Thank you Philamom. I have never heard those terms.

If manscaping is cutting and shaping chest hair, what is called when the hair is totally removed - a al Nate? Womanscaping?

"Comb-over" is also known in some circles as "overseas investment"

I really hope that Robert doesn't win America's choice. I just know that he would let it go to his head. He would think that his winning meant that America loved him.

Catkey... well, it's not word for word but that's what I said too.

It would be doubly devastating to Robert now because the whole house is convinced it's him and if he doesn't get it, watch for more drama...

I've cancelled my votes for Robert with votes for others .. after this afternoon's performance and hearing Erika wanting to dump Jack to save herself and ally with Jee and Robert (if it comes to that..) I'm almost finished this year.

She suggested that if jack and jee could go she and Robert could boot out Jun and Ali.. Robert was horrified and said no way would he consider a plan that dumped Jee.

Disgusting, both of them.

Well, they just went to FOTH. Haven't they usually let us watch the America's Choice?

I just realized that it will not make any difference what our votes add up to. We have no idea what the vote counts were. There was no feedback like one usually gets with internet polls.

Arnie will give the AC to whomever will make the best TV - from his point of view.

Yes, we have seen the AC presentation live every other year.

At least this year no one is out any money for phone charges if the result actually is being fixed by the producers.

I am not surprised. The TV editing has been pro Robert from the start. I am begining to wonder if Robert has something on Arnie.

BTW: My votebot cast just under 40,000 votes for Jack in 11 hours.

If you click on the link that is in the second archive from the top you can still vote. LOL
Can't get to it from the BB home page...only through that backdoor link.

We can hope the letter goes something like this...
Dear Daddy,
Please stop picking your nose, it is embarrasing! You are now known as the Boogey man all over the internet!
Also do all the bad things you say about women apply to me too?
Love,
your daughter

Four cameras on one guy crying. Ugh!

The one positive about Robert getting the AC is that is highlights how crappy he has treated the rest of the majority of the house...and yet they are being really supportive of him and telling him they are glad that he got it. They are so generous and he has been such an <LC>. I hope it makes him rethink the way he is conducting himself. However, having said that, I doubt it. Robert doesn't strike me as being very self reflective.

You all sound like a bunch of <LC>. Obviously the one you wanted to win America's Choice didn't win. Oh well, Robert is going this Wednesday so you'll all be very happy then.

I knew Robert would win, despite his poor behavior. He is the only person in the house with a young child that he has shown genuine feelings for. I can't stand that he breathes the same air as me, but I voted for his daughter to hear from her daddy, and held my nose the whole time.

Spwisc - I was complaining that there were several groups of talking folks in the house - bb instead chooses to show someone alone and crying. I may not like Robert, but I'm fine with him winning America's choice. I was complaining because 1 - Robert is completely alone, there is nothing to learn by watching him crying, it only invades his privacy for no reason. 2 - I don't like intruding on people crying, 3- I'm missing ACTUAL coversations. If some folks want to watch him crying all alone, then BB should show him on one feed, not all four.

I'm not sure why this makes me a <LC>.

I don't think Robert is going Wednesday and I'm not a (whatever got moderated) because I didn't want him to win AC. He is not a nice person and didn't deserve it.

Charvie, I don't think his little girl gets to hear from him does she? I thought he got a letter from her.

BB does edit him to appear a lot nicer than he really is. Why don't they show both sides of him?

Unless someone goes completely over the top (like Nicole, and even then in moderation), BB never shows all the dirty linen. They need to (within a context of creating "plots" out of the material the HGs create make heroes and villains, but like soap operas, showing that there is good and bad in everyone. It makes more sense for the drama of the show that way.
As well, for this show but also for the whole genre of reality contests, they need to not scare off potential contestants in the future. Yes, the feeds are pretty harsh, but they only get to a small number of people.
I don't care for Robert, but I don't have a problem with America's Choice this week. Even if they don't talk, she will get to see him reading the letter, and reacting to it. And it is not a bad thing to be more concerned about her than any deprivation the rest of the HGs feel from being out of touch. They made that choice, they get a potential big payoff.

I just hope Robert don't get the wrong impression that America is rooting for him. I hope he understands he got it because of his little girl.
I hope by some miracle the letter will change Robert at least a little. I'm trying to like the guy but he makes it so darn hard. Very happy for his little girl though. :)

Robert won it?! I think a video rather than a letter would have been better. That would really get the tears flowing LOL
I wish they'd have AC every week.
