Emails…

I’m back and slowly but surely getting caught up. I’m finally unpacked, though to be honest most of the things I wore on the show I never want to see again. Except my bathrobe!

It’s taken me this long to get through my emails. In my personal email account I had 1,134. Most were from friends and family wishing they could speak to me. Though I often felt alone this season, I wasn’t. They were there with me. So many sweet notes.

In my fan-site in box I had 2,572 emails! Crazy. Most were from viewers of Big Brother. And of course, spam for Cialis and stock alerts. The notes were awesome. They ranged from outrage (“how dare I turn on Janelle!”), to adoration (“that was the greatest diary room ever” or “you were the only one Chill Town couldn’t fool!”). Some thought I was the villain (um mmm… that would be Will and Mike) and many thought I should have won (that would be Janelle, maybe Erika or James because he’s so hot). And a surprising amount want to date me. Or something else that 2 people could do together… Anyway here are 3 of my stand-out fave emails:

I love this note. This woman is funny!

Ok, first let me say I KNOW I don’t know you personally. I KNOW you are on a show for three months and that doesn’t tell people who you REALLY are. That being said, this is my third email to you since BB3. I’m the one that keeps telling you you need your own sitcom (why it hasn’t happened yet is beyond me) and YOU need to be hosting Big Brother but I understand why that will never happen, unless of course Miss Julie wants out.

Now for my venting . . .

Over the course of BB history I’ve met my husband, married him and had two beautiful kids. Every summer it has been a fantastic diversion for us to see BB and the live feeds. I’m more fanatical about the feeds than my hubby is though.

Over the last couple of weeks while watching you all, everyone except “Daddy” has gotten sick. My ear infection, I found out, was directly related to listening to the feeds with my earphones every night!!! I only mention our sicknesses because due to my three-year-old’s health history getting sick for him is very nerve-wracking so watching the feeds as we watch his temperature during the night has been a pleasant distraction.

I have to say the weirdest moment for me thus far has been watching you and Janelle take a bath together. Just writing it gives me that icky feeling. It is a bizarre thing.

I have a couple of things to say. First, use the stinkin’ veto on yourself if you get it. (I know. You of course will but I had to say it.) Second, I voted for you a million times to get in the house and I was as shocked as you that America didn’t vote you in. Lastly, be smart. WIN THIS YEAR. I want you to kick some all-star butt! I want you and Janelle in the final two. I’m not too crazy about her but I respect her game play thus far. That is unless she screws you over. I even like Danielle more this season but she BETTER NOT screw you over. So I guess I’m saying I don’t much care who sits next to you as long as you WIN THE DAMN THING.

So once again, yes I don’t know you but I feel like I sorta know you, sorta. Get it? Anyway, I like what I see. Just keep kickin’ butt and oh, one more thing. You better get your job back on House Calls next year. I can’t believe I have to see Bunky in your chair. Like him yes. Love him, no. Love YOU.

This is from a fan I lost. She supported my work with Project Angel Food in the past:

I just want you to know that I think your behavior in the “house” towards Janelle was about as nerd herdish as it gets. I am disappointed and though I will continue to donate to Project Angel Food as I think it is a wonderful organization, I won’t be doing it in your name anymore. I am disappointed….

And this is from my Amy:

Hey Marcellas! I really enjoyed watching you on the show this year. I could tell you were playing harder than last time because you weren’t being as mean in a funny way (Tonya and Gerry) as we were on BB3. You were great in the sequester house! Classic! I loved when you called Howie a big Jaba the Hut. As always, you kept me laughing. I guess when you watch the show, you will see my horrid segment. I am upset with myself for even agreeing to let them exploit me and the whole wine and cheese ordeal yet again this year. They interviewed me for 2 hours so they would have enough to totally butcher my words and make what they wanted from it. I was bad mouthing James for being “shady”, and when I turned on the television, there I was calling you shady! You know how they do. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that you did great…and I love and miss you. I would love to hear from you. Please call me when you get a chance.

Love always,

Amykins

I love you too Amy. Oh how I’ve missed you.

So that is a brief glimpse into “reality stardom.” Viewers think they know you. They get mad @ you when you’ve never met or said a bad thing about them. Some love you because they think you are funny. But those that really know you, know that what you are is a mix. Good and bad. Funny and bitter. And always trying to do the best you can and always trying to be better.
