It’s Monday morning, so get up and get a move on it! Or stay in
bed until 10:30am when BB finally decides to give the HGs a wake-up call.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all our Mondays started that way? The morning falls to
the usual: tooth-brushing, new battery-acquiring, coffee-making, and
breakfast-eating. Oh, what a life.
As the late morning dies into the
afternoon, not much happens in the BB house. Erika does a bit of laundry. Alie
tans. Robert checks the pool and the hot tub. Jun tans. Erika heads into the DR
and is in there long enough that the other HGs speculate that she is with the
“shrink.” Alie does her laundry. Erika tans. Jun pokes around in the kitchen.
Erika lounges in the hot tub. Erika lets the HGs know that she actually saw a
physician—apparently she has a “spot” on her throat that she wanted looked at.
Erika plucks her eyebrows.
Three o’clock and the day trudges onward. The
HGs eat burgers prepared by Jun and Robert (on the BBQ) and talk about how
they’d love to watch their competitions on TV. Alie especially loves the burger
Robert grilled for her—not overdone with cheese and lots of ketchup. Erika has
corn on the cob. They discuss the blimp ride from yesterday. Alie mentions that
the exterior to the part of the blimp they sat in was as thin as the doors to a
Jeep, and Erika comments, “Like a tuna can—so they can fly right up.” They
discuss past food competitions and having to eat PB&J (they also mention a
gnome competition and Marcellas; I was obviously away for this, so is there
anyone who could pm me and let me know, did Marcellas actually enter the
house?). Alie flips out when she can’t find the bug spray and a cricket is
nearby. She rummages through the house to find her insecticide, but to no avail.
Alie tells the group as they munch on lunch that she still doesn’t know
how she is going to vote this week and that she is sorry to be in the position
she is in. No one says much, and as soon as Alie and Jun are alone, Alie asks
Jun if “they” bought it. Jun answers, yes, it seemed unplanned, and Alie
replies, “Good, we don’t want either one of them to know she is going yet.” The
HGs chatter about the cities they live in, about cab fares in New York, and
about Jee and Jun’s relationship and how she fell back into the old habit of
correcting him when he spoke. Robert says that he wants to lose more body fat,
and Alie and Erika tell him that he is already lean enough.
The evening
arrives and the house is divided into four: Alison lounges in the hot tub, Erika
shoots hoops and then trims her hair, Jun is curled up in bed, and Robert rests
in the hammock. It takes the arrival of dinner to rouse them from their
languorous activities. Tonight it’s salad, garlic cheese bread, clam chowder,
shrimp scampi, stuffed filet of salmon, lobster tails, pecan pie and carrot
cake. Can we say yum?! Around this time there is a FOTH and when we come back,
the HGs are talking about themselves as seen on TV—apparently they saw footage
of themselves on the screen. They all agree that everyone looks better on TV
except for Nathan. More video plays on the screen now, and we get to watch them
watching various competitions: the Duckball competition, the Burger King
Paratroopers competition, the Spin-to-Win luxury competition, Niagara Balls POV
competition, the Foam competition, the Fashion Fire Pit, etc. The women swoon
over David and remark how handsome he is; Alie bashes Dana and calls her “ugly”
on TV; everyone comments on how strong Jee’s accent seems on television; the
women scream when the foam competition appears on the screen (since they had to
get naked for it); they laugh at clips of Erika wearing her pink hat before it
was incinerated—basically the HGs have a loud, cheerful time as they watch the
screen and see past energetic days come to life. The only frowning moments come
from Alie and Jun who both think they look fat: Jun says, “I need to diet. My
face looks like a big, fat dumpling.” Jun also sums up that she is portrayed as
the bitch of the show: “snotty and materialistic.” Erika and Robert both tell
her she is not, that she is funny, and Jun thanks them.
It’s nine
o’clock now and the HGs have dispersed as following: Jun is jumping rope, Alie
and Robert are working on weights, and Erika is wandering about doing nothing
much in particular. An hour later, Jun and Alie jump some jumping jacks
together, Erika shoots some hoops, and Robert jams to his music in the HOH room.
Yet another hour later, some excitement finds its way into the house as Alie
goes on a spider-hunt: she finds one outside, heads inside to grab the bug
spray, and gets assaulted by another one (“It almost jumped into my mouth!”).
Soon after a double count of arachnicide is performed, the HGs watch the video
of the competitions again. BB has fun this time rewinding some of the funnier
moments and replaying them much to the HGs’ delight.
And so the night
goes. After midnight, the step-sisters tumble into bed and drift into Dreamland
while the exes stay up a bit later and let their conversation wander and roam.
Erika misses her hat. Robert is glad he won America’s Choice both times (the
letter and the phone call). He misses his daughter. Erika thinks she looks “tall
and lanky” on television and Robert agrees. At half past one, they finally
decide it is time to head to sleep, and as they snuggle into their separate beds
and join their fellow HGs in Slumberville, another BB day is completed. Sorry it
was such a short, uneventful one, but I can only work with what I am given.
Adieu.
