Julieboo | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:16 am     Hi-five to you too Fruity! |
Fanny | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:21 am     I've always liked B/P, although I was squirming a bit when Blake went on and on and on and on about marrying someone just like Paige. Eeeeek. Good thing they weren't brought up hillbillies. Oops that just slipped out. |
Whoami | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:26 am     Gotta agree with everyone on how Blake went on a bit too much about wanting to marry his sister (uh, I mean someone LIKE his sister! ). Maybe he has some sort of subconcious "crush" on her or something? She actually looked like she got a bit uncomfortable at the end of his lament too (sort of just standing there smiliing, like "OK, enough). |
Spygirl | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:33 am     I don't like it that our society is uncomfortable with siblings being so loving and complimentary...but I guess there isn't anything that I can do about that... ...besides, I guess everybody has their own boundaries and rules to live by... |
Julieboo | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 12:17 pm     It is kind of sad that some people end up making a big deal cuz Blake is too complementary of Paige. Bet if he were ragging on her, not as much would be said. |
Mamaanja | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:23 pm     Blake and Paige are my favorites! I hope my children love each other and have as much fun together when they grow up. What a fun experience to have with a sibling! |
Julieboo | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 03:02 pm     Hi-five to you too, mama! |
Mindyrama | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 10:00 am     I still like B&P..but that speech creeped me a bit too. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 10:51 am     If he said he wanted to marry someone just like his mom, would that seem weird to you too? It's rare to hear an honest emotion on television and I'd bet it was more that than anything else that made you uncomfortable. |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 12:07 pm     Some would see it as odd, Ocean. I don't.. I think they are a close sister and brother, good for them!! Just please don't let them beat Danny and Oswald Actually they are my second choice at this point. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 12:32 pm     I got the impression Paige was more embarrassed at being praised so much. I think that is a reaction that is pretty common. I took it as a very positive thing than Blake would feel that way about his sister. I could be wrong in thinking nothing "weird" is going on between them, as all I can go by is over the TV. It just looks like he sees her as someone very special who has a lot of great qualities. Just my 2 cents. |
Spygirl | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 04:11 pm     <Tosses in the same two cents as Lance...> |
Webkitty | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 04:38 pm     I don't think there is anything weird going on between them at all. I have come to see them as just two nice kids that get along. I DID think Blake overdid it a little with his speech. If he would have just said his sister was the best, a real trooper through it all, he was proud to be her brother, that would have been nice, but he kept going on and on....... I just felt a little embarrassed for him blathering on like that. But beside the speech, if Danny & Oswald don't win, I would be happy to see Blake and Paige win it. |
Gadzooks | Tuesday, April 30, 2002 - 12:00 am     I don't understand why people are so uncomfortable with the strong bond that Blake and Paige have. It is wonderful to see unconditional love between siblings. Why does every family relationship have to resemble the Jerry Springer show? My brother and I have a similar relationship and I know that he will be there as a moral support for the rest of my life and it would be a wonderful experience to travel together the way Blake and Paige have done. Blood is always stronger. The only people that know the real you are your siblings and if more people had this kind of relationship the world would be a better place. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 30, 2002 - 03:48 am     I love the bond they have and think it perfectly healthy. Desirable, in fact. |
Imbewitched | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 09:45 am     DITTO GADZOOKS!!!! |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 01:50 pm     I think that Blake's "going on and on" was kind of like John's crying on Survivor. They had just been through a really tough leg, and his emotions got the best of him. He probably is a little bit embarrassed about it too, thinking, why didn't I shut up when I could. |
Grooch | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 01:53 pm     Very good point, Mygetaway. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 06:20 pm     Julieboo, I came here to this thread to give you support, Blake and Paige are just playing the game! Go team Smiley!  |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 06:31 pm     i'll cosign that gadzooks. i only have one brother and there is a 13 year age difference so we aren't as close as i would like, we were when he was real little but then i went to college and started my own life and we didn't see each other as much, and now he is 19 and in college, and im 32 married with children. so i wish i had a sibling that i could be close to. |
Gadzooks | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 11:28 pm     It's never too late for a close relationship Squaredsc....include your bro in your life and he'll never forget it. When you're old and grey you'll have a shoulder to lean on. So, I'm really upset with the other teams and what they did to our smileys tonight. It was mean to block them on the plane. Blake and Paige did not brake any rules and what the other teams did was similar to what bullies do in the playground. Also, I'm disgusted with the flight attendants for letting the others take control of the plane that way. That was so unprofessional. Grrrrrrrlll.... I'm praying for the downfall of Tara/Will next....GO SMILEYS!!! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 11:42 pm     I agree Gadzooks, I can't believe those flight attendants let those 4 take over the exiting of the plane like that. This must have been before 9/11, even so, it was very unprofessional. Tara and Will and Chris and Alex were just miffed that THEY didn't think of the bag thing first. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, May 02, 2002 - 04:06 am     It was silly that the other teams criticized The Smilies for taking their bags on the plane and lying. Good playing and smart idea. And holding them up was good playing too. It is all in the game. The flight attendants saw a bunch of people having fun with a CBS camera crew and let it play out as it would. Survivor is huge in Australia. TAR may be as well. It was a small plane and I even wonder if there were other passengers on board. If there were, they must have been into the fun as well. It didn't matter anyway. They got the FF. I would have stood back and let them do their deal too if there were no complaints from others not in the show. |
Tksoard | Thursday, May 02, 2002 - 07:05 am     To me, it reminded me of the Guido's and the shananagans they pulled at the airport. Blocking the way so the other team(s) couldn't get through.  |
Sunshinemiss | Thursday, May 02, 2002 - 07:29 am     Cutthroat tactics this close to the end. Makes for good watching, but it was at least impolite and at worst manipulative. My opinion on the brother/sister controversy is from the persective of someone who is normally very optimistic and upbeat, as these two seem to be.. sometimes people think you're being fake or not real with them, because it is so easy and common for people to complain and be negative in life, that you're thought to be odd or have something wrong (or are covering something up) if you have a sunny disposition. Not to say I don't have my moments, goodness knows, as I am sure these two do too. Maybe they are just not as entertaining to watch as the evil sorts on TV, but in real life I would prefer them ANY day over most of the other contestants. |
