Did'nt she say she quit smoking prior to coming into the house? If so, that is why the constant eating. However, no one will ever convince me she has gained just 10pds. The before and after pics show the gain and her DR feeds show a fuller face.

I really feel bad for her because she worked hard to lose the weight she did and being in this house is putting it all back on, if she does not win the grand prize or second place I feel she may continue her "old ways" of stress munching.

Well Woodpecker, the old adage is brought to mind "Politics makes strange bedfellows" but in this case its Big Brother makes strange bedfellows.lol.

To be honest I prefer women with some meat on their bones, I'm not into swizzle sticks. So Jun's weight is only an issue with me when it relates to her ego.

I'm not a fan of Jun's, this has to do with her actions in the game. Tho I think she has a chance to win if she can carry on the balancing act.

I found the bit on BB to be cruel and shallow on the producers part. The before/after shot was plain mean.
School yard humour at its best.

Bbwanna, I have seen the others clear their plates and wash up. She does clean up the mess she makes while cooking (which I think is a bit unfair). But the others do help out.

There are several rumors about Jun's nonsmoking. Some have said that she wasn't much of a smoker anyways before coming into the house (smoking less than Jee, in fact). So if that were the case, quitting smoking wouldn't have anything to do with excessive eating. Boredom, yes. Stress, yes? But I doubt if smoking had much to do with it.

Why is everyone standing up for Jun. She IS fat and it IS her fault for eating so much.... It makes me so mad when people try to defend others for being fat. 99% of the time it is their fault and it's something they have a choice about. :)

They now say you live longer if you're 30 lbs overweight - go figure!

Dark, how old are you? Any kids yet???? And where did you get your Medical Degree? Grenada?

I gotta side with Dark on this one. I know some people have thyroid conditions, but it's obvious that Jun's weight is her own fault. Case and point, the split screen that BB showed on tv.

Really Kira? I never heard that.

My friend at work's sister died this year from complications due to a stomach stapling. Very sad. If she had stayed fat she would probably still be alive.

I do not know any human being that does not have some flaw that makes them in some way do something that is detrimental to them. It is empathy for the human plight.

In Jun's case the flaw is there for all to see. Those of us who acknowledge we have flaws can feel for her whether weight is an issue for us or not.

Actually, Jun is not fat. She's not even "grossly obese" by medical standards. In fact she's probably pretty freakin' close to "average" here in the US.

If Jun does have an eating disorder, then it's not being treated (antidepressants and other drugs can sometimes stop the feelings that cause a person to overeat).

I'm not overweight (not by a long shot). But my mother is. She has no thyroid (which helps to regulate weight). She several other medical issues and the medications cause weight gain. She also has a very hard time losing any weight since her metabolism is almost nonexistent. Is it my mother's fault? NO IT ISN'T!! And I'm seriously offended that you imply that it is.

Well if Dark really thinks that Jun is "FAT" then I think that is really sad.

Maris, sorry if I offended you but most overweight people can control their weight. Jun obviously is one of those who can. It is annoying that people are saying that it was "cruel and shallow" of the producers to show the before/after. All I can say is that the truth hurts.

What I am saying is that anyone who looks at that girl and calls her "FAT" has problems with their eyesight. She is not overweight by any stretch of the imagination.

Different people have different opinions and mine is that she is overweight. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

So right, Gidget. It is sooo easy to pick on someone who is overweight, because it is there for all to see.

Even with the added weight, she still is, IMO, in the normal range for weight. Even if she weren't, why is it anyone's business?

Once people are out of middle school, they really should get over ragging on people because they don't meet their particular standards of appearance.

Unfortunately, it doesn't cease after middle school - clearly. Jun is smaller than the national average and quite okay. I think it is a sad state of affairs if anyone considers her fat or overweight. Says a lot about vanity.

<<<Maris, sorry if I offended you but most overweight people can control their weight. Jun obviously is one of those who can.>>>

This gem of a statement came without any factual documentation. If I ate like Jun does, I wouldn't gain a pound. I'm eating like a horse right now. Pointing out Jun's weight would be like going up to Darkhorse on the street and saying, "You're 19 and you're stupid because you didn't graduate from college."

I am not the one who pointed out her weight. I just joined in. By the way i'm not 19 i'm 16. Good Night

Well Dark I think we could have all guessed you were 16- wait until you hit your 20's and suddenly you gain 15lbs just because of age.

I have said in this thread before Jun is NOT fat, she is however, not as skinny as the other HG's.

With that said Between Karen Carpenter and Mama Cass we have Matthew Shepard (beaten to death for being gay) and all the races of the world that have been offended by this 'woman' because of her insecurities.

Remember when you were 16 and saying you were 19 meant something!

Now I'm 43 and wishing I was 40!

Night Dark...
Now I am positive about getting Net Nanny when I connect the kids PC to the net.

I felt bad for Jun watching that cruel montage they did, even if it is true, it really was mean, as if Jun's weight has anything to do with the game. I think Jun is probably eating a lot out of boredom, hopefully she'll get control before she gains much more weight.

Wadsters, I just turned 50, and I'd be happy with 49 so I could say I was still in my 40's. Lol
