Puzzled | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 06:40 pm     I thought I read in the LFP's that BB had taken away the booze. |
Woodpecke® | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 10:25 am     Hello Stardust!! Amazing that another poster from Mooresville participates on this board. Maybe we can get together at Pioneer Park and talk about all the other posters. Ha! |
Angelsluv | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 10:34 am     When I used to have migraines (grew out of them), I could take a bottle of over-the-counter drugs and it wouldn't help at all. Now I feel sorry for Robert *yikes!* because migraines are terrible. |
Chief1 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 10:40 am     Just saw this posted on another discussion, by Eliz87: http://www.alisonirwin.net Thanks for the info, Eliz87! I checked it out, and was NOT surprised at some of the incredible hate there. One writer said it best when she told Ali she brought this on herself! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:02 am     Hmm. Some random thoughts while Jun and Ali snooze. I think you should get an old refrigerator for proper storage of all those '*'s. I don't think Jun will be like Nicole and Dan.. neither one of them would walk to the door to let in the jury HG. But I think Ali, despite all the smack talk will be the one to act all friendly at the door. From the LF of the talk between 1-2am, it sounds like Jun and Ali got to see some tapes, because they knew that Erika has said she hoped the blimp would pop and they'd be killed and seemed to know some other things previously known only to the viewers. Since I don't feel all that hostile to Jun and Ali, I do wonder why the producers want to stress them during this additional week, which is obviously being planned for CBS' benefit, not Jun and Ali's. I also think they should be getting their stipend, this year more than in other years. Robert will take home the $750 a week, the others will also take that home, plus varying numbers of weeks of a very nice vacation. The second place winner gets the $50K, but no stipend. These people are on feeds, so we see them taking tylenol, nyquil, hydroxycut, advil, etc., but this goes on in homes every day and I suspect many of us have been known to dose a bit unwisely from time to time. Just not on camera so we aren't the subject of cautionary board messages. I do know that many people seem to think of tylenol as benign compared to aspirin but that a tylenol overdose can be much worse, or abuse of tylenol can have long lasting results. However, I'm way more alarmed at the amounts of RAID that Ali was allowed to use, in and out of the house.. I suspect that may have been the cause of headaches for Erika, Robert, Jun and Ali in the past days.. also seemed that some were sniffling or coughing more than usual. Robert seemed more breathless toward the end, and of course he was more agitated, but he IS an asthmatic. I'd love to see them so an Eco-BB.. stressing water conservation, some reasonable ways to fight insects, recycle bins, less waste of food. I just wish I could watch all of them watch the tapes.. just to see Dana's face when Jack said Buzzard's Crotch priceless. |
Sunshyne4u | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:26 am     Seamonkey, most people dont start using the products every nite and combine them regularly with alcohol. That is the scary part, especially when it is known that even ONE tylenol in your body lasts for hours (then combines with alcohol to form a toxic compound). Oh by the way, Rob did NOT really have a migraine. Like ANGEL said, you can take tons of regular products and it will not go away. He was even eating within a short while of getting out of the cage...anyone who has migraines knows that you just cant eat cause it will come back up again. ALSO, Rob made some comment about one pupil being bigger than the other.....that is a sign of stroke NOT migraine. BB producers would have had him out of there and into hospital if he presented with that symptom. He just was acting if you ask me....a little headache and nerves was what bothered him that night. OH I wish that there was a whole hour TV show with the EX HGs watching the tapes of the season. They all said stuff....even Justin against Dana LOL |
Seamonkey | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:36 am     Yeah, I never bought any of the "migraines".. I'll buy "stress headache" for sure. But just consider Robert locked in a small cage with the others.. Robert who can hardly sit still for long without fidgiting.. |
Earthmother | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:37 am     Be careful Stardust..we've heard lines like this before from our friend Wood. If you do go though, I hope you've got my back (minus the knife)..lol |
Angelsluv | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:46 am     Hey! The Emmys are on tonight, you think BB will get one? *LOLOL* |
Meggieprice | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:53 am     Seamonkey- right on to your musings. i too think they should get their stipend as well as their prize- while on the subject, i think for all they go through first place should be a million and second 100,000. The Raid has given me the heebie jeebies the whole season- I am extremely sensitive to stuff like that - it is TOXIC and Ali has contaminated their entire environment- I will never forget watching her spray their WATER DISPENSER- it made me ill just seeing that. I agree with you it has probably caused many of their headaches, and most probably that stomach problem Ali complained of. I like to think it made them so crazed that it caused all the bashing but I don't think so, lol! |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 03:52 pm     Well I think ALI should be given an Emmy for Best Actress in a (Melo)Drama. Here, let me do my impersonation of her....... (waving my hands in front of my eyes) |
Bondmaiden | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 03:55 pm     Oh "hell yeah" Clio. lol |
Sia | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 03:58 pm     Meggie, you're right! Alison has totally contaminated the BB house this year, both with chemicals from the bug-spray and with her vile language and nasty comments about all the other hamsters. And Jun's been right behind her! |
Sunshyne4u | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 04:14 pm     What I dont understand is why BB kept giving her RAID!! Some simple ant bait....or even BORAX mixed with Sugar(like grandma used to use) will kill off the colony. Could it be the wonderful theatrics Ali would pull off during these BUG CRUSADES she'd go on? Maybe they thought it made good cam time? |
Eliz87 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 04:19 pm     Oh boy...Chief1...sorry to disappoint but I made a huge mistake in posting that link. I think that site is disgusting but I typed the link because I was stupidly trying to think of the site that I saw with Alison's beauty pageant pictures on it. Instead of looking it up, I tried to think of the site name from memory. I would NEVER intentionally post a link to a site that bashes a HG, especially Alison...there has been enough bashing of her right here, IMO. |
Chippy | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 05:38 pm     LOL, Clio. I was watching BB with a friend one night and as the evicted hg was going out the front door, she said, watch for ali to start fanning her face with her hand... She didn't disappoint. She's done that several times since. It's like the fake tears just aren't quite enough... hahahahaaaaa. |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 06:21 pm     Chippy, Jun made a remark in the DR one time that Ali's tears contained no salt because they were manufactured by hidden tear ducts in her eyes. We can only assume that the fanning trips an infared beam and that's what triggers her "Instatear" mechanism. |
Chippy | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 06:27 pm     Well, if nothing else, it triggers my LMAO center in the very pit of my little brain. LOL |
Sia | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 10:44 pm     No need to apologize for posting the link to the Alison non-fan site; I rather enjoyed reading that. Thanks very much for the link. |
Sunshyne4u | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:26 pm     The fanning hand is supposed to help the mascara / makeup from running.....you know, a breeze helps keep it dryer. Seriously (Mind you, when Marcellus used to do it I was confused) |
Crossfire | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:38 pm     Do they have makeup? I thought that got banned after someone tried to write something with it. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:43 pm     There was certain makeup they were allowed, and other they weren't. Apparently, eyebrow pencil, or lip pencil (anything pencil), they weren't allowed. (Could be used to write with.) Although, apparently Michelle did sneak in an eyebrow pencil. Other make up such as base, powder, blush, eye shadow, and mascara were allowed. |
Crossfire | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:50 pm     Ahhh, OK, got it. |
Juiceman | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 02:24 am     It seems a few others are demanding explanations from CBS regarding the way BB has ended on this sour note. http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1770 and another group has gone a step further to create an online petition demanding basically the same thing as this thread. http://www.petitiononline.com/bb4a2003/petition.html Im not encouraging the petition here - just thought it was relevant to this topic thread. |
Wendo | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 08:24 am     I'm curious why people think they're entitled to an explanation at all? CBS nor ASP is forcing anyone to watch their show or the live feeds. The consumer is able to make choices, use the remote or not click the "I agree" button with Real. People are owed an explanation by CBS? Laughable. |
