Archive through September 26, 2003
Grooch | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 02:38 pm     Kitty, I'm wondering if Julie Chen was really pissed off about it and made Les Moonves repeat it over and over again as punishment. (Since they are supposedly having an affair, she could make him do it.) |
Yucktothehgs | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 02:41 pm     Well I'm sure not going to lose any sleep over her remark or anything else that was said on the show. Human's are funny people and say funny things. Sometimes not so funny things. Such is life. |
Kitty | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Yeah I thought that comment got too much mileage on it then it deserved. Well I hope this won't ruin Erika's image, I would like her to have some oppurtunties from this. Too bad they didnt air all the cuban comments, how ali wanted to spit in Roberts pancakes, what they thought of homosexuals... I could go on all day! Kitty |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 02:50 pm     You know, that really wasn't racist, as Julieboo pointed out. If Erika had said, "he's a Korean piece of s***, just like the rest of them", then that would be racist. |
Meggieprice | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 02:58 pm     Chippy- I thought the same thing- I thought Csnog was a Mod and for some reason had closed the thread! Obviously some folks wish to have this discussion. |
Earthmother | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 03:17 pm     Maybe Jun would be willing to pay for Erika to be deprogrammed!!!lol |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 03:25 pm     Erika needs to get on the immigrant boat returning to Asia and spend the next 10 years of her life apologizing to every single Asian person. They will love those knockers in Seoul. |
Emdanzma | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 03:43 pm     I don't recall this big uproar back when Erika actually said the comment and it aired. But since they pointed it out on the final show that is all people seem to care about. She was pissed off at Jee, not because he was Asian. People sometimes just spew whatever comes to their minds when they are angry enough. She didn't repeat it throughout the season like she really meant it or anything. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 03:59 pm     Emdanzma - I believe there was a huge uproar when Erika first said it....there was a long thread that got so involved and heated, it was moved to another section of the TVCH board! It had hundreds of posts, and lots of moderation, if I recall correctly. |
Pascalle | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:03 pm     I thought about why CBS decided to zero in on Erika for the last show and high light her comments, forcing her to make what looked like a very painful on air apology to Jee. Remember their audition tapes? Erika said "everyone hates/loves a bad girl? Can't remember if it was hate or love. The point is, CBS probably put her in the house on the basis of that tape and she didn't deliver. Ali on the other hand, not only delivered but basically carried the whole show, ratings wise. I think this was CBS's payback to Erika for deceiving them into thinking she was going to be more exciting than she turned out to be. I believe they made a point of this on the final show by high lighting her Asian remarks, thus forcing a live, on air , apology from her. They were sending her a message, so to speak. Those are my thoughts on this subject. |
Csnog | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:20 pm     Just where do you want Erika to apologize? Here? On national TV? She did that to Jee remember? How can you DEMAND an apology from someone you don't know. I said it before and I'll say it again. They were not saints, they were not perfect, they were game players trying to win a prize. I was put off by young women calling older men perverts each year just for being on the show but I don't think that Ali nor any other player owes me" an apology. These people offended each other and I watched how they accomplished their way of getting to the end. I may not have liked some of them but they owe me nothing. |
Sweetpea1994 | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:29 pm     I have to agree with the other posters, CBS did a great disservice to Erika (and Robert for that matter)by playing their comments on air. Why didn't Ali and Jun's comments about Cubans, F*** and little girls get on the air? |
Emdanzma | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:39 pm     Oh, thanks sanfranjoshfan. I must not have been reading the boards too closely at that time.  |
Earthmother | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:43 pm     Okay, so does she just have to apologize to Korean people or all Asians? How old is she? Csnog, if you have time after rounding up all the buzzards for inspection do you think you could take on this job, or are you busy for the next 150 years? If I recall it took 40 odd years for the US to apologize to the Japanese Americans.. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:44 pm     She needs to apologize for calling herself a "bad girl", then appearing on BB 4 without showing us her fun bags. What a gyp. |
Csnog | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:46 pm     Earthmother, I'm not that OLD but young people have high standards when it comes to other people. LOL |
Bonzacat | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:47 pm     Wood®, I think you are going to have to purchase a copy of Playboy to see her fun bags! |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:49 pm     No. I don't want to see them. If they aren't within the grasp of my soft, large hands, I don't really care. |
Bonzacat | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:51 pm     Please don't start talking about your soft, large hands...... this thread will leave the tracks, fast! |
Earthmother | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:52 pm     Wood, you are so good to yourself, you don't need a bad girl anyway, especially one who will be spending so much time away from you atoning for her sins. |
Pascalle | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:52 pm     Sweetpea. I tried to explain in my above post why I thought the Jun/Ali comments were not focused on by CBS. Ali and Jun basically gave CBS what they probably promised them they would.CBS had to be very happy at the controversy Ali and Jun stirred. If you are getting letters and email from the moral majority, chances are you are doing someething right in the world of television.(check Married with Children- it lasted 10 years or so). Erika did not give what she promised in her audition tape and CBS wanted to remind her of it. I believe that is why they focused on Erika's comments and not Jun and Ali's on the last show. Jun and Ali made CBS another summer hit. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:53 pm     Nice job of wording, Earthmother. I don't know what to say. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:55 pm     Actually Pascalle, we have no proof of that, but your theory seems very plausible. I'm buying. |
Earthmother | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:55 pm     GOTCHA!! I'm going to the Buzzard's threat and check on Csnog..we may have a mission |
Sweetpea1994 | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 04:58 pm     I am going to have to disagree Pascalle. I think CBS didn't want to taint their "winners" (I use that term loosely) any more than they already were. It's not really cool to give half a mil to someone who calls a little girl a b**** and disparages Cubans and homosexuals. |
