Needmylifeback | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:16 am     One PB&J has aproximately 400 calories and 7grams of protein....ONE sandwich per meal and you have 1,200 calories, just add another two throughout the day and you have over the reccommended number of calories for a normal person?....These people are not starving unless they want to be starving. (By the way - I decided to try this PB&J only for as long as I can take it...or a week, whichever comes first...I'm going to see if my energy goes down and my weight! - I started today so it's Day 1) |
Jagger | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:16 am     I agree these players are always saying they are playing this game for strategy purposes. Not taking the deal for HOH will cause either Jack or Erika a chance to win $500,000, that was not smart strategy on their part. Jee was playing the game when he took the deal, I don't think it will make much of a difference next week with the nominations, he pretty much was already going to be nominated if Robert didn't win the next HOH. He is one of the stronger players and most everyone wants to get rid of the strong players or someone not in their alliance. |
Flamingo | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:24 am     taking the offer pretty much guarantees that Jee will be voted out next week. If by some miracle he makes it to the final 2, there is no way the jury (4 of whom are in the house this week)will vote for him. I do not see how that is at all smart or strategic. |
Dke1212 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:25 am     They weren't thinking! Of course it's about control, not sure where the greed comes in. Jee wanted his nominations to stick (still may not get the person he wants out, out) but the nominations stayed the same. They say they are weak etc., if they would eat the food provided they wouldn't be weak, or hungry. From what I read on this board Erika didn't even eat the breakfast from McDonalds, a few bites and threw the rest away. Like JIMMER said do you realize how many people would love to have a jar of peanut butter in front of them? These people don't know what being hungry is! |
Beruthiel | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:32 am     Funnily enough, not EVERYONE likes McDonald's! If it isn't fresh and hot, but old and cold - which it very well might be after it's been purchased and then passed through many hands and some unknown distance to get to the storage room - then it tastes just like cold grease, and, who wants that first thing in the morning? Blecch! |
Dke1212 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:35 am     True, but I guess if I was "starving" I would eat it either way, and they do have a microwave. |
Brenda1966 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:40 am     I don't fault Jee at all for taking the veto. Now, if he was saying he wouldn't eat real food and then does, that's another story. Erika and Jack were playing cowardly when they let the veto slip away. The finish line is near and they were too afraid to reach for it. One of them will go home now. Saying they're going to kick out Jee for the PBJ is just their excuse for getting rid of him. No one wanted to go against him in the finals and they would have booted him soon anyway. Now they just have a visible "reason". |
Floridagirl1010 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:43 am     Erika is a vegetarian...what can she eat from McDonalds but a biscuit? At least she ate something...if it were me I'd dump it over Jee's head! lol! |
Dke1212 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 09:56 am     I thought she was a vegetarian too, but then they said she ate a little sausage, they were surprised. Anyway if she didn't want it she should have let someone who did, eat instead, isn't that what their mad at Jee about? Or stuck with the lunch , she could have gotten a salad and chicken sandwich, that's what she got from burger king. Jack originally said he wanted the breakfast, don't know why it changed. |
Kappy | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:06 am     I don't see it as a matter of "starving". I see it as a diet completely lacking fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. So no, they won't starve but it definitely would be unpleasant if this is was your 2nd or 3rd week of only pb&j. As someone who lives on fruits & vegs, I could handle it for a week just fine. But come the 2nd or 3rd week and I'm sorry but I would be beyond grouchy, lol! As for Jee's greed ~ I don't see it as monetary greed but rather a greed of the ego ~ and a need to win as many comps as possible. Which will end up being his downfall. I don't think he took it as game strategy. I think he took it out of stupidity and only when seeing the reaction of others, did he do some quick back-tracking and attempt to make it out like it had to be done. A HOH taking the veto is stupid. At this point, there are still easily 3 people he could have wanted out. It wasn't a do or die situation of absolutely having to get rid of Erika or Jack. I just don't see that. Yes, Erika or Jack should have taken it. But that doesn't take away from Jee's stupidity of taking it. I also don't think Jun would nominate him this next week so he's safe if either Robert or Jun get HOH. IMHO, :0) |
Whit4you | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:15 am     None of them have had to go 2 or 3 weeks straight on PB&J the last week they got food all but two days, the week before Subway + regular food etc. A few have had more then one week on PB&J but not 'in a row' they had plenty of regular food in the weeks between. Besides the fact they aren't really on just PB&J they get mayo, mustard, ketcup and so on.... oh and jelly is made from fruit..  |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:21 am     Kappy, I believe Jun would nominate, then hope for at least a 1-1 tie, which she would break to evict Robert. |
Seanflynn2003 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:21 am     sorry, meant to see she would nominate Jee |
Csnog | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:25 am     Erika had to order breakfast from McD's and BB got them up early. She went right from bed to eating and only had 30 minutes to finish. It may have been cold. I know that I need a little time between getting up and eating. |
Floridagirl1010 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:27 am     Wasn't it up to Jee who ate what and when? I don't think she had a choice for the meal? Sorry if I'm mistaken |
Csnog | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:34 am     When Jee won the McD's he decided who would eat on each day. Erika was assigned breakfast. |
Beruthiel | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:34 am     I can swear and affirm that McDonald's food cannot be microwaved and still be edible. If it's not eaten asap in my family, it goes into the bin, nobody will eat it after it's allowed to get cold. Microwaved Fries turn to hard little sticks, chicken goes rubbery, and hamburgers turn into leather. Like I said above - Blecchh! |
Pbnj | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:35 am     Jee lost my respect when he took the veto. The move just did not make sense to me. Robert was safe since Jee makes the noms IF the veto is used, so what if he has to put up Ali....she's not there for him. Doesn't he realize that yet? I think he would have had a shot at winning if he hadn't pulled this *skeletal reference* + 'r' (self-modded) re: Mickey D breakfast....clue me in....how can they be eating that? they're on a pbnj diet, right? did I miss a qualifier? they can have the sponsor 'prod placement' items because AS needs to show the hg's lapping up Macdonalds?? sheesh....it's cheesy when commercials become part of the show. Survivor is becoming disgusting with the obvious product placement yet I still watch. "oh bother" |
Pengoh | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:42 am     Just to clarify, Jee gave everyone a choice, and Erika chose breakfast. Jack had originally wanted it but Erika said she wanted it and Jack said no problem I will take lunch. This happened as soon as they all came in from the food comp and were standing around the kitchen counter thing. |
Pengoh | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:43 am     pbnj there was another food competition that Jee won five mcd meals and gets to share with one person, he chose a diff person each meal. |
Pbnj | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 10:55 am     ah, I see. thank you pengoh. I really should read the live feed posts! |
Darkhorse19 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 11:14 am     Csnog, you said early on in this thread that this was a test of character that Jee failed... This was not a test of character. It was just to see who was stupid enough to not want the power of veto. Jee did not fail the test of character by opting to make the house eat pbnj for a week. This just shows that Jee wants to win more then Erika... If another of the hg beside Erika or Jee would have taken the POV it would have been pointless. They were the only two that really needed it. By choosing the bribe Jee proved to me that he deserves to win. |
Mzcruella | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 11:21 am     <<Jee keeps telling everyone he is a man of honor. I would love for him to define "honor". >> Me, too. Especially after sitting on the patio telling everyone of the HG, after Robert pointed out that Jee still gets to eat, that he (Jee) was going to refuse to eat food and do the PBJ with the rest of the house. I don't care if he eats in the HoH so as not to torture the others, he has still gone back on his word. |
Marameko | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 11:51 am     Jee has lied, and will pay dearly for that untruth. He gets exactly what he deserves. |
Sweetpea1994 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 12:07 pm     Erika and Jack showed exactly what character is. They had the most to gain from taking the deal and turned it down rather than force the other HG's to eat PB&J for a week. Jee had HOH already and didn't need to take it. If someone else took it and used it, he could have put someone else up and instructed everyone how to vote like he does now. He sold Justin out when he was in the cage also. He has no honor and now his little act is starting to disappear. |
