Before I leave this thread, I'd like to thank Mkcanjump and Bondmaiden for their witty responses and healthy discussions. Even though we are on different sides of this issue, I truly appreciated your fun demeanor combined with your very lengthy and inspiring opinions. You will be missed.

Go back Lori, way back... okay relax, your eyes are getting heavy, close your eyes and go back, back,... you're just a little, wee girl now, little more than a wisp.

Today is your first day of kindergarten. You're wearing your prettiest outfit with your Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox. Your mom kisses you goodbye as you get on the bus and one of the bigger girls, a 7 year old sticks her tongue out at you.

You scurry to your seat and try to melt into the smelly naughohyde upholstery. You think to yourself. That girl is mean. I don't like her. I hate her. She made me feel bad when clearly my mom says I am the most special little girl in the world.

Okay wake up and get Alison's mentality.

I went to the fan thread to read some of her fans notes and lately it is just "bump" to get it back up...I don't understand the point...

Gotta hand it to Ali- she has Jun promising to throw HOH. I think that would be a big mistake.

Lori

I agree Meggie...I really hope Jun does not throw HOH.

I too noticed the "bumps" on the fan thread...LOL 1/3 of the messages are bumps...some fan thread!

If ever there was a need to clean up a thread and stop wasting bandwidth, the Ali fan thread is it.

hahahaha, I agree Gidget, 85% bumps in the thread :)

I tried to nudge it down but it didn't work.

Erika would have taken Ali to the finals for the same reason Jun/Rob would. It's not "hey, I like you the best & want to give you a chance to win some $$." It's more like "Hey b!tch, you have really p!ssed off everyone in here - ok, I know I've been here the whole time - I'm taking your a$$ with me simply because you're the easy one to beat. Hand me my $500g."

Beruth you know very well you bumped it twice...lol!

Gidget

It's pathetic. If you like Ali, voice it loud and clear. Say why. Bump, bump, bump is just needy.

Gidget

Very nice, now drop the snotty little end comments and you will be a full grown up.

Yeah, but Meggie, that was a CRS moment! I thought the nudge would cancel out the bumps!
GO JUN!

BTW I love being able to call my senior moments CRS now- it sounds so serious, lol!

Go Jun Go!

Gidget and Jbfrommi,

If you check the complete Ali fan thread, none of first 48 posts were bumps. A bump game has been underway today, so 13 of the total 73 posts have been bumps or nudges. 13/73 = 17.8%. For 85% of the total posts in the thread to be bumps the next 300+ posts would all have to be bumps.

Hey, guys, let's not rag on the Ali fan thread and those that post there. Some who were fans of Dani last year know how it feels when a thread begins to rag on another thread and it's posters.

Meggie, I'm sure you remember since you were a fan of Dani last year.

Let's keep to the point of this thread, which is debating Ali and her game play in the house.

Which, by the way, seems to be working wonders on Jun. I'm very surprised that she's willing to allow Ali to take the last HOH. (Unless she's not serious.) If she is, indeed, serious, then I wonder if it's because she really doesn't want to be the one to evict Robert. Hmmm.

Thank you Wendo, very nice. Speaking of threads out of control, that could be this one. I know the mods almost shut it down yesterday. Not a bad idea.

Lori

The only reason Jun will throw HOH is because she does not want to evict Robert...here's hoping she comes to her senses! I am sure she's afraid of losing Robert's vote.

Wendo

Monday, September 15, 2003 - 06:56 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Lori, that's my thinking as well. She doesn't want to do the actual "work" to get Rob out. This will either work for her (Rob votes for her to win the big money since Ali is the one to evict him), or it will work against Jun (because Ali did a lot of work throughout the game, including the work at the end, the jury may reward that.)

However, in the end, it plays well for Ali irregardless because, unless Jun has had a major shift in thinking, Ali is assured a spot in the final 2. (If she wins, she takes herself. If Jun wins, she's indicated she wants to go with Ali.)

Lori

Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:00 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
...and it will all depend on the mind set of the jury...rewarding the best gameplayer or the person they like the most (or hate the least LOL). I think it will be close.

Silly question but is everyone positive that Ali will take Jun to the end and not Robert? Why is she trying to get Jun to throw the HOH?

R151996

I also think that Jun really wants Ali to do her work for her. It might give Jun a vote (Robert's) but at the same time might cost her a vote or two. Ali wants to be the player in the F2 with 2 HOH's on the board. If Jun wins this HOH, Jun leads 2 HOHs to 1.

Ali wants the competition record to compare this way:
2 HOHs, 2 veto wins, and 2 luxury wins for Ali
1 HOH, 1 veto win, and 1 luxury 2nd place for Jun

I can't see Ali not taking Jun since Robert would have votes from Justin, Jee, Dana, and Jun (assuming she doesn't hate Robert too much). Erika could also be a wild-card in that scenario.
