Rissole. A small pastry filled with a mixture that includes meat or fish, usually fried.

Puzzled, the stones were very interesting. All the remaining housemates were involved in the discussion. It was an interesting insight to the way Tim thinks.
Mamajenn, Tim may have gotten in a showmance if any of the gals had been the least bit interested in him, but they weren't. He lamented that fact earlier in the game, but he can't have it both ways. He can't act like a kid and expect a mature romance, although, when they were talking about porn a month or so ago, Tim's response was the best of the group. He showed a lot of maturity there.
I really enjoyed today's Halloween show. Parts of it made me cry. I noticed how Jade made an excuse for something Drew did just as she has excused things Ed has done (or not said.) I don't understand why she does that.
Drew is a total gossip and for that reason the others shouldn't tell him anything. I so don't want him in the F3. I'd rather it be Jade than Drew.
Will, I was also so very glad Tully wasn't part of Drew's 'treat.'
I noticed the quick shot of Ed's brother in the audience when Jade was talking in the DR about her reaction to Ed's goodbye message to her and what she might have wanted him to say rather than what he did. Was the audience the same as yesterday's? Was today's show actually taped yesterday...at least parts of it?
I don't think Ed and his brother look like identical twins. I think Ed is better looking.

I looked up rissoles today as well. The ones they ate did not have the pastry. I believe they may have been some type of lamb patties. I may rustle up some rissoles this weekend. I love the name.

By the way, whoever recommended this series over on bb us...THANK YOU! This series is leagues better than the u.s. version. I may be done with what they produce on CBS. I especially like that they don't have silly completions where everyone throws them.

Rissoles are pretty much burger patties but have breadcrumbs inside them (probably to make the meat go further, as we had rissoles decades before we ever heard of the word "burger"). You put flour on the outside before you fry them so they get a bit of a crust.

Hmm, Kitt...they sound like meatloaf. What Tim ate looked like a meatloaf sandwich.

I'm pretty sure a rissole is a hamburger patty.
I wouldn't have loved the Halloween show nearly so much if Ed had been there. So glad he's gone.
A big thank you to the poster who suggested watching BBAU! I'm enjoying it so much.

Cricket, posters on their site say it was Ed in the audience last night, though I thought it was Nick, who isn't as nice-looking as his brother. There's a bit of sleuthing going on, trying to determine if one of Ed's two female roommates is his girlfriend/friends with benefits.
This is from Day 95 live feed, page 20.

Then on to the next page for this instagram, noting the hashtags http://instagram.com/p/WgtYlgOrFv/#
I really hope this is not true.

I agree with everyone's sentiments about this version of BB and the great job the producers have done in every aspect from casting, to planning tasks, to maintaining a relatively friendly atmosphere. And the housemates themselves should be commended for not constantly cursing and leaving us listening to continual bleeps. And for being fun and entertaining, even when they're fighting with each other.
I can't imagine voting for Tahan just because of who her boyfriend is. If an American housemate had a boyfriend who was a racecar driver, I don't think the audience would care. I'm not sure if she's still as popular as she was when the Sugar Sisters were in the house, though. With them and Mikkayla out, she hasn't had anyone to bring out her tough side in a while.
It's possible that Jade is picking up the fans of all her fallen comrades. Mikkayla's fans and Maddy's fans may be voting for her, and now Ed's fans will. So there's a good possibility she could make it to the final three. She keeps wondering how she's still in there, but she probably hasn't considered this possibility.
I loved this special. It was fun for them, but more fun for us. They would've found out all of these "secrets" eventually, but this way we got to see their reactions. So it felt more like they were treating us.s fans will. So there

It was interesting that Drew felt that Ed's message to Jade was just awful and Tim agreed. I, like them, think that he took advantage of Jade's neediness. I hope she sees the light before she's voted out or before the finale.

I hope people are wrong about Ed having a girlfriend outside the house. That really would be devastating to Jade, because he could've just said so. I didn't find his message that awful because he didn't say anything he hadn't already said. It would've been wrong for him to say "I love you" if he didn't really mean it. And he never was one to gush about his feelings, so I don't know why they expected him to do it on video. Plus, there's a part of me that suspects Ed didn't really think he was leaving when he made that message. It was classic Ed.

I hope Ed does have someone else. Jade needs to move on ... quickly.
Do you have to be a member of Instagrams to see pics? I saw pics the first few times I clicked on links a few months ago, but haven't since & just get a white screen below the instagram logo when I clicked on -
http://instagram.com/p/WgtYlgOrFv/#
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I think Ed was very clear to Jade that he wasn't available/interested in Jade & was trying to be nice. I think he succumbed rather than reject her further. He wanted to play single to the $50 voting fans but got stuck. I never saw one sober moment where he was anything but passive to her advances. He didn't become more involved til his bro told him to make it more believable. I do think he appreciated the friendship, comfort & companionship but I hope that's the end of it.

I get the page up and I'm not a member. It's a photo of a woman holding a little bad, possibly a jewellery bag - with the caption:
ohnoitserrio
8 months ago
Happy Birthday Miss Hugo!! @edlower @nicklower33 @nikkihinge @phatannie @ashleykaterankin #edproposed #tiffanys #longgrain #ed #friends #junglecurry
No Ed in the photo and I couldn't find any of him in her instagram feed. (However I think the woman in the picture isn't the owner of the instagram.)

The girl in the picture's name is Annie Hugo.

It certainly seems like they were dating! Nick tweets her "#notineurope" when Ed goes in the house!

I'm not surprised that Ed had a girlfriend because his behaviour with Jade was an indication to me that he didn't want to upset that girlfriend, however, he did respond to Jade's kisses with relish, so once he did that the girlfriend may have felt upset or, like Jade does, justified his act as a game ploy and wouldn't resent him too much, at least not in public, if she was indeed among the audience and they hugged, as someone mentioned here.
This morning show was just a pity party for Jade, and it felt like Ed was very much a presence in the house still, and Drew just couldn't get over Ed nominating Jade and went on and on in the Diary Room.
I'm getting more recent scenes in my head from the live feed clips and and see Jade coming out of her shell a bit more now and Boog getting worse with pranks and retaliation for pranksters Tim and Drew, while Tahan seems a bit more removed with her 'chef' duties, which I don't think she really wanted to but did her best and Tim looked a bit of a jerk throwing away the drink prepared by Tahan.
Too bad that it seems Jade is gaining a lot of votes from Ed's fans which is making Drew the one evicted Monday with Boog.
In a way I'd rather not see Tahan win because she will be criticized that she won only because of her boyfriend's big pocket, I don't think she deserved that kind of treatment from the public.

They went into the house at the end of July, that's only four months after the birthday proposal, if that's what it was (not a joke by the tweeter). It makes sense with Ed's later relationship with Jade (the one that developed slowly) but remember quite early on he was hooking up with her just on Friday nights for a bit of passion... I think if it were me (and I'd agreed to let him do his thing in the house) I'd be more upset with him needing to get his rocks off with what was then a random girl and more understanding that he developed a close friendship which crossed the line with a nice girl who wouldn't give in.

Even if Ed's engagement was a joke, he does live with the girl & she's a major part of his life. I would bet Annie Hugo is his gf.
He agreed to go on dates *after* big brother before he went in with the winners of his dating contest. He had to appear single for these women to believe they had a chance with him. This was all prearranged before he went into the house & the gf probably agreed to it.
There is a very good chance Jade may get a *lot* of sympathy votes out of this & even more if the super sleuths prove he is engaged but I can't imagine enough to win. I wish he would just fess up.
I think a LOT of her obsession was fueled by the sugar sisters when she had doubts they kept telling her how much he likes her, etc. Who was it in the beginning that told her to be vulnerable with him to ignore his rebuffs & tell him how she feels?? Was that Mikkayla?? Someone besides the sisters I seem to recall.
I think that after this is all over, Jade & Drew may get together after Tully/Drew, Ed/Jade issues are all completely resolved. Drew is seeing the Jade he first fell for again.

After last year's BBUS fiasco, which I assume "turned off" many BB fans, BBUS should turn in a whole new direction for next year's show. I wish they would take up some of the other countries tasks & elements.
I hated US BB1, I literally forced myself to watch it years after *but* I never saw the live feeds & I'm sure that that was what made BB special & endearing. BB2 was perfect, I don't know if that was due to Dr.Will or the changes but I really enjoyed that season & the challenges were relevant to the game.
I think BBUS could keep the HOH, HM voting & nom talks, they wouldn't have to make it a popularity contest with the public but they need the week long tasks for food budget & the constant BB interaction. Having game show type comps are not interesting to watch & the only relevance is the outcome.

I agree they should take the best of each BB version. The US still has the competitions which are better than the Aussie version and the week HOH holder could have the superpower but ALL of them get to nominate and always have a minimum of the first 3 up to 5 or six depending on the ties on the block in the beginning.
I am not that favorable of public voting to save but it could make the producers a bundle of money and maybe they should give it a try and see if it improves the behavioural problems in the US house.
There should be a strict observation of the rules, no nomination talk, this could improve their behaviour and lots lots of special tasks and rewards as it is done in the Aussie version.
Instead of the slop, make them play challenges in the smaller scale as it is done in the Aussie version (with only 2 housemates playing for food).
But they have to have the same live shows entertaining style with a more fun host (so tired of Julie), the bigger and noisier audience like they have down under. Improve the house, make it as nice as the Aussie one.
Am I liking more the Aussie one??? I guess so. Can't find anything else better in the US other than the competitions and the weekly HOH and the prize, half a mil is better than a quarter.. LOL.

I agree that BB US should change and learn from BB UK and BB AUS. I also think that all the hamsters should nominate. If they keep the HOH stuff, I guess that would be o.k., but they can ditch the POV and instead have the challenges like UK & AUS.
They need to have the diary room conversations real, not the nonsense they have now.

Except the US competitive reality shows all switched over to toll-free voting over 10 years ago to increase their vote totals. So how would they make money on the voting? Getting the public to pay for something you once offered them for free isn't easy and can turn out to be both a PR nightmare and seriously reduce your total viewership. Case in point are websites for daily newspapers that install paywalls.
