Rainwoman | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 06:52 pm     I am sick of him THREATENING the person who would evict him! saying that he will MAKE SURE that he will SCREW IT UP FOR THEM on the jury in the end if they evict him! SINCE WHEN ARE YOU ALLOWED TO INFLUENCE ANYONE'S VOTE ON THE JURY?!?! THIS IS GROSSLY UNFAIR!! AND BB NEEDS TO PUT A STOP TO IT .... NOW! |
Mizinvanccouver | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 06:55 pm     Poor Jun....Robert has been nattering at Jun for nearly an hour now!!!! He hasn't threatened 'physical violence' on Jun which is probably why BB hasn't stepped in. |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Well Jun's telling Ali everything now. And I never heard Rob threaten violence either which could cause BB to put a stop to anything. It's a game. |
Gidget | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:02 pm     Yes, it's just a game. Anything goes. Remember? |
Bonzacat | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:03 pm     Don't worry, Rainwoman, Jun knows what he's doing and I think both women expected him to have a bit of a meltdown. He's grasping at his last straw right now and his ship is sinking. They won't throw him a paddle and will probably hold him under. His game isn't good and they know it. |
K9lover1 | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:03 pm     I think it was a good move on his part - he has nothing to lose at this point. GO for it Robert. |
Onlyhuman | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:15 pm     I don't see why there's any reason WHY Robert can't make this threat. In fact, I've never understood why more people don't do it. After all, it's a game with no rules. The Jury is part of the game and if they want to go along with Robert, they can. It's really Robert's only hope (and I don't think it will work) but it will be fascinating to see if Ali or Jun attempts to throw the third HOH so they won't be the one responsible for evicting Robert. What a choice...winning the final HOH could get you votes for playing the game the best but it could cost you votes for being the one to evict Robert. At least this will add an element of interest to the rest of this week's activities... |
Rainwoman | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:19 pm     I did not say that Robert was "physically" threatening anyone. He is breaking a rule that clearly states in a contract that you CANNOT influence the outcome of a game. Clearly he is unfairly threatening to change the outcome of a game based on his threats of tainting the jury. It is a felony now to do what he says he will do. |
Mizinvanccouver | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:21 pm     Just so nobody misunderstands my earlier post on here... I felt bad for the way Jun had to listen to Robert for nearly an hour waving his arms shouting and saying what she should do. I wouldn't have wanted to be her. However I don't feel bad to the point of anyone needing to step in, it IS THE GAME after all as many mentioned after my post. He has every right to play the game any way he like so long as he doesn't use physical violence or threaten physical violence. (I have been misunderstood more than once today, so really feel the need to make sure I am clear. Is it a full-moon? No, it's not it was on Friday I believe.lol) |
Sbw | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:25 pm     Rainwoman, have you seen the contract they sign? |
Busydizzle | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:25 pm     It's not at all unfair for Robert to try to influence the jury if he ends up there. They're sequestered in a house together; do you really expect them not to talk about the game? Anything that is said in that house could potentially change a vote. Who knows what the other HG's have been saying about Jun and Ali? Whatever Robert says will be just another opinion and/or lie to add to the mix. |
K9lover1 | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:28 pm     I don't see how it could possibly be against the rules to try to influence others - isn't that what has been going on for 12 straight weeks now by everyone. |
Jdel | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:34 pm     Yep - and we saw how much influence Rob had on the other HGs when he tried to get Erika out - twice |
Sbw | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:38 pm     I don't see how they could possibly keep the HGs from comparing notes. They sequestered them to keep them away from DR visits, but unless they kept them in separate hideaways or someone was with them all the time -- (Can't you just see someone with Justin and Dana all the time? ) there is no way that the HGs won't discuss their feelings on the remaining HGs. |
Nmbeach | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:39 pm     Actually, it is Ali that has threatened Rob. She told Jun not to leave her alone with him or she would drown him in the bathtub. Maybe she is the one that should be expelled. |
Bastable | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:41 pm     Maybe Erika should have been expelled for wishing Jun and Ali had been killed in a fiery blimp crash. |
Dram | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:44 pm     Onlyhuman, So glad you posted that. I have often wondered that myself. I would go about it in an indirect way of course. I really thought Erika could have worked that to her advantage. Not to threaten, but just infer that she will be going to the jury house and she did have some power with Jack and possibly Nate. It may have given Ali or Jun some food for thought. I at least would have tried it. As it stands now I noticed Ali looking at the houseguest's pictures and I am assuming she is doing a mental headcount. She may be seeing the writing on the wall, so to speak. |
Mizinvanccouver | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:49 pm     The difference with Ali and Erika's threats were that they weren't to his face; therefore not a 'direct' threat if that makes any sense? On another reality show, Paridise Hotel they kicked (well sort of, long story) someone off for threatening another hotel guest. He threatened him directly to him, not talking to others about him. |
Amy | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:53 pm     The closer they get to the end the more angery the evicted ones get. Robert knows this is his last chance and he, when evicted, will have the most venom to spew about the housguests that remain in the house. If the roumors are correct he won't be going to the sequester house to poison the other evictees about his eviction. They will probably fly the other 6 back to LA this week for preparation for the end show the following week and they will most likely be separated like they were when they brought to LA befor the show started. |
Avrey258 | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:57 pm     I think they will all be together at some point when they return. Last year was different but they did let them all sit around and talk to each other. Also, it would be pointless to seperate them now. I am sure that they have all talked about this at the jury house. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:41 pm     I fervently hope that they do not put Robert with the others, for many reasons. I'd like Erika to have another Robertless week. Someone posted that they thought Julie said to Erika she was the last one to go to the sequester house, and my recording on my DVR got to a stuck place half hour in so I wasn't able to rewatch it. |
Jimmer | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:46 pm     It's a game about persuading others to do what you want them to. As long as Robert doesn't threaten physical violence I would think he could say whatever he wants. At least he is showing some honest emotion about this. I get frustrated when a houseguest just meekly accepts their fate. Besides Jun is no weakling - she can handle it. |
Amy | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:50 pm     I saw that too and wished I hadn't deleted it off my Tivo. If you really think about it there is no time for him to be sequestered. Especially if you remember last years final show, they had done a lot of taping with they jury members before the actual show where they vote for the winner. I think about the time he is evicted they will be flying, if they are in mexico, they other jury members back. |
Mizinvanccouver | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Very interesting....in the LF area it was posted that Ali and Jun were wondering just that...whether Robert would be going into the Sequesterd House. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:59 pm     LOL.. I posted that!! |
