Personality versus Game Play...

If I had to pick a wienner (yes I spelled that right) it would have to be Ryan hes played a good game yet managed to treat people with respect for the most part.

I like Ryan...sometimes! LOL! I have always liked that he keeps a pretty level head in the game. That is an unusual trait in a BB HG. And, he has done well as far as the competitions. So, I wouldn't mind seeing him and James in the final 2. I would still probably want James to win it if it were the two of them simply because he has been my favorite practically from the start. However, there have been moments where I wanted to wash my hands of him. So, while I want James to win it, if Ryan won it over James, I would not be terribly upset about it.

And, Amen...yup! I said it! LOL! Natalie's voice kills me. Seriously...I just thought about this. And, here is a random thought. I seriously don't even know why this thought popped into my head when I thought about a way to describe how annoying her voice is but, here it is: Her voice actually could be used as Birth Control. LOL!

LOL! I think treating people with respect is a good trait also! But, that is hard to find in the BB house. And, I have had moments where I wanted to wash my hands of James. But, he reels me back in with each next word. I just think that there is still this deep down, caring and nurturing guy and, perhaps it harkens back to when he jumped right in and took care of Amanda. There is just something about him that is more than his exterior and more than the way he plays the game.

But, I can appreciate that you would choose with your heart! There have probably been times where I would have voted with my heart as well!

James can be confusing, like you said one minute jumps in there and helps out Amanda, and then the next he is doing something that makes you shake your head. He has lied just like the rest of the people in that house. hopefully Ryan and James will make it to the final two. Maybe they should get into an alliance.

I agree! I mean, I guess I can see playing with your heart but, I am more inclined to play with my head. I don't want someone who was afraid to make a move that might disrupt the house in an effort to further themselves in the game. That is why I really want James to win. He has ticked me off a few times but, I was his biggest supporter when he took Matt down. Yes...he went against his word but, he took the opportunity when he had it and I can't fault him for that. Who knows what being a the nice guy would have gotten him if he got rid of someone over Matt his week in HOH. He may not be in the house anymore. But, he is and that says something.

I also like Josh. I wouldn't mind seeing him and James up against one another in the end. I would rather she Josh and James together than James and anyone else as, I have liked them both along the way.

I will hate it if I see Sharon and Sheila in the end. I might throw something at my TV. No floaters should ever win this game. EVER!

I don't agree about Josh, what exactly has he done in the house but float. He uses Sharon to be the target and was able to stay off the block until this week. I don't think he has proven to do anything. But that is only my opinion....

jlcook, I do sort of see your point. But, he and Sharon did win one HOH so, he hasn't been a complete floater. He has used Sharon as a shield but, that is sort of what gives him good game. To actually be able to manipulate another person into getting the HOH to put them up on the block instead of him...that is impressive. Not exactly ethical...or moral...but, good nonetheless! LOL!

But the way he was sobbing last night, and then all of a sudden was like wait, and no more tears. While Sharon was in the stall with Sheila saying that Josh is just this great guy, he goes straight up to Nats room and starts working her over.I couldn't help but laugh, because one Sharon is soooooo naive, and two the way Josh just dried up the tears instantly. Whew only you know whats going to happen right....lol....hint hint please

LOL! jlcook, I am actually really thrown this week. Usually I have a decent grasp on who they are planning on sending out the door but, the hgs have been so good at throwing me for a loop this week. They are all talking out of both sides of their mouths! It's Josh, it's Sharon...nope, Josh again. Nah...Sharon needs to go! Ugh! I am completely out of sorts this week. So, I am totally looking forward to seeing who they vote out tonight. In the past weeks, they were fairly obvious about who was going home. But, this week...sheesh! Make up your minds. Not only are they flip-flopping back and forth but, they are also doing the lying thing where they tell each of them that they are safe. Maybe I need more sleep before I read the feed updates. But, I think that they are either all really confused themselves, or each of them is lying to one another as much as they are lying to the nominees!

I'm sorry I wasn't helpful! LOL! If I had a strong inkling of at least a shadow of an idea, believe me, I would give you my insight on it. LOL! The hgs finally have me confused!

Sheila is an idiot! She seems to have adopted the game plan of "not a threat". What the fedge kind of game plan is that? None! So, you aren't a threat! That doesn't mean you should stay in the game and win it!

And, you are right! James is playing his butt off. He does deserve to win. He fights to stay in that house every single week. So, for any one of those hgs to say that James doesn't deserve to be there...frankly...they couldn't be more wrong!

If you ask me she is a threat. That's the thing with Big Brother. Ok mind you she has never won anything. I think sometimes she does try but not very hard to say the least. The only other person that I see that has tried in this game is Ryan. He has won some things and has tried. It's just the luck of the draw. As James said in his speech last night. You have to want it that bad. ED even said that.

Hello vera5d! LOL! Thank you for dropping by! And, you should watch Big Brother one of these seasons! It is so fun to root for the ones you like and throw hate at the ones you don't! LOL! It is very addictive as you might see from the others that have responded to my discussion. LOL!

Anyway, thank you for stopping by! It was good to see you!

LOL! Who would you pick out of the rest of the hgs? I would still pick James. I just really think, as far as game play, he has worked his butt off. He is fighting the good fight. No one else can honestly say that they have fought as hard to stay in the house as James has. So, he deserves it. But, I am interested in knowing who you prefer.

A lot of what you say about James is true, cort, and I do agree. But as you know, I am still rooting for Adam (in all his ignorant bliss, lol) Now keep in mind I don't have BBAD and don't have time to keep up to date on all the reports that flow in between the 3 weekly television broadcasts (believe it or not I have been relying on YOU and a few others here to help me see other side of Adam's, and the other HG, coin). lol
But so far, as best as I can recall, he has still done quite well, and has been supportive of HG (Sheila for example) even when they didn't deserve it, hasn't back-stabbed or conspired as much as (James for example) not to mention a pile of others, and has been able to still play the game, when at contests and be gracious at times. And level-headed! Non of the others, save for Sharon maybe, has managed that....even Ryan has had his flustered moments of realising his having screwed up, even before last night. (how many times must he lack confidence in his guess, and let James continue to the win for VETO?)

So for now I am still rooting for Adam. I started a thread about why I don't have any use for Josh and include James too, and explains more of my reasoning there.

I can see some things about Adam that I like. But, there are still things about him that keep me from being on team Adam. Nothing really specific. As far as Sheila goes though, he does smack talk about her a lot from what I have read on the live feed updates. But, everyone smack talks about everyone in that house so, that can't really be a point of contention...right word? LOL!

And, I have moments where I want to wash my hands of James. Last night's explosion on Sheila was one of them. He escalated to a point of near insanity. He was hurt and upset...I get that. But, there is a way to make your point without a resorting to a yelling match. However, I was glad to see the victim (Sheila) get what she had coming to her. She constantly does that crud. She is playing both sides of the field at all times and she finally had her actions called to task. She deserved it! LOL! Maybe not as loud as she got it, but...she still deserved it.

And, I saw and responded to your discussion!

That is true. But, I would rather go up against someone like James who really deserved to sit next to me in the final 2, and lose against him, then someone like Sheila who played the victim (boo hoo...I am a 45 year old single mom who lived in the Penthouse mansion for free for 10 years but didn't really do anything else with my life but mooch off some rich people and now, since I am a 45 year old single mom, you should feel sorry for me since I am doing this for my son) the entire time and didn't win anything and just hid behind others because they were a bigger threat. Ugh! She needs to go! LOL!

Anyway...I can understand wanting to sit next to someone whom you can beat in the end but, I still think that those who really worked hard, played the game hard, and fought the hardest should have the final 2 positions.

And, it is definitely a cut-throat game. There is no such word as "fair" in the BB game!

YOu know, I was wacky on antihistamine and did not read your question correctly so I came back to apologize and re-answer lol. I'm really sorry, I answered off topic and I hate that!

If I was on the jury in the end, I would vote for whoever worked the hardest, and absolutely that would be James. The guy has won three vetoes in a row and he was right in his speech: to get there, you have to go all out. And after all, they did vote him back in.

I am so sorry I did not answer the question you asked lol.

LOL! Ah, here it is! No problem Anhedonia! And, I hope that James can get to the final 2 and that those in the jury house, other than Chelsia and Josh, can think it through like that and realize that he does deserve it.

I totally agree AmyKay! And, BTW...nice to see you! I was worried about you! I haven't seen you around for a while!

I am looking forward to tonight's eviction and competition. I am completely thrown as to who they are going to vote out. One second it is Josh, the next Sharon...and back and forth all week long. They have really confused me this week.

I agree that I don't want to see either Sheila or Sharon win. I might be able to believe that Sharon's strategy is to skate but, I don't think Sheila actually has a strategy. I think she isn't very skillful and can't win anything. LOL!

I don't really think Natalie has been better since Matt got the boot. Since Matt left, she doesn't have him to stalk anymore in the house so, she has turned to stalking God. She can't stop talking about him, talking to him, saying he talks to her and saying that God will help her win the game. She is a hypocrite. She just annoys the fedge out of me! LOL!

I liked Josh but, he had moments that made me annoyed.

I just can't get on board with cheering Ryan on. I don't hate him, I just don't totally like him either. If James leaves...which I think he will, I will no longer have a person to cheer for. He has played the game he hardest and the best. I guess, Adam would be the one who has played the next hardest. Then Natalie and Ryan might be tied but, I would rather see Ryan win it over Natalie. Sharon and Sheila are just useless.

Now that you said something about Nat talking about God all the time. She does, yesturday when she was saying that God was going to help her win. I found myself saying, I don't think God is one bit worried or concerned about who is going to win this game. Natalies voice gets on my nerves and the fact that she thinks she is all that does too. Ryan has been such a gentlemen throughout the game. He has been winning and has played a good game. James has been playing hard too, like they have said before he has 9 lives. If he was in the final 2, he would deserve to win. I think at the first opportunity the other houseguest will vote him out, they are afraid of him, he is a strong player.

Yes! And, I think you might be able to find it on your cable somewhere. I have seen BB UK and BB South Africa so, if we can get other BB's here, I have to imagine you can get it there!
