Tuesday morning dawns early for the BB HGs—or, at least, early
for them if not early for the rest of us. Around quarter after nine, BB issues a
reminder that today is the day the HGs must vote in the DR. Early risers, as
usual, are Jack and Jun, followed by David who heads outside to the pool, dunks
his head in, and then wanders over to the hammock to chill until voting time.
When Dana wanders out, he takes his opportunity before the votes to work his
magic: taking her aside, David tells her that not only does everyone believe she
is double-crossing them, but that even the Stooges have agreed to make her their
number one target for the following week. She is understandably upset (“I am so
mad that everyone was playing me all week!”), but David gives her the chance to
“redeem” herself. He tells her very simply that they plan to vote out Michelle
instead of Erika, and that even without Dana’s vote, they have five votes—enough
to evict Michelle. However, they would prefer to have Dana’s vote, as well, so
that her “loyalty” to them could be proved; a 6-2 vote would also send a clearer
message to the Stooges that they simply don’t have the numbers to be pulling the
power trips they’ve been having fun with for the past week. He also offers that
Dana go to Jun to have everything he has told her confirmed. When all is said
and done, Dana agrees to vote with their original alliance, but warns that if
anyone is messing with her, she will be “***** pissed” next week (or rather
tomorrow after the HOH competition as new weeks are generally defined in the BB
shack). She further threatens David, “If I go up next week, I’ll kill you
David.” He drolly responds, “That’s fine.”
Also interesting to note
about their confab: David admits to Dana that he asked the Stooges to let him
use the veto to then have Jee nominate her, but he qualifies it by saying that
he only did it to feel the Stooges out—to see where she stood with them; they
turned down the idea, he said, because they’d target Dana ~next~ week. What is
laughable about this is that David actually had every intention of getting Dana
out this week if he could, whereas Jee has readily admitted in the DR that,
despite what he tells Dave, he wants to keep Dana around because he thinks he
can use her.
As soon as their conversation breaks up, Dana heads to the
bedroom where Justin is, sits on the edge of the bed next to him and holds her
head in her hands. Justin asks her if everything is all right and she replies,
“No…yeah…never mind. Man, just when I thought I had this place figured out… Man,
this is ~not~ a good week to be premenstrual! I hate BB.” Way to create
suspicion, Dana. To her credit, however, when Justin asks her what is going on,
she only answers, “Nothing.” Soon after, she makes a beeline for Jun, who
corroborates Dave’s story/plan in whole. She listens to it all again and then
mutters irritably, “My problem with it is that no one told me this week. It’s
irrelevant, but…it’s there.” Once Jun leaves, it must be time for some quiet
contemplation? Ha! Dana heads right over to the next person who will hear her
bitch—and then again and again and again. Dana is one of those people who needs
to draw everyone around her into her misery to try to make herself feel better.
Inevitably it won’t work; it only makes everyone, including herself, all the
more miserable. Indeed, it’s not long before we see her begin to cry.
The DR votes have been taking place all throughout this and Dana is
called for her turn around 10:30am. It looks like Dave’s plan worked—she had no
time to talk to the Stooges before casting her vote and really, is she so stupid
to go against what is clearly the majority? I guess we’ll find out. As Dana
takes her turn in the DR, Alison and Nathan laugh about her “breakdown” (because
she cried a bit) and how stupid she must feel. Seriously, as much as I can’t
stand Dana, listening to these two be so cruel and disgusting makes them no
favorites in my eyes.
Meanwhile over in the kitchen, Jun is telling
Dana about a sex dream she had. Apparently everyone in her room heard her having
it because she made some, um, interesting sounds during it. She says frankly,
“I’m telling you, I need sex.” The morning is sprinkled with jokes about Jun’s
“orgasm,” and she takes it all in fairly good humor. The two women head off to
one of the beds and lie down together where Dana begins to cry again. Not only
is she pre-menstrual and the stress of the game-play is getting to her, but the
PB&J diet is breaking her down. “I am miserable, ***** miserable…” Jun
attempts to soothe her by saying that the other HGs had to keep her in the dark
for strategy reasons, but Dana won’t be consoled so easily (it’s not so much
that she is angry, but sad). They discuss Erika, who they agree isn’t “so bad
after all.” Dana in particular second guesses herself because she never gave
Erika a second chance. Dana also states that her crying-stint from earlier that
morning (the one Alison and Nathan took so much joy in making fun of) was “all
an act to get people to feel sorry” for her.
Alison joins the little
chat-party in the bedroom (Michelle joined earlier) and tries to reassure Dana
that no one will go after her this coming up week. Dana says, however, “I’m not
stupid.” She knows that no matter how she voted, she would end up looking like
an “*****” to one of the groups (“I’m going to look like a ***** bipolar
psychopath”). It was a test, and she didn’t “***** like it.” By this point
Alison and Dana are alone, and Dana remarks that David is now the best player in
the house (her words: “***** Columbo”). Nathan simply wasn’t “man enough to take
the reins” and he made too many deals with too many people. Once down to seven
(in their ideal plan: Alison, Dana, David, Erika, Jack, Jun, and Nathan), they
wonder which side will get Nathan: Alison, Dana and Jun or David, Erika and
Jack? They think they could get him, but being as apt as he is play all sides,
they consider taking Erika over and making it four women against three men. Of
course, all this is just idle speculation right now.
Over the course of
the day, the choice of feeds generally alternate between Dana talking about how
crabby she is and warning people individually not to cross her, and members of
the original alliance pleasurably contemplating what a surprise Michelle’s
eviction will be for the Stooges. Just after noon, “Erika goes to the hammock to
sit and watch the tortoises in their pen. Is it just a coincidence that both
come over to the fence at her feet and try to get through it? I didn't see her
with any food for them. Erika just sits and ponders the meaning of life; them in
their little pen, her in her little house - both dependent on the whims of
others for their continued existence. Perhaps not.” (That quote is courtesy of
Phantom, one of our all-time best updaters!) Most of the HGs take naps. Some
play cards. Some strategize: Jee wants Alison and Nathan up next, with Alison
going (if the Stooges have their way, the last six HGs will all be male). Some
engage in delusions: Robert believes that David and Jack won’t mess with them;
he will feel comfortable if either of them gets the HOH (ahhhhh, thanks for the
laugh Robbie!). Some are driven by their boredom to strange antics: David snorts
into his microphone, sings various little ditties, and plays with a stuffed bear
and some of the rubber ducks. Eventually his singing provokes a FOTH which lasts
close to fifteen minutes.
When we come back, David and Nathan are
chatting, and all us feed-freaks enjoy a chuckle when David tells Nathan that
there are people (*ahem*) who actually type out everything they say and post it
on the internet for other people to later read. While Nathan thinks this was
pretty cool, David wonders, “Who does that?”
Some interesting bits from
the course of the afternoon and evening to note: David has had to give himself
an IV. Ew (that’s freaky for those of us who hate needles). Alison mimics her
brother’s impression of a “retard” and Jun and Michelle laugh at it. The three
then fall to talk about their brothers’ drunken antics, one of which includes
Alison stepping in her brother’s urine beside his bed on Christmas morning. Ew
again. Jee, Justin and Robert remarkably believe that they have this game sewn
up. They talk about the prize money and how they will share it as if they have
already won it. Michelle, meanwhile, like, says she is, like, the youngest
person ever on BB, you know? And though she, like, tries not to think of her
parents and like, tries to be independent, it’s, like, difficult, you know?
(Actually, that is sort of sweet.)
To pass the time, games are the name
of the day. After the guys finish playing a particular game of marbles and try
to think of another game to compete in, Jun jokes (paraphrased), “Why don’t you
just get a ruler, measure your dicks and get it over with?” Jee responds to
this, obviously not getting her point, that men don’t actually do that; “do you
girls go around measuring your *****?” The HGs then choose to make toys out of
condoms by blowing them up or filling them with water; David pops some of them
and then attempts unsuccessfully to stretch one over his head (à la Howie
Mandell according to one poster).
A bit later, Jun lounges outside in
the hot tub and says this year’s cast of BB4 doesn’t measure up to previous
years, and if she were watching at home, she would be disappointed (“I’d be
like, what the *****, what is with all these high-school kids?” BB goes to
FOTH…lol!). Robert, however, takes this opportunity to ooze some charm and
grease Jun up: “You are smart, fun, good casting.” Over by the pool, Justin
cannonballs into the water, and when Jee follows suit, he almost misses the
pool! Jun reacts, “Julie would have said, ‘HGs, as you know, Jee had to be
hospitalized for severe head trauma.’” Justin drenches David, who is sitting in
the hammock, as he jumps in the pool, but Dave only laughs and says that Justin
got him “good.”
More notes of interest from the evening: The HGs get
some new T-shirts for tye-dying and some paper to use for origami; they later
try their hand at the Japanese art. Robert mentions to Jee that he has “had”
over 100 women; Jee says he has had about 30. “Yeah, but I am older than you,”
Robert says. Jee gets a little soused. Some of the ridiculous things to spew out
of his mouth: “As the weeks go by, I am getting tougher and tougher.” “It was
meant to be, kid; you, me and Justin hooking up like this in the house.” He
blathers on about how proud their families will be of them when they win
everything and will be chanting, “The Dream Team, the Dream Team, the Dream
Team!” Oooookay, Jee. I’d say that anyone listening to this must be humoring
him by agreeing, but it is Robert—and he probably believes it, too.
The
day is winding down and the HGs are readying for bed earlier than usual in
anticipation for the early vote tomorrow morning. Alison, when talking to Jun
and Robert before bed, tells them that she will head to bed “as soon as they
stop lovemaking in (her) room” (referring to Dana and Justin). Robert asks her
if she is jealous, but she answers, “Justin is a nice guy. I don’t get jealous.
If I did, it would have been awhile ago. Been there, done that.” Dana and Justin
are, in fact, getting fairly close in the Blue Room. They are massaging each
other and joking about “***** each other.” But don’t think they are the only
ones to have any fun! Other HGs wander in over time, and Alison soon lies down
to allow Robert to massage her (ew, ew, ew!). They all joke about Jun’s dream
again, but Jun turns the tables when she makes fun of Jee and how he pleasures
himself… 1-2-3-4-5, 1-2-3-4-5. Could there be some validity to the joke? Jee
sure gets upset at it.
Dana, Jee and Justin all admit that they enjoy a
little bit of herbage once in awhile. Or many awhile if you are Jee who smokes
at least four times a week or Justin who “goes through an ounce in three weeks
sometimes with the help of (his) friends.”
Strategy talk continues into
the night, but since the votes are cast, it mostly has to do with how the
Stooges will react to Michelle’s eviction on the morrow. Jack thinks that they
can weave a story about having promised Erika not to vote her off in a deal made
the previous week, while David doesn’t think that there is anything they can do
to mollify the Dream Team (ha! I love it. They really are dreamers). As for
Dana, they believe that she is firmly on their side now and look forward to her
competing like a madwoman for the HOH (these might be some premature
congratulations, in my opinion; just because Dana was forced to vote one way
this day does not mean she won’t head right back to the Stooges if she wins
HOH).
Eventually, over some lame jokes (What is Bruce Lee’s favorite
drink? Wah-tah! What’s the difference between a bonus and a boner? Michelle will
blow your bonus), the HGs snuggle into bed and drift off into soft,
inconsequential chatter and eventually sleep. Another day is done, and tomorrow
so too will a HG be done. Will Jee get his way and will Erika be evicted? Or
will sweet, naïve Michelle be taken advantage of in order to send a message
about numbers?
Well, you already know. Heh. And so do I, but in my
summary world, tomorrow is still yet to come…
