Mummy...was Daniele on slop BEFORE she came in the house? Bet her hair weighs more than her torso---scary! Her arms are seriously little more than bones. Slop doesn't do that..esp in 1 week

yeah but she looked WAY to think IMHO in all the pics taken pre-show. Wasn't Dick talking about it too? I missed it, like most things lol, but thought I read it here. Just seeing it was SO dramatic.

And Erika looked emaciated by the end of BB..not the end of the first week! And truthfully I think Erika at her thinnest was much larger than Daniele now.

And Jen...Like RUN away...save yourself!!!!

carol would be best left in the house. She is unhappy because she turned down a great opportunity to come into the house.

I personally dont like Amber's attitude. Mind you, give it a few more weeks and people are going to clue in that she says teh same things to everyone.

So if it is true that Boogie and Will actually "coached" a HG that could be Nick. Nick really is trying hard to create a showmance with Daniele. I can see Will as having told him, find a cute girl, showmance and BB will ensure you last long...

Daniele's brother says that she is looking rather thin but she has NEVER had an eating disorder.

Some people just have a high metabolism and she is probably very nervous and uncomfortable right now and may eat more once she is settled in.

I wish BB would get rid of the slop. IMO it adds absolutely nothing to the game and just takes away from the fun.

I agree Jimmer.
They should just give them staples so they can eat but still have incentive to win food Comps for better food choices.

The slop just adds to the tension between folks--the ones on slop vs the ones who get to eat anything in front of them, thus leading to animosity. Plus, it puts more stress on the person eating slop, adding more stress to an already stressful situation, possibly causing emotional outburts for our viewing pleasure. It's the same as they did with peanut butter and jelly, but the slop is supposedly healthy because is has the required "healthy diet" vitamins, etc., whereas with the peanut butter and jelly, there was too much fat and sugar. I agree with Kalekona--they would get the same effect with a boring diet vs one where they have earned special treats.

And historically, the families of people with eating disorders are unaware that there is a problem until the person needs medical attention due to physical damage from the eating disorder. If the camera adds weight, can you imagine how thin Daniele really is? I'm not saying she has an eating disorder--I just think she is unattractively thin and her face looks gaunt.

FWIW, the camera doesn't add weight. It's a total myth.

Wait, you mean people actually believed that? I thought it was just an excuse for looking fat on TV.

Actually the camera DOES add weight...most prominently on film. I've worked with way too many folks in the business and the difference is always noticable.

And I have never seen any food restriction, be it PB&J or slop add one entertaining thing to the mix. Lot's of whining and complaining we have to listen to, but I haven't seen it have the type of dramatic affect they aim for. But seems many folks like taking the fun out of things--darned if I can figure out why, especially when, like this, it doesn't add anything. Shrug!

I didn't think it was a myth that the camera may make people look heavier. It depends on how they are photographed. Granted it won't won't make a really slim person look heavier and vice versa but it can create an impression of someone being larger than they are in real life.

This was on Jokers and all over SS:

Janelle said Jen was the CT ringer a few times. She said Will
07/02/07 03:26 AM Edit Reply Quote






told her what to look for to identify the ringer -- the girl with a slogan on her t-shirt. Apparently, Boogie does know her well. Janelle's take on it was that if the girl tanks, CT won't say anything publicly about it but if she wins they will claim a third CT victory.

that could explain why she is keeping to herself alot.

Evidently Woog were coaching Jen to be "like janelle" .....who went quite far in both games.

I can see teh same kind of gameplay occurring here.

Yeah I can see Jen being annoying enough to be Chilltown. I'm not seeing her as lasting super long as most folks have commented on how annoying she is, and I've hardly watched the feeds lol.

And Jimmer, you raise the exact point. The way it was explained to me by a professional photographer was that the camera lens converts perspective and space differently than the human eye. But a good pro knows how to work that camera and how to position a person to look better not worse. But MOST either don't have that expertise or the project doesn't have a budget for it (although with computer enhancements it's easier to retouch things now). But if someone is more or less just shooting, the image will look bigger than in real life.

Lurk,

For once I agree with you, putting people on slop does nothing to entertain. Do what the UK BB does, make them play for a budget, if you do not win the game you get a basic budget or basic food, win and you get a luxury budget or luxury food. Don't make them starve!!

As for Jen being a CT, I hope she goes next week not because of CT but because she is not contributing much to the house.
