What exactly is wrong with a bubble butt? I don't think it is a bad thing at all. Remember, Dana is 1/2 Cuban. From what I have seen, a lot of Latin men like big butts and small boobs on women, while "American" men prefer the opposite. I have a friend at work that talks about her husband's and kids' bubble butts all the time. It's actually quite cute in the context she is using it in. I think Dana's bubble butt comments about Justin was her just flirting with him and didn't mean anything mean about them. Long live Dana in the BB house! |
Katlady53 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:46 pm     Laluna, I never had to watch my weight until I hit my 40's. All of those dormant little fat cells suddenly decided to wake up and make me beg for mercy. I felt sorry for Jun because she was obviously so proud of herself for losing so much weight prior to entering the house. She appears to eat out of boredom. I do the same thing. I don't think it was really necessary to do a close-up of her gut on national television. I honestly do think that was cruel. |
Pirate | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:46 pm     I didn't feel sorry for Jun at all. She has no self control. If she is so stressed out, maybe she should ask Erika or Dana to help her with some exercising. At least if she eats it will help her not put on the pounds. She's a food addict. Maybe she should do what Jee's doing with the cigs and start cutting down. I don't feel a bit sorry for any of them. If they have watched previous years of BB they should have a clue that anything they say or do can be used against them. |
Twiggyish | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:47 pm     Jun's weight doesn't bother me.. I just don't like what she wears. (That's just my opinion) |
Hamsterlady | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:50 pm     Hey, I feel bad for Jun (as I've already stated) but I've dealt with my weight all my life. "Hello Yo-Yo" But I didn't sign a release allowing a major television studio to follow my life and my weight. Always read the fine print. |
Twiggyish | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:52 pm     Yup, that's the main point right there Hamsterlady! |
Lurknomore | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:53 pm     Um Pirate...Jee said he was cutting down and had a plan but that so far he hasn't adhered to it and he is down to only a few more packs of cigs. He'll cut down when he's out...a la Kent. Oh the fun a 2nd time around lol. Least he doesn't seem AS addicted. And I have a question Pirate...other than NOT have sex with Ali, what did Nate do to be outted on national tv (when he very likely isn't gay and even if he is he didn't choose to say so). I'm sorry that still just does NOT sit right with me. |
Tobor7 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Thanks Hamsterlady. Glad you are laughing. I'm informed that you'll see this editor posting here next week as soon as her computer is fixed. Best Buy is putting a new hard drive in for her, but they can't seem to save her data. Don't know what her handle will be, but she tells me that, "...it will be obvious to those who know, and those that don't won't care." |
Karuuna | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:57 pm     When we talk about what Jun wears, maybe we should remember that she brought clothes to wear when she came, and if she's gained weight since then, those clothes may not fit as well now. She doesn't have anything else to wear but what she came in with. Oh, and those lovely jumpsuits. |
Galelia | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:57 pm     Pirate, with cigs, though, it's so much easier to 'cut down.' I'm a 'food addict' (gosh, I can't believe I'm even admitting this out here) and was a smoker. Smoking was SO much easier to deal with than the food. Still is. My $0.02. |
Lilycakes | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:01 pm     Nope, no way, sorry. No sympathy for Jun. I would have had ALL the sympathy in the world if it weren't for her COMPLETELY uncalled comment regarding Ali's mother. There was absolutely no excuse for that one. Jun dissed an outsider and innocent in this game who did not sign up for it. Uncalled for and just plain nasty. No way should the editing have allowed Ali's comment about Nate either. All too often people believe where there's smoke there's fire. I'd like to see Nate have his comeuppance when it comes to his remarks but this should not have been implanted in the nation's minds. The other thing that burns me up about this segment was how they let Justin's reaction skate right through -- I was watching the feeds and he couldn't have hightailed it faster to his compadres to spill the beans. Did we see that? Noooooooo. |
Lurknomore | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:02 pm     True Karuuna, but if my clothes stopped fitting I would stop eating ESPECIALLY if I was on the internet 24/7 and TV 3 times a week...or at least cut down. I haven't seen her make a major effort. And trust me, I've spent my whole life dieting and when I see stuff stops fitting I take stock of my actions. And it's not like that house doesn't have 500 or so mirrors for her to notice LOL. Personally if I had her figure when I went in the house I'd have purchased a Tankini or a cute one piece. I don't think a lot of her gear did her justice PRIOR to the weight gain...which makes it far more noticable now. |
Aus10 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:02 pm     I so want to agree with Galelia. Please keep reminding me of your statement about smoking when my "Smoke Away" gets here in 7 to 10 business days... |
Twiggyish | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:03 pm     You have to admire Jun's confidence in herself. She just doesn't care what anyone thinks. |
Cathie | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:05 pm     I have battled weight problems for the past 10 years and know that for me the stress of being in the house could be a trigger for comfort eating. Knowing that doesn't automatically give you the ability to control it. If you haven't been there you most likely won't understand. That said, I am surprised at the wardrobe Jun brought into the house. Being aware of the possibility of a weight gain I would have gone for looser fitting, less revealing clothes. She is young, though, and apparently not self-conscious, even openly commenting about her jeans that don't fit anymore. I would probably be hiding in my room, so in comparison she seems to have a good attitude about this. |
Lurknomore | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:05 pm     I admire confidence in people...but I hate arrogance and superiority...and that is how she comes across to me. For her sake I hope your take on her is right. |
Katlady53 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:05 pm     I admire Jun's self-confidence, even though I think she goes overboard. I have always been so self-conscious about what I wear and how I look that I think it's kind of cool when people like Jun let it all hang out, no matter what others may think. |
Galelia | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:07 pm     Aus10: That's not to say the smoking was a piece of cake (ha! food related pun intended). That piece on Jee tonight made my crave a cigarette. Holy cats. Good luck with the smoke away!! |
Bluerose | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:07 pm     Lurk, I want to know the same thing about Ali. Here I was defending her all week for getting Dana off her throne and she turns around and does this not just to Nate but to his family who probably are church goers. I say this because Bible churches are really agaist gays and it doesn't matter if Nate was gay but trust me, the little church goers in that Oklahoma town are gonna think it. This is what Ali has done. It is unbelievable. |
Pirate | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:10 pm     I don't remember who said it, but I agree with the poster that said Ali's comments makes Ali look bad, not Nate. Just goes to show you she'll say or do anything to win. |
Lilycakes | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:10 pm     Lurk so often sums things up so well: Superiority and arrogance. That's what I see with Jun. Of ALL people, she should be sympathetic towards others and their personal battles but we see none of that. |
Maris | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:10 pm     You should also be aware that Jun quit smoking before she came in to the house. She even said it to Dana the first week that it was probably a big mistake quitting smoking coming into the house. I know when I quit smoking I gained over 20 pounds by eating to compensate for the lack of cigarettes. I honestly dont see the connection between her making nasty comments about people to a justification for people to make nasty comments about her weight. She is doing it therefore so should I? Not a great rationale if you ask me. |
Clubcarl | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:11 pm     I missed the show and am only going on what I've read, but I think that because sequestered houseguests are only shown bits from the show, sans diary room, one way the producers can sway the jury is to put a lot of the crude stuff in the show especially Ali's comment about Nathan. By the editing and the way things have been going I wouldn't be surprised by an Erica/Ali or Jun/Ali finale. I think the guys will implode. Want Jack to win but he can't seem to communicate with the others without sounding authoritative. Also wouldn't it be funny to hear him say 'bling bling'. <going to hide now> |
Hamsterlady | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:14 pm     It would be funny to hear Jack say "Bling bling"....hehehe Don't hide Club. |
Lurknomore | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:14 pm     Cathie I lost 50 lbs so I have been there and I DO understand. The last few years I've put on a LOT of weight because I could no longer exercise because of the severed nerve in my back, a lifelong lousy metabolism, and yes some poor eating habits. When I was no longer fitting in the largest size I ever wore in my life I said ENOUGH and set out to figure out a livable way for me...I found by cutting carbs,starches and sugars and being sure to cheat regularly but in small doses I was able to get it off and keep it off...and I plan to do that. I've given myself a 10 lb window and as soon as I reach that I am back to ONLY healthy eating. So I think personal responsibility and willpower are huge factors. And I know for me many diets in the past were hell...this wasn't so bad because I didn't deprive myself (though I still miss pasta on a more regular basis). But life is a trade off...and I made my choice. BTW I think if someone is confortable being a larger weight and is healthy that is perfectly fine too...as long as they are content with it. I wasn't. |
