Bladewelder | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 06:26 am     Someone with live feeds must know. Just out of curiosity, were they off by a long shot or fairly close?? I'm figuring 'long shot'. |
Amylousc | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 06:34 am     Last night I figured the were off by 10 minutes. 10 minutes ahead. |
Maris | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 06:39 am     BB ought to sneak into the kitchen when they are asleep and change the time. They should do that everytime there is a lockdown outside, just to mess with their heads. |
Amylousc | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 06:42 am     Oh that would be great!! Good idea Maris. |
Missy2 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 06:46 am     OH THATS GOOD... hehehe |
Cajunrambler | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 07:28 am     I remember when Josh had to secretly tamper with the potato clock on BB1 as a challenge. That was fun to watch. |
Jack_Russell | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 07:35 am     Cajun "That was fun to watch" No pun intended I'm sure! lol |
Bluescreen | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 01:49 pm     I had heard they were about 7 minutes off. On the live feeds a few HGs mentioned that BB might mess with the clock during a lock down. They plan to check the clock against the live show since they know what time it occurs in "real time". Jason's estimates of what time it "feels like" (before the microwave) were usually within 15 to 30 minutes of the actual time. |
Guiltyviewer | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 03:40 pm     On live feeds at actual 2:24BB time, Gerry asked Josh what time was on the micro---it was 2:34!!! They're only off by ten minutes, so that's a pretty good guesstimate they made. What if BB required them to unplug the micro after they used it each time? Think they'd have to reset the clock each time though in order for the timer to work...depends on that model. |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 03:57 pm     I hope they are allowed to keep the clock. It shows their resourcefulness. They have talked about not knowing what time it is, whether it is time to eat or get up or shower, etc. Good for them to set a clock and call it "BB time". If BB really didn't want them to know the time surely they could have found a microwave without a clock. |
Cameltoes | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 04:01 pm     I've never really understood the point of keeping them in the dark about the exact time. It's not that hard to get a good guestimate especially considering how structured certain days are around challenges, the live show, etc. |
Cmc209 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 04:13 pm     Maybe giving them a microwave with a clock was good because now they have some sort of sense of time - maybe they'll see the clock say 4:30 AM and realize it's pretty late. Hopefully we won't have HG's snoozing until noon anymore once they realize how late they all sleep in. |
Roamjotiba | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 12:25 pm     They were 4 minutes fast when Jason set it Sunday but Gerry recalibrated it Monday morning and now it's 10 minutes slow or 4 slow and 10 fast? |
