Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 10:19 pm     Good points, guys! I couldn't help but wonder about the note. I think you put my conspiracy theory to rest. |
Spear | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 10:51 pm     Charvie, Julie said she was "quoting" not paraphrasing. |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 10:55 pm     Elms...all that may be true about Donny. But remember who told it....LOL. I know Justin told some of it too, but could be he got his info from Ali. I'm just not ready to judge somebody based on what Ali says about them. |
Woodpecke® | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:01 pm     I'm not ready to believe anything damaging about Donnie. Entirely speculation. |
Elms | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:21 pm     Monalisahi, some of what Justin said about Donny didn't come from Alison but from his own experience with the guy. For instance, Justin told Dana that Donny used to prank his house (when Justin and Ali were together) claiming that Alison was with him (Donny) in bed, when Justin knew she was off at some pageant. I don't know. That's kinda creepy to me. |
Whit4you | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:23 pm     I agree with Julie, his letter was veeeeeery ambiguous. The fact that he wasn't there though - to me spoke volumes. It's not that he couldn't take the time off from work or what have you. They've known for months when the final was. But then based on all she's said about him, the two do deserve each other. Allie is a go-getter and attractive - I am sure she'll rebound from this just fine. I do hope though that Justin and Dana make it - and are really happy... and a little part of Allie has to deal with that for a few years (then I hope she moves on.. I'm not THAT vindictive) |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:32 pm     Elms...nawwww, that's not creepy, that's kids |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:35 pm     <wrong thread> |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:44 pm     hmmmm, I thought I deleted that last post and posted it to the Jun/Bob thread. |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:45 pm     OMG, it just changed again.......MODS, are you playing with me???.....LOL |
Elms | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:47 pm     Whit4you, I don't think it's work that would have kept him from being there. More like school and football. Apparently Donny told Alison before she went into the house that he wouldn't be able to greet her when she left the BB house because of the football issue. From what I gather, college football coaches aren't the type to just let their players up and leave without a very good reason. I don't think reality tv shows rank in that category. And though part of Ali may have wanted him to be there, she said several times he probably couldn't. I think the DR even told her that because of the position Donny plays on the team, it would be a "team decision" that would decide if he could leave. It will be interesting in the days to come to learn where the Ali/Donny saga goes. |
Seanflynn2003 | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:58 pm     Re Bob being interested in Jun now that she has money: He is a finanacial analyst for a major company, always working; likely makes multiple hundred of thousands of dollars or more a year. $300,000 (what Jun is likely to net) is a good piece of change, but it doesn't go that far in NYC. To say her showed up for her money is silly. |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:00 am     $300,000 is what you pay to rent a one bedroom in NYC! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:02 am     College football coaches tend not to let a player go for many reasons. About the only one I can think of is the player's death--even then he needs a note from the mortician for the coach to really buy it. |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:11 am     I'm sure Dawnie wanted to go and see her more than anything in the world. I bet the CBS team even made a call to the coach, but he would have none of it. It would have been GREAT TV seeing Dawnie and Ali hug and kiss. Too bad for the poor viewers. Julie mis-read the note I think. I'm sure Dawnie can't wait to see her! They will have a great life together. |
Sunrisedd | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:12 am     Donnie wrote that letter 'in case' Ali won the money. |
Derby | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:15 am     I think Donnie meant nothing but the best for Ali. I really think he was sincere in his note, that he really misses her and can't wait to see her. |
Wendo | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:26 am     I wasn't surprised the Donnie wasn't there. Ali had said several days ago that he wouldn't be there because he could not leave football. He's playing college level football where he's an integral part of the team. No way would a coach let him go. As far as Donnie's intentions for Ali, well, who knows. The note was ambigous. And maybe that's a good thing. It's their relationship and nobody's business but theirs. However, I will note this, he did sign it "Love, Donnie." One can always look at the glass half full. (And remember, the note Jun received from Bob was not signed with love. And look what happened after the show.) I'd like to think that if Donnie and Ali do care for one another, well, then I wish them the best. I don't see enjoyment in wishing for people's misery. |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:33 am     I thought it was great how Alison seemed really moved by the note and was tearing up at the end. Julie sat there with a WTF look on her face and then expressed exactly what I was thinking. "What do you think of that, Alison? It sounds a little ambiguous, don't you think?" Alison said, "it's enough for me." Way to go Julie! I thought Julie was great last night and I thought this was a great interview. I loved how Alison doesn't even see what could be the true meaning. Then again I am not surprised - Alison always twists everything into a positive comment about her. If Donny really loved her, etc., I think he would have said that in his letter - "I love you with all my heart, you are such a wonderful person despite...." |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:41 am     I don't find any enjoyment in miserable people. |
Eliz87 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:24 am     I was thinking that "You never cease to amaze me" might mean something special to Ali & Donny. She really looked happy when Julie said that. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:42 am     The letter could have said: Congratulations, Princess. I'm so proud of you! After 82 days and nights of watching you on my computer, I ache for the day you come home to me and we're together at last. America was able to witness what I've known all along; you're the most beautiful, intelligent and giving person I've ever known. An inspiration to all women. Hurry home sweetie. So much to say, so many things to talk about. Before you leave, tell the houseguests what you said to Jun on Tuesday, please? It was so sweet and giving, they deserve to receive the words straight from your mouth: "I don't care about this game anymore. It's over and the cast can lick my a** crack...twice for that matter." |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:43 am     I don't think it's a meaningful phrase to them. I just Alison is not bright enough to see the possible meanings. I think all she heard was "you... amaze me". Donny thinks I'm amazing! He said "Love Donny". He DOES love me! |
Chippy | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:01 am     The a**crack licking statement was very telling IMO. That kind of stuff doesn't just come to you or fly out your mouth. LMAO, Wood... I'm with you. Miserable people! Love, Chippy |
Spyder | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:48 am     I agree with Sun-- sorry to be so cynical, but my impression was that Donnie was hedging his bets. If Ali won the $500K, he could step forward and reunite with her. If she lost, he could dump her. The letter leaves him both options. That letter is the DEFINITION of ambiguous. LOL! |
