Snee | Thursday, November 08, 2001 - 09:19 pm   brandon bugged me a lot less tonight. lindsey bugged me a lot more. |
Whoami | Thursday, November 08, 2001 - 11:55 pm   You know, Brandon actually seemed to have gotten a spine and tried to step up tonight. He tried getting bossy, but he's still no leader! |
Blonde | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 12:01 am   He b!tched and moaned, but I still think he will stick with the Necklace Gang in the end. Too bad. I was hoping he would turn against annoying Lindsey or that Kim P. might grow a brain. But I don't think that will happen. |
Smileeys | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 01:17 am   I actually thought he made alot of sense tonight, too. The comments about him being girly and brandy etc. have gotten on my nerves, too, and I don't think ya'll actually mean anything bad but not only are you putting down his being gay but you are also putting down girls by making fun of him and equating whatever you are making fun of to be girlish. I don't know girls who act like him and I certainly don't act that way. He just has "different" qualities than many people. I have tried to ignore it because as I said I don't think the people who are saying these things realize what they are doing and don't mean any harm. |
Resortgirl | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 05:07 am   I still don't like him. He thinks he is the "new" leader of the youngsters now that Silas is gone! He still makes my skin crawl! |
Grooch | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 06:10 am   Brandon may be trying to hold on to his old tribe, hoping that when the teams merge, they can take over again. The only problem is, is that none of them know that Silas is gone. I bet he hasn't figured that into his plans. I would love to see their faces when they go to the next challenge and they all see Silas missing.  |
Mindyrama | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 07:51 am   Yeah, I really thought Brandon was going to turn around tonight..he actually started making sense and realized his alliance members are not playing smart and that they needed Theresa and Frank...the only way he's going to be able to save his own butt is by stabbing Lindsay in the back...mean but true. He needs to align himself with the former Boran members. Boy last night was a great episode!! I know alot of people got bored with this season and bailed out, but I think the fun is just beginning!!! |
Twiggyish | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 08:08 am   Up to last night, I didn't like him, either. So far he has been lazy and mean. His point about Lindsey last night was true, though. As long as he flies under the radar, he will be kept. I would like to see the relationship between Brandon and Tom develop into a friendship. (ala Kent and Bunky) |
Meme9 | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 09:42 am   In my comments before, it was nothing about being gay, I don't care if he's gay. Heck I rooted for Bunky. It's the prissy, phony, ickey way he acts, I don't like it in girls either. And I should say I'm sorry for putting girls done by calling him girly. *my two cents worth |
Fanny | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 09:52 am   What you said, Meme9. My impression of him is that he's a great backstabber. I really haven't seen any redeeming features about him, which is why he and Tom will DEFINITELY not bond. Bunky was a good person who happened to be gay. That's why he and Kent became friends. Brandon is in my very humble opinion an unlikeable (self-moderated) who happens to be gay. That's why Tom won't end up befriending him. (And I can't see Brandon flying under the radar under any circumstances--sorry I just couldn't let that go.) Now I'm getting the heck outta here while I'm still alive. |
Nessietessie | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 05:28 pm   Yes, Bunky and Brandon are gay, not that there is anything wrong with that. I love Bunky, and Bunky had a heart. But Brandon is just too snakey and too lazy, There is no way he and Tom would be friends. Tom is a hard worker, and I cannot imagine him putting up with the rolling eyes and laziness any more than Frank did. |
Smileeys | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 07:44 pm   To clarify, my post from above - I never said I liked him Which may be one of the reasons it bothered me for his behavior to be equated with girlish behavior. As I said, I don't think anyone intended any harm. |
Twiggyish | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 08:03 pm   Nessie, I am just giving Brandon some credit. It is possible he will not show a redeeming side and totally aggravate everyone. Right now, he has somehow convinced people to like him. This is why I think he has a chance. |
Kep421 | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 05:03 am   Brandon doesn't act "gay", I think he tries to act in a way that he thinks is "effeminate" or "girly". It is his choice to act that way and I as a female am offended by his mannerisms. If Brandon thinks that is the way women act, then he has a very low opinion of women. I know a few gay men and they do not simper around, acting like Brandon does. I know a lot of women, and none of them act like Brandon. Bunky was gay and had a soft, nurturing soul, but he didn't prance around like a buffoonish, female wannabe. If I were to act the way I thought men would, I would be made fun of and end up the focus of many jokes. No one would take me seriously because it would be painfully obvious that I'm not being myself. So it is with Brandon. He is painfully obvious. |
Sukii1 | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 07:30 am   Just my humble opinion, but I have to respectfully disagree that Brandon is "acting" a certain way on purpose. There is a gay man at the place I work, and he is VERY effeminate, very "girly", and a very sweet person. He's incredibly similar to Brandon, AND his name starts with a "B", I have to be careful not to slip and call him Brandon when I see him..LOL!! Anyhow, his mannerisms, his tone of voice when he's talking to his companion on the phone, his walk, and his conversational tone is significantly feminine, and I just think that's how he IS, not how he's ACTING. I also know a guy man who works in the same salon where I go, and he's very NOT feminine, not girly, etc. I think it's a matter of how they (or any other person, gay or otherwise) are comfortable and what most fits their personality. I don't think it's a matter of offending the female gender, I think it's a matter of being comfortable with who you feel you are. Not trying to offend anyone, just offering my own personal experience. |
Realtvfan | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 07:57 am   I have also worked in a very large office complex for years with someone who looked, spoke and acted with the exact same mannerisms as Brandon. I honestly believe that the person in our office was not acting for all those years. He had a cubicle with more feminine items in it than most of the ladies. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 08:54 am   I just read about Brandon in one of my tabloids; apparently he was briefly married in his hometown. It was very consevative there, and his ex-wife thinks he was using her as a "beard." Her frinds were on to the fact that he might be gay because of his effeminate behavior. As for him lasting in the game, he might make it a few more rounds, but I don't see him going all the way. |
Nessietessie | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 09:22 am   I do not see Lyndsey or Brandon going to the end either. Probably not little Kim either, Kim is probably a very nice person, however, she is associated with the group that is lazy. I do give her credit for knowing how to start the fire. Brandon and Lyndsey have been on teams with everyone except Clarence, Ethan, and Momma Kim. Frank, Teresa, Tom, Lex, and Kelly have been on their teams and know they are lazy. Was anyone else bothered by Lyndseys phony hugging of the new team members and jumping up on Tom? Do you think Tom is fooled by her? I think he is smarter than that. |
Bidasea | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 12:39 pm   I am not a fan of Brandon, but a miracle occured on the last show.. Brandon made some sense. His remarks about Lindsey and Silas being out of control surprised me.Because of this it seems like Brandon and possibly Kim P., will help the others vote out Lindsey.When they go to the next challenge, they'll see that ole Silas got the boot.Brandon won't protect Lindsey from her new tribe. |
Snee | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 01:53 pm   brandon bugs me. (lindsey bugs me more.) |
Chance | Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 11:50 am   brandon bugs me. (lindsey bugs me more.) <---Snee I love Snee always right to the point and I couldn't agree more with her assessment. ;-) Chance |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 12:21 pm   I have two male friends who are quite feminine in there actions and interests,eg. high fashion magazines, home decorating, the bouquet of wine.... both are very interested in woman however. It's not Brandons feminine ways that bug me so much, it's his actions in the game. If he did the things he has in a "manly" way I'd still think he was a jerk....jmho!! |
Moondance | Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 12:24 pm   Brandon bugs me but Lindsey & Silas bug me way more! |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 12:29 pm   On the bug-o-meter, brandon bugs me the least of the two you mentioned moon! |
Snee | Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 06:07 pm   my bug-o-meter is OFF THE HOOK! (bb2 flashback!) |
