Shipwreck | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:29 pm  us west coasties....hate to miss what eddie will say. you know they will clean it up on tape delay |
Karri | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:30 pm  Jamie talked to them, and BB said they can't use paper towels. If they use something and the toilet backsup, then they'll have to pay for the plumbers bill with their food money. BB says it happens in all the BB houses. One went a week with no TP. I say..fine except the hamsters are right and BB does owe them money for their shopping shortages. |
Auntie | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:31 pm  :::snarf::: on eddy's hand and centerpiece... i am laughing so hard at the stupidity of the bb staff! haven't they figured out yet that there are no frigging secrets on the wuh wuh wuh? entire email systems have crashed with outrage over urban legends concerning a variety of silly issues. johnny carson and the tonight show toilet paper shortage back in the seventies should remind bb folks just how important fluffy paper on rolls is to the american public. this is hysterical. anyone got the cbs email address? i think i might start an email campaign, lol! |
Rufusgriswold | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:31 pm  A helicopter could lower a carton of toilet paper on a rope. That wouldn't be dangerous and it would be highly effective during the live show! Anyone in L.A. know a helicopter company? |
Adamblast | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:33 pm  Actually, Karri, BB said not to FLUSH the paper towels. They still plan to use them, just throw them away (and take out the trash a lot, I guess... ) Meanwhile George, oblivious to reality as usual, is still claiming--in spite of BB--that flushing them is fine, if you do it one at a time... |
Murphy | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:36 pm  Well...it is a little amazing that they have used that much paper of late. And only 2 women around?? Maybe George is also hiding TP? The plot thickens. I say send in Mr. Wipple! |
Homer | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:37 pm  BB keeps asking them why the "us against them" attitude. Are they for real? This latest BB directive of giving them the option of spending their ENTIRE $40 reserve on toilet paper or waiting 'til groceries arrive Friday afternoon is not going to engender any warm fuzzies for BB from the HGs. Get a clue, BB. |
Nagster | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:39 pm  Think it would create positive waves if we all went to CBS.com, the feedback section, and complained about the toilet paper issue and the nasty way in which BB is treating these people? It sure wouldn't hurt! |
Voyeur | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:40 pm  God, these people are pansies. No toilet paper? Suck it up and deal, sheesh. I would take one of the sheets and cut it up for wipe usage. Put them in a bucket filled with water and detergent and wash them every day. It's not a hygiene issue, it's a prissy issue. Yeesh, people are probably shocked that there are people who still wash baby diapers and use washable cloth pads for menstrual periods. |
Farrell99 | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:51 pm  Oh no!! Doesn't the garden need some fertalizer? |
Delia | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:55 pm  It's the HGs own fault that they don't have toilet paper. If they had budgeted responsibly and had ordered TP instead of loads of beer and sodas, they'd have plenty of toilet paper. Not very clear thinking, in my opinion. Delia |
Oldfart | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:56 pm  I'm with Voyeur. This is supposed to be Back to Basics and the HGs should address the issue without whining. At least George seems to be able to deal with it (can't believe I said something positive about George). Also, BB may be antagonizing the HGs on purpose, hoping that this will stir the pot enough to have some of them walk out. |
Karri | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 03:59 pm  I agree with Delia. I do think they ordered the more expensive, longer-lasting TP brand and received a cheaper, short-lasting brand instead. Coincidence or clever plan?? LOL I know..the CBS mole intentionally used too much potty paper this week to foil the hgs! I love this message board! |
Spaz | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:07 pm  Delia, I think it was addressed earlier that the losers on the BB staff have never shopped before and happen to be illiterate to boot. The HG's ask for specific brands of items and they get generic crap (pardon the reference to the topic--no pun intended) and are charged WAY TOO MUCH for it. Case and point: Josh's request for deodorant was ignored and he was given female roll on deodorant. The HG's asked for a specific brand of toilet paper (for the thickness and additional sheets) and were given some lousy brand that didn't last. I don't see how anyone could budget when they have people more idiotic then the green haired chicken eunuch shopping for them. And I think BB is a big pile of fertilizer for not supplying Toilet Paper and trying to charge the housemates $40 for a purchase that will probably amount to $4. In the real world that is called extortion. |
Voyeur | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:10 pm  Actually, they complained about the store "Ralph's" brand tp and asked for better. They got some nice expensive Charmin, and are paying for it. Generally, the nicer, expensive brands are fluffed up with air to make them softer but you have to buy more of it because there is less paper. They have just discovered that while the rolls look big, too much of it is just air. We buy the Scott's 1000 sheets on a roll, it's only one-ply, but the ply is thicker, and you can make a nice "wipe wad" with less actual paper than with the 2-ply stuff. So they're learning a bit about toilet paper economics. |
Muddy | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:19 pm  I guess I'm in the minority on this issue. I think this is the kind of thing BB should have done from Day 1, to prevent the house from becoming day camp for navel gazing. I also remembered them being happy when they got the TP because it was Charmin brand. If it's bothering them so much, fork over the $40. Was hair dye more important to them? If stricter on food bill, maybe other HGS also would confront George about digging up the garden for his treasure hunt, etc. |
Kearie | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:22 pm  No matter how many rolls they bought and how much it cost, no family of 6 goes through 3 rolls a day. I don't buy it. I think they need to find out if Geo is burying TP in his hole out back. Food, toilet paper....what next. I love the idea about using the money BB puts in the house. I hope they think of that. :-) |
Squib | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:27 pm  Maybe they should have tried harder to put the freakin' puzzle together! It's their own fault. |
Mystery | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:29 pm  Hey, good point, Squib. They really just gave up on that, didn't they? |
Katie | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:32 pm  "We buy the Scott's 1000 sheets on a roll, it's only one-ply, but the ply is thicker, and you can make a nice "wipe wad" with less actual paper than with the 2-ply stuff." That is what they did ask for but were given the Charmin. They have asked for the Scott's everytime and they got the generic, then they complained and said they wanted the Scotts and still didn't get it and got the Charmin. They were happier with the Charmin then the Ralphs but have consistently written in Scotts. As I understand it, the shopping list is divided up and some of the interns do follow the list exactly but some don't. They have gone over the pages before and been able to see that compliance goes by pages. One page is good and another is lousy. I think it might depend on how that interns feels about shopping or maybe even the houseguests. |
Battlestar | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:34 pm  Does Jamie use toilet paper when she takes off her make--up?? and quickly reapplies it..... |
Fifi | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 04:43 pm  With all the talk of no toilet paper, Josh, Curtis, Eddie et al. have been making tons of poop jokes. Jamie doesn't seem too upset about that. So does that mean Jamie only gets upset when they talk about her pooping but when they talk about other people's poop, that's okay? |
Katie | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 05:01 pm  There have been several conversations with different groups of them about the fact that their diet is really bad and they have a problem with constipation because of it. I wonder if that has anything to do with any of this? |
Jombie | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 05:08 pm  I'm leaving the house right now for banishment night...I'm bringing a 4-pack !!! I will bring it right up to the house and throw it over the wall... Those S-O-B's won't let them have any until FRIDAY...Watch!!! It will be so worth a night in jail!!! |
Katie | Wednesday, September 13, 2000 - 05:15 pm  You are joking right??? |
