The HG just had their lux comp. The prize is laundrey service for a week. The HG are so mad, they think it is so stupid. They wanted something better/

The HG think they deserved a better luxury because they had to degrade and humiliate themselves to get laundry service that they claim ruined their clothes on previous occasions.

Can't say I blame them.

Well heck, they could have won a blue ribbon or a plaque for winning. Maybe a raise in salary?

My mom taught me to say thank you when someone gave me something!

Thats all I'll say about that.

Being stuck in the house away from everything, I think they deserve a movie, music, books something that they now considered a luxery.

How can one say that this cast deserves anything other than a swift kick in the butt? Who would you like to see get some nice reward?

Jun - No
Ali - No
Robert - No
Jee - No
Justin - No
Nate - No
Erica - Maybe
Jack - Yes

Since Jack and Erika never win anything the luxury competition rewards need to be an banal and trite as potential winner.

Everyone is complaining about this show being boring now? Ha ha what is more boring than laundry? Just more proof someone on staff needs to think about putting a shot of excitment into this show.

Maybe they haven't been told yet it is soap for their mouths

Maybe the laundry service is to wash their mouths out?

I have to say it is a really lame "prize".

I heard Erika say to Ali that probably "they" (live feeds? camerapeople?) like to see Erika and Ali walk round and round the yard, so wouldn't want them to have a treadmill..

yeah, right.

I agree Bigfan.. even if they don't really like the luxury they need to a least pretend to be grateful for it. A thank you is always the response a person should give when given something.. always.

On the other hand though.. I can see their frustration at having to strip down in front of America like that. I don't think I would appreciate having to get completely naked like that. I know Erika especially has been careful all along to keep covered up.. as we all know, the nude pics do tend to make the rounds on the internet.

I think a good luxury would be a perma-shirt on Jack. Him walking around shirtless is keeping me thin.

The whole point of this was to justify some lame "nudity" for the TV show (yeah, won't it look enticing in the promos) by having some suds, and suds relate to laundry, therefore making this look less cheesy.
I think Rob's lack of self-respect is rubbing off on the BB producers.

I don't know why you feel that way Tishala...I think he has a nice body.....and it's amazing at his age...he has worked hard to accomplish that. Maybe it's because I am around his age I feel that way...but I just feel that was uncalled for :(

What I don't quite get is the constant state of entitlement in which these houseguests walk. They seem to think they deserve, or are owed, more than they are getting. And biting the hand that feeds them, so to speak, is a childish and selfish thing to do. So what if it's not a treadmill or a color TV. A prize is a prize, and there should just be some satisfaction in having won.

Angel, you are of course welcome to your opinion, which apparently differs from mine. I maintain mine, however and I think it is fair to say especially in light of his comment re: Dana.

Let me just say (living in southern California, where most "anything" goes)... there are some men who should NEVER walk around shirtless!!!

(And why oh why oh my poor eyes is it always THOSE men who do????)

I sounds like the luxury competition was set up to satisfy the perversions of the Producer (him).

They are talking about seeing each other exposed butts, breasts and male "who-hoos."

Maybe there is a master plan here to annoy them enough so that if an offer to take money to leave comes up someone will be more willing to take it.

I wonder how come they didn't get a washer ? Jack has a hot body for his age. :)

I would find it a luxury for someone to take my clothes and wash them for a week! I would be jumping up and down thanking BB! I HATE laundry!

With the amount of dirty clothes in the house; there always look like a pile growing in the corner of the bedrooms, maybe BB felt it was a way to get their laundry done.

I agree with Sea - Luandry is a lame luxary prize. The point of the word luxary is something NICE to be given to the HGs. If you call it something else - (I don't know, a convience comp) - then maybe it would be ok. I think a cardio, low-impact machine would have been a very good idea.

I also agree with the women that the men are hooked up with pretty decent facilities to work out - bb court and weights. While the women don't have much. Yes, some women play b-ball and lift, but not many. Jumping rope is hard on your joints.

Where I work out participation breaks down:
-The pick-up b-ball courts are less than 1% women
-The weight room, is probably about 5-20% women depending on the time of day.
-The cardio machines are about 70-80% women.

Anyway - I think it's not terribly fair how they favor the guys in this area.

Tishala, Jack is cool with or without a shirt in my opinion, and even more so because of his observations.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness and if you only have a Bible to read it makes perfect sense to me..lol
