"Let's examine Keith's role" |
Poor Dave. He has been bullied by every single person there. I don't think Dave created this. Keith brought up that Dave would have voted off Scott before him, and asked Dave to confirm. Keith was trying to manipulate Dave into alienating himself from Scott. He did it again when he told Dave to go to Scott and admit that he'd vote Scott off first, or he'd tell him some really awful stuff.Then Keith is approaching Scott about Dave. So when Dave is talking to Holly he plays the game the way he sees Keith playing it. He's giving Holly the confidence that Keith appears to be doing to Scott. I don't think Dave would of started with Holly if Keith didn't with Scott. So I think at the end of the night, when Dave is talking about rejection, I think Keith's betrayal weighs heavy on him, and he looks pretty defeated. I don't think Dave is the bad guy in this, and if Dave does get voted off then Keith won't advance with Dave on a jury.

CDawg, are you just rejoining when you can't remember your password?? Or have three people decided to have the same user name - CDawg, CDawg2, CDawg3....Anyway, I'm not feeling very sorry for Dave right now. He knew that Scott and Holly liked him. He didn't need to start campaigning with Scott. Dave should have said that he couldn't imagine booting Keith, but he feels that Scott is a real friend and he should have left it at that. AND he should NOT have made his promise to Holly, "You're not going home." THAT was not necessary. Chrissy gal "Never underestimate the potential psychosis of a reality show contestant." managerr

I was very mad at Dave. I was even more pissed when he said to Tara that she was never his 2 and if she thought that he was sorry. Scott said he would back pedle and he did. For a minute there he reminded me of rainman. I can see he was trying to play the game but he likes to make promises that he doesn't keep. Remember when he told Beau he would not kick him off again and he did. When he told the group he would go with their decision and he ended up making up his mind for himself. It is one thing to play the game but you need to watch what you say. He could have beat around the bush with Holly without actually saying that she was safe. That is where he messed up. I was mad with Charla too. Did you notice that she had nothing to say. If she and Tara were such good friends then she should have at the least been mad at Dave for that. Why does Dave keep putting himself out there with Charla. I kinda fell sorry for him cause she just wants to be friends and he wants so much more. Didn't he learn from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd.... rejetion from her. This will be interesting to see how the game works out. If Keith gets rid of Dave and Charla and they bring back the old guest members to determine the winner then Holly and Scott will win for sure. If he picks Dave and Charla then he and Tara may have a chance to win cause the old people can't stand Keith and Tara but I think that they hate Dave and Charla. I am however glad to see Amy gone. It was surprising to see how one minute they show them arguing and the next they are all partying together. I noticed her at Tara's party but a few nights ago she couldn't stand to sit at the table with her. OK enough of my ranting for now. LOL

Oh Yeah!!!! way to put it. Absolutely!!! my sentiments exactly. I was soooo disappointed in DAve last night. I think he did feel bad which is why he exploded his confession which showed me that there still was an ounce of decency there still. Well said. I am now routing for Keith but I am also routing for Charla so I am really torn.

Lots of stress and tension last night. I think the whole Dave/Keith thing was hard to watch and uneccessary. Keith should have realized that Dave was stategizing and not taken things so personally. On the flip side Dave should have been more honest with Keith and told him that he (Dave) was just working Holly and Scott and that Keith/Tara have nothing to worry about. Dave just over thought everything and it came back and bit him.What I found disappointing is are Barbie group falling apart and distrusting eachother. They should have stayed together to the end and not let Holly/Scott work them over. HOLLY HAS NEVER TRIED TO BE THEIR FRIENDS! Holly said to Keith last night "your precious Charla!" That should have been and indication right there about her feelings. Lets face it, Amy and gang (if still there) would be throwing it in their faces who was going home and would not care about "friendships" and "being a man"! Stay true to your friends who sided with you and stood by you when the originals were acting like idiots. I blame both Dave and Keith. I really think by the reactions in the previews that Keith chooses Scott/Holly.

It looks like I am a minority. First, I think he picks Dave. I think his discomfort is due to the pressure Scott's put on him. Keith knows he was going to pick Dave but he brought the lynch mob to Dave's room. Now, with the proof of Dave playing the game, he still picks Dave. It was a dumb move, and that's why he's uncomfortable.Second, Keith put Dave in this spot. Keith played the game by saying let's be honest, Dave would have kept me over you. Why did he need to say it? To alienate Dave from Scott, and then he lobbies Scott about how hard Dave is playing. I truly believe that Keith spun this web, and masterfully played it that Dave was doing it all. Dave is the geek that had to play, longer than Keith, to be here this long. And now his 1 alliance partner is playing him. What was Dave to do? In reality, 1 of their alliance partners was going to advance. I wish they just enjoyed themselves and let the chips fall. They beat the originals, and I wish that led to contentment.

And now his 1 alliance partner is playing him. What was Dave to do?**Your analysis is kind of right, but you're missing that the point that it was Dave that started the first blow. First Dave asked the question to Tara to put her on the spot, and then he started cozying up to Scott to evict Keith just in case he had the power. That was actually fine with Keith, he understood he was playing the game. But he also told Dave that he was going to expose to Scott what the truth was unless Dave made it better. Dave refused to do so and Keith was *forced* to tip Dave's hand and expose his lies. Keith put Dave in his spot yes, but Dave put Keith into a position to do what he had to do as well--cover his @ss in case Scott or Holly had the power. It actually isn't personal to Keith--he's playing the game just as much to anyone else. It was Dave who didn't think Keith would call his bluff and expose the truth to Scott and Holly. Keith had to continue to play them in order to make sure he had the power to evict and not Dave. Similarly, I don't think Charla is playing Dave. Rejection is a lot easier when you aren't forced to see the person you want 24 hours a day. Dave can't get away from Charla and it's making him nuts.

managerr - I saw it differently. Now we don't know that Dave did write the question to Tara. Keith said he did. Also, I don't get why Dave would write that question. We know Amy is going home. Why would Dave want to strengthen Tara's position with Holly?But at the same Pandora's box came Keith's interjection about how Dave would vote Scott off before Keith. I don't think Keith did that in retaliation. And I thought Keith started talking to Scott first. But I fast forward through all the black and white scenes, so maybe I missed something. But in the end, editing could have created all of this. Quite honestly I am surprised at the level tehy took it to, after being ganged up on the entire show. And, I wonder if Keith has the mindset that you were either with us or against us, and have it in the back of his mind that Scott is one of the evil ones.

Why would Dave want to strengthen Tara's position with Holly?"Tara confronted Dave about this and she didn't deny it. She also explained his motivation. Amy was going--that's why Dave wanted to pit Tara against Amy--because just in case that Amy got to take someone with her, she would go after Tara and not Charla. Tara wasn't pissed at Dave but thought it was a low blow. "But in the end, editing could have created all of this. Quite honestly I am surprised at the level tehy took it to, after being ganged up on the entire show. " I agree it was one big blowup and it waas mainly in the editing. "And, I wonder if Keith has the mindset that you were either with us or against us, and have it in the back of his mind that Scott is one of the evil ones." He absolutely had that mindset. It didn't occur to him to play strategy with Scott because that would be going against Dave--and he would not do that to one of his allies first. That's why he was so pissed. But note that he never doubted Dave's loyalty. Just that Dave stooped down to a level he didn't expect Dave to do.

16. "RE: Let's examine Keith's role" |
No its the other way around. DAve put Keith in this position. Why did Dave pretend that he would pick Scott over Keith, so that Scott would pick them over Keith. He sold out his friend to win and its as simple as that. it is the principle of the matter. I think for Keith it was like this. win or not win--he wanted to know what was more important to Dave to keep Keith as a friend due to his shown loyalty (which almost disappeared entirely yesterday) or win the money in any way it took. Remember that they were very close friends. Tara wouldn't do what dave did to Keith and if she had it would have been unforgiveable. As Keith said, it hurt his feelings that Dave would denounce his buddy Keith to get ahead. It was wrong. Dave knew it. Everybody knew it. Yes you are in the minority and maybe you just missed it altogether. I think if you stepped away from the tv even for a second and came back in the middle of it you may have not fully understood why Keith and everyone else was so upset.

8. "RE: Let's examine Keith's role" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-24-03 AT 11:14 AM (EST)So here is my opinion... I believe that the entire time Fox has wanted to give its viewers what they want...and that is a good and happy ending. They have not wavered from this strategy at all. Without all the "twists and turns", the Barbies would have been dead long ago. So last night we come down to three couples. Each person must decide on one person who will have the power to vote off one of the couples, but they can't vote for themselves or their partner. This is absolutely perfect for the Barbies. If they vote for one another and Scott and Holly have no choice but to vote for any one of them, they (Barbies) advance to the next level...hands down. At first I was disappointed in Dave and Keith for becoming so competitive and not clueing into this jewel, but now I suspect they might be playing a strategy with Scott. They are some pretty intelligent people so its hard to imagine they couldn't figure this out. I don't think we should underestimate the power of editing on behalf of Fox. They show only the conflict between Dave and Keith. They want us to worry they fab four won't make it to the finals...that is what keeps the show interesting. Ultimately, I think the Fox strategy...which is what this show is all about...is to have the fab four in the finals, then bring back castoffs to make final decision which they will hate because they don't like any of the Barbies. Its the ultimate payback for their bad behavior. This will appease the viewers and help sponsor the next installment of Paradise. By the way, did anyone notice how hard Tara and Charla were laughing when Amy went to hug Keith. It was so freakin absurd! Why in the world would she hug this guy when all she has done is give him grief. I also especially loved all the clips that played as she said goodbye to each person. How could you watch that and not think you look like a total idiot?!?!?!

10. "RE: Let's examine Keith's role" |
Okay, here's my $0.02.First of all, I think Dave's comments to Holly may have been the liquor talking. Also, being alone with a hottie like Holly can make a not-hot guy like Dave do and say some things he would not otherwise say. That said, Dave was STUPID not to denounce his own actions and proclaim loyalty to Keith and Tara; especially after he KNEW that one of his final four would have the power! But I also think there was some discussion between Dave and Keith that we didn't see. Otherwise, Dave would have preferred to give Tara the power, knowing she would have a harder time voting against Charla than Keith would. I think Dave and Keith reconciled matters privately and Dave affirmed this by giving Keith the power.

Dave DID announce (finally ...after much discussion amongs the entire group) that he was on Keith's side and always would be. When everyone came up to Dave & Charla's room and after everyone had said their bit and Scott tried to play Mr.High & mighty and Keith ranted and raved and Tara said some things I'm sure she wants to take back..Dave did finally jump across the bed and said that his loyalties were with Keith and Tara and they always were. He tried to play it off and just could take it (at least that's how I saw it...that Dave couldn't keep up the charade cause he was hurting his friends). I'm guessing a few people missed that whole thing cause he DID tell them that while HOlly and Scott were still there.

Poor Dave?? More like poor Keith who is just now realizing what a liar Dave is. I'm glad he came down on Dave. Keith had every right to take it personally, IMHO. Dave played the game ALOT like the originals, with the exception of carring on like a caged animal...

18. "RE: Let's examine Keith's role" |
I do not think that Keith thinks Dave is a liar. I think that Keith knows perfectly well that Dave did tell a lie to Scott in an attempt to play the game. Ok, he lied, but that does not make him a "liar." That incident of poor game playing does not define him as a person.As I discussed on another thread, Dave and Keith were both playing up to Scott last night just in case Scott (or Holly) got the power. They know they are safe with each other, they were not sure of their standing with Scott. Unfortunately, the goals of the two barbie couples last night conflicted when it came to appeasing Scott. That was sure to cause tension. And, in this battle for Scotts approval, Keith out played Dave. I think Dave realized it and that was part of his depression. He had played the game so well to that point and he slipped up, I think he realized that Keith was capitalizing on it and there was really no way out. Between Keith and Dave I really do not think there is any hard feelings. They both are there playing the game and they both knew that at some point they would be at odds with each other. It hurts to have to play against a person you feel is your friend, but that is what it takes to win. Keith will choose Dave and Charla. In spite of the turmoil of this end game, they are friends and have fought successfully to get to this point. Keith really has no reason to choose Scott what so ever.

Reading everyone's posts and hearing Dave's interview, I think Dave put his foot in his mouth, and Keith embarassed him for it. I think Keith is playing. But I moved past my initial thoughts that an injury occurred and it began with Keith. I now think that Dave hurt himself and looked stupid. And editing made it seem like Dave's a monster that everyone needs to kill. Now I can't think why Keith would kick Dave out. What makes it interesting is that Dave and Keith aren't power guys. They don't punish anyone, or rub their nose when they get the power.
