Hamsterlady | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 07:59 pm     Well, this debate is over I'd imagine. |
Meggieprice | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 08:05 pm     I think from the sound of it (West Coast here) Ali got a taste of what awaits her now that it is over. And she doesn't even have the big $$$ to make it all worth it. |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 08:07 pm     I have to hand it to Ali. In the end, she managed to keep that pageant queen smile plastered on her face, even while she was being slammed right and left. |
Coffee | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 08:25 pm     Yes, this is over - something to be thankful for. I enjoyed Ali's fake smile when she realized she was 2nd. Also glad to hear that enjoyment was taken away from both of them because of what the jury was saying when voting. Just a question -can you imagine the words coming from Ali's mouth now because Jun beat her? |
Katlady53 | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Coffee, at least Ali can say whatever she's saying now in the comfort and safety of her parents' arms....and naturally, they will agree with everything she says. Lol |
Cousin_Jake | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 08:46 pm     I think the stress of the last few days really got to Ali - was it just me or did she look awful in the final diary room sessions and tonight? |
Azriel | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:01 pm     Alison lost because she took her game face off before the game was over. When the jury was asking her questions she sounded so arrogant and superior. She should have kept using what got her to the place she was at. She should have bat her eyes and told them that she wanted to win so badly that she used everything she had. Instead of telling them she 'deserved' to win because she won comps she should have told them that she worked hard to win the comps because she wanted to win so badly. It was her delivery that turned them off and lost it for her. |
Wahmmy | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:09 pm     And isn't it good that she lost! I feel like the season was salvaged albeit Jun WAS the lesser of the two evils. |
Boberg | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:14 pm     Many here have used Dana's words.."lesser of two evils" Now how many of us would have thought we'e be thinking like Dana by the time this was all over...LOL |
Woodpecke® | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:16 pm     Alison lost because of her behavior during the entire game, including the Diary Room. It had nothing to do with the jury questions. |
Csnog | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:21 pm     No wood. Ali lost cause she went around touching" it all the time with everyone while Jun didn't. LOL |
Steveh | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:27 pm     Was I the only one who thought, about half-way through tonight's show, that Ali was going to win. In fact, I was almost sure of it. It looked like Robert and Jack were definitely going to vote for her and Jee seemed to be leaning that way, as was Erica. Even Dana said that A might win (I know that could have been a fake on D's part.). Wha' happen? |
Csnog | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:33 pm     Dana wanted a New Yorker to win Jack said all along he would vote for JUN Jee knows some of the same family and friends. Erika felt Ali stabbed her in the back. Justin told them all that Ali lied all the time The one I was surprised at was Roberts vote because he hated Jun. Nathan is out in cyberspace. Who knows. |
Clubcarl | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:37 pm     Steveh, while watching I thought the same thing. But gleefully exclaimed that there was right in this world when Jun won. Albeit, my cat freeked but that's ok. |
Boberg | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:41 pm     Me too Steveh but I kept remembering that BB always steers us in the wrong direction and once again... Great finale this year! Steveh thanks for teaching me about pyrrhic victories this year! |
Steveh | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:47 pm     Boberg - I just posted about your pyrrhic victory mention in another thread. I didn't teach you anything. You saw the word and took it from there. Self-taught. The best way. |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 09:52 pm     "BB deducts their stipend from their winnings." I have never heard this. Wahmmy said, "And isn't it good that she lost!" She lost? I believe she took second place and 50 grand. The other 10 lost. I think Ali was genuinely happy for Jun that she won. Sure, I'm sure she's disappointed she didn't take home the big bucks, but she did give Jun a hug as they were heading out of the house (Jun to see Bob, Ali to see her parents.) No breakdown, no freak out, etc. |
Melfie1222 | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 10:21 pm     Yes, Ali lost... how many times did she say in the diary room that she was going to be the winner? 2nd place and $50,000 is not winning to Ali. I for one wanted her to make it to the final two, just so I could watch her lose to whoever else was there... anyone. |
Meggieprice | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 10:32 pm     Wendo- I think Ali is probably devastated that she did not win. It was her raison d'etre the entire time- and she is going to have a really hard time for a bit, IMO. Much of what she did was justified by eye on the prize. |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 10:49 pm     Wood, I don't know. You don't think Ali telling Erika that she (Erika) rode on her (Ali's) coattails might have persuaded Erika to change her vote? Jun's answers sure didn't help her any. But Ali's possibly hurt her. |
Woodpecke® | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 10:57 pm     You may be right about that one, Mona. It was all so weird, I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. |
Caycaye | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:07 pm     Yeah, Ali had that pageant-girl congrats look and smile....but I agree with you Melfie1222 and Meggieprice...Ali will NOT be happy tonight...she HAS to ultimately win or ELSE... and I do think she did things in this game that she never has done before...I will give her that...maybe she will learn a lesson that compromising your character and disrespecting people for money is just not going to pay off in the end. |
Tobor7 | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:20 pm     Ali is the most lady-like woman to ever appear on any TV show. EVER! |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:22 pm     Wood, I'm just glad we finally got to see something honest and real. But I also have to laugh, with the editing that's been done, I wonder if this was the "nicest" they could come up with.....LOL. |
Monalisahi | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:23 pm     <climbing back into my chair after reading Tobor's post> |
