The day of voting arrives finally! It is Tuesday and as early
as nine in the morning, BB reminds the HGs that today is the day to vote the
ManTroll out—so go on and get yer bums outta bed! Okay, so they didn’t really
say that, but in my gleeful celebration of the day, let’s pretend, shall we?
As breakfast gets underway and the HGs prepare to vote, not much really
happens, but we do overhear Robert say to Jack, “She doesn’t want it to be a
tie, so we’re making sure of that.” Jack laughs and says, “Oh, we’re very
accommodating.” It appears the glee outside of the house is well-matched within.
Nathan joins in on the happiness as he tells Jack over cereal, “Tomorrow is
going to be a good day. Dana will be gone and we’ll have HOH.” Okay, so he may
be a bit confident, but I won’t take that away from him today. Nope, confetti
and good cheer all around! Woohoo!
Um, er…okay. If you insist, I will
tame it down a bit. A bit, though, just a bit.
The day picks up some
speed as people get some food into their bellies, and early on Jack makes a
funny. Jun comes out on to the patio and asks, “What’s up?” Jack smiles, looks
at Erika and replies drolly, “I’m counting polka dots. I’ve been counting them
since I came in.” Having trouble understanding what he is referring to? Well, if
you were watching the feeds, you’d understand well enough as the camera zoomed
in slowly on Erika’s pink, polka-dotted bikini. Uh-hmm.
Meanwhile, over
in the kitchen, Dana displays why we have such a hard time liking her. Trying to
sound sincere, she tells Alison and Jun that she doesn’t want today to be “a day
of whispering.” Then, the second Alie leaves, Dana immediately leans over and
starts whispering crap about Alison to Jun. Now all you Dana defenders, can’t
you see how immersed in a big load of *****-hypocrisy this woman is? Can’t you
understand why we dance a jig of joy over her impending eviction? *Dance of
Joy!* *Dance of Joy!* Um, sorry. *Talking to myself:* Remember, Kimberly, tame
it down. Tame the glee down.
Well, it looks like Robert will spread the
joy for me. To Jun in the kitchen (where else would she be), he smirks, “I’ve
never seen the house so happy.” Jun, however, is understandably worried and
won’t be comfortable until she hears the words tomorrow that Dana is evicted and
she is safe. Still, it looks like she needn’t be so scared. The HGs frankly talk
about their goodbye messages to Dana and how they have to be nice, because it
wouldn’t be smart to risk a vote (because, you know, there’s no other reason to
be kind?!). Alison and Nathan meanwhile hang out in the HOH room and chat about
strategy while the votes are taking place. Alison wonders if this is the perfect
opportunity for Erika and Jack to turn on them, but Nathan says it is not—as
long as Alie and Nate are targets and Erika and Jack are not, they will stick
with them.
And so the morning goes. Dana and Justin play Quoridor to
kill time, and others later take their turns. Jun believes that Dana doesn’t
really care about her even though she has told her she wants Jun to make it to
the finals. Robert agrees and says, “She doesn’t give a ***** about you. I hope
I never see her again after tomorrow.” A couple of the women suntan. Dana
comments on how thin she is becoming and remarks that she is emaciated. When she
asks Robert how to spell that word, he replies, “e-m-a-n-c-i-t-a-t-e-d.” Maybe
he is getting confused with glee and is thinking of “emancipated” and how he
will be freed of Dana’s lunatic oppression tomorrow when she is gone. Heh.
Justin tells Robert that he has had a deal with Alison since Day Two. As
long as she doesn’t put them up (and she didn’t), they won’t put her up. The
deal lasts until Erika, Jack and Nathan are gone. Robert wants to know if they
should tell Jun about this deal (they’ve told her they want to take her to the
final five, but Jun always assumed this meant her, the Stooges and Dana, not
Alison), but Justin says they will only tell her when they need to. The two guys
then go on to talk about Dana and her relationship with Justin, and he admits to
Robert that he never considered himself “committed” to her—that it was only good
because it had “all the benefits of being with a girlfriend without the hassle
of a commitment.” He also says of Alison that, while it was “nice to screw her
once a week,” he didn’t want to make it “routine.” He doesn’t even consider her
his “ex.”
Robert devolves into Ratbert when sex is mentioned and delves
into the delusions that “chicks” will be all over them when they are out of the
house. He doesn’t think BB will show anything really crude or negative about
them, so “chicks” are going to want to “*****” them all the time. He says this
while banging his fist into his hand. Oh yeah, Robert, you sure have me turned
on. Oh baby, baby, *barf!*
*Shudder.*
The non-PB&J eaters of
the week have steak and grilled vegetables for lunch. Dana makes herself some
garlic bread and asks if anyone else wants some, but the HGs gobbling up their
steak only shake their heads no. Meanwhile, Erika and Robert have high-tailed it
outside of the house to get away from the smell of the food. Jun heads out there
and joins Robert, who takes this opportunity to tell Jun that he thinks Dana is
crazy: “I’m serious.” Jun only replies that Dana just needs affirmation all of
the time, that “she just can’t chill.” Erika jumps in with her opinion that Dana
has a lot of pent-up anger, and they all agree. She’s been uber-paranoid, too,
but somehow believes that the upcoming twist will involve her coming back. Dana
apparently thinks that she is just too big of a presence in the house for BB to
let go and told Robert not to be surprised if she was brought back and named
HOH. Furthermore, even if this doesn’t happen, she is so important that BB would
probably bring her back to be involved in the day-to-day shooting of the show.
And Robert thinks she is crazy because…?
Just now she walks outside and,
of course, everyone switches the topic of conversation. Given Dana’s big mouth
and penchant to ramble, it’s not a difficult task. Dana blathers on about how
upset she is they are out of breadcrumbs, that she is getting too skinny, etc.,
while no one really says anything to her but just watch her. They all break up
soon afterward and head inside where Jun has already gone to tidy up the
kitchen.
Afternoon chatter: According to the HGs, BB sprung the fact
that they’d be sequestered until the end if they made it into the final nine
~after~ they already signed their contracts. Jee was upset about this because he
didn’t have time to prepare for such a long stay, but as a poster pointed out,
if you hoped to win the show and stay to the end anyway, why wouldn’t you have
prepared for that possibility? Perhaps Jee is just a bit grouchy because of his
PB&J diet—it does appear to be getting to him in a bad way. At one point he
bites out, “I feel like a ***** Guinea Pig!” He also cusses more than usual and
bemoans the control BB has over them. I’d feel sorry for him if it weren’t,
well, the whole premise of the game, you know.
Dana and Justin cuddle in
bed. Dana tells Jee that he will miss her when she is gone, while Jee sits
nearby and calls Justin a “ho.” He advises that Justin should do what he needs
to do get “that stuff” out of his system before he settles down into a real
relationship. Jee seems to be getting a kick out of encouraging the two to get a
little dirty and when he tells Justin to “graze the nipple” (meaning Dana’s),
Justin complies. Jee further mutters that if he were single in bed with a “girl”
right now, he’d gladly mess around. The whole time he eagle-eyes every movement
that is occurring under the covers.
Over in other corners of the Hamster
House, Erika is describing her perfect man to the others. A not-very-modest
Nathan remarks after the description that it sounds a lot like him. Mostly Erika
just wants to be “centre stage,” and Alie agrees that she wants that, too. Erika
then describes her current boyfriend: All-American, 6’1” with blondish-brown
hair.
Just as the evening rolls around, the general lackadaisical and
calm day turns a bit feisty when Jee and Jun get into a verbal fight. Though the
particulars are unclear, it appears that Jee got mad at Jun when she laughed at
something he and Nathan were talking about. The two spar with loud voices, and
when it is all said and done, Jun laughs it off and says that Jee is only cranky
because of his diet and is taking it out on her. Jee heads outside and joins in
some basketball, and the blip that was a faint bit of interest is no longer.
And onto evening bits of interest (interspersed throughout constant
Dana-bashing on all fronts): Alie tells Robert that in her goodbye speech to
Jun, she said if Jun was seeing it, it meant Alie would be gone the week after
(meaning she knows Dana would come after her with a vengeance). Dana insists to
Jun that she is a compassionate person who cared too much for the Stooges and
Jun to turn on them, and that if she stayed in the house any longer she would go
nuts. While poster Fritomade refrains from saying anything about that last
comment, let me say the obvious: would go? Honey, you’d better be careful or
those grand dreams of Cancun may include a padded room and some fashion tips in
white, long-sleeved jackets from the local sanatorium. A bit later, over in the
hot tub, the impetus for the brief fight between Jee and Jun is revealed:
apparently Jee jokingly remarked that Nathan looked like a hobbit and Jun
started laughing. He took offence at this and told her to mind her own business,
and thus the argument. Um, my opinion only, but I ~do~ think the PB&J and
cutting back on cigarettes is getting to him.
The night trudges on and
there is chatter about the clothing they wear (not much compared to last year),
the heat of the summer, the weight they have lost or gained, etc. Justin finally
moves his clothes out of the Sandbox and Erika jokes, “So you’re not going to
spy on us anymore?” Nathan tells Justin that he might consider dating Michelle
outside of the house; though he generally dates older women than her, he
appreciates the fact that in dating a young woman, he could “shape her and form
her.” Justin finds his FBI shirt (the one Jack gave him) and realizes that David
did not, in fact, take it. Alie slips up in front of Dana when she asks Jun,
“Why are you packing everything?”
And so it goes. Some HGs play Spades.
Jee clips his fingernails. Dana and Jun pack. Alie eats cashews which Jun say
look like fetuses. Jee shows the HGs some card tricks, but gets nervous as the
others try to figure out how the tricks work. Justin eats ice cream from the
container. At about one in the morning, the HGs ready for bed. As Erika and Jack
head off to the Sandbox where they join their allies in some HOH-competition
preparation (studying supposed questions BB might ask), Dana and Justin settle
down in the LoveRoom to get down to some massaging. Jee and Robert chat outside
about how the POV works as Jee smokes his last cigarette for the day, and the
house settles into the final remnants of a long day. The few things the HGs talk
about as they tumble into bed are hardly worth noting, but I will mention that
Alie’s 23rd birthday is tomorrow; that Dana professes to be excited to be the
first one to leave and rejoin the world (misconception that she will be
sequestered in Mexico); and that Dana and Justin engage in some heavy petting
again.
It’s an early night as the HGs fall asleep before the clock
strikes 3:00am, and happily I make it an early night for myself, too (yeah,
three here, too, but considering I went to bed yesterday at seven in the
morning…it’s early for me).
Till tomorrow! And the eviction of the
ManTroll! Mwahahahahaha!
