Jumpcuts | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 09:19 pm     Is that his real last name or his porn name? [rimshot] Sorry, but SOMEONE had to say it. |
Breezy | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 09:54 am     Brian looked like one of the more interesting characters on Survivor this year. Since hearing about his soft porn associations however, the interest factor has decidedly decreased. |
Tatyana | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 11:28 am     I'm definitely on the Brian bandwagon, he's my favourite this year. His previous career as a soft porn actor doesn't bother me actually. It's just something he did. I think he'll do well in the game. |
Denecee | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 11:38 am     I was very touched about his concern for Tanya(sp). Is this guy really that nice? I hope so. He's such a sweetie. |
Beegee | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 06:33 pm     He seems very level-headed and treats others with respect. He was fair with both Ted and Ghandia on last night's show, and wisely encouraged reserving judgment, putting an end to the whispering, and bringing the issues out in the open. |
Niceguy | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 11:11 am     Brian will go very long into this Survivor challenge but it was interesting seeing him relate to the Red Berets. He seemed discombobulated. The Ted and Ghandia rift through a loop in his otherwise cool guy persona. He has,I think, respect for Ted and would like to see the both of them make the merge. He knows that this is strictly a game and the relationships there are transient. He'll definitely be final six, no doubt there. Short of a shark attack. |
Ginger | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:25 pm     BUMMER! Brian lost me as a fan tonight when he went on about how it's natural for women to do the cooking and cleaning and for the men to go out and hunt. What a sexist way of thinking. I used to be his biggest fan. He's going to have to do A LOT to redeem himself in my mind now. Boo-hoo! |
Csnog | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:27 pm     He was joking about it! |
Knightpatti | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:31 pm     Yes , he was joking and trying to be funny, since the women were being so serious about it. THat is why he said that about his laundry! |
Risa | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:34 pm     Are you sure? It looked like men behaving badly the whole show to me. |
Niceguy | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:35 pm     Uhhhhh, I don't think he was completely joking. He'll still go far however. He needs to keep that side of him under wraps. That will cost him a few votes in a final 2. |
Knightpatti | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:36 pm     Editing |
Hermione69 | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:36 pm     I didn't really get the sense he was joking either. |
Cassie | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:41 pm     I'm with Ginger. He went waaaay down in my estimation. If he had peeled himself off the rock-wall and lent a hand with the food prep (or anything for that matter) whilst cracking his "joke," then that would have been one thing. But he was definitely bonding with the guys in the "us vs. them" game and it p'd me off. I didn't like the sneer on his face either when he made the comments -- the look in his eye led me to think it was no joke. But hey, the guy's in porn, for God's sake--guess you can't expect a porn-star to be caught doing the dishes now, can you? |
Suitsmefine | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:41 pm     Naw, He was just joking!!!!!! I think he is a good guy (so far) , we must remember, we are not getting LF's from this show .....they let us see what they want. Maybe the men were acting a little badly, but there was enough tension in camp I would have stayed away as much as possible too!!! |
Cassie | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:43 pm     Good point, Suitsmefine, but tension or not--you hafta eat! |
Wiseolowl | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:48 pm     I think he was playing to the camera. I don't think he would be dumb enough to say that in front of the other tribe members. Probably tongue in cheek - the kind of remark alot of men make to be smart asses. Also I suspect that alot of it is in the editing . He just didn't go up to the camera and say that - the producers or whoever they are that get these soundbites plant the seeds hoping to get the kind of response he gave and he obliged them - and they probably love him for it. |
Suitsmefine | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 08:17 pm     Cassie , The guys did try to fish during their little outing,LOL, but I cannot imagine how I would be acting by this time on that island....I mean with all the drama between Ghandia and Ted, I'd be trying to joke around with anybody (even a camera) I could find outside that tribe......JMO As far as the porn stuff goes, hey we all have a past....I never did THAT, but I won't judge someone who has.... |
Curlyq | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 08:34 pm     The laundry comment was definitely a joke, but I don't think that whole thing about how the women went to their "duties" and how now that they're back to the good old days they're just following thousands of years of behavior was a joke. It was a little too lengthy and thought out to be a light-hearted quip. He went down in my estimation as well. I think the only reason I'd been looking at him through rose-colored glasses was because he'd managed to keep out of trouble with his tribemates. I think this led me to expect too much. I assumed he listened to Ted's side of the story in the interest of fairness, but maybe he really was just doing the guys stick together thing. Do the other tribe members call Jan "Granny" with her blessing, or was that something he just threw out there in anger? I've never noticed this nickname before. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 08:52 pm     He had a wry smile on his face and I am totally convinced it was tongue in cheek. His expression and the twinkle in his eye said it all. He was joking and simultaneously noticing how they actually were duplicating a pattern found in primative cultures. |
Sbw | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 08:56 pm     He is laid back. He doesn't make a big deal over a highschool he said/she said deal and he gave the cameras their material for the he/she division. The look on his face told the whole story. If he was serious, he wouldn't have brought up the laundry. He started toward the bottom of my list, but is coming up FAST. |
Ginger | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 10:45 pm     He was joking about the laundry, in an attempt to make light of his other comments about men and women, but there was a BIG part of him that was dead serious. To me it comes down to this: if he was honestly joking, then why on earth would he also be lazing around while the women cook and clean? The women did NOT say that Clay and Ted were the ones slacking off. They said the men. Brian may be the least offensive of the men, but he is definately in their gang. I hope those of you who say he's joking are correct. I liked Brian until now. But time will tell. |
Muse | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 11:54 pm     I agree that Brian was joking. The smile and deliberate glance off to the side when talking about needing to have his laundry done really leaves no doubt in my mind. Plus, well, you know...I don't think the women would do laundry. The best they can do is rinse off their clothing, and I really doubt that Brian would have someone do that. I'm surprised people took it seriously, since I thought it was pretty funny. Especially since everyone else was so serious and complaining about it. Perhaps someone (Helen?) mentioned the problem to Brian, and he decided to joke around to help ease tension. And I also think it's impossible to say if all of the men were slacking off. None of the men (except maybe Brian - he was joking around, so we don't know if he actually felt that the men compensated for the cooking by doing other work or not) seemed to think so. We saw a single clip of the men relaxing in the water in one episode, and that's enough for some to think the women are right. *And* that all of the men are equally to blame. *And* that none of the men tried to compensate later, or tried to pitch in with the "women's work" later on. |
Muse | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 12:12 am     One other thing. Am I the only one who thinks that Brian and Helen have an alliance? After all, she *told* him how they were going to vote (against Ted) in the last episode. I thought it was sort of strange and obnoxious at the time, but maybe not if they formed strategy together. And Helen being the swing vote to get rid of Ghandia seems a little strange, too. The way she talked about it, it seemed like she was getting a lot of pressure to vote both ways. We saw Ghandia working her, but I'm not sure that Ted or Clay would really have much persuasive power over her. But Brian, on the other hand...he might be more convincing, especially if he's her alliance partner. And it would explain why we've seen several occasions where Helen and Brian seem to have private conversations with each other, too...oh, and why Helen seems more fond of Brian than she does of some of the other contestants. |
Fruitbat | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 05:54 am     Muse, interesting. I had not thought of that but it makes sense. Another secret alliance. MB edited the footage of Colby and Tina and may be doing this again. Thanks. |
