Clipped from live feeds from last night:

Robert telling Justin they are alot alike. In America people think getting married and having kids is the way to live but that isn't true. He doesn't regret getting married, she is beautiful and nice but the divorce just sucks to go through.

Jee walks in and asks what they are talking about. Robert tells them divorce. Something Jee will never go through. Robert says he will not marry a broke bi*ch. If he does it again she needs to have money.

Justin tells him he should be picky next time.

Ro: 90% of people, even people out there (points to living room) settle. I'll never do that. What keeps a woman is sex and money. Love has nothing to do with it. You want a woman you have to pay for it. They just want money, the bi*ches I want I'll have to pay for. I don't want a w*ore, I want a slamming girl I have to pay for (ed. is he for real??)

Comments? I'll start...I hate this guy!

Like Erika said last night, " He's like a used car salesperson. He's used but knows how to sell himself."

<M>!!!

Ya, I'm sure those are the rules he'll apply to the boys who want to marry his daughter. My dad would eat Robert for breakfast and pick his teeth with his bones right before moving on to a real meal. He's <M>, and his karma will bring him many negative returns whether he wins this competition or not.

It certainly explains why he is divorced.

I think it sounds like he got hurt badly and this is his bitter macho response. Too bad he doesn't realize it can only make him more unhappy.

I always found his rants against Erika went against normal limits. He seems to be campaigning to get the others to dislike Erika as much as he does. This isn't being shown on the tv show, instead we get this little piece about brave Robert fighting alcoholism, and everybody at home goes awww, poor Robert.

It was a pathetic statement from a <M> man...

I was thinking about these younger guys listening to this stuff...Jee especially seems impressionable. It occurs to me that Robert proves what I've heard around AA for years...sometimes when you sober up a drunken <M>, you just end up with a sober <M>.

Psycholigist Corriecat at work!!! You're probably absolutely right Corriecat! (Miz gives Corriecat some catnip!)

Cablejockey I think the editing did go in Roberts favor last night. They'll show his other side I'm sure!! It'll creep out...just like Robert is <M>!!! LOL

Robert is just so wrong, on so many levels. <Moderated>

Robert had better win BB4 and get himself some money so he can snag himself a woman. He certainly isn't going to win anyone over with his glowing personality (or lack thereof).

Bracken, you forgot the etiquette lessons and a big box of Kleenex (with instructions on use, of course).

I said this early in the show, and I'll say it again... I would love to have Robert alone for a night. Either that man would come out with completely changed attitudes about women, or he would be talking with a voice a couple of octaves higher.

I don't know if Robert is a true misogynist, but he is definitely sexist. What I hope is that he adjusts his attitude before his daughter grows up. I don't know what that type of attitude would do to a growing girl, but I can't imagine it would be that good.

Miz, the editing last night did make me blink several times and wonder if I should have my hearing checked. The first thing that popped into my head was America's Choice. That it would be a phone call and BB wants Robert to win. A phone call between a father and his 7-year daughter could be edited into "good TV" as the hamsters keep saying. I admit Donny telling Ali what he thinks of her behavior would be better TV, but AC is supposed to be a reward, not a 1-800 trip to hell.

Some wouldn't stop for a second to say they hate a guy who says "I want a very sexy women with this or that physical attribute, etc" but they won't blink twice at a woman who says she wants a rich man.

Double standard? Yes.

You know the old saying, "Never love for money, just love where money is".

Laisey....good point...I forgot all about the "America's Choice".

Ohhhhhhhh I never thought about Donny's reaction to Allison!! That would be priceless!! LOL

The brain is the sexiest and most vital organ in the human body, <M> that he can't acknowledge that women have anything going for them other than external attributes.

OI, the double standard may exist, but as a woman, I don't think much of women who want a man for his money either. They give the rest of us a bad name.

Ocean Islands-- I don't think it's a double standard, at least it's not for me. I'm disgusted with women who want a "rich man". I don't think it's acceptable either way.

Just my

OI, I'm not sure if it's a double standard or more of a cummulative effect. When Robert talked about always cheating on women on the first show, that comment has stayed with me and each additional comment has just increased the total amount of manure I have mentally piled on him. If it were not for the background comments he has made about women, I probably would have paid little or no attention to this one.

OOh, I didn't think what I said was naughty! Sorry!

I didn't find it offensive Beruthiel but I guess some others might??

MizD gives Beruthiel a pat on the back! It's all good!

Beruthial, no problem. I am just trying to keep this thread from escalating into bashing & having to be pulled.

Oh, okay. Phew! Thanks for replying, and of course you're perfectly right.
