The poll is awfully close for Moon to get banished... It looks like HiMay is out for sure. Don't forget to vote. The final 3 are all considered winners.

Well, let's see, only 119 votes cast so far (who out there only voted for one?!). Last time 219 were cast, that means there's lots of folks (like me) waiting till the last minute? I can be bought...

Its almost 2AM ET. Right now looks like Moon and HiMay are going to get banished but its probably still too close to call.
If that happens, the results will be similar to BB, 3 men in the final. Will a woman ever win one of these reality shows? Will there be mayhem similar to what BB had the last 2 nights?

Misslibra: you genderist! I think all the people playing are winners. Even Mantastic (his photo on his profile alone was worth some giggles). All the players deserve a shirt.

Hey Vasix, that was a secret you were suppose to tell anyone I'm a genderist ! :)

That's nice to, how you put (ist) on the end of gender. :)

Your right they are all winners. But It would be nice to have one of the women in there till the end.

But I do find it amazing how the women are always getting voted out. Someone should do a study on this phenomenon.

What is it about women in any of the BB games, that makes people want to vote them out ? We are such lovable creatures, don't you agree Vasix ? :) I just don't understand it.

Misslibra: okay, here's some brutal truth. OverWHELMING majority of people hooked up with this BB and Survivor and this TVGH game are women. Pure and simple. And women don't vote for women. Sorry. Hard to believe. But true. Women don't vote for women, they choose men. Look at Eddie. A classless, foulmouthed, woman hostile jerk who thought loving his own FRIGGIN family was some virtue that only he discovered. Women voted him in droves. He was a poor wounded bird/son. Set up a website. Went gaga over him. Now look at Cass, pure class. Some had a problem with some of the points she made about square dancing being racist, but over all, every poster said she was a class act. didn't make it to the final three. Sorry, women don't vote women. They vote for men. Many women view competition with the subconcious imperative: choose a winner that would be a good father/mate/son.

<----------Vasix now running for cover before all the women and half the men come in here and trash him. :)

LOL ... I agree with you on a lot of what you say, but this woman, (yours truely) was not rooting for Eddie. Cass I liked. See me, and you were actually on the same page.

So you can't lump all of us Women in the same boat.

So would that mean that men only vote for men ? You guys don't vote for us girls to win, why ??

And what are you running for ?? I can tell by some of your post how you like to be smacked around from time to time. You like the pain ... LOL

Come back here, and get your spanking ! :)

No but seriously, I support women, unless they do something really dumb. Or irritate the hell out of me. Or if they are a Republican, running for office ! :)

That's a generalization Vasix but you may be right. Women have always been much more critical of other women. You see it in the workplace all the time. Because we've had to overlook a man's imperfections as a mate we are more tolerant of men's faults.

Wcv -- whoa, girl! Interesting statement, because we've had to overlook man's imperfections... it's a darn good thing for your safety that this board is habitated primarily by women!


I think I have to agree with Vaxie here, it's our old biological drives that come into play here. We want men (well, most of us do, sort of, then as we grow older we change our minds and decide we'll only settle for the perfect man which is yet another way of dissing men... but I digress) and we have to compete with other women to get them. We'll vote out the competition every time. Me, I'm going with Vykin and Moondance for my two top favs - I adore Sir Roger the Blessed, but I've never been able to root for the favorite. That's that biological drive to nurture the underdog, I suppose! Cass and Curtis were my favs in BB, even tho Eddie gave me my favorite BB line when he talked about perspective... a bad day in the house is running out of toilet paper, but a bad day in RL... etc.

Wcv: yes I was talking in very general terms, did not want to broad brush it, I just was trying to set the argument.

MissLibra: I like intellectual smacking around but the physical smacks can only be kisses. I'm an apple tree and we don't do violence. And S&M is definitely off my list! Sorry Xostile (wherever you are).

Kar: yes Eddie had some great quotes, however I was horrified at the slack he got cut for his misogynist ways but hes cancer survival struck an enormous empathy chord.

that this board is habitated primarily by women!

My only excuse is that my brain is still spasming from the Syncronicity thread. And don't forget...I know when to run!

Vasix -- while Eddie was not my favorite, unfortunately he's not unlike most early-20-something males. Call me Pollyanna, but I think he'll grow out of it, but then I think everyone will eventually grow out of anything. That's my mantra from God, and the same thing God tells me every morning, "hon, just grow up". I am still amused and amazed by the fact that Eddie cheated in the bike race, yet for all the screaming and yelling about cheating that went on later, that was overlooked. I guess some kinds of cheating are more chillin' than other kinds.

I'd take a Curtis-type guy over an Eddie-type guy, any day. Humor, intelligence and the ability to see all sides of an issue are my top three requirements for the perfect man. I should perhaps mention here that when I related that list of requirements to a friend of mine, she politely smiled and suggested that perhaps I would be better off getting a dog. Thoroughly insulted by her remark, I did.

How's that dog working for you, Kar? LMAO!


And can I just call you Polly? Love the name.

Wcv - it's okay, we've all been there! We do have to accept a lot from those fault-ladden fellows, to say nothing of what they have to put up with from us hormone-driven harpies. If they only weren't so darn adorable...

Vasix -- he vexes me! He whizzes on the floor, destroys the few treasured possessions I own, yelps and whines at the slightest discomfort, runs the other way when I want him to come closer, and then licks my face and acts like I'm the most wonderful person in the world. Darn, he's just like a man!

Oh, S*^%, we're suppose to be ADORABLE????? If you gals would just publish these rules us guys could do better! Wait...maybe not. At least men are simple. Few moving parts and many are interchangeable. What's not to like?

Take a lesson from the dog.

He accepts us for what we are. His life is a perfect sermon on affection and devotion. He will run his legs off for you. He will submit to almost any hardship to make you happy. He will risk his life for you if necessary.

If you are moody or unkind at times, he will forgive you. He will not complain if his food is scant. He will bear burdens without complaint. He is thankful for small favors. He does not sulk or nurse a grudge against you.

His additional friends do not lessen his love for you. He does not question your dress or looks. He is not temperamental like we humans.

His purpose is to please on all occasions. He does not bore us with his troubles. His thanks and appreciation are genuine.

He does not pry into your private affairs. He never double crosses you.

His is not to question why, but to do and perchance to die for you. He trusts you implicitly.

He is a living symbol of faith, hope, and love. Yes, brother, he is a builder, for such a friend does something constructive to our character.

Noslonna -

where's the part about whizzing on the floor?

You know the more I think about this, the more I think I've been had... in addition to the above, consider this...

He gets whiney when I try to do anything that doesn't include him.

When we go out walking, he's far more interested in everybody and everything else than me.

He expects me to wait on him, bringing him his supper and even water!

He's usually not very happy about what I give him to eat, and wants what I'm having.

When I tell him my innermost secrets and reveal the yearnings of my soul, he just sits there with a dumb look on his face.

Did I mention that whenever a nice lady comes over to pet him he simply can't resist the urge to stick his nose... oh never mind.
