Yes Juiceman, you sound like you have what my father had. My dad used to tell us kids 'whole plots of movies' he had seen back in the days when you could go for 25 cents. Bowery Boys.....the Beast of FIVE FINGERS etc. So he was probably about ten yrs old then. When I was in Jr high we used to play a lot of Scrabble until Dad read the Webster's Dictionary end to end and we never bugged him to play with us anymore HA HA!
*******
You know, I was just thinking of a concept that someone recently explained to me. There is memory related to simple text but there is also 'full memory' which can be feelings, emotions and situations which can flood back when a trigger occurs. This reminds me of how you state you recalled exactly where you were when you were reading your sister's book. It interests me Juiceman....have you ever had your IQ done? Just because someone doesnt do well in school it is not an indication of intelligence. Albert Einstein wasnt a good student yet his IQ has been noted at 180 (If I recall correctly)
*******
I agree with what someone earlier said.....that the word photographic seemed incorrect since you dont necessarily have to SEE anything. It can be music for instance. In my earlier post it can be noted that another word is more specific to this gift.

All I know is that a lot of people think its 'really freaky' that I can do that. I can only do it if Im 'not trying' to. I also need to have it triggered and then 'talk myself' back to the moment. I can also recall the punctuation of the quote and the place it appears in the page and sentence.

What a stupid 'gift' LOL!

Someone theorised its a 'right brain left brain' anomaly because I can not remember numbers, dates or measurement without trying very hard. I can write a number and actually forget it as soon as I look away. I cant even do long division!

I was tested once for this employment program and did very average except poorly in the math - and then wierdly - extremely high in the 'spacial perception' tests. The testers were actually very perplexed and claimed it was 'extremely rare' to get every question. (that part asked you to view crude drawings of 'sheet metal' templates and guess the shape they would make)

But to me - that was the easy and fun part of the whole exam.

IF anyone can tell me how I can make any money from this PLEASE tell me because I suck at anything else LOL!

If Im ever in a 'shape perception' challenge on BB then Im winnning that HOH! wooo

Ketchuplover, I go through so many bottles of ketchup I could never remember everytime I opened a new bottle.

But then again, there are some of the special times. :)

There was the time that....oh wait I can't talk about that here.

If it's the competition where they have to run through a series of tasks (putting things in order, choking down PB&J, etc), I think Jun will win. She tends to do well when she actually tries, and she certainly excelled at the camera competition (which I think is the most similar competition, if anything is). I can picture Robert doing well at certain activities, then being baffled by one part.

That ok - I just realised how much of a big nerd I sounded like in this thread lOL!

I cant laugh at the ketchup phenominon because Ive heard stanger things.

A kid at work has a 'tourets' tick and constantly blurts out 'what year?!' every fifth sentence.

Actress Mary Lou Henner can remember exactly what she did on any day of her life based on calendar days.
She can also tell you the weather of any date you can name in her lifetime.

Lets face it - many of us have wierd-ass brain things. Most of us probably just found a way to pretend we are totally normal lol

I still say Alison will win Hoh and take Robert.

Jun takes alison if she wins.


Rob takes Alison if he wins.

Muse, good points.

I think if it's tasks, Jun will have an edge too. She certainly has an ability to do things without getting stressed out as well as remembering the order of things (ie: HOH's, evictions, etc.) And, had she not put her own name last week during POV, she would've won and not Ali. She was VERY close.

Additionally, Robert doesn't do as well with those kinds of competitions. (From the looks of last weeks POV, he only had four or five steps done.) To have to do multiple orders like that, as well as complete them in a time limit...I'd be very surprised if he won. Though, it's certainly very possible. I just think Jun has an edge.

Personally, I'd like to see Jun win. And, if she were to win and square off with Ali, I think Jun would have an edge to win the final HOH. It's usually about how the evicted view those still left (though we have had that already). And, I think Jun has a better grasp at how the evicted view her than Ali does.

If Jun did win the last HOH, I think she would take Ali. All the indications point that way. (Plus, I'm sure Ali would prefer Jun boot Rob. LOL!)

Moderator.......i don't mean to be rude but...could the "photographic memory" discussions maybe be moved to their own thread? sorry but as most of us dont have much time to read all the great posts in TV ClubHouse, having other subjects mixed up in those that interest us is alittle difficult. thank you :)

i agree with you Muse. jun does seem to do well at the "quick thinking" types of comps. I can't really decide whether Robert does best at the mental or physical comps...maybe it just depends on his desperation level..now would be as desperate a time as any i would think!

I am really hoping Robert wins the 2nd round, otherwise, it won't really make a difference who wins the last one, we know Jun and Ali are sticking together. It might be fun to watch those two grovel just a little bit too. Right now the way things are going, the only thing left to do is wait for the final show and see what the Jury does.

If part 2 is the same as last year I don't think Robert has much chance. I remember they were locked in the empty bedroom for what seemed like hours and each person left to do a list of chores then ring a bell when done. I especially remember them having to make a pb&j sandwich and the trouble Jason had getting it eaten before moving to the next chore.
I just don't think Robert can concentrate well enough to win a competition like that with many chores to perform in a limited time.

Am I wrong, or is the only thing left to find out is whether it will be Rob or Jun going with Ali in the final 2? I mean regardless of who wins HoH they are taking Ali because for some reason she has convinced people that she will be the most hated person to g against.

Keiffer--This "Part II HOH" I believe will determine who the final 2 will be.

I think this last HOH is only between Jun & Rob as Ali won the first one.

So as you said it will be Ali for sure as one of the final 2.

Did I get this assumption correct fellow posters?

An interesting twist might be for Jun or Rob to win HOH and NOT take Ali. Of course they told her they would take her, but she has also told them the same, and since she can't take both, she's lying to one of them.

When they were spilling the beans after Erika left, I was just hoping that Rob would mention Jun helping him study for POV comp.

Mizinvanccouver--Ali has just qualified to be in part 3----Jun and Rob are competeing for the right to go agaist Ali in part 3---Then on Weds Ali and todays winnier will compete in part 3 to win HOH and a spot in the final 2.

Mizinvanccouver

So I am to understand the HOH Part I has nothing to do with the HOH Part II?

So Part II all 3 HGs including Ali compete and whoever wins gets to choose who they want to be up against as the final 2?

Why do they call it HOH Part II when really they don't have anything to do with one another??

I'm confused!!

Miz this is the second round of the HOH competition. Ali won part 1 so she automatically goes to part 3. The winner today also goes to part 3 and that person and Ali then compete for the HOH. So while it looks likely, Ali is not yet guaranteed a place in the final 2. The third part of the competition is to be held live on Wednesday.

Part 2 is JUST Rob and Jun--by winning part 1 Ali has advanced to part 3--she doen not have to do part 2.

Thanks Lucymack and Kennyb...

So would there be an eviction right on Wednesday then once they determine who's HOH? Or because they've added that extra week will we have to wait?

Spunky

Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:38 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I think on Wednesday they'll have Round 3 of HOH and the new HOH will receive goodies and the HOH room and the show will end... "Who will the new HOH take to the finals???... Find out on September 24.

Or, we can see the eviction and the last two remaining in the house for a week until all the Jury comes back to the house for the last show.

Imagine seeing Ali and Jun alone for a whole week...They'll be badmouthing every single evicted hg and Robert, being the most recent, will get the worst.

But if it's Ali and Robert, that could be fun... Robert could bug the hell out of her not caring anymore... That's what I would do..

The eviction would be on Weds. Adds drama and on the spot decisions.

HOLY CRAP!!

We may not know who is the winner of Round 2 until Wednesday!!

This is what I read at Morty's..

"checked last years updates to see what happened in part two of the last HoH competition. The contest was completely FotH, and the winner was not even announced to the HGs until the live show. So be prepared to be frustrated on Sunday."

Shoot and shoot... But that means that Ali, Jun and Rob won't know either... good, so today they can't tell Robert he's out.

lol Spunky...are you talking to yourself again? I agree...that would be great if they are stuck with Robert and don't know themselves who won.

Charvie

Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:09 am EditMoveDeleteIP
If only these two got along than we could figure out who won based on their conversation, like we did last year with Danielle and Jason. But, seeing how these two aren't exactly warm and fuzzy unless discussing Bob I guess that won't happen. We'll have to depend on ALison knowing. Plus this will force them all to pack. Including Alison!

I am so surprised......after all my years here, reading about people's CATS and people visiting with each other in threads supposedly about HGs and BigBrother.

Moderator......The photographic memory stuff orginally started as an ALI observation. It is related to the HGs. I put ONE post of a personal nature on this Thread.

If you remove these few posts, that Mich has complained about, I request that you go through all threads and remove all the visiting and pet talk that others do.
