Sawyou | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:36 am     During the Veto compitition Erik was the only one I saw pick up the white ball and re-arrange it so he could get a better shot (shooting out the last ball except his, Kiki?). Isn't that cheating? |
Cmc209 | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:39 am     i noticed that too! It should be illegal - but then again it's probably up to the houseguests to complain about him moving the ball. |
Eden | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:20 am     He did pick up the ball and move it but he did it because the ball was up against the wall. It appeared he used the rule observed in Miniature Golf and moved the ball the length of the club from the wall to facilitate a shot. No foul. |
Marcieb | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:23 am     During the competition, I could hear the announcer but not the hgs. Several times the voice said, "If the ball goes out, place it approximately where it was before it was hit out." That may have just happened when you saw Eric rearranging. As a side note, the voice repeated after almost every shot, "You MUST name the player whose ball you are trying to hit." The HG's just didn't get it and the guy was getting frustrated. It didn't show up on last night's show but it was quite a problem. Oh, yea, they will each get the ball with their picture when they leave the house to keep as a reminder. |
Floresmama | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:24 am     Its not like it wasn't obvious that he is the only one who wanted any part of the veto anyway. That was really an excercise in boredom. |
Zachsmom | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:25 am     considering we were not there for the reading of the rules..to say that Eric cheated is pure speculation.. |
Wargod | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:30 am     I was posting the lfp's during this competition and Marcieb is right. The BB announcer repeated several times to move the ball away from the sides and put it where it was. And he was very frustrated having to repeat the same thing over and over again. They also didn't show on the show that during the competition someone broke one of the balls because they had to stop for a minute to fix it. |
Sia | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:41 am     It's not against BB's rules if the producers of BB want Eric to win Power of Veto, now, is it? You don't think they're swaying the outcome of this game? I think a lot of the FotH time this year is to keep 'net viewers from learning how much rehearsal is actually done on BB and to hide the fact that the HGs are coached by their staff psychologists to think/vote any way AS wants them to think and vote! (Guess I'm a conspiracy theorist in this respect.) |
Spygirl | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:49 am     Thanks for the clarification War & Marcie. That will keep from sending this thread into conspiracy land  |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:51 am     Oh NO! not another cheater..lol pretty soon they will all have cheated and it will be even..hahaha (maybe the rule is everybody does it once and then we will make you pay for your sins) |
Wargod | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:53 am     Hehehe, the only reason I recall that so clearly is because it was the most entertaining time I had doing lfp's watching nothing. We had the lizard cam (and they were frisky that day!) and the sound was on the announcer and the hg's you could barely hear. IMO, much better than the FOTH and annoying music, LOL. I was also cracking up, because the announcer sounded like a teacher with a roomful of 6 year olds, repeating the same things over and over again, LOL! |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:48 am     Wargod..the announcer is with a room full of 6 year olds..lol How many times do some have to be told to put on their mics? |
Kaili | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 12:10 pm     In minigolf I thought the rule was that you could move it the distance of the bottom of the club (as in the few inches length of the meta part). Didn't Eric lay down the entire club and put it that far out? I would have thought it would only be okay to move it the distance of that bottom part. Must have been okay though...no one objected did they? |
Wargod | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 12:39 pm     LOL Earthmother. You are so right! |
Eden | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 01:31 pm     Hey! You're right, Kaili!!! It IS supposed to be the distace of the club face! My bad!! I think they didn't complain cause none of them wanted it and they were ready to get the whole thing OVER with! lol |
