Big Brother 8 Shabbat Bagel Brunch
They're up, on outdoor lockdown, and waiting for the Veto Comp to begin. BB has supplied the non-slop crew, fka the slop girls + Eric, with a nice Bagel spread for breakfast. Nick's working out, Dustin's passed out, and Zach's wandering about... solo.
Clearly, they're enjoying it. ;) Jew food's not so bad, huh girls?
(before you leave me a ludicrous comment about being offended,
please read the other comments that have been posted,
notably the ones from me - if you have the knowledge to read
the one in hebrew, take particular notice of that one.)
Jen's the only slop eater to come and join the bagel bunch.
Feeds went to trivia 5 minutes ago, at 8:10am BBT. This could well mean the HGs are getting instructions for the comp, or we'd be more likely to have the blue screen graphic... Feeds back on at 8:18am BBT... and the girls are talking about how "all those internet people find out everything about us" and how Dick has Vincent running his myspace and answering emails... He imagines Vincent's responses are something like, "My dad says F you. Bye."
It's a chill, enjoyable time on the feeds right now.
We've got some fun treats in store today, and we'll have the Veto Spoiler up ASAP after the comp is done. Thanks for coming to the blog.
As of 8:45am BBT, they're still on outdoor lockdown, waiting happily together for the Veto Comp. Well, the eaters plus Dick are happy and chatty. The non-eaters are scattered solo about the yard.

I'm Jewish, you nit. It was a reference to all the hoopla that's been made over Eric being Jewish, and some of the HGs never having met a Jew.
Sheesh.
ayze shmock, atah. ech. al tagid li shum davar al mah l'hagid o lo.. af paam. nudnik.
the word Jew is not offensive in the slightest. your mis-interpretation of it as a negative is. get your mind out of the shtetl.
Dick is crazy lol, his son Vincent doesn't answer his e-mails like that. Vincent is very nice and has answered many messages I have sent and none of them have had a single cuss word in them.
I've been getting some rather heated and alway anonymous responses to the Bagel Brunch post I did yesterday, and I just want to clear up a few things in the interest of understanding.
I'm 100% Jewish, the daughter of a Cohain, quite proud, and not even slightly self-deprecating about it. My family also has their fair share of Holocaust Survivors. I speak Hebrew as well as I speak English and French, colloquialisms included. I actually once considered going to rabbinical school. My mother still fantasizes about me becoming a cantor...
I reject the notion of the word Jew, in modern usage, being anything more than a descriptive word, neither positive, nor negative. I think it's dangerous and backwards to hold on to the shtetl mentality of the past... that of projecting yourself as a constant victim of your circumstances, rather than a productive, capable member of the human race.
Do we have our detractors? Of course, and we always will. Our strength is in recognizing their ignorance. The real danger comes when we attack each other on the basis of "who's a Jew." That debate a few years back did nothing to help anyone, and only served to create a divide equal to or greater than what the current administration has done between the Libs and Conservatives in america. It's purely divisive and counter-productive. When is it a good thing to turn neighbor against neighbor?
