Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 09:50 pm  F3 George grabs a piece of paper form the box - looks at it - puts it back in. (This box is metallic, looks to be on top of a table in the space btwn the living room and dining area.) OMG I got disconnected!!!! Arrrrgh!!! Ok back online. George has some kind of card in his hand and is staring intently at it. reading it. Ok, different angle, it's like a sheet of paper. It's a photocopy of four little pages shrunk to fit on one page. He's holding it in front of the suitcase, and we get a zoom on the two small things that he had earlier - they look like plastic packages with foil wrapping on one side - like for syringes or pills (but I assume it's not that). He's reading the writing on the paper. George bits his fingers for a moment, touches his nose, now stroking his chin with left hand as he reads the paper in his right. A noise is heard - a man's voice - and George SWIFTLY closes the suitcase and locks it. He couldn't close it right, opens it briefly to move the shirt back in, then slams it shut. Does the combo and makes sure it's locked once again. Gentlemen - we have a mystery on our hands |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 09:53 pm  F3 George still fiddling with BigBrother briefcase. doing the combo. Can hear sounds - it's ppl in the Love Bed, probably Josh. Can hear Curtis laughing as he puts up the suitcase. George speaks! He says, "Hmm hmm. Right (something)boy?" (PLEASE if anyone got what he said, post it! -ed.) Now he opens it again, then shuts it again. He's now got the sheet of paper (with the four pages photocopied on it) in his teeth, goes over and slips it under his mattress I think, then fiddles with suitcase again as he moved it to the foot of the bed. Finally slides it under the bed. Opens dresser drawer, gets something red, slides it shut. Sighs as he gets up, holding sheet of paper (rolled up) and red thing. Puts red thing somewhere, sits down on his bed looking at the sheet. |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:01 pm  F3 The red thing is still in his left hand I believe (but not sure). He now lies down on his side, on the bed, reading the sheet which is propped up on the blue bedsheet. Closeup of George - IMHO he looks sort of regretful or thoughtful - but very hard to read. He continues to read, occasionally staring off into space. Zoom for some reason on his left hand, on his left leg (he's lying on his right side), his index finger out, other fingers still in. Zoom out of bedroom. Zoom back in on George's face until it gets blurry - then zoom back into focus. George has his eyes closed like he's in deep thought or sleeping, opening his eyes wider from time to time. He continues to read, sometimes staring off into space, for one chilling moment he looks straight at YOU and it's kind of a scary look. (Camera zoomed in on him at the same time for added effect - very creepy w/no soundtrack.) He's shfiting his eyes here and there, looking at cameras perhaps, periodically looking back at paper. |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:03 pm  F3 Jamie is in the room, gives George some chocolate to eat. George thanks her, asks what's going on. Jamie says she couldn't sleep. George says Bob's got his brothers all on him tonight. Bunch of cameras. George: we had a good day. Jamie: yeah it was a good day. George: yeah. it was cool. it was a good day. Jamie telling George about a whole batch of chocolate chip. George: you're on your way baby. something. the wheels are spinning. That's all it took. You would have walked out of here like any of us next Thursday. you've got what you want. Jamie: I don't know. I looked like a total idiot in there. Cuz I was so excited. Another exchange. George: Just keep in mind I'm glad for ya. Jamie: I'm glad about the popularity in your polls? George: don't worry about it. Jamie: are you excited? George - licks his lips, looks up. "Tremendously. Tremendously." Jamie says something about 20-somethings, surprised they voted for him. George says, "I'm very thankful to all those Internet ppl out there." Now he's playing to the camera, "I could sure use your votes now! I could use your votes, Please!!! I hope so." George: I'm gonna tell you what Hollywood. I'm gonna play it like it's my last. Play it like it's my last. If I cruise out of here next thurs., I wanna tell you I had a good time. [...] I do wanna say, that's for sure but whatever way it goes, I could really use your dollar vote. (giggling) Joking that he might actually need $5.95. So please call tonight, before the price goes up. Chuckling. |
Battlestar | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:05 pm  Talking to Jamie--telling her that she has got it and she'll be going places. He talked to the camera a few times and said "Help Guys--I need your votes!" ed note--I don't think he knows that they vote against you not for you. |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:06 pm  F3 Jamie talking about how great it was to get a 4.0, and get into an Ivy League school. George says you're not going that route now. Jamie says something about working hard and going that route. George: You've made it now. Over and done with. You met the Big Kahuna. Jamie: you really think so? George: You've made it, just relax. you made it. Jamie talks about how many actresses there are. George says it's like crops in a garden. You've always gotta have a new crop of ppl. Sooner or later they get old and you gotta get young. That's for sure. But you've got it. George with more similar stuff. Jamie saying something about her passion being Hollywood, tough to hear exactly what she says. George says yeah. Now I gotta go out there, it's my time to dance. Thanks for the talk. Jamie: it's so weird, George, my mind is still reeling. It hasn't sunk in yet. Jamie says it's really nice that they announced the poll vote for him. George says he's not worried about it. Jamie asks something about infomercials, but George is already outside to tell them. George says infomercials full-time this week. I gotta play it like it's my last, I gotta play it like it's my last. But I got some SUPER ones coming up, I've been saving 'em. He goes outside saying "I apologize" to the dancers. Jamie stays in kitchen looking around, now walking around counter. Cam switches to Love bed, Curtis by wall hand behind head, Brit and Josh close together, legs sticking out of covers here and there. |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:10 pm  (Okay guys - I posted George's doings the best I could - if someone can definitively enlighten or correct some of the stuff I posted please do! -ed.) F3 now shows Cass and Jamie talking in hallway, Cass saying Jamie has plenty of time to do something. Cass says Jamie's on nat'l television five nights a week, everybody's seeing her every week. (I think about to make the point that many on this board have made -ed.) Audio garbled, then feed switches back to Love bed. Curtis lying by wall, Brit curled up to Josh. Feed back to Cass and Jamie. Net congestion. Jamie: I don't know. It's weird. Cass: it's something you've been dreaming about for so long. Jamie: but it's something I dream about on paper! Like, okay, 'Jamie's economic stuff' [net congestion] family, something. And also the odds of getting past this point. I mean I think of all the great actors and actresses and there are just so few around. It's so tough to make it. Sorry, net congestion. Posting and reloading feed... |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:15 pm  F3 Cass: ...on nat'l TV already. This is a great thing but only if it's what you choose to make it. You'll never be more primed to make it than you are now. Ppl can see the real you. Now Cass saying she'll sleep eventually. Jamie asking if Cass's heart was racing when she found out she was third (I think - audio garbled). Cass points out today Julie Chen interacted with her, Jamie, Eddie, she thinks Josh. So she is going to be interacting more w/ppl since thre are fewer in the house. So every week more exposure, etc. Someone asks the time from off-camera, Cass says 10:05 (note it's seven minutes behind real-time for me). It's Curtis - he's brushing his teeth. Cass says her knees and back are hurting her, it's old age. Camera zooms in on her knees. Cass continues, it's good for Jamie to stay in, it's a bonus for her to stay on longer b/c with fewer ppl, each gets more airtime. in the beginning w/10 ppl, a 23-minute show gives them each 2 min. 30 sec. It's a lot better. |
Lawyerman | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:17 pm  Outside, George and Eddie are dancing. They both jokingly ask the beer lovers of the world to spend a buck on a phone call to save them from banishment. On the other hand, if they vote them out, they can go get some beer. Ed says he'd like to bartend when he gets out. George says he'd like to do the same, but only in a smoke free bar. Ed reminds George that they have smoke free bars in California. George says he would have to move out there and Ed says something like, "You moved out here to live in a house!" George improvises a song asking the public to spend a dollar on a call to keep he and Eddie in the house for two more weeks. The last line goes something like, "Call 1-900....save George and Ed." |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:19 pm  F3 Jamie fears everyone hates her, that in the house you get so into what's going on here. Cass thinks you were already on your way there. So I'm excited about that but that's just one of the things that's going on for you. Cass says it would've been weird for her. But either way it's a great moment, either meeting mom or whoever. But your mom would've wanted you to do that so it's good. Curtis comes out with glass of water, says he couldn't sleep (more likely giving Brit + Josh privacy -ed.) Sits down on floor across from them. Apologizes for interrupting, Jamie and Cass say not at all. Cass likes Curtis's highlights. She was kind of scared earlier. Thinks they showed up well on TV. Cass says she's waiting to go into RR and say something positive, b/c she usually says negative stuff. Curtis jokes about that. Cass says she's going to bed afterward. They all look outside at George making noises, Jamie whispers something and Curtis chuckles. Cass: Eddie says I don't mind dancing with George, but one thing, he's got hairy arms. Curtis: Is that what he said? Cass laughs, "He's so funny!" They can hear George whistling and Curtis yelling something. They're laughing at the lyrics, Cass saying "Oh my god". Jamie not saying anything. Curtis picturing next week when everything's clean and all the bags will be packed. Cass says she packed and had problems finding everything, when she unpacked she laid everything out so she could pack easy. Curtis says he's already got his souvenirs packed. |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:22 pm  F3 Cass says her favorite moment of all her time might be standing on the porch. Curtis says some moments of his own, couldn't catch it. Jamie says something, audio muffled, sorry. George is now shouting outside, presumably at the camera. Cass: listen to him. Curtis says something, laughs. Cass: i'm telling you, I thought he realized that. Cass says she's fairly tired, she just can't move. Jamie says she went RR earlier, about 8, but she needs to go again. Curtis says she (Julie Chen) actually is totally cool despite all the things they say. Curtis says he hasn't ever seen her actually, neither has Cass. Curtis wants to talk to Sexy Bedtime Voice though. (Please does someone want to pick up this convo or the one outside - my shoulders are dying, strangely enough -ed.) |
Lawyerman | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:24 pm  George asks Ed if he's worn out. George says Curtis left some potatos for Ed to eat, then comments on how well washing the dishes with the hose blast works pretty good. George again talking to the public, "If you keep me in the house...next Friday night, I'll dye my hair green." George rhetorically says jokingly, "We can't understand why anyone would nominate us....We keep dancing for the team...and what do we get? We get voted out! Oh well..." George sings, "We need your vote. George and Ed. Please vote. Oh we got torpedoed." Both George and Ed spontaneously burst into Bob Seger's "Turn the Page." |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:26 pm  F3 Curtis says it's cool that they showed the HGs how much of how the show works. It's cool about the AOL poll. Cass points out it was percentages, not numbers, so no way to tell how well the show was doing. Curtis thinks it was strange how they had to rush the TV out in one unit. ***Curtis speculates that they were all just sitting there, Cass chimes in "waiting around until the show is over." Curtis adds, "Looking all stupid and whatever", laughs. (Curtis now realizes the show doesn't end when Julie Chen signs off - he is very perceptive ) Silence, Curtis sniffling, asks if it's cold. Jamie goes into the kitchen, Cass going to bathroom, Curtis will go after Cass. Curtis says he always does a hair check before he goes in. Jamie pours Curtis and herself a coffee (or tea). Curtis asks if Ja was bothered by them (Brit and Josh). Ja says she wasn't bothered at all, she was just thinking about the reward. Knowing that her mom was just one wall away. Wild! |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:28 pm  (Woohoo Lawyerman! ) F3 Jamie pours something into her coffee, gives it to Curtis, they're going to drink at the kitchen table. Curtis sets the cup down, walks over to boys room, takes off his sweatshirt, puts on a gray t-shirt, then a sweatshirt over the t-shirt. He sounds like his nose is stuffed and sniffles occasionally. F3 catches a bathroom mirror glimpse of Cass powdering her face. Jamie comes over talking to her. Cass putting lipstick on. Can hear Jamie and Curtis deciding to drink coffee on the couches. |
Lawyerman | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:31 pm  Outside, George and Eddie now sing "With a Little Help from My Friends" and assorted other songs ranging from doo wop songs to the Black Crowes, then end with "Rocky Racoon." George says, "It's pretty cool that almost all of us are up [for nominations]." Eddie solo, continues to sing "Rocky Racoon." "30 more minutes," Eddie says. Eddie and George now both break into Paul Simon's "Slip Sliding Away." |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:33 pm  F3 Jamie sits on one couch, next to the sleeping dog. Curtis sits on opposite couch. Cass waiting by RR ready to be let in. They're talking about those wicker basket things. Curtis says the guys are using two for hampers. BB comes on and apologizes, says Cass can't use the RR just yet tonight. Cass comes over, Jamie asks "I don't understand what for?" and Cass replies "The Democratic National Convention." Says it's freezing, leaves the room. Curtis asks why it is that the RR is closed during the live show. Jamie says she asked and they said b/c they get phone calls during and after the show from family, friends, fans etc. Curtis says you think? Jamie says yeah, if they see us on TV or nominations etc. BB comes on and asks Curtis to pin on her mic again, Curtis says ok. Jamie comments on how that voice is nice, but Karen hated her. Jamie with a new nickname: Jabba the Pug! Cass comes out with hooded sweatshirt on, she's reheating the apple pie. Sits in red chair. Complains that it's cold in the house all the time. Curtis and Jamie agree. Cass says she doesn't want to wait for the RR, it's not opening up until midnight. Cass says she could get 8 hrs. of sleep for the first time. unless she drinks a cup of coffee. |
Lawyerman | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:37 pm  George and Eddie continue singing Paul Simon tunes, specifically "Me and Julio (Down By the School Yard." Eddie says, "A f*ckin CD would be great right now." They finish singing "Me and Julio". E: I'm not very well liked by the computer people. You're #2 bro. People dig you bro. You and Cassandra man, are holding the old people. Brittany's got the 20-somethings. G: That could change every single day. George says he wants another roast so someone can "fry" him. Silence, then Eddie whisles a tune. |
Battlestar | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:40 pm  Eddie singing Bob Marley song. After singing Eddie says he give it all up for a Twinkie and a soda George pipes up and says "Well one thing is that you don't have any gas tonight Eddie" |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:40 pm  F3 (I didn't understand the reference to the Democratic Nat'l Convention either. -ed.) Jamie says it's been an emotionally draining week. Having to do the noms at 7pm last night and not being told about moving the live show until the last minute so they were trying to stress us. Cass says b/c the live show was so positive, maybe they were counterbalancing by stressing them out about noms and not telling them what day the show was going to be on. It couldn't have been more positive. Having them dress up like dummies (she and Curt laugh at this). Someone says "all dressed up with no place to go." Another round of discussion about how they considered the show very positive - apparently b/c of Jamie's reward, and how the noms turned out. Cass says if the reward had been something bad, they would have freaked. Curtis says he wonders if the TV audience knew that they would have just walked out of the LR if they had started to show noms. Curtis speculates if the challenge last week was a setup, knowing full well that a supermajority of them wouldn't want to do it. Jamie speculates if they're going to give poll results every week. Cass thinks it's more important on nom week. Curtis says it gives them something to talk about, cuz it gives them some idea of who will be banished and how it's going over. Jamie adds something. Curtis wondering if it's an accurate gauge. Jamie points out it's not a poll of who you want to leave, but who your favorite is. For example-- Curt says, "You could be second favorite." More into this vein. Curt says he doesn't read too much into it, but on the other hand, he is at 8 percent. He thinks it's one thing if it's a two-way runoff, but in a 6-way race it may be pretty accurate. Curtis says they may have messed with it to make some ppl feel more secure. That's okay. Pause. Actually I think they may have done something to make Brit feel better. Saying that she was on the brink. Jamie: I can see that. F3 just switched to Brit and Josh, Brit's hugging Josh, on the Love Bed. |
Lawyerman | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:40 pm  Eddie sings, and George hums, Bob Marley's "Redemption Song". George asks about Mega's sign and Eddie reminds him it said, "You can vote me out but you can't count me out." They finish "Redemption Song." Eddie says wants a twinkie right now...and beer. He talks about wanting a case of beer right now. George says it's cool that Ed at least got some beer after Mega's message. Eddie says, "20 Minutes! C'mon!" |
Lawyerman | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:45 pm  Cass comes out and George says, "See if you can hear what they're saying." (No idea what he's referring to - BB production crew?) Cass can't tell and goes inside to get the dancers something to drink. George puts on an earpiece to hear some music. BB reminds the dancers to keep dancing. They stopped moving their feet breifly so George could put on the earpiece. George yells something to the story editor, but BB doesn't respond. George and Eddie continue to dance. They both are now listening to music through earpieces. |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:46 pm  F3 Curtis says he has no clue, he could be doing bad, or just climbing his way up from 1%. Or maybe Cass never got noticed, but when she got nom'd ppl said, Hey Cass is cool! who knows. Jamie says True. Curtis says it's cool the casting director knew her name, etc. Jamie happy. Curtis says he may have been forbidden from giving her offers and stuff. Jamie says he said they were a good cast (??? not sure). Curtis says do you think that's real or not? Jamie doesn't reply. Curtis saying something about Jamie wanting to be in Hollywood community. he totally thought they would try to hide that fact. Curtis: are you bummed about not seeing your mom? Jamie: I know that's what she wanted me to do so it's okay. Jamie continuing, says they would've just been bawling and hugging the whole time, and to have her ripped away again - something about security blankets. Curtis repeats that her mom wanted her to do that, and she was at least there watching her close by. Jamie excited that she had to be right behind that door. Now they're trying to figure out RR and its connection to rest of house - esp. that other door. (Jamie not mentioning the security guard -ed.) Curt guesses her stepdad was there too, Jamie sure he was there, in studio audience. Curtis wonders if someone else had won the game, what the choice would've been, cuz it wouldn't have been the same for anyone else. Jamie saying it probably would've been positive for anyone. She talked to RR woman who thought it would be fun. She says she was talking to George about what to ask for as a reward. |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:53 pm  F3 Curtis saying something about how he figured it was Mega, and it was pretty uncool. Jamie: wouldn't it be weird if Mega was in the control room, and could watch all the cameras like what we were showering in etc.? Cass says he had been there at some point, Curtis says he could've made a return trip. Jamie tells Cass that she feels like they can make it. Curt says they kind of have a bye this week, b/c the results of the noms were easy. The banishment will be ok, b/c everyone's ok with going. Everyone's had a full experience. Curtis thinks it's cool that plus ppl get a big bonanza when they're leaving, that's cool. Curtis: never in my wildest imagination would I imagine that you'd have a six-way tie. Jamie talking about it, reviewing the votes. Curtis mentioning Brit changed her votes. Cass thinks it could come out the same way next time. Could have a 3,4 way tie. Curtis says it'd be great if there were no noms, just the public voting every week. Curtis also wonders if our supposed fans are those who would watch us, or want to listen to our wishes. Like those who love Jamie would want to banish the ones that Jamie votes for. Or those who love Cass vote to banish the ones Cass votes for. Jamie hypothesizes that maybe they would vote for the ones that voted for their person. Curtis: god they're going to have a field day playing with us on banishment day. Jamie points out the audience is different than those who vote, Cass says those who pay a buck to vote. Jamie says the setup of the site might impact those who vote. Curt guesses that they know the polls are an imperfect indicator and therefore it was ok to give them the info. (Again: Curtis is very perceptive -ed.) They continue to talk...Curt says RR asked him about Cass and Josh. If he thought they were cocky b/c their numbers were so small (in the banishment vote). Asked him about himself, Curt says compared to that he got in by the skin of his teeth. Cass says it's not accurate b/c Karen wanted to lose and get out. Curtis says as far as that goes, it's good for them (Cass and Josh) to know that so few voted for them. |
Lawyerman | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:55 pm  After some dancing to their earpieces, George comments to Eddie, "That was an awesome song." They continue dancing. A minute or two of silence passes by and George says, "This song's bad." They talk about dancing schedule rotations and sleep schedule. George says he's going to "crash" when he's done with his shift. More silence and dancing. Eddie breaks the silence by whistling the theme song to "The Good, Bad, and the Ugly." George and Eddie wave to the people inside the house. (Now the camera #1 switches from the dancers outside to the love bed with Josh and Brit. I'll continue with the love bed.) |
Teecee | Thursday, August 24, 2000 - 10:57 pm  F3 Curtis says when Julie announced the poll and was going on, he knew he was going to be last. Cass says when "your fans" (said sort of like "your people") see him marked for banishment, they'll mobilize for him. Curtis thinks this is the last time for him. Cass thinks the popularity poll isn't life or death whereas the banishment vote is. Curtis thinks the poll numbers's are a pretty good indicator of opportunity afterward, b/c you're more loved. So Brit will have some opportunities when she gets out, that's pretty cool. (Jamie doesn't really say anything to Curtis's faux pas - she only got 10% remember -ed.) Cass says the coffee table is out of sync so that it makes everything else look weird. Curtis says he's just wondering what the hell else they were doing out here. Cass jokes maybe they buried treasure. They're laughing about Pugita again, calling her fat. Cass says the thing is she's a middle-aged dog. if she were a puppy you could cuddle her and stuff. Cass says they really dropped the ball by letting her eat the hair dye. Curtis jokes, "We're not responsible enough to have a dog!" Talking about how many ailments the dog has. Curtis says they're taking the dog to the vet every week now. "Granted the last time was our fault! (laughs) We broke our pug." I'm finished for the night...hope someone else takes up the LR convo.... |
