Car54 | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 08:02 am     I think he is nice to the women, and he says what the thinks the men want to hear. He is trying really hard to be all things to all people. I think he really regretted what the video told the others about him. He has worked hard to keep his mouth shut most of the time. He is gonna need to do some damage control. |
Fruitbat | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 08:21 am     I bet that video fades quickly from focus. We are not seeing any footage of this but I think Brian is relating very well to the women. He is very contained and does not seem to be stepping on any toes or irritating anyone. Clay is an irritation to them and Ted is becoming one. Ted is also a huge IC threat for anyting physical out of the water. Brian will survive these two. |
Brenda1966 | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 08:39 am     I'm a big Brian fan and I just cringed at that video. His wife must not know much about Survivor at all! Survivors in the past have voted on who most deserved the prize, not on who needed it the most (or else Kelly would have won). The cars can easily be explained because he sells cars, it's that piano that worries me. I hope the survivors remember this is a game, not a charity event. From Ken's early show appearance, I think it's safe to say that if Brian does make it to the end he won't have Ken's vote. So far, my choice of winner is still Brian. |
Fluff | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 08:50 am     Her lips aren't enhanced. She says it runs in her family, her dad has them, etc. I give her the benefit of the doubt. One time Spelling called her in the office during the Melrose days and told her to cool it with the injections. She told him that she didn't have any. |
Realfan | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 09:56 am     I also am a huge Brian fan. He has played the game so smart! So many days and nights with these people, and until last night, not a soul mentioned his name in connection with being voted out. Not one. As Jake said, "He's a class act." Thank God he didn't leave last night! And the player they showed who was concerned about the cars was Helen, who said IF she was considering voting him out, this would come into play in her decision. But she's not--not yet, anyway. I wanted to scream at his idiot wife, though. I really felt his pain as he sat there tensely worrying what might appear next on his "reward" video. Reward, hah! I do think there probably was a lot of shots of the baby, but they chose to show US the "house tour" part. (Brian is always thinking of the game, which is why I like him.) Wasn't the piano a baby grand, not a grand grand? They run $4-5,000 or so, I think. It's not that unaffordable if you're into playing piano (a nice trait). The house itself didn't look that amazing--nice, but no mansion. I think it was a two-car garage, for instance, not a three-car. I actually spent time imagining things he could tell them to diffuse any animosity or assumptions about his income. Like he got the caddy for a steal, below Blue Book at an auto auction, because he's in the business (my father and brother own a dealership--my brother drives a different car home every night). And the other is the dealer's car. Or his wife works in sales, and it's a company car. And the paino is something he worked and saved for because music means so much to him. And his wife mentioned Fiji because they've always dreamed of it, or she was jealous he got to go to an island in Thailand. It's all in the spin. What did Kenny say about Bri on the Early Show? I didn't care much for Ken. Probably sour grapes. Of course, I'm a Brian fan. |
Pamy | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 10:29 am     I like Brian, I think he is just being funny when he talks like a male chavanist. He seems to have a fun sense of humor and I think he means no harm. I too couldn't believe his wife in that video, at first it looked like she was going to do a strip tease with their little kid right there, I was glad she didn't. I think Brian is clever enough to explain the piano and cars, the rest of the house didn't appear to be overly expensive, in fact, it didn't look like they had many furnishings at all. They way she talked it sounded like Brian was really into to playing the piano, he could say he saved for yrs to buy it. I want him or Jan to win |
Squaredsc | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 11:10 am     ditto realfan and pamy, except the jan part, lol. |
Tabbyking | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 11:53 am     i think even a baby grand is closer to 10k these days. he can say it is his parents and they moved into a retirement condo and didn't have room to take it and he plays. which might all be true, anyway! i just think it was goofy how his wife showed only the 'trappings', rather than the little guy playing on a swingset or something. what does soft porn pay these days, anyway?! remember tom made quite a bit on surviiivor and he had a feather, not to mention a blur, in his pants! lol |
Car54 | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 03:43 pm     There is are some posts over at SS that say that Brian quit his car salesman job the beginning of October, shortly after the show started airing. Interesting. |
Avrey258 | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 07:51 pm     If Brian is "just being funny" when he talks like a chauvinist I guess I must have missed the joke. On one show he couldn't seem to stop talking about the women cooking and cleaning. I have yet to see him "hunt" as he explains that this is what men do. The constant "observations" are a ploy to let us know what he really thinks and telling his wife to clean the house was another attempt at Brian trying to show his manliness in front of the guys. It makes him look weak and small in my opinion. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 07:57 pm     i had thought (and hoped) it was a joke, but it is starting to look like brian talks like that a lot. i wish he hadn't said, "well, clean it up!" when his wife said the house was messy. by itself, it wouldn't have bothered me, but on top of all his women and domestic chores talk...i hope we see more of a hardworking guy and not someone who has 'pink jobs' and 'blue jobs' at his house! |
Muse | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 10:38 pm     I still think Brian was joking about the "woman's role" stuff the first time we saw him mention it. But the second time (when he mentioned it to some of the Sook Jai people) seemed more serious. He seems to find the division of labor in the tribe fascinating. And while I think it's fine to think that's interesting, I'm not quite as thrilled about his "it's like the good old days" stuff. His joking combined with some sexist leanings (which aren't that extreme, IMO, but are still there) really isn't making him look good to viewers. However, I still think Brian is a very interesting character. One who isn't going to win, but still interesting. I like him better than a lot of the other Survivors just because I find him entertaining without being truly mean-spirited or annoying. |
Mckryan | Saturday, November 23, 2002 - 07:13 am     I figured out who I think Brian looks like - a young Kenny Loggins! |
Mckryan | Saturday, November 23, 2002 - 07:14 am     Whoops - forgot the pics!
 |
Tabbyking | Saturday, November 23, 2002 - 08:50 am     yep, he does resemble him! after looking for a while, this pic of kenny looks a lot like lex, too!! |
Mckryan | Sunday, November 24, 2002 - 08:09 am     Must be the spikey hair! ;) |
Whit4you | Sunday, November 24, 2002 - 08:49 am     I have always thought he looked like Patrick Swayze - better at times worse at times...
Compare to pic just above |
Mckryan | Sunday, November 24, 2002 - 10:11 am     Hmmm...he does look somewhat like Patrick, too. It's our ever-morphing Brian! |
Csnog | Sunday, November 24, 2002 - 10:28 am     Brian is this years Richard Hatch. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, November 24, 2002 - 02:12 pm     Penny of course took a jab at Brian.. they asked what she thought of his sexist remarks and she said something about not being surprised now that she knows what his "other job" is.. I like Brian more than most of them. He and Helen seem to stay on an even keel and I admire that. |
Hummingbird | Sunday, November 24, 2002 - 08:52 pm     Brian's scull isn't wide enough to look like Patrick Swayze and he only reminds you of Kenny Loggins because he is getting so skinny. Does anyone remember Brian from Evening Shade? I sure don't. He would have had to be a kid back then. Maybe he played one of Burt Reynolds older son's friends. |
Hermione69 | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 01:51 pm     Brian's comments about how the others were waiting for him and Clay to come back after the RC "like sheep waiting for their masters" just made me roll my eyes. He is awfully cocksure of himself. I think he is being edited for a fall. |
Ladytex | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 09:14 pm     I hope you're right, Hermione, cuz I don't like Brian at all. |
Lyn | Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 12:51 pm     I used to like Brian but now he's starting to look like an obnoxious boob |
Car54 | Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 01:00 pm     I think Brian has some issues with control. Watch when he speaks...he chooses his words extremely carefully, always uses complete sentences....he is very very concious of how he appears. The only time he really came close to losing it was when he was on the elephant ride...he was a nervous wreck because he had no control over what was happening. He has managed this beautifully so far...he must be a very very strong guy. |
