Nana | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Tonight's show was live right? At the beginning of the show, Julie says "Welcome to day 61". Well...61x24=1464hours. No way she would have been over...even if the ex's entered on the very first hour - that would be 1440hours. What am I missing??? |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:32 pm     hmmmm ........... I am WAY too blonde to try and help you with this one Nana, but it sounds intriguing. |
Draheid | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:34 pm     Nana: The question was, from the time the Exs entered the house until now - we don't know for sure exactly when the Exs entered plus this day wasn't over yet either. Figure 1440 = 60 days x 24 - the answer was 1434 - meaning 59 days 18 hours - since the Exs were brought into the house. Edit to add: Erika's downfall was trying too hard without realizing this day wasn't over yet. |
Nana | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:36 pm     But wasn't tonight a live show - Julie said this was day 61. I'm still missing it. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Well, someone could count BACK 1434 hours from the time of tonight's competition......... I'm fairly certain that they entered the house on Sat. Jul 6th or at least the Sat. after the 4th. |
Bigbrotherfan | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Nana, the Exs didn't come in on day 1. They came in 2 days after the others. |
Grits | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:40 pm     The answer implies the ex's entered at almost midnite on day 1. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:41 pm     BBfan, you're gonna have to MAKE me check the tape aren't you? I'll do it after the food comp. |
Bastable | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:41 pm     Erika still thought that Justin competed in the Steel Cage competition even though he was outgoing HoH that week and didn't even get into the cage. She blew this contest even before the tiebreaker. |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:41 pm     No, the ex's came in on the same day as the originals came in; just several hours later. |
Cameltoes | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:42 pm     She didn't think he competed in the steel cage. She explained that she thought he would consider it the most difficult since he couldn't participate and therefore had no control over his own fate. |
Lyn | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:45 pm     Erika counted today as a 24 hrs instead of only 18 which put her over by 6 hrs. |
Spwisc | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:52 pm     She lost. No, she was NOT cheated!! Robert won, and I, for one, can not wait to see who he puts up and who wins veto. |
Bigbrotherfan | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Thanks for clearing that up. I thought the argument was that the answer should have been 1464 (61x24) and, acc'd to that, Erika wasn't over. However, your math shows that she did calculate after the exes arrived instead of from day 1(She did estimate 1440, right?). |
Nana | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 08:57 pm     Lyn - Erika counted 60 days (Julie said today was day 61) |
Ric_Munoz | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:14 pm     It's more than a bit outrageous that someone who is so clearly lacking in the brains department gets "rewarded" for being so drastically off the correct answer. It's obvious Arnie and Co. were slanting the competition to give <Robert> a glimmer of a chance to win. Would an all-female final 3 have been that unattractive to Arnie/CBS?? I guess so. <el> |
Lyn | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:16 pm     Double post |
Lyn | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:16 pm     Today was day 61? Oops, my bad! |
Jimmer | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:18 pm     I agree with the brains part but how can you say that a math competition was slanted for Robert? The guy has already proven that he is hopeless at math (and he proved it again tonight). |
Darkhorse19 | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:23 pm     Ric, how did they give Robert an advantage? Also, how did Robert lack the brains? He guessed under because he figured Erika would go over. <sd> |
Ric_Munoz | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:23 pm     I meant slanted in the sense that the questions were written to help someone who has to rely on guessing to have a chance at scoring points versus a competition that was more of a test of knowledge of comments Jus/Ja/D/N made while still in the house. Had that been the case, E. and A. would have the wiped the floor with him. |

Hawaiiandew | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:23 pm     On Day 1 did they enter the house at 1am? No, I think people are forgeting that people entered the house in what appeared to be evening. So therefore Day 1 would not have 24 hours. (Even though I wish Erika would have won) |
Rainwoman | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:28 pm     Well, I put in the tape on Day 1, lol, shhhhh ... and the EX's came into the house on the same day as the original 8 houseguests. They came in some time after they had won their very first food competition, so maybe that time was deducted from when the original 8 walked in. I dunno, but this is killin my brain. see ya! |
Jimmer | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:30 pm     Think what an incredibly boring week it would have been if Robert had lost the HOH. Watching three people sit around and gloat for a week isn't my idea of entertainment. |
