Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:19 pm  Josh and Brittany tell Karen that they will accompany her on a cross country trip after the show is over. Eddie is falling asleep and everyone is joking with him to keep him awake, he says he's hungover. Eddie says that after tonights show, he would like to talk to everyone individually to discuss nominations, and the past events in the house. Everyone agrees. Chiquita is snoring on Karens lap. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:21 pm  The group starts singing "I've got friends in low places", everyone is laughing and smiling the whole time. Even Cassandra is singing. This is the first time ever that the entire group sang together in the same room. |
Ryn | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:25 pm  They sing "I got friends in low places" Trying to keep eddie awake eddie says "I was so down for conflict too - damn!!!" Eddie says things have been all hapy and cheery the last few daty - he needs a fight. He says hes been fighting with the do. Talk of the dog again. (posting to prepare for the official banishment) btw - dead silence again. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:26 pm  Curtis jokes that since Chiquita gnaws on items in the house, she should eat up the ants that are infesting the house. The group says that the audience is probably listening to them right now, so they all yell "Hello Audience!!!" Big Brother asks Karen and Josh to swap places, Cassandra to sit in between them, and George and Brittany to switch, then Curtis to go next to George and Eddie to move where Curtis was. They ask Big Brother why, and he doesn't respond.........The group moves as ordered. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:28 pm  The banished house guest is !!!!!!!!! Josh got 9% Cassandra got 15% Karen got 76% |
Mee | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:29 pm  Things got really quiet for a little bit. HGs are trying to fill up the empty space with chit chat, and nervous laughter. This is interspersed with more silence. It's so quiet I can hear a weird snory sound. Chiquita breathing? Jamie whispered something, now everyone is laughing. More whispering and laughter. HGs are now singing a C&W song (I think) at the top of their longs! Lots of laughter. "I got friends in low places ..." (??) Laughter. Spirits seem a little higher since singing, but it still gets quiet. [Sound too garbled to catch actual verbage here. Lots of one-liners and laughter.] BB (calm man's voice) just came on and asked them to change seats with each other. They have a specific place where they want each HG to sit. HGs comply cheerily. One commented: That's weird. More garbled joking. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:31 pm  Karen Hugs everyone. Cassandra tells her to enjoy her babies. Curtis looks near tears. They do the traditional group hug. Karen says she wants them to see their kids, she plots to have the kids in view when she leave. Julie interrupts and tells her that 2 minutes is up and she needs to leave immediately. The group escort her out........ |
Kcanuck | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:34 pm  No sound here. Karen is hugging everyone - I assume that means she is gone. Group is walking with Karen. She is picking up her stuff. Going down the hall. To the door. Seeing her out. Just at the edge of the door. Karen out. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:34 pm  On the porch everyone tells Karen to let them see the kids when she exits, she promises them that she will. Josh takes helps her take things to the sidewalk (near the voluntary exit danger zone). When the gate opens, Karens kids are waiting and crying, Big Brother was nice enough to leave the Gate open a little so Karen and the kids could wave good bye to them while they were on the porch. |
Ewing99 | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:36 pm  F7: Cam 1 on Josh. HG all waiting for the decision. On Cam 2 dozens of big brother fans waiting for the banishment. Cam 3 shows the "door to leave" Cam 4 is the living room. Still a time delay on the streams Now Josh get the information, that he wasn't banished. Decision between cassandra and Karen. Karen starts to cry when she heard that she was banished [Ed:76%] |
Kcanuck | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:36 pm  HG at the door. Saying goodbye. Karen walks down the walk. Meets and hugs smallest girl. too dark for me to see much. Someone else with sound tell me what's up. Lots of hugging. HG still on steps. Waving. Now going back in. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:36 pm  The group says this was a bittersweet, but happy banishment. Eddie orders the men to follow him outside. Karen is in the studio hugging and crying with all of her kids. |
Karen | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:38 pm  BB just made all the HG change seats... gave them seating assignments. No major objections.. they do it. Josh got 9% of the votes.. Julie paused after saying Josh and he started to get up... thinking he was the one. Karen got 76%.. She takes her 2 minutes with final round of goodbyes and hugs... HG defying their earlier order not to go onto the porch. "make sure we see the Kids, Karen. Karen is greeted by two daughters. Big round of hugs inside after she is gone.. JOsh is happy...Curtis says they wont eat as well now. |
Ryn | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:38 pm  Laughing and joking and hugging. THey all thought josh was the one banished for a second. Curtis "the food get substantially worse now" Eddie says "men - outside!!" (this may be where he talks to each alone) all feeds on kitchen, don't think anyone did go outside after all. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:40 pm  Jamie says it was cool to hear the crowd scream everyone's name. Many people were screaming Cassandra's name. Cassandra was flattered and said it was strange that people she didn't know knew their names. Cassandra tells Big Brother thank you in front of the kitchen cam, she says it was cool that they let them see that. Jamie says she hopes Karens husband isn't in town. Eddie says that he wants to throw a crutch at Karens husband. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:41 pm  Cassandra says it feels strange because she was mentally prepared to be the one banished, and now it's time to decompress. Everyone stands in silence. |
Ryn | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:42 pm  Cass thanks BB for allowing them to see Karen's kids. She talks to curtis about how stressful the previous hour was. The rest of the house is SILENT. Although we can't see all of the other HG's |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:45 pm  Jamie asks George if he's ok and he says yes. She reassures him that everyone will be alright after time. Cassandra says the reunion of Karen and her kids was incredible. George stares at the kitchen table. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:46 pm  Karen jokingly called Eddie a little Sh!t on live TV. Julie Chen was shocked. Curtis hugs a crying Brittany in the bathroom. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:55 pm  The group is going to have a mass conversation on how everyone is holding up, and how the nominations affect everyone. Cassandra rounds them up. Karen is listening to the letter from her husband, she has a look of shock (Big Brother is wrong for this), she is emotionally upset. She decides that she wants to see her husband. He comes out and gives her a long hug and a kiss. Julie give Karen a chance to talk to the houseguests via the show. She tells them that her husband is standing next to her, and there was boos coming from the houseguests. George says "I told ya everything would be ok." They tell her they'll miss her advice and cooking. She apologized for blaming Curtis for nominating her. She said she loved Jamie even though she was the one that voted for her and she had no hard feelings. She told George to "Quit it, you're not supposed to be drinking already!" George laughs. Julie annouces that due to Survivors Finale, the live show will be on Thursday, and good bye to the houseguests. Eddie begins the chat with the house guests. He tells them to stop coming up to him trying to find out who he voted for. He says the group should stick to the agreement they made after Will and Jordans nominations to keep their votes a secret. Brittany says "that sounds like a plan", and Curtis seconds that. |
Phantommenace | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 07:04 pm  Eddie says that even though they still have to nominate house guests for banishment next week, the group has to bind together and be stronger now. Eddie reminds them of how Mega and Jordan changed after their nominations were announced. Curtis steps in to say to the other potential nominees to not treat anyone different and not to alienate themselves. Jamie says she hopes they show everything on the show. She said that Karen acted totally different after she was nominated and it showed her how not to act when she's nominated. She says this last week with Karen has been her toughest week in the house. Jamie also says that everyone has learned from Mega and Jordan. Curtis says that once you're out of the house, the "World of Nominations" won't matter. Curtis said that it hurt him that Karen accused him of nominating her. Jamie jumps in saying that she couldn't bring herself to tell Karen because other people would try to guess who else voted for who. Cassandra said they cannot trust Big Brother to hold their confidentiality, and if they do find out about something after their banished they didn't know about that went on in the house, they can't crack on camera, because that's what Big Brother wants. |
Jana | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 07:06 pm  Jamie is disturbed that Karen said something about her voting for her...Cass doesn't think they can trust BB to protect their confidentiality, so basically don't say anything you don't want known.....Brit says she thought it was a good thing to show that you never know who nominated her......btw, they are all talking in the LR....Jamie said she thinks Karen really KNEW that she nominated her (she's right).....(ed-the general feeling is that the are all "decompressing")...eddie griping again about people asking him who voted for him..... |
Karen | Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 07:06 pm  Eddie called a meeting to discuss nominations.. Julie breaks in with Karen for one last goodbye.. Karen tells the HG that her husband was beside her. They all cheered and wished her luck. Ed: last week after nom and the tallys were up, ive had 4 people come up to me wanting to know if I voted for them. You all had a chance to see the tape tonight and you didn't want to. I would appreciate if we stick to the agreement we made 6 weeks ago. If they offer it to us again and we change our minds.. then okay.. but until then I don't want to hear any more about it. That's all I have to say. Curtis agrees.. there's a difference between knowing it here or knowing once we're out.. We're here to enjoy each other and have fun. WE shouldn't let the nominations screw it up. E: BB is going to try and play us against each other.. its more like us against BB.. we have to stick together. Cu: This is strictly business.. we all have to nominate two people. Its not personal. If your nominated you have responsibility not to disrupt the group... and go about your business and not feel alienated. Cass: we can't trust BB. Just know that anything you do might be found out. Just dont go bonkers cuz that's what they want. Jamie wanted to tell Karen.. but it would affect others in the house. Curtis says it shows that the nominations are not about liking and disliking. |
