Ryn | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 12:58 pm  HOW DISGUSTING!!! how much of it makes it on to TV I don't know - there was a TON of wretching. They got hot water for showers as a 'reward" and the winning team got "control" of the grocery list (how lame is that???) really really disgusting - Josh ate at least 3 pies and at the end was literally wretching between bites. |
Chris | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:02 pm  You can bet they won't be making any more pies for the duration of the game. |
Cynthia | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:04 pm  Was anyone else totally grossed out by this challenge? Talking about hurling, people covered with pie, I could stand to actually look at the video. Josh and Ed puked multiple times -- can anyone say "bulimia"? IMHO, it's really no laughing matter, not to mention the total wastefulness of it all. The "starving people in Somalia" comment when they were in the girls room at least showed that maybe someone in the house was thinking the same thing. |
Corkie41 | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 12:58 pm  I've just been reading on the Live Feeds that at least two, maybe three people have gotten sick during the challenge. First, the dog that could get Curtis sick. Then the challenge that DOES get others sick. I hope CBS has a good medical plan for these poor HG's. |
Bbgunner | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:04 pm  oh the wretching was gross!!! Josh even ended up wretching between bites (he ate 3, count 'em 3 raspberry pies! ewww!). Eddie made the most noise wretching, of course. I think these folks are gonna be in trouble later today with only 1 bathroom. Oh, and BB added a new rule today. If they ever decide not to even attempt a weekly challenge, they automatically lose 50% of their grocery money. So, Karen's team won the right to control the grocery list. Wonder if they'll buy her cigs? Everyone gets to take hot showers as a reward. As someone else said, wonder how much of this will make it to TV with all that wretching going on? |
Ryn | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:11 pm  Within 5 minutes we had 3 topics runing on this - I switched them all to one (except the old pre-challeng posts - I clossed that discussion) Sorry for any confusion |
Fluffybob | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:12 pm  I can't believe they did it, and in only 15 minutes too! HARDCORE! |
Wuvgeorgie | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:13 pm  Who thinks up these challenges? |
Chrisp | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:14 pm  Sorry, but I was LMAO!! It reminded me of my college days... Eddie and George seemed to have as much fun puking as they do drinking beer. Who actaully puked? Eddie for sure, Josh, and George? Any girls puke? Brit is saying she might; she's burping a lot anyway. She's in the shower saying she doesn't feel so good. |
Corkie41 | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:14 pm  Josh is still puking according to the Live Feeds. BB should call in a doctor quick. Sounds as if Josh is hurling more than he's consumed. |
Ryn | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:15 pm  Eddie and Josh is all I know about - and Josh more than eddie from what I saw (heard) |
Ryn | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:16 pm  Josh is fine now - in the pool - he did throw up some more a few minutes ago - but he is fine now |
Yowza | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:17 pm  As disgusting as it was I was cracking up watching that! Wear will they pour the puke? In the compost pile? |
Ryn | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:23 pm  Since BB is sending them to their bedrooms in a few minutes I imagine they will come haul out stuff....... |
Sphere | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:29 pm  It was a disgusting contest, what with the constant retching and vomiting. I'll be willing to bet that Big Brother presents a totally dishonest version of what happened on the tv show, as usual. They'll cut out all, or almost all, of the throwing up. Which will be hard to do, because one person or another was throwing up during most of the contest. And yeah, Josh was the worst, I think. He'd eat a little bit, throw up, eat some more, throw up. I'll bet on the show, you'll see them all eating pies, then maybe at the end they'll make it look like one person threw up afterwards or something. |
Luddite | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:31 pm  Curtis is da' Man!! Three pies down and no puking! (but plenty o' double-dipping ) |
Charlotteindigo | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:49 pm  I was against the idea of this challenge from the beginning. What a stupid, juvenile idea. Of course people were going to throw up. And for what? "Control of the grocery list." Wow. And won't the outcome make for riveting TV. If I were a houseguest I would have flatly refused to do it. Sacrifice 50% of the grocery money? OK. Those people have less backbone than I thought. |
Delia | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 01:52 pm  I had a problem with the pie eating challenge. When the challenge was first announced I thought it was good because the HG had to make their pies from scratch. This was good because it gave the HG's the experience/practice into how to make a blueberry or raspberry pie. More people should be baking from scratch these days, in my opinion. But just before they began the pie eating challenge today (Friday), there was so much talk about throwing up - to me they were setting themselves up for that. During the challenge, I had to stop watching and listening to the video feeds. I didn't want to hear stuff about someone throwing up. The pie eating challenge was good in concept, just the rules were misguided. It was also a big waste of food ingredients and materials. Blueberries and raspberries are not cheap and I heard the HG say the berries came from Canada, nor is unsalted butter cheap. This challenge was a waste of food ingredients and I think that's a shame.

Gwim | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:06 pm  Hmmm... Maybe the contest was all a Canadian plot to make the HGs sick. Can't trust 'em! (p.s. I do live north of the border, but don't konw anything about the plot, I swear) |
Rollerboy | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:12 pm  I'm with Luddite re Curtis. Way to go! The rest are lightweights. I've seen several of these at State Fair in Sacramento and don't recall seeing anyone vomit before though. We're they actually sick or just gagging and spitting out pie. I liked K's comment to B offering to "help" her vomit. One can only imagine how she was going to accomplish that. Sorry for graphic language, but couldn't think of any other way to say it. |
Puttergirl | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:18 pm  I forgot about Karen offering that "service"(?) to Brit myself until you mentioned it. Boy, those 2 have got some wierd relationship going there. What was Karen going to do? Stick her finger down Brits throat? Will this woman do anything to be seen as the beloved Mother figure? |
Jaybear810 | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:22 pm  This is the first I've been aware they HGs have been showering with cold water?? Is that right? How f-ing cheap is BB anyway? what's the point of not having a hot water heater in the stupid house? |
Blackbeard | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:29 pm  They get hot water between 7 am and 9 am every day. This is an incentive to get them up in the morning. Obviously it doesn't work, hence the cold showers. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with "being cheap". |
Jaybear810 | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:49 pm  thank you that almost makes sense |
Pugsrugly | Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:52 pm  I can't believe they made them eat pie till they puked, what next? Next Challenge, eat a package of exlax and see who can hold it the longest and spray it the furthest? |
