Spunky | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:57 am     I mean, she may be expecting the 50k but may still be hoping for some votes. I read several comments here and many think she will get 0 votes. Could that be a humbling experience for Ali and make her realize that she may win 50k but she did not win the respect of the Jury and maybe of the majority of the audience. I don't think it should go 7-0 for Jun. I gave it a ratio of 4-3, but still for Jun to win. But if it's 7-0 I can't imagine how she'll keep smiling. Even Danielle self-control was not enough last year and she did show she was upset. I'm just curious to see Ali's reaction. |
Rainwoman | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:08 am     I don't think Alison will get 0 votes, although that would be nice. I think Robert would vote for Alison to win over Jun, and I have absolutely no sympathy for Alison for anything bad that happens to her. |
Spunky | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:18 am     I thought so too. Unless the Jury gets a consensus to vote unanimously, I can't see how Ali ends up with 0 votes. But that scenario would keep me glued to the tv to see if Ali crumbles after all... I noticed however that she took the nominations with a lot of grace and kept her cool in a way I couldn't. So, it's possible that she'll be all smiles again..(even if it hurts) |
Crazydog | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:25 am     Of course she won't be hurt. If there's one thing I've learned about Alison, it's that she thinks her poop does not stink. The girl believes that nothing she does is wrong, and is so self-centered that she will manage to turn everything into a comment about her. Alison wins the game? Wow, they love me so much. I am the greatest thing ever. How could you not love me? I am so cute and sweet. I'm everybody's dream. Jun wins 7-0? Wow, they must really fear me. They have such respect for me. I'm such a strong person. I am the greatest thing ever. I'm so glad that I instilled such fear into so many people. Either way, Alison will come out of this game with a bigger ego than ever before. |
Creampuff | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:25 am     It's sad that most of us are in the position of having to choose the lesser of two evils as the ultimate winner. If so it should be a definite wake-up call for Alison to receive a vote of 7-0. Will she heed it? Most likely NOT! It does bother me that in that case Jun will get the 500K windfall since I am not one bit fond of her either. I just need to keep reminding myself that 'what goes around comes around'. |
Bohawkins | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:26 am     I can't see anyone voting for Alison. I do think Robert's threats were real and if he has a chance to have any contact with the others he will campaign against her. However, I think his efforts are not needed. I don't think she has an friend on the jury. Alison will go on to pose in the girly mags, so she will get a few more dollars. Jun will pose as well. They have both indicated that posing nude for Playboy is in their plans. |
Elms | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:27 am     I don't see it being 7-0. Alison will get votes. How many and from whom is up in the air still. Gut feeling tells me this vote will be closer than some appear to think it will be. |
Elms | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:31 am     Bohawkins, according to Robert's parting words (on the CBS site) he wants Ali to win. And thinks she will. Last I heard, Ali said she would not do Playboy. She did say she would do Maxim though. |
Spunky | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:31 am     Oh Crazy... I could believe Ali to react just like you said, but I could still doubt she really really feels that way, maybe it's an act and deep down she is seething... |
Crazydog | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:33 am     Yes, exactly Spunky. Even if seething inside, there's no way she would ever admit it. She is going to rationalize her loss so somehow she comes out smelling like roses. |
Blurose | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:03 am     Do any of you remeber Ali saying in a show that her parents are poor, or she had to suffer. On the last show they showed her parents and well I think they look well off and also being able to have Ali in Beauty Pagents that cost money too. So what is she talking about having to suffer. I hope Ali does only get the 50K because even though I don't like Jun, Jun has a little more character about her. So now that I only get to choose between Ali or Jun. I will Choose Jun to win. The vote will go 4 Jun and 3 for Ali. Robert - Ali Jee - Ali Nathan - Ali Dana - Jun Erica - Jun Jack - Jun Justin - Jun |
Creampuff | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:08 am     The two of them have 6 more days (including today) to retrospectively critique their performance in this 'it's just a game' experience. I like that! If I faced the same, I would probably run through a gamut of emotions given the various interactions I was involved in. Depending how truthful I was to myself and how much responsibility I was willing to take for my own particular actions would lead me to know my personal answer to how I played the game. And of course that in itself would determine my feeling as to how I viewed the votes. I do hope BB doesn't give numerous perks to them this week . . . I would rather see and hear what is going on with each of them in a not too comfortable remainder of their time. |
Monalisahi | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:12 am     Blu, I think Ali ended up saying her dad made around $100,000. Her mom is a teacher, so you can easily add in another $30,000. That's just if we go by what she says, so is it true? My guess is no.....LOL. |
Marzz | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:15 am     Bluerose, Just curious how Ali's parents looked well off. I don't know if they are or not, just wondering what you saw that made them look well off. |
Cjeanne | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:35 am     ali derserves what she get because she was a evil backstabber and mean about it....In the past most of the winners have been backstabbers but she takes the cake she is not only a backstabber but a nasty mean one...I don't like Jun either but out of these two she is the winner |
Cjeanne | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:36 am     Ali is a little spoiled brat and needs to be put in her place....2nd place |
Katlady53 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:43 am     I don't think Ali will learn a thing WHEN she comes in second--not even if she doesn't get a vote. She obviously does not care about other people's opinions of her. |
Carrie92 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:46 am     Ditto, Cjeanne. But, I still don't think she'll "get it". Mommy and Daddy will take her back home and reassure her that the world still revolves around her. |
Way2prissy | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:46 am     In spite of what I've read on some other threads, I do not consider Ali a winner for making in to the final two. She went in the house to win 500K but she's probably leaving with the consolation prize of 50k. I've read a lot of comments on other threads that Ali "knows how to play the game" etc. If she knew how to play the game--she would win by a 7-0 vote. I think we ALL know that is NOT going to happen. She didn't "play the game"...she played the houseguests. There is a huge difference. I don't think Jun deserves the 500k but she is definitely the lesser of two evils. Since she managed to offend fewer houseguests, she probably is leaving with the 500k. |
Way2prissy | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:49 am     I also think Jun will win by a 7-0 vote. (forgot to put that on my previous post--talking about Ali got me all fired up!) |
Katlady53 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:53 am     Lol Way2prissy! I'm afraid to say that Ali won't get Nate's vote <shrug>, but I think Jun will get everybody else's vote. I agree with you about how Ali "played the game." IMHO playing the game well doesn't mean that offending and angering every evicted HG makes you a winner. |
Sherri | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:55 am     I don't think that Ali will get it at all, and I think it will really tick her off, but don't know that she will show it to any great extent. She has an extremely strong will in handling her emotions outwardly when on display. Marzz - I don't know how Bluerose came to their conclusion, but my daughter has a friend who has participated in pageants and the cost involved is extremely high. Don't know if she had sponsors or whatever, but the amount of money the parents have to put into a child participating in pageants is huge. |
Way2prissy | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:59 am     Thanks Katlady! Everyone at my work says Ali knows "how to play the game." Everytime I hear that it just makes my skin crawl! If Nate votes for Ali, I will be devastated. He seems to have learned a hard less from his alliance with her. I hope he doesn't cave! |
Gina8642 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 10:02 am     I'll be more shocked than Alison if she receives zero votes. However, if that somehow happens, I think she'll be just fine. Last year, everyone expected Danielle to freak out - never happened. I don't think Ali will freak out either. |
Sweetpea1994 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 10:02 am     I don't think she will care. She will twist it and rationalize it in her own mind until she becomes the victim. It won't be her fault, they are all just jealous because she played a better game than they did. |
