Dana was the real winner of BB4
Sugar | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 03:47 pm     Dana has several weeks at what certainly appears to be a beautiful resort, one of those weeks in peaceful solitude. Would only eat PB&J by choice. Now has the company of people who also dislike, nay despise, her arch nemesis, Alison the Evil. Enjoys Justin, quite likely in multiple manners, swimming, conversation, kissin' and such. Books and video are available. I suspect the ousted/sequestered BB4 people also receive a stipend of sorts, probably higher than normal jury duty compensation. The pressure of game planning & strategizing a thing of the past. Becomes part of the power awarding the Big $$$. I say CONGRATS DANA!!!! You Go Girl!! |
Jdel | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 03:51 pm     and there isn't a day that goes by that the current players don't bring her up in one way or another - so she still lives on in the BB house. Really hoping the Ali gets to go to the other house and spending some time with Dana - and they tape it for us to see |
Bonzacat | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 03:55 pm     Big Brother 4 Sequestration = The ULTIMATE Jury Duty! |
C1mag | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:15 pm     She'd give all that up to still be in the game. No matter how she spins it Alison will always be able to say she beat her at the game she loved so much. Alison personally walked her to the door. No dollar amount will ever take that away and it will eat at an obsessive compulsive thinker like Dana. In regard to Justin... Ali had him first so Dana is messing with sloppy seconds. Dana is but one lone vote to hand out money that she would have loved to have. Convincing yourself that it's all cool cause you made it to the jury where you were still locked away doesn't ever change the fact that she lost the game and she blew it all on her own and her "arch enemy" came much closer to taking the big bucks. No big winner here. Just a petty sore loser that let it all get to her and let it ruin her chances. This will remain with her for a lifetime. It's sorta like the loser at a beauty pageant. " I made wonderful lifetime friends" Yeah right! No honey you lost and you lost all on your own. |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:18 pm     Dana is not the winner. Her dream was to win BB, and she didn't even come close. Who cares about the jury house, Justin, etc. She came there to win the game and she failed. Badly. |
Sugar | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:29 pm     Whoa! Not a Dana fan obviously. Only 1 of the BB4 cast will win the big $, and they all wanted it. Sloppy seconds is a rather rude way to think of another person. Most people date more than one person in their lifetimes. Justin and Alison were no longer dating, no one in the BB4 house was responsible for that. Petty sore loser? Dana didn't write this, I did, no idea how petty any one of the players may be, no one involved wanted to lose $500,000.00, they all hoped to win. Pretty much anyone evicted in this game was evicted in response to some action they took or didn't take and occasionally luck. |
Wendo | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:29 pm     Yeah, I agree with C1mag. How getting yourself evicted and losing an opportunity to win half a million dollars makes one a "real winner" is beyond me. |
R151996 | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:39 pm     Dana's response to this thread's title could be only one thing--"WTF". |
Puzzled | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:40 pm     Don't think she's a "real winner," but if you don't win, being the first jury member evicted is the next best thing. |
Rainwoman | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:42 pm     I only have one thing to say about Dana.
 |
Meggieprice | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:43 pm     Sequstered HG, according to what was siad in the house, get the same $750 a week as those in the house do- so Dana will get just as much as 3rd place. So compared to the other jury members perhaps she does have an edge in having the plush surroundings and the same money. Compared to the F2- no way! |
Happycamper | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:48 pm     Can someone clear up the prize amounts for me...? I know first place gets the 500 Jee's... What do second and third place get. I thought second got 50 Jee's...but then read somewhere else is was more... Is there a cash prize for third place? |
R151996 | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:53 pm     Second prize is $50K. Third place only got a prize in BB1 when the three prizes were $500K, $100K, and $50K. IMO if cash prizes are not going to be extended past second place, then the stipend for HGs still in the game should be higher than for those being sequestered. |
Cricket | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 04:55 pm     C1mag, you may be right, but no matter how Ali spins it, SHE would rather be the one with Justin. She is far from over him and to have him falling all over Dana must just kill her. LOL @ Bonza...yeah...where do I sign up??? Sugar, you are right in a way because Dana's also getting paid to have all this fun. It still boggles my mind what Justin sees in her, but I've never seen him as a great prize anyway. Thought he was cute at first, but he's not top drawer. I'd go for Nate over him any day. Ali should have done that, lol. Nate even said he'd like to snuggle with her. I bet he will vote for her at the end, even after everything she did to him. |
C1mag | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 05:14 pm     If Dana is grasping at straws she would have to say that victory was achieved in this manner as Sugar as suggested. The reality still remains Ali walked her to the door and beat her at the game she loved. All the rest is just coating for a bruised ego including Justin as a side prize and I'm laughing at the idea on that one. Remaining in the game at this point is much better than sitting at some sequestered house b!tching about losing the game. We don't know for sure if the stipen is equal for those out of the game vs those still in the game. My understanding is that if you make the jury you get 10,000 but the stipen ends the day you get booted so if you stay in you get more plus the 10,000. the only "alleged" also ran gift you get this time around is a quiet island with all the other losers with still very little outside connections with family and friends. Everyday you are reminded that you didn't make it to the end of the game which was your real goal. Not sitting at loser island and not the very first one at that. Again if you want to coat it for a bruised ego you're gonna stretch it a bit but you still walk away as the first Jury member booted from the game and in the case booted by the one person you disliked the most. Still doesn't seem to have winner written all over it. |
Onlyhuman | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 05:30 pm     First off, do I think that Dana is the real winner? No, of course not. The real winners are going to be the 1st and second place finishers. Dana esssentially took 3rd place in this mess. They all get 750/week stipend, which works out to about $10,000 for anyone who reached sequestering. If you finish in the top two, you don't get your stipend. Dana will get the same amount of money as all the 3rd-9th place finishers. She will have gotten a long, relaxing vacation with plenty of personal entertainment thrown into the mix. Do I think that Dana would trade that for a shot at the money right now? Heck, yeah, they all would. She will NOT consider herself a winner. Do I think, though that she is wallowing in her misery right now? I sincerely doubt it! A better title for this thread might be "Will Dana get the last laugh on Ali?" If Ali walks away from this with nothing more than the stipend, a week watching her ex (whom she is clearly not over) fool around with her "enemy", and the knowledge that she got played out of the game by ROBERT, of all people, then yeah, I'd say Dana will get the last laugh. BTW, not that I want to steer this thread off topic, but why are the people still in the house so freaking obsessed with Dana? They mention her over and over and over again. She was in there for such a short time, you'd think they'd be over it by now. And they say she is bitter??? I just don't get all of the hatred. |
Beruthiel | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 05:35 pm     I'd guess it's because she polarised the house into two factions very early on, and all the two-sided tension since can be laid squarely at her door. IIRC, during her reign she wouldn't even tolerate 'her side' talking to 'the other side.' She made the house h*ll, and even her dream team wasn't averse to her leaving. |
C1mag | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 05:35 pm     I don't see how Dana would ever get the last laugh if Ali goes at this point. Ali personally defeated Dana. That will never change. A year from now when Justin has dated at least a dozen women the idea that he was a prize to make someone jealous will be laughable. Ali literally took Danas dreams of winning this game away. No one else did it but Ali. That will stick with Dana for a lifetime. Justin will be nothing but "just another dude" The reason they are mentioning her right now is because she was on the screen last night. Is Dana bitter? Heck yeah we've seen cuts of her still pissed at even watching Ali in the game. |
C1mag | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 05:38 pm     Not forgetting that when Dana gets home she's gonna get to watch and hear the entire house including her dear dreamteam buddys call her all kinds of names including "psychob!tch" Yeah she's gonna walk away from this a real winner. NOT! Coating it is just to pacify a very bruised ego. I'd much rather deal with being called a liar and a backstabber than the house psycho only to find out that every person in the house wanted you out because they thought you were more psycho than Scott. |
Lorry | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 01:11 pm     IMO, Dana was the "Winner" all the way! Dana is pretty, certainly in excellent shape, witty, and she certainly was entertaining. She left early, and of course she wanted to stay.... instead she got an awesome vacation, seems to have been keeping in excellent shape, and her relationship with Justin might lead to more than just this lovely love affair they are sharing. I think Justin is quite good looking, certainly has a wonderful personality, and it appears he sincerely likes Dana and has stated he hopes it continues outside the house. She really is the winner. Other than what those that wanted her out of the house had to say about her.... she appears to have come out of it all as a rather nice lady. I don't care about tearing people apart... we all have our faults.... I liked Dana and I liked the fact that she played the game her way. She was the ONLY HG to cause any real excitement or to shake things up as per the game itself. I think Ali and Dana will rise to the occasion and consider what went on in the game as just that, part of a game.... As for her comments... BB asked her comment, and we all know how they like to keep things going.... Dana was simply making a statement.... and it was not shocking or nasty or even mean... it was just how she felt. I think of all the HGs... I respect Dana's upfront attitude the most. She played the game... she did not get far... but what she did achieve... makes her the real winner.... All the bad talk about Dana, or any of the HGs is pure "sour grapes". When do these people (the HGs) get any kind of thank you for the entertainment they have given us? Why do we choose to look only for the bad and overlook anything that smacks of the good? Kudos to all the HGs... each and every one of them deserve our gratitude for sharing this experiment (game) they agreed to be on. |
Sugar | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 03:28 pm     Gosh sakes, I come out of lurkdom and spark a Bit-O-Controversy or at least conversation of opposite opinions. I love the wonderful diversity of people, even if they don't agree with me Personally, about the time Dana and Nate left that house, I'd have been ready to sell my car, my jewels, my stock and the clothes off my back to get out of there. I would have made even more $ when I was paid to put the clothes back on my back! The long odds of winning a monetary prize just not worth it to me. I'd much rather have the sequestered vacation. I enjoyed Dana's upfront attitude, no it didn't take her far in this game and Ali trumped when she stayed longer than Dana, but I think Dana got some great "winning" compensation. I agree Lorry, we should thank them all for being willing to entertain us and I hope they can handle the horrid things that they will see and hear when watching the shows and reading the boards and be proud of the good times. |
Maris | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 03:41 pm     I dont know if Dana was the real winner but if I had been in that house and it was obvious that I wasnt going to win the whole prize, I would definitely want to get evicted as the first person on the jury. No more PB&J and having to earn my food. Plenty of books, movies an daquaris on the beach, not to mention jet skiing and lots of other fun things. So all in all, its better to be evicted early on so you can get the full advantage of the paid vacation. The one who really gets screwed is the last evictee before the final two. Imagine all that time in the house and you end up in a motel six in LA for a few nights. I would definitely rather be in Dana and Nathans shoes |
Sreed1234 | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 03:44 pm     I believe they've said in the house that everyone who made it to the jury would receive $10,000 for their stipend for the entire period. So, for the first 4 weeks, they received $3,000 ($750 a week) and now they'll receive another $10,000. All total, they will receive $13,000 for 3 months of work. |
Earthmother | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Hahahahahha...she's a winner all right!!!! |
Bondmaiden | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:04 pm     You will never be able to sell Dana to me. She was a walking nightmare. |
