Lets talk about Lisa

I thought Gemma was asking but in a joking/friendly way that she would have a cuppa tea with milk and 2 sugars, since they were making one.
I think Lisa said something like it was bad enough before when Gemma was an outsider but now she thinks she's one of us?

she was quite nasty, wasnt she. she and katie, 2 peas in a pod. although she is so much bitchier
 
i thought from the beginning, i mean in the pool, david said her physique, someone pipped up implying boobs, but david quickly denied, saying no, just upper body, midriff. he didnt say he loved her boobs then turned around said otherwise. she was the one persistently thinking david lied about loving her boobs. maybe BB cut some footage out? gawd, so wish to see the whole convo in the pool without editing!
but going by the current editing, i dont see why he should apologise for her own enlarged ego.

It was Lisa who said he meant her boobs in the pool.

I've transcribed what we've been shown of the whole saga in the 'Was David right or wrong?' thread.
 
Yes! No one made them leaders, and the fact they think they appoint themselves one and select who shall be part of that annoys me to no end. And then to say it to another person so that they take the hint that they know who can be associated with really bothers me. It's actually childish

This!!!!!!! Holy guacamole I can't stand it! I don't understand what makes anyone think they are superior to others in this kind of situation or have any right to dictate who's "worthy" of being included in the "group". It's so completely high school and nasty. Nobody at any age likes to feel excluded or like they don't belong.


I'm with you on this one too. Tully didn't really wanna have a bar of Mikkayla from day dot and I'm not entirely sure it didn't have something to do with Tully concluding that Mik wasn't worth the effort in getting to know based on nothing more than superficial first impressions.


Eventually Tully was to proven to be 100% correct about Mikk (an annoying headcase) but for entirely different reasons she dismissed Mikk out of hand fairly early in the piece.

100% and her treatment of Mikkayla was one of the examples I was thinking of. Mikkayla didn't really start to turn into a bitch until way, way after Tully was initially horrible to her anyway. That was also back when we had a LF so we had a fair idea what was really going on and while Mikkayla was trying to connect with her Tully just wouldn't have a bar of it and made Mikkayla extremely aware that she wasn't a part of their "half-way house group".

Funny part is that even though I wasn't a huge fan of Mikkayla's personality I started feeling sympathy for her due to the way she was getting treated (not just by Tully but Heidi, Ed, Matt, etc as well). I'm finding the same thing happening with Gemma after last night's ep. I find her personality pretty damn unattractive but I'm also feeling sympathy for her now after Lisa's Mean Girls antics.

Exactly. I thought it was pretty obvious that David was referring to her waist etc, but if he said he'd take her upper body but then say Cat's boobs that would be incredibly insulting. I actually felt pretty sorry for David. BB orchestrated those questions for the boys, and while Travis actually said that they were "saggy" (the more insulting thing to say) David was the only one to cop it...probably because Lisa made it no secret to him that he would be beneath her and her company on the outside.

Did anyone else notice when Sonia called for last nights fake eviction that Lisa was name checked by someone in the crowd? It was also heard by the house. She might want to rethink her game...

Girl that was fan-freaking-tabulous!
 
What was all this?

Sorry the forum transitioning to the show talk, some remnants of random boring thoughts, rants was happening.

You sound like you're trying to be specifically personal to me? Do you think I am someone you know? What is all that 'picking people out of the gutter stuff?' I don't know where that is coming from. I reread my post and can not see where any of that came from.

So please if you think you know me and are trying to be personal. Let me know, send me a PM or something. Don't just have a blind go at me in a forum post.

Otherwise I think where something often sparks me off on some random thoughts and tangents. You've done the same. That is fine, but you don't have to go off and do so in a personally attacking way to a stranger.

It's just very disconcerting to be reading someone seemingly personally attacking me and being like, 'what are they talking about.'




Mate, you're a mess. And you don't get it. In your fourth decade you'd want to figure it out quick!

First off - the "bad boy" thing. Women love a bad boy not because they're an arsehole per se. It's more the thrill of the occasional time he's nice to the girl. Got it?
Okay, I'll put it more simply. Dudes a fucken POS to everyone and anyone. Occasionally he flickers on the nice switch to the girl involved, and she flips. She's just done what everyone else can't! She's got the jerkoff / buttmunch / asshole to do what he never does - and be a nice normal human being! {Albeit briefly}.
The next challenge then becomes to keep the nice version around for the majority of the time. He doesn't - she redoubles her efforts. He flickers to nice briefly...this can go on for years.
Second off - "You date the wrong sort of girls for you". You mean you date a set of active and dormant personality problems and wonder why it doesn't work out right?
I think you imagine yourself as some sort of horse riding prince, scooping up women at a low personal and emotional ebb and being the knight in shining armour. Then after you've come to the rescue, and helped the girl realise what an amazing and unique person she is she should be grateful and want to spend the rest of her life with you right?
IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.
If you want to help people out of the gutter - fine. You can be a good friend. A father figure. A mentor. A life coach. A big brother.
You're not boyfriend material! You're somebody who helped somebody out at a low point, and got them to the point they have recovered and can move on.
Hint - they're not going to move on with you!
When people help us when we're incapable of helping ourselves, we don't fall blindly in love! We feel grateful - and oh so embarassed for the mess we were in - and then we take our new selves and find an equal.
So thirdly mate - stop looking for fallen stars, or wondering how some sociopathic prick is never on his own. Do the things you enjoy, that make you happy, and that aren't destructive to your self or others. Go and be the best person you can be on your own, and you'll have an existence where you're happy, content and fufilled. You know what happens next? People see you as this content, happy person and realise you've got something going for you. You've got an existence that they like and would like to be a part of.
Better than that, they're not a set of active personality problems. They're someone who sees you loving what you do and doing what you love and want to be part of it. Not a fallen angel - an equal!
It's really not rocket science. Helping tragic cases, or trying to be something you're not has got you to where you are today. Do something different and make yourself happy. When you're happy the rest comes along with it.
Don't take my word for it. There's a couple of billion people who've done the same thing. This is the best advice you'll ever get mate. Hope you act on it before your fifth or sixth decade!
 
Sadly this whole breasts saga is just about the most dramatic thing that's happened without prompt from BB thus far... BUT I'm hoping since that is so that when Lisa gets the boot it gets bought up by Sonia, and that they will replay the footage and show her Travis probably said the most offensive thing. Id love them to ask why she never confronted Travis yet after David's comment she decided she would never bother with David again in the house. If you're going to act that way for one of the HMs, I feel it's so hypocritical to allow others to get away with the exact same (if not worse) behaviour
 
I really don't know if I am crazy or what, but I seem to have understood what she was saying to Jake about the eyes completely differently.

I took it as she was saying that she had never felt close to him, and that she didn't know why, and she through out some hypotheticals, like 'I don't know what it is, whether it's an aura thing, or his eyes are too close together or... whatever,' and I just cannot see how this is in any way a personal attack of any kind. She wasn't saying 'His eyes are too close together' as I hear it. She was saying there was some indefinable something that she couldn't put her finger on, but among all of these strangers for some reason she didn't hadn't warmed to him. And along with something nebulous like 'his aura' (and not said in the way Estelle would have said it,) she went with the stereotypical physical trait of an archetypal villain.

It seems madness to me to interpret this as an attack in any way. Am I missing something?
How is it not a personal attack?

She can't be close to him because his eyes are too close together?

First of all, that's ridiculous. Second of all, Lisa was the one saying that she wants to be judged by her personality and character, yet uses a physical trait as a possible reason to dislike him.

Yes, she'll never recognize her faults until someone she respects tells her about herself. Listen, I didn't like David's comments, and thought he went too far, but frankly, she's said many more things that I thought were mean. She most certainly won't call Travis out, not yet, which is why she ignored David when he said he wasn't the only one who said something. She knew it wasn't just him, but he's the outcast and the easy target.
The way Lisa was telling the other girls about what she heard, clearly shows that she completely misheard what was said and filled in the gaps with her own imagination.

She tells the girls "David said my boobs looked great in the pool, but told the boys that he only said that because I was there, and he thinks they're low and saggy" (paraphrase)

But what we hear is that David never said her boobs looked great. He never said that he only picked Lisa because she was there. And yes, he did call them low (but nice), and not saggy.
 
The whole over reaction also highlights quite a naiveness when it comes to men IMO which I wouldn't expect from a strip club owner.

Her comments about her guy friends never objectifying her is another example. Sure they may not do it in front of her but I can guarantee they'd be making comments about her body whether positive or negative when she wasn't there...or at the very least think it. They may be her mates and they're also guys. I'm not naive enough to think my male friends don't make judgements about my physical appearance. We all do it. Women do as well. I notice the attractive and unattractive qualities in both my male and female friends and I assume they'd do the same to me.

Maybe, but I would think there's a big component of still settling into the house and the experience. Being around people 24/7 that made hearing that have more of an impact than it would have on the outside.

Absolutely, but at the same time she did seem very certain that her male friends (in the real world - not in the house environment) would never make judgements on her body which I find very naive.

Well because i'm a middle class yuppi and not a tradie, someone elses words not mine, I apparently can't speak for guys. However I honestly can't think the last time I had a conversation about my female friends bodies.

We don't know if her friends would or wouldn't. It just made her feel she couldn't be comfortable as if she was in an environment of friends.

There is that aspect to BB which I always find odd. People straight away sexualising each other, talking about who they would and wouldn't do. It's one of the things that turns me off to some people like Travis. The sort of people who walk into any situation and think about getting their dick wet.

Sure we always see if we think people are attractive and so forth but there are times where that shouldn't be the agenda up front.

I'm not just talking about sitting around having those kinds of conversations though. I'm not a guy but I'd hazard a guess the type of conversations the boys were having in the bedroom wouldn't happen too frequently given that was completely scripted and set up by BB.

However her wording on the issue seemed to imply that her guy friends would never objectify her but in reality I find that very difficult to believe given the moment you think of someone sexually or make a judgement on their body (even if you don't say it) you're actually objectifying them. I don't for a second think her male friends wouldn't have those thoughts from time to time or pass judgement on her assets (whether they speak openly about it or not).

The sexualisation you speak of on BB is weird and I think it's a by-product of the highly edited and scripted version of the show we get. I don't for a second think that's all they sit around talking about, but apparently it's the only stuff worth airing. Although like you already alluded to, I have a feeling that may be Travis' default setting with or without editing lol.

I was joking UAN. :p Please don't go all sensitive on me too. :rolleyes:

All I was inferring it's that perhaps you might be a bit out of touch with what males from various economic backgrounds besides your own discuss and talk about.

Do you socialise with the likes of say Travis, Ryan, Matt '13 etc..? Because to me you give off that impression that you wouldn't wanna caught dead in the same room with guys of that 'ilk' and whether you like it or not 'uncouth' (or slightly less refined/civilized :whistling:) males abound aplenty in society.

In fact I'll go as far as to say they're the majority. They're not minority or don't exist just because they don't form a significant part of you your day to day experience.
 
They were talking about the guys in the parlour room too.

Exactly!
I honestly don't see the big deal.
Sure you don't want to be hearing that stuff, but the fact that it was said doesn't diminish her as a person, unless SHE defines herself by her physical attributes. They never once said that saggy boobs makes her less of a person.
Plus, I'd much rather them talk inappropriately/be not politically correct than look like they're measuring everything they say because of how it might be perceived on the outside.
If say, she was in the room and people were whispering about her and laughing (females are more likely to do this tbh) then I'd be feeling sorry for her because I think that's horrible, but it wasn't even like that.

My prediction of her cutting a bitch before long came true though :)
