Ok, I know when reading the live feeds that FOTH is the term when the feeds go to fish/flames/water/whateveritisthisyear. What exactly does FOTH stand for? I've been trying to get the acronym for a few seasons now. <totally dumb>

Being a SciFi geek I still say it looks like a StarGate opening,a worm hole or the opening credits for Dr. Who.

Dunno about any of those things in Kalekona's posting, but having had several ultrasounds, I do know what those look like! LOL

I think it's supposed to be what Alice saw as she fell down the hole.

I have a favor to ask. I think it's pretty inappropriate to mention that Danielle is anorexic without anything to back it up. Eating disorders are not something that should be thrown in someone's face if that person is thin. Yes, she's thin. So what? If she was really sick, wouldn't they have found out about it at casting and during all the psych and physical evals they went thru?

So my question is... would it be possible to not mention Danielle's thinness without saying she looks anorexic? Please?

its a vortex. At work when we mixed fluids we would use a vibrating machine which caused this Exact effect in the water/ fluid.

vor·tex [vawr-teks] –noun, plural -tex·es, -ti·ces . 1. a whirling mass of water, esp. one in which a force of suction operates, as a whirlpool.

dont you guys all hate it when I'm always right LOL

Costacat - While I agree and was just going to post something similar, the BB psych eval is notoriously lacking.

Costa, that is a nice thing to ask, but not everyone may agree. Saying she looks anorexic means she looks thin. I don't know that anyone would be saying she is anorexic. I will say, however, that there are several other contexual cues that suggest she really has some significant body image issues...a diagnosable eating disorder aside. I'm betting we'll be able to see if there is anything to it over the next few weeks.

ETA: That's my fear, too, Kswheels. Their "psych eval" process is really questionable.

Costacat, and while I agree with you, I think my words were that she looks not that she is. I can't even remember where I posted about it, but then someone said that Daniele said yesterday that she has lost 6+ pounds while in the house...so that could really explain her thinness. I am sorry if I offended someone with my words...I certainly didn't mean to. Mostly thinking out loud and also at the same time that she didn't need to be in the house if she is sick.

Again, my apologies!

As someone who is thin, and who gets asked that question, I find it very offensive. Calling someone anorexic is just as bad as calling someone fat. Anorexia is a serious eating disorder. Saying she "looks anorexic" does not necessarily mean she "looks thin." If that's what you mean, say it.

I'm sorry, but in almost every thread someone calls her anorexic or tiptoes around it by not calling her a name and saying she "looks" it.

Can't we just agree she looks thin and leave it alone?

(Sorry, it's very frustrating and it's really bothering me. Enough that I'm about over it now.)

I was watching a recording of the Showtime edition and she said (I am paraphrasing) she has never been this thin before and she felt she looked horrible.
