Realfan | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 10:04 am     (Mods, I tried to post this twice before, but it vanished. I apologize if I offended. I removed any questionable labels attached the participants in question). Man, that was fun. I was afraid with Toni gone, the show would lose its edge. But now we have MORE villains--Alex and Kirsten. Ugh, how I hate them both! I hope he gets bounced for cheating. THAT would serve him right. It looked from the previews like Dave gets the most money. He'd be smart to bounce Alex out of the house, after they all are told about his cheatin' ways. A perfect excuse to pick him. Of course, then he might have to room with Kirsten for a week, which would be scary, as he might catch something. Better if the producers kick Alex off in shame for cheating. Oh, and Amy?? Take a chill pill. She belongs on the Jerry Springer Show! I loved how Tara said, "Can't we just have fun?" and of course Amy had to be snarky to her for it. Because Amy CAN'T have fun unless she has a man around to use her for easy sex. The originals are being destroyed from the inside, rotting away at the core. It makes for great TV!! |
Reader234 | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 11:04 am     Wait, I missed the end, but I thought the winner (most money) gets a luxury night, not the chance to boot someone off!! Arent they going to pick roommates on Wednesday, and then a guy goes? (thanks surreal, now i just need time to real everything you wrote, since I saw most of it!!) |
Seanflynn2003 | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 11:08 am     One neat part of the payback to Alex is that casinos keep a databank on potential cheats and forbid them from entering. (With the new face recognition cameras, they are way ahead of the game here; they even forbid blackjack "counters", which is not cheating, from entering). So Alex may be looking at a life of being barred from the top Las Vegas and Atlantic City hotels. |
Kitt | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 11:14 am     Reader - at the end they revealed the new twist, that the guy with the most money chooses which guy leaves Paradise (presumably he choses last, as Keith did with Zach). |
Grooch | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 11:16 am     Kitt, I thought Amanda told that twist before they played. That's why Alex resorted to cheating. |
Kitt | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 11:22 am     Oh did she? I'm not sure, I assumed it was at the end as Reader234 said they missed the end and had missed that twist. It makes more sense your way. |
Deesandy | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 12:42 pm     Is the live feed interesting and worth getting? Thanks! |
Kellee | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 12:46 pm     Nope deffinately before they played they were told about that twist...that it was up to the winner of the night to pick the man to go...now something that strikes me as odd is the women can choose who to give their chips to but can a guy give another guy his chips if he is sure he isnt going to get picked? also we really didnt see Tom that much during the casino night was he even playing????? and what of the luxury that Beau and Keith won with the new guy did I miss that???? |
Deesandy | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 01:26 pm     Kellee, I wondered about that luxury night also... |
Surealityjunkie | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:22 pm     Deesandy, The feeds aren't really "live", they are "not seen on TV" clips of some of the segments that have been spliced for times sake. It is $9.95/mo. for 4-6 clips a week that last anywhere from 2-11 minutes. I tried to cancel after my free trial because I have dial-up and it is like I am watching a Power Point presentation with jacked up sound! So now I check out the feeds at my parent's house (go figure!) since they have DSL. Once my month is over, I think that will be it. You might check out the 2 weeks free plan and see what you think first. By the way, there are other things to watch besides PH. Also, we haven't seen anything about the luxury competition that Keith and Beau get to attend... Finally, I don't remember Tom playing during Casino Night either. I seemed to remember Charla talking to him on the couch when things were getting tense... Maybe since he was "free" for the week, having chosen his roommate an all, he didn't have to participate. I am thinking he is free from elimination this week... |
Surealityjunkie | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:57 pm     Yahoo! Feed -- Alex's "Full Confession" Alex is stating that people have to understand that this is a game and people will get stepped on, and they need to realize this. He says that the game shifted once the new people arrived and now have the power to send home whomever they choose. He also said that he is upset with Scott for backing out of the Originals plan. In the beginning Scott agreed to what they had in mind. Once Holly (and possibly Tara) came along, he began to shift. All of a sudden he is saying that the Originals plan is stupid, etc... Alex things thinks that Scott alligns himself with whichever person, or group, is strongest that week. He thinks Scott is playing the middle and doesn't like it at all. |
Kellee | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:19 pm     I dont think Tom is free this week at all...cause the rule is you can not leave without having a rommate all the others have had a free week because they spent the week alone in the black room..Tom is spending his week with Holly so he is fair game for elimination...I still think he is pulling the I am too crazy to be a real threat to you... |
Hoosiergirl | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 08:05 pm     Surealityjunkie: thanks for the info on the whole Keith/Amy cussfest. I'll go back and look it up. I used to like her, but I've lost a lot of respect for her over the past two episodes. Besides that, and it may be due to the editing, I didn't see any redeeming qualities to their relationship. Mostly just Zack ranting because she wasn't interested in getting to know the "real" Zack. I mean, he's good looking, but entirely too "it's all about me" for my taste. Did they ever consummate their "thing?" |
Kellee | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 09:40 pm     They consumated their THING on the very first night...depite him being all upset about the other girls not choosing him..they basically had at it the first night and it has been a rocky road for them since... |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:22 am     Hoosiergirl, Scroll up and check out the TV Guide Online interview with Toni (if you haven't already). She talks about Zack and Amy's relationship... aye yi yi!!! It was Friday, August 8 @ 6:03PM. Kellee, The only thing that wouldn't make any sense (to me) this week is if Tom is vulnerable. Why bring him in on Monday if he could be sent home on Wednesday? Or does anyone know if they are holding off on sending a guy home until next week? I am under the impression that a guy will be sent tonight since Toni left last week and Zack the week before... it would just flow. I thought host Amanda said that Tom chose his roommate for the week and no one could take Holly from him... Ahhhh, the speculation! This show has me totally hooked! Reminds me of my days with BB1!  |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:48 am     The "Originals" are certainly desperate, resorting to cheating and snarking. I'm really enjoying watching them flounder around. |
Tagurit | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 07:28 am     Sureality - is that Alex's confession regarding the cheating??? If it is, he is certainly more pathetic than I ever thought. Nothing like blaming someone else for your own stupid mistakes. Definitely looking forward to tonight. It will be interesting to see the whole cheating fiasco exposed. I would imagine that Alex and Kristin now have HUGE neon target signs on them. Amanda did say to Tom to chose his roomate for the week. That would lead me to think he was safe. Who knows though. |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 09:26 am     Don't forget that a week, in PH, is one show - so, tonight one of the men will be kicked off, and Tom is included in that. |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:00 pm     Tag, No, the video clip was from last week. That's the one thing that i don't like about the Yahoo! feeds -- they are a week behind. So, I have to decide if I want to watch a clip of Kristin crying because Toni left a week after it happened... Kinda loses that one-two punch, ya know? DJ, I didn't realize that next week is one show. Is that just for next week or an ongoing thing? (I guess I could go to TV Guide and find out, huh? ) I still don't understand the point of bringing Tom here on Monday if he could be sent home today... Host Amanda even told him to pick his roomie for the week... Why would they make it possible to send him packing? Just strange... OOOOHHH, but I am ready for tonight! I am doing finger stretches as we speak! I really think this is going to be an awesome show tonight!!! |
Kellee | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:40 pm     Sureal...the thing is this show is not playing on real time..they are two weeks or so in advance ..I dont think they went a week without bringing someone in...seeing as the last show was last Monday with a week until this weeks show when they brought Tom in...so I would say he might have had his week by the time they show the elimination cermony.... I really dont think Tom will go packing...I think it will either be Alex or Keith...those are the two that seem to be the most loathed by the other team... |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 03:03 pm     I hear ya, Kellee... I knew it was played out a week or so in advance. Tom probably did get there some time last week and we are just seeing him on Monday like we would the other new people. I was just thinking that it wouldn't make sense for him to go if he "just got there" to the TV viewers, does that make sense? I should just let the whole Tom thing go because I think he is a wee bit strange -- act or not. I agree about the Alex or Keith although, I would place my money on Alex leaving, no pun intended! I think Dave and/or Keith are safe at this point unless Alex/Scott/Beau deliberatly sends one of them home. Say Dave picks Charla and Keith picks Tara... unless something happens to cause distrust between them tonight, #1) no one else would choose these gals, #2) if they did, with the exception of Tara's unknown status, Charla would pick Dave/Keith over any of those other guys... It seems like Dave/Charla's alliance is so tight (no one else wants to be with them so they don't have to worry about getting passed over) that one of them will have to be eliminated to break up their little party... |
Deesandy | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 04:41 pm     Surealityjunkie, thank you for the information. I was thinking that if I did get the feed, the rest of my life might be put on hold because of my interest! I am sure my two year old would not appreciate that---as it is, I make sure she is in bed by 9:00pm on PH nights! |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 05:55 pm     WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13 SHOW They just had the corniest opening segment where they show the guests... "introducing tom and smokey"... oh my... Dave: keith and alex were the big winners... dave goes to scott's room... talking about the money ... wants scott to give him holly, beau and scott's money so he (dave) can make the choice... tom is the first person to breakfast and doesn't understand why that keeps happening... keith says you should be fashionably late to breakfast... talking about the winnings and how alex walked away with some big money last night... dave ragging on krisitn being "subtle" announcing how much money he was winning (flashbacks to casino night) tom, keith and beau get to spend the afternoon trophy (deep sea) fishing... keith and beau are hyped about it... out on a small yacht drinking beer and eating fishing... keith "heard" alex stole some money last nigh... people said they saw it... keith knows that no one made more money than he did so he doesn't know where they got the money holly & scott in bed small talking... beau can trust very few people... trusts amy... alex wanted keith gone. keith tells beau that amy wanted beau gone... |
Jan | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 05:57 pm     Thanks Sureal. I am watching Roseanne 'cause I knew I could count on you to spoil!!  |
Amy | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:02 pm     Thanks Sureal! |
