Amac | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 03:41 pm     Just based on his picture, he seems to have "Silas Gaither" written all over him....... |
Discoinferno | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 05:44 pm     He looks like the Hawaiian Kel! |
Aussiedeb | Thursday, February 28, 2002 - 07:49 pm     Amac, I am beginning to think you are right lol I dont like his accent, it seems fake to me. But hey what would I know, I an Aussie  |
Jbean | Thursday, February 28, 2002 - 07:54 pm     i LOVE his accent. i think he is funny. wish i would have picked him for my surviiival team! lol i think the accent is real. i have a friend who is engaged to a bostonian, sounds exactly like him...kinda scary! |
Lurknomore | Thursday, February 28, 2002 - 10:51 pm     Hi guys...making another pre-Big Brother return to these boards. As someone who lives a few towns over from Canton I can tell you his accent is NOT fake. I, of course, do not talk that way cause I didn't find my way to MA till college. I guess I do have a hint of it on some words though. The fake sounding one was the guy kicked off from Millis. He had that Kennedy sound going. Millis is pretty blue collar, and besides most folks outside the Kennedy's never talk that way anyways LOL. As for this Rob guy I like him...he's really very funny. Glad to see some personality on this show so far (though IMHO only from the guys not the girls on tonight's episode). |
Mindyrama | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 09:20 am     I thought Rob was cute and funny..I love that accent! But, he does seems kinda dense and I have to dock some points for his attraction to Cleopatra! It's good to be back here! Glad to see ya'll again! (when are we getting BB back??) |
Lobster | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 04:20 pm     Having been born and raised in Boston (Hy Pahk is pahta Boston like Brooklyn or Queens is pahta New Yawk city), I feel the need to express my opinion of the accents. I love to hear real Boston accents on TV. I was actually disappointed that Ethan didn't have one. Peter has a heavy accent, but I know many people who sound just like him. Most of whom are his age or older. My own accent is more like Rob's. I'm 36, and I find that people my age and younger don't have that heavy accent. The younger kids don't seem to have much of one at all. My 15 year old niece doesn't have one and both her parents do. They're Peter's age. I hope Rob sticks around for while cuz I like having a local boy on Survivor. Lexington is about an hour from me, so I didn't feel that Ethan was really local, but Canton is just ten minutes away!  |
Pamy | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 06:06 pm     I was posting in Hunter's folder because I thought he was a hottie, but after last nite's episode, Rob is the HOTTIE!!!!! |
Alaskagal | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 06:10 pm     I think the Boston accent is sexy... |
Wink | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 07:19 pm     He's a cutie and the accent is adorable. |
Alaskagal | Saturday, March 02, 2002 - 12:26 pm     Ok Pamy, I agree Rob is HOTTIE, but no dissing my Hunter... He is definitely still in the running for the Hunk of the island... LOL |
Realitynet | Saturday, March 02, 2002 - 12:48 pm     I don't like him! |
Pamy | Saturday, March 02, 2002 - 11:23 pm     Alaska- I wouldn't think of dissin your man!!! I still think he is in the running for Island Hunk, Sean might even be in the running, want to see how he interacts with the women more,but after watching the show I think Rob is sexier, I go for the hunky,slightly dumb ones!! just kiddin!

Hootyhoot | Sunday, March 03, 2002 - 08:56 am     What accent? Whatever are you talking about? I didn't notice any accents! said Kay who lives in central Massachusetts! |
Alaskagal | Sunday, March 03, 2002 - 01:57 pm     I totally am with you Pamy. Rob's smile could melt your heart...I think they all could be, what about John?? Didn't get much face time, but a possible candidate as well??? LOL Hootyhoot, |
Mindyrama | Monday, March 04, 2002 - 07:23 am     Yes, the Boston accent is definatly sexy! Oh, BTW Lobster..I have family in Uxbridge and my 17 year old cousin does have an accent. Not as strong as Rob's but definatly there. To them, my other cousin George is GAH-ge. Hey GAH-ge, go pahk the cah! I love it! LOL! |
Lobster | Monday, March 04, 2002 - 04:50 pm     LOL, Mindy! Well, there goes my theory about younger people with accents. About that George thing--I have no problem saying Jordan, but having an uncle and cousin both named Gahge, I was having a real hard time during the first Big Brother saying Jordan and Gahge in the same sentence. I finally learned to say George, and I'm very proud of myself. I can say quart and I can say water, but if I put the two together it comes out either quaht of wahter or quart of worter. LOL |
