Kep421 | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 10:46 am   I remember a lot of the contestants saying they didn't like someone for this reason or that reason, but the only people I remember actually using the word "hate" and vehemently expressing on camera their hateful views towards another contestant was Brandon and Kelly. If anyone was "hateful" it was them. |
Micknrc | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 10:50 am   I hate the word hate. The irony is that we have to talk about stuff like this on threads called "I hate Lex" (sorry, Joan) and "Brandon's an idiot" |
Moondance | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 10:56 am   >The irony is that we have to talk about stuff like this on threads called "I hate Lex" (sorry, Joan) and "Brandon's an idiot"< No you don't Micknrc... start one of your own! |
Micknrc | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 11:16 am   we already have a Lex Rox one but I'm starting to feel like the lone nutcase (paging frank) who still thinks Lex is an okay person who just happens to be wrapped a little tight and who made one bad (okay, horrendous) decision... I need Onlymessin, Wargod, and the other original Lexheads to help me out! Okay--I think i'm going to go post some thoughts I've been having over there in a bit... |
Seamonkey | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:00 pm   Funny that Lex is still talking about trusting his gut.. I think his gut is not in alliance with him anymore Lex is the type I'd normally be rooting for but he's gone to the dark side.. Brandon also said this morning that Big Tom is a product of the good ol boy southern racist and homophobic mindset.. he didn't say that about Frank but he mentioned Frank being the card carrying NRA type.. |
Car54 | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:20 pm   I'm telling you- Lex thinks it's his gut- it's amoebic dysentary. Frank's bio says he is an NRA member. Does he have ANY sense of humor at all?????? |
Grooch | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:31 pm   Good one, Car!  |
Mssilhouette | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 01:29 pm   As far as frank goes I didn't get him being that sour or bad tempered. I saw he wanted to be left alone basically which is the way he's always been. What's the big deal with that? Frank was hillarous with the elephant and we all loved frank then and was on the fence about Lex. Personally I never got why Lex hated Clarence so, it couldn't be just about them damn beans. Now all of a suddend Lex just cannont STAND Frank? What the hell?...Its funny how Lex puts those he has to boot out into a bad catagory. As if to make his voting seem honorable he makes the other person into a vile nasty being. Without taking notice of his own actions. As far as Frank being a homophobe...What's that about? I think he doesn't like Brandon because brandon is annoying and irritating. He was also part of the mallrats and didn't do much work. I think with Frank's personality he was done with Brandon long time ago and that wasn't going to change. I don't think it has much to do with him being gay as it had to do with him being a lazy whining brat. Lex is the perfect example of power corruption. He's so set on his gut that he's blind to the obvious indiciations. His threating Tom and downtalking Frank was extremely bad judgement. If he trusted his gut more he should have realized that Tom and Frank are a lot alike and therefore are straightforward folk. Lex sticking to his word with brandon was meaningless considering if it came down to it Lex would vote him off in a second. They only reason he held firm to Brandon was that he REALLY needed the other strongest person off, which was FRANK. It was just another plan and really had little to do with his honor. Lex will probably be there for a while but at least frank didn't get caught up in his paranoid gutbusting whirlwind. |
Tksoard | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 01:39 pm   You said it "PERFECTLY" Mssilhouette!!! I feel the excact same way, until the last paragraph. I think Lex is gone this week!!!  |
Joan | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 01:56 pm   I agree with those who say that Frank's dislike of Brandon has little to do with Brandon's sexual alignment. While Tom and Frank may not be the kind of guys who'd lobby for gay rights, I think Brandon has done enough on his own, apart from his homosexuality, to allow people to form negative opinions about him. Heck, a lot of people on this forum dislike him and it isn't because he is openly gay! If we can dislike him for how he treated people and how he played the game, surely Tom and Frank can too. For Tom, I think Brandon was a bit of an amusement, something new and different, but he seemed to really try to learn about Brandon and his comments seemed to be made out of childlike ignorance than hate. Frank just distrusts him because he distrusts all the Mallrats and Brandon was their ringleader of sorts. IMO he showed the same resentment toward Lindsey and Silas who are both heterosexual. |
Guinevere | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 03:16 pm   Well, Joan, that may be true, but some of Frank's comments last night I took to be a sort of oblique criticism of Brandon's homosexuality. I don't think he can be called a homophobe based on that alone, but it does make me think less of Frank. |
Kizz | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 03:26 pm   Did anyone notice that on the cbs site in the tribal council voting history, they made a booboo and have Brandon and Lex voting for Lex? Thought that was kind of funny.... |
Neko | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 06:29 pm   Kizz, it's not a mistake, Lex realized that evryone wants himoff so he was just helping himself along! My mother completely hates Lex, and with every episode, her hatred grows. Which is very scary since my mom is such and kind and sweet person and wouldn't hurt a fly but when Lex said that he trusted his gut, she spent 10 minutes almost straight laughing. I had to true up the TV so I could hear! I don't like Lex either. He's way too sure of himself and he seems to think that he's higher up than everyone else and can tell them who to vote for. I wouldn't be surprised that if Lex doesn't win imunity Thursday, We'll all be hear Jeff say, "You are the Weakest Link, Goodbye!" Whoops...wrong show, But it'd be so fitting wouldn't it? |
Weinermr | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 06:56 pm   Lex's demonizing those he wants voted off is equivalent to what Hardy did in BB2 when he would suddenly decide one of his former pals needed to be voted out. Another comparison to a different show, but to me, their methods are similar. |
Grooch | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 07:01 pm   Did anyone else notice that in one scene in the show last night, he had the same look in his eyes that Nicole used to get. I had flashbacks. |
Joan | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 11:03 pm   Yeah but Hardy was hot so who cares what he does? lol |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 11:12 pm   Well, the Hardy analogy is pretty good. Lex doesn't give respect to any of his true competition--he can only show hate. And it's in his eyes. His supporters use the reason of the stress of the game. well, all the others are going through the same game and stresses--no one else seems to be going cray about getting a vote. Ok, there was others--but they are no longer in the game, and got a bad rap for it. Plain and simple, he can dish it out, but not take it. And his "gut" is pretty much totally off base. I have to wonder if he has been cringing at home while watching the shows. He is competitive--but not a competitor in the spirit of the word. I don't hate Lex in this game--I just don't respect him. |
Tksoard | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 04:54 am   Lance says "no one else seems to be going crazy about getting a vote, Ok there was others, but they are no longer in the game." My point exactly, that is why he is gone this week!!  |
Micknrc | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 08:03 am   Some people think lex is hotter than Hardy (any day) ... Okay, I'll shut up and go away now... |
Kep421 | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 09:34 am   Grooch, I know what you're talking about!!!! He reminded me so much of Nicole, I even said to my son "..oooohhhh Nicole flashback!!!" Lex was trying to convince Tom into voting for Frank and Lex was using the exact same tatics and tone of voice that Nicole used when she was trying to control the others. If I remember correctly, he even used some of the same words that Nicole used and sounded just like a bully!!!! |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 02:21 am   We should change this to the Lex Sux thread. I could like the way he plays if it was for his total lack of respect for anyone trying to play better than him or vote for him. He plays hard and is good at challenges. He reminds me of a football player that is a good athlete, yet still uses dirty tactics to play the game. He's just another Mike from BB2 that believes he's the star and everyone else is just an extra. Only he wants to take their heads off. Hey Lex, Survivor is not a collision sport. |
Urgrace | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 02:42 am   Hey Lance, I am in agreement with you. I could really like Lex and be pulling for him, but lost my respect for the way he mishandles his teammates and his judgement! He could have gotten back some respect from me when he went on safari with Tom, and took care of drunk Tom, but then I saw the disgust on his face! He seems almost like a two-sided coin flipping one way showing his nice face during questions at TC or RC, then flipping the other way showing his tail when he is voting for someone or finds out someone voted for him. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 02:58 am   DId anyone catch Lex calling getting voted off the "walk of shame"?? Great guy that Lex. Seems Lex never did learn that not taking first place automatically means shame should be involved. |
Micknrc | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 03:08 am   Lance- Everybody has called it the "walk of shame" for a while now, as they also call it on "The Weakest Link". I know you don't like him and that's cool, but you're really reaching with this one. |
