Lauram | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:06 am     You know if Jun was really playing this game for the $$ she might be a bit upset that she was taken out of the game and not able to participate in the veto competition. Last week Jee underscored the importance of his winning the veto comp so as tho ensure his nominations stick. Now this week, when they are even 1 step closer to the end, Jun was not allowed to ensure her nominations? Now I know she got her 15 mins of fame at the awards but is that better than the $$ and "fame" that would come with that? (I say all this as someone who is not much into MTV music videos and seeing all the "stars" would have been lost on me.) |
Katlady53 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:08 am     I understand your argument, Lauram, but I have a feeling that Jun enjoyed the award show so much that she won't care about POV all that much--especially since Ali won. Of course, I'm probably gonna be wrong about this. Lol |
Crazydog | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:10 am     Well, she kind of had a chance to participate... if no one guessed it correctly, then she would have gotten the veto. And she did get a chance to go somewhere most people wouldn't get a chance to. I think it was a tradeoff, and at least one of the girls won the veto instead of the guys. |
Woofy | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:24 am     Lauram, please understand that NO FAME comes from winning (or playing) Big Brother. |
Lauram | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:32 am     Oh I understand that but to the HGs? |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:38 am     I wonder what Julie would have done/said if Jun had told her, "Julie, I'd rather not leave the house and the game until it's over" |
Costacat | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:50 am     I think Jun *might* have been a bit upset if Jee or Robert had won the POV. But since Alison won, I don't think she'll be mad at all. I think she had a great opportunity to leave the house, escape the game, and go to the MTV Video Music Awards. After almost 2 months cooped up with the same people, wouldn't YOU jump at that chance? Also, she got only about 15 SECONDS of fame at the VMAs. Which is about equivalent to what she will get *if* she wins BB. If I were in her shoes, I would've picked the VMAs over the POV competition. |
Gina8642 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:57 am     This game is inheriantly 'unfair'. Last year Chiara was booted by Amy after returning to the house. This year Jun is removed. Besides, I think Jun had a decent chance to win POV. The others didn't know it. Eirka only got it with Ali's help. This game has twists like this. It the way it is, they signed up for it. That press release about the appearance that was posted earlier said this VMA trip was specifically designed to create jelousy in the house. The producers wanted to make it difficult for the one who got to go on the trip. |
Ryanc829 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:03 am     I do think it would've been better if they had given her the opertunity to pass the trip off to someone else somehow. |
Rhett | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:11 am     Should Jun be Mad? No |
Sheilaree | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:48 am     Like she would pass it up someone else Please I don't think so I don't think Jun will be mad at all, would you? |
Spunky | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:53 am     She did have a shot at it...and she almost got it but for Ali's smart thinking.. I am just curious to know if she will be told who won the POV and if she can base her nominations on that...Anyone knows? |
Wgm | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 06:29 pm     I think that BB may have fixed this competion to make sure that the HOH did not have the power of veto. Jun had won HOH after Jee had accepted the veto deal and after Jack was evicted. The timing was perfect to give Jun HOH now so the power would switch back to the orginial 8. Jun will nominate Robert and Jee. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 06:34 pm     Actually, she will (so far this is the plan), nominate Ali and Robert. This keeps the boys from trying to get Ali to take them off the block, Ali gets her dramatic moment, which she has been planning, in the spotlight, using the veto, then Jee will be nominated. Of course it also cleverly negates Ali's power of veto, had she been planning to pull something like taking off one of the guys which would then put Erika on the block and vulnerable if Ali and the guy who was off the block wanted to vote Erika out. Now, Ali loses that power and Jun retains it.. Ali removes herself from the block and Jun has a choice of putting up Jee and Erika.. I think Jee and Robert WILL end up on the block.. Jun is actually the most solidly behind getting the guys out at this point (I think). |
Texasdeb | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 06:42 pm     Jun won't be mad! She & Jee only aligned until final 5. Jun will initially put up Rob/Ali, Ali will veto herself off & Jun will be forced to put up Jee. The girls aren't playing stupid. FINALLY! |
Seamonkey | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 07:17 pm     Jun just told Robert that she is well aware that getting to go to the awards could get her put up or evicted or lose votes on the jury.. she's not thrilled but she told Robert it was still worth it to go |
Texasdeb | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 07:25 pm     I did not see that Jun was given a choice to go or not to go. BB MADE her go. She needs to convey this to the others (& the sequestered need this on their vidio that JEE brings). This would not be fair any other way. I want Erika or Jun to win the $500 gran. (we all know Ali is getting 2nd place). Wouldn't it be just too cool if the final 2 could end up Erika/Jun. BB should do something to make this happen! |
