Big Brother 9 contestant Amanda faints and has a seizure on camera

Wow. These videos are disturbing (and the language is foul as a warning).
On the show Big Brother, contestants who lose certain challenges have to go on the "slop diet." Who knows what the hell the stuff is... but it isn't good. It looks like chunky dry oatmeal but I have no idea what it really is.

Amanda was put on the diet on Thursday. She is hypoglycemic. From Wikipedia:

Hypoglycemia (hypoglycaemia in British English) is the medical term for a pathologic state produced by a lower than normal level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. The term hypoglycemia literally means "under-sweet blood" (Gr. hypo-, glykys, haima). Hypoglycemia can produce a variety of symptoms and effects but the principal problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose as fuel to the brain, resulting in impairment of function (neuroglycopenia). Derangements of function can range from vaguely "feeling bad" to coma and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death. Hypoglycemia can arise from many causes and can occur at any age.

Here are the two videos from the house "live feed." Both videos are from yesterday.

In the first Amanda is talking to another houseguest about feeling bad and needing sugar. She was complaining about not being let into "the diary room" to ask for something to feel better. Then she collapses.

In the second video (which is VERY disturbing) you can see her having what appears to be a seizure.





I hope she's OK. She's been off the live feeds for a while but is still in the house.

There is also word that Allison (another houseguest) has been taken to the hospital for a seperate incident. Rumored to be an allergic reaction to peanuts -- she's back in the house too. A second possibility is that someone slipped something into her slop. Producers are rumored to be doing tests on the slop to determine if it was tampered with. DRAMA!!!
From all indications (and due to this season's lackluster ratings) this could be the last season of Big Brother.
