Rainwoman | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:36 pm     Have you noticed at the top of the USA 2003 page, that Jun and Alison's colorful pictures stand on each side of an entire gutted out area of houseguest's black & white photographs? They took out the entire middle of houseguests. Interesting to notice that. goodnight.  |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:48 pm     I did notice.. have been anticipating that they'd be the bookends. That is an adorable little graphic, Earthmother!! |
Emdanzma | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 09:03 am     Did anyone catch how Robert called Alison 'Mama' when he left? That just shocked me. I thought that was something special between him and his daughter, and that it meant "love". To hear him say that to Alison just made no sense to me. |
Eliz87 | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 09:06 am     I didn't notice that, but maybe it's Robert's term of endearment -- like some people use "honey" or "sweetie" or some such. Robert's must be "mama" and, in spite of myself, I think that's nice. :-) |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 09:09 am     It's been brought up before when he had the phone call with her. Apparently "mama" or "mami" is a term of endearment used to address children in the Latino culture. |
Ark | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 09:21 am     I didn't notice it but Ali did. I heard her ask Jun if she heard him say it last nigh. |
Monalisahi | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 09:52 am     Can anybody confirm that Robert actually said it? |
Cajunrambler | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 09:56 am     He did call her "mama" when he received the phone call from her. She called him "papa" and he replied "hello mama." I thogut it was very sweet. |
Emdanzma | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 10:11 am     I rewatched my tape and as Robert hugged Ali goodbye he said "bye mama" and then kissed her head. I mean, it would be sweet if I hadn't already heard him talk the way he does about those girls. |
Kit1966 | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 11:05 am     Actually, "mama" or "mami" is not only a term of endearment used for children...my dh calls me and our daughter "mami". Same way he'd call a son "papi" or a woman would call her man "papi". It's a Latino thing! |
Monalisahi | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 11:16 am     Emdanzma, thanks. LOL, when it's something Ali says, I need confirmation. |
Watching2 | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 11:18 am     Hearing Robert say "mama" and kissing her head made me think he really does like her much more than he likes Jun. Earlier in the game, he ranted about Jun saying he didn't want her to get a penny. It was only recently he said things regarding Ali. I think in the long-run, Robert will vote for Ali because she seems to be more of a person he would like than Jun. Who knows when he talks with the others, but I just have a feeling his alliance is going to go to Ali. I think if Jun had evicted him, he would have been much less gracious about his comments regarding her. FWIW |
