Jimmer | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 09:45 am     I understand your point about the cage Crossfire. However, ultimately, someone has to decide to quit first or they’d still be in there! I guess the point is that Jee did not outwardly appear to be showing an inordinate amount of discomfort and that is probably why most people are saying he gave in too easily. <ModSD - edited because the reference was deleted. Thanks!> |
Crossfire | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 09:50 am     Yes, that would be my take, he did give in too easily given the consequences for his team. If it were me, I'd have set up camp for the long haul and started in on a marathon run of 99 bottles on the wall. Don't get me wrong though, I am glad he did leave, it was just what Erika and Jack and the game needed at that time. |
Moelicious | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:13 pm     The good, the bad and the Ali... |
Mkcantjump | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:26 pm     For those of you who think erika is any better than the rest, please take time to read the Ali/Jun embarressed thread. |
Reichenfan8 | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:31 pm     crossfire, i think most people think that jee wouldn't have outlasted erika is because of what they saw of the competition on the live feeds. while jee wasn't on his deathbed or anything, he did look like he was in quite a bit of pain while Erika was on her corner of the cage, looking perfectly comfortable and happy and going on and on about how she could go all night. from watching the whole 6 and a half hours or so of the competition, if i were jee, i wouldn't have thought i had a chance of outlasting erika. |
Misslibra | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:34 pm     Like someone said everyone who is left has some good in them, even though at times it's hard to believe it. |
Seamonkey | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:46 pm     The cage was too short for the three guys who were in it. Erika said it was just right for her. |
Amari | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:49 pm     A "good" BB houseguest is like beauty - in the eye of the beholder. |
Wgm | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:55 pm     One went home, the other two are on the jury. That's where all of the good people are gone. |
Kellirippa | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:59 pm     Why do we want a "good" person to win? The rules of this game say do what-ever is necessary to win the money. To me a good person is the one who plays the game, within the rules, to the best of their abilities. This game is BB, winning doesn't require integrity, it's not even desirable. Ever notice that at the re-union shows everybody seems to be one big happy family? I think that's because once they are removed from the "game", they realize that the people that burned them aren't bad people, they are just good game players. |
Busydizzle | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 08:03 pm     Amen, Kelli!!! You've hit the nail on the head. |
Misslibra | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:05 pm     Kelli, so are your saying it's ok to reward bad behavior because it's just a game ? If someone who have displayed bad behavior through out the game wins, to me that is rewarding them for bad behavior. Bad behavior is bad behavior even if it's just a game with no rules. Just because you have no rules does that mean you take every opportunity to display the worst behavior any human being can display ? I think not. For me when you can play a can game that has no rules as to how nasty you can be to another person and you instead of taking the low road you take the high road, you will always get respect more so then people who choose to play the game without integrity. That is why when you have a Robert or Ali playing the game you will hear more negative opinions about them. And as many of you who think it's ok to behave like this because it's only a game, there is just as many who think it is not alright. And that is the reason I believe some want to see "good" win over "bad" even in a game with hardly any rules. I will agree the show would be boring without the Ali's and the Robert's but I still don't want to see them win the game. |
Cliotheleo | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:07 pm     Well Libra, you didn't ask me but yes, it is ok to reward bad behaviour because it's just a game. Speaking of which .......... man I miss Will Kirby! |
Misslibra | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:15 pm     Ewwwwwww... and I my good friend do not! The world would be a very boring place if we all had the same perceptions, now wouldn't it. LOL |
Spunky | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:18 pm     There is still Erika.. Go Erika go!! (This reminds me when I wanted Lisa to win and she did!!) |
Cliotheleo | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:33 pm     Yep, it sure would. It would be kinda like having a house full of good people. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Erika, she's just way too vanilla for me. A sweet girl won last year, can't we get something different this year? You know, change it up each year, good, evil, good, evil etc. |
Misslibra | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:36 pm     Clio let me think... No! LOL Oh I agree, we need a mixture of good and evil... I mean bad to balance out the house.

Cliotheleo | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 11:04 pm     Libra, you want to know what's ironic? HGs behaving badly doesn't bother me, let them go at it for all I care. On the other hand POSTERS making hating on HGs into a contact sport annoys me BIG time. I just realized the parallel. |
Misslibra | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 11:09 pm     Clio very ironic... I think someone should do a study on internet viewer's who watch the show, bet it would be a interesting one. |
