Thanks Mckryan. Now remind me why you were mentioning Laura Johnson.

Okay, okay, I see I started it by mentioning Brian's resemblance to Harry Hamlin. Somehow we got photos of all of Harry's love interests posted before we got Harry himself.

Ha! Yep, we made sure to get all the loves of his life pictured.

OK here's an interesting tidbit - Brian was on Days of Our Lives with Lisa Rinna (before she was married to Harry Hamlin). I believe he was her drug supplier.

From link I posted above (Brian played Tim Rollins and Lisa played Billie):

Tim Rollins: Introduced as Austin's old friend from Boston, Tim worked at Johnny Angels (now the Java Cafe). Secretly, however, Tim was a drug dealer. He supplied drugs to Billie Reed as she arrived in Salem. He became Carrie's boyfriend, but was finally arrested and sent to prison when the character was phased out in 1993.

I think Brian looks even MORE like Harry when he is smiling!

Chiparock, how did you get the pics on together? Did you make a file of the two and then uploaded that file? I have been wanting to upload more than one pic at a time, and I wasn't sure how.

Mckryan, I feel funny giving advice on graphics since I've only been playing with it for about a month or so, but I'll tell you how I got Brian and Harry side-by-side:

Not very sophisticated or elegant; someone with more experience probably would have cropped and resized the photos so that they'd be equal in size.

Ahhhh!!! I didn't know I could do that! I could have saved some message space. Thanks for the tip.

Good grief, Brian's wife is an air-head. That video was just stupid. I think now that he will lose and her video will be one of the main factors in his loss.

I had the same reaction. She really didn't use her head when she did that. She would've done better to focus on the child. Showcasing their piano and car was almost like waving their bank balance in front of the camera. And then that last line about Fiji...

She must've thought they wouldn't show the video to the whole group, but just to the winner.

Eh, you never know. I'm not a Brian fan anyway, but right now everyone seems more concerned with bringing him to the end with them for some reason, and these juries don't always care about how well off a contestant already is.

Isn't Lisa Rinney that gal with the huge enhanced lips? A case of a beautiful woman who didn't need plastic surgery doing something that looks ridiculous. Hope they go down eventually and look normal again.

She's the gal with the very full lips, but it's not verified that they're enhanced. There were tabloid reports of it, but she says she's never had injections and that her father and grandparents have the same lips. I've never seen her with smaller ones in all these years, so I always assumed they were natural.

I got the impression the video was orchestrated by producers. Why would he want to see his cars? Why give him a tour? he knows what his house looks like unless she moved since he left. I felt like the whole thing was more for the others than him. especially since she left her clothes on :>

it is strange that brian's wife said, "here is your big, white grand piano"...it would have been enough to just hear the little guy banging on it in the background and everyone would maybe picture an inexpensive upright or something! and to go into the garage and say, 'CADILLAC!' hmmmm. i think he even commented something about not wanting to show too much of his family life to the others; and that was BEFORE he saw that his wife was going to brag on their toys. i was surprised it wasn't a private showing. he won, not the entire group! maybe his wife thought that, too. she did comment she wasn't sure what he had done or what he had won if he was viewing this extra footage.

i would have showed the little kid on his trike or on a swing or talking about daddy; or mom and kid fingerpainting with chocolate pudding or something, not showed off expensive trappings. i still think that's what had the dentist booted so quickly a couple of survivors back. when the others asked what kind of car(s) he had...

what else surprised me was ted applying for the show even though he has to have known a baby was due about the time he would need to leave home--he has to have known that at the time he first applied. as it was, he left the day the baby came home from the hospital. it seems kind of selfish to me--away 39 days, not to mention the day or 2 they probably are processing you and you are flying to thailand, etc. i can't imagine someone wanting to miss out on the first almost 6 weeks of something so special as a child they created! i sure have different priorities from some of the survivors ;>)

I kept thinking about how strategic Brian has been and how he's talked about that. He looked really distressed at what his wife was doing on that video. I also got the impression he was partially worried she might strip or something (that talk about not wanting to show too much about himself to the others made me think he might be worried she'd reveal his soft-porn past in some way). I figure he was wishing he'd thought about telling her what to do if the producers approached her about making a tape!

Brian's become one of my favorite Survivors this season, I guess, so I just cringed when his wife's video played. She really made a huge error in showing the nice piano and the expensive cars. Do the members of the tribe know that Brian is a used car salesman, though? If they do, he could explain the vehicles that way.

Jeff didn't need to show the video to the whole group, imo. Surely he'd already seen the tape, so he and MB must want someone other than Brian to win the big money. That would have made them want the entire group to see Brian's video just to put a target on Brian's back. That's my view of it.

i am just really perplexed that the others got to share "brian's" reward. what did they do to earn the cool drink and the rest of his video? his
reward could end up being his downfall. where's goddess when you need a good lawsuit?! oh yeah, on a hot date ;>)

I can't remember a family video where they haven't shared everyone's message with everyone else. This was NO surprise. Good to rattle ol' Brian's chain a little. He is getting a little too confident. They do know he is a used car salesman...when they introduced themselves everyone laughed when he said that, as I recall.

Applications are opened sometimes a year before the show....Ted could have applied before his baby was even conceived and have given up on hearing. He could even have been an alternate...Tina got the call last minute when someone else dropped out.

Sharing the reward has always been a touchy thing...those who go off and don't think of the others ALWAYS feel a backlash...Brian was smart to share.

I don't completely see it as sharing an award. Yeh- they're watching the video but the fact that it isn't their family and they don't know the person/people on the video would make it not so much an award in my opinion. I think it would almost be harder watching and wondering what was on your own video.

When the tape started and Brian's wife commented that "the house was a little messy", I gagged when Brian said "clean it up then".

My husband said that Brian was trying to be a macho guy in front of the other men. That has been my main pet peeve with Brian. He is constantly commenting on women vs. men. Sometimes I get the feeling that he really doesn't care for women at all.
