Castalinas | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 02:23 am     Dana gives me the willies. I don't know why. At any rate I have to go to bed- this has been too much- good night C1. |
Riviere | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 04:00 am     I'm in agreement, Scott needed to be neutralized for his outburst and refusal to go to DR.. The only post I ever mentioned him, I called him overbearing and I was sick of his hat show.. I'd wondered why he needed to cover up his head all the time but the ailment he has explains it now.. Anyone who grew up in a house where chairs got thrown can tell you, physical violence only escalates! It starts with a minor thing like quiet seething anger and just staring daggers at someone, then maybe a chair is thrown, then the TV is tossed out a window, then you watch your Mom get beaten to a pulp and the creep turns on you saying if you say a word he'll kill you all, then he loses his job and handles that by coming home to beat up the whole family, kills the puppy and forbids kids age 6 and 10 to cry over it. So then he wondered why between sending Mom to the hospital and us to school with bruises people had started asking nosy questions? I truly hope that Scott gets help, and I'm very sad seeing Amanda put into that house.. She's the one who should walk out with pride telling BB to pack it! Scott never should have been chosen as a contestant.. BB never had casting wizards but this goes down in the TV hall of shame.. Before any of my kind fellow fans remind me, oh well, Scott apologized, duh, I have to say BB probably did make him do it and I grew up with similar apologies. They just don't always magically 'fix' damage, do they? Watching Scott gave me a creepy feeling, and that seems weird now since I'd pegged him as maybe a strong player like Erika who wouldn't take any crap or be that emotional, show no weaknesses.. Go figure within a week he's axed, but I won't miss him... |
Lostintheglades | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 04:45 am     Yes, he needed to go. Most injuries to others are due to someone's inability to control their anger. Whether in the form of spouse abuse, child abuse or road rage. He already had issues obviously and should never been allowed in the house to begin with. |
Neko | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:53 am     I just have a comment... Alison's freaking out over getting Scott's STD pissed me off. If she was so worried after finding out, she should have gone in the DR and found out all she could from them about how HPV is transmitted then she'd know it's called a "sexually" transmitted disease for a reason. I'm mean really, did she get NOTHING taught to her in school?? **Neko spent 1 month(or so) in PDR class learning about STD's** ((Found just to make sure I wasn't saying it wrong.. How is it transmitted? HPV is spread by skin-to-skin contact with an HPV-infected area, whether or not warts are visible. It can take weeks, months or years for genital warts to surface after sex with an infected person. So it is almost impossible to pinpoint when or who transmitted the virus. )) |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 06:02 am     It seems that some of the viewers are getting as hysterical as some of the houseguests. First off, who says they forced him out? He might have left voluntarily. I have read nothing that indicates anyone knows right now. Secondly, since when is throwing plastic chairs a sign that he is a 'serious danger'? Yes, it is violent, but he did not attack anyone -- and he could have chosen to do that. Thankfully he did not. I think it is possible he left voluntarily. His actions were far from those of Justin's. Third, what makes some viewers think Scott was NOT taking his medication for his clearly disclosed psychological condition? These accusations that Scott is 'lying' are out of line -- because we the viewers know nothing of the kind. I'm glad he's gone though, it's clear the show was bad for him. But I don't think he is the only one for whom the show is negative, and other people might crack -- Allison, for one, is very likely to crack up. |
Saphyre | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 07:25 am     I'm not sure whether he should have been taken out or not, since I didn't see the chair throwing and don't know what happened that led to the chair throwing. I do know about hpv though and for them to be that worried about it is crazy because it does have to spread by skin to skin contact. The thing about hpv is that there are numerous strains of it, only one that causes genital warts and over 85% of sexually active people already have a strain of hpv as most hpv does not have any symptoms. The strain that causes genital warts is low risk and not associated with the strains that cause various types of cancer in women (not just the cervix, but from the cervix out). The type that cause cancer generally have no symptoms until dysplasia appears on women (rare that men get it, they are usually just carriers) and there is no test available to test if someone has hpv. Hpv tends to lie dormant until the person's body is in the right mode for it to become active, such as a lowered immune system. So Scott was right that they can't catch genital warts from him, well unless he has sex with someone. As to hpv, more than likely some of the hamsters already have it from previous contacts and are unaware and whether it develops into something else later really will depend on their own body's immune system. Sorry didn't know where else to throw this in, but wanted to explain hpv better, from someone who has personally dealt with cancer as a result of hpv that I was probably exposed to years ago. |
Sisalou | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 07:27 am     I think its for the best that Scott is gone. The whole x situation was way too stressful for him. I do feel bad for him though. But, holy crap, those girls are driving me nuts! Bawling and squalling and throwing up! Give me a break. |
Castalinas | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 07:30 am     I don't like Allison's behavior either but I have to totally agree with Riv. I stated awhile ago that I thought Amanda was in danger outside the house from Scott and I stand by that. If she see's him when this is over, she will be in great danger.She seems to think he is harmless and that's what most women think until the 1st blow.My good friend and neighbor almost died at the hands of her husband who she dated for 2 years, He never laid a hand on her until after the marriage. mho |
Amac | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 07:38 am     Scott deliberately and defiantly broke BB rules and on those grounds his expulsion was completely justified. |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 08:10 am     All I have to say, is that he should never have been put in there. The Producers are totally at fault here. He has obvious psychological problems, and to put someone into a pressure cooker when they are already a ticking timebomb is reckless. |
Missy2 | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 08:25 am     so is scott gone or not? and what is all this talk about hpv?? whats going on ?? |
Castalinas | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 08:33 am     Oh Missy, I don't have the strengh.(SP) |
Maris | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 08:36 am     Missy - remember BB2 and Wills Cancer story, That was nothing compared to what Scot came up with last night. |
Azriel | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 08:42 am     Missy read the Scott is losing it thread. It explains it all. |
Kmjm | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 08:50 am     Actually, I'm pretty sure I heard Scott say at one point that he didn't tell the producers about his anxiety problems and lied to them about what he was taking the meds for. I think it was when he was telling Amanda why he behaved badly toward the end of their relationship, and that he was all better now. (Not!) Still, I don't think it would take much for a psychologist to figure out he has problems. They walk a fine line in casting these shows. They want people who are a bit off, the well-adjusted ones don't make for good drama. But messing with people's real lives by bringing in the exes just isn't fair. It's supposed to be a game! Having said that, I guess they had to remove Scott. I do feel sorry for the guy, however. |
Indybarb | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 08:55 am     I would just like to say.... I would not want my daughters in a house (or anywhere) with a guy like that...... |
Trini | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 09:03 am     I didn’t see any of it, but I’ll tell you what I observed during the day on Saturday or Friday evening. Some time during the time I saw him he looked anxious. He paced back and forth, he stood in front of one of the mirrors staring at himself, 3 times he lifted his T-shirt and stared at his stomach area, he then sat down on the floor and did sit-ups. Later on Saturday after he woke up he had PB&J and was talking to Jack. After he showered and while still talking to Jack he suddenly remembered this “Oh! I forgot to take my medication” and immediately rushed indoors, I guess to take his meds. Though I referred to him as I am sorry to see him go if he has gone that is. He definitely would have added something to the game.. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 09:22 am     Comparing him to Justin from bb2 and how long they took to throw him out, I would say no, what he did didn't warrant it. But if we take into account the amount of times this show has been sued, I would say he had to go. They are more trigger happy now. However, it is their own fault for putting people in volatile situations. Mere interviews will never tell you the true nature of a relationship. Do you think people are going to tell you they were abusive with an ex? Not saying Scott was, it was just an example. The producers took these ex's for their word in the ultimate "he said/she said." Of course the HGs answered in a way they sounded completely rational about their exs. They never thought they'd show up in the BB house and be faced with their past. Shame on CBS and Arnold. They meesed with fire... |
Redstar | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 09:36 am     WOW! I go help my daughter clean and paint in her new house, and of course I miss the drama. Scott had to go. His actions may not have been directed at anyone, and he may not have been an imminent danger to anyone, but it seems like it was a violent and out-of-control incident. If this had happened in week eight and the person was otherwise known by the other HGs to be a generally calm and rational person, then I might agree with the posters who are saying the chair thrower wasn't violent directly towards someone and shouldn't have to leave. However, this happened on day seven. Although certain HGs were perhaps dramatizing their worry about his mental state, that doesn't mean that they didn't have genuine concerns. If I were in the house and faced with the prospect of weeks and weeks with someone who was throwing chairs in anger after only seven days, I'd be saying "Either he's leaving or I am." It was a public display of anger. He could have gone to his bedroom by himself and punched out a pillow. Heck, he could have put on the boxing gloves and taken it out on the punching bag. Those would have been more rational ways to relieve his anger. BTW, Maris, the thought crossed my mind, too, that the genital warts could be a story - a bit of revenge by Scott on the way out of the house. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 09:54 am     It sounds like Amanda knew about the std and I don't see her going along with a story that is untrue. It has hurt her chances almost as much as it hurt Scott. |
Bbfan05 | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:15 pm     Okay, I missed A LOT. I know Scott is gone now, and that on the feeds since like wednesday Jun and Ali and everyone was hating him, but what happened yesterday or today that made BB step in? What happened that pushed him over the edge and the other HGs vote to DQ him? And what about the VD and the reason his head is shaved? |
Woodpecke® | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:20 pm     His head is shaved because he's balding, he wears a stocking cap because he thinks it's cool, and he got warts because he didn't use a flashlight. |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:22 pm     Sadly it seems that Scott was COVERING the wrong HEAD! |
Bbfan05 | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:23 pm     Okay....I don't get the flashlight thing, but what about the other stuff? Thanks Wood! |
Cinder | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:24 pm     BBfan05- you can catch up by reading the thread "Scott is losing it." |
