Fiona & Loana


I really like Fiona, she's pretty and she seems nice enough. But I was a little shocked by her saying that she wished Loana wouldn't come to the goddess thing. I kind of understand where Loana is coming from. I am also Christian and I would feel a little conflicted if I were asked to participate in a er..."wiccan ritual" or something, especially if I didn't know much about it. I would probably have gone about it differently though. I would probably find out about everything the alts believe in and whatnot (that's just the kind of person I am, I ask people about their beliefs all the time because I'm just interested and curious). If I felt that it didn't conflict with my religion then I'd do it. The thing is, think about it. You have strong beliefs, and you feel that if you were to participate in something that went against your beliefs that your god would be angry, or it would mess with your beliefs or something like that. I think that is how Loana and Brent felt, they might have thought they might be sinning if they did that, and I think that's understandable. Anyways, I was a little disappointed in Fiona last night when she was saying behind Loana's back that she hoped she didn't come. I was under the impression that Fiona would try to get people to participate and not just push them aside if they didn't at first. And I kind of agreed with Loana that the question was kind of "loaded". I don't think Fiona was being neccessarily "catty" I guess she maybe thought that either Loana would never change or that she didn't respect her beliefs. It just bothered me a little though. I mean I don't try to push my beliefs on anyone, and I understand this is a competition, but they also said its a way to "grow". I think that if they would just talk to her about things (like I think Loana had wanted to talk at one point and Fiona said no) maybe something would get through. I think that Art did a good job of explaining to her, he talked to her in a way she could relate to. I think Fiona was a little intimidating. What do you guys think? :) I'm not trying to bash anyone or anything, just putting forth my views. :D

Well I think Loana should just leave if she gets offended by all the ALT stuff. I for one am not religious and find it hilarious that they found mainly conservatives to stick in a house with a bunch of "alternate lifestyle" people, however I have a lot of deeply rooted beliefs that I cherish and I think if I were in a house with say a bunch of hardcore Mormons, in this scenario, I would just leave because I have such a passion for what I believe in. Brent on the other hand was petty and I was glad to see him go.

Well I guess Brent did betray Hamien(sp?). I'm mainly talking about Loana who seems sweet. Did they know about the Alt stuff before they were put in the house?

Maybe the sequel to MMHouse should be a house with 5 ultra-normal hosts, like a Catholic priest, a right-wing Republican, an IBM businessman, etc. And the 10 guests should all be freaks, like a hippy, a Trekkie, a pagan, a Victorian Wanderer, etc. Being a proud freak myself I like to think I could easily last in MMHouse, but would not be happy at all in Normal Normal house.

I'd love to see this too, but the funny thing is, all the alt people don't seem to be at all tolerant of "normal people." They all come off as having arrogant, self-righteous attitudes, and slight the mainstream Christian people.

reply

The Alts are not tolerant of mundanes (normal people) because it's 99% likely that they've been harrassed, beaten up, and abused by mundanes all their life, like I was. Mundanes can be notorious for being close-minded bigoted assh*les who delight in tormenting and bullying anyone different from them. That aside, the Alts job is to eliminate 9 of the 10 guests by any means, not to be nice to them. I was surprised that they let Bonnie go, but she wasn't getting freaked out enough by anything.

reply

Not all "normal" people are intolerant. Although I don't really consider myself really "normal", lol.

Bonnie did participate in, and won, the having-gross-stuff-dumped-all-over-you "voodoo" contest. There was another ritual when Tashia became possessed, I don't recall if Bonnie participated in that or not. Was there a third voodoo ritual?

Fiona doesn't like Loana cause she is strong and independent and Fiona is threatned by that. Fiona is a ditzy, cocky, princess prima donna who needs all the attention or is upset. Thats why I think Fiona is mean to Loana. Because Loana did nothing to her.

No one has a right to judge or be intolerant of others.

i think Loana is damn fine, but she's been pretty snakeish on the show, talking all that *beep*, i wonder if she will get the boot soon.
i hope so. none of these people are gaining anything, i think only the old
lady was. everyone else has dollar signs in their eyes, that's why ultimately these alts will fail in their mission.

reply

It's actually common practice to ask anyone who is uncomfortable with a ritual or a particular belief system not to participate. It just creates negative energy, and that's not good for anything.

reply

A "Wiccan Ritual" is the same thing as saying a prayer or chanting for whatever you wish to have and/or eperience...
