Earthmother | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 11:56 am     The girls voice annoys the hell out of me, but she knows how to play this game. I like Erika cuz she's been sweet, but sweet don't win BB (unless you're dumb like last years hgs). There is no doubt in my mind that Ali and Jun will be the finishers and though they have never been my favorite people they have been the smartest. I would probably vote for Ali at the end only because she really did play better..she controlled her own destiny and didn't rely on someone else to win the comps and carry her. The only time she got any real help was when Nate won the pov and she mangaged to manipulate a save for herself. |
Jagger | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:00 pm     I like the way Ali has played the game, she has done what she needed to to keep herself in the game. Since Dave got the boot she is the only one that is really entertaining, she makes it fun to watch the show. If it weren't for her the BB house would be about as exciting as watching paint dry. |
Eliz87 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:34 pm     I don't understand all the animosity toward Ali. Admittedly, I couldn't stand her at first, but she's grown on me. She's playing the game the best she can and as far as her comments go, she just needs a little time to mature. I think she's a good person at heart. I really do. |
Busydizzle | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Nice to see some Ali-love! Thanks for the comments on my post. |
Wendo | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 02:14 pm     Oh, I dig Ali too. I wouldn't play the game as she has, however, she's got that "never give up" spirit. She could've easlily let herself be down for the count when Rob nominated her. Instead, she told him, to his face, that she WILL win the POV. And dang if that girl didn't. If Ali were to win the next HOH, ensuring a spot in the F2, I have to say I would vote her to win. The girl has literally pulled herself through this game. Yes, Jun has played a very similar game, however Jun has relied on others to be her shield. I just like those HG's that play the game out. As to the anti-Ali slant, eh, don't worry about it. Ali's an easy HG's to love to hate. I'll admit, what I've seen of her on the show isn't my cup of tea. But I expect that Ali went in there completely unemotional with the one goal of getting to F2. I think I said in another thread a few days back. While some HG's play with emotion and it can bog them down, I don't understand why those HG's that choose to play UNEMOTIONALLY get knocked. Oh well, different strokes for different folks. |
Meggieprice | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 03:31 pm     I came here to say the one thing I like most about Ali is that if she wins my good friend Wendo will be happy and that will make me happy- and lo and behold she was the last one to post here, lol! This will keep me from being totally bummed if she wins. |
Texasdeb | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 05:27 pm     If Ali gets the final HOH, she DESERVES the win! I'm not a fan, but the girl has given us entertainment! |
Wendo | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 05:37 pm     LOL Meggie. Actually, I'll be happy with whomever wins, frankly. After being so disappointed last year, I've chosen to take a more "broad" view of the game. Therefore, not get to attached to one specific HG. Perhaps the best way to say it would be this; should Ali win BB, I would not be disappointed as others have said they would. (It surprises me when I read posts where people declare that if Ali wins, they won't watch BB again. I say "Huh?" to that. LOL!) |
Elms | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:41 pm     Another Ali fan here. I get a kick out of watching the girl in action. While I have cringed at some things she has done/said, she knows how to play this game. She knows how to play the people she needs to play and when to do it. These HG's KNOW she can't be trusted, yet they always fall for her talk (at least enough to land themselves in trouble, if not out the door). And she does this while still managing to yank her butt off the fire (more than once!) when she herself is in danger of being evicted. If I were on the jury, she'd get my vote. |
Meggieprice | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:50 pm     LOL! We are ALL going to watch BB, and we know it. I can't imagine basing it on who wins. My fave left when Dave left. This year has been exciting- yeah, I would have liked a more homogenous group but lets face it- we could never be sure week to week what would happen- and that is way cool. I also agree that Ali has done so much to get herself here that if she gets to final two she would be robbed if she doesnt win against anyone but Jun- that should be a close one. |
Elms | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 02:03 am     I loved watching Ali and Jun while they were having their little blimp adventure. It was nice seeing both of them (especially Ali) remove their minds from the game. They were focused on having fun and it showed. |
Watching2 | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:42 am     After last night's show, I'm even more impressed with Ali's game playing abilities. She was so focused on that veto competition! Then, she went through that obstacle course like it was nothing! I still don't understand why Danielle had so many fans last year "for playing the game" and everyone is ripping Ali apart for doing the same thing. Dani had kids at home, a husband and a heck of a lot more years on Ali as I stated previously. She also kept pegging herself as this great Christian, so I was totally disgusted with her antics. So why did everyone love Danielle and everyone hates Ali? I don't get it. After listening to Erika with Robert and who she's been talking about her supposed "girl team", I'm starting to hope Ali takes Jun on to the final three. Jun has moved up in my book and Erika has moved down. Ali deserves all the props anyone is willing to give her. Other years, strong players like her would have been targeted to be evicted far earlier in the game. She also hasn't hid what she was doing as Dani did. They know what a strong player she is and they haven't been able to evict her. As much as I hated seeing Nate leave, what did people expect Ali to do when we all knew Dana was after her? Besides, she did me a favor sending her out of the house. If anyone's voice and antics were annoying, it was Dana's! Congratulations on a game well-played so far Ali! I hope people can actually judge just how hard you played and put emotions aside, but that's not all that likely. Ali has made this year exciting at times. I can't imagine how boring it might have been without her. |
Katta | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:06 am     Ya gotta hand it to her... Ali is AWESOME at playing this game. She has far outplayed every single other player in BB4. |
Busydizzle | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 07:04 pm     A great thing about Ali is that she knows exactly what many of you think about her (she said as much on the last show) and she doesn't care. She shouldn't have to conform to any moral standard but her own and I am glad that she has that kind of independence and confidence. Of course she has her faults, but so do the other HG's and so do we all. Who's to say if her behavior in the house isn't all strategy? Doubtful, but possible. And even if she is being "herself" 100%, I've heard and seen little that I haven't already heard and seen from other BB cast members. (She also hasn't been throwing chairs or brandishing knives, either!) Maybe Ali and the others will use this as a learning experience. Especially being in her early twenties, she most of all has the most time to mature and grow. But I find nothing evil in this young woman and that is a very harsh word to throw around so casually. Name-calling and lying aren't nice (IMO), but it is a stressful game and I think they are all smart enough to realize that and not take things as personally. Hope that made sense. (GO ALI!) |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Busy, I HOPE she doesn't care and it's not just a defense mechanism. Everybody hurts. |
Busydizzle | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:41 pm     Good point, Clio. I wish I were one of those people that could let others' opinions of me just slide off my back. I'm getting there, though! |
Watching2 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:44 pm     WOW!!! An Ali FAN thread actually still exists!! ROFL I feel like I should hide under my computer desk sometimes when I'm reading some of the other threads. hehehe Clio, I hope she doesn't care either, but I think most people do "sting" even if the things said about them are not really about who they really are anyway. Maybe we should have this thread copied and sent to her? GO ALI. Yes, there are people who appreciate how you've played this game! Whew... I feel better now. |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:46 pm     But I don't think ANYONE is really like that, they just say they are. To me, one of the saddest moments this whole season whas Dana hearing about Scott calling her and her saying, "it doesn't really mean anything ........... does it?" and that SAD look she had on her face. I just wanted to reach through that screen and hug her she looked so sad. From that point on, no matter what she did, I had nothing but sympathy for her. |
Scbookworm | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 10:06 pm     Count me among the Ali fans - in spite of myself. While I don't always like what she does, I have to give her credit for NEVER quitting even when it looked as though all was lost. I find her very amusing even when I find her appalling. What a contradiction, but true. She has been great entertainment. I mmight prefer Erika as a friend, but Ali gets my vote for game-playing this year. Thought I would post this here and bring the thread back in view. Everyone is so busy on the Ali debate thread, that maybe some don't even remember this one exists. LOL! |
Watching2 | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 10:16 pm     LOL I hear ya Scbookworm. It's good to find another "Ali thread" for refuge. |
Bondmaiden | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 03:51 pm     Nobody has to apoligize for liking Ali. If you're gonna be a dog- be a big dog( I mean that in the nicest way Ali). The Ali detractors have tried to put us down and it didn't work. Where are they now? Slithering off into their dark corners, I imagine. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:00 pm     Now Bondmaiden. We can be fans of Ali and post nice comments about her here. No need to comment on her detractors. Better to post positive vibes for Ali to do well than negative things. Okay? And, I feel no need to apologize for liking Ali's game play either. Like I wrote before, the girl is a pitbull; going all out to get to the final 2. Go Ali! |
Bondmaiden | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:24 pm     Spelling error- apologize. Go all the way Ali - HELL Yeah! |
Bondmaiden | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:34 pm     bump this- go Ali! |
Kmjm | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:44 pm     Whatever else i might think of Ali, she's got some smarts. She figured out the riddle again today! |
