Whit4you | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:35 am     Hmmm doesn't sound like the injury was as serious as Erika made it out to be - Ali appears just fine now doesn't even be appearing to favor one hand or the other. Funny how they always give them enough time limit to WIN the comps when there is a sponser involved, don't recall them ever losing one that had a sponser involved do you? |
Spunky | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:35 am     A Subway.. . yuk... How cheap can they get!! |
Cinder | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:38 am     But I have been craving Subway for months now- and now I will be forced to go get it. No - they would NEVER lose one that was sponsered. Just like I do not think they will ever lose the hot tub competition. This year the amount of stuff they had to get was at the minimum line- and they still won (notice the answer had to be uncovered) |
Kaili | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:41 am     Mmmm...I had Subway for lunch yesterday. They are soo much better now that they have all the new breads and sauces and more than just the flavorless white cheese. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:43 am     They get it for 3 days- when did the "weekend" gain a day because I need to let work know! |
Cinder | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:43 am     Jee even said it. "I think this was one of those competitions that was meant for us to achieve it" TABLE IS SMALLER |
Wendo | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:43 am     Feeds back up and they came in the house...and they've shrunk the table for the first time. I thought it would happen today. They're all saying, wow, it's so small...weird. |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 11:53 am     I KNEW the table was going to be switched - I called it last night! As far as the sponsored food comps, when they were showing the first BK meal on tv two friday's ago, both my bf & I looked at each other and were CRAVING BK, which we rarely eat! |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:01 pm     Yes, me too. I really wanted those onion rings. Nobody makes onion rings like Burger King! Who is the sponsor of this special meal? |
Kaili | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:07 pm     Subway bakes your Ssbs up fresh and it's your way, Subway! Maybe Jerrod will be the guest appearance this year.  |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:23 pm     Ugh. Didn't they get Subway last year? The "special" weekend meal is Subway? blech. Maybe it's me, but I just can't get into that whole "sandwiches for dinner" concept. Now Pizza Hut or KFC, that would have been a better one. Lots of choices even for those that don't like the primary product. Salads, mashed potatoes, parfaits, etc. Much more appealing to me. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:26 pm     I was thinking it might be pizza when Justin said it was a really good bonus meal. If I was in there, that's what I would be wanting. They have bread and stuff- they can make their own sandwiches. But I do like Subway (it's just that I like Blimpies a bit more). |
Hobbs | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:37 pm     Fast food is NOT special. I'd want Outback Steakhouse. That would be special. MMMMM. Shrimp on the barbie. Walkabout soup. MMMMMM. Bloomin onion! |
Costacat | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 04:14 pm     To be honest, I'd rather have a made-to-order sandwich from Subway than a Pizza Hut or KFC meal. At least with Subway you get fresh veggies, and you can get a lowfat veggie sandwich that actually tastes good. Pizza Hut's veggie pizza is still greasy. And I can't remember the last time I ate at KFC (back in the days when it was Kentucky Fried Chicken, and I'm sure it was well over 10 years ago). There's a lot of variety at Subway now, with the new breads and sauces, too. Although I don't know how "hot and fresh" they could be unless they've got a Subway on the CBS lot... they'd be a tad bit soggy by the time they were delivered to the HGs. And Crazydog, is the Subway meal for dinner? I assumed it was a lunch win. |
Konamouse | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 09:39 pm     During the BK week, the HG were constantly commenting that they would rather have Subway. Well, they got their wish. 'squeek' |
Seamonkey | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:04 pm     Subway would be ok, but too bad they didn't get TOGO's.. not sure if that is nationwide, tho.. just better food.. |
Zachsmom | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:12 pm     Oh goodness Seamonkey..now I am craving a Hot Pastrami from TOGO's! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 11:47 pm     TOGO's is great!!! |
Wendo | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 11:58 pm     We have TOGO's here in Chicago! I like it a lot. Plus, it shares space with Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins. Meet all your fast food needs!!! LOL! |
Willsfan | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 12:54 am     Never heard of TOGOs what does it serve? Is it like a Subway? |
Costacat | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 06:26 am     Yeah, Togo's is like a Subway. There's also SubMarina, Blimpy's, Quiznos. They are all sandwich shops with a "catch" (like Quiznos warms their sandwiches as they go thru a conveyor belt from the person who made it to the person who bags it). In my opinion, they are all interchangeable (although, for years, Subway only had white American cheese available so I would pick SubMarina where I could get real cheddar and good avocado). |
Kaili | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 07:21 am     I love Blimpies- Quiznos is okay- We also have Cousin's, which is good but not enough toppings. I love Subway now- the cheese herb bread and the honey oat are the best, I love provalone (but they should get swiss too) and southwest sauce. My only problem is that only about a third of the Subways I go to have veggie patties- Blimpies has 3 varieties of veggie patties. Yum! |
Bonnyswan | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 07:25 am     can I ask what a "veggie pattie" is? |
Kaili | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 07:33 am     Why of course! It's a soy patty- they ones at Subway have mushrooms, shreds of carrot, and other stuff in them. You can buy ones that taste just like them at the grocery store, but there are a lot of different flavors. The Subway one (and the Blimpies original one) are like roasted veggie patties- just veggies and soy mushed into a patty and heated. It's the only hot sub I can eat at Subway. Blimpies also has one that's called the MexiMax, which is a soy patty with black beans and mexican seasonings, and the ChickiMax, which is a soy, fake-meat chicken patty (I like the grocery store ones better- they have parmesan ranch flavored ones). I know, I'm gross. I hear it ALL the time |
Bonnyswan | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 07:38 am     ooooh ok...so it's like a soyburger. Not gross at all Kaili...I love the mushroom ones.. |
Mpls | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 09:01 am     Remember the McLean? |
Kaili | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 09:16 am     Nope. Was it a veggie patty? I know (or have heard- I've yet to see it for myself) that some Burger Kings are selling veggie burgers. I wish more would- I get weird looks when I order a cheeseburger without the burger. |
