Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:19 am     Scorpiomoon - No....Josh never said he was gay. From what I remember, there was a BB-UK Josh that came out of the closet and when he did, there was a lot of confusion because some people thought the story was about BB-USA's Josh....but it wasn't. |
Crossfire | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:20 am     Heh, earlier I tried using the internet wayback machine to get at a cached version. The earliest I could find was 2002, but there was no useful dirt on the page that was cached. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:21 am     Xarph - Huh? I don't mind at all! If anything, my view of Erika has gone up! If Josh likes her she can't be all that bad! |
Onlyhuman | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:23 am     Wendo, do you think it's the fact that only a limited pool are applying or is it the fact that they only want a certain "type" and so they have to go back to this particular pool to find that "type"? I know tons of people who have applied to TAR and Survivor and have never gotten a call back. These are intelligent, funny people, but they don't fit the mold these others come from since they aren't hard bodies with dreams of stardom. They just want adventure and challenge. I may just be bitter because I just found out that 2 of the three teams in the finale of TAR were recruited (and, what a coincidence, both were handsome male teams!) And yeah, Josh's summaries were definitely not impartial. When I first read this a few weeks ago... Quote:Every home should be so blessed to have a beautiful, intelligent woman like Erika looking after it. Then again, she looks like the type of woman that would have me cleaning the house for good. And somewhere down the line, I know I'd be doing it with a grin on my face 'cause she'd make me like it.
my eyebrows were raised, but I just figured there was a little crushing going on. Now that I look at it again, the lack of impartiality is glaring. |
Twinkie | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:31 am     How about Toni (bug-eyes) being on both Love Cruise and Paradise Island? Must be a small pool for all of the reality shows. |
Wendo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:32 am     Onlyhuman said, "do you think it's the fact that only a limited pool are applying or is it the fact that they only want a certain "type" and so they have to go back to this particular pool to find that "type"?" Hmmm, that's a good question. I would say, it's a combination of both. Occasionaly you do see regular people on reality shows; those we consider "like us". I think Survivor is the best at accomplishing this. But, yes, I would agree that they're also looking for a certain type as well. Re: About Josh's summaries. See, that quote alone shows how impartial he is. Additionally, he's intentionally giving the impression he doesn't know her by saying, "she looks like the type of woman that would have me cleaning the house for good." When, as we now know, he knows her. I think he made a bad choice in not being upfront about it from the beginning. How can we take his summaries (which include analysis) seriously when he has a relationship with one of the contestants? Poor journalistic choice. |
Crossfire | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:33 am     One or two of the Josh's have done some dating shows as well if my memory serves correctly. |
Wendo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:33 am     Josh from BB3 did Blind Date Cross. |
Xarph | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:35 am     I agree, SFJF. My impression of Erika goes up when I think of Josh as her BF. I was very impressed with Josh in BB1. He seemed to be a real standup guy. the kind of guy you would want covering your back. That being said, I am disappointed with the idea that he is commenting on Erika without noting his relationship with her. |
Onlyhuman | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:38 am     Okay, I'll admit it, it does NOT make my impression of Erika go up. I didn't like Josh on BB1 (sorry SFJF) so I'm not impressed with her choice in men. Though he's a million times better than Robert, but that's not saying much... |
Scorpiomoon | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 01:41 am     Thanks for the clarification, SanFran. I was perplexed. |
Costacat | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 08:56 am     Tobor:
Quote:Watch... this Josh thing will backfire big time. And if she was on a payroll for a show that MAY have some financial ties to CBS or ?? then there may be some other legal issues... remember "employees and their families" clauses!
The clause asks if you or your family are or have been employed by... It does not ask if your current BF or live-in lover is or was. If Josh and Erika are indeed an "item," good for them! If Erika applied because Josh was on BB1, I don't think it really matters all that much. But if Josh is intentionally concealing his relationship with Erika, I think that goes to the truth in journalism issue, and *that* is one issue with which I'm not happy. General consensus in the media these days is to reveal a connection, no matter how vague, so that no favoritism can be implied (or construed). Then again, writing for a reality Web site probably has it's own specific set of rules! <wink> |
Cliotheleo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 09:02 am     That's right Costa. As much as I like Josh, I think calling him a JOURNALIST is a bit of a stretch. |
Ladytex | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 09:12 am     Just because someone has a website and posts their writings on it, that doesn't make them a journalist. And if you have your own website, you can put anything legal on it that you want to. |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:49 am     While I'm really interested that Erika may be dating Josh from BB1, it doesn't bother me that she wants to keep it quiet, and so does he. It really has nothing to do with anyone else, it's their private life, and doesn't necessarily indicate anything nefarious going on. We all know that the reality TV business is very incestuous and that many competitors have connections to each other via relatives and locations, it seems to be the name of the game. I recall eons ago when I worked for a government ministry, how every aspect of anyone's private life ended up being gossip fodder, once it became known-especially anything of a romantic nature. Some colleagues of mine began to behave a little differently, and I guessed that they were an item, but didn't say anything, since I respected their privacy. In time, they became engaged, and the girl involved quit her job, so that she wouldn't have to put up with the nosey parkers. They were both very grateful that I kept my mouth shut. This Josh/Erika thing is probably just the same-who wants their life to be part of tabloid news? While I never thought Josh was a hunk, he was always a very nice guy, and I credit Erika for moving on up after Robert! Good luck to both of them. |
Konamouse | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:53 pm     When I look at the photos of Josh and Erika, I see professional modeling in the poses and the photography. They are both models. Could they have met on a photo shoot? And these pictures were from that same set?? 'squeek' |
Mouse | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:56 pm     Sorry to change the subject for a sec. Did anyone hear Ali and Jun talking about evicting Erica and keeping Robert next week? I wanted to smack them and almost left in disgust. |
Pengoh | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:00 pm     Heard that too mouse, made me want to smack em too ;) Don't know if they're just being paranoid for the moment or what! Ali might be thinking she can't beat Erika in the finals.. but she can't beat Rob either I don't think! Jun is trying to calm her down so let's hope that works... |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:02 pm     I'm hoping it's just a "momentary lapse of reason" |
Mouse | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:03 pm     I heard Jun agreeing with her but, I am hoping she is lying to calm her down, too. If they aren't carefull, Rob will win this game. That would be the worst! |
Meggieprice | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:36 pm     I did not hear this but I feared it- since the final three HOH usually starts with endurance and Robert is weak, it makes sense that they would get rid of Erika, who is strong, feeling sure they can beat him and end up in the final two. ACK! Erika needs to win the next HOH and I think she knows it. Go-Erika-Go! |
Jazzzy | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:11 am     but you have to remember, Allie has joined every alliance there is. I think shes got one with everybody left. not bad for someone who didn't apply. |
R151996 | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:48 am     The final HOH last year started with endurance, but last year there were only two days between the last two evictions. This year there should be a full week like the original schedule from two years ago unless an eviction is delayed. Two years ago the last endurance HOH was in the final four when Hardy could not compete and Will, Nicole, and Monica played the key grab game on the bed. The 3-part HOH two years ago had all three HGs competing in the first two parts and went like this: Part 1--Similar to last year's final four HOH where the evicted HGs used words to describe one of the remaining HGs. This part was completed on Hardy's live Thursday eviction show. Part 2--Similar to last year's final HOH part 2 with numerous tasks to perform around the house. This was included in the never-aired 9/11 episode. Will and Nicole advanced to Part 3. Part 3--Questions about events in the house answered on whiteboard. Originally scheduled for the 9/13 live show that was taped and aired later. Nicole won and evicted Monica. With the change in this year's schedule, I would not be surprised to see an endurance HOH this Wednesday night. |
Zachsmom | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:50 am     I hope so R! Erika can kick butt in endurance! |
Gina8642 | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 11:20 am     I thought final HOH last year was the endurance comp in the water tank. The second to last HOH was the three parter. |
