Jun and "Bob"
TV ClubHouse: ARCHIVES: Big Brother USA 2003 General Discussions Part 1:
Jun and "Bob"
Crazydog | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:12 am     Apparently the earlier thread got closed and archived.... So Jun says that she and Bob broke up in March. Yet they were still doing things together after the breakup. He was there just before she left to enter the BB house. She told Julie that he was the one she most missed, and then last night she tearfully told America that she wanted to hear from him to see if everything is OK. So I guess they had broken up, but they were still on friendly terms. And her time in the house is supposed to make him know that he now wants to get back together? I was a little surprised to hear her say that they had broken up months ago, because the way she talked to Julie made it sound like they were very much in love. |
Seanflynn2003 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:46 am     I have wondered why Jun, who as a financial analyst may have a good paying career, would go on BB3. It might be that her and Bob's career tracks are different, he might have moved to another city, which caused the break up. Or their might be a major income difference between the two (which can affect a relationship). Perhaps she figured the show was a way to gain a degree of financial security and independence, the ability to relocate or take some time off. It is not uncommon these days for professionals in relationships to break up because of practicalities rather than nasty disputes; it happens all the time. This might be one case. |
Augiedoggie | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:11 pm     Jun is becoming my favorite. It's odd. The more weight she's put on, the more I like her personality. Even with the weight problem which is -as she admitted- a result of her oral fixation, I find her beautiful. She's spontaneous and she's voracious. & she's extremely manipulative but with a very light touch. Bob is a very lucky man -but he'd best keep on his toes. I get the distinct feeling that Jun is no man's woman. She is concerned only with her own well being, yet I like that about her. |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:15 pm     I don't mean to sound cynical, but it wouldn't surprise me if Bob was married. Jun seems like the type who wouldn't care if a guy was married or not but would be smart enough to keep her mouth shut about the whole situation. |
Daisy | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:23 pm     I think I hated June the most when the show first began, but now I think she's great. I'm sure the bit about "Bob" was put on so she would get America's sympathy since no one in the house will give it to her. She has been very honest in her opinions and also calculating in her actions. I hope she wins it all. |
Mystery | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:34 pm     Having "Bob" in quotes makes me think that he's not real. Have we seen any proof that there's an actual Bob? |
Angelsluv | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:48 pm     Mystery, This "Bob" not real - In my area, if any women get together and start talking, one is bound to ask another, "How's Bob?" (aka: Battery Operated Boyfriend) *LOL* |
Needavacation | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:50 pm     I can not believe that anyone would think that Jun has put on enough weight to make her "beautiful" status need defending. I am sorry but she is far from having a weight issue. The average american woman is what a size 18? give me a break! I am not meaning to be rude here, but her waist line has nothing to do with the way she is playing this game, or for that matter her as an individual. We complain about the standards set by society and what young girls go through to meet those standards then we feed into it! Augiedoggie, I do agree with everything else you said, but just don't understand what her weight has to do with it. I know she lost a significant amount of weight in the past, but it should not be an issue with us. |
Mustang7 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 01:10 pm     Angelsluv : How's Bob?" (aka: Battery Operated Boyfriend) rofl, Thanks, I needed that good laugh. That should go into the all time classic board quotes |
Angelsluv | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 01:16 pm     *LOL* Thankys Mustang! I couldn't resist mentioning it |
Angelsluv | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:02 pm     I did not suggest her Bob was a toy.. The coment reminded me of the joke done in my area.. <mk> |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:03 pm     I guess the only way we will know if "Bob" is a real person or not is if BB tracks him down and interviews him when Jun is nominated or is HoH. I remember the shock last year when I discovered that "Mewwitt" actually existed, and that she wasn't just some actress hired to play her. |
Cameltoes | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:07 pm     Jun was telling Nate that the situation with her and Bob was that he wasn't ready for the long term commitment that she was ready for and thus the breakup. The feelings between the two are apparently still very strong but I guess they aren't on the same page in terms of what they want from a relationship right now. |
Moderator | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:14 pm     Please folks, when a post has been removed by moderators, we'd appreciate it if you'd stop talking about it too. Thanks very much. (K) |
Xarph | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:18 pm     One night, early in the live feeds, there was a major discussion among the girls about artificial pleasure giving apparatuses. One of the girls did not use these machines. Other used them to various degrees. Jun was the winner with the most machines and frequency of usage. I believe Jun actually mentioned the acronym unvailed by Angelsuv. It was one of them. Maybe Erika? |
Widowswalk | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:19 pm     I'm torn about Jun. I don't love or hate her like some others in the house. I'm kind of in the middle. I would prefer Jack/Erika to win but I would not be really mad if Jun won. She is a mystery to me. The name"Bob" sounded a little fake to me, like he might indeed be married. Her weight gain is unfortunate but she could still be attractive with the right size clothing. She has worked hard in the house, doing all the cooking, I'll give her that. All I can say is she is a mystery. |
Augiedoggie | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:20 pm     I don't consider Jun a "fat-body", to quote the great R. Lee Ermey aka Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in FULL METAL JACKET, but there's been a definite weight gain. Possibly the most extreme example of weight-gain yet seen by a guest on the entire previous seasons' run of Big Brother. I believe Amy held the previous record for weight gained while in the house. I think Jun crash-dieted before the show began and all of this sitting around and her only exercise consisting of doing leg lifts with Ali has made the weight gain obvious. By the way- CBS has certainly enhanced the "illusion" that Jun's gotten much fatter by focusing on the rapidly disappearing areas once covered by her bikini. The day I found her to be absolutely and unquestionably beautiful was the televised episode when she retreated to her bed and cried on her birthday from being homesick. I've rarely seen a woman shedding tears who has looked as beautiful as Jun. By the way- I think the person with the most serious weight problem on BB4 is Erika. Anorexia is a terrible waste of femininity. |
Cricket | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 06:01 pm     Jun said she came on the show because she 'craves attention' and she also mentioned something about she might not have a job to go back to. I guess she is secure enough to think she might be able to find another job. When she was describing it (working in a bank) I don't think she sounded as if it was her dream job. She has talked about this Bob; said she went Irish-Catholic and Jee went Latin. It would be interesting to see if he would write her should she win America's Choice. It's still hard for me to fathom her being a prior Sunday School teacher. She sounds as if she enjoyed it too, but it just doesn't seem her personality. |
Texasdeb | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 06:05 pm     I once had a friend who had a battery operated boyfriend. His name was "Big Bob". |
Tabbyking | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 06:17 pm     i don't dislike her any more than i dislike most of the houseguests, but she does run and start trouble ALL THE TIME! she used to blame michelle for things Jun started or lies Jun told. the second someone tells her something, she has to run and blab it to one group or another. she is an evil little wench, but that is also how this game is played... i had to laugh, though, when i was at my mom's last week. a bunch of us siblings crowded onto her bed and were watching big brother. my mom walked in and went on and on about "how can you kids (we are all in our 40's and 50's!) watch this garbage..." yada yada, and then all of a sudden, my mom blurts out on one of her trips through the room, "i can't stand alison." yeah, okay, mom. so much for not watching......LOL i would never say anything about someone's weight, but i would 'suggest' that Jun's outfits are not at all flattering for her body shape. i think a nice one-piece would be more 'fitting', but that's just my opinion. having not watched this show nearly as much as earlier BB's, i cannot recall when Jun started talking about bob, but i thought she did have a current boyfriend coming into this show. |
Redhalo | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 06:31 pm     Jun should cover up more of her bad areas but they weren't as bad when she came into the house so she brought smaller clothes....her clothes can't grow with her so for now....she has to deal with what she has. She is far from obese like some people make it out to be. Someone said above that the average woman is a 16/18...she ain't there yet. I have always liked Jun. I think she is beautiful when she laughs and she tells it like it is. She knows she is sneaky and admits it.....maybe only in the DR but she does. I don't think she actually deserves to win......but I like her just the same. |
Crazydog | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 06:59 am     The average woman in America is size 16 or 18? I don't believe that, I had thought I read somewhere that it was around a 12. Also, it would be interesting to see what the average size is for a woman of Jun's age who has not had children. I don't think Jun is fat, but she has definitely gained weight since entering the house. I agree that she wears things that do not flatter her body. But good for her for not caring. |
Demeter | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:27 am     Jun does not seem heavy to me, but, certainly does not dress to flatter her body. I thought it was hilarious when she was talking about Erika having no fashion sense (which may be true, but talk about the kettle!). Even last night when they wore the beach wraps, Jun chose to wear hers tiny to where it barely covered her and Erika chose to keep hers long and looked charming. |
Needmylifeback | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:47 am     Wasn't BOB the guy behind the cameras in BB1????....It might be easy to get a letter from him! (I voted for Jack....couldn't bring myself to vote for Robert.) |
Drewpdrawers | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:56 am     For one, Erica was given a long sarong by BB, and Ali and Jun were given short sarongs. Jun cracks me up, and did you notice the change in Robert's attitude towards her after the food competition? he kept saying 'you did so great Jun" "great job Jun" I for one do not think BOB is real. I think its something Jun made up...as BB does extensive background on them and Julie Chen said she'd never heard of Bob. Perhaps if Jun has a boyfriend its easier for Jee to allow her in the J3 group, thinking Carmen wont feel threatened if Jun has a bf. Jun is by no means fat, like she says, she represents REAL women in the house, and if you ask me the person who has gained the most weight in the house its Alison. I was noticing last night. She seems to have added a few.In a house that gets that boring, dont see how you couldnt gain weight. |
Kaili | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 08:01 am     Now what is this about Erika and anorexia? I don't believe that- I think she's a thin person- but I see her eat a normal amount. If she wan't eating, people in the house would have noticed and probably commented to each other. Then we would have instantly had a thread started when it was mentioned by a houseguest. That must not have happened. She may not gorge herself, which isn't healthy to do anyway. The purpose of food is to keep you alive and give you energy. Just because one may not eat extra just to eat doesn't make them anorexic. Jun has gained weight. She and Amy both have the roundish body types and look, to me, like they could easily gain weight. I know I would gain weight in the house because (despite what I said in the last paragraph about the purpose of food) I'm all about flavors and munching and I have a big appetite. But in the house there isn't a lot to do but munch. I know I would eat out of boredom and I'm not into exercising just to exercise. I don't like it. I get my exercise by doing stuff outside- biking, hiking, whatever- all things that they can't really do in the house and things that are exercise without the appearance of exercise. I hate aerobics and exercise machines (except ellipticals- those are kinds fun). |
Needavacation | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 08:51 am     Erika is not anorexic, she has a dancers body. I think Jun is very cute, and her personality makes her even more attractive and engaging. It is nice to see a woman, who may not be a perfect body type secure with herself. Life is way to short to worry about what other people think. People are too harsh in their judgements when it comes to weight, and they always will be, so it is refreshing to see a woman not hung up on gaining a few pounds. Remember the mental anguish Autumn went through when Shannon told her to go eat a bag of chips? I like Jun more and more and hope she makes it to the final three..(with out Jee) (woo hoo my power is back on!) |
Crazydog | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 09:41 am     That thing with Autumn and the potato chips was ridiculous. Didn't she say something about how Shannon sent her to therapy for months? Whatever. I think in the future they should make sure that houseguests are not so thin-skinned. If you are going to be on TV you have to expect that people will criticize you. Imagine if Autumn had had to do the naked laundry competition. Good for Jun for not caring about what people think of her body. If I were her in that cage I would have just peed. And I would have done my best to accidentally pee on Alison and send her out of the cage. In fact I think I probably would have tried to fart everyone out. I like Jun as well now and I'd like to see her in the final three with Erika and Jack. Then she does a Lisa and wins the last HoH and takes Erika with her. |
Squaredsc | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 09:43 am     ok ewww, lol. |
Volgirl | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:30 am     I wonder why the houseguests didn't pick up on the fact that Julie said that was the first time she had heard about Bob.... |
Seanflynn2003 | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:35 am     Jun I believe specifically said she wanted a letter from Bob. She would create a false person so she would be embarassed if she won? Doesn't sound too likely. |
Beruthiel | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:04 pm     I liked Jun's sardonic sense of humour at the beginning, but then I came to dislike her when she was seemingly 'full of herself' as we say where I come from. And then her manipulations and stirring up of trouble bothered me, but at this stage, I'm back to liking her again, because I do feel that her self-satisfied comments are just examples of her sense of humour, she laughs at herself, and it cannot be denied that she's downright smart, which she's shown over and over in how she has managed to affect so much in the house so far. Her weight doesn't bother me in the least. If she was wearing everyday clothes, in which most of us are usually seen, rather than the brief clothing they all wear in the house, she would look simply rounded and feminine, and there are times when she looks really beautiful. I wouldn't mind if she got far in the game, because she's gotten where she is more because of her brains than because of sexual wiles, like Alison. She hit the nail right on the head when she said that Alison set the womens' movement back 50 years! As for Bob, she definitely showed some emotion when she wanted to hear from him, so I'm inclined to believe that he's real, and since we know absolutely nothing about him, anything we say is only speculation based on the snippets picked up from the odd reference. If she loves him, I hope she gets her man in the end! |
Volgirl | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 09:51 am     It is too bad that Jun didn't make a strong alliance with Erika and Jack. She is very intelligent and picks up on things just the way Jack does. I guess she wasn't intelligent enough to realize that Jack's hand on her shoulder wasn't a sly-fox jesture. |
