I am sure I'm in the minority here, but I find I like the BB4 HGs even less outside the house then I did when they were inside. When they were inside, I could find excuses for their behavior, their attitudes, and even their lack of warmth. However, once on the outside, as both of these interviews indicate to me, there is no excuse and they are just plain unlikeable. Just my opinion... I tried to like them all and other than a couple of them, I just found myself both bored with them and disgusted by them. The feeling remains. David was IMO, an adolescent bore. So vain and full of himself, he gave no one an opportunity to know him (personally I had no desire to know him). He was out for sex, and he got sex, and he was no better off for it. He totally had no respect for Amanda, nor she for herself... no respect for Michelle, nor her family. The best thing that happened to Michelle, was losing David. Erica might as well not even been on the show for as much personality as she gave off. I also think she might want to take into account that she is not J-Lo and can't really carry off the look. Maybe I need some therapy??? rofl Or maybe it's ok to not like them. I wouldn't be alone in that decision...lol

Lorry, I agree with you about Erika. I found her to be a complete bore while she was in the house. After reading this interview, I still feel that way. She has the personality similar to a piece of wood. LOL about your Erika/J-Lo remark. So true!

Lorry, what I have found is that in 4 seasons of watching the US BB live feeds and 2 seasons of the Australian BB feeds (which is a VERY different show!), I have yet to be surprised by anything that any HG has said, done or written once they have left the house. I know that it is an extreme situation, but I've found that the impression I have gotten of them in this situation has been reinforced by their behavior in the outside world. That's the main reason that I don't agree when people say that you can't know the real person. I honestly believe that if you try to look at the whole picture, not just one or two isolated incidents or things out of context, you can get a good idea who the real person is. As for Erika and Dave, what I saw in the house pretty much has been confirmed by the things I've read about them and by them since they've been out of the house. While I don't dislike Erika, my biggest impression of her is one of fakeness mixed with a healthy dose of fame mongering. I think that she has no idea who she really is, hence her overidentification with J-Lo. It cracks me up that she says in the article that she wanted to keep her private life with Josh "sacred", which is logical since she's made such an effort to keep it private before and after her stint on the show. Oh, wait, that's not true, since they posted pictures of themselves together on a public website.

Irish I have. I think she's full of it (and full of herself). She's one of many BB houseguests to be mad that trash talking happened, when she herself did the same thing. And she's STILL doing it, when the game is over. She also seems to be deluded enough to think that she knew everything that was going on in the game and what each player was strategizing. Bwah! She had no personality in the house. She still has none. If that chat was her attempt to gain one, she needs to try again. She came off as a complete <nk>!

The interview was kind of boring, but I would imagine after all the interview requests, it's kind of hard to avoid being 'cliche' in your answers. It's like watching professional athletes in post-game interviews. They same the same 7 things, over and over. Now, her yahoo group is a different story. I think she might need to practise the art of WAITING 24 HOURS after writing a response, then going back to it, to read if it's really what she wants to write. She's quick to be a bit snarky in her responses. I know a lot of people who are the same way over email. It's not caused by pseudo-celebrity, but more from a lack of self-restraint before clicking "send". I'm sure a lot of us have emailed someone in anger, and have then gone back and read what we sent, and felt we were too harsh in our words. I think everyone needs to go out and look up the functional attribution error, and the actor/observer effect, before judging anyone further. They are interesting concepts that explain why we think the way we do about people.
