Big Brother 3

Adrienne, You're so right. The world doesn't appreciate honesty, loyalty, or morality. These are things we are suppose to espouse, and discuss in church, but then live in "the real world." They are especially not appreciated in the business world. I have been an idealist my whole life. The only advantage (on this earth) of living your religion is that you can look at yourself in the mirror, and know that "to thine ownself" you have been true. But who, among all the guests in that house, has inner joy written all over his face? Jason. I hope he wins!!

I really hopes that Roddy appreciates the huge sacrifice Jason has made for friendship. The more I see of Jason the more I admire and like him!

Jeanie - I really agree with what you wrote! Well said!

I agree...well said Jeanie!!! And very true!!

The show starts here in 10 minutes!!! Gotta hurry and get offline so I can watch it soon!

I have to tell you guys this.

On saturday, for the first time in I don't know how long, I got to hog the TV!!! My boys were in their rooms playing on the computer and lo and behold, instead of the usual Digimon/Pokemon, Blue's Clue's etc....I was able to watch 15 minutes of Big Brother 3.

I just have one thing to say: Jason........OMG! What a cutie! Is this what I've been missing????

I haven't been following the show other than through you guys. He definately is worth tuning in for!

School starts next week, which means earlier bedtimes, which means....I may finally get the TV. Pretty sad when I let a 7 year old and a 4 year old tell me what shows I'm allowed to watch! :LOL:

Ghys....maybe you will be able to watch the Survivor series when it starts...which is I believe Sept 19th. Have you ever watched it before? I think you would like it!

Yes..Jason is adorable isn't he???

Hey G, I am in the same predicament! I have a 6 and 2.5 year old, and they would prefer Sponge Bob and Blues Clues to BB3 or Survivor. BUT, I am such a **mean** mommy that from 8-10 the TV is mine, and if they are awake they have to watch their shows in their rooms. Normally bedtime is at 8, so this isn't a problem, but during the summer when is light out later we've had to negotiate. And mom always wins!!:tounge2:

Dear Ghyslaine, I am an expert on the Mother's Manual. On page 6, paragraph 3, it is stated quite clearly that the tv belongs to Mothers without question at 8:00 p.m. On other pages and paragraphs you will find that you are required to ask teenagers "Where have you been and with whom?" "What are your intentions towards my daughter?" and --in fact any question you want to ask or answer. I still use the Mother's Manual. The nice part is that you author your own as you go along, and you can put anything on any page, any paragraph. I highly recommend that you use yours frequently! A little bit of humor goes a long way when raising kids.

Hey Jeanie - are you going to send a copy of that manual to Debby?

I am not suprised that Jason did not use the power of Veto. What was with Roddy's little gnome - it was scary. Marcellas needs to get a life if he thinks that he is way cute. Who do you think is out this week - this is a close one. I think Gerry is gone, but I really don't know. It is very important that Daniela or Lisa win HoH tonight or Daniela might be gone and then Jason loses his strongest supporter.

I'm not terrible surprised either, although he knows that Roddy is not a friend to Danielle.

Manipulation !!

You know, we didn't know about Amy's drinking, until she came back from "exile." We are being manipulated by the show's director as much as the house is being manipulated by Roddy. They can shape our opinions any way they want. For example, not until a week ago did we ever hear Danielle cry in her beer about how much she needed the money for her family. Yet, we all fell for the director's trick. Guaranteed---everyone on that show has said it's important to win for the sake of their families. Don't you? Don't I?

Very few positive aspects of Gerry have been shown. Although his lack of hand washing is disgusting, it has been proved that most men do not wash their hands after using a public restroom; most women do. I saw a feature on TLC or Discovery on that subject a couple of years ago. Come on TCS guys, tell us why that is, please!! We'll keep your identity a secret-honest...

Roddy's gnome is monstrous looking, isn't it? But the act Marcellas and Roddy put on for the camera was cute.

Debby, about the mother's manual...On page 22, paragraph 6,...

I totally agree we are being manipulated by the directors. How about when everybody "suddenly" decided to evict Josh instead of Roddy? There must have been some pretty big things they didn't show us...

And, as everyone said on the show last night, Roddy does have some sort of power over everyone - Jason didn't use his veto! I was stunned! I have no idea who will go tonight. If pressed, I would predict Gerry, but Amy is just as likely a candidate in my opinion. Both have strikes against them, and there's only 4 people voting. We could have another tie-breaker... who would Jason choose?

I'm actually going to miss Gerry a little bit. Too bad it wasn't Amy!!

Loved seeing Jason's family talk about him...I sure do like that guy!!! I hope he wins!!!!!!!!!!!

It should be interesting with Marcellas this week. Don't forget he made a pact with Roddy by the pool the week Roddy was up against Chiara. If he sticks with that then he will nominate Daniele and either Lisa or Jason, as he won't get rid of Amy. I am glad Roddy didn't win!

I don't think Marcellas' word is worth much. He couldn't stand Gerry, and if it hadn't been for him, Marcellas would have been out the first week. That's not what I call loyalty. Of course, he annoys me any way. He's either crying about something or admiring himself. The only person I think is safe is Amy.

I still want Danielle and Jason to be the last two, and I would be happy for either of them. Danielle needs the money more because she has kids, and Jason is a truly good person who deserves all the breaks possible.

I think if Jason wins he will give alot to charity - he just seems like that kind of guy.

I have a really bad feeling that Jason is going to be one of the people Marcellas nominates. I just hope he doesn't get the votes, or that someone will veto him.

Well, tonight was good!!!! Even though I don't care for Amy, I think the guilt trip Roddy is laying on her is just awful!!!

What did he expect???? Why would she save him with the veto, when he could not promise her he would vote to keep her in the house if Marcellas put Lisa up against her. I mean, who in their right mind would save him if they thought there was a chance he would vote them out!!!!
I thought it was pretty big of her not to veto herself, actually. I thought she might. But i think she knows that if she leaves things the same, Roddy will be going, not her.

I think Roddy will be walking out that door tomorrow night. I have no doubt, and I think he knows it!!!!

I didn't realize just how self-absorbed Roddy was. Imagine making her cry for refusing to do what he admitted he probably wouldn't do for her! And it worked! She felt terrible.

I think Amy has some problems-a bit too much of the bottle and a bit too self-centered. I don't like Amy, but I think there was no reason for Marcellas to humiliate her as he did. It's not his business to "teach her lessons," especially since he has so much to learn himself--how not to act like a big baby, how to stop admiring himself in the mirror, how to learn that he's just an average human being who's behavior is as bad as Amy's--in a different way.

She can't veto herself... or she probably would have. I would have, if I were her and the rules allowed it.

Roddy is soooo manipulative! I hope he gets booted tonight...

Jeanie:You are so right about what has been done to Amy. I couldn't believe that she was in their crying for his forgiveness. Who is he to judge Amy? And he talks about how Chiara turned against Lisa, how about how he has turned against Amy. I think that this wasn't just him trying to teach her a lesson.

I also thought that it was downright mean what Roddy did to Amy. He wanted to just mess with her mind. She is clearly very fragile and has a low self esteem. She can't stand the thought of someone not liking her, either Marcellas or Roddy.

If Roddy goes this week, I hope that Marcellas goes next week.

I'm with you on that one, Sparkle! Let's get them!
