Someone calling and telling you about it should let you know how heinous (sp?) it is to make people out to be suckers on the internet for the whole world to see. The Internet reaches far and wide...
Here are my responses to the good and bad feedback from #9's dismissal from the daily diary -
Thursday, April 08, 2004
Hi everyone!
I have taken a look at the little message thingie on the right on the main page, and there are a lot of comments! Go figure... My responses are in indicated by >>:
the real watcher: not to mention that she was talking down the other contestants. what did LS call it? addition by subtraction"?
>>That was unfortunate.
the real watcher: That dude was not her friend - he was a human ATM card. There's no way to defend that and I'm glad BB knows about it. I mean, she could have won this thing...!
>>Maybe... maybe not.
ugly?: nope. it's getting real and honest. #9 had it coming - she used a guy for his money, tells the internet, then says the whole thing is "silly"?! please...
>>I found this on Google, ya'll... GOOGLE! I didn't go looking for her. If you put in "whowantstomarrymybrother," you will find it. Her "sponsors" could easily find it on their own. I don't think it is fair to show off about how you get people to pay for stuff like that. The tone of the site is basically making them look like punks. If a true friend did something for me, I would never brag about how I got it, how much it was, or what I DIDN'T have to do to get it. Especially not on the Internet for all creation to see. I would hate to have to really get nasty if I saw my brother's credit card receipt for her hypo-allergenic thongs that she "needed" for her trip to Houston posted on her blog.
Oh My: This game has taken an ugly turn. Trenee getting kicked out is as bad as Frenchie getting booted from American Idol last year. Frankly, I aint mad at #9--let somebody sponsor ME dammit!
>>Unless you are a starving kid in Africa... take that back. I hope you don't ever NEED a sponsor to pay your bills. A single woman with no kids...just a cat to feed? It should never come to fleecing your so called friends.
Watcher: ...and I agree with Trenee, who said the contestants can't have friends?
>>Nobody said that. She called him a sponsor. I have never had a friend who I also could EVER think of or call a sponsor. You can have all the friends you want. Date who you want. That was NOT the issue.
Watcher: I read Trenee's site as well as her post in Ask My Brother. I do think putting her on blast like that wasn't right, but this is LS's site and she's gonna do what she wants.
>>She wishes that I told her??? What do you mean that wasn't right???
The link she gave me to check her out WAS NOT that one... Why did I have to check a search engine and find it??? I wish SHE had told ME! Had she sent me THIS link, she wouldn't have even been a contestant this long and never would have been put on "blast."
Tiffany Thompson: Well I think she should have been given more of a chance. She is entitled to friends
>>A chance to do what? Go out with my brother and leave with some "lovely parting gifts?" Naw, buddy!
Trenee: I'm guilty. I'm not a gold-digger, but I'm guilty. Like I said, I understand LS's stance and that's the end. Goodbye.
>>Gracias.
Trenee: Dating somebody, didn't say he was my boyfriend. I don't remember BB ever saying he wasn't dating anybody. I'm not looking for slack, I just wanted a little more respect then I was given.
>>Those fellas didn't get any respect on the site, so I figured if you'd put all that out on your site, you didn't care what the world thought of your "friends." Could have been an incorrect assessment.
Anonymous: Do you find that right? I don't think she received a sponsor from the school b/c she states it was a sponsor friend.
>>Come on...
Anonymous: Trenee gets no slack.. It's on her site. She knows she is in the game and she talking about her bouncer boyfriend and her sponsor.
>>None whatsoever!
Tiffany Thompson: at least I think so but dont quote me
Tiffany Thompson: I feel bad for Trenee it seems she is moving to Houston with Teach for America and they do give sponsors for that program, little sister I think you should look into that first.
>>Are you for real? You can't be for real...
Trenee: I don't knock LS, I would have done the same thing for my BB if I assumed something about a contestant in my contest. No hard feelings at all, although the way it was done was nasty.
>>All I did was quote. What was nasty? What you said? The info was on Google. My mailing list only has 170-something folks on it. How many internet users do you think visit Google in a day? How many people do you think are laughing at your friends and sponsors right now - no thanks to me?
Watcher: LS did say that she wasn't a fair woman...so, she's justified to eliminate who she chooses. Everone is not going to agree with her decisions. I guess that's just how the game goes.
>>Amen!
Oh My: This game has taken an ugly turn. Trenee getting kicked out is as bad as Frenchie getting booted from American Idol last year. Frankly, I aint mad at #9--let somebody sponsor ME dammit!
>>Again?
TRENEE: I'm glad #9 is gone too, from her page alone we know every detail about her entire life and personally, BB can do better. What a gold digger.
>>I didn't read it all. I am one of those people who can't watch stuff that is embarrassing. Like I couldn't watch the whole Whitney and Bobby special.
anonymous: LS you need to complie all of the information about Contestant #9 before you put all of her info out. I expected more from a LS in search of a wife for her brother. It is just a game. Grow up.
>>Using the info that she gave me, she was still allowed to play the game. I stumbled upon this site. You expected more from me? Would you read the whole site and introduce her to YOUR brother? I mean... my brother has a history of being generous with his women. I don't want him to be added to anyone's gravy train.
I have to grow up? See, I support myself. If I can't afford luxuries, I just won't have them. I won't use anyone to get frivolous items. She's not flirting for daycare... or to put food on the table... or to keep herself healthy. I have supported myself and my son for 5 years with no sponsorship. Now, I consider myself a hot piece of woman candy - and I could use my looks or personality to get shoes, clothes, furniture, etc. - but I don't. I choose to pay my own bills and work harder if I have to to make up the slack. Have I done it all without help? Of course not! I have gotten help. Show me a single mom who hasn't, and I'll show you a lying heifer! But did I consider it sponsorship? No. Would I ever belittle their efforts in front of millions? Never.
Anonymous: LS where did you find the article about #9 and her sponsorship?
>>GOOGLE!
Went to the website and it looks like it's not been updated in a while. . .
