I'm with you Frodolives, except that I'm not even really curious about who wins this year. I haven't had my feeds on in about a month, haven't read the lfp's in that long either. I read the topics here in gd, very seldom post, and watch the show if I'm home.

I'll probably watch it but ONLY because I haven't missed a show all season...and I wanna know who the sequestered HGs vote for and why.

Originally I had wanted an Erika/Jun F2 but after watching jun these last few weeks on the live feeds I can't say i'm happy she's getting to the f2. I don't watch much of the LF anymore - they have nothing interesting to say and the crap they've said a millions times already.

I'll probably watch the show or tape it just because of the other HG votes and reasons - it really doesn't matter which of the <el> comes in 1st and which 2nd.

The only thing that would make the show interesting now is if they had to get a majority vote and the jury could withhold their votes from either of them and keep them both from getting anything...or wouldn't it be nice if they could vote for anyone of the HG and not be forced to choose between bad and just as bad. Give the ones that make it to the end a couple of thousand extra for making it but let the jury vote for anyone as they see deserving.

If the finale 9:00 p.m. June 24th? If so, I'll be watching the season premiere of The West Wing. I'll channel flip during commercials, but TWW is much more entertaining than Jun and Ali.

Boycott nah! Hoping to see the two finalist humiliated by the jurys questions! All I can say is enough of these two! Bring on Survivor!

Iscreamer1, that's what I'm hoping for, but if I see it's going to be toned down, I'm changing channels.

Ill reluctantly watch it. But I do plan to boycott the next American Idol as I have Cupid. They cheated my boy Clay out of the title he deserved. But they can't take away his voice or his charm.

The final is up against the West Wing AND the Bachelor? Well, I think something more interesting just came up. I'll stop back here and see who won for curiosities sake.

The Bachelor will be on??? Woohooooo, I'll watch Bob instead of these........ ummmmmm..... <trying to think of something that won't be edited> ...... oh well, you know who I mean...LOL.

They sure did cheat Clay, Hamsterlady. That just sucked and I did not believe that text voting stuff for a minute. They could say who ever they wanted to win. Simon makes me sick and so does that grinning Ryan Seacrest!

No, I won't boycott. I've made it this far. I can make it 1 more week.

Will I boycott the finale?!?! Why would I do that!?

I won't boycott it but what would CBS do if, after the jury finds out who is up for the final 2, they decide to boycott it themselves and not cast a vote? Basically just sit there mum.

My guess is they would have to enforce some kind of contract clause but since everything is done on live tv they (producers)would be scrambling last minute trying to save their finale show.

If the jury would refuse to vote, I'd tell them "Vote or lose your stipend." That money would be enough to motivate me into voting.

I won't boycott BB, not after all this time wasted. Too bad, I was rooting for Jun until this past week. Oh well, I'm glad it will be over and that I have three VCRs at my disposal, lol.

To the Clay fans, Simon did him a favor! He has a record contract which was negotiated by one of the top entertainment lawyers in the country. He does not have to continue to associate himself with American Idol once he is done with the tour. I'm willing to bet the contract that Ruben had to sign is not even close to the one that Clay has with RCA. In this case, I think losing the show turned out to be a good thing.

I am so disappointed in this year's BB. I won't boycott a Jun/Ali final ... however, I would have boycotted a Robert/Ali final. I really can't stomach either one of them. Jun, while far from my favorite, is the "best" of the three, in my opinion. I remember posting very early in this game that I thought Jun was one of the best BB players that I'd ever seen. She played everyone, but (most of the time) she didn't get as nasty as Alison. I can't go as far as saying that I'm "rooting" for Jun to win, but her winning will at least be acceptable to me.

This may sound cruel, but I'm hoping that Ali doesn't get one single vote in the finals. That alone would be worth watching to see.

She may not have BEEN as nasty as Ali in the past, but I think they're both running neck and neck in that department now. That's why I think we have to look at game play and at the moment, Ali seems to be out-playing Jun.

the 'play' is all about currying the favor of the jury. they decide. ali has played the worst game. she's been 'kept around' to give other hopefuls a better shot. she had no control over being kept around for that reason, although she did all she could to make herself into 'the one easiest to win against'.

I don't think Ali is out-playing Jun. In fact, I think they played a very similar game, but Jun is more discrete about it. She hasn't made enemies. So, in my opinion, that makes her the better player. And, while I agree that Jun has stooped to some low levels recently, Ali has been nasty throughout the whole game. Again, just my opinion.

Well again, think we're splitting hairs if we try to figure out which one of these three is the most least-nasty. :) But (and I mentioned this on another thread) from what I saw on the show last night, Jun seems to be totally reliant on her alliance with Ali. On the other hand, Ali is continuing to play both sides against the middle and is still floating. Now granted, Jun may be doing the same thing and we're just not seeing it (MAN! How I wish we had access to the DR sessions on the LFs!) but unless Jun pulls a shocker and takes Robert to the finals with her, then it would appear to be that she's stopped playing the game (at least using my definition of "playing" anyway.) So, in my estimation, Ali has managed to "out-float" Jun and subsequently has made herself the best game player.

out float? intersting... seems to be the measure of the better player is all about how the jury will vote. no one can predict on what criteria they will cast their votes, of course, but it stands to reason that outright betrayal would probably be less likely to gain a player a jury vote than merely 'floating' and inflicting no overt offense. jun would be giving the game away by taking robert - he's sure to get the votes of jee and justin (perhaps even dana) over her, but that's far, far less likely the case if she takes ali. ali's about one thing and one thing only - second place. she stands to get more votes taking jun than robert, but she's not going to get the most votes whether it's jun or robert sitting in the final two with her. i think ali hates robert more than jun and if it's her call to make, she'll take jun. in my estimation, having second place be your one and only option besides eviction makes her the least accomplished player between herself and jun.

I guess I just like to be optimistic and hope that the jury would do the forgiving thing and vote for the person who actually PLAYED the game (which might be Jun or Ali) vs. the person who might be the most well-liked (Robert.)

I'll watch a Jun/Ali final, could be real interesting who votes for who. They have both been floaters, and have both turned on people that trusted them. It'll be interesting to see how everyone votes.

I'll just watch but don't expect me to cheer or congratulate them.

Speaking of this final- did anyone else feel, as my family did, that the second part of HOH totally played to Jun's strengths and Robert's weaknesses?

Mystery

Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:09 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Meggie, we did think that at my house but then we couldn't think of what Robert's strengths might be if BB had wanted to slant the competition his way.

I will watch. I never leave things unfinished. I have however cancelled my RP subscription and am moving on...(Survivor starts tomorrow...hehe)

So I will be watching and I will be back next year.

Monalisahi

Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:41 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Meggie..LOL...does Robert have any strengths in the game??? Of course he did do well with knowing the evicted hg's. Guess we can at least credit him with actually learning something about these people.

Meggieprice

Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:41 am EditMoveDeleteIP
LOL- I did think that when i wrote that Mystery! I think it was particularly complicated though, and he is known to be ADD- just the directions seemed to glaze his eyes over.

He did win the luxury comp- maybe that was his advance consolation prize since they knew they would see to it that he would not win HOH. I think they want an Ali/Jun finale.

LOL That's it,Mystery and Monalisahi......they should have had another THROWING comp!! Jun and Rob should have had to Throw little balls with the HGS names on them at velcro patches on the big Xs. The person who had most correct in a certain time period would win.

While Jun probably would know the correct placement of the names......Could she throw they well enough to land on the correct arm of the X??

Rob may not KNOW who's ball goes where but at least every arm of the X would have a ball of somekind stuck to its velcro patch.

Who'd win in the long run?? Jun could throw better at a nonmoving target. I dont know who would be the ultimate winner....but Rob would have had more of a chance LOL

Actually, I don't think the second HOH contest favored anyone. It was merely testing the HG's awareness of what ocurred in the house; who was nominated, who teamed up for competitions, etc. How does that favor one HG over another when both HG were in the house when the events happened? Jun paid attention, Robert didn't.
