If you are logged in as the site admin and head to the "Site Admin >  
Themes" tab, disable all the themes other than "BuddyPress Profile  
Default". That way all users should be forced into using the correct  
theme.

Multiple blogs is going to be an issue with BuddyPress. In fact, the  
plan right now is to limit one user to one blog. With BuddyPress, the  
administration area represents the person, and not the blog. This  
causes a problem when administering multiple blogs. Which admin area  
would you go to to check your messages or add a new photo?

I can see ways around this, but for simplicities sake, one blog for  
each user is the route we are taking for the time being. I haven't yet  
added the code to stop the registration of multiple blogs, which is  
why you are getting the run around. :)
