In all the time I've been watching the feeds, and I've been watching em alot, I have never heard anyone comment on Robert's constant nose-picking. He does it right in front of people when they're talking to him, and you know if Nate was doing it that would be all they talk about.

Good point...and no I haven't heard a single HG comment on it. Maybe cuz they are all so self-absorbed they actually haven't noticed? j/k

Dana just said "Stop picking it" but I think Justing was picking a scab or something. Maybe Robert will take it as a hint.

It is amazing that nobody's mentioned his habit, either to him directly or to each other. It's not like he's discreet about it either. Hard to know if they don't mind (unlikely) or don't notice???

Maybe their are wary since Lori got booted over the handwashing incident. or they are waiting to use it as an excuse for nominating him.
I'm surprised Dana or Jun say anything since they act outraged over the HG's not cleaning.

I just saw Robert do a combo move scratch his nose, then his armpit, then his crotch, then stick his index finger straight up his nostril! And this is while he's talking to Justin, Dana, and Jee.

Boy do we know how to blow something so far out of purportion it's funny.
They aren't saying anything because they are not seeing what you are. Anytime his hand goes near his face you people swear his fingers up his nose. Most of the time his just rubbing an ichy nose.
Allergies will cause you to do that, simply because you freking nose iches.
give it a break it's starting to sound like an elementary school in here. "heheheh robert picked his nose, looky robert is picking his nose"
and i'm hearing how childish Dana is. Good grief.

Man, I been avoid'n this whole topic like the plague, but, like in all issues of monumental human events, I just gotta finally say something.

Credit to Kale who slightly beat me to it.

If you have never known the joy of having a nose that feels like beavers are setting up a dam in it, while red ants are crawling around inside it, and a 150 degree hot desert breeze is blowing up it and drying out everything the beavers and ants are building up....Well you just haven't lived a full life. :)

And if you have had this for your entire life, ya know, there just isn't a tissue or paper towel or freakin' roll of butcher paper in the world, that is handy every second of every day. So ya use what God gave ya to try to relieve some of the pressure and itching.

It's sure not pretty, but it's functional. If anyone has any suggestions, and Claritin et all does not help this problem BTW, I'd love to hear it.

All blessings upon all of you with lovely clear sinuses.

I'm sure not a Robert fan, but I am a serious allergy sufferer, and I am constantly seeking relief from nasal discomfort by rubbing, scratching, and whatever else I can do to make the discomfort less. And, probably like Rob, am unaware of it most of the time.

And I still say: "Ewwwww, Ewwwww, Ewwwww," to this subject.

He still should use some kleenex or something, and he should asked to see a doctor ASAP for his nose problem. It's really bad how much he digs in his nose. I have never seen Robert on live feeds without having to watch him digging and it isn't a pretty sight. Double ewwwwwwww !!

<killing myself laughing>!!!

YES Robert has bad allergies. YES he is constantly picking rubbing his nose. AND YES it is truly horrible to watch, however I agree with Sunrvrose Robert probably isnt even aware he is doing it. It is all automatic.

Ok, getting down to the real nitty gritty, misslibra, using tissue only makes it worse. It is a dry scratchy thing, to try to remove something that is so dry and itchy......Yuckers, this is just a horrible thing to talk about.

And double, tripple EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, but Until you have walked a mile in another man's moccisins, ya just don't know.

Well then I shall pray that someone in the house brings it to his attention. Where is Dani when you need her. I bet she would have told him by now. LOL :)

Ummmm... I walk a mile in his shoes everyday I have terrible allergies to and my nose gives me the blues, some days worst then others. And I use a whole lot of kleenex and always keeps some on me. There is also some very good medicine out there to treat allergies he should see the house doctor. Because I'm afraid by the time Robert leaves the house he wont have much nose left. :)

Ok, let's say ya got a bug bite. And someone in the house tells you not to scratch it. So, you say Ok, that's reasonable, I probably shouldn't scratch it. Then, the darn thing starts itchin' and the next thing you know you are scratchin'.

It's the same kind of unconscious thing.

Someone could toss a bottle of nasal saline drops over the wall for poor Robert. They make the nose less sensitive to scratchy tissues. And while at it, toss over a box of name-brand tissues like Kleenex with the lotion added.

Poor old Gerry was vilified for not washing his hands by his fellow hamsters. Robert should have been in the BB house last year! That would have been a riot!!

Lori would have pointed it out by now, too!

Ah, (now turning this into the allergy site) but one has to have the wet kinda allergies to allow kleenex, even the ones with lotion or aloe, to work. Some ppl have the very uncomfortable dry kind. Like your nose NEVER is runny, it is just dry and uncomfortable. No allergy meds work for that. And, sprays can only be used 1-2x daily, and are symptomatically addictive.

So HA!!! got you on that one. EWWWW EWWWW EWWWW, I am the nasal manipulation expert. Ta Da, do I win the ickiest post of the day award????

OK Sun :) I know people picked their nose but honestly I have never seen it this bad before.

Yea Lori and Dani would have called Robert on it by now and would have probably told him to see the house doctor by now. Jack did tell him one day he needed some claritin or something trying to give him a hint. See Robert don't have to suffer like this no escuse to many good meds out their he can take for it.

Well you have a point he must have the dry type of allery. I have the wet type. I know Ewwwwwwwwwww!! :)

Wait a second, is there a dry type of allergy nasal manipulation expert or did you just pull the heck out of my leg ? lol

Sunrvrose

Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 02:14 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I swear, I didn't touch your leg at all.

I'm thinkin' that dry allergy nasal manipulation would be called, in layman's terms, nose pickin'.
