Jbean: No apology necessary...it's TOTALLY natural to get caught-up with the craziness you see on the show and hell, if i were you, i would have said the same thing...hahahaha, yeah, i can laugh at this stuff now :)

Sloth: Thank you...I think seeing Bob out there and being able to touch him and hug him and gosh, smell him after all those months was better than anything... :)

Scoop: Okay, here's the scoop :). Bob and I are spending time together and although I would LOVE to get back together, i have come to just appreciate all the time I have with him laughing and smiling and just having him by my side right now :). I actually officially "left" my job as of 10/31 and i think it was for the best. I was at Citigroup for 5 years and i just felt like i needed to do something new...so when I got the BB chance, I took it, knowing that the summer would hlp me decide what I wanted to do. I keep in touch with a lot of the HGs, we are all pretty busy so we just get in a couple of emails here and there when we can. I also talk to Roddy (BB3) pretty often :). Oh, and i'm still in the process of looking for a good accountant...but the IRS hasn't come bangin down my door so i guess i have a little time! :)

LOL! Great to hear you are doing well, Jun! My sister and I checked on 'our HouseGuests' way more than we should have this summer. Glad to see you are joining our fun here on TVCH.

God bless you and your journey.

Wow! A real BB HG here! I wish I'd looked in the BB area sooner! Anyway, welcome Jun! I hope you enjoy this board, it's the best on the net!

I hesitate a little to say the following because this thread has been so positive lately...but...I really think no one can understand what it is like to be in the BB house except the hgs. They are totally removed from everything except each other and the few challenges. They have nothing at all to do. Because of this, I imagine everything takes on such monumental importance. Many things that would be practically meaningless in real life, that would just be ignored or brushed off are all consuming in the minds of the hgs, I imagine. At the same time, they are playing a game against each other and yet have those they beat award them a huge amount of $. The whole thing is just not real life. Also, emotions are so catchy...

Spygirl...thanks for the great quote "I'm not of the opinion that it is my job to ensure that someone else learn a lesson!" That's GREAT! I wish many people could read this!

Jun...ITA with Cricket when she posted that she couldn't beleive it when you and Ali were sitting together in the living room and you said everyone talked badly about everyone else and she said "not everyone Jun". AAArrrgg! That tone! I couldn't beleive the way she acted when she said that! She really was full of herself!
Congrats on your win.

Thanks mom :)

I know...sigh...everything you said is so true, I just wish more people had such a grasp on life and it's lessons :)

I have to admit that when Ali said that to me for a split second I was like "holy shit?! oh god, i'm in trouble"...but then clear-headed/game Jun took over and I knew she was totally BSing :)

What's this I hear? Did someone mention Roddy? Roddy The Babe!

LOL Wendo! I remember that night when you were creating those <sigh, miss the late night chatters!>

Hi Jun- Welcome to TVCH! I hope you will venture out of the BigBrother area and see the rest of the board. We have topics on anything you could imagine.

I enjoyed watching you on the show, and I must say, you did what needed to be done to win. Never for a moment did I think you were there for any other reason than to bring home the money. You single-handedly had a say on each and every eviction. Awesome!

I hope everything goes well with you and Bob, I cried when you ran into his arms. <okay- I am a sap ! that was the second time I cried during the whole entire season-first was when Jack was evicted>

Hey Jun! Glad you stuck around...the people are great on these boards:)
Have you watched any of the other reality shows? Survivor, the Bachelor etc?
With my 10 month old and my 8 year old we don't go out much...so we've become junkies for these shows!
Also...I am very curious to know...how in the world do you cook for so many people? I'm in your yahoo group and you stated that your cooking Thanksgiving for your family...I don't think that I could do that...your quite a woman! lol
Do you have any quick recipe ideas for me? I'm a working mom with very little time to cook big dinners...any suggestions?
Thanks Jun!

Floridagirl- I'm not Jun but I have a suggestion. I cook to have leftovers a lot so I don't have to make lunches for work and the next day. Get a huge crock pot! One of the best purchases I've ever made! Dump a bunch of stuff in it, then forget about it for a few hours. :)

Don't you need to cook it all day? I'm so not a cook...but I'm sure if I bought one I'd learn quickly...I think I'll go get one today:) My family will be very happy to not have another meal of Shake N Bake! LOL!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Not always- depends on what you make I suppose and if you use the low or high setting. There are zillions of recipes you can get on the internet. You could even start it before you go to bed so it's ready the next day. Some take 4 hours, some take more.

I make a lot of pasta casseroles in it with veggies, rice dishes, stuffed peppers, soups, enchilada casserole, scalloped potatoes, etc- I usually cook the pasta seperate and stir them in later so it's really just heating and cooking the sauce. I like it because you can just lift out the food and put it in the refridgerator- it already has a lid!

And if you're in the mood to go buying things (a crock pot is a GREAT idea but it can get a little pricey and cumbersome) I would to and get a George Foreman Grill if you don't already have one. You can grill just about anything and they come out great...throw some chunks of veggies and chicken ona skewer and throw them on the GF grill, yummy! And then you can have all sorts of sauces on the side with them. Or season some porkchops and throw them on, they come out really moist and juicy! And burgers come out great too b/c the fat drips out but the meat still stays juicy.

Shake 'n Bake when you're in the mood tastes great, but if you feel adventurous and have time you can "add" more to the shake part (paprika, garlic, oregano, etc.) and have a differet taste to it. Also, try different sides, sauteeing fresh veggies...get a box of orzo pasta and a can of chicken broth or cream-based soup 9cream of chicken or brocolli, etc.) and you can have a perfect side right there! Boil the orzo for HALF the amount of time stated on the box and then throw in some of the soup and pasta together in a casserole dish and bake it for like 15 minutes or so. You will get an idea of how much soup to add to the boiled pasta depending on your tastes.

I'm with Kaili on the stuffed peppers, SO easy but it looks like a gourmet chef prepared them! I can get into making those too if you want, i have a great recipe...

Hopefully my website will be up soon and I will have some of my recipes up!

Yes the George Forman Grill RULES!!!

Jun check out a great spice shop on 40th and 9th avenue, right next to sea breeze seafood. They have huge barrels of spices and different flours. It is a cooks dream. Sea Breeze has great seafood as well. I bought great crabmeat there yesterday only 13.99/lb.

Floridagirl, as long as we're turning the Jun thread into a recipe thread :) I'll tell you mine but you would probably want to replace my soy meat with real meat. LOL- most people do. I don't measure anything like this though- I just go based on taste.

Pretty much I just brown my little soy crumbles (or your beef)- I use one bag so I think that's supposed to be like 1 pound of beef. It makes 4 peppers- and add some chopped onion. I think I add a little crushed garlic too, but you could use garlic powder if you prefer.

Oh yeah- meanwhile cook up some rice- I usually use instant but sometimes I go for the jasmine rice. I'd say roughly an equal amount to the beef. Go for a cup or so of rice. If I use the instant bags I make two of them.

Back to the beef- add a can of tomato paste, and *some* pasta sauce and the rice once it's done. Just mix it all until it's a pretty solid (spoonable) mixture.

Cut the tops off the peppers and holow out the seeds from the inside and spoon the mix into the peppers. Usually when I do this I fill each half way full then add some mozzarella before filling it the rest of the way. Put the tops back on.

Get a nice, deep dish (or use a big crockpot) and pour sauce on the bottom- put the peppers in and dump sauce all over the tops of them then cover it up.

In the oven, I'd say I cook them around 375 for...well...awhile. It takes a long time. At least 1-1.5 hours. Chec them now and then by poking the pepper with a fork. When the fork goes in easily, they're done. In a crockpot, I'd just put them on low for 6-8 hours and check them the same way. Since it's the same amount of work either way, I personally prefer the oven for these.

Can't wait to see Jun's version. Maybe I can try it too! I love stuffed peppers!

I like stuffed peppers too. I like to use the red bell peppers. I just like the sweeter taste. Sometimes it makes a nice presentation to mix up the color a little too. I like Kaili's idea of layering the cheese, but I don't put the top of the pepper back. Towards the ending of cooking I put mozzarella cheese on top and let it get all gooey and crisp.

Oh and if the kids don't like to eat the pepper part, put some of the stuffing in a small casserole dish, top with cheese and let them eat that.

I can't wait to see some of Jun's cooking tips. Will they include 101 uses for peanut butter and condiments?

You're welcome Jun! I'm glad you knew almost immed. that Ali was BSing you. From your diary rooms, we could tell you kept pretty focused on the game much more than many others in this bb and in other bb. Did you watch the other bb shows or feeds, or read transcripts of the feeds for the other bb?

Great pics Wendo! ROFL SO funny! I've never seen them before! Thanks for the great laugh!
