Idolworship | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:25 am     Yes, Kellirippa, I'm looking for Josh's last name, also, as it's become apparent that I missed some, uh, "interesting" pictures posted on the web. I just want to read the article, of course |
Idolworship | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:40 am     Kelli: Souza? |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:47 am     Kelli - Josh's last name from BB last year is 'Feinberg' |
Kellirippa | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:53 am     Thank you guys! |
Spunky | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:58 am     Why don't we have strategy threads for each hg instead of that angry face. Not everyone wants to say how much they like or dislike the hgs, we want to talk strategy and that threads seems to me only for opinions on the hgs and that red face only invites you to say negative stuff about them. |
Laisey | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:02 am     Spunky, maybe they're all sunburned; they are in southern California. |
Spunky | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:04 am     Laisey, I can't find the link Questions to Moderators... someone gave it to me before... |
Laisey | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:08 am     Spunky, try this. ../2710/11061.html?1060377624 |
Moderator | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:22 am     Spunky, we started the season with three iconized areas for housguest discussions, including the Strategy threads, however they were not being used and comments were made that it was difficult to discuss a single HGs strategy since most were based on alliances and such. Therefore, the strategy threads were eliminated from the board. You can see how it was originally setup by reading the announcement in the **PLEASE READ** Notes From the Mods thread. Mod hd |
Whit4you | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:36 am     Spunk - I think the 'debate' threads are a fine spot to discuss the various houseguests strategy - far as I know you aren't required to say negative stuff about a houseguest in their debate thread - think those are there to discuss and debate the houseguest and all aspects of them including their strategy. Last year some posters felt frustrated that they couldn't say a word about their favorite houseguest without others dissing / bashing their favorite houseguest... and others felt frustrated that they could not say anything that wasn't positive about a particular houseguest without the fans of that HG jumping on them for doing so. So that sort of polorized this board a bit. So now there's a thread for each HG where a fan can go and talk about that HG without having to listen to all the negatives... and there's a thread where non-fans of a particular houseguest can go and discuss that HG without being critisized for being a non-fan. I am glad they are out in the general area now - for some totally unknown reason I just never managed to go to that area but now that they are out here I read them all. As far as the 'angry face' icon - we are all adults here I can't imagine someone deciding to change what they were planning to post to the thread because of the look of the icon. But you could be right maybe there's some who feel they can't discuss the HG's in those thread unless they say negatives - seems to me it's a 'debate' thread meaning fans and non-fans of a HG should be able to debate the HG there, it's just a place to leave out the comments about the posts, and posters themselves and limit it to discussing the actual houseguest and their actions / reactions - strategies and so on. My perception of these threads and their intent could be totally wrong, I watched the polarization develop last year - was pretty frustrated by it - but the mods did their best to try to alliaveate the tension here with this new method. I guess we are all free to use the fan / debate threads as we see fit and let the mods remove anything they feel is not appropriate there. |
Kellirippa | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:40 am     Does anyone know exactly what all the big happenings in the house late last night (early this morning) were? Apparently a lot went on and was not caught by lfposters... can anybody fill me in or send me to the right thread? |
Laisey | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:54 am     Kelli, I haven't made it through last night's LFPs yet, but have you tried Jokers site. They don't always go into much detail, but they usually have enough coverage to give an idea of what's been happening. |
Whit4you | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:59 am     Well there were 4 different convo's going on at once for an hour or two - I could only watch one and keep an eye on a 2nd at any given time. Don't know if Joker's or one of the other boards with live feeds captured it or not. The jist however is that Jun and Allie's playing both sides, and lying etc all came out last night via them being a bit too manipulative and pushing nate too far - he called out Jun on all that she's been doing in front of the Jee 3, and Allie on all she's been doing in front of Jack and Erika. In the end Jun and Allie were (or appeared to be) totally against each other, with Jun totally campaigning with the J3 against Allie. Well there was alot more that went on lol, but that's some of it. The game changed last night thanks to Nate calling the girl's hands. Jack and Erika might just make it to the end now - not that I care but alot here seem very anti J3 so at least it'll make them happy |
Laisey | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:11 pm     I have a question for those of you in the LA area, and it is only slightly related to BB. Do you not have mosquitos out there or does the city do an extraordinary job of control. I have never seen, heard, or read anything about the HGs complaining about mosquito bites or slapping themselves while sitting outside to the point that it sounds like a percussion band. |
Onlyhuman | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:12 pm     Kelli, in general, this is what happened... Supposedly, Jun & Nate were talking about how trustworthy Ali was and Jun told him no to trust her, that she had made a deal with the stooges and would not be putting them up. Nate then went to Ali with this information, and Ali got upset and started blaming Jun for stirring things up. Ali then went in and confronted Jun (in front of the stooges), who basically said nothing, though she really didn't deny that she said Ali was untrustworthy. Justin then told Ali to tell Nathan to stop being a baby. Ali went back outside and told Nathan that Justin had called him a baby and then spouted several other things that they had supposedly said about him (though I think she was not very accurate). Nathan then got angry and went inside, but instead on confronting Justin, he accused Jun of stirring things up and making up lies about Alison. Jun once again didn't actively deny anything, just kinda laughed and when he left, the stooges plus Jun started talking about what a baby he is. Then Jun & Jee went outside with everyone, though there was no confrontation. Justin went into the bathroom and Ali confronted him, using her babytalk and whining about how hard she has it having to deal with Nathan, who keeps accusing her of betraying him. Justin basically told her to suck up and deal. When Ali started accusing Jun of stirring things up, Justin told her she was just as bad, going out and telling Nathan that they had called him a baby. Alison did her baby talk whining tap dance and got Justin to confirm that they will not nominate her until it is just she and Jun left, but he told her flat out that the guys will stick together. After Ali left, Robert & Justin confirmed again that they will carry both Jun & Ali but that they can't let Jun know that and that they have to make sure their story is straight when Ali doesn't nominate them next time. During this, there was another conversation between Jun & Nate, with respect to Ali, but I think the gist of all of it was Nathan saying that he doesn't trust Ali because he doesn't trust ANYONE in the house. Later, Nate went to the sandbox and started whining about Ali to Erika and Jack. However, even though he kept talking about how he felt betrayed, he told them that they should trust Ali. Erika finally admitted that she can't trust Ali because of all the things Ali has done, especially since she didn't put up Justin like she had promised Nate. Ali came in and interrupted that conversation and the three talked about the other side for a while. After Nate & Ali left, Jack & Erika discussed how they can't rely on Ali and they HAVE to win HOH this week. They think Ali & Jun won't try very hard and that they just have to beat Robert & Jee. In the other room, Ali managed to cry and babytalk her way back into Nate's good graces. It really was a sight to behold, the way she has him by his private parts! |
Kc103 | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:14 pm     Hi all. Is the veto competition this afternoon? I always forget if it's Sat. or Sun. If so, is anyone planning on using it or is Nate definitely gone? (Had out of town relatives this weekend and haven't been getting a chance to follow much. Even forgot to set my tape on Friday before we left for dinner; so I missed that show! ) Thanks to anyone who can "summarize" any deals/info/alliances that have gone on just recently! |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:24 pm     Laisey LA is in the desert, with low humidity. Mosquitoes are far more rare than in most parts of the country. They are not unheard of, but not common. As an ex-Chicagoan and ex-New Yorker, I have to say it (along with the 58 degree summer nights) one of the best elements of Southern California life/ |
Costacat | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:24 pm     Laisey, can't speak much for LA, but here in San Diego mosquitos are mostly unheard of. See hon, southern California is a desert. That means that we really don't have much in the way of standing pools of water (ponds, puddles, and so on) in which mosquitos breed. I mean, it's 80 degrees here in the city today (100 degrees in our outlying eastern county). We haven't had measurable rain in ages. There ain't no water around unless people are doing the watering themselves. |
Costacat | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Jinx to Sean! |
Gina8642 | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:26 pm     Only - Thanks for the synapsis - I've been trying to figure this one out since logging on today. |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:27 pm     I'd say rather that Costacat is a copycat <g> |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:28 pm     To the next question about standing-- what about the pool? There are chemicals to inhibit mosquitoes. I have a fountain with running water that otherwise would draw mosquitoes; I just add a bit of bleach to the water, takes care of the problem. |
Bonzacat | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:29 pm     Laisey -- regarding mosquitos in the L.A. area - depends on location but for the most part we have very few to none. It's not an insect control issus, they just go someplace else! I have family near the beach in Santa Monica and they have none. I am about 10 miles from the water (as the crow flies) and we have a smattering in the Summer. I would imagine in the "valley" location of the BB hose they also have a smattering. |
Ezgoing | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:32 pm     kc, Veto competition already took place, Robert won; doubtful he'll use it though. POV meeting should be in a little while based on previous times. Looks as if Nate is still the targeted one to evict. You should read the excellent post above by Onlyhuman which details a significant event last night re:alliances/deals/info---basically Nate got fed up with how Jun and Ali have both going back and forth in their loyalties, told the others what each had been saying/doing behind their backs,(raising doubts perhaps?) His revelations have had 'some' impact on the Jee3, Erika and Jack--up for interpretation and debate as to how it may ultimately affect the game, but it does seem to have stirred things up a bit. Hope that helps! |
Kellirippa | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 12:32 pm     Thanks soooo much Laisey, Whit4 and Onlyhuman (500!) |
