Mich | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 04:03 pm     Anyone know if its about time for the HOH to be able to compete 2 weeks in a row? or maybe its too early? |
Julieboo | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 04:55 pm     Pirate's Booty is a natural / healthy type of snack, kinda like popcorn.... |
Bonzacat | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 04:58 pm     Caramel Pirate's Booty, available at Trader Joe's in CA..... yum!  |
Hamsterlady | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 05:03 pm     Thanks Julieboo & Bonza! I now know I'm not crazy. At least not yet....LOL Sounds good BTW. |
Dogdoc | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 06:41 pm     How did that ballroom thing work? Did they only get the foods up to where the alphabet was consecutive and they didn't miss a letter? How far did they get? |
Zachyd | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 06:48 pm     Some of the balls had names of food in them. They had to find those balls quickly and place them in a tube. Only a certain amout of balls would fit so they should only put in the foods they would eat (e.g. Cheese, Pasta, Bagels) not the foods they wouldn't eat (e.g. Octopus, Alligator, Fish eyes). They wouldn't get the food that was out of order, then it would go on and they would get the foods after it until the next mistake. I think they got to "R"(???). |
Dogdoc | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 07:02 pm     Thanks Zachyd. I was afraid I would forget to set the vcr. The Steelers took precedence here tonight. |
Meme9 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 07:22 pm     Is there anyone one here from the Cincinnati viewing area? I can't find out when the show is suppose to be on....grrrrr. Darn football! It's WKRC in Cincinnati, channel 12. Any help would be appreciated. I want to see Jun smiling and Robert shown as he really is! |
Madelane | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:21 pm     Did anyone notice if Jun told the other HG's about Barry White and Gregory Hines passing away? I can't remember if they both died before the show started but I'm pretty sure Gregory Hines was only like 2 weeks ago. I know I for one was devastated (White Knights was one of my favorite movies of all time), and I figure the HG's would want to know. It seems like that was one of the few current events they couldn't keep Jun from finding out (considering P. Diddy's shirt). |
Zachsmom | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:31 pm     LOL I Meme! I thought you said WKRP in Cincinnati..lol my first thought "That's a radio station" second though "duh"  |
Meme9 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:45 pm     LOL Zachsmom, where do you think they got the name. Anyway, I called a friend(who happened to be in the shower)to find out when it was on. I hate when that happens. |
Cndeariso | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 05:38 am     Did Jun make her nominations after she got back? |
Justshirley | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 06:50 am     Cnd, according to the LFs, nominations will be made on Sunday. They're assuming that the Veto meeting will then be on Monday, both to be aired on Tuesday's show. |
Demsome | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 08:50 am     How come the mods get rid of sarcastic comments but not downright mean comments... makes no sense. |
Moderator | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 09:15 am     We work very hard to catch as much as we can, Demsome, but it isn't possible and we miss things. If there is something causing you concern that you feel we need to examine, please feel free to email us at moderator@tvclubhouse.com. (SD) |
Seamonkey | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 09:23 am     I posted this in Ali's debate thread, but that thread seems like a non-starter.. === I was doing a search on Alison as a figure skater, but found this site.. somewhat interesting. http://www.alisonirwin.net/ This site has an interesting interview with Ali's mother, for one thing. Friday, August 08, 2003 Interview with Alison's mother courtesy of fansite: http://www.alisonirwinonline.com Q will be a question by the website A is the answer by Alison's mother Q: What type of education does she have? Some say she is still in college others say she graduated? What is her educational background? A: Alison graduated from Pitt with a BS in Exercise Science. She plans on taking her LSAT's in October and starting law school in another year. She had a 3.5 at Pitt. Q: Is Alison a hometown celebrity now? A: Alison has been a hometown celebrity all her life. With a father as a lawyer and her mother a teacher and trainer it was hard not be be known. Ali also was a National level figure skater and has travelled all over the country as a singles and ice dance competitor until she was 18. At 20 she was crowned Miss Crawford County so once again back in the headlines. Now our local paper has the "Alison Watch " after every show. Q: How did you feel when Alison got nominated? When Nate took her off the nomination block? A: Ali and Dana's problem I think was Dana's "thing" for Justin. She saw Ali as a threat to that relationship. Q: Have you spoken to Alison's current boyfriend? How is he feeling after watching the show? A: She is madly in love with Donny. Donny and I talk almost everyday. Ali's father and I will be at his first home football game at Bloomsburg on August 30th. His birthday was hard but he got by and her's will be hard also. Alison's brother, J.R. and Donny are also very close. Q: How did you feel when Justin walked into the house? A: I figured out it was Justin before he walked in. Alison has only had 5 boyfriends. I knew where all of them were but Justin so I felt sure it would be him. Q: If you could pick up the phone and call Alison to give her one piece of advice, what would that advice be? A: If I could call her I would tell her I love her and keep playing the game. Q: Do you believe that CBS (via editing) is portraying Alison as she is in real life? A: I think CBS shows you clips of what they want. I know they spent 4 and 1/2 hours here on the Sat. before Nate took her off the block. We retaped things over and over. Alison in real life has a temper to match anyone. She has controled it on the show very well. I'm proud of that! She is VERY loyal and I don't think we have the true picture about her and Nate. She is VERY family orienated and VERY loving. Q: Let’s address some of the Internet rumors. First, has Alison smuggled a computer into the house and created her own e-mail and website. A: She doesn't have a computer...she couldn't even take an eyebrow pencil. Nothing she could write with. Q: Second, is it true that Alison was involved in an abusive relationship? Provide as many or as few details as you would like to share A: She was in a 4 year abusive relationship. That's why her platform was "Hands Against Domestic Violence." She spoke to many groups and raised over $6,000.00 for our local women's shelter.The young man has gotten help and I hope changed. We never knew as she was always bruised from triple jumps that she was learning at the time.The day we found out, her father pulled her from the house, and I took her to the hospital for the beating. It has made Alison the person she is. She is slow to trust but once you have that trust it will last forever unless you betray her. Q: Third, does Alison only prefer to be called Alison not Ali or any other shortened version of her name. A: She likes Ali or Alison...some call her AL but Donny calls her "Princess." Q: How close were Justin and Alison while they were dating? Was it a bad breakup? How long were they together? Does she still carry feeling for Justin? A: Ali still has feelings for Justin as a person. She and Justin were together for 7 months. We went to his matches and he has been to our home. However Donny came before and after Justin so I feel that was their main hangup. Donny was never been out of the picture. Justin never really had a chance. Q: Is there anything Alison has done in the house that you wish she would not have done? Anything that makes you proud of her? A: We are proud of Alison for ever trying this. It was hard to decide to give up her work as a Miss America local contestant. She was very proud of her titles. They took alot of time and work and she was able to reach so many with her platform. Competing against 20- 30 women for her titles has made her driven to to do well. The pagent world is hard. She not only had to have a strong talent, 40% of the score but a good interview, also 40% of her score. Bathing suit was 10% which she almost always won. (as she did interview) Alison comes from a family of competitors. Her grandfather was second in the NCCA wrestling from PSU. Her father played BB at PSU. I was a gymnast at PITT. She is there to play the game. She will do what she has to to win. We love Ali very much and miss her. I talked to her 2-3 times everyday before this happened. I will feel very down on her birthday as she is always with me. She was home almost every weekend. I can't tell you how close our family is. We all watch and hope she can make it to the end. - posted by PreSs @ 4:04 PM There's more on the site. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 09:39 am     Great Interview Seamonkey - TAHNKS! |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:21 am     Darn Filelock! But this gives me the opportunity to mention that in the last couple of days, sometimes when I click on a thread I get 'This page cannot be displayed', and so I go 'back' and try again and get the page okay the second time around, Is it my computer again, or the board?  |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:21 am     Thanks for the interview Seamonkey! |
Madelane | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:41 am     My question is almost about to be forgotten forever...does anyone know the answer to it? About Barry White and Gregory Hines? |
Ophiliasgrandma | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:44 am     I don't know what your question is. But I too had a question about GH, so I called up online the ever trusty National Enquirer and found that he'd been fighing liver cancer for the past two years. They had made it sound so secretive that I just had to know. Maybe this helps, Madeline. |
Spygirl | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:50 am     Madelane, I didn't hear her tell them about that, but maybe someone else heard. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:55 am     Madelane - I haven't heard Jun mention it inside the house, or read it on the livefeeds. I also watched extremely little of the awards show, so I don't know how much 'news' they gave away to Jun. I also imagine that Jun was being pumlled with so many sights and sounds that a wise crack made about a news item may have gone right over her head. |
Drewpdrawers | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:17 pm     This really isnt a question, just an observation. Seems to me that today Ali is thinking hard, and doing things that will get her camera time. She spent time playing in the ball room, flipping, hiding in the balls, waving to the camera. Then she sat in the floor staring at the HG pictures. I could be wrong, but I think she is trying to get camera time. Anyone else have an opinion? |
Seamonkey | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 12:22 pm     Drew, I was just thinking the same thing when she was sitting in the hall.. almost expected another Donny-meltdown.. but think they called her into the DR. |
