Was it me or did some of the hg not even try to win the veto...
Gunga | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:36 pm     I mean I saw a few of the guys just standing there in the middle. What is the deal with Nathan and Allison winning the comps? Really want them 2 out as fast as possible. |
Cinder | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:48 pm     It looked to me like they did not know what to do. They probably assumed Justin would win though and so they wanted to let him. |
Cablejockey | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 08:03 pm     Maybe they are realizing as past hgs, that winning hoh and pov isn't always the smart thing to do. Didn't Will admit that he purposely didn't win hoh? Did last years winner get hoh--I can't remember? |
Stingerman | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 08:21 pm     Yep Lisa was the first HOH and she won da money. Pretty hard to lose after the way Danielle acted. Hmmm I see the same sort of theme with Dana this year. |
Bluerose | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 08:36 pm     Right Sting. This is Dani all over again. Anybody could beat Dana in the final two. This is probably why Jun and Jee want to keep her. Nobody will vote her the money. Many people might want her in finals for that very reason. |
Costacat | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 09:35 pm     I didn't think they didn't try. I think they were just more inept than they give themselves credit for being. Nathan figured out to scoop 'em off the ground instead of as they bounced... a smart move, if you ask me (and kudos to him, albeit a tad bit grudgingly). |
Ark | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 10:06 pm     Maybe it was a lot harder than it looked. I heard, twice during the competition, Dana say that she didn't see any green ones. When she said it, I could see dozens of green ones. I'm thinking that from our vantage point, the green ones were easier to see than when they were flying at the HG. I'm betting though that there was more than one person that didn't try for the POV. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 10:09 pm     Well..I have no eye-hand cordination and that would have been difficult for me to do..so I am not going to assume by seeing the show that others weren't trying..but like Ark said..I am sure 1,2 or 3 didn't even try. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 10:17 pm     Well winning HOH definately makes you a target, it's much better to let others do your dirty work. Lisa didn't win any other HOH's till the final... same with Will. Though it's alot different with this new final 7 sequestering thing. I think it's a bit safer to win HOH the first few weeks now since those who you target (if you use the pawn plan they always do...) will not be doing the voting. This game is going to get very nasty though and if one side or the other wants to stay in it they are going to have a few willing to put their necks out and win the HOH comps. Jee / Justin and Dana all know they have major targets on them so I think they will be trying hard to win HOH's... Jun, Robert, Erika, and Jack will not be trying to win them if they are smart, because everyone in the house has bigger fish to fry then them for several weeks. I personally really hope Allison doesn't win the HOH comp, but the way it's gone most the time the past two years is the person who really needs it bad wins... (like Gerry, Marc, etc...) So I'm expecting her to win, which will really be good for entertainment purposes... it'll make this show very explosive I think. I still can't believe even with them voting out two of the x's already that the x's have a fighting chance in this game still.. they've really played a good game to actually be even at this point ... much different then the 'pagonging' type thing I'd expected. It's because a few of the orignal 8 weren't stupid and realized it wouldn't be long before they had to start feeding on each other and they realized they would probably be among the first to go when they had to turn on each other... I have a feeling, based on the lack of good live feeds this year, that there is at least one other group we are not aware of... they spend way to much time not showing us certain people and I think it's because they don't want US to know about that third alliance. (Like the Hardy / MOnica / Krista one..) It's probably involving Jee / Jun and one or two others who've made a final 4 pact... Jee / Jun / Justin and Dana probably (Or it might be Jack not Dana....) THat'd be funny the 4 J's lol |
Jagger | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:13 am     after watching last nights show it looked to me like Nate was the only one who wanted to win it, or the only one that had enough brains to pick them up off the ground. I think Justin may have picked up on that idea also but too late. |
Bbfanatic | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:33 am     i thought it was hilarious. i would have got dizzy with all of the balls bouncing around me. i believe some of them didnt try, but that may be part of their stategy. |
Minnyace01 | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:39 am     This is an interesting topic because after losing one of the competitions, the losing houseguest almost always says that they weren't trying to win it. I disagree with this. I believe that very, very few houseguests go into a competition with the intention of losing it. The only one that I believe did this was Will, and there is only one Will. Most of these people do try, but aren't quickwitted enough or sharp enough to win the competitions. Just MHO. |
