Seems like no one ever uses the pool this year! I wasn't even sure there was one until I made a point to look for it in tonight's show. Previous HGs spent a lot of time there but this year's group seems to only use the hot tub. Or have I missed it? Did something happen there? Does anyone know anything about the pool? Have I missed something?

cause the hot tub has bubbles and jets and the pool doesn't.

gerry did use it a few times.

Haven't they mentioned a few times how cold it has been outside? Maybe it's just the weather?

Bernie, I think you're correct about the temperature. I saw Marci jump in the pool yesterday and have an amusing shrieking fit as he quickly climbed out.

They do use it sometimes during the day, I think Jason uses it more than anyone, but they have all complained that it is too small, all they can basically do is stand in it. They jump in it from time to time when they are sun tanning.

Is this the same pool that has the lap generator as in previous years? If so, do they know it can do that? I would love to use it myself.

There's still pug hair in it.

I think you are confusing Pugita(BB1) with Ophelia the pig who fell in last year and had to be saved by Will.

As for the lap generator thing I don't think any year has ever figured out how to use it. They tried year one but never accomplished it that I saw.

Why is it so small? CBS should have plenty of lot space. If they had made it bigger I'm sure we'd be seeing them playing pool volleyball or pool basketball all the time.

I remember very well when Josh from BB1 had to jump in the pool to save the pug. After that, BB put a fence around the pool.

Because it is a lap pool not a swimming pool. There is a lap generator so you can stay in place and swim laps without ever moving.

There is still a chance it will be utilized in either a food challenge or HOH challenge....They do love the Hamsters in those bathing suits!

It seems to be smaller than the ones in the past. The first year they even did a competition in the pool, but I haven't seen more than one person at a time in this year.

They showed Eric and Lisa together in it, but she was practically on top of him so I suppose they count as one person.

I remember last year they filled it with ice when the Survivors came and Monica lost the competition when she couldn't find her key.

If it has a lap generator then why doesn't BB give them instructions on how to use it?

Sorry you are right about Pugita and Josh I had forgotten that. I think because a dog will swim on instinct and I think Josh paniced. As for Ophelia last year she was sinking fast.

As to the size of the pool it is the same pool that has been there since the beginning. And I live 20 minutes from the house and it has been plenty hot her in Southern California. I just don't think these guys are into small sized pools.

I am sure there will be some kind of challenge or two involving the pool just like years one and two.

So now I know! I guess the use has been so minimal it hasn't warranted much comment from the LF posters--or I missed it in skimming through all the repetitive scheming and plotting they do--I tend to doze off a lot when I read all that...So thanks for all the info--I knew you could tell me!

When Dan was talking about excersizing, she was laughing that Gerry did his in the pool and they showed a clip of it. If they all think he so unhygienic, maybe they won't use the pool since he does?
