Laisey | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 08:52 pm     Indigospy, Jee encouraged the HGs to eat the fruit so I'm sure it would not be considered disrepectful. |
Scribe | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 08:56 pm     Naja: BB1 - one week they had to ride a stationary bike without stop so someone had to always be on the bike; they had a week where they had to duplicate a design with dominos and the domino thing couldn't fall down etc |
Naja | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 09:02 pm     Thank you Scribe. I was wondering how "tasks" could be interesting, now I see what they meant. I was having trouble picturing them have to wash all the windows or scrub out the oven once a week as being interesting..LOL |
Beruthiel | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 11:56 pm     Another good one they had was the dance marathon. They'd have to get out of bed in the middle of the night to dance, and sometimes people who didn't like each other had to be partners, just so others could get some sleep. It was almost cruel, but very funny! |
Willsbills | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 12:34 am     Fuzzy- I ate my first PBJ of the season today. I think the trick to the diet is play in the pool, lay around sweating in the sun, run your mouth a WHOLE bunch, stab people in the back, sneak around and eavesdrop, Jump down people's throat, cover your ass and your mistakes and also eat only PB&J and drink only water. Maybe then we could lose some weight. |
Scribe | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:30 am     Right Beruthial - remember is one of the two fell asleep or stopped moving then the lost - What was that thing they did on the big table - was there somehting other than the dominos - |
Justareader | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:51 am     Didn't they also have a huge puzzle but not the picture to see what it was? Maybe that was the other thing on the big table. I have a terrible memory! |
Jkm | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:57 am     Anywhere is there just an outline of last BB? Like a super summary --statistics almost. the who when they went, what competition there were, what twists, guests at what episode. Kinda a trival pursuit kind of way? |
Beruthiel | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 06:01 am     I think uou're right, it was a huge puzzle, but I'm also a bit hazy on that! Does anyone remember the mechanical puppy that Will got when he and Nicole were the last two? My granddaughter begged for one of those and she got one, but it never got trained like Will trained his robot puppy! Those two were SOOOO bored at the end, they got movies every night, and all we had to post in the live feeds was that at such and such a time, Nicole came outside for a smoke because they left all the cameras on the backyard. LOL! Ooops, I think I should be in that other thread, about remembering 'the good ole days'! |
Sasman | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 06:21 am     Does anyone else feel sad at the low level of learning & knowledge shown by much of this year's hamsters? I was listening to Nate speaking a couple of days ago and was reminded that most of my friends whose first language was not English, speak much better than he does. Nate does not know the difference between 'went' and 'gone'. Like 'I should have went to the DR first'. |
Theowl | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:48 am     I remember some things that Chiara did on the big table. OH UCK!!!! No thanks for the memories!!  |
Laisey | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:15 am     Theowl. Just erase those memories and think BB1 big table. That table was brought in special for the challengs. No relation to Chiara whatsoever, not even a fourth cousin to the third degree. Don't think Chiara and all will be good. I think the puzzle was the picture taken of them in front of the house before entering. |
Minnyace01 | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:22 am     Sasman - what is even scarier than just their low level of knowledge is the fact that both Nate and Ali are college graduates. Makes you wonder about our educational system today. |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:32 am     I wonder whether Nate and Ali got athletic scholarships. Both were on their college teams, dance, and football. It may just tell you more about students in the athletics programs who can slide by without learning anything. I was also surprised at how little Jun knows. Dana was talking to jun about accounting courses she took in College and she was asking about different components, i.e. Income statement, Balance sheet, and Jun was looking at Dana with a blank face. I wonder whether Jun really is a financial analyst. She doesnt seem to know too much about finance. |
Laisey | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:38 am     Minny, it's not just today. It's been that was for some time. Over ten years ago I was working for the head of personnel at a large corporation. Frequently applications for employment would come in to our office rather than the employment department. There would be a resume which was obviously professionally prepared, because the cover letter was absolutely pathetic. Sometimes what the wrote was so far from what they obviously meant, I'd burst out laughing. (Got some strange looks from my coworkers.) I think they must stop teaching anything about English somewhere about third grade. |
Costacat | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:41 am     Maris, remember though... the producers have a tendency to "inflate" the "careers" of the houseguests. I mean, isn't Robert unemployed? So his current state should be "unemployed" and not "restaurant manager." I think ALL of these folks should be something-slash-model-slash-actor, which would be closer to the truth than "financial analyst" or "law student" or whatever. Even Erika, who's listed as a dance instructor, makes most of her $$ tending bar. Is she listed as a bartender? Nope. |
Maris | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:50 am     Agreed Costa. I laugh each year at these people who think this is going to jumpstart his career. I was listening to Robert the other night talking about Nate saying he doesnt have a hope making it in LA or New York with his prejudices. I dont know where Nate thinks he is going to get a career doing what? Pretty faces are a dime a dozen in the modeling business. Erika has also done commercials she said so it looks like Erika has some professional experience as well. She is probably looking for this to jumpstart her career. Jack, will write a couple of reader's digest pieces. Dana, Jun and Jee will go back to New York and disappear into oblivion. Robert will go work at Belly's. Justin will still be sitting in the sequestration house, till someone tells him that the show is over and it is time to go home. |
Sasman | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:58 am     Minny, not only is Ali a college graduate but she was a Pa. beauty queen champion. I for one think that I am watching the Twilight Zone instead of BB. Maybe Ali is a resident of the Twilight Zone planet where a woman has gone through many operations to fix her hideous face to make her look like everyone else and when they take off the bandages she is beautiful. Then you here the surgeon say 'we failed again'. And then we see for the first time other people and they are all as ugly as sin! |
Cndeariso | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 11:17 am     has everyone given up the idea of ever sending banners over the house again? |
Cndeariso | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 11:20 am     why haven't the extra chairs been taken away from the kitchen table as folks leave the house? |
Lostintheglades | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 11:24 am     Why do they let them sleep so long???? Geez...it's 2:00 in the afternoon here!!!! I'm at work and need something to do. |
Sasman | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 11:26 am     They are less boring when asleep! |
Cndeariso | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 11:27 am     where is there a copy of the houseguest rules posted? folks keep referring to them but I can't find them anywhere. |
Zachyd | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 11:40 am     Here is a question about screen caps I posted under "Making Screen Caps": Zachyd Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 03:41 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am on the Macintosh and I use the basic Shift+Command+4 method of taking Screen Caps.When I taking a full screen cap it is about 300k. I see people posting full screen caps under the size limit. I resize my caps in Adobe Photoshop to make the limit but the actual dimensions of the pics are small. Can any mac users help me? Thanks, Zachyd So my question was answered after that: Karuuna Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 04:07 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zachyd, when you resize your pics, are you resizing the dimenions, or are you downsizing them by resolution (pixels per inch)? You can also play with the file size by leaving them the dimensions you want them to be, but changing the quality of the file you save as a jpg (4 or 5 is usually plenty adequate for posting). I posted this question which I want to ask you all: Zachyd Monday, August 04, 2003 - 09:38 am ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another problem, I did the resizing and saved as a .jpg but when i posted the pic on the above post you see it saying justin-test instead of showing the pic. Anyone able to help? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am still looking for an answer so can anyone help me??? Thanks in advance,Zachyd |
Lostintheglades | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 12:22 pm     This usually happens if you are using the wrong syntax for the image...it should be Then when you post...you will be asked where the image file is. check the slashes and make sure you are using a backslash and not a forward slash check that you are using {} are not () |
