Gina, I ignored nothing. The "nice" was covered. As a matter of a fact, in the LFP's it looked like all they did was have a "nice" conversation. "I" balanced it. I did not need to recap the "nice" of that conversation because it had already been done. Not too hard to understand. And besides, the Jun comment about Erika bagging someone from the show is very telling to me and I felt is needed to be shared. To me it shows that it really did bother the other HG's that Erika dated someone from the show's past. Erika really could have been booted much earlier had Rob completely spilled the beans to the other HG's any sooner than he did.

Sorry for the O/T folks. I won't comment on it any more in here. I apologize again.

Even I give Ali more credit then to think she wont care a rat's behind about some things she and Jun said that may have offended many people. When all the money is gone I believe Ali will care.

Apparently during that time the negative comments far out weigh the positive ones. With these two honestly one does not need to cherry pick or highlight anything.

And for the record I have did live feed postings. If you pay me Prisonerno6 enough money I'll post LF's again. I'll charge $5.00 for every curse word. And any non curse words will be just a dollar. Sounds fair to you ? LOL

When I read the live feeds yesterday, the one poster (can't remember who) was calling the conversation "non-trash talking" and said that several times. Naja was simply filling in what was left out. I was listening and heard exactly what she posted so I was confused why the previous poster left it out of her report. I appreciated Naja's additions and they were direct quotes. And, I'd agree that there was some trash talking mixed in with innocuous conversation. The remark about Erika and JA was very telling IMO and was worth reporting. So, thanks Naja for filling in the blanks.

Chippy, I was listening too--heard it all. Naja only accurately posted what was said. I know from experience (BB3) that a poster can seldom get ALL of convos, just try their best so any omissions are understandable. But, if one hadn't been listening to the feeds and only relying on the LFPs, one would most likely believe that the convo between Jun and Ali was much more pleasant than it was, as if there was no "trash talking"---that was not the case.

It can be difficult for LFPers to remain completely objective about the hgs' comments and behaviors, despite an honest desire to do so. I don't intend to criticize any poster---the one who felt there wasn't trash talking may just hear it that way and post as such without realizing that others might interpret the convo in a different way. Naja wrote exactly what was said, not paraphrasing, and it was accurate.

Thanks to ALL the LFPers. It's a kind gesture to devote time and energy just so others can enjoy this crazy pasttime even more :).

Geeeeez, all I can think of to say to all this is I am really shocked that even the Live Feed Posts are edited or complained about. I thought that was one area on this board that was unfiltered. :(

So, essentially, the complainer from yesterday was complaining about the wrong thing. It was really the previous poster who only posted the nice parts of the conversation.
D*mn you people!! Must you only post positive things? What is wrong with you? I am sickened.

As I duck and cover: I am totally joking - so please don't take it the wrong way.

Well, I don't know how those LF posters do it. They manage to document so much of the goings on and conversations and even post some great screen caps. Most all of the posts are very objective (and some have some pretty funny editorial comments that I've lost some diet coke out my nose because of). SO, thanks to all of you and it sure never hurts to have a couple takes on one specific instance. I thank everyone who took the time to keep us all informed.

Hey Chippy I thought I was the only one spewing Coca-Cola out my nose. :) I agree the LFP are very entertaining.

Let me add my appreciation for the LF posters, too. I hope I didn't sound like I was slamming them or complaining about them, because that's not what I meant.

I meant that you do a great job and that it really surprises me that someone would analyze things that are being typed directly from the live feeds and blame the posters. I think it takes a lot to be good at live feed posting! I know because I tried it a few times in previous years and it takes a certain someone to do this, AND I appreciate it!

So, uh, back to the thread topic at hand...so, Ali's still sleeping...hmm...wonder why?

Debate on!!!

(Smokey, there's an appreciation thread for the LFP. You should post your comments there so that more LFP will see them. I'm sure they'll like it.) :)

Any Pittsburgh posters/lurkers in this thread?

Ali said a couple of things--yesterday and today--that I find puzzling.

Yesterday, she said that no restaurants in Pittsburgh had the kind of Asian food that she'd been introduced to in the BB house. Pittsburgh proper has over 50 Asian restaurants featuring every kind of cuisine. I'll bet there's 100 more Asian places in the 'burbs. At least a half dozen places have the word "sushi" in their names.

I know from enthusiastic and repeated personal exp. that Pittsburgh has excellent Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino. Thai, Indian and Korean restaurants. Jun and she discussed her statement (Jun said there MUST be some) for a min. & Ali was pretty insistent re. the lack of Asian food in P-burgh.

Today Ali declared Pittsburgh a "small town" where "everyone knows you if you walk into a bar." Pittsburgh has a pop. of about 335, 000, a symphony, a ballet, several art museums, three professional sports franchises, a cooking school, a design school, an art school, four major universities & several trade schools and community colleges, major computer, design and advertising firms, five television stations, several radio stations, many quaint and historical neighborhoods, an ethnically diverse population. By no measure, is it a small town. My thinking is that if you go into the same bar--out of literally hundreds of options--all the time, then everyone there will know you. I wonder if Ali realizes this?

What do these remarks say about Ali's view of the world? How has her (somewhat narrow?) view helped get her where she is as regards the game and how will it help/hinder her quest for the half-mill?

P.S. (to any Pittsburghers) - - I wonder if she knows about Primanti (sp?) Bros.?

"What do these remarks say about Ali's view of the world?"

That she has a very, very small view of the world.

Though, her experience in the BB house has opened the door to making if larger.

Guess what Wendo. I AGREE with your statement : ". . .her experience in the BB house has opened the door to making it larger" but I'll bet we disagree as to whether she'll walk through it or not. LOL

Isn't Alison from a small town outside of Pittsburgh? I thought she was referring to that town. A friend of hers did an interview and stated the town they are from is small and is going through hard economic times,and ALison being on the show has given the town a little publicity and may help with its economic future.

Alison is from Meadville, a small town near Pittsburgh. Alison specifically referred to Pittsburgh--"I'm so past Pittsburgh"--in both instances I cite. She has lived there for the better part of the last four years.

Uh oh, I think the town is in trouble if they are handing over their economic future to Ali :)

Honestly though, how did that friend think Ali's appearance on BB is going to help their economy? Kobe Bryant helped the economy in Co., but I'm pretty sure Ali isn't going to get that much press.

Kobe? are we comparing Alison with Kobe now?

Alison knew what filipino food was and wanted to order it. Jun was the HG who had no clue.

OOOpppsss! - no one wants to here that kind of balanced information here - it would be giving Alison a fair hearing. I know that is heavily discouraged here. And, when I've done it before I've been labeled an Alison fan because I believe in not bashing someone for something they are not even guilty of. My bad!

OFF WITH HER HEAD - SHE HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF INTERNATIONAL FOOD TYPES OR THE POSSIBILITY THAT SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BUY IT IN HER AREA!!! ONLY THE MOST HORRID HUMANS DON'T KNOW AND APPRECIATE SUSHI!! SHAME!!! SHAME!!! I THINK WE SHOULD ARRANGE A STONING!!!!!

There we go, that's more like it, I'm fitting in better already...
