I'm also pretty tired with CB's whining that the HGs should throw the HOH competition so he can get letters from home. He went into this game hoping to win 500 big ones and all he has to do is live in luxury without word from home for a certain number of weeks. He has proved to be utterly incompetent at all the competitions and instead of laughing at himself, he believes he is owed something. HOH is more than a picture and sweatshirt from home.

Exactly!!! Cowboy just wants to win HoH in order to recieve pictures from home. He is not even intrested in putting 2 people up for eviction. The whole point of this game is to be isolated from your loved ones. Cowboy did get a call from home as well as some of Nakomis' pictures so you can't say he didn't recieve anything at all!!! To be frank, if Cowboy ever did get HoH -- it would be wasted!!!

Please, Cowboy is a nice guy, but he is a professional security guard, in a hic town. I don't think he has ever seen 5 thousand dollars in one place, let alone 500 large. He is pretty stupid, no question.

All of these people have expensive tastes and want 1/2 million dollars, but none of them are willing to work for it. They all want to get it through luck or guile. None of these jabronis deserve to win. It's a tie for last.

I don't see Cowboy having an advantage over the others in the event he makes it to the final two. All he has going for him is his too sweet sweetness, and while he may believe that'll make him more likeable than the others, I have two problems with it serving him well in regards to votes.

First, whats nice got to do with anything, at least THIS year at this point in time? No one that remains has pissed off jury members in a way that can't be finessed. I don't see "I'm a nice guy with a ready made family waiting for me" as be reasonable justification to vote for someone, not unless I hated the alternative, and I don't believe his opponents rise to that level of disqust with the jury.

Second, being "nice" has, at least for this viewer, been at least as annoyingly off-putting than any of the acts of the other remaining HG's. Cowboy overplayed his schtick in a way that made it into a negative, IMO.

If Cowboy wins, it'll be because whoever he's up against blows it big time when speaking to the jurors, not because Michael does anything to sway a vote in his favor.

While you certainly have a right to your opinion, I don't see your reasoning. Why would being a Security Guard in a nice Oklahoma town disqualify him from winning? Why would he be less deserving just because he may not already have a lot of money? Not knowing him personally I can not make a call on his intelligence.
This season has not been as entertaining as some of the others, to me, but having Michael there has added to my enjoyment of the game. I have been pulling for him from the start and would love to see him with the win.
I probably don't know what they are supposed to do to win but I do know some things they can do to make me hope they DON'T win. Several of the others have made me hope they go home empty handed. He hasn't.

Did he really say something about the kid's shorts not matching? :rolleyes Not that it would really shock me or anything but jeez.

btw love your avatar

As far as Michael's comment 'bout why he wants to win HOH, remember editing is everything.....you don't know what he said before or after that sentence! He might have talked for 30 minutes in a DR session and they showed you a 5 second clip. EDITING...is everything.

I like Michael!

I think if Cowboy makes the final two with either of the girls,he will win. I am not sure if he will win against Drew.

Muduh · 09-13-2004, 10:09 AM

Cork I agree with you. I think for sure he would win over Diane and probably Jennifer. I'm not sure how many votes Drew has. He and Michael are probably in the best position to win.

LemonDrop · 09-13-2004, 10:11 AM

I want to say something- not that I think anyone is listening!

People say Michael is slow, dimwit, etc... well, sooooooo? Let's say for arguments sake he IS slow. What difference does that make? Does that make him a lesser person than say someone who is a genuis?

I don't think so! I'd hope if you met a slow person (and I'm not saying he is slow) in real life you would have compassion for this person. I certainly do.

To be honest, I'd rather see Michael as a host of BB than Julie Chen. I get tired of all these "poured out of the same mold" people reading off a teleprompter. Since BB is about real people at their best and worst, why not a host that is also "real"? It would certainly liven up the show! Reality tv at its best!
