Lostinthefog | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 02:21 pm     Most doctors say that 1 inch of height above 5 feet equates to 5 pounds. So if Chiara is 4 inches taller than Tonya and you subtract the 16 pounds, Chiara would weigh 116 pounds and 4 less pounds than Tonya at 120. |
Bmh | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:08 pm     Well we cant argue that Big Brother is letting them lie about their actual weights..Im mean..the weight of some of the people aren't exactly accurate but they are close enough to be believable Oh and did u hear that Tonya was not happy with her weight..I was watchin the feeds and she did not look happy..lol |
Pirate | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:17 pm     Is it true that a person appears to be about 10 pounds heavier than they really are when seen on film or through a camera? Just a thought. |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:20 pm     Why do they weight them anyway? They did it last year too. I think it's to instill psychological terror in the girls. |
Bmh | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:29 pm     No the challenge was for 2 teams of 5 to weigh themselves and then eat a giant brownie house thing..and then which ever team gained the most weight by eating the house wins food for the week and the losers get pb+j for a week But your right the girls absolutely hate it |
Zeyna | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:35 pm     I wonder why .. look we even have a thread about it - No wonder women have so many issues with weight when everyhting is so finely disected. I'm not saying that I don't have the same questions and thoughts as everyone here, it's just funny that we're not discussing the men at all. There's been so many threads about various women weight issues, it's almost disturbing. |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:36 pm     I guess what I mean is that BB has worked in the weighing contest two years in a row now. I think they want everyone to be weight conscious for the cameras or something. I know, Zenya. It's very disturbing. I do it too. Oh, and I said "weight them" in two posts now. Hello--spell much? |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:48 pm     well, eating a big old brownie house...weigh them in a week and see how much of it stuck! i can pig out at christmas time--and a week later, it shows up! not right after i eat, so that i would stop eating!! |
Scorpiomoon | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 05:55 pm     Zeyna: It is a very disturbing trend--to scrutinize women but cut men more slack. Someone could start a thread about Gerry's weight and it might be considered inappropriate whereas we can discuss Tonya's breasts at great length. But it is even harder to address certain things on a message board because when you certain "finely dissecting" people what sems to happen is that insults and harsh comments are made and the discussion gets out of control. I was apprehensive about starting this thread, but I couldn't help it. I was genuinely surprised. But I have to say, after coming back to this thread and reading the posts that explain why one person may weigh more than another were informative and appreciated. So, I hope my action wasn't for nothing. |
Montybooth | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 11:22 pm     "Someone could start a thread about Gerry's weight and it might be considered inappropriate whereas we can discuss Tonya's breasts at great length." Hey, wouldnt bother me at all. They all put themsleves in the situation, and scrutiny (of both the males and females) is natural for viewers. |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 11:25 pm     Tell us how you really feel, Monty. Don't hold back! BTW, lots of writers at the board this year. Is BB a good study in human behavior? |
Gelcell | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:57 am     Tanya's boobs and head are filled with Helium enabling here to appear lighter than she looks. Also some unnecessary organs may have been removed during the tummy tuck. |
Surini | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:05 am     lmao Gelcell...good thinking! |
Montybooth | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 11:57 am     Hey, my coment about Gerry's fat neck disppeared. C'mon, I was just trying to say its all fair to scrutinze both sexes, not just the women. |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:23 pm     Tonya is very petite, short and small boned. Her boobs are actually only "b" cups but appear much larger on such a tiny body. Many years of perusing Mens magazines have convinced me that short women actually have better shaped body parts that look oversized on their small bodies; whereas a "c" cup on a tall 5'10" large boned woman appear to be flat-chested. |
Kissysmom | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:31 pm     Hardywins.. I seem to remember a convo Tonya had with one of the others.. I could swear I heard her say she went from a B to a DD! |
Max | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:42 pm     There is no way that Tanya's ta-tas are a B cup! The exception would be if she's cramming the new D-sized ta-tas into a B cup bra, thus providing a visual of the phrase "My cup runneth over." Yes, she's petite, but I think a D cup is more accurate. |

Cyn | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 07:53 pm     not really about Tonya, but about weight loss. did ya' catch Eric and lisa yesterday when Eric said to lisa, "wow, Chiarra's gaining weight. look at her thighs." Lisa - "no!." Eric - "You're just being nice." |
