Can't anyone make a head of household nomination speech that doesn't use the phrases "It's nothing personal", "it's just strategy", "I like you, but I had to nominate someone", etc?

Damn! When you say "I hate <insert name>" behind closed doors, have some balls to at least avoid saying "It's nothing personal" in front of everyone else.

At least Ali said Jun was nominated because she didn't want Jun to get POV and take Dana off and she didn't want Jun to be able to vote for Dana. I haven't heard that one since BB2 or BB3. So, Ali was originial for this season.

Ali said "Its not personal, well yes it is, it is personal, its strategy, you came after me so I have to come after you" when addressing Dana.

She caught herself saying the cliche and corrected herself.

What I thought was really funny was after the HOH competition when Ali hugged Dana (obviously for the camera benefit) but Dana had to choke on that LOL.

Here's what i'd like to hear we'll use this week for example:

Ali: Dana you are a total control freak B****. I can't stand you. You make me want to vomit. Jun you need to realize that the world, nor this house revolves around you. I was blessed enough to get HOH this week and with all that is in me I wish it wasn't up to a vote and I could just kick you both out now. But since that can't happen. I have nominated you Jun and you Dana.

This was really much easier than I thought it would be, because there are two of you who I really want to get rid of.

<Blank> I nominated you because I can't stand watching you digging boogers out of your nose.

<Blank> I nominated you I don't like you or your whining.

Wills, obviously that wouldn't make sense since Jun and Dana both could be on the jury deciding if
Allison should get $500,000. That is all part of the equation in making these speeches.

Seanflynn--Dana wouldn't vote for Ali in a million years, and no one else likes her, so what difference does it make?

Willsbills

But I guess I was thinking from the view of Ali not expecting their vote anyway. I guess I was think I can't see her getting either of their votes if she was up against anyone else in the house. Dana is going to hold this grudge and I don't see her letting it go regardless of how many sorry's Ali throws out there. And I see Jun as a person that would vote for the person most likely to give her a little something if they win. Though they aren't supposed to make deals the person has every right to buy someone a car or whatever with the money and I see Jun as the type of person that would be thinking like that. Also, one last thing. I just speak my mind and at this point would probably just say it. Might be a bad game move but also Dana was the one saying she does what no one else has the balls to so that would be like saying oh yeah? Just a thought. Who knows?:)

My comment about what Allison in this case should say had more to do with Jun's potential vote than Dana's, although stranger things have happened than Dana voting for Allison in the BB/Survivor world

I think it would depend on who Ali was standing beside at the end.

Where the idea that Jun would expect a kickback for her vote came from puzzles me, but.. oh well.

From what I saw, Ali told Jun she wouldn't put her on the block if Jun would promise not to put Ali on the block and Jun made sure that wasn't a package deal with Nate. So I think that was why Jun was mildly surprised that she was up.

But certainly now isn't the time for gratuitous verbal assaults since they are so aware of the jury situation. This year they have been told that the jury is sequestered and won't be seeing their diary room entries so why would anyone throw out insult when nominating?

I thought Ali's nomination comments were the best so far. No one can argue that Dana nominated Ali first and Jun is "out" as a Dana ally .

Willsbills

The comment about Jun was because I don't trust her. I think she feels she is so great that someone would be grateful for her vote. That is just how she comes across by saying things like "I'm the queen. Everyone loves me. Why wouldn't they?" It just seems she is very stuck on herself. I don't know her so maybe I'm getting the wrong idea. Again, I'm outspoken and wouldn't be expecting a vote for Jun or Dana, because if it's Ali and anyone else I can't see Jun or Dana giving Ali a vote. Let's remember the sequestered are gonna have a lot of time to brainwash each other. It will definitely be a case of them deciding who they don't want to win.

She should have said 'God told me to do it'

original no?

Think ahead guys. There can be all sorts of twists and turns in this game, and nothing's over till the width-challenged lady sings.

What if the last two remaining HGs are Ali and Nate? Or what if, unlikely but... what if a returning HG is one of the final two along with Ali. Remember last year? The HGs thought Amy didn't deserve to win cause she'd had a chance to leave the house and party on. Same thought processes could go on here by this group.

It doesn't matter if you THINK that person would NEVER vote for you EVER. If there is a small chance that you could be the lesser of two evils, then you need to be sure your bridges ain't burned (not to mix up cliches or anything!).

When Kent did his moniations he told it like it was--and got blasted by the HG's and the people here on the board.

Seems it's tough to please anyone these days.

A lot of them do indeed talk smack behind each other's backs, then complain about honesty--seems most of them woudn't know honestty if it bit them in the butt. They ask for it, and the few times they have gotten any, they get mad or whine.

I've got one how about "Dana I still have a thing for Justin and I'm jealous he's groping all over you and not me."

My favorite is when the houseguests complain that a nomination was emotional (as Ali said about Dana's nomination) and then they turn around and say their nomination is personal. In that house, it is all personal and strategy.

The houseguests are going to lie in the speeches because one of the people they are nominating will be safe and they dont want an angry person staying in the house. With BB you just never can be sure who is going.

in re: Jun's comments about herself.. I do believe they were said with deep irony.. sheesh.

*Every* person gives the same stupid speech. I just want some original thought. Or maybe don't give a speech for once just to see peoples reactions.

Maybe Dave would have done "eeny meeny miny moe"

Yes, those HOH speeches are pretty lame. But the way they do it, I think any of them could be politicians. Blowing sunshine up someone's rear and lying your head off are requirements for politicians and HOH's.

I just wish when Alli said how hard it was that she would have elaborated by saying "it was hard because I can only put 2 of you up". I'm not an Alli fan but while she was making her speech I was picturing her talking to Nate and saying she wanted to put them all up.

Wills, that's exactly what Ali should of said because Dana is a control freak b....I agree and thank you for saying what I was already thinking.

Willsbills

Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 11:13 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
You are welcome. i just think if we want to see this game be "awwwn" we're gonna have to see some better speeches. That's where the game really gets good is when people tell it like it is and do it to the person's face.

While we are on the topic of speeches I'd like some better "last words to the group" speeches. I don't want to hear "I made wonderful friends" and "I will always remember this experience". I want to hear "There is no way those evil stepsisters will win!" Survivor Christy type speeches.

So I guess Allison should have said,
"this is the nomination meeting, the two nominees are no surprise, I picked you Dana because you're a b***h, I hate you, you hate me; Jun, I picked you because you're against me and I don't like you much either and if these idiots find someway to save Dana, I'd just as soon see you go. This decision was a joy to make, and I just wish that I could see you both go, thank you".

Ouch - didn't need reminded of Christy's vote on Survivor, I'm still not *over* that, and yes I know 'it's just a game' .... but why oh why....


As far as speeches go, didn't Amy get an HOH speech that made her cry etc??

Kent gave a pretty direct one too.

Anyhow my only goal in life at this moment is to see Allie (though she's good for the game) get evicted next week so her and Dana have to spend a eek together alone. I think BB should do a poll to see who'd be willing to pay (like pay-per-view) to watch them for a day or two lol. (they'd have to offer Dana/Allie a cut I think to be fair)

Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 12:08 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Whit, I'd pay to see Ali and Dana spend a week sequestered together, lol.

I liked Ali's speech. I think she was as honest as she could be without going over the top and making everyone cringe. No matter how much I don't like someone in the house, I don't like cruelty aimed at them.
