I hope this TMZ report is true. Seems a lot of reporters like to jump in with info, whether true or not, before anything is confirmed. In this case, I really hope they are right!

His odds certainly are NOT good, but if he's conscious and speaking coherently, that is a very good sign! Hang in there, Brett!

I feel so bad about this. Although Brett would not be my idea for a spouse for my daughter, he seems like a nice guy and a good father. I did notice him mention being hung over after their win, which I'm pretty sure is not on the plan for someone with a serious case of diabetes.

I thought the same thing about the alcohol and diabetes. Just the same I'm sorry to hear about this. I didn't really know who he was, but watching him on CA, I've come to like him. I hope he pulls through all of this.

Read this morning that the reports of him being conscious and coherent are NOT true, that his condition is still very critical, and this weekend will pretty much determine his fate. WOW, how incredibly sad, if he doesn't pull out of this!

I agree, I would NOT want him to date my daughter, either. I don't approve of his lifestyle, but he does seem to be a pretty decent guy on a lot of other levels. I think he's living the 'rock star' personna with a vengence. And drinking and diabetes do NOT go together-I questioned that every time I saw him with a drink in his hand, or mentioned getting hammered from a win. So, obviously, he doesn't take real good care of himself. But sub-dural, sub-arachnoid hematomas are usually caused from trauma of some sort, so who knows? I saw that last year he had some hit in the face (accidental). But that isn't usually something that would surface this late...just hope he really does pull through this and has a lifelong epiphany from it. God bless the dude!

Sometimes it is just a weak blood vessel. Happened to someone at a meeting I was at. Sudden severe headache like they said Brett had, hopefully they got Brett to hospital as fast as they got her. We were about a mile from Duke. Still meant a long slow recovery.

I thought the reports of talking sounded too early, but I was hoping it was true.

Yeah, Bret could've had an aneurysm. I'm still hoping he pull through -- I wouldn't wish a brain hemorrage on anybody.

I feel bad for him. (Not "badly" as Trump would have incorrectly corrected me)

Aggie made me bloom!

THAT is correct! From what I've read, according to Webster, there is NO such word as 'badly'. I've since worked very hard, (not hardly) to correct myself! Shame on the Donald!!

The problem is that 'badly' is an adverb and would therefore, describe the verb 'feel' in the sentence 'I feel badly'.

That would mean the speaker is stating that they perform the act of feeling in a sub-standard manner.

One of the adjective uses of the word 'bad' is sorry or sorrowful and that is how Cyndi correctly used it.

Look at these two sentences:

I smell bad.

I smell badly.

The first sentence could would apply if I needed to take a bath.

The second sentence would apply if I chose to stick things in my ear to check their odour.

Do you? Choose to stick things in your EAR to check their odors?? I can only smell with my nose...so that is a new one on me! But thanks for the explanation.

It's a Canadian thing

As of yesterday, Brett was supposedly awake and speaking with his father, over the phone. He is still fairly sedated, but moving his arms, and aware of his surroundings, as well as answering questions, etc.

This is good news! Also found out he is in an 'undisclosed Arizona Hospital". Makes me wonder if I should take a ride around the old home town, and check out a few neuro floors....Just saying! I could pull a uniform out of my closet, put on a name badge, and who knows?? Wouldn't ya all love a REAL LIVE UPDATE??

Nah, I couldn't do that. I don't have the cahoonies.......

Released from hospital today, and expected to do VERY well!! YEAH!!!! Praise God, and good job, Docs, Nurses, and Brett, for pulling through this!

So glad to hear this. Gives me a huge sigh of relief! He's a good guy who really deserves to live a very long life. Hope he'll remember to put his health way up on the scale now, too. Not that it had much to do with this incident, but just because he has so many people who love him!

I'm filing this under 'too stubborn to die.'

Also, VH1 probably has him under contract for a fourth season.

First piece of good news to come out of this genre in about three months.

I'm glad to hear he's been released from the hospital but I agree with you Estee -- he's too stubborn to die. Of course, that's sometimes a good thing -- ask a certain contestant in your Survivor fanfic about that. She's also way too stubborn to die.

Hi everybody!

He's back in the hospital and suffered what the doctors called a "warning stroke" and he also has a hole in heart....... literally.

His appearance on Sunday's Celebrity Apprentice Finale is now up in the air............
