I reiterate. This girl needs to get some coping skills.

Gail, I agree completely--and thought those was the thoughts I was trying to convey with my ramblings. (failure on my part)

Wink, you are also correct.

I hope that someday she realizes that in order to get real trust from others, she has to be willing to trust someone else.

What kind of coping skills is Spam lacking exactly? I think she is coping just fine. If only we could all cope so well.

From what I can see, she responds to issues emotionally at first, but then she rethinks the issue. After rethinking it, she focuses on the problem at hand and deals with it. The way she dealt with Merlin and her suspicions of Elitist cheating, attests to this. Most people wouldn't be so straight forward.

I say she is a force to reckon with and I am fascinated by her. She is Woman! Hear her Roar!

I feel this way about JuJu too. JuJu is more sophisticated in her approach though. But then, JuJu has a few years on Spam.

Spam is a force to reckon with. Juju is the GodDESS to worship and adhere to.

I bow down to Juju the Queen. I stand back in fascinated awe and horror of your new warrior princess Spam (from my limited understanding you had some kind of warrior princess in the first game, but I could be wrong about this).

From chat Wednesday afternoon

16:41] *** Spamgirl has joined #GroupChat
[16:41] <Azriel> Yipee!
[16:41] <Spamgirl> hey az
[16:41] <Azriel> Hi Spam
[16:41] <Azriel> was talking to myself
[16:42] <Azriel> are you surprised by who is up for banishment?
[16:42] <Azriel> I can't believe someone voted for you!
[16:42] <Spamgirl> it was jjuju
[16:43] <Azriel> you think?
[16:43] <Spamgirl> •••• her
[16:43] <Spamgirl> i know
[16:43] <Azriel> yikes
[16:43] <Azriel> how?
[16:43] <Spamgirl> she sent dig an email, suddenly dig changes the noms?
[16:43] <Spamgirl> please
[16:43] <Spamgirl> it was juju
[16:43] <Spamgirl> and now they're replacing cammie?
[16:43] <Spamgirl> and 4 up one out?
[16:43] <Azriel> huh?
[16:43] <Spamgirl> i'm pissed, and i'm not going to be quiet about it
[16:43] <Spamgirl> they're putting JONI IN
[16:43] <Spamgirl> but she isn't UP FOR BANISHMENT
[16:44] <Spamgirl> even tho they asked US our opinion, the opinion of those on the outside prevails
[16:44] <Azriel> what? I thought Digi asked ya'll to vote on it
[16:44] <Spamgirl> so we have to put up with some new •••••
[16:44] <Spamgirl> nod az
[16:44] <Spamgirl> and she didn't listen to us
[16:44] <Spamgirl> because those on the outside whine LOUDER
[16:44] <Azriel> Spam did you have a problem with Joni on the outside?
[16:44] <Spamgirl> no
[16:44] <Spamgirl> she just popped up out of no where
[16:45] <Spamgirl> but I WILL have a problem with here in here, she doesn't belong in here
[16:45] <Azriel> okay
[16:45] <Azriel> you can vote her out next week
[16:45] <Spamgirl> and so i will (hopefully) be banished this time
[16:45] <Spamgirl> that is if you guys have the balls to nominate her
[16:45] <Azriel> I hope to hell you aren't
[16:45] *** Laetitia is now known as CreatedAMonster
[16:45] <Spamgirl> i hope i am
[16:46] <Spamgirl> i can't stand most of these people in here
[16:46] <Spamgirl> i think one is a cheater
[16:46] <Spamgirl> one is obnosious
[16:46] <Spamgirl> more than one are two faced
[16:46] <Azriel> I feel sorry for Joni but I would have voted for no alternate
[16:46] <Spamgirl> i'm ill with it
[16:46] <Spamgirl> this doesn't include you
[16:46] <Azriel> hey calm down just have fun Spam and screw the rest
[16:47] <Azriel> I don't want you out! I have too much fun with you
[16:47] <Spamgirl> i'm going to have fun AND screw the rest
[16:47] <Spamgirl> assholes
[16:47] <Azriel> cool that's the attitude to have and quit worrying about the outside
[16:48] <Spamgirl> •••• the outside

That's coping???????? Sorry, Lala, I disagree! How about some cheese to go with Spam's whine?

Calling someone you dont even know a ••••• just because circumstances dont go your way is not coping. Crying all over the board because you think the viewers (or someone)are saying you are cheating, THEN, accusing one of your fellow game players of the same thing is not a coping skill i would want to have either.

You remember this chat was from three days ago of course?
That was my point.
She reacts emotionally at first and then she rethinks the situation.
She is entertainment.
The fact that you just pasted this little tid bit illustrates my point.

LaLa I would just like to see Spam think thru the situation a little longer and then react. I'm all for entertainment and this board provides plenty of it but some of Spam's tirades are almost painful to watch. I realize she is very young but she is a mother and a business woman and isn't doing herself any favours by acting (and maybe that's all it is tho I doubt it) so out of control when things don't go her way. Like you said "It is only a game".

O please!
She speaks her mind!
Nothing wrong with that. She might be a little off with her views, but AT LEAST she voices those views.
She defends her views, but she also considers opposing views.
That is coping. Just because she sticks to her principles doesn't mean she has no coping skills.
It is called integrity.

Who cannot admire that? Even when it does come in an obnoxious package?

Oh Wink, I did not see your post before I posted my last comment.
So, my last post was not a response to you.
It was a response to Gail

She is young. This is true. If only we all could be forgiven for our youthful tongues! (then again I am indulging myself because I consider myself relatively young).

On second thought; I think the youthful tongue is a great weapon. It is only with age that we learn to hold our tongues. This is good for the sake of tact, but sometimes it is best to let it flow! Age makes people (some) forget the power of a good tongue lashing! (obviously people will disagree with this statement, but they might agree with the generalization).

Since when does being a mother or a business women make you "mature" anyway? I see a lot of women who are doing a WHOLE LOT worse than this girl.

Think through the situation? Wouldn't you prefer the raw response? It makes for good TV . Makes it real. She is the most "real" thing in the whole game.

just wanted to stick up for a female

With age... I did not learn to hold my tongue at all... I am very outspoken when I feel it's called for.

What I did learn with age is that there is an appropriate "time and place" and to "choose my battles".

Yes, that comes with age to.
Not always.
Not even likely
I take back everything I said.
Age doesn't do anything.
All it does is reinforce who we are to begin with.
The bad and good.
People rarely change.

Here! Here! Nor~~~

Yes! I finally decided to add my two cents to the game.

I'm not in the least surprised by Spammies behavior. She is immature, brash, rude and extremely judgemental. She jumps to conclusions and makes false assumptions which she is more than willing to share with others...as facts.

Immaturity can be forgiven...intentionally hurting others based on partial truths formed in one's own mind~~~can't.

Grow up Spammie.


I am thoroughly surprised by the lack of drama in this game and the lack of real issues.

It seems as though in Game 1, the Players put their hearts and souls into it. We exposed ourselves and all became 'naked' for each other and for the 'watchers'. Trying to be entertaining became less of an issue for us. Winning became less of an issue for most of us.
Game 1 became an emotional experience that we tried to get through.

Thus far...it seems Game 2 is superficial. I am both surprised and disappointed by that.

I do realize that the Hostesses put a great deal of work into this Game and their efforts can be seen. I tend to think the problem lies with the contestants themselves. Many of the Players were secrative about themselves on the outside prior to the game, we can't expect much more from them on the inside...for that I am disappointed.

I think they are missing out on a wonderful, memorable experience.

LaLa the youthful tongue is only a weapon in the minds of the youthful. In more instances than not it is a curse. There is nothing wrong with stating your opinion but in my experience the way in which you state it will usually dictate how much credence is given to it.

P.S. No I definitely don't think Spammy is the most "real" thing in the game. And I have thought through the situation.

Kearie!!! Where have you been, girl? It's about time you got your butt back here.

Apparently the youthful tongue ( I should qualify this by saying the INTELLIGENT youthful tongue) is indeed a weapon. Your offensive stance towards Spam only proves this point. If she was just being an idiotic loud mouth with nothing to back up her opinions, then her tongue would be a curse.

However, she provides us with valid reasons for her opinions. Perhaps her delivery isn't the most tactful, but nobody is perfect.
Maybe the real curse is on those that are unable to see through the crap.
Anyway, I take it all with a grain of salt. I am thinking she is not entirely serious with the stuff she spouts off. She is just having fun with her "youthful tongue".

I don't have any trouble seeing thru crap LaLa. And crap gets pretty tiresome when it's a one-note pony. I guess you and I will have to agree to disagree on our perceptions of Spam.

Lala you have a bit of a youthful tongue yourself so you might see it from a different perspective. I can agree that it is entertaining at times to have someone speak their mind openly but it can also just become a ranting session with nothing accomplished. Ever watch a child throwing a tantrum? It is not that entertaining. :o)

personally, i'm getting tired of everyone excusing spammies bad behavior by referring to her age.

she acts like a spoiled, know-it-all, child who thinks that others need to hear her immature opinions.

she doesn't bother taking the time, nor does she have any interest in, getting the facts of a situation before spouting off.

she's too busy talking and not busy enough listening to others. to put it simply, spammie thinks she knows everything but really knows little of which she speaks.

she needs to grow up. until she does there is little value in her rantings, they're not worth taking the time to read them.

in this environment her faults are magnified, that's all.
