Justin just now - reading the rule book, "Use of protien powder will be restricted when food restrictions are in effect"

There are no rules. I just love this. We hear a HG read a rule from the rule book on the feeds and they show that rule being violated on the TV show. It'll be FOTH from now on if the word rule is mentioned.

They go to the book often, it will be interesting how we all will be able to piece it together.

What would happen if someone who HAD to eat PPJ cheated and grabbed something else when only BB was watching? What happens?

What could we hypothesize would take place if a penalty nomination were to occur, though?

Would it be 3 people up that week?

Would it be up to the HOH to take one of the noms off to place the p.n. on?

Would it matter if a HOH or an already nominated got a p.n.?

-------

how would y'all structure the penalty nomination proceedure? (I'm assuming it hasn't happened prior and not in rulebook already?)

Tobor7

The HOH only gets to put up 1 person. If 2 people are already put up, then the penalty would be the third person. (Not the rule, just a thought.) But BB should do it once to let the HGs know the rules are not BS.

"You remain CBS "property" for one year"

Changed this year to two years.

Can anyone eat the HOH's food? Or is there a rule against the HOH sharing food?

<ed. What the point of these HG's being property of CBS? Does anyone out there even CARE about who wins this game more than a week after it's over every year? They should have SHORTENED the property rule.>

Isn't there a rule that says you cannot make a deal to split any prize money with other contestants? Robert has made a deal with Justin and Jee to give them part of his winnings, and I think they're making a deal with him in case they win..

I know this is probably a moot point because I don't think any of the three of them will win any money...but shouldn't BB (who is listening all the time!) point this out to these idiots?

It should be against the rules to even use this within the context of the game because you could get people to keep you in the house on this 'illegal' premise, which is probably why BB has this rule.

Mrose4243, I was wondering the same thing. If memory serves this is the second time in a couple of day's that Robert has tried to make this deal.
It should be against the rules.
Not a fan of Robert so I say 'throw the book at him'.

C1Mag pointed out on another thread that maybe Robert knows about this rule and is making the deal anyway....fully aware that if he wins, the producers will enforce the rule and he won't have to give anyone any money, but can use this promise to keep the alliance going! It would be just like Robert to pull something like that!

But then Justin & Jee would be stupid to not know about the rule and would deserve what they get....NOTHING!

This is probably pointless anyway, because I don't see any of the 'jee-three' winning anything!

Exactly my thought Mrose. But how can BB enforce it. Once he has the money can't he do what he wants to with it?

Maybe BB is stallin until the last of the show since that would be 3 penalty noms and would make for a really short season...?????

I remember that Will wanted to make a deal with Nic... that if she won she would buy Will a car. BB made them kill that deal, and they were told that they could not make a deal like that. If Robert said this, BB should tell all the other HGs what was said. Give a warning or something...

Robert and Jee were (again!) talking about making a "pact" while they were in the HOH room. Robert's working out the percentage that one of the three (including Justin) of them will win. And Jee's agreeing, as long as they are all "serious" about it.

I'm a bit surprised BB hasn't said anything to them yet. I'm also a bit surprised that there wasn't anything in the contract that specifically prohibits sharing prize money with other contestants. (Although it's likely there was and those three himbos didn't read/comprehend.)

I think HOH can share if he/she wants to. But not when the HGs are on PB&J diets. But Jee hasn't shared, that I've seen. He's currently sitting in the HOH room, by himself, eating Pepperidge Farm cookies and milk, and looking at his girlfriend's pic.

When Julie says: "The evicted HG has one minute to say bye and leave the house..." what happens if the evicted HG just sits in the chair... SHOCKED... and doesn't leave? And on Live TV!

I was thinking tonight it would be great if the evicted houseguest was so pissed they blew all of the alliances wide open! I mean just to stir up trouble, and say who hates who, who isn't really aligned with who, anything that would reveal something they wouldn't want revealed... It would make for an interesting after the show! hehe :)

Last year, one of the evicted HG's got to come back in the house. I wonder if they will do it this year. I haven't seen anyone talk about it on the show.

I heard that there will be no re-entering of the house by evicted HGs this year.

They each get paid $750 a week- for every week they are on the show. I suppose the same thing for the seq's as well.

Laisey

Tobor, They do get the $750 through the sequester. Robert and Jee have mentioned it to each other on more than one occasion, making it very clear that is the main reason they wanted to make it to the sequester point.

Tobor7, Re: cleaning the toilet with toothbrush belonging to another hg, you're right that the guilty houseguest is not kicked out of the house.

I think the rule is after doing such deed they have to replace the toothbrush with a brand new one.

Tobor7

Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 03:35 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yeah, plus they have to tell the other HGs what they did. But no REAL penalty. Does anyone know why they call the $750 a "stipend" as opposed to a salary? Is it to get around the SAG P&W payments? Do you think taxes are taken out? Are they 1099 indy contractors? I think if they win, they get to keep their weekly pay as well.

Tobor, the finalist and runner up do not get their stipends.
