Laura11103 | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 07:54 am     how do I get to your personal folder? you could post them I'm sure, no one would mind. |
Kady | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 08:48 am     Laura...At the top push topics, then members room followed by message board. Everybody's room is there. Here is a quick link for ya to Wilsons room. Wilson |
Mak1 | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 03:02 pm     I wanted to watch this show but I don't because it makes me sick. Why, you ask? Because PUCK is on it, YUCK!!! I don't pity him one bit, but I do pity his child. I've never had such a strong negative reaction to anyone else on TV or in real life. (I'm joining in the Grooch/Seamonkey moderated chant now.) |
Ryn | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 03:11 pm     Then you won't be watching it tonight ;) I will however - lol |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 07:18 pm     well now the claws are out.....I do think Emily might be the one "pulling the strings" here, keeping herself clean while the others get blamed....but if the rumor about her later in the season comes true (check my folder), others will have the last laugh. And 3 hours sitting on ice?? For a $500 if that bike? |
Ryn | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 07:37 pm     Tempers are heating up....... Men had to wear speedos to sit on the ice (to make em equal to the women....) There were a ton of girls left when the last guy was eliminated - after 1 hour 47 minutes.... Last girls finished at just shy of 3 hours ten minutes.... Ellen, Emily and Ruthie were the inner circle for the women ..... The bottom 4 are Rachel, Christina (Emily's Friend), Tonya (Ellen's Friend), and Aneesa (Ruthie's friend). Ruthie on last place Aneesa, "I feel like she brings so much to the team" Ellen gives the lifesaver to Tonya Emily says she won't vote off Christina because she really likes her and others should go 1st. It appears Ellen brings up Rachels name (of course she was also next on the list). afterwards Ruthie and Ellen feel Emily kinda got them to vote out Rachel.... Looks like everyone might be turning on Ellen next week. |
Seamonkey | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 07:46 pm     Which guy is booted?? |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 08:10 pm     Dan was booted....and Tonya's most likely gone soon, because she was on crutches (another twisted ankle I believe), so it should have been a little obvious, but the friends thing came into play as well as Ellen giving Tonya the lifesaver...a lot of the others seemed to be irritated because they went so far up the list to boot Rachel, and they knew their reason was garbage (about keeping team unity, when they all knew it was them protecting their friends) |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:49 am     The girls really should just vote off the lowest, it was pretty unfair to vote off Rachel when she's done very well in the rankings. It's interesting how no matter what, Ellen keeps getting into the inner circle.... I can't wait to see her mess up and get the boot. I think Ellen's alright, I just think she needs to be a little quieter, maybe be more like Emily, lol. It did seem unfair that they were all blaming Ellen when it's 3 of them voting, but Ellen keeps taking the leader role. She should've refused to be the one to tell them that Rachel's out, but she's such a ham I guess. How about when Ayanna went and voiced her opinion to Ellen and Ruthie. I respected Ayanna because at first she seemed kind of hotheaded, like she was gonna blow, but she didn't, she listened to Ellen and Ruthie and voiced her opinion, good girl, I've always liked Ayanna, she gets heated, but she's a good person. I don't wanna see her go off on anyone this season. They should've voted off Tonya since her ankle's screwed up. The girls have made a lot of mistakes, they're making the guys look to good. Looks like next week's the episode everyone's been waiting for, Puck and the machete, lol. |
Ryn | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 09:07 am     I used to really like Emily, I mean way back when when she was on RR. I don't really care for her as much now, but I think putting the blame on her for suggesting Rachel was a bit much, they each wanted to keep the people below her (see my post above) so Rachel was the 'obvious' choice. Thank goodness the guys all agreed beforehand to just executing the lowest ranked person. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 09:19 am     Emily was the first to bring up Rachel's name, but Ruthie was the first to reject just voting out the person in last place, Anissa. But some of the critics, like Melissa (tho to be honest she was only jumping on Emily in this case) seem to forget that it was Melissa, Anne and ?? who started the whole season off by unfairly booting Julie (if they only booted on shadiness outside of this competition, half of those still there would be gone).. so they set the tone and most seemed to revel in seeing Julie smacked down, so.. I think keeping Aneesa for the wrong reasons does nothing to raise spirits. OTOH, Rachel didn't accept her fate as gracefully as others, including Julie. Yes!! The sooner Puck is gone the better. How could Betty "forget" her green card? But if she has one, seems like it could be sent to her easily enough. Anyone know where Betty is from? You so rarely hear that name, it was my mom's name so makes me smile a bit. I also thought Puck and others just showed more of their ugly side when they made such a deal over Ellen giving the lifesaver to Tonya. She won it and she gave it. And as long as you don't give it to the lowest ranked person, it shouldn't matter. |
Guinevere | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 09:41 am     I don't see what's so "unfair" about not voting out the lowest ranking person. Being in the inner circle is a privelege that is earned through accomplishment. Ruthie, Ellen and Emily have the right to vote out whoever they want to. If some of the other girls don't like it, then they should strive to get in the inner circle themselves. As for affecting team unity, well, it does appear that the girls' team has more drama this year - though I don't doubt some of that is editing, and remember, the guys have already had the David/Puck drama and seem to have another coming up next week. But even so, so what? It's what makes the show interesting. It might be affecting how much fun the girls have during their stay, but it doesn't seem to be affecting their performance or success so far. I didn't like Rachel on her season of RR, and I think she made an ass of herself last night. That goes double for Ayanna. Seeing the inner circle discussion, their choice made a fair amount of sense. They each had a friend they wanted to protect, which, as I've said, is their right. Rachel was next. The fact is, for all of Rachel's talk, she hasn't done that well. I'm surprised she was fourth from the bottom - I think she's been lower, at times. I am a bit of an Ellen apologist, so I definitely felt bad for her last night - it appeared she was getting all the blame, which isn't fair, at all. I can't wait for next week - if that's when you-know-who gets gone for good. |
Opie | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:12 am     Not sure how many of you watched the season where it was RW vs RR - Battle of the Seasons, I think. If so, you probably found Emily's remark about voting however they wanted and the others should get over it as funny as I did. She made a big royal stink last season about this. She surely didn't "get over it" easily. And isn't this at least the second time she's talked about someone being like the girls in HS who made her life miserable? How old is she? She was on Season 2, so I'd guess around 30. Get over HS already! I actually like Emily, which makes me cringe even more when she contradicts herself and causes all the drama. She's old enough to know better. One reason I love these shows is to watch human psychology (or maybe it's sociology?) in action. Did you notice how quickly Ellen and Ruthie decided that Emily talked them into voting Rachel? Earlier they were all about how it took all 3 to vote, etc, then as the unpopularity of the vote became more obvious, they band together and say it was Emily's fault. I don't know about you, but of all the women left, Ellen and Ruthie definitely seem the least prone to manipulation IMO. Ellen did show good judgement in not giving the Ion (or Icon as Puck would say) to Dan. Not a good move to mess with the guys' agreed upon plan. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:55 am     great show last nite. i have no real opinion of rachel but didn't like how she strung that guy along in her rr season. but i liked the fact that she voiced her opinion. i also liked how ayanna voiced hers and was sorry that ruthie and ellen bore the brunt of it, where was emily? emily is being hypocritical. |
Ryn | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 11:39 am     When you think about it, this is how I would have expected Survivor to go if they keep it seperated for a long time. The guys are pretty much keeping the personal issues out of it, the women are getting all emotional and catty. Yes there was the David/Puck thing but David came in with an ax to grind, was this his 1st show since RW? I mean puck even said he was willing to let David make it even and David said no - lol. I don't like Puck, I never liked him. I think he does have some good qualities, I think he was sincere during the wedding, but he keeps that side of him well hidden and his as***le qualities make anyone quickly forget he can have a nice side. |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 03:32 pm     Opie, I looked it up, Emily was born in 1977....and season 2 , the one she was in, was aired in Summer 1996. (later on they did 2 seasons per year, so thats why they've done 11 seasons) |
Monkeyboy | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 05:12 pm     i agree with guinevere....They should vote how they wanna vote. its a game. Im with the rest of ya...waiting in anticipation for next weeks episode when *uck, er i mean Puck gets the boot |
Opie | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:16 am     Thanks for the info, Wilson. 25-26 is still old enough to be over high school, though, IMO. I was thinking that Road Rules started not long after Real World. Time flies, eh? Also, I thought I'd heard someone mention Mark being 34; I looked him up, he turns 31 in April. It's Puck that's 34. So he was 26 when he was on Real World? Guess we should have realized that if that was his level of maturity at 26 it wasn't going to get much better ;) Other cast members talk about him being a nice guy when you get to know him, but in my book nice guys don't ever act like that. Colin wrote in his latest review that Puck went and threw up at Ellen's feet after she announced Rachel's eviction. Not a nice guy. And his treatment of Pedro completely disgusted me and I have a hard time feeling anything but anger toward him. Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into Puck-bashing. I just can't figure out why MTV keeps casting him. He's eventually going to cause a lawsuit. I'm surprised he hasn't already. Maybe next week... |
Monkeyboy | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 09:07 am     OMG did anyone see Cribs with Puck on it? He was making me sick throughout the whole thing. And hopefully i dont offend anyone but he is the epitome of White trash, i mean come on! If you know you are going to have your home on camera, you would at least clean up a little, ugh! well i guess thats just Puck...and Puck just gives me ulcers! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 12:38 pm     Luckily, I just came in at the end.. was horrified to see Puck at all and I fast forwarded the tape until whatever was next came on.. a Crib Crashers episode.. I gather it was that bad? I remember during the San Francisco RW, that when Puck was sent packing, Mohammed burned sage to cleanse the room he'd shared with Puck, not just of smell and funk but of the bad bad vibes.. Mohammed was such a sweet man. |
Puttergirl | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 01:18 pm     I thought I'd update the pics again:

Monkeyboy | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 06:33 pm     Tonight is the episode we have all been waiting for! Puttergirl, You might as well put that X over Pucks face already!  |
Max | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 07:26 pm     All I can say is, what a let-down. I was hoping for a big blow-up between Puck and another castmate and here all it ended up being was Puck against his room. MTV has just played it's own version of Fox's and ABC's "the most shocking episode EVER!" ploy. PFFTTT!!! |
Seamonkey | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 07:33 pm     I don't care if it is 30 minutes of commercials, as long as he's on the way out when I watch later. |
Misslibra | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 07:36 pm     Glad to see Puck go don't know why they didn't kick his butt out when he started tearing up the place, throwing a tantrum. And the excuses I hear coming from other cast mates for his behavior... Ugh!! Glad to see Dan come back although his stay didn't last long. A lot of inside fighting going on with the girls... when will it ever end ?? |
