Day 30, May 31st Merlin oversleeps and misses the hot water, but manages to get what little is left in the pipe by running from shower head to shower head. (I could show you a picture, but trust me, you don't want to see him when he's wet.) The HMs gather to plan their weekly food budget. They start off with $367 to spend, but when they factor in microphone fines they don't have as much. The biggest offender is Elle with $42 worth of fines (most of the other offenders have about $10.) Merlin and Bree take the list to Big Brother in the DR. You'll notice in the top left hand corner the boys have added "Cameron Diaz" to their list of requested items.
Terri, Cat and Merlin talk about impending nominations. Merlin tells the girls he goes on the general vibe of the house. He thinks of the person and then looks for a reason because he's really not hurt or offended by anyone. When the store room opens up and the HMs get the new food they'd requested, Merlin helps himself to the real milk. He and Paul had a discussion about it when they were planning the list, Paul hates powdered milk in his coffee, Merlin is fine with it so he protested when Paul requested it (it's obviously more expensive than powdered.) Paul requested a carton that he would just use for his coffee and Merlin agreed that it was fine saying he'd only drink powdered and that way they could still save money. So when Merls opened up a carton for his cereal, Paul made a point of making sure everyone noticed. When Merlin began to get defensive, Paul smiled at him and said "don't you take the bait son, I'm only stirrin'!" To fight off boredom, Kane asks Ryan to tell them some bad jokes. "What did the candle say to the other candle ....... 'are you going out tonight?'" "I thought it was 'you look hot?'" Wes says. "What's green and got wheels?" says Kane. "A frog. I lied about the wheels!" "Why couldn't Eric ride a bike? ........ 'Cause Eric was a fish!" replies Ryan. They kid Merlin about not knowing any. The HMs are summoned to the lounge for nominations. Paul wishes everyone "bad luck." Guess what? They're still Elle, Terri and Paul. Ash is relieved to learn she wasn't nominated. Of course she has no way of knowing that she was only two votes away from being up again. Terri tells BB in the DR that she's "starting to feel like nobody wants me here." She's learned not to change who she is. Those who don't like her can just get over it. Ryan walks into the bedroom to find the girls engaged in an Aboriginal cult ritual.......
Actually, they're just doing facials. "Don't make us laugh, we're trying not to crack!" Bree mumbles to him before he walks past them into the bathroom. A few moments later, they trick him into walking back past them so he can "run the gauntlet" and they all attack him with pillows.
Later, Terri tells Paul about Merlin's lame method of nominating people. "That's the difference between me and Merls, one of us has got the b*lls to say how we feel and the other one doesn't." On the couch, Merls and Wes (look! There he is!) discuss the argument that Merls and Paul had two weeks ago. Merlin says that he likes Paul, but he hasn't as negative an experience with anyone else in the house (implying that he has no choice but to nominate Paul.) Trevor tells BB in the DR how hard it is getting to nominate people, he's having to look for reasons because he generally gets along with everyone. It's hard in the house because he's used to asking his girlfriend for advice and she's not around for him to ask. He says that the whole experience reminds him of school and how he felt so insecure about how he looked when he was little. He was aprehensive when the show started about how he'd be perceived but he thinks he doing well fitting in and making friends and he will continue to do so. Elle tells Merlin and Wes (look! There he is again!) that she hasn't "found" herself and doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. She says that while her mother would never admit it, she thinks she's dissapointed that she didn't go to college. She gets choked up telling them how hard she is on herself. At bedtime, Ash tells Bree about her boyfriend. She says that her parents like him, but don't want her to settle down so early and after they had been dating a while, her parents tried to push him away. She says her parents are putting so much pressure on them to break up that she sometimes worries that she's only still with him to prove them wrong. She can't talk to her mom about her "first true love" and that's hard. Her parents treat her like a little kid and she wishes they'd trust her a bit more. Tomorrow ........ THERE'S MELONS FALLING FROM THE SKY!!!!!!!!!!!
