Turtletrackz | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 10:45 am     the jury had three options on voting: Jun Alison Noone They'd have to justify the Noone vote to their faces. The money would roll over to the next BB group. Think how the new group would have to play the game to ensure those on the jury would really vote for them. Rewarding what these girls stand for is just simply vile. |
Seanflynn2003 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 10:49 am     Doing that would be far more vile than anything any HG has done. It would be an act of fraud on the HGs and on the viewers. It is an absolutely terrible idea, sorry. If you don't like the two finalists, don't watch -- that is a perfectly reasonable alternative. |
Catchme | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 10:52 am     It would be nice if the jury members could abstain from voting. However, that will not be possible due to rules, etc., etc. It would be great if they could cast their votes and then specify that neither one of them would get their money until a certain age - AS IN WHEN THEY GROW UP. Now that would be sweet. |
Trubycat | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:04 am     I agree with seanflynn. This is a terrible idea. If you don't like the show, the finalists, whatever - don't watch. I'm not happy about Jun/Ali receiving money but I'd rather one of them get it than a couple other people that were in the house this year (Dana, Jee, Robert) so I'm pretty happy with the way things worked out. People who wish the producers would do some last minute cruel twist which would keep either finalist from getting money are just sore losers. Plain and simple. So, I guess that means you are Dana! Just kidding. No hard feelings. I just think it is a bad idea and would/should never happen. |
Lorry | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:04 am     Under the circumstances, I don't think it would be awful to either hold back the big prize and give them each 50,000... or perhaps to award them the money, but with a public statement that due to the vile racism and other remarks made about people not in the game, the other players did not choose to award the money and so it would be America's call-in vote that would decide the winner. That way they get their money, but publicly denounced for their horrid remarks that were kept from the viewing audience. |
Eliz87 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:06 am     But this isn't a morality contest, or a manners contest. It's a contest to see which of the HG's can be the remaining two in the house. They've done that, and under the rules will be compensated. CBS would be in big trouble legally if they did not compensate the winners of this game. |
Lorry | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:21 am     I think there are limits to any game, limits in life as well. I think these two girls over stepped the limits and should be called out for it. The producers certainly called out Robert and Erica and what is fair is fair. I don't think Scot's behavior was worse than June or Ali's... and yet he was dismissed early. They may have not been physically violent, but they certainly were verbally... and JMO, but it appears to me, and to so many others, that it went over the line. That type of behavior, along with physical threats should not be rewarded.. JMO |
Bronxie | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:25 am     Then the rules shold be changed so that the sequestered HG are also shown the live feeds as soon as they are evicted. That way only America's viewing audience would remain ignorant of the real goings on. Let's face it, this is similar to a jury only being shown what the defense attorneys permit. |
Bastable | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:26 am     Eliz87, once again you are the voice of reason. |
Trubycat | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:30 am     Bronxie, so you mean the rules should be changed back? The Hgs only get to see video of the competitions, nominations, and evictions before the vote. They got to see those on a weekly basis when the new evictee would show up. There is no harm in that since the new bootee would certainly tell them all about the week's events anyway, now wouldn't they??? They do not see the episodes, the feeds, website commentary, ANYTHING else until AFTER they vote. They are going to watch the tapes after their vote so they will have something to talk about in the final showdown (remember these people have been living together all summer) BEFORE they REVEAL their vote. |
Llkoolaid | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:31 am     I think it would be nice to see a twist for the jury, make them explain their reason for voting for the person they choose to give the big money for, and also don't allow fluff questions when Ali and Jun are in the hotseat. All questions should have to pertain to the things the F2 did to get where they are. |
Ark | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:42 am     Where is that dead horse emoticon when you need it? |
Monalisahi | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 12:34 pm     Ok, I don't care for either of the final 2, but I plan on watching Wednesday night. Not to support either Jun or Ali, but to see the reactions of the evicted hg's. Just because I would do things differently doesn't mean I shouldn't watch. That line has been completely over used here. |
Wendo | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 12:41 pm     Yipeee! Another one! Thanks guys, I needed another thread to talk about Jun and Ali not deserving the money. I knew I could count on you! Hugs and kisses! |
R151996 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 03:23 pm     I'm not aware of anyone ever being hospitalized for injuries resulting from receiving a verbal insult. The same cannot be said for being on the receiving end of a thrown chair. |
Coffee | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 03:31 pm     Verbal insults at children can harm that child. She is going to hear it one way or the other - at school or at some activity. Then she will also know that BB must have been alright with it since they didn't do anything. Children are very smart and deserve more credit than some give. |
Tresbien | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 04:14 pm     I wouldn't allow a seven-year old child of mine to watch reality television. |
Monalisahi | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 04:23 pm     Tresbien, nor would I. But I can understand if her parent was on the show, but I would see if I could talk to the producers or something and get an edited tape for her. But, I still think there was no excuse for their words, regardless of whether Elena sees it or not. IMO |
Juiceman | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:24 pm     What is the point of responding to a 'what if' thread with the comments "if you dont like it then dont watch" ?! WOw thats great logic. Hey - if you dont like people fantasising about no one winning then follow your own logic first and DONT read or reply to this thread. ok. |
Coffee | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 12:03 am     Elena wouldn't even have to watch the show to hear these comments about her. Someone will say something to her. These two should not be allowed to get away with. Hopefully, something will come of it on Wednesday. |
