Kappy | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:14 pm     "verbal abuse spewing from their mouths and the mental abuse certain PH guests have had to endure IS acceptable?" Yes, tdot . . just last week, I was wondering aloud when it was that 'emotional abuse' had become entertainment. I haven't even watched this show for the last two episodes. Way too sick in my book. But I'd like to say thank you to those who post the news here. I do want to know how the Fab Four fare in the end. I just can't watch it. |
Sherbear | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 01:20 am     I think the reason we feel so strongly about the behavior on this show, is at some point or another we have all been on the outside of the cool group. They think they are cool and they feel it gives them the right to be cruel to the other people and they feed off each other. I think they make interesting choices of words. Why do you "deserve" to be here? I also think that Charla's lack of partying was a real strike against her. Most people who party hearty have no use for the non partying crowd. People fail to realize that one person's idea of paradise is not another's. If you have one person who is a non party animal and the rest are it makes for an outcast. From what I have got they feel she has avoided the group period. Is it possible she is an introvert? Good combo to cause trouble in a party hearty situation. Another point is that Charla who I support, has sent some mixed messages by her behavior with the guys. First the kissie poo stuff with Andon then some with Scott and so forth. I find Toni, Amy, Zach, Alec and Kristin particulary horrible. I loved Charla's comment of what is a 30 year old doing screaming at a 21 year old. Why are they still at this stage and not being responsible. Zach is really funny when he talks about Amy being loved. It is truly a gift to be able to dismiss people's comments. We all know if they critized the "cool people" then their opinion must not be taken because they aren't "cool". This show truly has sickened me. |
Kathyb | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 01:56 am     Is it just me or does Charla seem to have gotten a second wind and is over her slump? I wonder if the producers told her anything about what's going on outside? Every message board I've visited is rooting for the Barbies and has nothing but admiration for them. Everyone despises the originals. I would think that hearing that would give Charla strength. |
Mich | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 03:42 am     i think Charla is perceptive enough to know that the "originals" would not be well received. I'm just concerned about the "Barbies" once they find out that the evictees are holding their fate in their hands - that is if the article is true. i think that is just unbelievable to say the least!! |
Dogdoc | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 04:16 am     Surealityjunkie, thanks for the color test site. I tried to download it but couldn't get in the whole way. I love those kinds of test though. Grooch, I could NEVER spend a week with Toni. Please don't make me spend it with Amy! |
Laura11103 | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:05 am     What's funny to me is that the originals see it as good against evil to way we do, but they see themselves as the good one's, go figure. |
Reader234 | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:30 am     I was thinking about that also Sherbear, about the fact so many are on the outside of the 'accepted' crowd, and I think that several of the latest to enter PH, wanted to Party Hearty!! I hadnt thought of that aspect to thier personalities. I'm with the majority, thinking of so many tragedies lead from bullying that its amazing to watch so much blatant hostility not addressed, so it makes it acceptable, I wonder if the "orginals" believe they are helping the ratings to PH, and are encouraged to barate the 'barbies' - it has to be motivated, 'rewarded' if you will, Zack was rewarded by threatening Keith because he was at a table that was encouraging him on, what if he was also told by producers to 'mix it up' with Keith, in order to get some 'good footage'? (of course Zack took it to extreme, does anyone really believe he had 50 people/friends?) So why did that cause his termination, and not Toni's threats to Dave? This show so confuses me, I like watching the behaviors, keeping in touch, I sub at a Jr Hi, so I see a lot of extreme attention getting behavior, the whole crowd mentatlity!! I guess I cant believe what I'm watching,, so I keep checking in... |
Deesandy | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:41 am     Hey all, I am leaving for vacation tonight and will be on the road for two days, and may miss the next show. Please update lots so I will not be out of the loop! Thanks a bunch! |
Mswolfe | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 10:20 am     I don't post often.....But had to say a few words here....this show is so scary it's not fun anymore, but of course we still have to watch it. I have to tape it, and it sometimes takes me 2 or 3 days to finish watching it since it hurts to sit through it all at once! I can't understand how so-called adults can act this way and think that its OK..I tell my husband about it and also tell him its like a train wreck, you don't want to see, but you have to....Thanks to ALL the posters for taking the time to keep us updated. I also wrote a note to Dave and was answered within a few days! How nice he is. Let's all just hope that the RIGHT ones win this thing. I would really hate to see Amy, Beau, or the rest of those crude people win. (a short note.. I live in a trailer, am not trailer trash..my husband is in the Military and this is the cheapest way to live right now and the easiest to move out of. I understand what the poster was trying to say, but it just hurts at times when the expression is used. I don't always like living in a trailer, but with hubby gone so much there is not much else we can do. Thanks for listening, sorry for the vent.....I apologize to anyone that I might have offended.) |
Jan | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 12:59 pm     Mswolfe I am so sorry that we are all guilty sometimes of using phrases that have taken on a bad connotation without realizing how others will be affected by the word. While I am not guilty in this instance of using the phrase "trailer trash" in this thread,I have, in the past, negligently used phrases like "gyp" (from gypsy), "country look" , "been jewed by the mechanic" etc Unfortunately, once I told a really good friend that I was "jewed " by the mechanic. I KNEW she was Jewish. It never occured to me to associate the word with her until she pointed it out. Another time I gossiped to a school friend about another student looking like a farm girl. Again, I never gave thought to the fact that my school chum lived on a farm. I hope I have learned my lesson. It is so easy to use words without thinking. I am sure the poster who used the phrase "trailer trash" was not talking about every person who lives in a trailer. But that doesn't make it any less hurtful so I am sorry that you were hurt  |
Realfan | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 03:06 pm     I think I was the one who used the trailer trash phrase. I'm sorry to have offended! Certainly not everyone who lives in a mobile home or trailer behaves like Amy. It's another stereotype. Some mobile home parks are quite nice. Maybe I should have called her "Jerry Springer guest" instead. That's how she acts,screaming in Keith's face. |
Enbwife | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 06:27 pm     Why oh why do I watch this show twice a week??? I must be mentally unwell... all that to say that I too am sickened by the way the "orginals" have behaved and find it hillarious that Amy actually thinks she has a future with Zach. I also find it funny that Holly keeps saying she's not jealous about Scott, yet keeps crying and fighting with him every time he turns around (ha ha)! The other night when Zach was going on and on about how great they all are really made me wonder how these people can go out of that place and live with themselves. They are in desperate need of help. And Toni - I couldn't imagine any adult woman acting the way she does... Sure - I have taken the True Colours test at work and I scored the same as you (Blue first, Orange last). |
Enbwife | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 06:28 pm     And one other thing, what's with Toni's over the top, crazy reaction to Melanie being chosen to stay at the hotel??? Weird! |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 06:43 pm     I've decided to stop watching this trainwreck pretender of a reality show. The originals disgust me. I get so mad that my blood pressure rises. Fox sucks. |
Realitynut | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 07:09 pm     I have also quit watching this horrible show, but I come here to read the posts because I need to know that the good guys win in the end. I can only hope there is justice. Thanks to all who do such a great job of posting and spoiling. |
Suek | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 10:26 pm     Man o man has Fox got a grip on us or what? A show we love to hate. I know it is NOT funny. But as I was reading through the posts, and feeling EXACTLY the same way as the rest of you. I found myself laughing, really hard. We are like a bunch of crazy nuts and we are allowing FOX to make us feel this way. We have the control...however it is unfortunate that this show has ended already. Let's just hope there is not a Paradise Hotel 2. We should all just stop watching the freaking show, it cannot be good for us. Maybe FOX owns a blood pressure medication company. |
Kitt | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 11:42 pm     I've kind of lost interest in it too. I was finally enlightened by Charla's comment last week, when Keith said something like "it's only a game", and she replied (pp) "then it doesn't matter if I leave". I think our four have been through so much rubbish that they don't really care much any more, and if they don't then nor do I. It's only due to my twisted desire to see the "originals" get their come-uppance that I still watch, and that might not even happen anyway. I should really do something more useful instead, but I know I won't. |
Dram | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 08:51 am     Question about the "Pandora's Box" on last Wednesday's show? I was confused about the question of Amy being jealous of Tara. Is she? I learned something new, I guess. How funny were Tara and Keith talking to the camera after the PB ceremony? When Tara said, "she's accomplished more than me, we're both on a reality show"! Loved Tara's giggle. Priceless. If the show is over already, I suppose a winner has been chosen? Or, do they all come back and vote? How I wish they all had to go home and watch themselves then return and vote. On the other hand, it didn't make Toni, Beau, Kristin, Alex, Andon or Zack curtail their behavior at all. May I just add that I am also totally disgusted by Desiree's bahavior. What is her problem? |
Mswolfe | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 10:51 am     Realfan, LOLOLOL I almost choked on the Jerry Springer post...lord thats a good one! I too have been trying to come up with a good comparison and you HIT IT!! Thanks....Thanks also for the understanding of why I hate the term, "trailer trash"...tho I DID NOT want to in turn embarrass anyone on here, you are all WONDERFUL!! I keep thinking of the ages of Toni and Melanie and the life I was leading then, married, with a child and home to take care, hubby in Army, sometimes not seeing him for months and months...and there they are acting like the world OWES them a living..how sad. I am a bit older than that now, but still with a military life and sitting here watching these people! (am I wiser?? LOL) Lord shame on me! LOLOL Can't help it though, can we. I can't in all honestly beleive that they actually watched themselves and thought that how they acted was right and normal behaviour. What kind of TV is it they use..The ROSE COLOURED GLASSES one?? Guess I have not seen that one yet. And Zack and his most ignorant comment, "I have lawyer in me" haha I won't EVEN venture to go THERE! I know if I ever needed one I would NOT be using his lawyering expertise. Well, again I say..Thanks to all the great posters on here......you make my day........Love u all |
Suek | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 02:47 pm     Oh Mswolfe I too was married and the mother of two and an Army wife at their age, boy have the times changed on us or what? I had lived in Germany for 3 years, traveled there alone with 2 children under 3. My daughter has a problem at the age of 36 taking care of a 6 year old. ROFLMBO!!!!!! |
Amari | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:51 pm     They said last week - 2 more weeks to go. O.K., that's four shows and there are still 11 guests right? Amy, Desiree, Melanie, Holly, Tara, Charla, Beau, Scott, Tom, Keith and Dave. If they would do the regular vote off, one of the girls would leave but that leaves 10 people to go in the last 3 shows. And how will they determine who goes? Some sort of competition? They will have to get rid of more than one each show. My mind isn't creative enough to come up with any good scenario's. Anyone out there? |
Puckerbutt | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Amari - The only good scenario I can come up with involves a mushroom cloud. |
Merrywidow | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 06:25 pm     I quit watching PH as of this past week. There is nothing attractive or interesting about mob mentality. These "originals" (minus Charla) are the most disgusting, nasty young adults I have ever come across. They are the stuff of nightmares...vampires & werewolves. |
Luvmom | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 11:10 am     Looks like The Smoking Gun has done it again. Gold Diiigger says The Smoking Gun found out that Zach pleaded guilty to theft from a clothing store in 2001.Is anybody here surprised at all? |
