I looked through the threads for this and didn't see anything, so if it's elsewhere I apologize mods.

I remember Julie saying that this years punishment food would have the HGs WISHING they were on PB&J. Have they even had a food comp yet, and do we know what the "gross" food is supposed to be? I haven't even heard about them having a food competition yet and sometimes they have it on the premiere show.

I thought they'd have it tomorrow, since it's Saturday, but they were talking earlier about nothing really going on in the house until Thursday. I'm dying to know what the different food is! lol

No, I know there's no show. I'm just wondering when they're having the food comp, that's all. I haven't heard any of them talk about it so I'm assuming they haven't yet. I'm just impatient to find out what the new "torture" food is, lol.

Ewwww, imagine just plain brown rice and BB doesn't allow them to jazz it up in any way, lol. I could handle brown rice all week, but with seasoning of some kind....not plain. I'd rather have the PB&J, lol.

They just got stocked up on food last night and I am thinking they won't have a food comp until after the next HOH on thursday. HOH is the end of ome week and begining of the next in BB time so I am betting fri 7/14 or sat 7/15 we will see a food comp.

Wow, they'll be in the house for 2 weeks before they even have a food comp? That's a first, isn't it? Thanks for letting me know Erin!

you're welcome Care,I don't have any insider info, I was just speculating on what I thought might be the case. It is quite possible that I am dead wrong..except on the fact that they got food stocked last night, this I know cause I saw and heard them talking bout it. :-)

Rice with condiments would be a luxury feast compared to PB&J. But rice would fit into the "Survivor House" mantra this series had taken on since BB2.

The whole idea of a "torture" food has been dumb ever since it was introduced...it deadens half or all of the house for a week at a time.

Give them a budget, make them wager it on a task, and let the fun begin. And quit catering to their every wish.

And a rice only diet is too deficient in nutrients. At least w/ PB & J you get carbs, protein and healthy fat.

I agree, bring back the food budget and shopping list! Include toilet paper and make them suffer if they run out!!!

Well with only 2 shows this week they wouldn't have time to show it. And we all know Arnie is all about the TV show, so if it's not important to that, it doesn't happen.

I'm thinking the food is maybe one thing like Tuna and Bread. A week of that would be hell. We need a nutritionist to know what one food product they could safely eat for a full week. But I still say other than the actual comps they concept adds nothing to the game, but pissy people. If they want to do food comps why not have it be for how much or how little (like you guys were saying w/a budget or just for items as they do sometimes) not something lame like PB&J IMHO.

I've never liked the idea of restricting food. It makes for miserable, unhappy people that are not a lot of fun to watch.

I agree with you guys, I miss the budget and hearing George and even Boogie and Will talk about their seasons I realized how much stuff has changed. Not that I didn't realize it back then, and I miss some of the aspects of BB1, but it's still weird to hear them talk about their memories and then remember stuff myself (like Krista and her Nyquil, lol). on BBUK they just recently did a task/competition where they had to all untie themselves from a knot. They started with a luxury budget of 600 something pounds and it went down the longer it took them to unravel the knot....luckily it took them nearly 45 minutes so they still had 500 something pounds to spend on groceries for the week. If they LOSE tasks, they just get a basic shopping budget of 1 pound per person, per day for the entire week to spend on groceries and other essentials (such as toilet paper).

These guys have actually been pretty spoiled since BB3!! I was hoping with them saying they were going to make the All-Stars work harder for the prize money, there'd be more and HARDER comps....and less of a "whatever you guys want for giving us good tv" attitude.

"We need a nutritionist"...

Soy beans. Fiber, protein, carbs all in one little package. heheheheheh.

Actually, I've posted it previous years. PB & J for a week is not gonna kill anyone. Plenty of calories, protein, monounsat fat (a little fiber if you eat the chunky version), etc. Just a little low in fiber and missing some vitamins & minerals (hence they are provided with Multivitamins if they want). Somewhat constipating since they don't have fruits & vegetables. But it's only for 6 days. PB has more overall nutritional potential than tuna fish. We're they allowed milk with the sandwiches?? Oh, wait, only coffee and water. Too bad.

I'm thinking after hearing about the pov challenge, (fish garbage) that I'm thinking that its going to be Tuna in place of PB&J. Maybe they can have it on bread to round out the meal. ewwwww Tuna 24/7

Needle, most people when they say "this week", they mean Thursday-Thursday (a week BB time)...There is no show Sunday, so it's only a Thursday and Tuesday show this week.

as to the food, some people have suggested "prison loaf", which is given to people in jail when they break the rules....the prisoners hate it.

http://www.npr.org/programs/wesat/features/2002/apr/loaf/

Yield - Three Loaves (one day's nutrition for one person)

• 6 slices whole wheat bread, finely chopped
• 4 ounces imitation cheddar cheese, finely grated
• 4 ounces raw carrots, finely grated
• 12 ounces spinach, canned, drained
• 2 cups dried Great Northern Beans, soaked,
cooked and drained
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 6 ounces potato flakes, dehydrated
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 8 ounces powdered skim milk
• 4 ounces raisins

Mix all ingredients in a 12-quart mixing bowl. Make sure all wet items are drained. Mix until stiff, just moist enough to spread. Form three loaves in glazed bread pans. Place loaf pans in the oven on a sheet pan filled with water, to keep the bottom of the loaves from burning. Bake at 325 degrees in a convection oven for approximately 45 minutes. The loaf will start to pull away from the sides of the bread pan when done.

Wilson, that sounds like something I used to have to put together for a elderly woman I worked for years ago. I was her in home health care assistant and I prepared meals for her and monitored her diabetes. She was an "old school vegetarian"and had me mixing up some nasty stuff. Her own recipes. She loved them.

This loaf thing was one of her favorites because one loaf would feed her for several days and she did all kinds of things with it. We would freeze the extra. Mixing it up nearly made me puke.

I love that they all think it will be bugs. I like the prison loaf Idea. Disgustiing but nutritional.

I don't think it is good to eat tuna every day because it could have mercury in it. I think they got too creative with the bread so this year's torture foods won't include bread.
