Niceguy | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:50 am     Yeah, easier to say than do but that is what happened this year and they sort of did that the year before. I think men forget that the votes are equal and that they need to see that it may become a quiet gender battle when the numbers even out. I just don't want to see lily-livers like Jun and Robert get so far into the game. |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:53 am     It shouldn't be about gender, it should be about who is a strong player. Danielle and Alison were strong players but nobody realized that until it was too late. I would like to see interesting players of either gender in the house at the end. I think an all-female house is more interesting than an all-male one, though. BB1's final three was a snoozefest. |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:54 am     Crazy, I think this year has proven that boring knows no gender. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:55 am     With an all-female final two, all we have to look forward to is some hot lesbian action. (Just kidding). |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:11 am     well it's sorta been even.... BB1- final three was all male BB2, 3, and 4-2 women and one man in the final three So in the four BB's here, we've had 6 men and 6 women in the final three. and remember, it was 7 men and 6 women at the start this year before Scott's DQ....and women went 3 of the first 4 evictions. So having the 3 remaining women make it to the final 4 was suprising..... |
Demsome | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:28 am     I dislike the title of this thread so much!!! Why should the males not vote each other off so soon?? Huh Huh.. I kind of like it being a woman that wins,(being a woman myself) We have had 2 male winners..only 1 woman time for another woman to win!!!!!. There I feel better. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:31 am     I never think about the gender of the winner unless somebody in here brings it up for discussion. I don't think most people care, either. |
Bonzacat | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:33 am     Wood, you *always* make me laugh! Listen, I'm not even into hot lesbian action but it would be a lot more entertaining than 7 days with 2 HG doing nothing.... And BTW, the strongest players generally make it to the end. As it should be. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:52 am     Thanks, Bonzacat. My feeds are off unless there is a competition. I can't listen to these intellectual lightweights any longer. They don't even make use of the F-word a colorful exercise. At least with some hot lesbian action, we wouldn't have to listen to them speak. (Once again, I have no interest in seeing it). |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:57 am     I would disagree, Woodpecker, I think for some reason women viewers always prefer to see a female winner, whereas most men don't seem to care if the winner is a man or a woman. |
Zachsmom | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:58 am     I could handle an all male cast  |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:01 am     The person I've been rooting for for the past three seasons has been male. ........... and not only have they been boys they've been cute boys! Yep, I'm just that superficial. |
Bonzacat | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:08 am     To Zachsmom & Clio, I say -- an all-male cast or final would be just fine with me, too, but we want to hand-pick them, right!?  |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:09 am     Yep, definately would want to use my hands!!!! |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:09 am     Good point, Crazydog. If you've ever watched "Weakest Link", the women seem to band together to evict players far more than men do. Interesting. I've never been the "male bonding" type. I prefer women, but this show doesn't have any I find intriguing. |
Bonzacat | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:09 am     I know, Wood! :-( |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:10 am     Yes, the women ganging up on the guys seems to happen on Dog Eat Dog as well. |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:22 am     Well BB1 was three guys at the end..... |
Earthmother | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 01:52 pm     I completely disagree..Don't speak for me, Crazydog. I haven't wanted a woman to win yet...THEY AREN'T WORTHY, THEY AREN'T WORTHY. They haven't had a woman on this show that exemplifies what I think a woman should be how she should portray herself. All I've seen are makeup using, food bikini wear'n, militant, borderline nut cases, 20 and 30 something plum'd fools pretending to be women. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Earthmother rules. |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 02:45 pm     I am not speaking for you Earthmother, I was making a generalization based on the several years I have been posting on this board and other boards and the comments I have seen. I have seen more than my fair share of female posters who always talk about having a female Survivor winner or a female Amazing Race winner. It of course does not apply to all female viewers, but as I said, it is a generalization. |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 02:51 pm     Amen, Earthmommy. I vote for next year to have an all male house, and an all-female house with separate competitions and prizes. Then throw the evictees together in the party house with live feeds to all three. That has the potential to be entertaining, in my book. |
Kmjm | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 03:55 pm     Actually my impression from all BB's is that the women are always the first to be evicted ( with the possible exception of BBI- was Will Mega the first?). We were down to three women pretty darn fast in this house- 3 of the first 4 evicted were women. If not for Nate, it would have been 4 for 4! So I wouldn't agree that the men picked each other off "so soon". They got out half the women first! |
Onlyhuman | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 04:19 pm     Kmjm, you're right. This has been the pattern for the past 3 BBs. BB2: (M)FFFMMFMM .... Final 2 were M/F BB3: FFFMMFMMMFM ... Final 2 were F/F BB4: (M)FFMFMMMMF ... Final 3 are M/F/F What is interesting is how much power the words "strong player" have over these people. It seems that they initially pick off the weak players, usually females who don't have a strong alliance or who stand out for some reason (older, younger, crazy, etc.) Then everyone goes on a war path to evict the "strong players", usually considered to be the physically fit or intelligent males. The ones considered NOT to be threats to win competitions stay. This year was unique because Ali was given the opportunity to save herself, even though she was an obvious threat to win competitions. |
Chiparock | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 04:22 pm     Earthmother, I was agreeing with you until I remembered Cassandra from BB1. She kept her dignity and played the game with integrity and class. Too bad she was one of a kind; I doubt that Arnie would cast anyone like her. |
Kmjm | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 04:34 pm     And what about Monica and Sheryl? Edited to add- Thanks for going to the trouble of checking that out, Only human! |
Earthmother | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 04:35 pm     I liked Cassandra too and felt she came as close to how a reallll woman would behave, but I had a problem with her continually throwing the race card into the mix. Most of the time her points were valid but she went a little overboard at other times. Toned down a little she would have been my absolute favorite. We got to see so little of Sheryl I didn't really get to see what she was made of and Monica though given the company she was keeping was by far the most normal, again she didn't show me enough of herself by keeping so isolated to make a judgement. Granted I would have been happy as a pig in slop if Casandra or Monica had won, but I was not unhappy that Eddie and Will did. |
Saggkl | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 04:36 pm     Sorry I was crushed at the female that won Survivor. I did not think she deserved it at all. In this BB Allison has played very well in the competitions, but she is to cleverly sly and backstabbing for anyone to really back her or want her to win. With a different personality and her playing ability, she might have been a joy to watch, but she is not nor can I want her to walk away with the $500,00 or even the $50,00. But then I can't really want either of the other two to win either. So I give. (I guess I should not say no one wants her to win as I am sure she has fans. I am just not one of them) |
Volgirl | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 07:52 pm     Ohhh.... I wanted Monica to win sooooo bad.... |
