NOTE: It is important to note that these are not the most recent updates. I am a court reporter and I write verbatim transcripts of conversations held between houseguests. I usually post in the morning while the houseguests are sleeping to give the readers something to read. Please always keep in mind that these are not current updates. I am only offering these transcripts as a way to get a better feel for what's going on in the house. I am a certified shorthand reporter and I am certifying that the following transcripts are true and correct to the best of my professional ability.
Below are all of the conversations I transcribed on August 22, 2005. I am now working on August 23. I am running behind because I had a big trial the past couple of days. I'll be adding August 23 conversations to the update boards throughout the day today, so if you want to see my transcripts, please do a search for my posts. I only post transcripts. I do not post short updates.

KITCHEN CONVERSATION - APRIL TELLING BEAU ABOUT HER CONVERSATION SHE HAD WITH JAMES THIS MORNING
APRIL: He goes, "I'm just thinking." And I'm like -- I was like, "You think too much." He goes, "It's healthy and it's good." And I said, "But that's what stressed your f*cking *ss out. And he goes, "Well, every part of a story is true, so I'm just putting a lot of people's stories together." And I'm like, "Shut the f*ck up."
(Janelle comes in and asks Beau if she can use the HOH bathroom. Howie has been in the downstairs bathroom for quite sometime.)
APRIL: Howie said, "Do not go in there."
JANELLE: I'm not. Oh, God, no.
(Janelle goes upstairs to use the HOH bathroom. Camera follows her upstairs to the HOH where Maggie and Ivette are.)
(Boring - Stopped writing.)
August 22, 2005 - 11:08 a.m. to 11:13 a.m.
OUTSIDE TABLE CONVERSATION BETWEEN MAGGIE, IVETTE AND APRIL. BEAU JOINS IN LATER.
IVETTE: Where is Beau? Did he say he wasn't going to come out?
MAGGIE: No, but he was like, "I can't get warm with my robe on."
IVETTE: Okay. Let me see. Let me close the door, then, just in case. [Ivette walks to sliding glass door to close it so no one listens to them. She spots James coming towards the door.]
APRIL: He went upstairs.
IVETTE: Hey. We'll be outside.
MAGGIE: Was that Beau?
IVETTE: No. It was James. I no longer do chess.
APRIL: Bullsh*t.
MAGGIE: Do you no longer enjoy it?
BEAU: Nope.
IVETTE: I do enjoy it. I just get p*ssed that I can't -- I don't have the skill to think a couple steps ahead, and when I do think a couple steps ahead, f*cking James ruins it.
MAGGIE: It's really, like, nice to know that someone from -- your friend is HOH. It makes the week, like, so much easier. You know what I mean? I feel like --
APRIL: It's like no worries?
MAGGIE: Yeah. There's no -- I'm not sitting here, like, "What if he's backdooring me?" Like, do you know what I mean? It's just a great feeling.
I cut my gums, you guys.
IVETTE: Hmmm.
APRIL: Your brush was -- did you get -- use a new toothbrush or something?
MAGGIE: No. I -- I did something, like, eating or something, and then I hit it again with my toothbrush last night. Gums take forever to heal. They say they heal faster because they're highly vascular, like, a huge amount of blood flow goes through the gums.
APRIL: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: But it feels like they take forever to heal.
APRIL: You need to just put a little bit of hydroperoxide (phonetic, meant hydrogen peroxide) on it. It feels so great. It heals it so quick.
MAGGIE: (Disgusted look on her face.)
APRIL: Don't swish it around in your mouth, but just get a little dab and --
IVETTE: I did. That's when -- how I heal my mouth.
APRIL: Yeah.
MAGGIE: Ouch.
APRIL: It doesn't hurt. Do you hear that?
MAGGIE: What?
IVETTE: What?
MAGGIE: Chainsaw?
APRIL: Never mind. You're not hearing it. There's voices. (Writer's Note: I have a friend who can refer you to a great doctor for this, April.)
MAGGIE: Are they in your head?
APRIL: They're not doing it anymore. It was like -- oh, that -- that's Howie, I think.
MAGGIE: Has he gotten negative yet?
IVETTE: Huh?
MAGGIE: Has he gotten negative yet?
IVETTE: No.
MAGGIE: Good.
APRIL: I know James was out folding the towels and I asked him if -- I was like -- what did I ask him? Oh, I go, "So are you using the POV?" He was like, "No. Beau doesn't want me to." He was like, "I had to win it; otherwise, I would have been up on the block." And I was like, "I don't know. We never thought that far." And he said, "I think that far."
MAGGIE: He wouldn't have been, though.
APRIL: If Janelle would have won it --
IVETTE: Yeah. Telling him that -- yeah --
APRIL: He said if Janelle would have won it. Because I was like, "Wow. Janelle did really well." And he goes, "Yeah, thank God she didn't win it because then I would have gone up on the block."
MAGGIE: Oh, because he thought he would have been a pawn?
APRIL: And was wanting me to answer "Yes, you would have been," but I said, "I don't know." I mean, it doesn't matter because he knows he would be, but...
MAGGIE: Oh.
APRIL: And then I had asked him, I was like, "Yeah," I was like, "So do they know who's leaving?" I just said that. And he goes, "Well, both of them know" -- he said, "Both of them know, even if you told one they're safe, it doesn't matter until the votes come in because you'll never know for sure until the votes come in." He never asks me questions about the games or talks to me about the game, so...
MAGGIE: Well, that was about the game.
APRIL: I'm the one who brought it up. He didn't.
MAGGIE: Why?
APRIL: He was folding towels, and I don't know how -- I don't know how it came up. Um, he said -- oh, he was mean this morning. He was at the sink, and I came down and I said, "Good morning." He said "Good morning" (in a grumpy or rude way). I'm like, "Did you just get out of bed?" He said, "Uh, no." I was like, "You sounded so mean and grumpy." He goes, "Oh, I'm just thinking." I said, "You think too damn much." I was like, "That's what stresses your *ss out. He goes, "Well, you got to" -- he was like, "Some people's stories -- there are eight houseguests, and everyone has a different story" -- or "everyone has a story."
MAGGIE: Not me.
APRIL: Everyone -- you know what I'm saying? He listens to what everyone says.
MAGGIE: Right.
APRIL: And says that every -- everything everyone says is not true but bits and pieces are true.
MAGGIE: Right.
APRIL: So that's what he was doing was putting together bits and pieces of stories.
MAGGIE: That's why I say, the more you tell him, he can decipher (not sure she said "decipher") --
APRIL: I don't tell him sh*t.
MAGGIE: -- anything he wants from it.
APRIL: Yeah.
(Feeds cut out. Off the record from 11:14 to 11:15. Back on the record at 11:15 a.m. Continued conversation between Maggie, April & Ivette outside at the table.)
MAGGIE: We can't relate to him as much because we have the security blanket of four people. His security blanket is probably unknown. Does that make sense? Like, he wants to trust, like, you and Beau, and he probably thinks he can trust you guys, but it's not concrete like ours is. And that's got to me hard. And I don't know what he's got on --
APRIL: Plus, he --
MAGGIE: -- the other side.
APRIL: -- does think three steps ahead. He's already, I'm sure, thinking on how -- he hasn't -- he -- or no one -- not he. No one has successfully broken up this group yet, and I'm sure that's an objective of people. And so they're thinking -- I'm sure people are thinking of "What can I tell to Maggie that would possibly get her thinking twice? What could I tell to Ivette? What could I tell to April? What could I tell to Beau?"
MAGGIE: Right. Right.
APRIL: And so --
MAGGIE: Well, we've made it through all those -- like, how many storms now?
APRIL: A lot.
MAGGIE: Ten?
APRIL: Halfway through. We've already made it halfway through.
(Beau joins in the outside table conversation.)
MAGGIE: We're halfway through. Do you want to sit here [Beau]?
BEAU: Oh, I'm tired.
MAGGIE: Yeah.
BEAU: I have lint all over my hands from my -- my pocket.
MAGGIE: I love that robe.
BEAU: It's very comfortable.
MAGGIE: It's a pretty color too.
APRIL: Um-hmm, sage.
BEAU: Yeah, I like it.
MAGGIE: Awh, sage. I couldn't think of the word.
BEAU: Yeah. It's got, like, pale sage. That's sage (pointing), the color of the wall.
APRIL: Yeah.
MAGGIE: No. That's green.
BEAU: It's sage. Green is leaves.
APRIL: Yeah.
MAGGIE: We have green and brown in our house.
APRIL: Dark green are the leaves.
BEAU: Hunter?
APRIL: Hunter. Yeah.
(Beau and April laugh. For some reason they think the word "hunter" is very funny.)
MAGGIE: I have a bedroom -- a guest bedroom --
APRIL: You're a dork [Beau].
IVETTE: Forest, (talking about green colors still).
MAGGIE: -- that you guys will stay in that's blue and gray.
BEAU: Cute.
MAGGIE: Like, checker almost. It's neat.
APRIL: I have a palm tree room. That's one of our guestrooms.
BEAU: Oh, you have a Florida room? Lord.
APRIL: Well, it used to be my --
BEAU: Do you have like pastels?
APRIL: No, no. It's pretty. It's like sage.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
APRIL: It's not ghetto. I mean, I -- Matt and I used to have it as one of our rooms, and we just -- why go out and buy all these new bedspreads when we -- they're -- I mean, they're nice.
IVETTE: Um-hmm.
BEAU: Uh-huh.
APRIL: And then I have a -- we call it the palm tree room and the purple room, because the other room -- which Beau would love because he likes purpose.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
APRIL: I got --
(Ivette sneezes.)
BEAU: Bless you.
MAGGIE: Bless you.
(Ivette sneezes.)
BEAU: Bless you.
MAGGIE: Bless you.
APRIL: I'm trying to think -- bless you.
(Ivette sneezes.)
BEAU: Bless you.
MAGGIE: Bless you.
IVETTE: Thank you.
APRIL: I'm trying to think of where I got my comforter from. Anyway, it's like -- it's not velvet, because that sounds so ghetto.
BEAU: Velour?
APRIL: Yeah. The bedspread is. It's really pretty.
MAGGIE: I have a really pretty dark forest, like, velv- -- I don't know if it's velvet or velour -- I think it's velvet -- bedspread from an antique store in San Francisco.
BEAU: Cute.
MAGGIE: It is. Davida --
BEAU: I mean, there are some velvets that are nice.
MAGGIE: -- bought it for me when we still lived in Sebastopol.
APRIL: Yeah, because I don't know if it's velv- -- I can't think of what that bedspread is.
(Stopped writing because conversation is boring and probably boring to the readers. Maggie starts talking about when they pulled up their carpet at their house, they found a very explicit spray-painted drawing under the carpet.)
(End of transcription.)
---------More to come later today---------

August 22, 2005 - 10:37 a.m. to 10:52 a.m. BBT.
HOH ROOM CONVERSATION BETWEEN APRIL, MAGGIE, IVETTE & BEAU. BEGINS IN THE MIDDLE OF CONVERSATION. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE WRAP PARTY.
TO FIND THE JAMES AND APRIL CONVERSATION, SCROLL DOWN PAST THE HOH TALK WHEN APRIL LEAVES THE HOH ROOM.
APRIL: -- party is on that Saturday night.
BEAU: No. The wrap party is at Friday night.
MAGGIE: Friday night.
APRIL: Okay. Yeah. We fly back Saturday.
MAGGIE: So we would be done the 22nd, then, which is a Thursday.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
APRIL: Sweet. So 31 days from today, right? What is today? The 22nd or 21st?
MAGGIE: 22nd.
BEAU: 22nd.
APRIL: Yeah, 31 days from today.
MAGGIE: Hopefully. Hopefully.
APRIL: Why?
MAGGIE: We hope that's right.
APRIL: Whether you're here or sequestered.
INTERCOM FEMALE VOICE: Rachel.
BEAU: Why did they just call Rachel?
MAGGIE: She's probably in the Diary Room.
BEAU: Hmm.
APRIL: Yeah. I -- we need to go over it again. I thought --
IVETTE: No. That's right, because Maggie and I counted it the other day.
BEAU: What?
IVETTE: Maggie and I counted it the other day.
APRIL: Yeah, but you just told that the 24th is on a Thursday.
IVETTE: No. It's on -- because Maggie's [Ivette's girlfriend] birthday is the 23rd of September. I thought it was a Thursday, but then we realized that the 22nd is on a Thursday and Friday is the 23rd, so I'll probably be able to see her.
APRIL: I thought you just said --
MAGGIE: I said it wrong. I think --
APRIL: So the party --
MAGGIE: I don't f*cking know. How is it that so many adults in a room can't figure out the exact -- sh*t.
APRIL: Because we've been in here for two months.
(Laughter.)
MAGGIE: Oh, (moaning noise).
IVETTE: The days are right. All of us have gotten the same thing. Thursday is the 22nd.
MAGGIE: What?
IVETTE: Thursday is the 22nd. (Yawns.)
APRIL: Can you imagine if we had no clock and we had to cal- -- you know, like, no sense of days or --
IVETTE: They had no clock before.
APRIL: Yeah, I know but they --
MAGGIE: That's yucky.
BEAU: On Season 3, they --
APRIL: The clock -- the clock wouldn't be that bad, but like, thank God we have the fish food. You know what I'm saying?
IVETTE: Um-hmm.
APRIL: Can you imagine not knowing really the day nor the --
MAGGIE: Yeah. We could figure it out. The date we could track.
APRIL: It has us already.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: It is 10:00 o'clock for the original outburst, right?
BEAU: Yeah.
MAGGIE: So that would be 11:30?
IVETTE: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: They said 90 minutes, right?
APRIL: I don't think it was 10:00 o'clock, the original.
(Boring Conversation. Off the record at 10:41 a.m. BBT.)
(Writer stopped writing to save fingers for better and more interesting conversations.)
(Back on the record at 10:44 a.m. BBT.)
APRIL: See you later, alligators.
[April leaves HOH and goes downstairs to the kitchen where she finds James doing the dishes. The feeds cut out for a minute, so the James and April conversation begins before the transcriptionist starts writing. According to April's explanation to the friendship of the beginning of her conversation with James, she said "Good morning" to him, and he was rude. She asked him what was wrong. And he said, "Nothing. I'm just thinking." And she then asks him to elaborate on what it is he is thinking. That is most likely where the transcription of this conversation picks up.]
JAMES: (Inaudible.) Winning is a very good thing.
APRIL: It is, absolutely.
JAMES: You know? And outside of this environment, it's a wonderful thing.
APRIL: Absolutely. Oh, yeah. Outside of here, no problemo.
JAMES: Like I said, because of each of us knows, like, a small percentage of the truth, so, like, the more you think, sometimes you can put things together.
APRIL: Okay. There's always some truth to everything? Do you believe that?
JAMES: Yeah. The way I figure it is, is -- you know, there's -- what? -- ten house- -- eight houseguests now?
APRIL: Yeah.
JAMES: So each of us knows 1/8th of the truth, you know, each week. (Laughs.)
APRIL: Yeah.
JAMES: Next week, we know 1/7th, you know? That's all the dishes I feel like doing.
APRIL: You what?
JAMES: That's all the dishes I feel like doing.
APRIL: Oh. They still haven't washed those?
JAMES: Well, I put away the dishes this morning and washed some.
APRIL: Oh, really?
JAMES: And I picked up the backyard and put those towels in. So, yeah, I guess I've done a lot this morning.
APRIL: Yeah. You've only been up for, like, forty-five -- what? Thirty-something minutes?
JAMES: Thirty minutes.
APRIL: I'm going to go outside.
JAMES: I have to go run as soon I'm done.
[James and April go outside.]
JAMES: There's no one else out here.
APRIL: Oh, thanks. Was Rachel already laying out?
JAMES: She was this morning. She really likes that Pina Colada song, so she was up dancing to it.
APRIL: Oh, I know. Well, I remember her saying the other day about if she went to sequest- -- you know, they were talking about pina coladas and stuff?
JAMES: Yeah.
APRIL: Did she tell them to play it?
JAMES: I think she -- well, she didn't like go in there and ask for it.
APRIL: But she was talking about it?
JAMES: Yeah.
APRIL: Yeah. I guess they're probably wondering who -- who's going, right?
JAMES: They're wondering?
APRIL: Yeah.
JAMES: As in Big Brother or --
APRIL: Her and him [Rachel and Howie].
JAMES: (Burps.) Well, they know it's one of the two, you know?
APRIL: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
JAMES: And the thing here is even if you went up to them and said, "You're the person who is leaving," nobody knows until -- they're both --
APRIL: Are you using your POV?
JAMES: No. I'm keeping it.
APRIL: (Laughs.)
JAMES: Beau -- that's what Beau wanted.
APRIL: Yeah. How many are in there?
JAMES: What? Towels?
APRIL: Yeah.
JAMES: A few more. I got it. I got it. I got it. It's therapeutic [folding towels].
Did you like the competition yesterday or...?
APRIL: To be honest with you, I am claustrophobic, and I have a fear of drowning, so I knew the minute I walked out I was f*cked. Hello? Look at my time. I was like, "Hell. I'm f*cked."
JAMES: Yeah, but you could have walked it, you know? I mean --
APRIL: Don't tell them that, because they'll use it against -- you know what I'm saying [talking about having a fear of drowning.] I could have what?
JAMES: I said, you could have walked it. You know what I mean? It doesn't -- if you have actual fears, I mean, I can understand that. You know what I mean? I like these towels. I wish I would have got to keep mine.
APRIL: I know. Why didn't you -- why didn't you leave it out?
JAMES: Because I bled all over it.
APRIL: Oh.
JAMES: I fell and --
APRIL: I can't believe Janelle was four seconds behind you.
JAMES: Well, it would have been a lot less -- I mean a lot more had I not fallen, dropped a disk, because everyone has problems with, like, the latches --
APRIL: Yeah. Where did you fall at?
JAMES: I had been just jumping up the stairs.
APRIL: Yeah, yeah.
JAMES: And then, like, to the top one. And I don't know what happened. Maybe my foot slipped. When I jumped up, my knee hit the corner of it.
APRIL: Yeah. I fell as well.
JAMES: And after that, I had to like -- instead of just doing -- like, instead of just running and doing it, I had to, like, think about it, and that's what made me drop one of the other disks.
APRIL: Did you enjoy it? The competition.
JAMES: I enjoy all competition. Yeah.
APRIL: Yeah, I didn't like that one.
JAMES: I loved it. As I was sitting there, like, trying to catch my breath going inside, I'm like, "Thanks, guys. It was a lot of fun."
APRIL: Yeah. I mean, doing anything around here is fun.
JAMES: Yeah.
APRIL: Don't get me wrong.
JAMES: You have to think, you know, if Janelle got it, I would have been the replacement on the -- you know?
APRIL: Uh...
JAMES: So...
APRIL: Crap.
JAMES: Maybe it's not bad to think sometimes, you know?
APRIL: Well, I mean, that wasn't -- I mean, that wasn't -- you know?
JAMES: Well, like I said, the only way you know you're safe -- like I told Ivette, even though she's, you know, technically been safe now the couple times she's been up there, you don't know you're safe until those votes come in.
APRIL: Yeah. Have they -- did they ask you to take one of them off or anything?
JAMES: Originally, yeah.
APRIL: Yeah.
JAMES: But that's why they weren't going to pick me.
APRIL: Yeah. At least I'll get to compete every week. That's cool.
JAMES: The thing is, now, there's -- all the competitions are going to be really hard, I think, because there's so much more at stake, you know?
APRIL: Possibly, yeah.
JAMES: Because this one was difficult. It wasn't easy.
APRIL: Yeah, it was.
JAMES: Six minutes of hell.
APRIL: Yep. No, the minute I looked, I'm like, "Oh, my God." Like, I was already -- I was already -- the minute they said "water," I'm like [scared look on face]. And I was like, "No, no, no, April. Don't syke yourself out. It's not going to be anything that's going to freak you out." Because I had a -- there was a guy that drown, and it -- just every sense that happened, I just have, like, this -- you know, this thing about it. It -- I don't know. It's just weird to me.
JAMES: Nobody likes to drown.
APRIL: No.
(James and April continue the discussion about people drowning, and then they go back in the house. April gets a banana, and James goes to work out.)
[End of transcription. August 22, 2005 - 10:52 a.m. BBT.]
August 22, 2005 - 1:32 p.m. BBT.
OUTSIDE - RACHEL AND APRIL LAYING OUT DURING LOCKDOWN AND DISCUSSING THE GAME. THE FEEDS START IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONVERSATION, AND IT APPEARS AS THOUGH RACHEL AND APRIL ARE DISCUSSING KAYSAR IN THE BEGINNING.
APRIL: Whatever it was.
RACHEL: Well, he left, he came back, and he left. So he got to see Julie three times in a row.
APRIL: Yeah.
(Laughter.)
APRIL: I mean, no. I mean, I would have never -- everything I said to him the week before was all true.
RACHEL: Uh-huh.
APRIL: It was all true. And what sucked is by Howie doing what he did to me, it took probably, if I had to guess, the radar off of someone else and put it on, you know, y'all.
RACHEL: Uh-huh, yeah.
APRIL: Which sucks.
RACHEL: I know that.
APRIL: Which sucks. But -- and that just gave somebody the right to say, "I told you they were nuts; I told you they would do this; I told you they would do that; I told you" -- you know? So --
RACHEL: "They"? I hope they don't think I'm nuts. I haven't been mean to anybody in this house.
APRIL: No. "Mean," yes, it has been said.
RACHEL: Me? Me?
APRIL: No, not as much.
RACHEL: Hmm. Because I wouldn't say I've been mean.
APRIL: But you know how we always say, "Yeah, So-And-So said this about us; So-And-So said this; or So-And-So said that."
RACHEL: Oh, well, that's hearsay. I don't go off hearsay.
APRIL: I know. But now the blame can be put on him -- you know what I'm saying? -- because of what he did.
RACHEL: Um-hmm.
APRIL: Because he did go kind of nutso on us. So now all it did was benefit a person, because now it takes the radar off of that person, I think. Because I don't think y'all can go after that person.
RACHEL: I'm completely lost.
APRIL: No, you're not.
RACHEL: I am. I don't know what the hell you're --
APRIL: Who's the strongest one in this game?
RACHEL: James?
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: Oh, yeah.
[Off the record from 1:34 p.m. to 1:40 p.m. BBT. Transcriptionist stopped writing because the conversation changes from April and Rachel to all of the houseguests talking to one another. They are all outside because of a lockdown. Transcription will continue when Rachel and April begin secretly discussing the game again. Continuing the Rachel and April conversation outside.]
RACHEL: Honestly, I wouldn't have given any consideration to what -- you know, Jennifer, is she seriously going to be sequester house with him?
APRIL: What? But that would never be the reason that people make a decision. You know what I'm saying?
RACHEL: Well, I would hope not, but at the same time, you know...
APRIL: Ultimately, yes, there are people who like Howie more than you and you more than Howie. I mean, I'm sure it's probably obvious with you who that could possibly be.
RACHEL: Yeah.
APRIL: But, um, because --
RACHEL: Well, I do know Ivette's mad at me because I didn't make her dinner or something the other night. I don't know what the hell that's about. I've made dinner for people so many times in this house. Everybody was doing their own thing, and --
APRIL: Well, it's funny because I think every -- because we're at this point, like, people are getting annoyed at different people for different reasons.
RACHEL: Um-hmm. I'm not -- you know, April, I'm not upset with the game. What I said today was spot-on. I'm not a sore loser, and I'm not an overzealous winner.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: I'm a competitor. If I win, I win; if I lose, I lose. You know, if you're going to try to do well in this game, you're going to have to start winning competitions.
APRIL: Um-hmm.
RACHEL: Like I said, Beau won HOH. I would have put me up, too. I'm not upset with him. I respect that decision. You know, quite frankly, to go back to whole Eric thing, back then everybody was in a gray area, because the couples hadn't come out yet. After that, yeah, everybody became very black and white because the house separated.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: You think I'm going to go against what my partner is doing? You know, I'm not going to do that, and neither would they and neither would Ivette and Beau.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: Quite frankly, I agreed with that too. Of course, I'm black and white. The whole house is.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: So, you know, I completely respect it. Like I said, I would have done the same thing.
APRIL: Yeah. And that's the deal is like, of course, we possibly knew who Beau was putting up, but we had no clue what his speach was going to be. Like, I would rather just not know those things, because again, it's like guilty by association sometimes.
RACHEL: Well...
APRIL: And I support, you know, whatever -- whatever -- usually, what I'll do is whatever HOH -- you know, if they want one person out or the other, it's like you kind of have to go with that. You know?
RACHEL: Right.
APRIL: Which it's not that -- I don't know. I mean, I -- I -- I am -- I can tell you --
RACHEL: Well, I'm under the impression that everybody is gunning for me out, and that's kind of the impression I've had. So, you know, honestly, April, you don't have to tell me, but I would really like for you to tell me if I should wear my black top or not. I honestly would. (Laughs.)
APRIL: Can you ask me tomorrow?
RACHEL: Yeah.
APRIL: Okay. Ask me tomorrow.
RACHEL: And I won't tell anybody I asked you.
APRIL: I can't believe -- is James not telling you anything?
RACHEL: Well, yeah.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: Of course. Because I asked him. I said, "James, who do they want out more?" And I told him the same thing, I just said, "It determines what I wear."
APRIL: What did he say?
RACHEL: Is that pathetic or what?
APRIL: What did he say?
RACHEL: Me.
APRIL: Because some people are upset with you, I'm thinking that could be it, but I'm just not --
RACHEL: Why are they upset with me? Have I honestly been really nasty to anybody in this house? No.
APRIL: You have to understand, people -- people get annoyed with different people for different reasons.
RACHEL: Absolutely.
APRIL: You know?
RACHEL: Absolutely, but I don't see that as a reason to evict them.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: You know?
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: At this stage of the game, if you make a decision based on something like that, on annoyances, you're screwing yourself. Totally. But that's fine. I can't ask everybody to like me. I'm not going to.
APRIL: I don't think -- I don't -- I -- I can honestly say that I will walk out of here, and I will genuinely, as p*ssed off as I was at what Howie did --
RACHEL: (Laughs.) What you're saying about him. I'm just laughing, because I know. I would be too.
APRIL: -- as p*ssed off as I was at what he did, and as much as I even told you I will never forgive him --
RACHEL: Yeah.
APRIL: -- and I won't, I won't forgive him for what he did, which I know he's right there, but I won't forgive what he did, but I'm going to have to forget it, because it's not -- why sit here and be miserable, whether I'm here a week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks.
RACHEL: Absolutely. April, I commended you in there. I'm like --
APRIL: It's like --
RACHEL: I commended you. Trust me. I'm like, "She held up like a champ. Good for her."
APRIL: Well, and I understand he got hurt because I was hanging out with him and Janelle all week, but what you don't understand is that was not -- yes, I had to -- I agreed to put Kaysar up, but that was not mine or Jennifer's decision. We -- it's like you have to go with what the majority -- you know what I'm saying?
RACHEL: No. She should have made up her own mind.
APRIL: I know.
RACHEL: She should have thought for herself at that point, because ultimately she was playing this game for herself.
APRIL: I know. But let me --
RACHEL: If she wanted to win --
APRIL: Don't -- and I don't want to take it -- I don't want to put it on everybody else.
RACHEL: I know what you're saying. I know where that came from.
APRIL: But it -- the name had never come up.
RACHEL: Oh, Jesus.
APRIL: Let me just say that.
RACHEL: That's pathetic.
APRIL: Let me just say that.
RACHEL: Well, I don't --
APRIL: The name never came up until the team --
RACHEL: I don't know what the -- well, it's okay. I -- you know what? You make a decision -- people make a decision and let somebody else do the dirty work for them, and it does end up biting them in the house, and it will.
APRIL: Yep. I know. And that's why I was like -- it really hurt me, but I understand that I look like a guilty one because I was -- the promises I've made I really, honestly intend to keep.
RACHEL: Yeah.
APRIL: But --
RACHEL: You did.
APRIL: I just -- I know. It sucks. It absolutely sucks. And some people are good talkers. And the two people --
RACHEL: Well, they're not as good as they think they are.
APRIL: Huh?
RACHEL: They're not as good as they think they are.
APRIL: I'm not talking about Beau.
RACHEL: I know you're not.
APRIL: You know who I'm talking about.
RACHEL: Yeah, yeah. I know. That's okay. That's why I'm just --
APRIL: I definitely think that there are pacts --
RACHEL: Oh, yeah.
APRIL: -- and there are promises.
RACHEL: Oh, there definitely are promises. There are definitely promises made, April. You don't think people have promises...mmmm...hmmm. [Catches herself and stops talking before she says too much.]
APRIL: No. I know. I know.
RACHEL: Even Jennifer.
APRIL: Promises what?
RACHEL: Even Jennifer with the crying. I really believe that. I know that sucks to hear now --
APRIL: Yeah, but I was --
RACHEL: -- but, man...
APRIL: No, I don't -- but you know what, again, I didn't --
RACHEL: Well, it sucks for her.
APRIL: For her, yes, because it doesn't matter if her and I were down at the end, Rachel, I would have asked everyone to vote -- I would -- throughout the game --
RACHEL: Yeah.
APRIL: You know what I'm saying?
RACHEL: Oh, of course. I'm in the same place.
APRIL: I would have done the same thing.
RACHEL: Yeah, I know that.
APRIL: I would have said, "Hey, y'all vote for her to win," because I'm not going to turn --
[Rachel now talking about turning over because the sun is hot. They're talking about laying out now. Off the record at 1:46 p.m. Transcription will begin again when talk about the game continues.]
[Back on the record at 1:48 p.m. BBT.]
APRIL: It seems like all of y'all want James to win now.
RACHEL: No.
APRIL: I'm like, "Okay."
RACHEL: No, we don't. What, are you on drugs?
APRIL: Howie says that.
RACHEL: Are you on drugs?
APRIL: Yeah, but Howie says it.
RACHEL: Oh. Do you believe everything people say in this house?
APRIL: I'd like to.
RACHEL: I know, but you can't.
APRIL: I know. I knew. I -- I knew. I knew. I knew. The deal was it never -- the -- James, that was the best f*cking week to do what we were doing.
RACHEL: Um-hmm.
APRIL: And people were getting p*ssed and saying, "No. Kaysar is the better option. Kaysar is the better option. Kaysar is the better option." James and other people. "He's the better option. He's the better option." And finally, it's just like, "Fine. F*ck it. Okay. Whatever."
RACHEL: There was no justification. What did they think they were going to accomplish? They're protecting themselves. They weren't worried about you and Jennifer.
APRIL: Exactly. I know that. I know that. I know that.
RACHEL: And she wouldn't have left.
APRIL: After someone f*cking talks for so long -- you don't know how many times James kept coming up there. It's like, promises were made. Yeah, empty, I'm sure.
RACHEL: Um-hmm.
APRIL: And --
RACHEL: When Janelle won HOH, it wouldn't have been Jennifer going up.
APRIL: Oh, I know.
RACHEL: It wouldn't have been you either.
APRIL: I know. I could tell you now, by you and I talking, I'll tell you later, because watch, it will happen. He's going to tell her that he overheard you and I talking, and that you and I made a deal.
RACHEL: Oh, God.
APRIL: He did it the other day. He did this -- he did it the other day. He said that he overheard y'all saying that y'all were going to strike up a deal with me and -- I'm like, Why the f*ck would they strike up a deal with me? But I'm sure -- is he telling y'all that he wants to come after us if he won HOH?
RACHEL: He's not. He's not telling us anything.
APRIL: Yeah. Because he -- I -- I -- it just sucks. Trust me. I knew it was a bad decision. I told -- I told James the other day that -- ultimately both scenarios made sense. Both scenarios made sense because of the whole voting thing. And James told us -- the whole voting thing is the reason it was made, the decision was finally made.
RACHEL: Unfortunately --
APRIL: You know what I'm saying? The majority votes.
RACHEL: Absolutely. The unfortunate thing is that the whole thing made sense for everybody else but you and Jennifer.
APRIL: I know. We're not that dumb. I know. It doesn't matter how -- I mean, there's certain people that no matter what you say, it's like a lose-lose. They won't listen. And I think people knew that if Kaysar had stayed that they would be put up, and that's why they were gunning against getting him out. It came down to majority of people. Jennifer called each one of us in individually and said, "I want you to tell me who you want out." The majority said him, so...
RACHEL: She should have called us. Quite frankly, we would have told you guys you're screwing yourself.
APRIL: Finally, it was talked in, and we're like, "Fine. Okay. Fine. Put him up. Fine." But I know. I mean, I'm not -- I don't think it was a -- yeah, but did Janelle not put up James just to kind of pay back? You know what I'm saying?
RACHEL: Oh, sh*t, yeah. She was p*ssed.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: She didn't give a rat's *ss.
APRIL: Yeah.
RACHEL: She was just plain p*ssed and basically wanted to tell you that you guys had a good shot and then you screwed yourself --
APRIL: I know.
RACHEL: -- by doing what you did.
APRIL: I know. I didn't -- but, again, I -- I -- again, I -- as much as I say I am honest, I don't care about the money. I'm not caring about making it to the end, because that's not what I came here for, which is stupid to say. I came for her because it was a last-minute deal, and that's what sucked. She's not here and I am now.
RACHEL: It's kind of like that for me too, but --
APRIL: I mean, if I left next week, I would be fine. It's not like I'm not going to get --
RACHEL: You want to go this week?
APRIL: Huh?
RACHEL: You want to go this week?
APRIL: That would be funny.
RACHEL: I was thinking, "Take me out and put April up."
APRIL: What does Howie want? Does Howie -- since Howie is the one who brought you here --
RACHEL: Honestly, neither one of us care.
APRIL: Yeah. That's how I was last week. I just didn't give a sh*t.
RACHEL: I personally am over it.
APRIL: That's the point I've been at for a long time. I wouldn't doubt it if James doesn't win this.
RACHEL: I don't know about that. If James were at the end, would you really vote for him after all the crap he's done?
APRIL: I'm trying to think of who could possibly be at the end with him.
RACHEL: There could be a lot of possiblities. They're all sitting around this room. Except for me and Howie, there's a lot of possibilities. You're right. I think it depends on who is at the end.
APRIL: Yeah. Yeah, but Howie said he would vote for James to win.
RACHEL: That was just emotional.
APRIL: No. He just said it a little bit earlier. I don't know -- that's the problem. Rachel, my problem is I do believe -- I do -- I do have faith that people tell me the truth. You know? But the minute that something --
RACHEL: Well, there's a lot of emotion that was going on when he was making those comments. It depends on who he's at the end with.
APRIL: I understand Howie being upset and all of that, but I was trying to say, I know that ultimately we all agreed to put up Kaysar, but it started by the majority. And I know that I'm -- I know that Jennifer and I are to blame for that. I understand that, but everyone should have been.
RACHEL: Right, but you guys paid the price. That's all there is to it.
APRIL: That's what sucks. And that's why I felt like everyone should have paid that price, because I -- who the -- okay. If you had to sit here and think, who the f*ck do you think I really wanted out between Kaysar and James?
RACHEL: Well, the things is --
APRIL: I mean, come on.
RACHEL: -- come on. I mean, look how nice you guys were being to him. You'd kiss him good night; you'd made him breakfast.
APRIL: I never did.
RACHEL: Right.
APRIL: I was vocal with him. I talked to him. I talked to him. Absolutely. But I thought we were still going to do the whole -- you know what I mean? I didn't know what the f*ck was going to happen?
RACHEL: Yeah, I thought y'all were still going to do that too. That was very unfortunate.
APRIL: It was not decided to put up Kaysar until after you won the POV. People started saying, "Oh, my God. This is a chance" --
RACHEL: That's pretty low. That's shady. You guys are trying to do what's best for your group. You guys made a decision, and we were going to stick with it. Then it was game on. And you guys didn't really play honest. I mean, not -- you know, I'm putting it in perspective, as "you guys" as a group.
APRIL: Us. Yeah, you said -- you --
RACHEL: And who's to say that Jennifer -- or who is to say that Janelle would have won, you know, the next HOH?

August 22, 2005 - 9:31 p.m. BBT.
CONVERSATION IN HOH ROOM. MAGGIE AND BEAU ON BED. APRIL LYING ON THE FLOOR. IVETTE TAKING A SHOWER
MAGGIE: ...James.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: Because he knows we need to beat him eventually.
BEAU: Right.
MAGGIE: Possibly. We don't know. To Janelle and Howie: Now, if James gets HOH, do you two think that you have what it takes to keep him --
BEAU: Yeah.
MAGGIE: -- from going after me and April?
BEAU: Totally. He's going to go after them. Don't forget, he sees them as taking out his girlfriend. Totally.
MAGGIE: We took out his girlfriend, too.
BEAU: Not in his eyes.
MAGGIE: Or is he just saying that to make us feel secure with him?
BEAU: No. It was their idea. It was Rachel's idea. Rachel put the target on their *sses. She said, "James and Sarah need to go. Sara first; then James." And it came from her mouth, up here when she was sitting on the bed.
MAGGIE: Okay. And he knows that?
BEAU: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: When did you tell him that?
BEAU: Uh, like, at least a week ago. And I reiterated that on -- what's today? Monday? -- like, on Friday. (Burps.)
MAGGIE: Okay.
BEAU: Yep.
MAGGIE: Do you guys think I should start talking to him, because I have nothing to bring --
BEAU: Yeah. Be nice to him.
MAGGIE: -- to the table. No, I am nice --
BEAU: You can be nice to him, but don't --
MAGGIE: I -- I -- I am --
BEAU: -- start talking strategy. I don't talk strategy to him.
MAGGIE: But they still approach you about stuff.
BEAU: Yeah. I don't answer them, though. I'm like, "Umm, yeah, that's cool." I just kind of like brush it off.
MAGGIE: But I don't even get approached.
BEAU: Right, but they -- I mean, but they don't talk to me, like, "Oh, so, la-la-la" -- they don't talk to me, like, you know, deep strategy. They like, "Oh, so who do you think should, you know, go next?" or "Who do you think" -- I mean, that's not, like, really strategy. It's just they don't -- they don't come to me with a plan.
APRIL: The only person that asked him that was James.
BEAU: Yeah.
MAGGIE: So Janelle and Howie never talk to you about the game?
BEAU: Never. Today was like the only time that it actually -- that I actually talked to Howie about strategy, and that was because he was telling me that he really wanted to stay.
APRIL: Oh, did he approach you and say something?
BEAU: I was outside by myself.
APRIL: Oh, you never told me.
BEAU: Yeah, I was -- well, actually I went outside, and I was like, "How do you think you've played in this game?"
MAGGIE: Oh. That's a good question.
BEAU: I asked him that. I was like -- he was like, "Well, you know, coming here and I, you know, have been myself for the most part, you know, give or take, you know, a couple things." And I said -- and he was like, "Well, you know, obviously, when I saw James in here, he's a very competitive person, and I just thought that, you know, he'd be everybody's target, but then obviously, you know, I guess I thought wrong." He was like, "I -- I would never think that you would actually think that I'm a" -- you know --
APRIL: Threat?
BEAU: -- "a threat." I'm like, "Well, you kind of are because, you know, you are very competitive and, you know, you are very strategic." And he was like, "Well, you know, I see that." He goes, "But I think that, you know, Rachel is more of a strategic person than I am." You know --
MAGGIE: He's petitioning for Rachel to go.
BEAU: No. He -- he said he's -- not really. I was just like, you know, I said, "Who do you think should stay?" because actually when we were out there -- remember? -- he was just like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, you know" and just talking about whatever he did, you know.
MAGGIE: Right. He was -- kept saying he wanted Rachel to go.
BEAU: Yeah, but he also say that they -- they have the -- they have the understanding and the agreement, he said, "Even if she would have got the veto, she would have taken him off." I said, "Are you sure about that?" He goes, "Come on." I said, "Are you sure?" He goes, "Don't you have the agreement with Ivette, doesn't everybody have the agreement with their partner that, you know, since they brought their partner here, you know, they're going to take them off -- they would take them off?"
MAGGIE: Yeah.
BEAU: I'm like, "Kind of." You know, "I see where you're coming from." He was like, "We have both come to the understanding that, you know, I brought her here; she's no better in this game than I am, and I'm no better than she is."
MAGGIE: Uh-huh.
BEAU: He goes, "We are 50/50 and, you know, it all depends on whoever goes first. Then, you know, I'm to follow after. We're both under the understanding that we have a great place to go to after this, you know, the sequester. It's fine. We're both, you know, comfortable with it." He said, "You know, who knows?" He goes, "You know, next week if I get HOH," he goes, "I may not come after you," he goes, "because you're not really a threat to me." No, he didn't say it like that, but he kind of beat around the bush and kind of said it like that.
He was like, you know, "James is still a huge competition to me and competitor to me." He goes, "Even -- even -- you see that, you know, me and Janelle are cool," he goes, "don't think -- don't put it past me that, you know, I don't think she's a threat to me. I'm like, "All right. Whatever."
APRIL: Yeah. Howie's very strategic --
MAGGIE: Uh-huh.
APRIL: -- when it comes to playing.
BEAU: And I was like -- I was like, "Well, you're never really a" -- I mean, I was like, "You're not" -- I said, "You're a threat because, you know, obviously you're, you know, a guy; you're big; whatever else; and you're kind of -- you know, you're very, you know, athetlic and competitive" and stuff like that. And he said, he goes, "I'm" -- oh, he said he had played this game competitively. You know, that's how he describes his -- his game playing. And he was like, "You know, if you want to -- if we want to break it down" -- he didn't tell me -- he didn't say "break it down to us." He said, "If you want to see it for what it is, you know, Rachel is a more competitive and a more -- and a more strategic person than I am."
[Note Write Transcriptionist: Beau is all over the place. This is what he said, even though it does not make sense.]
BEAU: You know, and that's truth. He said, "We've all -- we've talked about this, the both of us." And he said, "If you bring her out here, she'll tell you the same, exact thing. We have the agreement, and we talked about it many, many, many times." I'm like, "That's cool." He even said, you know, "We've all pretty much come into this, you know, game, you know, knowing that, you know, there's a huge chance that we're not going to win the grand prize."
MAGGIE: Yeah.
BEAU: He goes, "And we've known that since the beginning."
APRIL: I think everyone knew that.
BEAU: Yeah.
APRIL: I mean, it's like the minute the secret -- the pairs came out, it's like -- I mean, as much as I -- it would be great, I mean, of course -- I mean, I hope you and Ivette stays. I just don't think it's going to come down to a pair --
BEAU: Oh, I don't either.
APRIL: -- winning.
BEAU: I don't think so either.
APRIL: But you never know.
BEAU: I know.
MAGGIE: Well, Ivette and Beau will be the only ones going for it --
APRIL: Yeah.
MAGGIE: -- at this point. We determined that this week. Today sealed the deal that you guys are the only pair left.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
APRIL: Uh-huh. Which is good and bad.
BEAU: Exactly.
APRIL: There's good and bad to that.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: Yeah.
BEAU: Maybe people are already under the assumption that there's no possible way that it's going to happen, so they're not going to really come after us as a pair.
APRIL: Um-hmm.
BEAU: You know?
MAGGIE: Yeah.
BEAU: I honestly don't think -- I mean, obviously --
MAGGIE: I want -- I don't care, but I really do wonder how much James is playing both sides. I really do. Because Janelle isn't. She's not crossed over. Howie does. Howie comes and talks to us and tries to be friendly and tries to -- I know he knows he's losing his partner, but he tries to be everyone's buddy, which is fine. But Janelle doesn't. She never tries to, like -- well, she may with you [April]. You're the only person that she would hang out with.
BEAU: She talks to me sometimes.
MAGGIE: Janelle?
BEAU: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: But about stupid stuff, right?
BEAU: Yeah. Retarded -- nothing serious.
APRIL: She used to ask me questions. She doesn't anymore...at all. At all.
MAGGIE: No, I know. I'm just trying to think, so the only person that's going both sides is James, then.
APRIL: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: And he's working it. I wonder how much he's telling them. Because he says to me that he doesn't talk strategy with anyone, yet I know he talks it with Janell -- I mean, with Ivette.
APRIL: And I'm sure with Rachel.
BEAU: She [Ivette] said they don't talk strategy.
MAGGIE: What?
BEAU: She said they don't talk strategy. They talk about stuff at home.
MAGGIE: Ivette and James?
BEAU: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: No. She's come back up with us --
BEAU: I've even said stuff, but that's not really strategy, so...
MAGGIE: Everything -- no. Every discussion about this game I consider strategy.
BEAU: Oh. Okay.
MAGGIE: Because you're never going to say to someone, "This is my strategy." That's not what I'm talking about.
BEAU: Right.
MAGGIE: I'm talking about the game with someone and what people are saying. When you pass on information of what people are saying, that's -- that's game.
BEAU: Yeah.
MAGGIE: So I'm wondering if I should start talking to people, because I don't -- I have nothing to bring to the table.
APRIL: About game?
MAGGIE: I have nothing to bring to the table.
APRIL: I don't -- I don't talk --
BEAU: I barely talk game about -- with anybody.
APRIL: The only people I talk game about is us four.
MAGGIE: Me, too. That's what I'm saying. I feel bad that I have nothing to offer you guys except for just my loyalty. You know what I mean?
APRIL: I think that's all that -- that's all that I feel like I have, I mean, now, I mean, because after what happened the --
MAGGIE: With Kaysar's week.
APRIL: -- last couple of weeks, I mean, they're not going to tell me sh*t. And I don't really think they'll tell Beau a lot either. The only --
MAGGIE: I think Beau would be a good person to tell from their side.
BEAU: Why?
MAGGIE: Because they don't see you as being this two-faced -- do you see what I mean?
BEAU: Right.
MAGGIE: You're not seen as a liar.
BEAU: Uh-huh.
MAGGIE: See, no one thinks that Beau and Ivette have lied in this game.
BEAU: What do you mean, "thinks"? I haven't lied.
MAGGIE: No --
BEAU: We all walked in here as a pair, b*tch.
MAGGIE: I know that.
BEAU: So stop talking about that. That's not a lie.
MAGGIE: No, but, I mean, remember when Howie said -- oh, she [April] wasn't out there.
BEAU: What happened?
MAGGIE: When Howie said that you hadn't lied, and he said I had. But he said --
BEAU: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
MAGGIE: -- you and Ivette haven't. I was kind of like wanting to be like --
BEAU: What did you lie to him about?
MAGGIE: I have no f*cking idea.
APRIL: What, now?
MAGGIE: Howie said that I lied --
APRIL: Yeah, I wasn't out there for all of that. What was he talking about out there?
MAGGIE: He said that I hadn't lied to him -- or that I have lied to him in the game, but Beau and Ivette have not.
BEAU: We were just like -- we were just -- we were just -- we were talking -- we were trying to get him to streak across the yard --
MAGGIE: Yeah.
BEAU: -- back and forth. You know, and he --
MAGGIE: He wanted me to swear on the Bible, and I told him that It doesn't belong in this game.
BEAU: Yeah, swear on the Bible.
MAGGIE: I won't do it.
APRIL: Okay.
BEAU: And then we were like -- we were like -- well, basically, he was like --
MAGGIE: And that bothered him.
BEAU: He was saying, "Oh, you know, I want you to swear on the Bible that I'm" --
MAGGIE: Oh, yeah, that we're going to vote for him to stay.
BEAU: -- "that I'm" -- "that I'm going to stay here this week, you know, that you're going to vote Rachel out." He goes, "Swear on the Bible. Swear on the Bible. Just do it."
MAGGIE: And I said, "No."
BEAU: I'm like, "Why do we have to throw in the Bible?" And I was just like, "Just give it to me." I was like, "Whatever." I said, "Whatever." And I was like, you know, "Just do it."
APRIL: Did y'all pretty much tell him that Rachel is going and he's staying?
MAGGIE: No.
BEAU: No.
APRIL: Oh, okay.
MAGGIE: He wanted us to swear on the Bible and to vouch for you.
BEAU: Yeah, he wanted me to vouch for you.
MAGGIE: Yeah.
BEAU: He was like, "Yeah, you're HOH so you have the votes and you have what it takes to make it happen." I'm like, "Yeah, but I can't, you know, tell April what to do. I can't make her vote for you to stay." And he was like, "Well, you know, I'm not going to do it then; I'm not going to do it; I'm not going to do it." I was like, "I'm not even" -- first of all, I'm not even voting, you know?
APRIL: Oh.
BEAU: So it's like, you know, what am I supposed to do, you know? And I'm like, "I'm not going to look at him -- I'm not going to, you know, swear on the Bible, you know, that Rachel" -- I said, "I'll try my hardest" -- I said, "I'll swear that I'll try my hardest to see that you stay, but, you know, I can't make it -- make it, you know, a hundred percent fact." And he was like, "Well, you know, I'm not going to do it." I said, "All right. Fine then. On Friday, then, if you're here, then you're streaking." He was like, "Deal." So...
APRIL: He wants to know if he's staying or going.
MAGGIE: Right.
BEAU: Exactly.
MAGGIE: It was very light-hearted and it was joking around, but it was game. He was talking game.
APRIL: Well, just f*cking tell him, "Rachel is going." Tell everybody Rachel is going; he's staying.
BEAU: No.
MAGGIE: Why?
BEAU: Why would you -- why would you give them the satisfaction?
APRIL: Because they already know.
BEAU: So. It's not something --
IVETTE: No, they don't. [Joining conversation while in bathroom. Just got out of the shower.]
MAGGIE: No, they don't.
BEAU: It's not something --
IVETTE: They don't know. See, if they knew, they wouldn't ask us to confirm.
BEAU: Yep.
MAGGIE: Right.
IVETTE: And by us not wanting to swear means that we can't promise anything because we're not sure yet.
MAGGIE: Right.
BEAU: Right.
MAGGIE: No. He really, really wants to stay.
BEAU: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: Without a doubt.
BEAU: And I even asked him in front of them, I was like, "So if you stay, are you going to play nicely?" He was like, [imitating Howie in a disgusted tone] "Why does everybody think I'm the bad guy?" He goes, you know, "Everybody got locked up, and a couple times you got locked up with Janie, and Ivette got locked up for three hours, and Cappy got locked up and so did Michael, and I never got locked up, but I am like the one that gets all the -- the brunt of everything."
MAGGIE: Because he crossed every f*cking line possible.
APRIL: Oh, every line possible.
IVETTE: Where's everybody at?
BEAU: I don't know. I'm going to go put my stuff in the drier.
[Beau exits HOH room.]
MAGGIE: When I went downstairs, everyone, everyone, was in the Gold Room.
IVETTE: (Inaudible question.)
MAGGIE: Uh-huh.
IVETTE: What were they doing?
APRIL: Oh, that was earlier.
IVETTE: That was with me, right?
MAGGIE: Oh, yeah.
APRIL: That wasn't recently.
IVETTE: Yeah, you're so forgetful.
MAGGIE: No, that's the last time I went downstairs, when I got the popcorn, right before we -- uh -- right before we played cards.
IVETTE: I need Beau to do my eyebrows tomorrow.
MAGGIE: Where did Bo-Bo go?
APRIL: To put his clothes in the drier.
MAGGIE: Oh.
IVETTE: So today I'm missing my mom a whole lot.
MAGGIE: Awwwh. Did you get to talk about it?
IVETTE: I can't talk about it.
MAGGIE: Okay. So did I.
APRIL: So did I.
IVETTE: And I really miss my Toosh a lot too.
MALE INTERCOM SPEAKER: Ivette, please put on your microphone.
APRIL: I know we all know that -- like, I know that Matt's --
IVETTE: You guys don't understand. Like, whenever you're really down, you have a picture that you can grap and look at. You have words that you can grap and read over and over and over again.
MAGGIE: We know that.
IVETTE: I have nothing. Nothing. Beau has a picture of f*cking cell phones.
MAGGIE: Right.
IVETTE: You know what I mean?
APRIL: Uh-huh.
IVETTE: And I gave up, like, my one-year anniversary to come here, like -- you know what I mean? Like, so many things, and I wish like -- uh --
MAGGIE: Birthdays.
IVETTE: Yeah, but you know, you missed a great birthday too.
MAGGIE: Yeah, mine and Dave's.
IVETTE: Like, I wish there would be, like, a competition, like, to fight for -- you know what I'm saying? Something, something. Throw me a bone here. The only bone they throw me is HOH, but they throw that bone to 14 other people too all the time. You know what I'm saying? It's like...
And by all means, I don't want anybody to give it to me.
MAGGIE: There will be an America's Choice. Don't worry.
IVETTE: Yeah. Will I still be here for that? Who knows. Who freaking knows.
MAGGIE: I bet they're going to do something from home soon.
APRIL: Um-hmm.
MAGGIE: It's time.
IVETTE: That's what I said. I said, "God, I'm dying for something," like, "Give us more quarters; give us a luxury comp; make us open up a safe..." [Fish.]
