Spear | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:32 pm     (Sorry if this has been discussed in another thread.) The LFP at 6:18PM says:
Quote:Rob says this is the same house as BB1? Erika says Yes. He says trhats funny that she is living in the same house as "him"...he hasn't told anyone yet...ya know. She says ya...she knows.
Erika has previously referred to a "JA". Early this season, she even arranged some magnets on the fridge to spell something like "(heart) JA". There is discussion on BBChatter that says that Erika's JA is Josh Souza. If you follow the link to Josh's web site he answers some questions (not related to BB4):
Quote:What does J.A. stand for? - Stacy My middle name is Adam and someone in my family a long time ago called me J.A. The name stuck and now no one in my family calls me Josh, except for my dad who still calls me Joshua. All of my friends call me Souza. So I guess Stacey the only people to call me Josh are those who I've recently met.
Some people there also think Erika is the person who's obscured in this picture of Josh. |
Spear | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:55 pm     Ugh, I feel stupid not reading the "Did you see ..." thread. Mods, feel free to delete this thread. |
Bohawkins | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:55 pm     On his website Josh mentions someone with the last name of Landin as one of the producers of a tv talk show he is trying to develop. That's quite a coinkydink. |
Seamonkey | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:56 pm     Wow, could be! They seem so different! Not that that is bad.. I did kind of hear that convo and this would make some sense... |
Seamonkey | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:58 pm     Is the number 55 significant to Josh?? Thinking of her 55 shirt. |
Kmjm | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:58 pm     Ok there are several threads that have this buzz on them. We have to get to the bottom of this. Is it true? |
Crossfire | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:59 pm     Check out the detective work done by some TVCH'rs in the Did you see thread, we have actually developed this meme quite a bit further. We have a couple of archives worth of highly coincidental evidence all pointing at one thing. |
Crossfire | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:00 pm     My crystal ball says >99% sure. |
Myjohnhenry | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:06 pm     Erika was one of the executive producers of "Josh on the Road" http://www.steelcityfilms.com/images/scp-joshroad1.mov |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:23 pm     Thanks Myjohnhenry! I got the movie and checked the credits...She is definitley listed as a producer!
 |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:26 pm     Well, *I* am convinced! Erika most definitely has TV industry connections.....which is probably one of the reasons that Robert hates her so much....SHE has all the connections that he wishes HE really had! Add this fact to the bf named "JA" which are Josh's initials...it has to be true! |
Hamsterlady | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:26 pm     Thanks Myjohnhenry. It was nice to see Josh in action again. Hmmm, Executive Producer Erika Landin. |
Haerpino | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 11:53 pm     Check out this photo too: http://www.joshsouzaonline.com/joshcalifornia.jpg That woman on his back looks a lot Erika to me.. |
Wendo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:02 am     Here's a pic. It's definitely her. (Pic from BBChatter.com)
 |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:06 am     Here's a pic I had but hadn't looked at in years
 |
Crossfire | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:08 am     Time for a banner. We finally have something to say.  |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:08 am     one more (a closer version of that picture linked above):
 |
Crossfire | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:10 am     I am a little peeved that I was looking at that pic (small version) earlier and did not make the connection. I am the worse when it comes to remembering a face. |
Phoebemonica28 | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:12 am     Wow! This is so cool? So, how long have they been together? And has anyone figured out what the 55 on Erika's shirt means? (Really, it's kind of too bad the show didn't publicize this connection; I actually think it could have drawn in some viewers who were fans of Josh, to see how his girlfriend was doing.) Great detective work, everyone!! |
Wendo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:13 am     I'm posting part of post here because I think it's relevent: I think this revelation may hurt Josh. He's publishing his summaries under the guise that he's impartial. He should've disclosed from the beginning that he knows Erika. Additionally, I agree that his summaries do seem biased in favor of Erika. He may be trying to be impartial, but if they are dating, that can be difficult. Had he disclosed it upfront, it would've been better. Now, imo, he loses credibility. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:15 am     Crossfire - When I saw the smaller version of that picture, I immediately noted the PINK bikini! That's why I went looking through my old pix because I'd remembered d/l that particular gallery of beach pix from his official website. Btw, I d/l these pix in July of 2002....so they must have been together for at least a year! |
Spear | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:33 am     Agreed Wendo, although he's probably happy about the extra traffic his web site is seeing! I know I spent a few minutes scouring it for more clues. Thanks for the pics SFJF! It doesn't look like they're on Josh's web site any more. Did you ever imagine you'd find a(nother) use for them? |
Kmjm | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:35 am     Wow- if this is true it's an amazing twist (Not AS inspired) - I loved Josh from BB1 and was so disappointed when he and Brit were separated. |
Hamsterville | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:35 am     How do we know that they are not just friends? Isn't Josh gay or is my gaydar seriously broken? |
Wendo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:37 am     Again, Josh removing the pictures of Erika and him is another example of him purposefully hiding his relationship with Erika. (Whether it's personal or not doesn't matter, imo.) He's actively hiding the fact they know each other. Honestly, I don't know why he would've chosen to do this. I think he would've gotten more traffic and interest in his summaries if he had stated that he knew one of the contestants. He wouldn't even have needed to disclose what kind of relationship it was. Only that he does know Erika. |
