Hah? Kelli, remember the "pick your ex up and weigh her" competion where they ended up with eating all the potatoes, everything BUT meat and how miserable Nate was.

The "half on PB&J" thing has only been happening every other week if I'm remembering correctly.

Spunky, many of them were in a cage for over six hours. I'm sure that's part of the reason they're being allowed to sleep in.

Kellirippa, the same thing happened last year when the house was split for food competitions, one team would be eating peanut butter. This is not new.

I'm taking a stand for all of us with peanut allergies!!!
There is no realistic reason to reject someone from the game because they can't eat peanut butter.. something else could be substatuted.. Bologna, Liverwurst etc.

PEANUT ALLERGY SUFFERES UNITE!!!!

BB IS NUTS..

:) lol but i do think if someone is rejected based only on the peanut butter that some lawyers could get some great PR sueing AS and company...

Kale, that's a good point. The HGs shoule be made to choose before they enter that if they have to go on PB&J they must choose between peanut butter or blogna. That would take care of both those with allergies, those who were Muslim or those who were vegetarian.

Any allergic, Muslim vegans would be screwed though. :)

Vegemite and jelly!

but if someone in the house had a peanut allergy, then they wouldn't even be able to have the peanut butter in the house.

I dunno. They've made medicine for that now. I have a friend with ............. whatever that big ol' long disease is ........... narcolepsy :) or something ......... anyway. She can have like one peanut and it won't kill her. She couldn't split a box of cracker jacks with me or anything, but if she accidentally had contact with one, she'd be fine.

If BB is going to cater to some alergies they will have to cater to all sorts of stuff. For example:

Sexually Transmitted deseases.
House dust allergies.
Overweight people.
Anorexics.
Bipolar personalities.
People with (obvious) criminal backgrounds.
Liberals.
Lower IQ people (Oops, the have done that this year)
Turtle allergies.
....

The list is endless. It is better if Arnie keeps this pandora's box closed.

Well, Kelli I agree with you, old and tired. I'd like to see them have weeks where it was nothing but oatmeal or hot dogs. It's not going to kill them and it would be waaaay more fun to watch!

Mystery

Oatmeal, what a great idea. One thing I can think of would be to make it and try to fry it or bake it as some kind of oat cake. And think of the number of bowls that would be used and have to be washed.

Well, finally, thank you for your support Beangirl.

If BB had to cater to people with alergies and such, they might just end up with ordinary people in the house! We can't have that now! I mean, going back to the original concept of BB? And having to put ordinary people in the house? And...and...*gasp*...no actor wannabes? faintthud

Excuse me Xarph? You do know how many HG have had allergies, and asthma and even thyroid allments. And lets not forget the shellfish allergy (the second deadliest food allergy)

And you can have peanut butter/peanuts in the house. your dealing with adults not kids and trust me those of us allegic to peanuts know it and know to stay away. I have a house full of peanut butter lovers, my hubby the biggest of the bunch and he just knows not to kiss me right after eating and that they have to rinse/wash off utensiles they use (it causes my skin to ich as well)

It would not be a big deal to accomodate someone with a peanut allergy.

Kalekona,

My allergy is not just to peanuts, but to all nuts. Like you, I've learned to stay away from them, but there are occasional accidents.

Kalekona

Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:36 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
the point is they've already had people in the house with food allergies-

Xarph

Who? What?

Kalekona

Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:38 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Oh weinermr don't i know that..that's what epi pens are for... (my allergy too is all nuts but peanuts are the worse and the most deadly, other nuts cause lessor symptoms.)
