He was still holding onto the delusional thought that if he voted for Ali and she won, she'd buy him a car!

LOL, silly boy. She lied, she lied, she lied.

He said when he pulled his key (having voted before seeing the tapes, but pulling the key afterward) he said that he was disappointed and he had expected that behavior (or whatever his exact words were) from Jun but not from Alison. When he voted, he had no idea the measures she went through to get where she was.

Stint on reality show leads to opportunities
2003-09-26
By Penny Soldan
The Oklahoman


Nathan Marlow of Edmond spent 37 days on "Big Brother 4," the CBS reality series which brought together 13 strangers for a summer of seclusion in a house full of television cameras.
He didn't win the show's $500,000 grand prize as he had hoped, but he can't complain.

Come Monday, Marlow will tape a guest appearance for the show "Yes, Dear" (the episode will air in late October). And he's been hearing buzz about a possible soap opera stint.

"I'm enjoying my 15 minutes of fame, and I plan on using every minute of it," he said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. "I haven't had a chance to talk to too many people, but I've already got a couple of gigs lined up. And I'm meeting with agents next week."

Marlow, who graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in May and has been working as a personal trainer for YMCAs in Edmond and Oklahoma City, has decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

But the first week in October is reserved for family and friends, as Marlow will reunite with his family Oct. 1 and celebrate his 24th birthday Oct. 2 in his hometown of Fort Gibson.

As for friends in the "Big Brother" house, Marlow did make some. But he doesn't count the show's two finalists, Jun Song and Alison Irwin, among them.

Jun walked away with the grand prize. Alison received $50,000 as runner-up.

"It was devastating to see what those girls were all about," Marlow said. "For Ali to go into the diary room and deceive me like that hurt the most. I could see Jun doing it because she would tell you what she thought upfront. But I can't respect either of them."

So why, then, during week four, did Marlow use the power of veto and save Alison from possible eviction?

"A lot of people thought that I saved Ali for emotional reasons, but that wasn't it," he said. "My whole plan was to get Justin (Giovinco, Alison's ex-boyfriend) out of the house. But then she stabbed me in the back by having an alliance with Justin. I finally figured it out when she didn't put him up (for eviction)."

Still, Marlow, who was the show's first head of household and the only person to use the power of veto to save someone else, voted for Alison to win. Jun received everyone else's vote.

"I didn't want to vote for either of them, but 'Big Brother' said I had to," Marlow said. "After seeing the tapes, I would have changed my vote to the lesser of two evils and picked Jun."

Marlow's personal pick to win? Erika Landin, the pilates instructor from Los Angeles.

His favorite moment on the show? Playing "Truth or Dare" during week one. "Those were good times. We were getting to know one another, and nobody was strategizing."

One of the pitfalls of spending the summer in a house with others? Keeping track of his possessions, which included a wardrobe of Oklahoma college apparel.

"Every time I would look for a shirt to wear, I'd have to go to Ali, because she would steal all my clothes. And she was not a good representative for Oklahoma."

He knew the other's votes so he wanted to give a sympathy vote to Ali thinking she should have at least one vote for her efforts. Also, he didn't like to vote for Jun, so Ali was his only choice.
By now Erika regrets her vote to Jun and also Robert (now that he knows how said the b word about his daughter) regrets his vote as well.

Anyway, I'm thankful of Nathan's guts to vote for Ali, a unanimous vote for Jun would have been too much of a joke.

You know this about Erika and Robert how Spunky?

Spunky, same question.. I think I'll wait and hear from Erika and Robert what they actually think. As for Nathan, if he was giving a sympathy vote, I think he would say as much. And he is obviously regretting his vote for Ali already.

As for "Yes, Dear".. just one more reason I won't be watching.. and I don't watch soaps so no danger of my running across Mr Oklahoma there.

Interesting that yet another HG has problems with Ali "borrowing" and keeping personal items..

Michelle had to get BB to rescue her clothing from Ali.

The Oklahoma items she kept wearing.

Nate left a shirt in the dryer and told Erika she could have it, but Ali almost immediately moved in to "borrow" it and Erika said at that point she knew she wasn't getting it back.

Erika's eyeshade.. Ali borrowed that, kept wearing it and actually complained when Erika took it with her when she left.. as in Erika taking Ali's eyeshade!

Jun's shoes.

Yes, I think "borrowing" was her talent in the beauty pageant circuit.

Seriously... what was her talent? I'm on the edge of my seat.

Chippy, I read an article from Pitt U. about 5 coeds that would be competing in the Miss PA and Ali's talent was given as a artistic expression. Seems she was a member of Pitt's dance team.
Here is the article..typical Ali. What a girl!! Not!!

Thanks for the link, Murph. Got a little chuckle out of this part:

[quote]Reality check: Pageants are not only about beauty. In fact, the Miss America Pageant is the world’s leading provider of scholarships for women, falsifying the idea that pageants are based simply on looks and that pageants are all looks and no brains. [/quote]

Yeah, okey dokey.

Seems like Alison's felt like a celebrity for quite some time.

“Some girls don’t want to compete against each other, and they can be mean about it. The girls that go to Pitt, we help each other out. We’re good friends,” Irwin said.

There's a bridge over the St. Lawrence...

Why Nathan voted for Ali...he wasn't using the "big brain" to reason it out...or maybe he was...

After listening to Nathan in the sequester house saying that he kept hoping Ali would come thru the door because he wanted a cuddle-buddy.....I think the poor guy actually thought she liked him!

Nathan plans "to pursue a career in the entertainment industry."




Why oh why am I not surprised? Does ANY houseguest ever leave the BB house and say "Oh, I don't think I want a career in entertainment. Nope, unh unh!"

In general, many of them do seem to get a bit carried away with themselves by the end of the show, and I can't blame any of them for taking a chance to make the most of their 15 minutes of fame. But I can't recall Jun ever indicating she wanted to be an entertainer. Did she?

In one interview I read hse said she didn't think she had a career left in financial planning, but she would like her own cooking show.

So yea, she indicated she wanted to be an entertainer of sorts. Definitely milking the 15 minutes.

I would love to see the auditions for the new cooking show on the Food network. Nicole and Jun go head to head in a bake-off.

I think that would be excellent :)

Jun also talked about opening a shop of some sort.
