If Arnold is good at anything, its squirming around perceived rules issues, I hope you are loaded to the hilt with evidence.

I think if he got away with it without one of the other houseguests catching him, then it's just fine. They are the one's who should do the protesting, and if they missed it, then it didn't happen. After all, the game is really about deceit and sneakiness anyway.

Hawk... Lisa's the one who put the banana in the sandwich, and she asked Roddy if he minded first.

Maybe they will have Julie ask him about it while showing video to the hg's during the show...

It's a bannana, it's not like he had a double cheeseburger and fries.

Ryan last year we had a big hullabaloo about a cheerio. Rules is rules or they are just decorative trappings without much value.

If he lost a competition that involves a diet restriction, it does not matter what it is.

Besides, PB&B...not to be underestimated, one would have to work very, very hard to find a better sandwich in my books. :)

If this were real life, and he were just spoiling dinner, I would agree, but he is participating in a 500K gameshow. I wish people would take it more seriously.

If Eric actually violated one of the rules, then perhaps Julie will "surprise" him tomorrow on the live show and tell him that not only will he be unable to participate in the HOH competition, but that he also got a penalty nomination

Wcv63 - I remember. I never was really sure if it was a cheerio or a chip.

Krisduh was eating Ophelia's cheerios...

(crikey, I'd *love* to have that brain cell back)

Wait! Wasn't Ophelia the pig? How did I miss Krista (Krisduh) doing that?

I don't remember, what happened to her? Did she get penalized?

I think we should email someone about this..because he is cheating!

When Josh stuffed his pants full of chocolate house virtually nothing was done about it and it was hardly shown on tv at all. They should be punishing those who cheat somehow.

BB knows we are seeing and counting things like banana sandwiches. He owes us, the fans, some kind of reaction.

Are they just allowed peanut butter or can they have jelly too...? Ya know, Good ole' homemade banana jelly. Seriously tho, I was wondering, say if they had fresh strawberries, couldn't they mush a few up or do you think they have to use the stuff in the jar. (the rules probably don't even cover this, heck, I can't even believe I pondered it...lol)

I *thought* it was PB&J. Which means, Eddie, that mushed up strawberries don't count. Now, if they had enough sugar and some pectin and could make their own jelly/jam, that might be different. But banana jelly? Major yuck!

They can only have peanut butter and grape jelly. I have listen to Tonya complain ad nauseum about if it was just strawberry jam she could eat it but she hates grape Jelly. I remember last years crew making the same complaints.

As for Eric cheating do we have a screen capture of the actual banana in the sandwich because if we don't Arnold will just say we don't know what we are talking about just like last year.

i believe that the rules are - both the person who eats and the person who gives them the food is up for a penalty nomination.

I have a feeling the rules allow for up to a nomination, but do not automattically require it. I'm sure Arnie wrote things up to give him as much pattitude as possible.

This is BB--it's never been about being fair.

(not saying that is good or bad--just saying that is the way it's been)

yesterday or the day before, lisa tried to give him a pb sandwich with chips on it and he reminded her he couldn't have it.... and now he cheats, eh?

Tonya crushed up strawberries and put sugar in them.

I just wrote an email to ASPProductions.com and pointed out just that. The part of my email pertanent to this subject follows:

Last but not least. Once again the question about penalty nominations and PB&J rears its ugly head. Two days in a row Eric has eaten a Peanut Butter & Banana sandwich. At least one of the times the sandwich was made for him by Lisa. So my question is why are they both not up for penalty nominations. If the rule stands the same as last year she is just as guilty for making/offering it as he is for eating it.

I would appreciate your kindly looking into the resolution of the above matters. Thank you in advance.

Maybe they feel like jelly is made from fruit and as long as eaten as jelly or jam constitutes no infraction of the rules? I know I'm reaching while trying to figure out how they are going to justify it. Because justify they will.

did you ask about josh using his hands during the competition? i think at least he should have been on pbj if not his entire team...arnie, arnie, arnie...what are the rules? or is the rule this year, "there are no rules?"

because if there are no rules, i think the moderator who ate my posts about chiara yesterday should have to put them back! lol

Yeah... they probably will use the fruit used as jelly in the sandwich justification. The worst they would do is give them an extra day of PB&J.

I don't think the "bannana = fruit = jelly" theory works since BB would only allow them grape jelly. Tonya doesn't like grape jelly and asked for another flavor and was told no. I don't know about the strawberrys & sugar for Tonya. This is the first I heard of it, but she and Gerry were talking this morning saying they wished they could just put sugar or butter on toast and it wasn't allowed.

Didn't they tell the guys last year that if they were able to tempt one of the girls (who had lost and were on PB&J) to eat some of their food then the girl would get a penalty nom? I don't remember them saying that both parties would be nominated. I kind of thought that was the point. The one team could try to tempt someone to eat and get them a nomination.

Then again, it is a new year and they could claim that the old rules no longer apply. They're just making it up as they go along.
