Reality Bits and Bytes.
In looking at the posts in "Tangent Time" it has been brought to my attention that many of you are fans of reality shows. While they aren't my cup o' tea, I'm more than happy to provide this spot for you guys to come and chat about them. Enjoy.

OK, I'll go first. SURVIVOR, of course, is a great show. I still haven't seen the first season! I guess it's not as much fun when you already know the outcome. Season 2, with COLBY, is still my all-time favorite. It has been getting predictable. I don't like it when they vote out the people who are most deserving to be there (Terry!). I really liked it when Tom the fireman won. He was one person who I thought really deserved to win. Sometimes I wonder about the challenges. I think they should be more tied to what you would really face if you were trying to survive on your own. I'd like to see more team building before they merge. I would love to be on SURVIVOR, but couldn't leave my kids for that long. Plus, I tend to speak before I think, and would probably piss off somebody pretty quickly. Even when I do take time to think first, I often just want to make my point anyway. Hmmm, maybe AMAZING RACE is more my style. My brother and I have talked about going on, but again, leaving the kids. That, and we'd get on each others' nerves! Nevertheless, I think we'd probably outlast at least half of the teams. My husband and I complement each other very well, so I think we would make an awesome team. Maybe when they come up with a concept where we can drag the kids and a nanny with us, that might work. Or AMAZING RACE: WEEKEND EDITION. Then we could be with the kids all week, and get a break from them on the weekends when we're Racing. Somehow, I don't think that any CBS executives are going to try to put that one on the air!
jess: I didn't like it either when Terry got voted off.
I'm a huge Survivor fan. Thursdays just aren't the same without it. I agree that they always seem to vote off the most deserving. Although I have to say I would love to have seen Cirie in the final two this year. Danielle should never have gotten as far as she did. I've been told I should apply to be on the show. But like Jess I speak before I think and if I feel I'm right about something, I'm like a dog with a bone. Too stubborn for my own good. I'd be the first one voted off. Well, maybe I could keep my mouth shut long enough to make it to the second person voted off.
I don't watch too much reality t.v. other than Survivor. An occasional episode of Amazing Race, but that's about it. Watched one episode of Hell's Kitchen. Quite frankly, had I been a contestant I would have had to hit Chef over the head with a meat cleaver!
Favorite reality shows:
1) Survivor
2) Amazing Race
3) Big Brother
4) Apprentice
5) Bachelor/Bachelorette (growing weary of this one though)
Been known to watch on occasion:
1) Wife Swap
2) Fear Factor
Lostbean: I was a Stephanie fan too. She got robbed the first time she was on and deserved a second chance.
How many of you would like to Omarossa eat sh*t and die?
Lostbean--who is Probst dating? I didn't keep up with that one. I'm kinda opposite of you, in that I thought one reason Terry deserved to win, other than completely DOMINATING in the challenges, was because he does have his life together. He is the definition of a survivor. You take what life gives you, and make it work.
JAS--If you and I go on Survivor on the same season, as least one of us will make it past being the first one voted off! Unless they pull a fast one and vote 2 people off at the same time, as they've been known to do! How funny would that be? At least we could bond!
I would have difficulty with the swimming parts of the challenges. And that's huge. I swim, but just, you know, fooling around with the kids. I don't think I'm a strong enough swimmer to compete with the 20-somethings.
How about a team concept for Survivor, a la Amazing Race? Me, JAS, and Lostbean on a team. There could be 12 teams, and the whole team gets voted out at tribal council. One of you guys could swim and I could...um...conjugate verbs or something.
Oh, ladies, I am so ashamed of myself for that tasteless and crude attempt that I made earlier trying to be funny. It's to everyone's credit that they didn't respond. I am so sorry. Please accept my apology.
GB: Since I know that you respond to whining, begging and pleading, ple-e-e-a-se delete my comment from the board. Thank you.
All: I've enjoyed my chats with all of you but I'm just too embarrassed to return. Have fun, guys! Bye.
LIG -
No need to be embarassed. I wasn't offended at all. I didn't really plan to check this board because I don't really watch reality tv. I have NEVER watched Survivor.
I did watch the 1st season of the Apprentice and hated Omarossa.
OK, I don't even remember Julie from Vanuatu. Most of that season was pretty forgettable, I think.
OK, so JAS can swim, Lostbean can slingshot food to wildlife, and I'll....ooh, I know...I'm a really good proofreader! My husband is always e-mailing me reports before he submits them.
L-i-G--don't go away. You fit right in with those of us who speak (or type) before thinking things through. And probably the only person who would be offended by your comment was Omarossa herself, so don't sweat it.
Jess,
That would be hoot if both of us were on Survivor. They wouldn't know who to boot off first! Of course you're right. It would be one of those "hey, let's get rid of two at the same time" and off we would go. But we'd still get a vacation and not have to eat bugs. And we'd get to hang with Jeff.
If we go as a team with lostbean, I'm happy to do the swimming. I'm a certified diver so I think I might be able to manage. Well, hopefully. I just quit smoking so I'm expanding my lung capacity as I write!
I live in Cleveland, OH. Maybe Jess and I can train to keep our mouths shut so we don't leave LB on her own!
LB - wasn't a smoker when I got certified. I have a tendency to take up smoking for a few months every few years. Broke up with the boyfriend last October and started smoking. Time to quit now. I never, ever smoked as much as Shane! Can't even fathom that. Makes my lungs hurt just thinking about it! By the way, just read that he's smoking again. Smoked 4 cartons in 7 days after he was voted out. Something crazy like that.
Haven't dived in Lake Erie. Too unpredictable and I'm not that brave! A lot of people dive the shipwrecks there. It's a shallow lake so it's good for that, but because it's shallow the slightest wind can start kicking up waves. Plus the visibility sucks and the water is cold!!! I prefer the Caribbean. If I dive locally, it's in quarries. But I usually just try to get a couple dives in when I go on my annual cruise.
I don't know if training would help me with speak first, think later! Maybe we can just set it up so anytime someone does or says anything remotely stupid (I have no tolerance for stupid people) or offensive, you just smack me upside the head to keep me from opening my mouth!
With my luck, that season of Survivor would be somewhere cold. Sorry, but I'd HAVE to get myself booted the first night. I do not like the cold.
Lostbean - I never thought about it that way; if it's cold, no bikini. Hmmm...maybe I could tolerate the cold. As long as it's not the Arctic. Wonder if they've ever thought of doing Survivor - Alaska. They could live in igloos. One of the challenges could be racing dog sleds. Probably never happen. They like to pick cute young guys and girls and send them somewhere warm so they all walk around half naked. Not that I mind watching some of these hot young guys.
Yeah, boys. Some men just can't handle strong, independent women. Their loss.
Girls, you just need to find a man who is confident enough in himself to enjoy the independence that you show. Take it from me--find a man who is about 10 years older than you and has already "found" himself. My husband is several years older than I am, and when we first started going out, I described myself to him as "a strong, independent woman of the nineties." Older men who have their shit together are very attractive, I think. Much more so than men who are still searching for what they want to do with their lives.
Jess -
As a 36 year old guy with his shit together, Amen!
Lostbean, I'm with you. I just don't have it in me to lay low! I am what I am. Maybe I'll take Jess' advice and go with an older man. Well, older than I normally do. Then again, maybe I should go significantly younger. Isn't that the new trend? Maybe I can get one before he becomes a complete moron and train him the right way.
GB, I'm not sure I've ever met a 36 year old man with his shit together. I salute you!
jas65 -
Trust me. Together. Not neccessarily the best roomie or boyfriend, but together. I own my house, my car and my soul.
And my massive collection of por...er, DVD's.
GB - together is a good start. However, with that collection of por, er, DVD's, sounds like you must be your own best friend. Sorry, that was bad, but I couldn't resist.
jas65 -
When you're right, you're right.
Part of being together is not only being brutally honest but also able to laugh about yourself...
I wouldn't put it out there if I couldn't take it.
GB - agreed. Part of being together is being able to laugh at yourself. Life is far too short to take oneself too seriously. And you definitely have a well-developed sense of humor.
jas65-
That's not the only thing about me that's well developed...
;o)
You guys crack me up! Before I started dating my husband, someone asked me what I was looking for in a man. My list included: employed, most-if-not-all of his own teeth, most-if-not-all of his own hair, and English-speaking. I'm happy to say my husband met all of those requirements. And still does! Like LostBean, I started with the basics and worked my way up. I did get some grief about him being older than me, but it was so nice to not be with someone who was returning to school because he worked in his chosen field for 2 years and decided he didn't like it. Or wasn't sure if he wanted kids. Or all the other bullshit I had already been through with younger men. We've been together for 10 years, and he's just as wonderful now as the day I met him. (sigh)
Jess -
See, I have a really simple list. One thing.
No short haired brunettes.
Years of field research has proven that they are all completely crackers.
Jack has a great line in Lost. He sits down beside A.L. who says something like "Don't try to tell me that everybody doesn't hate me."
He says "Only if you don't try to convince me that every woman in the world isn't crazy." or something like that.
I can SO identify.
No offense to the ladies, even the short haired brunette ones...
lostbean - you're absolutely right. A pulse would be a good starting point. And Jess' basics might be the most realistic I've ever heard. I have to add to the mix, though; ability to put down the damn toilet seat! Nothing like a middle of the night wet ass to wake you up!
GB - OMG. Good thing I'm the only one in the office this morning. They'd think I was nuts. Laughing so hard I'm crying. Well-developed...,
Jess - I hope you know how lucky you are! Who cares about the age difference? You've obviously done something right.
I definitely know how lucky I am! Which is another reason it would be so hard to leave for six weeks or whatever to do Survivor. Although that would be a great experience. Assuming, of course, that I could manage to keep my mouth shut and make it to the jury!
So this is where all the good conversation has been hiding!!!!
;)
gb- ouch, that hurt. No one ever told me to let my hair grow long or to bleach it so that I wouldn't be a "loser magnet" any more.... :>(
I have been dissed at my own blog.
Probably an ex...
Oh, and "Short haired brunette"? Don't let your hair grow. You're beautiful just the way you are.
And thanks for reinforcing my point for me... ;0)
gb- LOL! My point was that losers drive loser magnets crazy. What was yours....?
Short haired brunette -
I have completely forgotten my point.
Are you busy Friday?
;0)
Lostbean -
Actually, in that picture my hair is all one length to my waist and I have it in a pony tail.
Many, Many moons ago.
NOW, I'm a short haired brunette.
LB -
If you follow the link to my old website in the "Links" area, and look at the links beside the big picture, you'll see "Pictures".
Follow that and you'll see two pages of me with way more hair than I have now...
I still get a bit misty-eyed when I think about how cool my do used to be...
A guy with long hair.....some of my yummiest memories!!
C4L -
Funny. Most of my yummy memories happened while I had long hair.
Coincidence?
GB said: "Short haired brunette -
I have completely forgotten my point.
Are you busy Friday?"
More LOL on here today than I've had in a while. I told my kids I was "working" on the computer. When I chortled (how do you like that one?) at the above quote from GB, that kinda gave me away. I gotta go do Mom stuff now.
Greybishop -
So why did you cut your hair? How long ago did you cut it?
Coincidence?....I think not!!! :)
gb- That wasn't very nice of you. We both know that you have DJ gigs on Friday nights....
BTW, I was just pulling your chain. You had to know that someone was going to challenge your crack about "short haired brunettes".
C4L -
Oddly enough, I cut my hair just before I went completely crackers myself. ;0)
Ok, actually, I cut it all off about 6 years ago, when I realized that it was becoming less and less cool and more and more sad that I had hair like that past 30.
shorthaired brunette -
A short haired brunette toying with my emotions? I'm stunned.
;0)
It just hit me. I think I know who "short haired brunette" is.
Eep.
So, GB, is she someone from your past?
C4L -
Not exactly.
If it's who I think it is, she is a short haired brunette (although that is subject to change at a moments notice) and her brother is now dating another short haired brunette who IS from my past.
I could be wrong, but somehow I doubt it.
C4L -
By the way, have you been able to find the counter yet? I haven't gotten home and I probably won't get a chance to check it until tomorrow night, so I'm curious if it's showing up on other machines...
Sorry, GB, no counter that I can see.
And, I visited Damion's blog. So, you are going to be an "uncle", huh?
C4L -
Yep. An "Uncle". Of course, they're in Calgary and I'm like 2000 miles away, so how "Uncle-y" I get to be will be debatable.
Knowing the Dad (The Mom is a perfectly nice and normal gal) like I do, I won't be suprised if the tyke is dragging ME to a bar on her 18th birthday. Good, (hic) Irish stock on both sides...
C4L -
The invisible counter is wierd. Shows up here on another machine. I'll check it at home. It's on the right, below "Ipower Blogger" and "Previous Posts". Straaaange.
Gotta fly. Karaoke waits for no man.
Doesn't show any mercy to those of us who can carry a tune either...
GB -
Maybe the counter is for your eyes only?
Have fun with karaoke, my son now runs the one we have at the hotel!
Ever notice how EVERY area we go to becomes its own Tangent Time? It's just like a conversation...you start on one thing, go to another, come back to the first...Not complaining, just noticing. Off now to watch episodes 7 & 8. I'm almost caught up!
GB -
After reading what ktwolf said at the EW site, I tried IE and now see the counter. Using Netscape, I don't see it!
C4L -
Thanks, that's good to know.
losbean. What did you think about that BB. ep.i also thaught the show was going to start. I'am not a fan of all stare shows,it seams the 2nd time around everybody thinks there actors.
Good morning LB.I probly won't do any voteing,if i did it would be for JAMES THE VETO KING.Ialways likes him the best.
O yea, let me sorry now for my bad spelling.
lb & rip: Ivette and Danielle are on my list.
Nope not a bunky fan,i have to get back to work,my pain-in-the-ass boss keeps calling me. will check in later.
lb: Since voting is kind of slow and cumbersome, just those two. There are no directions on the site so I'm having to guess what the rules are. I place one vote, hit refresh and vote again. It's the refresh that takes a while on my computer. I went for people who I remembered having good feelings about because they manipulated with integrity (if such a thing is possible). Some of the people weren't memorable to me and others I remembered having bad feeling about (Allison, Jase, Will, Howie).
I've got errands to run before it gets too hot outside, so I'm signing off for now.
Man o man i hate comming to work and they expect me to work,it's not wright.Will is also one of my pic's.anyone who can lie that much and win,is a good player.
LB-i just hope they get wright into it. I don't want them to spend the whole show picking the players.
Not sure.I think 1 hr. 3 times a week. happy 4th if i'am not back.
Is anyone else watching Treasure Hunters?
Good morning LB. what did you think of BB. I was glad they picked the players and got started wright away.I know it would have been hard for jace to put him self on the block to get jennel votted off,but i think it would have ben the smart move.She came in 2nd in almost every chalnge.she's a Very good player.
LB. that was me.
Poor Chicken George. He's in Hell and doesn't even know it!
Danielle shot herself in the foot. She should have laid low and flown under the radar like last time.
This year is going to be a real nasty romp in the BB House!
LB: Tuesday night. I know that the schedule has been tweaked this year but I can't remember what the tweak is. I just remember feeling disappointed about it.
What's up. i was glade to see the action wright away.the way i see it,if you don't lie,back stab,throw people under the bus in this game you loose.under the radar in an alstare game is not going to work.they all no that trick.like you guy,s said they have all sean each other play.
As far as george gose he has to know that all these yong prety people arn,t going to click with him.he,s about the only one who can fly under radar.if he can make the half way point,by then everyone else will be so hated george may make the end.since i,am JUST over 40 i usaly route for the older people.
I agre but if he trys to play both sides,it may look as tho he,s not some one you can count on.
I swore I wouldn't but since there was nothing else on t.v. I watched Big Brother. I really just wanted to see who was voted in. I gagged when Julie read Janelle's name. I cannot stand her. I don't know why everyone is so hot on her. I have a bad feeling I just got sucked in to watching this season!
Nakomis is another one who doesn't appear to have a target on her back yet.
Lostbean,
Must have missed the Chicago burb comment. Anyway, grew up in Addison and West Chicago. Moved to Cleveland as a preteen.
The fans really picked some odd people for BB didn't they? Of course I'm not surprised that the majority of them appeared to have been chosen for their looks. Some of them are already annoying me and it's barely started.
This is one of those shows that if I can't find anything else on, I'll watch and be amused. And sometimes disgusted. And sometimes just frankly amazed at people's stupidity. It's not a show I rush home to make sure I watch. But you're right, it's something on during the summer of repeats. And at least it's not up against Lost repeats!
The house in West Chicago (Mulberry St) was near some golf course, backed right up to the prairie path. Addison (S. Iowa St.) I don't remember really what's out there. And of course we're talking many, many years ago. I have friends I go visit in Chicago (Carol Stream) every year, and they've taken back by both the houses. They're still the same. Funny how I can remember the address to both houses, but can barely remember by cell phone number.
I hope you're wrong that Lost doesn't start again until November. That would be an awful long wait. And why would they double up season 2? I'll have to do some research to see if I can find out.
As for BB, I agree, I would like to have seen Ivette back and I'm really glad they didn't vote Cowboy back on. I thought he was going to cry when he didn't get picked!
I had 7 brothers and sisters growing up. Our major form of amusement (other than torturing each other)was riding our bikes on the prairie path to this tiny little store for candy. That was back when candy was $.15. It was 30 years ago!!
I do seem to recall something about the dates for Lost, but for some reason I'm thinking that they were going to run so many, go on break, and then run the rest. Then again, I know 24 has done exatly what you're saying, starting late in the season and running no repeats. It works for them. If you hear anything more, be sure to let us all know.
What a small world we live in. Of course, I've been gone a long time, but I still remember. I loved WE. I still think Chicago is the greatest city. I'm fortunate that I can go back so easily, since I can drive in a matter of hours, or hop a a plane for $100.
Not really a Bears fan. Hard to believe, I know. Usually once a fan, always a fan. But I'm in Cleveland and love the Browns. Even if the f***ers break our hearts year after year.
20 year reunion? You look younger in your picture. And I certainly don't see beached whale. You're still younger than I'm am.

Lostbean,
I just read that Lost doesn't go into production until August 7th. Not sure what that means in terms of season start date. I don't know how far in advance they tape. I would think that with this type of show, to keep things quiet, they would tape more than a couple of weeks ahead, but what the heck do I know.
LB - on the bright side, if season 3 doesn't start until November, it will give greybishop time to buy season 2 and recap it for us! Ha ha.
Release date for Season 2 is October 3rd.
He would definitely have his hands full. Guess we can't ask him to give up his life for several weeks to recap for us, can we?
OMG, you're not kidding. The timeline is totally skewed for me! I tried to have a marathon Season 1 session just to get it done, but the point of rewatching is to try to catch things I missed the first time. Rushing through would be a bit counter productive.
Love the idea for GB to be writing outlines ahead of time....hope he reads it!
Heading home for the day. Have a great evening, in case I don't get back on here later.
LB: Between the two seasons AND all of the flashbacks, the story is getting to be rather fragmented for me, too.
Beaner--Love the idea of the LARGE cat making you look slimmer in the picture. I'm thinking I need to find myself....a sheepdog...I was going to say a Great Dane, but that would just make me look even shorter!
Unwittingly, you brought up a good point about you and JAS possibly running into each other when you both lived in We-go. It really is a small world, and how do you know that you haven't crossed paths with someone that you currently know? How many times have you met someone and thought how familiar they look, but you just can't place them?
I just had my 20-year high school reunion. I was really looking forward to it, but I was slightly disappointed. Some of my old friends don't seem to have grown up any too much. And it seemed as though everyone expected me to be the same person I was 20 years ago. I was really eager to see how everyone had changed and grown, as this was the first reunion I was able to attend. On the positive side, I think I've aged pretty well as compared to some! (Although not quite as well as others!) There were 2 or 3 people that I truly did not recognize because their looks had changed so much. I was very glad that I went, but I think that I will not drag my husband along next time. He was so BORED!
JAS, I also grew up with 7 brothers and sisters. I am #7, and the youngest girl. It is so great to have a large family. I don't think I ever had a baby-sitter that wasn't one of my brothers or sisters! And now my kids have all those cousins to play with. We are all very close. Unfortunately, I live about 200 miles from all of them, so we only get to see each other about twice a month. It's a lot better than when I lived in Miami and we only got together once or twice a year!
To anyone who has not yet read GB's novels, go. Go now. They are all good reads. The more feedback he gets, the more likely he is to quickly get more posted. I'm eager to see what happens next in each book.
Jess,
One of my sisters is passed away and we're not in any sort of contact with one of the brothers, but my two brothers, 3 sisters and 11 nieces and nephews all live within 10-15 minutes of each other. It's great. My sisters are my best friends. And it made it really convenient when my younger sister was recently on bed rest with her first pregnancy. It enabled all of us to take turns visiting, cleaning, fixing lunch and dinner. We're all very close. Only dad lives far away, in Phoenix Great vacation spot during Cleveland winters!!!
By the way, all those people at your reunion who you think aged better? Probably had help! At least I always like to think that when I see people I went to school with who look great!
LB - it is very strange, isn't it, how close we lived to each other and now we're here? I know exactly what Jess is talking about. You run into someone and just know you know them from somewhere? Especially when you're traveling. It's definitely a small, small world.
I'd love to try to make it to Panama City. It's not easy to get there from here. Or cheap. But things could change as time goes by. I'm already putting aside money for my post-Thanksgiving cruise, but I'll have to try to save a little more for PC.
By the way, LB, I saw at EW that you tried to GB to work on season 2 right away. I don't blame him in the least for passing! But it was worth a shot!

LB,
Did the pool and Mr. Rogers. Let's see if you remember any of the places I remember from my youth. How about the A&W Root Beer Drive ins? Or Cock Robin's? They had the best sherbet. Or, and I think I have this name right, Adventureland? It was a small amusement park. There was a sledding hill we used to go to in Addison, and then the pond we used to ice skate on. For the life of me I can't remember where they were. I'm going to have to call my dad. He'll remember. It was all so long ago. But I go back today and some many things bring back memories.
Here's a small world story from Chicago. I work with a woman, Alison. She's our regional manager and lives in Carol Stream. She's the one I go visit all the time. Anyway, turns out that one of her husband's oldest friends grew up next door to me in Addison! They moved in about two years before we moved to West Chicago.
So, are you watching BB tonight? Of course, I'm going to have to.
You guys! (Insert whining tone here.) I really want to go to Panama City with you! Beaner, you and I would almost definitely leave from the same airport, and may be on the same flight. We could start the party early! But seriously, my husband already thinks I am completely wacko for being on these boards. He keeps telling me not to arrange to meet anyone, as he is certain I will be raped and killed. You do hear horror stories, you know. Not that I think any of you are rapists and/or murderers! Is there anywhere that is having an Official Lost convention (like they do for Star Trek)? Or can we somehow make the PC trip "official," so that he would feel it was OK to give his blessing? I don't need his "permission" to go, but it would be nice if I could enjoy myself, knowing that he wasn't worried. Seriously, I would LOVE to go. And, as I'm re-entering the working world, I think I will need/deserve to do something nice for myself.
Beaner, I was thinking almost the exact same thing! The only obstacle is, how do we "happen" to meet beforehand? Once we figure that one out, we're good to go. Literally!
Beaner, being as *frugal* as I sometimes am, the only thing I thought about the hotel room was that it would cost less $ if we shared! OK, no knives. Got it.
Alison's maiden name is Azar, though she grew up in Indiana, so you probably wouldn't know her. Her husbands name is Beckmeyer. He seems to know everyone so it wouldn't surprise me if there was a connection there.
Went to Armore for kindergarden, then on to St. Josephs and then St. Marys. Yes, I'm a catholic girl.
I'm glad you have fond memories of your dad working downtown. My father worked for a great company in a very bad part of town. His memories are of being robbed at gunpoint. He started carrying a gun after that.
Speaking of downtown. There was a place, can't think of the name, but it was under the ell. They made the best caramel corn in the world. That was a huge treat for us, when dad would bring some home.
I remember riding our bikes until well after dark. You're right, those were the days, when you could sit on your porch or take a walk late a night and not worry about anyone getting shot or mugged.
I'll try to remember some other places.
LB, Annapolis sounds good. I'll start to lay the groundwork for a meeting. He'll still think I'm nuts, but we'll see. Let's plan on sometime during the last week of July/first week of August...? How does Macaroni Grill sound?
LB--Shy? Are you kidding? Fortunately, MacGrill has lots of wine selections, so you should be OK! My husband had a horrible day at work, so I haven't brought it up yet. I also have to work on getting a babysitter. Ain't no way I'd subject you to the monsters!
LB-theres goses jennel,she either wins or comes in 2nd or 3rd.Why cant people see that and get rid of her.I know she good to look at but i still rather look at $500,000.
They should. Shes kicking there ass. if they dont break up the sixers there fools.jace should have took a shot,thers no way the sixers will show him any loalyty.
R.I.P. - I'm with you. I've just never liked Janelle. And they should fear her in the house. She freaking wins everything.
Of course the one I would have been gunning for is Will. He is such an arrogant jerk. He was right. Jase and Janelle should have put him up. Why keep someone who has already won?
LB - I was thinking as you were for PC. Flying into a larger airport (Tallahasee, maybe or Jacksonville) and driving over. In fact, I'll have to check. I have an old boyfriend that I've remained friends with who lives near Jacksonville. Maybe I'll incorporate a visit with him. I just hope I have money left after my cruise to do this!
I find it hard to believe you're shy in person, but I'll be happy to have a few glasses of wine with you to loosen you up!
She will run to howie. All she has to do is walk by howie and he cant say no to her.although the way he's kissing will all the time i dont know. i think he will raly the troups for her.it's hard to put will up he LIES to everybody all the time.ya don't no if your putting him up for the wright reasons.
I'll have to check out prices from different airports. I can actually fly from Akron, which may be cheaper. Or Baltimore. You can usually catch a cheap flight on Southwest. Lots of choices.
Yay! Allison is gone and Danielle is still in the game. After the interview with Allison's new boyfriend, it's probably a good thing for that relationship that she IS out of the house. I don't think he'd put up with being embarassed. I couldn't believe his "Allison for President" thing though!
LIG - we're in absolute agreement. I'm only surprised the vote wasn't closer. They sure made it seem like it would be, didn't they?
Hi all.i went to see a band called the DROPKICK MURPHYS last night my ears are still ringing.I made home in time to watch BB.I liked the reasoning to keep allison around because she would prob. take the heat every week.i no shes strong but not nearly as smart as danielle.As time went on allison would get on peoples nervs more and more.danielle would make more frends in the house.I think thats worse.
I tell you what, LB, I'd love to spend the rest of my life on a tropical island.
It's a little too "reality show" for this cat...
Not only the price, but you'd be on the plane forever. And you still have a boat trip.
When I say I want to spend the rest of my life on a tropical island, I do expect it to be a luxury island!
BB Fans: It looks like the "schedule tweak" is moving the Saturday night episode to Sunday night. From here on out, it looks like it'll be back to 3 nights a week.
LB- I think Kaysar put them up because he's trying to "get rid of stragglers". I have no idea what that means. Does he think they don't play the game, but just slide under the radar? In any case, what an idiot. When the heck is someone going to put those jackasses Mike and Will on the block? After last night, I don't think I can watch it. Will just makes me want to vomit.
LB - you're right, no one wants to stir up too much as HOH in the first few weeks. They're afraid they'll become the target. But they end up making pansy decisions, like Kaysar. I can't remember who all was in the room, Howie and Janelle, maybe? They were talking to Kaysar about throwing up Will/Mike and Nakomis. A threat and a non-threat. Would have been more interesting. I just want Will gone. He did all that talking about Botox and not tanning, blah, blah, blah. I want to tell him he needs to get a real hair cut. And I would NEVER trust him as my doctor!
LB - personally, I'd like to see Nakomis stick around. She's so different from everyone else, I think it would be interesting to see the interactions as they get more involved in the game.
Did you see that nasty slop they have to eat this week? Ewwwww. I'd rather eat peanut butter and jelley.
LB - the white bread was hilarious! And you're right, a dermatologist doesn't feel like a big-deal doctor. Will just seems to be all about his looks. But you're right, he is a pot-stirrer, though some of the remarks he made to Howie were more mean-spirited than anything. Then again, can you get anymore obnoxious than Howie?
I'm a PB lover too! I used to sneak downstairs every night after everyone went to bed and make a sandwich. I still love it, though I eat the natural stuff and not too often. I know it's good for you, but it's also very fattening.
I'll have to try tvgasm.com. I'll let you know what I think.
LB: I have nothing against Dianne, but I like Nakomis and her game better so I hope that Nakomis gets to stay. She and Danielle could team up at that point. .... or maybe Nakomis, Danielle and James.... That could be an interesting alliance!
LB: Did I hear Ericka say that she is Jewish? If so, a relationship between the two of them could be the beginning of World Peace!
LB: You're probably right. I'm not holding my breath waiting for wedding bells or World Peace!
I guess Nakomis was perceived as the bigger threat. I was very disappointed. She and Danielle were my favorites.
I think that Kaysar has done some damage to his relationship with the others in his alliance....
LB: It looked like some sort of a Bong. Didn't Kaysar introduce that thing on Season 6?
LB: You never know, but I'm pretty sure that they aren't smoking anything illegal. It's probably just tobacco.
Alcohol is against Kaysar's religion. I'm not so sure that drugs are forbidden. A lot of those middle eastern countries grow the poppies that opium is made from. It's one of Afghanistan's biggest and most profitable exports.
Strange double standard, isn't it!
LB: Due to a local breaking news event, last night's regular tv programming was pre-empted for about 4 hours. Needless to say, I didn't get to see BB. Other than the review on CBS's Big Brother site, I know none of the juicy details.
Thanks, LB. I'll check out those sites.
LB: Yep! Two Drama Queens on the block...
LB: I don't like either one of them but I'd rather see Will go first. Too bad they can't make a 2 for 1 trade to get Nakomis back in the house.
Did you see Danielle's imitation of Jase? That girl is hysterical! She is absolutely my favorite person in the house.
... and Marcellas is getting on my last nerve!
LB: I was surprised to see Danielle in tears over her vote. Jase's comment about agreeing to get rid of floaters is what did it for her. She's probably afraid that others perceive her as a floater.
I'm still not seeing the logic in getting rid of the floaters first. It's the threats that will bite you in the ass! Of course it does completely change up the game.
hi all. ok. will is the best.i mean come on,anyone who can get away with saying the things he says wright to there face and they wont get rid of him.he is only going to get worse.and when it matters he's going to turn it up for chalanges.
If Chicken George makes it to the end, he'll be a shadow of his former self....! That slop looks pretty inedible!
i was on vac.i took the wife and kids on a road trip.went to all kinds of kiddy parks.it was great,and lasted a few days longer than planed.we covered about 700 miles in northen N.E. I TO HATE OATMEAL.i dont evean like oat meal cokies.i dont think they should fear the floaters they cant evean pic sides never mind get to gether to make a plan.I know i liked james at first but now he's starting to bug me.l.i.g. i'am with you on marsalis.
O LB i thought of you the other day i saw a picture of a cat that was 35-40 pounds.i used to have a cat that was 21 lbs. he was all black.
i wont say a word.let me know when the coast is clear.i should have said i thought of your cat not you. i did not mean to imply anything.
LB: Not tellin'....
The south end looking like a basketball made me laugh!
LB: ...a cheater with no will power.... Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Janelle is either very stupid or vey smart. Will pulled her strings like a puppet!
Notice how Kaysar and Howie didn't have much to say about her choices. .....one way or the other.
HI LIG. i think it's a great move on her part.cilltown would get rid of howie,james,and kaser befor janell. there for she gets 3 more weeks.so far shes the only one with the guts to make her owne choice.
rip: Chilltown is just using her and now just about everyone else in the house wants her gone.
they all want will,boogie gone.there not.they wanted george gone.he's not.the name of the game is ALL STARES they are all useing each other. LB the vanilla bean is a great ice cream shop in my state. ew would not let me post,sometimes i hate that board.
morning all. BB fans did you watch last night.
Janelle was a fool to trust Will. He looked her in the eye and said "I'll do whatever you want me to do" and then was the ONLY person who voted to keep Dianne in the house!
james was HOH he had his chance to break up chilltown.rrrrrring hey jenell it's james did you know your a NIT WIT,YEA but dont i look pretty.
Good morning.ok to talk BB did you guys watch.
I know what she's thinking by putting james up on the bloock,but they only to be sure one S-6 player go's is to put 2 of them up.she's makeing it personal with jennal.good for george 1 week of real food,i mean the guy still cook's for everyone,but he could not eat.I can not imagin being in the same house with pizza and not eating any.
Yes on jenelle.if she wins pov,kaser go's up.Thats when james has to worrie.It's only one week for george.back to slop when pass is up.James is playing so hard now that could be sean as a big thert.Kaser is much more low key.
I liked james from the start.I think he has a better shot now,that he's moved away from S-6.I think he should have stuck to hus guns when he was HOH.
LB on your june 24 post you did not think james was a hard core player.Do you still think that.
Good morning LB. well start freaking out.
I bet you 1,000,000 cyber bucks kayser go's.I don't think anybody wants to be final two with him for all the reasons you said. James is so good i would hate to have to play the whole game with him.
off to lunch check back later.
however she did just put the whole house on cot's and slop.
What do you think about Will blaming Marcellas for winning all the luxury prizes last night?
Anon.I think that was a great plan but will and boogie needed to get him on the block and out.Now i think that's going to back fire.
Good morning BB fans.Kayser or James cant wait to see who go's.Just got done cathing up on EW board.WOW gb wesb,it would have taken me two weeks to typ any one of those posts.
I 100%want james to stay.If for nothing else to keep jenelle on edge.S-6ers need to be knocked a notch.I dont like lopsided games,it was starting to go in that diriction.Much more fun not knowing whats going to happen.
I'am in.First 5 are on me.
As much as i love coffee,on fridays i love JD on the rocks much better.Since this has been the week from HELL,look out!
O yea the pat's kick off there preseason game fri. night.even more reason.I know your a bears fan so you will have to go back to 1985 superbowl.
I live in N.E. so i,am very loyal to the local team's pat's, celt's red sox, BC, PC. I am mostly a hardcore football fan.I watch on sundays from 11am til 11:30pm.I do like collage football but i work alot of saturday's that makes it hard to keep up.Dont ya love when have mid week NFL games breaks up the week till sunday.
LB I ment to ask you befor are you watching rock stare super nova.
RIP,
Have you read the EW reveiw of rockstar? Quite humorous. I don't get why so many people like skunk boy (I mean Lukas)? He annoys me to no end. I think it should be Magni, Toby or Dilana (if they take a woman). What do you think?
Good morning all.LB i am a telecommunications tech. for a hospital.i maintain about 900 phones also all voice mail.it can get very stressful but it's a real good job, i get about 8 weeks off a year paid.jerry i dont like skunk boy much.he seams to full of him self.my pick from the start was toby or dilana.some of those people had no chance to front that band.
I ment gerry.
LB - Richard Hatch is such an a$$. I can't believe he thought anyone would buy "gee, I forget to tell my accountant I won $1 million." He deserves to be in jail for stupidity alone.
LB - I live in Ohio. I'm afraid to come on the board!
Seriously, just been very busy, though I've managed to read you guys at EW today. I'm laughing so hard. Thank goodness I have an office and can close the door. People must think I'm out of my mind.
LB - funny how it's usually the women starting those risque conversations. Kind of like the one we tried to have with GB a while back. I'm not sure what that says about us women.
LB - I know EXACTLY what you mean.
LB- i'am real swampt today so we start with two. shot of choice with a frozen mud slide chaser.Yes i have been at my work for 21 years.I started at age 20.I think GB dose cell phones.My work is more programing P.B.X. SET UP. jas65 i went to ceader point once man that place is great.
LB - I posted somewhere on GB's site that I'm going into witness protection, changing my name and moving. No one will know I'm really from Ohio.
Haven't been watching BB, but have been reading the recaps on TVGASM (thanks for turning me on to that...it's hilarious). I can't watch these people anymore, especially Howie. Better for my blood pressure if I just read about it afterward. Sometimes I'll turn it on and catch HOH or elimination, but I've been relying on recaps.
When do you think any of these people will get a clue that Will and Boogie are pulling all the strings, not S-6.
LB - As much as I can't stand Will, I really think the way he and Boogie are manipulating the game, either of them should win.
tvgasm is great. Never thought to go back and ready the Lost recaps, but I can't believe they would be better than GB's.
LB. Number-3 24oz. alabama slammer.
LB-#4. frozen Kamakazie.
Ok. This is not fair it's friday and my day i getting worse.So here comes #5 Absolute Chainsaw.Look out for this one.
LB - you're right. Boogie might not be able to win. Then again, if it came down to him and Will in the final two, what are the odds that everyone would pick him since Will aleady won? Could happen.
LB - I have to check out tvgasm. I promise I won't give it away.
LB - I am completely bummed about the change of events on BB.
Good morning.LB i hope your not to hung over.Whats the deal with Ohio i must have missed something.I went ther once for a week,i thought it was a nice state from what i saw anyway.
At the risk of sounding like marsalis.DAM IT THAT BITCH WINS EVERTHING!
When are these nitwits going to realize who is pulling all the strings in the house? It's hard to say who will be offed. I'm thinking Marcellas, but if he is, it would point fingers at Mike & Will. I don't know. This season is driving me nuts. And I'm tired of Janelle winning.
Marcallas can't give mike what erica is giveing him.Janelle is a wicked hard player,I don't realy like her but,man she can play the game.Ya can't say she dosent deserve it.I mean nobodys carring her through,shes doing it on her own.
RIP
True, Janelle is working the game, but she's also having her strings pulled and doesn't realize it, which makes me wonder how good she really is. Then again, editing could be leaving us to believe she's naive to chill town, when she really is using them. Maybe she is THAT good. If so, more power to her.
Good point about the editing.I just think,she thinks chiltown is not a thert to her. who knows.I would not last 1 week in that house.
I know what you mean. I'm not devious enough. Plus I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut. It's why I'd never make it on Survivor. I have an opinion and a need to express it.
Morning all. boogie would use anybody,game or no game.I think george would have been better off putting up,1 BB6er 1 chiltown.let the house choose.Lets see if boogie can get jannell out.Her only shot is to be put on the bloock so she can try for the veto,If she is not put then shes gone.They will throw the veto game.
You mean she's LOST.
Maybe she is the monster,she dose smoke.
LB - I just want to tell you that Janelle and Erika have to be two of the most gullible women in the world. Can they really be that clueless that they don't realize that Boogie and Will are using them? I can't stand to watch it. I just read the recaps and still get aggravated with them. UGH!
LB- I did catch the end last night. I cannot believe the Janelle won again. She is definitely on a hot streak. Much as I can't stand her, she just might deserve to win.
Erika is an idiot. I really believe Danielle would take her all the way. You know there is no way in hell that Chilltown will.
So, my Browns are playing your Bears this week. Should be a good game!
I think Danielle is gone. I think chilltown knows she's a threat. And they're the only ones voting. So she's out.
The game is on here of course. I'm actually hoping to get tickets to the game, which would be cool. I think the Browns are 2-1, but you're right, they start playing the starters for most of the game so it could be very interesting.
I know what you mean about peeking fearfully. Every time we think the Browns have put together a good team, something happens. We've already lost several for the season, inlcuding LeCharles Bentley, who we picked up from the Saints. Plus we've had some Center issues. It's all a crap shoot in Cleveland.
LB - I didn't consider it mean at all. I watched part of the game and gave up at half time. The Browns were pitiful. I was just happy they weren't completely skunked. At least they put some points on the board. We're so used to bad sports teams in Cleveland. Thank goodness we have King James.
So, do you believe those two dumb bimbos on BB? Erika and Janelle give women a bad name. They don't deserve to go to the final two. They've been played too well by Chilltown.
Will definitely earned it.
Ding, Dong! The witch is dead! The wicked witch of Chill Town is gone!!! I hope they eat him alive in the sequester house! My only regret is that it's Ericka instead of Danielle in the final three.
Speaking of the sequester house, it looks like Baby Howie is making everyone miserable! I had forgotten how absolutely childish he can be. He's worse than bitchy Marcellas.
Darn! I didn't want either one of those two people to win....
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I hope Boogie wins. I still can't figure out how Erika made it to the final two. She certainly had no strategy or game. Scum bucket that he is, Boogie, along with Will, at least had a plan of action and stuck to it.
BB7 was such a disappointment. I'm ready for Survivor to begin!!!
Lady, I'm with you. I love Survivor!
Boogie, Erica and Janelle were on The View this morning. I am certainly not a Rosie fan, but I admit to getting a little tickled with the way she doggedly shredded Mike Boogie's ego! I almost felt sorry for him...
It's all good! Because of the new way that they had to find contestants this year, there aren't so many people who are "full of themselves" and looking for fame and fortune in show business! That's a good thing.
It's also a learning experience for the contestants as well as for the viewers. You just can't paint anyone with a broad brush. We are all unique individuals. I loved it!
Does anyone else think that Jonathan MUST be related in some way to Alan Alda? His voice sounds exactly the same, right down to the tone and inflections.
I enjoyed the show, and wish they would have made it 2 hours instead of only one. I'm sure they had enough material. I don't think they'll keep the tribes separated for too long. I do think the losing tribe was stupid to vote off Sekou already. If they didn't know that they would eventually merge, and have it be every man for himself, they would keep the physically strongest and get rid of the true weakest link. I'll have to watch 3 or 4 more episodes before someone emerges as my favorite.
Amazing Race starts Sunday. I have my DVR set to record it. Don't know if/when I'll actually get around to watching it. I have enjoyed that show in the past, so I'll try to make time for it.
The Cook Islands are really pretty compared to most of the other Survivor locations. I love the blue water and white sand.
This is shaping up to be a very interesting season.
Yeah Billy must have had some really good drugs unless there was something said off camera that we did not see the only thing I heard Candice say was "WE" love you which I think was meant in a sisterly/brotherly kind of way. Boy I was as stunned as Jeff was when he said that.
Beaner! Why didn't you tell us you went to a Survivor casting call?????
I actually felt bad for Billy. I was embarrassed for him. I'm guessing he was the "weird kid" at school, and probably never had a date in his life. He was just odd. I thought they screened these people psychologically?
dose anyone still come here.
