They conjecture on how game will work
They think the cool team will eat cold food, and the hot team will have hot food.

Robert says teams are unfair

Robert: It's crunch time now
The Stooges say they will use the veto on one of the others if they get it.
Justin doesn't seem too concerned with leaving because he will be sequestered "in Mexico," he says.

Stooges still talking strategy in the BY
Jee will "flip it" if Erica wins the "f*cking money."
The Stooges say they will vote against Erica if she is in the final two -- no matter who she is up against (even Nathan), although Jee and Justin both don't like the idea of Nathan winning the money.
Jee says he can't believe that saving Ali worked in his favor. He says they must believe "God is on our side."

Nate, Ali, Dana Jack playing cards; Jun and Dana in kitchen cutting jumpsuits NT

Robert says Jee is lucky to have the other Stooges
Robert says the other "c**ksuckers" would have betrayed Jee. Justin says they don't mind doing Jee's dirty work. They also say that Jee is the funniest guy and gets funnier every day. One of them says they bet Jee has a ton of friends at home.

Now Dana and Jee come out with alcohol.

Justin is still cutting his jumpsuit, and now Dana admits she has "OCD" (obsessive compulsive disorder). She's accusing Justin of having it too.

Jee reiterates his love for his girlfriend and says she wants more of him and then something about "all my other whoes," then quickly retracts the statement after the others say that is definitely going on TV.

Now they're talking about Dave (positive talk, surprisingly). Jee: "He's a guido, he's a musclehead."

Jee says Justin looks like he's from the penitentiary in his jumpsuit. Jee (or Robert can't remember which) says Dana's getting horny looking at him in the jumpsuit, but Dana says he looks "f*cking gay."

Jee talks about gay sex while in jail
He says if in jail, he'd never wipe his ass. He says if you're in jail, you either get "ass-f*cked" or beat up, or both. (Note: Jee has been drinking and said he was drunk a few minutes ago.)

Now Robert's going off on the boring conversation the Alliance is having inside. But the conversation turns to bench-pressing and other uninteresting talk.

Jul 31 2003 01:56, Thu max1204   Link
They're talking about drugs
Justin says he "pulls" every once in a while (pot). Jee's "boys" smoke "four-footers." Justin says his "boys" had a four-footer (bong), too, when he came out to Calif. before the shoot. He did partake (but didn't inhale [just kidding]). His friends call all their bongs "Darth Vader."

Jun and Jee used to have a bong called "Big red." Justin says he always named his bongs. One of Justin's bongs was called "Cal Rippin."

Justin now says he's going to be first to go (i.e., the first of the Stooges to leave the house), but he doesn't want to be dogged in the nomination speech. He wants to be told something like "you were a threat."

Jul 31 2003 02:00, Thu max1204   Link
Jee left marks on Jun
Jee says he wanted the marks (apparently his name branded with a knife onto Jun). Dana says all "2 1/2" girls wanted it and Jee "wanted to leave his mark on all his women."

All the others (Robert, Justin, Dana) think it's ridiculous.

Robert says Dave could be watching this all on the Internet and it's cool. They say Dave was "awesome," one of the coolest in the house, and Justin says "he was real."

Nate says he sweats easy and says J. Timberlake has nothing on him
He says it's like 61 degrees in the house all the time, plus his box fan is on. Erica says his internal thermometer must be messed up.

The Alliance members are still inside playing cards; Nathan is drinking. Nate says Britney Spears is going to come calling and Justin Timberlake "has nothing on me." Jack agrees (with the Timberlake crack). Nate says thanks and reminds Jack that he didn't vote to evict him.

Sounds to me like Nate is a little drunk (based on his ever slower drawl than usual).

Jee talking about how stoned he will get when he get out and Dana says...
"Well it won't take much...you will take one hit and be like retarded."
Jee says he has a little one hitter and he can grind up a bud and put it in the dugout and it will last him like two weeks. Now they are talking about what Jee will let his girlfriend wear. Jee has been drinking so they are all taking advantage of the fact.


If you can't dazzle them with knowledge, baffle them with bull$h!t.

Ali says the Dark Side has been stealing alcohol
They were hoarding it in the HoH room, she says. She found it when she went into the fridge in there to find some Gatorade. She said she found 3 bottles of wine (and maybe more, but I didn't catch it). Ali says they have been taking it throughout the week.

Jee is drunk...

Jun says that Ali thinks that....
the stooges specifically Jee threw the HOH comp. Jee thinks that is crazy. They ask why the Ali crew thinks that and Jun says so that Ali and Nate could do the dirty work and get rid of Dana.

Justin says that he had never heard about BB until two weeks before the show started. It irks him that someone in this house is going to get a half a million dollars and he hopes that one of them (the stooges) gets the money. And he will probably kill himself if ali wins it.

Justin said he'd never heard of this "f*ckin" show
He said two weeks before he got on the show he'd never heard of it. He says he likes to earn his money. "It wouldn't really bother as much as it would someone else," Justin says. He says he's "coastin til the end of the summer" and he has his job waiting for him. He says Jun and Dana want it more than him.

"It irks me" that someone in the house will be getting $500,000 and he "might commit suicide" if Alison wins the money and he hopes one of the other Stooges wins. Robert says he feels the same way about Erica winning.

Dana says she hates Erica. "I change every five minutes who I hate," she says. Dana's mad about Erica jumping up and down in the backyard after HoH competition.

Jee's mad because they didn't do what he wanted them to do when he was HoH; Erica would already be gone. Dana says she didn't know if she could trust them.

Now they're making fun of the Alliance, saying they are having more fun in the backyard and the Alliance is playing some boring game.

Now they make fun of Erica crying after Dave left. "She's a f*cking actress," Jun says.

Dana says Erica and Jack would be up their "f*cking asses" if one of them (members of the Dark side - Jee, Jun, Dana, Justin, Robert) wins HoH and she hates that.

Jun and Ali going to talk in HoH room NT

Jul 31 2003 02:50, Thu max1204   Link
Jun and Ali's talk
They are in a lockdown, the loudspeaker says.

Jun says the other Dark Side members will think she's campaigning against them, but she's not.

Ali says they all know how they stand and it's stupid to fight about it. She says that she knows Dana hates her, and that's why she doesn't like her. She says as a person she's "pretty cool," but Dana did lie to her face. She says she feels Dana will go after her.

Jun says Dana hates Nate more than Ali.

Jee and Robert don't like her because of Dana, Ali says. Jun says she's not going to tell Ali Dana likes her because it's not true.

Ali says that Jack and Erica think Jun is "the brains" behind the other side's operation. Jun says she's not "the brains" but she the "f*ckin level-head in the group." Jun admits that she campaigned against Dave because he was the bigger threat.

Ali says none of her allies hate Jun; they just view her as a threat.

Ali says her other allies want her to put up Jun and Justin
Because they're the biggest threats. Jun says the only thing about that is that Dana will go after Ali. "Everyone is just playing for themselves right now," Jun says. She says Erica and Jack "play both sides." They come to the Dark Side and say stuff like "Nathan's stabbing them in the back" and they don't feel like Nate and Ali can be trusted.

Ali asks Jun whether she is on the other side now. Jun says she told the Diary Room she's playing week to week. She'd like to make alliances but...

Jee interrupts...

J: At the same time, as far as making friendships, it's not good.

Jun says she'd never nominate Dana, but she would vote her out, and she says she told Dana that to her face, and Dana said the same. As far as the Stooges, they will stick to each other, Jun says.

Jun says like she told the Diary Room, "I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to play the game." She says she feels as long as she doesn't nominate anyone, she feels she hasn't made any enemies.

Ali asks if there's anyone Jun would want to put up. She goes through different scenarios.

She says if Jun and Dana go up and one of the Stooges wins, they won't use the veto. But if one of the Stooges goes up and one of the Stooges wins the veto, they will use it. Dana and Jun won't sacrifice each other for the Stooges, and vice versa, Jun says.

J: Ultimately, you earned it (HoH), you deserve it...but ultimately it's your choice.

Ali says it's hard not to play personal because...
everyone was being a "f*cking *****" last week except for Dave. Jun wonders if Dave was pissed at her. Ali says Dave was mad at Jun's group.

Ali says she doesn't know; the only one she's not considering is Nate; Erica and Jack aren't even ruled out. She says all the other ones need to come talk to her (to lessen their chances of being nominated). She says Dana shouldn't bother, and Jun says more or less don't hold your breath.

J: I guess all five of us are under the impression that it could be any one of us...so we are like (we'll just let you) make your decision.

Jun says Ali shouldn't expect her people to come talk to her. She says she should consider if she can trust Erica and Jack's word.

Jun says she would consider putting Nate up on the block next week if she's HoH because he's a strong competitor. But Ali says she wouldn't want that. Jun asks if she's comfortable with Nate being in the house because he's such a strong player, and she says she's ok with it.

Ali says she doesn't want to do the meeting until tomorrow afternoon so she doesn't have to think about it much tonight.

Jun says she doesn't want to jump from group to group (it would look bad, she implies).

Conversation is breaking up now and Nate comes in.

Ali recounts conversation with Jun to Nate
She tells him about Jun not promising to put Nate up if she gets HoH but she won't put Ali up if Ali doesn't put her up. They say they pretty much have their minds made up.

Dana is going up, Nate says, and Justin is going up. If one is saved by the veto, Jun can go up.

Ali says Nate needs to win HoH next week, so start studying.

Ali just lied to Nate...
She told Nate that JUN proposed to not put Ali on the block if she wins HOH, but she couldn't promise about not putting Nate on.

It was Ali who did the proposal.

Jul 31 2003 03:06, Thu max1204 ParentRootLink
Not true
Ali didn't really propose it; she was playing the "what if" game to see what Jun's response was (to test her).

Jul 31 2003 03:07, Thu Anonymous ParentRootLink
However, she said that it was Jun's proposal...which it wasn't. NT

Jul 31 2003 03:10, Thu JulieH ParentRootLink
Absolutely true. Alison suggested it NT

Jul 31 2003 03:13, Thu max1204 ParentRootLink
To clarify
When Ali was talking to Jun, Ali asks Jun if she would put Nate up. Jun says yes she would. Then when Ali is talking to Nate about the conversation, she says Jun would put Nate up -- Jun wouldn't promise Ali that Nate would be safe; Jun would only agree to not nominate Ali.

(Ed. note: The way I interpreted Jun-Ali conversation about Nate first was that Ali might want Nate to go up. But as the conversation progresses, it seems that she's just testing Jun to see if Jun would put Nate up, which she would. Like I said, Ali was playing the "what if" game to get the truth out of Jun but making it sound like she was contemplating nominating Nate or having someone else do it for her.)

In the a chat between Jun and Ali,
Ali proposed a deal that if she didn't nominate Jun this week, Jun wouldn't nominate Ali if she became HOH. Jun questioned if that was just for one week (Yes) and then asked if Ali meant that Jun could not nominate both Nat and Ali, or just Ali. Ali agreed that the deal was just for her, and implied that she wouldn't be upset if Jun felt she had to nominate Nat; she almost seemed to encourage it. Jun accepted the deal. So, Ali proposed a deal between her and Jun, but Jun filled in the details re Nat and the duration of the deal. Jun has the right to nominate Nat, but did not commit that she would do so. The deal costs Jun nothing in that it is only a limit on her if she wins HOH next week (which she has no intention of doing), but it gets her off the hook this week and tells her that Ali is willing to sacrifice Nat. Jun wins on the exchange, but, at no point did I hear Ali say that she would not nominate Jun this week. The deal only takes effect ~IF~ Ali doesn't nominate Jun this week.

Jul 31 2003 03:05, Thu max1204   Link
Ali says she'd never put Nate up
Ali continues to recount her conversation with Jun. She's not leaving anything out.

Nate says he wouldn't trust Jun because she's strong. He says he'd "almost" want to put her up, and Ali echoes that. He says Jun goes up if he gets HoH. He wants to "scare the hell out of Jun" if he was HoH, and Ali should do it too. Ali wonders about doing that, but Nate interjects saying Justin must go, then they can recruit Jee. He says if Justin's gone, they (remaining Stooges) will come to them.

Erica comes in. Nate says he's ready to go to bed, but he's staying in HoH room.

as i get here, Jee walks in

Jee (to Jun) "you ate my FOTHing cheesecake.

Jun "i did not

Jee "you put Jack's name on it and ate it

Jun "where would i get Jack's sticker... you f&ggot

Jee leaves

Jun explains that she would like to be in an alliance til the end, but she isn't. she is playing week to week. the only thing she has promised is not to nom Dana. says she won't nom or vote for dana

ali says won't?

Jun says, um, won't nom, but would vote

Jun says that the 5 have only made small promises. Dana and Jun would veto each other. the boys would veto each other. but the girlz won't nom boyz and boyz won't nom girlz

ali explains that the only one in the entire house that is safe is nate. he's the only one that has been nice to her. tells jun that dave was nice to her too, talked to her til 4am last nite. she says it's hard not to play personal now.

Jun understands

Ali says it would be good for everyone to talk to her. even justin. jun tells her justin prob won't talk to her. ali says whoever doesn't talk to her is in trouble. except dana, it won't matter if dana tried. jun says dana prob won't try

ali offers jun a deal if she doesn't nom her, she will be safe if jun gets hoh. jun asks if she could put up nate. ali hesitates

jun says the doesn't want to look like someone who switches from side to side each week. they wrap up their talk, as nate comes in

ali explains their talk to nate. tells him jun wants to put him up if he gets hoh. tells him about poss deal. nate says he wouldn't trust jun. she thinks she's just gonna slide in thru to the end. [ali doesn't look convinced] nate says that just has to go. he thinks maybe she should nom jun too, just to scare her. thinks she's had it too easy.

erika comes to door to get help with her overalls, and ali goes, leaving nate in HOH. he tells her to do whatever she wants as she leaves.

[i come in on the middle of this]

justin talking about wanting to be put up. he'd rather be the first one of them to go, if someone has to go

jun tells them she told ali dana and she would veto each other and the guys the same. rob says that's no secret

dana says that may be the only reason she won't put me up

dana says right now it's 100% that i'm going up

jun mentions jack/erika and that she hates them

jun says she told them stuff bout jack/erika. didn't specifically say anything they said just told her they said bad sh*t

dana says she prob could go talk to ali. jun says she doesn't want you to

jee says she prob hates your guts. it's very personal between you two

dana says she wants to ask if you want me as your friend or enemy

dana says she has to redeem herself and put me up

justin "she's not that kind of person. don't be surprised if she doesn't put you up"

jun says ali will talk to her again tomorrow

they all agree to save themselves

jee "whoever is in this group who can better their position, do it!"

rob "but i'm not gonna lie" and something about not making promises

jun "erika has taken her focus off of rob"

dana says it's good you guys worked it out.

rob "she shoulda FOTHing went... it irks me the way she plays this game"

[all talk at once, don't catch a lot of it]

jun says in HT she said she's a forgiving person. [begin patented jun whisper, so missing details]

Jee "jack has to FOTHing realize he's FOTHing...."

rob "jack doesn't care, he doesn't care"

they agree jack is playing the smartest. dana accuses erika of bouncing around.

dana "jack's a great guy and all that but he's a FOTHing scumbag"

dana looking out, sees jack in mirror, w/nate. conflicting comments about jack continue

jee "is ali alone in the room"

Jun "she might be working on her outfit"

jun says erika said to ali "the comeback kid! that's you ali!"

all gasp in [what eppears to be] utter shock that erika is playing her that way. comments like that's her game. that's her way

justin "if we got it we'd be going after ali"

talk about how jack/erika are playing it safe, knowing that the other teams are butting heads.

Jee "but, you know, assumptions can only go so far in the house...you never know.. you never know... at least we stuck it out so far in this game"

more group talk. jack is well spoken. jee comments that he stomped his foot when he was HOH cause they were trying to pursuade him. [jee's batteries are dying, static in and out]

Justing is cuddling with jun during all of this, his head on her chest, she is stroking the side of his head

jun "ali thinks for herself, so no matter what they say she'll play it her way"

all agree

jun "even while i was sitting there i was thinking what the FOTH am i doing there??"

jee and dana think they could kiss ali's ass right now. jun tells dana she doesn't want her to

jun tells justin she wants him to go in there so bad. justin says if she asks me i wouldn't say no, but i'm not going in on my own

jun whispers again [argh... how did she get so good at that]

jee "the one thing i'm happy about is that she's miserable still. she's FOTHing still miserable, so is nathan"

dana congratulates herself on pulling that on them last week

rob seems to hear something, talk stops while he looks around

jun "i'm not gonna sit in that chair if i'm evicted and blame people. why do you wanna be seen as a petty person. within the house... but why do you wanna seem so petty"

jun thinks dana made a great move in her reply to julie during the show. the first response was the same she would have done, but she cut it short. says it was a good move.

Jee "this room is FOTHing hot. it's FOTHing fabulous. it's dark. you can see out"

dana now talking bout her julie interview. how she knew they couldn't cut it out cause it was live

just asks what she said, and FOTH!

jun says good night. justin asks where she's going. she says she's going to her bed.

Ali just either spit or blew in Nate's face
She is accusing him of moping and calls him a "spoiled rotten brat." She says he was moping because he didn't win HoH. "We are the biggest competitors in this house right now...They're scared sh*tless," Ali says. Ali says they will jump at the first chance to get them out. Nate's pissed at Jun for being "damn traitor" because she wants to put him up.

Ali says Jun has no one when Dana goes. She says Dana hates Nate more than her. Ali says she thinks she should put up Dana and Justin, but vote out Dana; it's not emotional, she says. Justin hasn't won anything; Dana's won twice. She says that she thinks the Stooges will go after Erica and Jack anyway, not them.

"Dana is the driving force behind them; she's the anger in this house," Ali says. "She's brought a lot of anger and tension to this house."

Nate says he's "leaning towards that way too." He says he knows they're going to put Dana and Justin up, and put Jun's key last to scare her. Ali says she wants to put Jack and Erica's keys near the end to make sure it doesn't look obvious. Nate says no. They want to give Jee a good key position.

Ali warns Nate to lower his voice. He protests at first, but then she convinces him to be quieter because the Dark Side is right outside.

"I know this whole damn house is going after me next week," Nate says after Ali says he's more stressed than her.

Justin intimidates Nate
He's the only one in the house who does. Dana doesn't intimidate her. Nate says Justin is due to win something.

Ali calls Jun a bitch.

Nate says he sees Dana and Jun "after my ass" (and not in a sexual way). He says Dana has a lot of influence in this house, and he says she has to make a decision.

Nate suggests making a deal with Justin to secure their place in the house for one week. He says he knows Justin wants Dana gone, too. He says put Justin and Dana up, and "we'll go from there." He says Dana will start campaigning to save her ass right away.

He says he'll put Jun up next week if he gets HoH.

N: It just pisses me off that Jun thinks she can snake her way through this (game).

Nate is upset that he is the biggest target in the house, and Ali says Dana is the "driving force." Nate agrees and says they would be "safer" if they took Dana out. "She has a hate against me. I don't know why she hates me." He conjectures that it's because he used the veto or because he wouldn't fall for her sexual advances.

He says she's really ugly, not only physically but her personality, too. "She talks like a guy" cussing all the time, Nate says.

Nate says he trusts Jack and Erica, "I really do," he says. He says he trusts Jack more. He says he thinks he can turn Justin and Dana against each other. He tells Ali "we've got to put them up no matter what."

As a side note, they are both in the HoH bed. Nate had told Jack he'd sleep in there with Erica and Jack tomorrow night.

nate "yeah, for you and me. cause he wants dana gone too. i think once dana is on the block, she's gonna start campaigning, i really do."

they think that putting dana up, and not justin will split them up. he is amazed that jun can't make a promise not to put him up. he says if he gets HOH next week, he's putting her and justin up.

nate "it pisses me off that jun thinks she can just snake it thru"

nate is amazed that even with ali as HOH, everyone still wants him out.

nate "except jack and erika"

nate talking bout dana hates her guts. maybe cause he called her out on the veto. probably because he wouldn't hook up with her. says he told her she's ugly. ali asks if he really thinks she's ugly. he says yeah, she's hideous. talks about how she talks like a guy

ali asks nate if he really trusts jack and erika. nate says "i do, i do" he trusts jack more than he ever did dave. ali says he (dave) liked me. whatever we do, we gotta talk to jack and erika

nate thinks that now that dana's reign is over, we can talk to jee and rob, and maybe justin. ali wants him to talk before she puts two people up. nate says no, put them up. but we can talk to justin even when he's up

nate gets up to turn off a light. ali says she wants to listen to some music. nate climbs in to the bed with her.

feed switches to sand box. f3 is dana/justin body to body in their bed. sand box is jack and erika, audio just now kicks in

jack talking bout how he [who?] thinks we are driven by so much emotion we are just gonna nominate dana as revenge. erika starts to talk, and my feed freezes

text in [] is my comments/opinions

it seems erika's plan is to stay close to "the kid" (ali) cause she is so emotional

jack likes that plan, and will talk to her too

erika thinks nathan wants justin out too.

jack says yeah, there is some kind of idea that they have some "jock code" but that justin would go for the jugular

erika thinks justin didn't go for HOH this week

jack likes their plan. thinks it is smart. now talking bout HOH comp, and he said he told someone that he knew it would be 7 that would win this thing. he can't seem to remember who he was talking to, but he def knew it would be 7 that wins it. says nate is frustrated that he practiced so hard, and he didn't do well. nathan and he had a terrible rehearsal. they only got one.

erika chuckles

jack "they were, for the actual competition tonite, the cylinders were lined up better. mine, for rehearsal, was kinda lined up different. 2nd rehearsal mine wasn't lined up right, but it didn't have any bearing"

ekika "there's an empty bed over there" [ED i sob at that]

jack tells her nate is coming over tomorrow

jack isn't sure that it's a good place for nate to sleep. when ali comes out of HOH, if she wants to come in, since he gets up all the time, maybe he could move to the bed closer to the door. he is talking about how there hasn't really been 4 in here, except that first night, when justin was in here. he says that's the night the blanket wore on him. was his worst nite here.

jack puts his glasses down. lies back in his bed

Jack "i figure david's gotten off a couple of times by now"

erika laughs

jack "i hope you don't sew yourself into a frazzle and get a bunch of crap"

erika is sitting in bed, working on her outfit

jack settles in to modified mummy position, with hand behind his head

erika chatters about her outfit.

competition talk

jack was watching nate the whole time. was thinking what the hell is wrong with you? he's competitive. he was down. it even affected his ping/pong game. he was off tonite. julie's commentary really helped him, since he knew that they had nate and ali's back, and ali was in the lead

erika thinks he is hard on himself. he thinks he shoulda had it. jack agrees.

they get quiet for a while

text in [] is my comments/opinions

dana and jun sharing a bed. justin was tossing alone in a sep bed on F3

dana and nate talking about korean culture. move on to chinese, with the limit on 2 kids [thought it was 1??] and how they want sons. dana asks if they still have that and what would they do, kill a daughter? what will they do if it's all men?

jun "the pastor at my church has 4 daughters and one boy, cause they wanted a boy, he wanted that boy so bad and he's a pastor and they aren't supposed to be like that. they say that boy come out, and they think he's so special, and he is smart, but he's (something physically wrong with his face) and some people think that that is payback for wanting a boy so bad"

dana asks where jun family is from. i think she said lower east side. they are in an apt, not a condo. they aren't like other korean parents. they don't care about a house. her parents took them on 2 vacations a year, and most koreans are all about work work work and they don't care about family. that's why she's like she is; they raised her to be independant, but she's not married and they don't like that. she was like why would you bring me to this country and give me everything and then expect me to just want to get married and have kids

dana pipes in that she has similar family members. she's not married yet, she's working on her career [career? she makes 450/week in NYC and that's a career???]

dana talking about her youngest cousin is like 12, so at the holidays the family is like "we need kids, where's the kids" and one of her cousins just got engaged and that's great, cause he'll have kids. he's of course wonderful cause he's a man, but then he'll be better cause he will have kids

dana can not wait to invite jun over when the game is over. it will be awesome.

talking about friends. juns best friend is Nami. she's so cute. [blah, blah, blah]

justin is restless and tosses in his bed

dana and jun talking bout family and friends. how outside the house they have friends that love them without condition.

jun talking about her job, and if she was still with jee she could never have that.

dana now talking about how cool this experience is gonna be. her mom said even if you go for a week and leave, you can still say you did it. both jun and dana think that at least they are showing themselves. they have a personality, and you can see it. someone like nate, you don't even know who they are. jun is amazed that people can be like that. dana says they are just a mask, covered by skin

jun whispering now [out of consderation for the ones sleeping, or cause she's talking about the others??]

dana just said something about having "fried shitballs for dinner, with a bowl of urine. hope you enjoy it" jun says it's scary, dana agrees [no idea what the context is, due to whispers]

dana talking about making a hat for herself for the comp. jun asks when. dana says when you were talking to ali. says she was gonna make one for jun. thinks she left it on that thing in the kitchen, what do you call it? an island??

more friend talk and how jun has a friend with a beautiful kitchen who cooks up a storm [mentor for you, jun??]

back to whispers, so going back to quad

Jus says "We were together for 7 months. Obviously you have some good qualities, one or maybe 2". He laughs and says "Just kidding"

They talk about Nat. Ali says she will not put him up cause he saved her *ss. But after next week then thats it. She says she buttered right up to him cause he saved her *ss.

She says that she would not behave scandlously with him (Jus). She was just thinking that if she did put him up to fool everyone else so they wouldn't know they have and agreement. He again reminds her that then if he put her up later she can't get mad.

Ali ask if Jus would get mad if she got his girl friend out. He said no, he'll be more upset if she got Je or Robert.

They're kicking around combinations. Jus says he would not take Dana off with POV cause then she'd have to put in Je or Rob.
