Cliotheleo | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:43 am     Lurk ........ he was 16 or whatever at the time and I'm sure she was just as cute then as now. He wasn't old enough to want anything more than fluff back then. |
Kristylovesbb | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:44 am     Throw a temper tantrum no, cry yes. I think she will be in shock and disoriented at first because Julie is going to make it seem, at first, that Erika will be going out. I think it will take a few seconds before Michelle realizes she will be the one leaving. The only temper tantrums to be thrown will come from Jee and Robert! |
Meggieprice | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:44 am     Michelle? I don't think she will have a tantrum. Now Jee? He very well might! |
Laisey | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:45 am     Clio, lol. That's what I meant all right. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:50 am     I don't see 19 year olds as children, she is a young adult now. She could have added more if she had wanted to, instead she chose to be expendable. |
Laisey | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:59 am     Let's not forget Michell was recruited. Who knows what the AS team led her to expect and how much of a selling job they did. They needed ex's and in spite of her age, she met the requirement of being blonde. |
Cangaroo | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:05 am     I think she will pout and cry...and what's with her DR entry? Her saying she's so naive and innocent...since when do naive and innocents have to tell people they are just that? It's sort of like she's telling everybody she is...either as a strategy for them to go easier on her or that she's trying to convince them she's not as worldly as she may truly be. The people I know that are truly naive and innocent don't know that they are (hence truly being innocent!) to inform others of that fact. |
Cherokeerosa | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:06 am     While I don't think Michelle will throw a tantrum tonight, I honestly wish some houseguest would. Can you imagine Arnie's head imploding when Robert's evicted and a stream of profanities explode from the upper lift that never moves???? Poor Arnie would be powerless to do anything but watch the FCC violations roll in as the profanities went out over live TV and I'd love it.... |
Meme9 | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:10 am     Sweet,naive, and innocent is not what I would say...helpless, yes helpless I think fits. |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:12 am     Cross I think it's not so much the chronological age issue but the maturity factor. At 19 I was significantlly more mature, but that was a combination of how I was raised and my Dad dying at 17 (that's one way to grow up fast and learn the difference between real problems and teenage crap). I think she is just a VERY young, immature 19 who hopefully will hit some life experiences and grow up. Part of my problem with a lot of the other HG's is that even though they are older, not many seem to come with life experiences and interesting stories...and those that do have no one to talk to them about lol. PS forgot to say I agree with you Leo! |
Muse | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:20 am     I think Michelle will just be in shock. But if she does cry (which I'm not sure she will), I think she'll still just go and then pull it together in the studio. Well, until the goodbye videos, at least. I don't think she'll yell or get outright angry, though. Not in her nature. She's more of a pouter/crier. I'll feel a little bad for her if she gets upset, but not a whole lot. I think she'll bounce back from the whole thing pretty quickly (within a day or so), and maybe grow up a little from the whole experience. Jee and Robert are going to be REALLY angry, though. Justin a bit less so. Dave and Jack especially should watch their back. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:23 am     Well, I can certainly relate to having Dad dying young as I had the same experience (also 17). Anyway, as I said in my message, she is a big girl, OR this will be one of those stepping stones, certainly a more graceful one than ours. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:26 am     Wow..my dad died when I was 17 too. Maybe that's why we don't feel like she is very "young". And yes Crossfire..this will be a more graceful one than ours. |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:50 am     Yikes soooo sorry to hear I had so much company here on this. I just hope in Michelle's mind she doesn't perceive this as a "tragedy." She seems very sheltered and spoiled, and I could see that happening. Of course to differentiate a major dissapoint from a true tragedy regretfully often takes living both and learning the differece. So sorry we seem to be experts on this here. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:59 am     Yeah, you do make some good points there. I guess I should cut the younger folks a bit more slack. Having said that though...(jeez, I never stop it seems.) She should have a good support system backing her up to get through whatever happens. I know that is something I've missed more than once. |
Soonergirl | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 01:10 pm     She will perform what Oprah calls "The Ugly Cry." This is when the bottom of your mouth pulls down on both sides and you bottom teeth are bared. It won't be pretty. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 01:20 pm     LOLOL, Sooner - sadly, I will now probably bust a gut if she actually does that. More shame on me for laughing at the poor girl's misery. |
Izzywhat | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 03:37 pm     I think Michelle will be shocked, look at Jee and say, "I told you I didn't want to be a pawn!" Then she'll hug everyone and everyone will cry. She'll do okay during the interview and her parents will be able to calm her down. I think the best news she's going to get is when her parents tell her how much everyone wanted to save her with the POV, but Jee3 would not allow it. She'll be comforted to know everyone really liked her afterall. |
R151996 | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 04:06 pm     Let's hope they show goodbye videos from Ali and David that aren't too heavily edited. Those are the two HGs Michelle really trusts--she and the audience need to hear from them most. Once Michelle realizes what the Jee Stooges pulled in not allowing Erica to be vetoed and replaced by Dana, that will help. There better not be a twist revealed later where the POV holder or the HG removed from the block makes the replacement nomination instead of the HoH. That would be very unfair to Michelle since it would have guaranteed Dana (or maybe Robert if Erica had the pick) leaving tonight instead. |
Texasdeb | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 04:16 pm     Michelle will handle this as mature as possible for her. I think she'll really make an effort. She was so scared when Jee told her he was putting her up as a pawn. The Jee3 wouldn't listen to her objections - who will she hate - IMO, nobody more than Jee3. I don't think she'll see goodbye videos from these 3 because what they prob. said has nothing to do w/the possibility that she would ever see the videos. I do think she connected in a let's be friends way with everyone except the Jee3. She will realize this. |
Earthmother | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:00 pm     I would not expect less from her than a tantrum..she's had one any other time things haven't gone her way. |
Costacat | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:46 pm     Nope. She did not have a tantrum. Good for her! Tears during the prerecorded goodbyes, but that's to be expected (heck, sometimes *I* tear up at those!). |
Sunni | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:50 pm     I think Michelle did as well as I expected. She was shocked and upset. I was hoping Dave would put in that he tried to save her, hopefully her Dad will clue her in. |
R151996 | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:07 pm     And--with the major exception of Jun--that was about the best set of goodbyes that have ever been used for an eviction. I don't like many of the things these producers do, but kudos as they and Julie tried to go as easy on Michelle as possible. Who knows what was actually recorded for Michelle but was cut in the editing room. |
Jadar | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:28 pm     I just teared up when Michelle left. What a sweet girl. Torn up whether it was better or not for her to leave early for her sake. Just didn't like the way people used her like that, esp. Nate and Alison. Treated her like they were her staunchest protectors, then stabbed her in the back with the biggest smiles. Justin looked pissed when the votes came out. |
