Phoebemonica28 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:29 am     I voted for Erika; I was tempted to vote for Robert out of sympathy for his homesickness for his daughter, but honestly, I figure that Erika's mother probably feels the exact same way about Erika and wants so badly to talk to her. (I know it isn't an exact comparison b/c Erika's mom can see her on TV and Robt can't see his daughter on TV, but I still think the emotional separation is similar.) So, being an Erika supporter from day one, and not being a Robert supporter at all, I voted for Erika. (And the pink is kind of growing on me, oddly enough!) ;-) |
Eeyoreslament | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:33 am     Personally, I don't think Robert's choice to go into the house was a choice to ABANDON his daughter. If you had a chance to win half a million dollars, by taking a 3 month vacation, I would do it too. Chances are the guy doesn't have much time with her in the first place(due to the judicial bias for women to get custody, even more so with a female child). Plus, if the guy is unemployed, A one in 12 shot at 500,000 dollars to provide for his daughter seems like a hard thing to pass up. While I realize this may belong in the "robert debate thread", I just had to say it here, for those people that are unfairly judging his relationship choices with his daughter. If you are going to choose a reason to vote against him, do it for his misogynistic comments. There are plenty of other worse fathers out there. |
Marymary | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:36 am     Justin??? well...that IS different!! Wasn't it his family he wanted to hear from?? I can handle it if he wins...I just don't want Ali or Jun to win a letter from their boyfriends(??????) I should say their imaginary boyfriends...not sure how a romantic partner would feel about the way either of them conduct themselves around men. |
Cricket | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:43 am     I also voted for Erika; however, now that she is HOH, I wonder if her mother sent a letter in her gift basket. How would that affect America's choice? Would they let Erika get 2 letters? |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:06 am     I voted for Erika. Maybe she can get a letter from a friend instead of her mom since she already presumably got one from mom. I don't think Robert deserves it. I don't care that he has a daughter. He gets all teary and sensitive talking about his daughter but then he turns around and badmouths everyone else in the house. No sympathy from me. If he wants so badly to see or hear from his daughter, I'd say let him wait another week, he'll be in the sequester house soon enough. Give it to someone who is nice and deserving. |
Konamouse | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:12 am     I have to wonder if Robert has custody of his daughter, or just visitation. The TV show has made it seem like she lives with him...but I'll bet she actually lives with her mom...so Robert wasn't abandoning her in that sense. I feel sorry for him missing his daughter, but not for all the arrogence and his male chauvanistic behaviors in the house. I voted for Jack. |
Spwisc | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:16 am     I voted for Jee to get the letter from home. He's been talking about his girlfriend since he got in the house. Wow, just reading back at who you all voted for ... Erika?? Why?? I don't recall her talking about home or family at all. Guess I missed something. |
Mamie316 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:18 am     I voted for Jack. I know that they are all missing their loved ones. And Alison wants a letter from Donny? It could be a Dear John letter, now that would be interesting! And I know Robert is missing his daughter but it would be all about him if he won it. No thanks! |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:20 am     I voted for Erika because she seems the nicest to me, and I like her better than anyone else. I don't care about who misses who the most, I just care about who I would like to see rewarded. She may not have a boyfriend or husband at home that she misses but it doesn't mean that she doesn't miss anyone. Has Robert ever talked about the circumstances of his daughter? Who is the mother? Were they married? If it was simply an out-of-wedlock baby I would think that the chances of him having custody (barring any kind of mental or drug problem in the mother) seem slim. |
Catkey94 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:22 am     I voted for Jack. I am sorry, but the only vote I would give to Robert would be to evict him from the house. |
Idlechitchat | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:40 am     Ok I'm feeling like the dumbest person in the world, but I can't figure out where to vote on the page. I clicked on America's Choice vote here and now I don't see anything. Please help the dumbest person in the world |
Philamom | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:54 am     Just follow this link Idle http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother4/polls/americas_choice/vote.shtml |
Boberg | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:55 am     Idlechitchat I kept having the voting choiced pop up behind the page I was on..so after clicking on America's Choice to vote, close that page and see if it is behind there. |
Idlechitchat | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:03 am     Thanks so much guys. I have received my intelligence level back again. |
Ryn | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:31 am     I voted for Robert. he may not be my favorite HG but that guy has been through a hell of a lot and you can tell he loves his little girl. He is the only one in the house with a young child - and I know if I were away from my 3 kids I would REALLY miss them. |
Denecee | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:36 am     I didn't vote but I hope Robert or Jee gets the America's choise award. |
Bracken | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:43 am     There is no need to vote for Erika today since she should be getting a letter from home as HOH. As far as I am concerned with Robert, he could get a letter from his little girl if he won an HOH contest and he hasn't. He even wimped out last night so I have no pity -- sorry, I just don't care whether he has a child or not, he's just said too many despicable things -- especially about women and he has a daughter for crying out loud -- for me to give him anything. I know his little girl is innocent in all this but I just can't muster the sympathy necessary to give him a vote. Jack has six kids and I'm sure he'd like to hear from anyone of them after dealing with these bozos for five weeks. My vote is going to Jack. |
Bcandscott | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:43 am     The only way I'd want Robert to get a letter from his daughter would be if it said, "Dear Daddy, I miss you and I'm growing up while you are gone. When I get to be a woman, will I only be good for one thing???? When I'm grown will you call me a b*tch?" Maybe THAT would wake him up, but I doubt it. |
Merrywidow | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:59 am     I voted for Jee. He is such a sincere, likeable guy & very devoted to his family. I'm with those who believe Robert just has visitation with his daughter. |
Bracken | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:02 am     BcandScott - I'm LMAO here. I was attempting to be nice and not stir up the Robert voters. In the live feed chat rooms last night the people were overwhelmingly voting for Robert's little girl to send her "Daddy" a letter. And, I kept thinking -- all fathers are not created equal-- and why does his having a child merit a vote? Anyway, does anybody know when they will actually get the letter? Will it be before the Tuesday show? I have forgotten all about the timing of America's Choice from past seasons. I only remember the trampoline with Will and have no idea what day that arrived. |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:14 am     If it's like last year, we will probably see footage of the announcement of the AC on the Friday (Saturday) nomination show. The winner gets announced to the house sometime in between. The airing of the footage will be on the Tuesday veto show. I have a feeling that Robert will win, just because he has a daughter. Ugh. I think a lot of people are equating having a daughter with being angelic. Every single one of the houseguests have parents who miss them as well - I'm sure all of their parents would love to communicate with their children. I'd still like to know the circumstances of this daughter. I think if he was divorced, they would say that he is divorced. Obviously these are my views only but I see nothing admirable about having a child out of wedlock. He is no saint simply because he fathered a child. Unfortunately, I think Robert will win. Danielle was hated by many last year and she still won the video from home because she was in tears over the opportunity to see her daughters. |
Ark | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:17 am     The Mom in me was going to cast my vote for Robert, even though I can't stand him. Bcandscott convinced me that I should cast my votes for Jack instead. BTW, I voted more than once. |
Wolf | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:19 am     Crazydog: I believe we HAVE seen Robert talking about his divorce... |
Pengoh | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:21 am     I believe Robert has talked about being divorced many times |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:22 am     Thanks, I didn't realize that he was divorced. I am surprised they don't list him as "divorced" when they do so for Jack. And Jack still lives with his ex-wife. Now I am finding it hard to believe that some poor girl actually married Robert. I guess this gives hope to people everywhere! |
