The ClubHouse: Boot Camp: Meyer's gotta go!:
Archive through April 05, 2001
Enb | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 03:41 am  This nut has to go! Did you see how openly and blatantly he's lying to everyone and manipulating everyone!? His little cry session took the cake! Then he helps sway the vote against recruit Park....I hate this guy!  |
Twiggyish | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 05:57 am  I agree. He is a skunk. I hate his smirk. The drill instuctors had him pegged the first day. |
Norwican | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 07:53 am  Yes, he does have to go. I do have to admit however that I could relate when he was trying to hold back laughter when the drill instructors were in his face... I think I may have had the same reaction. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 08:43 am  I agree that he has to go as well. He's a little too good at telling lies, manipulating people, and acting like a jerk for him to be doing this just for the game. This is the kind of guy that gives males a bad rap, and usually gets all sorts of women through his manipulation and lies. This is the kind of guy who screws people over in a job to make himself look better. What a winner. |
Guruchaz | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 08:47 am  LOL! |
Grooch | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 09:02 am  Lance, I want him to stay. I think it's an educational experience watching him. I'm just wondering why that other guy gave him advice on how to save his butt. The other guy is a little manipulative also. It was his idea to have him cry. |
Digilady | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 09:19 am  yeah GROOCH! Meyer for the win. ALL the way. Now, if he starts wearing a funky hat, this will be discussed. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 09:19 am  Sorry, this hits too close to home--I work with a guy like Meyer. A liar, a manipulator, and someone who only cares for himself. I have had more than enough educating to last a life time on people like this. (btw, these are the reasons I never cared for Dick Hatch) The other guy could be getting suckered in by Meyer, or be almost as bad as he is. Not sure which yet. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 02:58 pm  Meyer the liar. I like that. I don't like him. And I have also worked with and for people like him... grrrrrrrr |
Enbwife | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 01:14 pm  There always has to be a controversial one in the bunch, i.e. Richard, Jerri, what's her name from Big Brother days (I can't believe I forgot her name - the stripper). Anyway, Meyer has a way with the women. He thinks he's hot stuff (and he is a good looking guy) so if he gets the women thinking he's hot, and sensitive because he apologize and cried (although faking), then he stands a chance of going places. I'm gonna keep my eye on him! |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 10:42 am  Lisa, I think as women, we HATE to be manipulated. You have a good point about him. |
Noslonna | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 01:09 am  Meyer plays well. They fell for it. He is evil, conniving, phoney and manipulative... gotta love him. When they discover it was an act they will boot him out. Not because he didn't play well, but because nobody likes to be played for a fool. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 08:30 am  Or because no one likes being lied to. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 10:47 pm  This guy just gets better and better each show. I wonder if his head would fall off if he told the truth. His cranium too. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 11:20 pm  That would be fitting, Lance... He sure seems to be playing them all for fools. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 07:31 am  After last night's performance, what do you think about his strategy? At first, I thought it was lame... to act like such a goofball, then get the ladies sympathy and stay on. But now that he has taken it one step further and contrived this big turn around... from goofball to big team player, I think it might work. Although I don't think they are all totally convinced yet, he does seem to be winning them over- the ladies and the tough guys. It will be brilliant if it works the whole way!!! |
Max | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 08:19 am  The guy just keeps twisting his story around and around. Eventually, I expect him to forget which part he's playing or trip over one of his lies. Seemed like the DI might have caught on to his game a little after he claimed to be too weak to do a pull-up and then performed so easily in the monkey-bar run. I don't know if the DI bought his story about a former lack of motivation or not. I sure hope someone catches on to him soon--I wanna see him fall. Then he can go back to selling used cars or something where schmoozing the customer is an art form. What I really like is that they keep showing his occupation as "Urban Planner". According to the official bio on the website, he's really a snowboard instructor who is in school studying urban planning. That's a lot different in my mind than actually BEING an urban planner! |
Grooch | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:09 am  If only he used his powers for good and not evil! Just think what he could accomplish. Btw, do you think the cameramen, listening to him as he brags about his deceitfulness, gets so disgusted, they go and tell the DIs? He would deserve that. Like when he was complaining about his sore shoulder, and the DI asks, "Is that the only thing sore?" They got him! He didn't know what to say. Caught in the act. Hee, Hee, Hee! |
Karuuna | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 11:13 am  I wonder how long or *if* the others will catch on to him. If I imagine myself in that situation, away from my usual support system, stressed and pushed to the max, I think there's probably an inclination to *want* to find others you can rely on and befriend, making it less likely that you'll see thru the BS. Meyer is definitely an interesting fella, seems to me he has a little sociopath in that cranium. I do hope they catch on soon, so he doesn't start to think that crass behavior is useful and rewarding. |
Nagster | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 01:56 pm  As I see it, the problem is that even though the D.I. saw right through Meyer, he probably can't tell the other recruits. Why spend so much camera time on Meyer? Could it be that he is the eventual winner and they want the audience to know what he was really like all the way through the experience so we will be doubly disappointed when he wins? I hope not, but TV is TV and they sure are spending a lot of time on this particular guy while there are others we know very little about. Haar had to go because she was a drain on the team. Pupo had to go because she was a whiner. My choice for the next "out" is the older guy who came back from medical leave, unless he really shapes up in the next episode. Does anyone besides me think this show is beginning to drag a bit? |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 02:07 pm  It isn't dragging for me at this point. They do a decent job of showing the action and not their down time (it would tough on them to do that level of PT for 8 hours). Meyer provides controversy--just like Jerri got most of the air time when she was one of the more vocal/controversial players. Nick has gotten almost none. I'm a fan of Whitlow, although she's hardly been shown on camera, let alone hearing anything she has to say. She seems to take what they dish out, do well, and not get into the mixes with others. Boring by TV standards, although playing the game well and also being a good "recruit". Meyer is the Jerri of this show--the one you love to hate. |
Digilady | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 03:52 pm  I dunno, Lance. As I said before, I kinda like Meyer, the snake! He's not taking any of this seriously. He's out to play a game. And, after all, he has a point. I also like the gay chick. She seems bright and on the ball, (excuse the pun), altho I'm undecided about her outting herself like that. Still, Meyer to win! (We all know my history of choosing winners.. poor bugger is as good as gone.) |
Misslibra | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 07:00 pm  Well he can't go soon enough for me. This guy is worst then Jerri to me. But I'm so glad you picked him Digi, because that's a sure sign his butt will be booted soon... hehehe  |
Digilady | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 07:32 pm  Guarenteed, MissL! LOL Me supporting someone is indeed the kiss of death! |
Noslonna | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 10:17 pm  Meyers could win. Everyone has to pick a winner sometime. |
