Whit he was told he can have the ritual but he is not allowed to eat anything. That is what the HGs were mad about.

Jee also said he was glad they were showing it-then he family could see it...

For those mentioning they would be making an exception for Jee, they already have made an exception for religious beliefs by allowing a Bible

They also aren't denying him a ceremony..they are just not allowing him to eat.

I meant they made an exception for participating in one's religion
food in ceremony for me is equivalent of allowing a Bible

Food is an option in these types of ceremonies. The more food you have, the more you are showing respect. It's not a necessary element of his "faith" (and, in fact, this appears to be more of a Korean tradition than a Buddhist one). I don't think they've made an exception at all.

I actually thing BB stuck a good medium here by allowing the ceremony, but not necessarily the eating...it's the INTENT that matters.

I think he's preparing in the picture above.

I agree with Costacat, I don't have a problem with BB not allowing food. He's able to perform the ritual and it is the honoring of his father that is important.

If Jee felt it was important to perform this ritual with food, then perhaps he shouldn't be on BB. And, as has been noted, Jee seems ok with it.

Jee's my least fav houseguest, but I'm glad BB allowed his needs in this, and tonight he's reminding me of myself and how I handle things.

Here' a photo of him preparing..

Some pictures... (I removed my trademark image from these out of respect to his family)...

If this is the traditional Korean ceremony, called kijesa I believe, partaking of a small sip of drink IS an integral part of honoring the deceased. Also, this form is done yearly, not just 3 years. Just to clarify that although this has its roots in Buddhism, like other posters mentioned, there are many variations.

I think Jee having one sip of the beverage would not be in more violation than the accidental consumption of hard candy by Dana or the cookie by Robert. Just my opinion.

He layed this all out very carefully. He arranged the fruit and rearranged until it was perfect.
