Raindancer | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:12 pm     I dont post much so I doubt I would be missed. I quit watching and I will no longer care what happens so I will no longer be checking in here either. The final straw for me was the way they edited this stuff to make Ericka and Robert seem to be the evil doers when it comes to racist remarks. They left out Jun and Allie's antics, which are deplorable. They also edited out the fact that Ericka's remark was ONLY a repeat of what Jee told her she would say. Jun calling an INNOCENT child a was just UNFORGIVABLE, I can't watch either Jun or Alison walk away with any amount of money. I want to pretend I never even heard of Big Borther and I will never again watch another season. |
Tissy | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:17 pm     Wont you even take a little tiny weeny peek - hands infront of face, look through your fingers type peek? |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:19 pm     I understand completely. I am waiting to see if they show their statements tonight or next week. It may not be important to everyone, but for me, this omission is pivotal. |
Gina8642 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:20 pm     maybe this can be added to the eight other threads ranting about the exact same topic? |
Notorioussun | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:24 pm     It's understandable. What is not understandable is how quickly most posters forgot what Jun said about little Elena. They are so busy bashing Ali, I guess it's short term memory loss. lol |
Earthmother | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:24 pm     Rain, as I said in another thread.."Life ain't fair"...If you read the posts of the majority of our members you know your opinion is supported. The truth is that reality is ugly. Mean people get rich every day, while some good-hearted people are homeless and hungry. Although we tend to look at this show as just a TV show it is more real than scripted. Have you ever worked for a major corporation?..well I have, and this nasty back-biting stuff goes on every day at some companies, good people are fired while the snakes get promotions. What we have on these boards is a testiment to the fact that good, hard working, sensitive people do exist and no matter what goes on in the bb house at least I know that the whole country can't be measured by the few on this show who I may feel get more than they deserve. |
Smokey | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:24 pm     I don't blame ya, Rainwoman. I am too curious and have too much time invested to quit, though. I will email anywhere I can think of to complain about them omitting Alison and Jun's remarks so that maybe, just maybe someone will listen. I am thinking after reading a few of the online articles, that it is really out there as far as how these two have conducted themselves. I am hoping it shows up in tonight's show, too, Wood. I am on eastern time, so only 1.25 hours to go. I know a few will pop in here to remind us that it's just a game and yeah, it's just a game. BUT, it is also a game of personalities and a game of us viewing their personalities as they interact with one another and how they conduct themselves. So, IMHO, it should have a lot of weight in who wins. At the very least, it should be told to the TV audience. They made Erika look like a huge racist with her remarks and I saw that when she said it, and it was out of anger at what Jee said to her and one quick outburst. It wasn't going on and on and on, relentlessly tearing him apart. |
Lorry | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:28 pm     I guess it can't be helped, that people are so flabbergasted and disgusted, we can't seem to believe that it was done, let alone that the show itself is so biased as to not call them on it. Raindancer, don't leave just yet.... we have tonite's show and next week... and of course your posts, opinions and contributions will be missed. This group has proven to be one great bunch of people. |
Max | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:36 pm     Ahoy! Don't sail away altogether, now! Thar be much more of the open sea to explore here than those scurvy dogs in the BB house. Before ye be hoisting sail, seize ye a map from this handy bin!

Carrie92 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:37 pm     Agree! I'll watch tonight, but only to see if they redeem themselves by showing the Ali/Jun comments. If they do, maybe I'll tune in and tape The Bachelor on Wednesday. If not, I'm done. I can't wait for a whole season of Bob! Agree w/Smokey too, people keep saying it's only a game. Those people are only partially right, IMO. Yes, it's a game, but comments like we have heard have nothing to do with gameplay. If BB was "just a game", we wouldn't have had to be reminded of Robert's name-calling again and again and again and you-get-my-drift. |
Bondmaiden | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:40 pm     Me too, if I can just locate my halo, I'll be all ready for the show. lmao |
Saggkl | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:59 pm     After the way they have talked all season I am not that surprised at what they said. Don't condone it just not that surprised. It was part and parcel of the trash that has come out of their mouths for what seems like forever. I didn't hear it because I don't listen to the feeds anymore. But like I said I wasn't really that surprised. |
Juiceman | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 05:55 pm     Im with you on this one RAindancer. I will watch the final to see if CBS comes clean and honest about it. If not then I might not return anymore. |
Eliz87 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:04 pm     I think that if anyone is going to let themselves get so wrapped up in a TELEVISION PROGRAM, then it would probably be best not to watch. |
Gidget | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:09 pm     Good point Eliz87 but I think most of us are less invested than you think. We are far more invested in the fun we have with each other on the board. Most of us, anyway. The show is just the catalyst for focus. If you don't believe me. Wander around the rest of the board. Lot's of people hanging out being friends. |
Murph | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Raindancer and Smokey, I am right there with you; I came out of lurking to post on the Thread "Should Julie call Ali and Jun... because I was so tired of Jun and Ali getting a pass on their language while everyone else is shown over and over as the evil houseguests. I kept hoping that in fairness their behavior would be exposed but even tonight they were still edited to be America's sweethearts. I am not asking for tar and feathering or a public flogging. Tonight's show sponsors were Taco Bell, Windex, Orville Rechenbacher, Radio Shack, Quaker Oats, Transitions Eyewear, Oust Air Freshener, and McDonalds for those wishing to email your displeasure with the tone of this year's show. I am irritated that anytime someone speaks out on a thread that Ali and Jun should be held accountable, the same posters come on the thread and beat us over the head that it is only a game, that they the girls were only joking, that those of us who find their behavior indefensible should get a life, or turn the TV off if we don't like the show. That is why the these types of threads keep on appearing; before the end of the evening those same posters will be on this thread with their condescending attitudes turning this thread into a mockery of our opinions. And they think we are the one's beating a dead horse. HA HA!! I just want a fair and balanced presentation of the facts, just the facts. |
Coffee | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:12 pm     If CBS don't bring this out I won't be watching another season either. It is not the point of being wrapped up in a television program. This is totally different. This is seeing foul mouthed trashing arrogant Ali and Jun hurting a 7 yr old. Any other trashing has been adults to adults. This is different. This is something that needs to be dealt with or what is someone going to try and pull off next year? |
Scandalousplaya | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:17 pm     Maybe Arnold wanted to stick to Erika because he didn't know about JA |
Nexell2 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:19 pm     I wish I could tell you all that CBS will miss you next year but I can't because they won't. Fact of life. Sorry. |
Smokey | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:21 pm     Hi Murph--Yep, I don't want them flogged, either, I just think the editing was beyond belief. And I am really PISSED AAWWFFF to quote Dana! LOL I am being sarcastic because as Eliz said, it's a TV show. But, like Gidget says, we have fun here talking about it. This is 90% of BB for me and I like it. I don't like it when people who disagree with a thread like this keep coming into them and doing as you said. I even like some of the posters, but to me, they are worse than those who are venting because it's like a mission to prove their point or to put down someone with a different perspective, continuously. Hey--it's just an opinion and venting, that's it. And, it's just a wish and desire for fair editing for the show. Yes, Robert talked disgusting. Did I like it? No. Yes, I heard Erika's remarks about Jee. Did I like that? No. Have I heard Alison and Jun talk-- continuously --trash, bigotry and racism? Yep. Do I like that? No. So, why the he11 are they not showing this? Me thinks they have a need to paint the winners a certain way. Is this disturbing my life? Nope, I am online doing work anyway and check this board because I like it here. This is just a disclaimer before someone jumps in and says I am too obsessed with the show. |
Wendo | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:23 pm     Murph said, "...for those wishing to email your displeasure with the tone of this year's show." What's been wrong with the tone of the show? Seems ok to me. (As well with others considering the ratings.) And, if it's the live feeds you're talking about well, those come with a disclaimer. and said, "I am irritated that anytime someone speaks out on a thread that Ali and Jun should be held accountable, the same posters come on the thread and beat us over the head that it is only a game, that they the girls were only joking, that those of us who find their behavior indefensible should get a life, or turn the TV off if we don't like the show." Well, I'm irritated at the constant repetitive threads the beat us over the head with the constant babble of how Jun and Ali should be thrown out, lose the money, called out, and drawn and quartered. As far as coming into other threads to voice an opposing opinion, deal with it. That's what the board is for. Starting topic after topic about the same gosh darn topic is ridiculous. |
Earthmother | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:24 pm     Coffee and Murph, your view point has be hashed over and over on numerous threads and most of us agree with you, and they have received press from other sources so the word has been put out to the masses. Don't think your viewpoints are trivilized in any way, it's just that the argument has been beaten to death and no one is changing their minds. Nexell is right, the powers that be could care less if you don't watch again, because 200 more will. |
Bondmaiden | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:32 pm     Wendo, I so agree with you. Anyone that likes Ali and Jun is really bashed on this board. Especially Ali. I got use to it when I finally realized that Ali and Jun would be the final two and there was absolutley nothing the bashers could do about it. Either girl is good to win for me. |
Eliz87 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:33 pm     Gidget, I post quite frequently on the boards...this one, Survivor, General Discussion, Movies, Library. So, I do have a good appreciation for many of the people here. I've been following and posting on these boards since BB1, and it's just that this is the first year there has been so much angst concerning this show. It's gotten to the point where instead of having friendly and lively debate about the HG's or the show in general, some posters are taking comments made by these particular HG's PERSONALLY and actually relating it to everyday life. I don't know...just ceases to be fun anymore after it gets to that point. So, while trying not to offend, I was just agreeing that it probably IS best for someone not to watch the show if they are going to let it infuriate them or practically ruin their day...Or worse yet, ruin their experiences on this board that we all love. |
Wendo | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:35 pm     Bondmaiden, I didn't say fans of Jun and Ali are bashed on this board. Additionally, I don't feel, for the most part, that I have been bashed by anyyone here. (Except by email, but that's another topic for another day. LOL!) I also have no problem with those who are dissatisfied with Jun and Ali posting there opinions; but don't tell me I can't post mine even if it opposes you. |
