Daily challenge. Some type of relay race where they have to carry a baby doll and not let it get muddy.

They have to make up a 'save the baby" cadence"

jamie is reading all the instructions out loud.

Sounds like a mud obstical course.

They have to put up stakes and make a mud pit and all 7 HGs must carry the 'baby' through obstacle course without getting the baby dirty. Brit says she likes getting muddy :)

Ed says I went from a cowboy to a marine in a heartbeat!

After a half-hour of four-channel night-vision quad-cam sleeping and pug-snoring, the HGs are now in the dining room getting ready for their daily challenge. Missed the instructions, but it seems to involve a race and trying not to get a doll all muddy. They're all trying on doo-rags.

George "gets his gear on" with Josh and the ladies head for the bathroom. Brittany and Jamie say these kind of challenges are "totally fun".

Eddie, in green military-looking gear, says "Man, I went from a Cowboy to a Marine in a hawt-beat".

They have a bunch of Camo outfits, they are getting dressed in the Dining room.

It sounds like there is a lot of dirt outside from what josh & george said.

Jamie notices the price tags are still on the belts ($4.95).

Someone says thats something is all the same size (medium) - eddie says "good luck george"

Cass has gone into the ladies room to get dressed.

Cass moved to bathroom, jamie is there and britt just stepped out of the w/c - cass steps in.

Britt "I just took a shower"
Jamie "we'll all get hot showers afterwards I bet"

Jamie "I don't know how we won't get mud on the baby"

Britt "we'll just lie on our backs and scoot backwards" (ed. or something like that).

Cass continues to get dressed jamie & britt out of bathroom. Actually - jamie just came out of the w/c dressed.

Jamie is telling britt how big the pants are. She is now tugging on them and they are baggy and loose. Cass just showed her something on the hips of the pants - perhaps a drawstring.

Brittany says "they're [BB] gonna take her for the night", referring to the pug, and Josh and Curtis jokingly ask if there will be any babysitting fees that come out of their shopping budget.

Cassandra frets about her hair in the bathroom mirror, saying that if she gets mud in her locks it will never come out.

Eddie says it's too f*ckin hot for long sleeves in the f*ckin desert, and that he's gonna lose these f*ckin sleeves. George customises Eddie's and Josh's uniforms, cutting the necks and arms into V-cuts.

BB reminds the HGs to put their mics on the outsides of their uniforms for now, and to make sure to take them off before the mud.

In the bathroom, Brit goes "So much for my shower" and asks Cassandra how she's doing. Cassandra replies that she's OK, but she's less than convincing. Her hair is her major worry. She's been in the pool exactly twice while she's been here, both at BB's demand. Now mud.

Jamie poses in front of the mirror and adjusts her army-cap to that perfect angle. This is about a four minute operation.

Cass is worried about getting mud in her "dreds" she says if she gets any in them it will never come out.

They apparently have taken the dog away. Britt says she is gone for the night because they will be doing something in the garden in the morning.

Jamie is meticulously adjusting her shirt in the mirror, pullin git out juuuuusst so, and checking and pulling and checking (no joke - this went on for 2-3 minutes).

The men have apparently cut off their sleeves, britt is not sure if she wants to. Curtis remarked a bit ago that his pants fit perfectly.

Cass will not be wearing a camo hat as its too small for her to tuck all of her hair under. She is telling curtis "I'm not being difficult but this hat is too small.

F1 cuts to eddie outside hauling dirt. Must be at least 15-20 40lb bags of dirt. Some topsoil and some of another type (at least george asked if they put down the topsoil 1st and ed says it doesn't matter).

Ed, George and josh are moving the bags away from the wall and tossing them to various locations.

Curtis says "all of this sh*t?? holy crap!!"

Cutis again, "is all the dog sh*t cleaned up by the way???" (since they will be crawling on the muddy yard).

(ok - total side comment here - I am guessing that BB is going to re-sod the yard tommorow - it will be totally ruined after this challenge and Britt said that BB said they would be working in the garden tommorow)

Cass comes out and eddie is asking all the ladies to cut the bags so they open easily.

As the boys adjourn to the garden, carrying huge bags of something (dirt, maybe?) Curtis asks no one in particular if all the dog sh*t's been cleaned up.

Back in the house, Jamie, still focusing on sartorial matters, warns Brittany that if they cut the sleeves off their outfits like the boys did, their bras will show.

The boys lay out the dirt on the lawn, and Eddie says just put 'em down--the girls will punch holes in the bags and it'll all come right out.

Jamie finally comes out and says "Ew. These don't smell nice".

Bag-emptying ensues, and George, surveying all the dirt on the ground, acutely observes that they will, in fact, "get pretty dirty."

Eddie starts walking around barefoot in the mud and says it feels nice between his toes.

4:15 BB time

Eddie is hosing down the dirt now. Others are putting out stakes (I think rope or string will be strung over the mud and this will be what the HG's have to crawl under while carrying the baby.

4:20 pm - mud wrasling - eddie and britt were having fun in the mud.


Britt says she feels a lot cooler now.

Eddie says "I see womens' mud wrestling after this." Britt laughs.

She says that this will be really fun. That she's reminded of her dad. It reminds her of the times she misbehaved as a child, and she was punished by her parents by doing things like this with her dad--but it was still pretty fun. Her Electra-complex goes unnoticed by the other HGs.

The HG's are discovering that water + yard full of dirt = lots of mud.

Jamie dips a tentative toe into the mud and goes "Ooh. It feels so squooshy."

Josh picks up Brittany and Eddie points to a few good places in the mud where Josh should deposit her.

Jamie is still mostly concerned with sartorial matters, as she's helping Cassandra with her hat--it's too small to cover her dreds. You can just tell Cassandra hates this.

They all took their mics off.

Fyi - eddie and britt got very muddy - or at least Britt did - then she was hosed off and said she felt much cooler.

The stakes & ribbons are all in place and now the watering continues.

Hard to hear anything since BB made them remove their mics after ed & britt got wet & muddy.

They're tapping stakes into the ground, and string is being attached to them.

BB is giving them directions, but we can't really hear what is being said. It sounds sort of like the teacher in a Charlie Brown cartoon. Waa-waa-WA wa, waa-wa.

The chickens are coming through loud and clear though, and the stake-tapping can also be heard.

Curtis and Brittany are singing/rapping, and Eddie bellows some orders--we're only picking up ambient sound, no actual dialogue or anything specific being said, which is annoying. You'd think BB could sacrifice a set of mic's so we could hear what's going on. Sure, those lavalier mic's are expensive, but I bet seven of them are cheaper than Les Moonves' three-martini brunch (ed--president of CBS).

The mud field now looks like that part of the obstacle course you see marines go through in basic training: string stretched across in rows, and the obstaclers (obstacle-coursers... whatever) have to crawl through on their bellies, kepping their heads down and their weapons out in front of them.

Eddie continues to spray the hose onto the mud. Brittany points out a whole section of the dirt near the wall where he missed. He sprays her instead, making her shriek.

Ryn

More instructions being given - very hard to hear with the HGs not wearing mic and the BB's booming voice.

Eddie goes back to spraying.

Josh sings to the baby "baby baby, I'd get down on my knees for you" (laughter).

2 people are out on the course mixing the dirt and water by hand. Britt is one of the two....George is the other.

Eddie and josh are working on a cadence song of some type.

"Damn mud" (as in "sound off)
"Damn Pug"

thats all I could make out.

They are going to do a test run using something besides the baby (a leftover stake I think)

Ryn

Curtis is 1st - on his belly carrying the stake - it was pretty easy.

Jamie next - seemed easy for her as well.

They have to salute after they go.

This is a test run btw.

Cass made it as well.

3 HG's on one end - 4 on the other and they are doing a relay.

Ed made it as well.

(ed: this challenge wil take 5 minutes max when its for real and the spent an hour or more preparing)

Josh tries a different method and hods the stake with one hand and uses the other to pull himself thgough.

Eddie "the wetter it is the more careful you have to be not to splash"

They seem to be done but i did not see everyone go.

I imagine the next time is for real.

<ed: I am leaving in 10 minutes even if they have not gone, if anyone else is out there you might want to pick this up>

BB came on and gave a whole bunch of directions, all of which were inaudible. One thing BB said was to place a microphone "in the middle" (of what--who knows?) and the sound improved a little. Curtis and Brittany are singing the Righteous Brothers. George is on his knees smushing the mud into, well, mud. Eddie waters with the hose and makes up an obscene military-sounding chant to the tune of "I don't know but I've been told..." etc.

Eddie continues supervising. He directs everyone to get into the mud and line up. They do.

BB tells everyone to go into the corner of the mud and face in at a forty-five degree angle.

Someone (can't tell who) crawls through, getting predictably muddy.

Josh asks BB (whom he calls "The Interrogator") which direction they should salute. He gets no answer.

It begins. Jamie crawls through holding the doll, and then Cassandra goes. The doll is still clean. Eddie goes next. George encourages everyone, and then it's his turn. They all remind him not to get mud on the doll.

Josh goes. Doll's still fine. Airplane drowns everything out for awhile.

Eddie reapplies the water. It's a pretty lame challenge, and no one really says anything.

That was a test run. Seems like a lot of work for maybe fifteen seconds of actual challenge.

That was a practice run, they were carrying a leftover stake instead of the baby. The mics are what they were asked to place at a 45 degree angle towards the center of the mud field to pick up the sound better.

They challenge has not happened yet - just practice.

Can't tell who's crawling thru the mud but can hear Jamie yelling.

(ed-anyone know what happens if they loose they're daily challange?)

Everyone kinda standing around talking. Can't make it out, sound is bad today.

Eddie telling someone how to get through the mud. Josh raking? the mud maybe

Now they're all chanting like marines.
Can't keep up with the chanting.
Something about mud being cold and Cass with a shovel.

Ok. Jamie's got the doll. Eddie telling them where to say away from cuz it's really slippery.

Jokes about him not wearing undewear again.

Eddie done, and they told him to "spike the baby"

He did and then he jumped on it - and pounced on it.

BB says they did not get to inspect the baby but they will take their word that it was clean.
