Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 06:57 am     I admire Dana for her balls. The others in her original 8 allianace have GOOD REASON for being angry & discusted with her (for putting 2 of her own on the block) But she had the balls to do something most of us would not. What a gutsy move!! I will go back and hide behind my computer now.. |
Spwisc | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:25 am     LOL, you don't have to hide, Monkhead your opinion is just as important as anyone else here. Besides, I agree ;) Who are they to shame her for putting up Jack and Ali when they were trying their hardest to get her out last week? Let's just hope that someone from J5 gets the HOH tonite!!!! |
Kaili | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:39 am     Right- although Jee's crew would probably have been okay with the idea of getting her out as well- I don't know how high she is on anyone's list in terms of trust. Maybe Jun- but the guys will use her on their side until they have the numbers to not need her anymore. I sure don't see Jee/Justin/Robert voting each other out before getting rid of her. I do think it was a bold move on her part- but by doing it- before the nominations she was a "wildcard"- the nominations solidified her with the Jee group. With the other groups post-nomination reactions, they guaranteed that she WON"T return to their side. She'll go if she gets nominated this week- she would be put up with another of Jee's group and she would go (Jee's group voting against her to save their own as well as Nate's group voting against her). Jun would probably be the only potentially interesting vote and she would probably end up voting with the rest anyway. |
Bearware | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:39 am     I'm just not sure it's balls as much as it is just stupidity. Dana wasn't necessarily thinking with her mind, as much as she was reacting with her emotions, and that's not so terribly bright to do in this house. |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:44 am     The reason I don't think it was totally STUPIDITY on her part Bear, was she had to know the reprocussion her nominations would cause. SHE HAD TO...I think it was a THOUGHT OUT move on her part to screw the others, and I feel strongly it was a lot of BALLS on her part to take a chance like that!!! |
Ginap | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:44 am     I think it might be a good move too. If things work out she can get further with the boys than the Original group. Both of them might toss her to the curb as soon as she's not needed but the boys will need to keep her around longer than the others would. |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:49 am     Right on Ginap!!! Although don't get me wrong - I AM NOT A DANA FAN by any stretch!! |
Kaili | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:52 am     Considering Nate's group would keep her around until..hmmm..the next set of nominations and Jee's would keep her until Nate's group is taken care of- yeah, it could be a good move. but then she needs to hope that one of two things will happen- her new group goes on a HOH run (possible but unlikely for that many weeks) or the other group needs to find enough of a threat in someone else that they focus on that person instead. And even if that did happen, two would be put up and I don't think they could use a pawn. Dana doesn't have a super safe position in the house right now. I actually thing Jee is in the best position in the whole house. He has a good sized alliance and he's the least likely target of that alliance. |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:02 am     You are correct Kaili your last paragraph sums it up perfectly. Dana DOES NOT have a safe position now, yet she's hoping the focus changes to someone else - a new threat! I never thought I'd agree that JEE is in the best position now, but I do. He gets on my nerves, too, but I LOL at him when he is in his gulliable form! (like when they were messing with him about the lounge chairs!) I would like to see more from Erika and Jack. I wish this group had more 30-40 year olds; I think the 20 somethings are too immature, no offense out there PLEASE, but I'm 40 something and I really am not finding a conection to the younger bunch... |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:05 am     Monkhead, I LMBO off last night at Jee (during the show) which shocked me cuz I've never thought he was very funny. I thought the lounge chair and hammock thing was hilarious! Being way over 40, I can't really relate to the young 'uns either. I don't usually have that problem with younger people, though. I guess I just don't know a lot of 20-somethings in my real life who are as full of themselves as the BB HGs. |
Bigfan | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:07 am     Dana is female, how can she have balls? Hey, its early, I'm bored! =) |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:08 am     Yes, it was hillarious- Well put Kat, and nice to know ya!!! |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:10 am     Bigfan- GIRLS HAVE BALLS don't they?????? I am always bored at work, it's a good thing my DAD owns the company or I would be so GONE!!!!! |
What555456 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:11 am     I think if Dana could be more subtle and patient, she could build on what she has done. But she is like a bull in a china shop. Her emotions take over and she talks too much. She wants to act immediately in response to her emotional decisions. Once she no longer has the HOH power, she could be in big trouble, mainly because of her mouth and her oversized reactions to everything. Nate and Ali should be the next two to go. They will be if Dana can settle down. But I don't think she can. Once she loses her power tonight, she is going to be surprised at how little deference she is shown. This will anger her and she is likely to lash out -- even at her five compatriots. She may end up going next week only because she cannot be subtle and patient. |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:12 am     LOL Bigfan! Nice to meet you, too, Monkhead. My kids are 21 and 23, and they are not even remotely like the 20-something HGs...THANK GOD! Lol My 21-year old daughter watches some of the shows with me, and she usually grimaces and shakes her head at some of the self-serving remarks she hears. Thank God about that, too. Lol! I'd die if my kids were anything like Dana or Alison. |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:13 am     P.S. to BIGFAN...girls have more balls, BIGGER BALLS than most men I know!!!! You can quote me on that...:-) |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:14 am     What, I totally agree with your "bull in a china shop" assessment! If I were a betting woman, I'd guess that Dana was a playground bully as a kid. |
Kaili | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:14 am     You know, I'm the age of the younger group (more or less) and I'm not finding a lot of connection to them either- they jut aren't my crowd I guess. Of course "my crowd" consists of a few friends, family, animals, and houseplants....LOL I think it's a little odd that they only put one person in the 50+ bracket in the house with not even one person really close in age. Even Erika- who's what? 33?- isn't that close. I mean- take this one person I know. She's 36, married, amnd has a 13 year old daughter. She's basically right between 25 and 45 and she's way more on the level of a 25 year old in terms of what she likes, going out, etc. Or maybe the problem is just that I don't hang out with anyone my age.... Anyway, it's going to get harder and harder for them to get "older" people on the show. I know my parents sure wouldn't have any interest in spending their summer with a bunch of people in their 20s. |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:15 am     Monkhead: "I am always bored at work, it's a good thing my DAD owns the company or I would be so GONE!!!!!" It's a good thing my bosses golf a lot in the summer or I'd be gone, too. Lol |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:17 am     Jeez Kat my daughters are 20 and 24!!! They both watch occasionally and totally shake their heads in discust at the others. I too, would die if my kids were like Alison or Dana. No chance of that EVER!!!!!!! By the way...I had my girls very very YOUNG!!!!! lol |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:18 am     Kaili, I just turned 50 a month ago ( ), and I guarantee ya that nobody could pay me enough to be on BB. Lol I could not stomach being around some of these HGs for too long before I'd finally explode and tell them all to grow up. I'm not normally that kind of person. Lol |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:19 am     Awwwww, darn it, Monkhead! I just gave my age away! Otherwise, I would have told you that we have a lot in common about having our kids at a VERY young age. Lololol |
Monkhead | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:20 am     I bet you would like my daughters, Kaili....Let's just say it's a feeling I have...:-) Their names are Marissa and Lindsay. Two Monkheads!! |
P_Gunslinger | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:20 am     Frankly, I don't think Dana thought her nominations through. She has lost the trust (in truth, did she ever have it?) of not only her original alliance but of the Little Rascal's (with apologies to Bunny for borrowing her latest name for Jee and the gang), too. However, even though not a single hamster trusts Dana, there is a very good chance she will be carried along as dead weight. By alienating herself from both sides (even though there are several splinter cells with in the two sides), she has, as Erika put it in one of her DR sessions, blown the money away. Dana will make it to the final two, but no one will vote for her to win, no matter who she's paired up with. |
