Mssheila | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 04:57 pm     Hi guys- I'm trying this again. I would like to know how everyone thinks America will treat Ali when she comes back to the real world. Do you think she will receive a warm reception? Do you think that she will face a lot of critisism? Violence, as many have threatened? What do you think will be Ali's REACTION to these situations. PLEASE... lets try to keep this thread on topic, no Ali bashing.... I really would like this topic to stay, so I can read your opinions, there are other threads that have plenty of bashing, lets try to be objective here.... |
Spunky | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 05:05 pm     She will have her 15 minute fame and then will be forgotten as many other contestants did before her. She's only 23 and hopefully she'll improve with age. As for me, after Wednesday, I won't have to think about this BB anymore and I'll start tape over my BB tapes... |
Chippy | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 05:14 pm     I can't imagine anyone cares enough to do anything. I certainly wouldn't wish harm to any hg upon their return home. I do hope they at least reflect on their behavior and realize that saying "I have no regrets" isn't the best way to go. I think that just tends to make them seem more arrogant and certainly doesn't make one feel that there was any reflection of their own behavior. I was really hoping that since the game is essentially over, jun and ali would just own up to some things they did that were just not necessary. That could make a lot of people who dislike them in the house more forgiving IMO. I don't see it happening though. I mean, is there anything in life that if given the chance, you wouldn't change one thing or another that you did? It's called learning from experience. So far, no evidence of that going on. |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 06:23 pm     America's not going to do anything because Ali (or Jun, whoever wins) won't be famous enough for anyone to care. Unless of course they go to the same Olive Garden Will went to and are also famous there for a month. Then they might get free dessert or something.  |
Bastable | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 06:48 pm     Violence? What a joke! No one is going to want to attack her any more than they wanted to attack Dr. Will. There is a limitless supply of starf**kers in this country. That's who she's going to meet. People who are dying to meet her, want her autograph, and kiss her butt. Anger will never figure into it. That's not how fame works. |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 07:02 pm     I don't think that many people care. I don't know anyone else personally that even watches this show. I only watched on Wednesdays and read livefeedposts. Nothing is going to happen to Ali because of this show. There is so much reality tv now that I don't think she will even get the whole "15" minutes. |
Sherbabe | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 08:44 pm     Trying to word this so there is no misunderstanding, but, I hope that over the course of time, people (friends, neighbors, school pals, follwers of this show) will call her on her behaviour. I hope people's opinion of her will give her pause to her own behaviour and that she should grow up and face the music. Personally, I could not stand to be in the same room as girls who behave like her. This lesson in life will be a tough one for her to live down. I don't want her to be harmed, but, if enough people give her the message that she is rude, spoiled and her heart and soul are unattractive, she should understand that she must be accountable for her words and actions. I know not everyone in the house was an angel, but, she was disgusting. I watch big brother, knowing that the true title of the show should be "People Behaving Badly". Good riddens to her, and mean girls like her. |
Cjeanne | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 08:54 pm     Ali and Jun do not serve to win anything except a ticket to the bathroom...I don't like either one of them and this BB-4 stinks period...I hope BB-5 has better group of people...Ones who have some values and moral and don't run around half dressed and acting like idiots...Ali walks around with little clothes on and she has the biggest nose I ever seen...and Jun walk around with no clothes on with her fat body hanging out...the only people who should have won is Jack, Ericka, justin, robert or Jee |
Crossfire | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:05 pm     But they all sucked at the game. Wearing clothes, and having a specific body type are not important. |
Alinthehouse | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:08 pm     I don't think she will encounter much on the outside. After all the TV appearances, she most likely will just go home. The people that know her, know the real Alison. I don't believe the show will have a big impact on the way they feel about her. I cannot imagine a person that is shallow on the show is not the same in real life. That much nastiness does not happen overnight. As for the people that don't know her, they won't care what happens to her. Speaking only for myself, I will not be interested in hearing about her in the future. No followup is necessary for me. She is no Dr. Will! |
Wendo | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:17 pm     "What will Alison encounter in the real world?" She will encounter the front of the BB house. Then, Julie Chen. Then a hotel. A cast party on Saturday. A plane ride home. Her family picking her up. A ride in a car. The front door. Some luggage by the stairs. And the rest, I dunno. No cameras in the Irwin family home. edited to add: Hey! Maybe we can get them to put in a web camera so we can keep tabs on her. |
Lurknomore | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:21 pm     I'm thinking she will encounter a world without a boyfriend waiting who seemed like a decent guy and at best she will watch the tapes and read some boards and take stock and RESPONSIBILITY for her actions and evaluate if that's who she wants to be in this world. Do I think that is likely? No...I think we saw who she is and she'll likely hook up with some shallow folks who think it was kewl that she was on TV and fawn on her for that for a brief time. For her sake I hope she chooses the former not that latter. |
Bastable | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:23 pm     Wendo, don't forget the eternal hellfire of damnation! Ali's gonna encounter that, too, for tossing around the f-word a few too many times. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:30 pm     Oh Bastable. I can't believe I forgot. When Ali dies, she will live in an eternal hellfire of damnation. Dang my CRS! |
Carrie92 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 09:34 pm     I hope her ego deflates a little. No doubt, she is probably expecting to be signing autographs at the airport for her adoring fans. She already said she would carry her BB bag at the airport. But I think that regardless of any negativity she may encounter, she will never take responsibility. I just don't see that in her. |
Vskatefan | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 10:14 pm     Ali is due to learn some hard lessons, but not really as a result of BB but in life in general. I think a lof of what Ali did in the house was how she probably acts in the outside world. Down the line, she will encounter a few disappointments. |
Mkcantjump | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 10:35 pm     Good grief. I've been off board for awhile and come back to find the entire site is nothing except Ali. Good or bad , that much attention will definately please her. Not to mention her agent, if she has one. |
Kathyb | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 03:39 am     I think it's interesting the way some of you want these people to suffer in real life for their behavior on a reality game show. Trust me, Ali and June and all the other BB houseguests have families and friends who love them just the way they are and I'm sure will continue to do so. Sherbabe, do you really believe that people should go around "calling" friends, relatives and neighbors on their "behaviour"? Anyone who tried to do that with me would soon be an ex-friend. |
Beruthiel | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 04:12 am     A real and true friend, I'd like to think, would care enough about someone's welfare and future to point out to him or her that he or she was making poor choices and exhibiting behaviour that was being called into question by most reasonable people. Doing so for that someone would be a great gift and a very big favour, and would show real caring, IMHO. Of course, someone like Ali would most likely brush it off, and that would be her loss, since she wouldn't learn anything about herself. Robbie Burns the poet said it well: "O would some Power the gift give us To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us, And foolish notion." (Anglicised version)  |
Bronxie | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 04:15 am     I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up on New Years Eve on MTV, co-hosting a 30-minute segment. |
Duncan | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 04:17 am     I believe they should Kathy. Personally, I would rather be around people who will tell me the truth and call me on my behaviour when it is out of line than be around a bunch of "yes-friends". The ones who aren't afraid to tell me I am acting like a butthead are my true friends. |
Queenfish | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 05:15 am     I am sure the reaction from her parents will be in true form. They will be overly proud and happy that their daughter did the things she did in order to get the money. Any way I think that is how they will react, according to their interviews. They will hold her in high regard, spoiling her even more. As far as the rest of the world. She may find some repercussion out there, but nothing serious. I do think if she watches the whole show and reads some of the internet sites she may possibly see her self in a real "mirror" and grow from the experience. That is what I hope will happen anyway. |
Rainwoman | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 05:23 am     What will Alison encounter in the real world? oooooh, let me get out me crystal ball.. den I tell you. aaaaah... does not look pleasant. Why are za children running za way from her? I see mamas covering da ears as dey run..... oooh... don't trip. Let me take another lookie. I see all des peoples in dis dark alley... dey making protest signs that say.. WE HATE ALISON .. oh, does not look good. Dey all women with WE LOVE DONNY t-shirts on, carrying weapons with angry faces ...oooooh, me better get out of here before dey come after me too. Bye Bye. |
Lorry | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 05:29 am     Nothing will change for either woman after they leave. They leave as they entered. Neither made friends, nor did the experience help them to grow. I belong to a group of business women (43 of us) in the Pittsburgh area and none of us watch the shows any longer, nor do any of the other ladies read the LFs. I alone stay, just for this board and the few friends I have been lucky enough to meet here. Neither woman has given a reason for us to think about them nor care about them.. and that is a sad sign of their future lives. JMO |
What555456 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 05:44 am     She will find out that, after all this hassle, the amount of money she gets is only about 50% of what she expected -- because of taxes -- and she will wonder if it was all worth it. She will find out that primping, preening and clawing your way to the top of local beauty pageants and summer replacement TV shows does not make for a satisfying life. She will find out that just because Mommy and Daddy think you are the center of the universe and everything you do is wonderful, no one else does. She will find out that having and nurturing close, intimate friends and relationships is a lot more important to find satisfcation and happiness in life than achieving meaningless and minimal public attention. |
