Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:51 pm     This is so wrong.. I know I said earlier that Clay or Ruben should be bottom 3 for once, BUT I meant 3rd only AFTER Trenyce and JOSH, and be safe first. This STINKS!!!!! |
Ketchuplover | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:51 pm     Ruben is rocking the house GO RUBEN GO |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:52 pm     um spot, hi, don't know you. but um no. and i didn't say it was his fault. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:53 pm     Good point, Spot. Josh isn't doing anything wrong or to be blamed for - the people voting for him are keeping him there. He has a fan base - that is what the show is about. And why in the world should he step down?? He's there to win the votes of the audience. I couldn't stand that Eddie won BB1, but that's what America wanted. Oh well. |
Scribe | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:54 pm     not been around for a while but when something shocking happens I run back - anyone else agree that no one voted for Ruben becasue they assumed he was #1 and all of the armed forces voted multiple times for Josh - how else could it be this way - Josh is nice guy but |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:54 pm     This is all your fault, MGA. I hold you completely responsible. (You know I am funning ya, right?!) Spot made a good point, this isn't Josh's fault. This is just the way the votes split sometimes. I'm calming down now. |
Vali | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:54 pm     Getting ready to vent...sitting here watching these two is giving me all sorts of things to say about the voting process. It's coming..I can feel it...ready to start burning up the keyboard after these results. This is totally insane. (I know I'm saying what everyone else is, but it feels good to get it out!) |
Amy | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:56 pm     That is the problem with voting for your favorite instead of voting for the worst. The voting system they have set up is flawed. |
Essence | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Trenyce is gone. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Putting up flame filter so when Vali's words hit my screen it won't melt (but I'll be agreeing with the words) I don't think any of them would just walk away, that would be crazy. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Ruben is SAFE. Trenyce is going home. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:56 pm     I'm sorry I had no idea I would jinx Ruben. It is all my fault. (yes I know you were kidding) I only voted for Kim last night.. assuming Ruben had no worries. I haven't voted for Josh since before Corey left. |
Spot | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:56 pm     SQ - Hi to you, too, SQ!! No, you didn't, but your now-modified explicative sounded like a personal attack on Josh. I, too am plenty bummed by this vote! |
Rabbit | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:57 pm     Josh and Trenyce both had the advantage of their fans knowing they needed to dial extra hard. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:57 pm     This isn't the order I'd have done it, but I can certainly live with this. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:58 pm     whew.. Ruben is SAFE.. Dang.. I knew I should have picked Trenyce to go.. (and I really know now) |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:59 pm     Glad Ruben is safe.. Sorry Trenyce, you should have had one more week. She will get work from this, no doubt! |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:00 pm     well it kinda was cause i don't think he can sing. but the bs one was about the whole voting process. but thats ok, won't have to worry bout me anymore. |
Faux_Pas | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:02 pm     Next week will be the first time I'll make the effort to vote. I'll be dividing my calls equally between Kim, Clay and Ruben. Maybe throw in a few more for Kim It was very cute watching Paula, Randy and Simon dancing together while Ruben was singing. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:03 pm     Kim C and Carmen have gotten gigs, I'm sure Trenyce will as well. (Kim C was interviewing people going in to some awards show, Carmen on Dave L) |
Essence | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:03 pm     Don't leave Square. Maybe this is a wake-up call for Ruben. I hope he takes this and knocks people's socks off next week. I don't know what will have to happen to get Josh out of there. Night all, I'm fielding phone calls of people who can't believe Ruben was in the bottom two. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:04 pm     I really disagree with the results, but I've heard the voting system arguments before. I think this way works as well as any other. Any system would have pros and cons. I think it will all work out in the end. The ones who truly had talent last season-- Tamyra, Justin and Kelly-- are still around. I am still stunned, but I think Ruben will come through okay. I think this will spur Ruben's fans to dial the whole two hours next week. It may end up working to his advantage. No more assuming he is safe. I think the most obviously talented this time-- Ruben, Kim L. and Clay will still have all kinds of opportunities, even if they are not the winner of the competition. Doors will open for all of them. |
Spot | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:04 pm     SQ, you don't have to leave now - Ruben is still with us, and do think that the voting public (read that, Us) will have learned from this week and just start voting like maniacs for our favorite? Besides, if you leave now, that will be one less person to NOT vote for Josh next week (LOL!). |
Vali | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:04 pm     Okay...I'm starting to think the voting process is flawed, as Amy said. This is the result of letting people vote as many times as they want. If they only allowed you to vote once, wouldn't that make it more even? I think on Big Brother 1 (okay, I still miss it) you could only vote once, which made it more of a fair fight. There was a huge conspiracy when a radio station set up phone banks for people to vote for one particular houseguest they wanted to stay. So it's not a perfect system, either, but would that help? Now that everyone has cell phones, the most die-hard could still manage to vote more than once. I don't know. I just think that the situation tonight merits looking long and hard at the voting system. /rant off |
Rabbit | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 06:05 pm     Faux_Pas has the correct strategy. |
