Missy2 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 06:36 am     So far I really like Brian! |
Hermione69 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 06:41 am     Brian was amazing last night with how he handled the situation in his tribe. He was very kind about Tanya last week. I really like him also. I hope he goes far..... |
Micknrc | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 06:56 am     Ya know, I was one of the people to find out about Brian's resume. I like him. I like him more now that he's exhibited smarts and compassion. I never disliked him before due to soft-porn experience (a plus), but only a little perhaps due to the incestuous hollywood wannabe thing that has been going on in reality casting for the last couple of years and which seems to be getting worse. (I like Lisa, and am ultimately glad she won, but it pisses me off that she didn't apply, but was recruited for BB3-- OTOH, I wasn't too crazy about Dani, but felt that as an average American who actually believed the hype and APPLIED to be on the show, in a just world she might have beat the girl who producers went out and recruited). Anyway, back to Brian. Now that he has made it on Survivor, I'm fully prepared to root for him as a legitimate contestant. He did the movies, (they're soft, not *erm* hard) and I think he is probably fully prepared to stand by them. He signed up for an experience that he knew would entail full background checks by the show, the fans, the media and the net boards. I LIKE him and also have no compunction in calling him porn dude if I want to. (sorry RG ) What I can't get over is the cr@p that infested the BB boards this summer that seems to be creeping in here. ("ooh, don't say that"--"don't be hard on my favorite"---"the nerve of you to have an opinion"---"mods, will you change this post, thread, whatever, to reflect MY world view." IMHO, this is the nicest, kindest b-board on the net, but it still can't be too politically correct, it seems. Why don't we all meet over at Barney.com and sing together---"I love you, and I'm PC too" Just don't express yourself. Try posting over at S-sucks. Tell me to shut up and go away and I will absolutely do that to make you happy. |
Car54 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:22 am     THANK YOU MICK!!!!!!!! I was sorry to see the BB crap start up too! Lighten up people. If we can't kid around and have a sense of humor about things, I am going back to the Sucks board. Bravo. I am done now too. |
Nessietessie | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:38 am     Sorry, Mick and Car54, I didn't mean to offend anyone by my "mods will you please remove the moniker, "porn guy"." I just felt it was a little mean spirited, but I certainly did not want to cause any dissension among us. I will try to lighten up. You see, I lost my Mom suddenly 3 weeks ago to a brain aneurism. I was her only caregiver for the past 15 years. I am grieving more than you could imagine, and to calm down, I read and post on this board. Sorry everyone. |
Wiseolowl | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:43 am     Nessie nobody's angry and what you just told us is a reminder that our views are often a reflection of what we a re feeling. Just learned that my favorite neice and Goddaughter age 33 - 2 kids age 4 and 2 has been diagnosed with breast cancer = full mascetomy scheduled for next week .Needless to say, everybody's devistated. |
Micknrc | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:44 am     Sorry, Nessie, for your loss. {{{wiseolowl}}} My post wasn't directed at you or anyone specifically. I'm just one of those pain in the a$$e$ who can't stand being told what to think, say, do....and that kind of action seemed to be de rigeur on the tourist season (aka BB) boards this summer. (which I tried to avoid after my first few pathetic attempts this summer). |
Car54 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:45 am     Nessietessie... I did not even read your post. There were a number of posts last night in the same vein that I was responding to. Sorry you are having a difficult time. Survivor is supposed to be fun. |
Car54 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:48 am     Mick, we were typing at the same time. I quit posting in BB and last season's TAR folders for exactly the same reasons. Maybe we need a pain in the a$$ thread just for us! I posted a bit last night, and this stuff started. When I read some of the later stuff this morning, I thought Uh oh, here we go again! I AM really done now. Love ya girlfriend! |
Hermione69 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:51 am     Nessie, I actually wondered if that was at me, among others, because of my posts about Ghandia! We can all get carried away here sometimes. If something strikes a chord with us, we may respond too emotionally. Its part of being human. I am very, very sorry for your loss. |
Micknrc | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 07:51 am     **smoochies** hope you're feeling better, kid. I keep telling myself I should get up on the pc and spoil, but my bed is SO comfy! You're a better woman than I, Gunga Din! |
Car54 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 08:34 am     Nope, I think I may have to stage a strategic retreat to the decorating threads! I swore I was done spoiling, but that ol' Seamonkey gets me every time! If no one shows up, I feel bad that she is out on the west coast waiting! |
Twiggyish | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 08:51 am     Nessie, sorry to hear about your mom. ((Nessie)) Honestly, I wasn't try to be mean spirited when I started this thread. I thought it was funny because that's what he's being called. So that's why I put..aka (also known as). I am very sure if he read this thread, he'd know we LOVE him. =) |
Wiseolowl | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 09:14 am     Car 54 Where ARE you -I got frustrated alot this year too. Got moderated alot - things got too personal - I got personal and wound up not liking myself very well and quit posting - But hey this season is early -its a new game - you can't fold yet. If you do we'll chase you into decorating .By the way I have some pretty extreme thoughts about some of those guys too - so there is no escape. Might as well stay here and keep me and others on the right track about the rules. |
Squaredsc | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 09:22 am     (((Nessie)))) im sorry. i know that i started calling brian porno guy, first because i couldn't remember his name. secondly i use it in the most non-mean kind of way. its descriptive and everyone knows who you are talking about it. its a term of affection. face it, it did soft porn, its nothing to be ashamed of. i think they make good money? anyhoo, im really liking (porno) brian. he's got a good head on his shoulders, not being ruled by his emotions, i hope he makes the final 3. |
Jagger | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 09:27 am     I've really enjoyed the way he has been playing the game, he sits back and listens, doesn't say too much, but yet is friendly with everyone. I think as long as his tribe is doing good he may stick around. Once the tribes merge he may be thought of as a threat so may end up leaving early after the merge, unless he can form an alliance with his original tribe that keeps him save once they merge. |
Marysafan | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 09:53 am     Well, one thing I have learned is not to judge people by their bio's! I fully expected not to like Brian (soft porn movies, car salesman) and found out that I not only like him...he has become one of my favorites. I fully expected to like Jed (gorgeous smile, dental student)and found him not to my liking...a big disappointment...(even more so after watching his interview on the Early show...this guy is so FULL of himself.) and CAR54 ...stick around...you help make this site what it is! Fun loving, articulate, and opinionated! lol! |
Moderator | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 10:02 am     It seems that everyone in this thread deserves a for the way you all have behaved in handling this situation. It seems that it is time to change the title of this thread, but not because someone asked or because it is inappropriate, or because the people who call him "the porn guy" are wrong. It seems time to change it in order to keep this thread to be what it is intended for -- a fan club thread Enjoy and thank you all for being so respectable. Hugs to everyone struggling with pain and grief. You are welcome here as is everyone. (14) |
Car54 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 10:32 am     Thanks, mod, I think so too. But like Square, I will probably still call him porn guy for fun. He did do porn, and he does sell used cars... he himself has laughed about his image. Owl, I probably got moderated some, but one of the good things about losing your mind is you can't remember what you posted, and when the mods delete it, you don't notice, so if it happened, it has never bothered me! And ya know.... this has gotta stay fun. This summer was not much fun. Personally I don't come here to argue. If it ain't fun, there is fun to be had lots of other places. |
Resortgirl | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 10:44 am     Mick, I don't care if you want to call him porn guy!! I just thought the title of the thread could be changed, so it wouldn't look like a negative Brian thread. I didn't post during BB either because, well because I was just plain scared to. I am going to try to post during Suvivor and hope that my sensitive little feelings don't get hurt...LOL! |
Djgirl5235 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 12:02 pm     I definitely was afraid to post on the BB boards this year, but luckily, WCV was so eloquent with her posts, and quite literally read my mind most of the time, there really was no need for me to. As for this season of Survivor - Brian, is by far, my favourite, and the one I pick to win it all. He definitely showed class and strength of character last night in handling the G/T situation, and won me over LARGE!!! Way to go Brian (aka Porn-Guy)... go get em! |
Twiggyish | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 12:51 pm     Right Car!!! |
Firebird05 | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 12:53 pm     I didn't think I was going to like Brian either after hearing about the porn stuff. I had terrible visions of Survivor turning into The Real World. He has turned out to be a pretty nice fellow. Since the majority of the people I do business with are used car sales people I should have known better. As far as the porn guy moniker I think he would be more insulted by the used car salesman title since they are now known as pre-owned vehical consultants. LOL |
Wargod | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 02:27 pm     LOL Birdie. Still liking Brian. This is the first time I've picked a favorite from the bios and been pleasantly suprised. He just seems to me like a very decent person. |
Trulyscrumtious | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 02:45 pm     Just goes to show you can't judge a book by it's cover, I love Brian and hope he takes it all. |
