I agree, Gidget, but I still think that if eating is part of the ceremony, he should be given a waiver.

Sorry Costa. I just thought those who didn't have feeds might want to see, too.

It says something that the nicest moment on BB so far involves silence and thinking of someone other than one's self

I totally agree Sean.

I think if eating and drinking are a vital part of the ceremony, Jee should just do it and not worry about the rules of a game show.

Me too puzzled. You must be referring to someone else's post. Even if they just allowed him to touch the food to his lips. The ceremony seems genuinely important to him. I do not know much about Buddhism or Korean culture but I feel priviledged to be educated tonight. I can't imagine losing a parent at such a young age.

Costacat, Why are the screencaps a problem?

I agree.. even if he has to spend an extra day later on PB&J, big deal. Robert ate a cookie and Dana ate candy and nothing at all happened to them..

I like the screencaps. More, please.:)

Screencaps in discussion threads slow down the loading of the page. For someone on broadband, it's not a big deal. But, if one is on dialup, loading a lot of images would take a great deal of time.

Because we had five screencaps of the same thing.

And Jee is OK with NOT EATING OR DRINKING. He already said so. The important thing is the ceremony itself, that honors his father.

If it were so important that he participate in this ceremony, he had no business going into the BB house. Knowing that he might be here on the anniversary of his father's death.

I think BB is willing to bend the rules for religious reasons. For example, the only printed matter allowed in the house is a Bible, the Koran, or some such religious book. I'm sure this ceremony counts like that. They won't make him pay for it later.

Costa - if you have a problem with this thread, feel free to find another thread, please. :)


I feel really odd watching him, as I posted elsewhere I just lost one of the most important people to me recently. I can't imagine having to share my personal thoughts and feelings and hurt with thousands watching as we are. Had he asked for a few moments of privacy though, I'd have truely respected it. He didn't perhaps he didn't think he had the right I dunno.


I have alot of mixed emotions watching him though, bringing back my own loss, and also making me envy him that at least he does HAVE a dad to grieve... so many thoughts, but my most prevaling one is that um... contract or no.. bb or no... this is an incredible invasion of something that should probably be private and yet I still watch... (mostly trying not to "feel"... just watching, sorta suprised that even if he didn't ask, that BB wouldn't give him this time in private, since 99% of the time we don't see a given houseguest...)

sigh... but I am glad he has this time, I hope they allowed his needs enough to satisfy him. (that I'm still unclear on... to me it'd be about the thoughts not a bite of this or a drink of that but that's just me)

Does the ceremony have specific types of food he can offer? If not he could have offered something he could eat and include that in the cermony. I do agree that BB could have stretched the rule for this occasion and allowed him a piece of fruit

they will most likely have this on the show
and have nathan bad mouthing anything thats different then him while the ceremony occurs
and have robert showing his respect for it.

This is so moving for me. I am also remembering someone I lost, too.

I personally believe he has every right to practice his religous beliefs no matter where he is.

This is definitely going on the show, they're doing too many different camera angles if they don't intend to use it. (Not to sound cyncial)

This *is* really weird to watch. I don't necessarily feel like I'm invading his privacy (hrrm, do I not have a soul? ;)) but at the same time I feel incredible empathy for him. I've also lost someone fairly recently and it's incredibly touching to see such a human side out of this BB that has been so overwhelmingly negative/gameplaying by all participants..
