Hi Fruitbat, here is a brief summary of the going ons of the houseguests at the current moment - Britt is still looking for an apartment in L.A., still living between Karen & some friends there, still nothing definite on a job. Curtis already started a new job in L.A. and has moved to his own(?) apartment, just came back from N.Y. to go SNL with Cass and an award show. Jamie is commuting between Seattle and L.A., still nothing definite on a job for her either. Josh is in the process of moving to L.A. too, also nothing definite on a job for him either. Karen lives in Burbank with her daughters, and is working as a receptionist in a Hollywood-related outfit, still pursuing other career opportunities. Eddie is not in the L.A. area, was just visiting Britt, Karen, and Josh there and looking at showbiz opportunities, went back to New York. He gave some of his new opportunities on the BB main site - a role in an independent film and possibly a role in Broadway play.

Josh left an update for his fans on the Josh Souza Online site. The text of the letter below:

I've met with hosting and commercial agents in Hollywood and have been taking general meetings with Nickelodeon and MTV. I am also in the process of moving to LA. Last Sunday I took Eddie to Six Flags Magic Mountain and hope to get you the pictures. I plan on going to see my family and friends over the holidays, catch up on some more movies, play some tackle football with the buds, and eat lots and lots of turkey.

May God Bless you and yours this Thanksgiving.

Love.
Josh

Update from Brittany taken from the Reality 411 website:

An Update from Brittany Herself... Sent to me [Deema of Deemahangout's] on Nov. 23, 12:56AM by Brittany Petros. You can send Fan mail here...BrittsFansRock@aol.com. Hello everyone! Well, It's 3:00am and I'm now at Eddie's. Everyone asleep so I though I'd catch up on some e-mails. I guess first off I'd like to say that Eddie and I didn't mean anything by the baby-sitting comment. I actually typed Eddie's write-up for him (he can't type worth crap) and we didn't think anything of it. We were just being stupid. I also wanted to add in the "We are just friends part" because I thought if people know that we went on a road trip together and then I'm spending Thanksgiving with him they might think something is going on. I guess I'm a little nervous to say anything especially now because of how the whole Josh thing has gotten blown out of proportion.

Also I know there have been a lot of mean things said about me, Dawn, and Josh over the chat, radio show, and Magic Mountain. Quick note about Dawn. She knows everything that has gone on in my personal and private life since I've been out of the house. She is a good person and I wouldn't have made it through these past couple of months without her. Life has been wonderful and life has sucked since my banishment, it depends on the day. She is not PC and never will be. When I am hurt she is hurt -- she doesn't always react in the best way, but she has been loving and I would like to stick up for Josh for one moment. I've seen some people bashing him for not inviting me to Magic Mountain with him and Eddie. In his defense, he invited Eddie, Karen, and myself. I choose not to go -- and I've chosen to put the past behind me. Too many positive things are happening for both myself and Josh to dwell on anything negative.

Ok. So this is what I've been up to. This past week has been a Big Brother week for me. Eddie wanted to see people while he was in town so we had a few gatherings. Monday Curtis, Karen, Eddie, myself and some of the behind the scenes people from BB met for dinner. (Jamie was sick) Tuesday night about 20 people (from BB) met at the Standard. It was so much fun. Karen wasn't able to make it this time but Jamie came (she was feeling a little bit better). I brought Eddie to the airport Friday, had some meetings, and then went to a production party. It was fun because some of the people that worked for Big Brother were there. Saturday I went to the UCLA / USC football game. There was a tailgating party before hand and then another gathering afterward. Sunday I finally got some headshots taken. I swear I've never worn so much make-up in my life! I'm really excited to see the photos; the shoot was so much fun.

As far as career goes I have been offered a few things. I was offered a part in a movie and a hosting job. (I haven't said yes to either yet) There are some other potential jobs that are being negotiated but nothing has been agreed upon. As far as the doll factory thing and the bakery thing -- I have no idea what those are about. I've never spoken with a doll factory or a bakery about anything.

I'm now in NY -- Eddie's family is great. Eddie and I have some meetings tomorrow, Thanksgiving Thurs., and then he is going to show me all of the sites Friday. I'm not sure what we're going to do this weekend but we do have dress rehearsal for the Michael Awards and then the actual show on Monday. I fly back to LA on Nov. 29th.
I want to thank you all again for your support and for sticking up for me when people say bad things. I think people forget how hurtful words can be -- I just don't look at mean sites anymore! I hope all of you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Love ya -- Britt

Just to let you all know, Eddie was on Hollywood Squares tonight (11/23). Maybe some of you can still catch it since it's syndicated.

I think someone said he will be on tomorrow night too. I like what Tom Bergeron said to him...."You're out of the house and you are now in a box!" I thought that was cute!

Josh just left a message in his official Yahoo club:

Hello everyone. Because I have been so incredibly busy I have just recently learned of this web site. I am amazed at the wonderful job Toni has done in establishing a collection of information on me. I appreciate the members of this club more than you will ever realize. I want you all to know that although my updates have been slow in the making it is not because of any neglect to the fans on my part. I have just been very very busy trying to make my way back to your television sets. I am moving to LA next Monday. I have signed with a top modeling agency and have been taking meetings with several cable networks. Things have been going very well. Your ongoing support of my career and the loyalty you have maintained to web sites such as this are really a blessing to me. Once I am no longer living out of my suitcase I will have more time to talk directly with the fans and hopefully join in on some chats. I wish everyone a great Holiday season and hope everyone finds that magic in the stars that I've been able to find. Take care and God bless.

your bud,

Josh

EW Article on BB - page 14 December 1 issue:
'Big' Cheesy'

SHOWBIZ OPPORTUNITIES FLOODED THE SURVIVORS AFTER they returned to civilization -- a starring role in Rob Schneider movie for Colleen; Nash Bridges guest spots for Gervase, Jenna, and others -- but what of the Big Brother brethren? Have they received the same Hollywood welcome? We checked in with six of the roomates and found that since Survivor's lower-rated reality sibling ended Sept. 29, the options have been decidedly low-rent.

  • EDDIE MCGEE - After guesting on Hollywood Squares (which aired Nov. 23 and 24), Brother winner McGee will play a lothario in the indie comedy Drop Dead Roses. He's also cowriting an autobiography with The Real World Miami's Joe Patane. Held victory party at Applebee's in Manhattan Oct. 30.
  • JOSH SOUZA - The boyish runner-up topped People.com's "Sexiest Man Alive" poll. Though still looking for an agency, Souza appeared on the Santa Barbara cable-access talk show What's Up! His adopted hometown of Fresno, Calif., declared Oct. 17 "Josh Souza Day."
  • "CHICKEN" GEORGE BOSWELL - He landed agent Sherri Spilllane (rep to six Survivors) and will play the Clown King in December Chicago-area production of Nutcracker on Ice; he also made an appearance at a Rockford, Ill., Beef-A Roo eatery Oct. 23. And he's selling his '91 Ford truck on eBay.
  • JAMIE KERN - Kern was dubbed "Hollywood" by her castmates and has signed with ICM, but her biggest break was serving as a "win a date" prize a Seattle talk show Northwest Afternoon Oct. 30. Posted pictures of herself wearing Big Brother half-shirt and bikini bottoms on jamiekern.org.
  • BRITTANY PETROS - She's signed with the William Moris Agency, but her most high-profile gig so far was a recent guest spot on Danny Bonaduce's morning radio show Jamie and Danny in Burbank. Petros is currently auditioning for parts and looking into acting classes.
  • WILL MEGA - The first ousted Brother-ite guested in Queen Latifah Nov.2 and has lectured in colleges on activism. Meanwhile, Mega is still looking for representation: "I wasn't immediately picked up by a talent agency like some of the others, even though they were boring."

Hey,

It has been quite a while since I have been back here. I have noticed that you have posted some update on the other house guests but not my fav.

So here is an update for those you wish to know. Jordan is doing great. She has quit her co-hosting job at the radio show to work on her Book. She has sent copies of the book to agents for comment and hope to hear back from them soon. She is still with Ben and getting her life back into a normal routine. Just over a week ago I was lucky enough to meet her in the twin cities, and would like you all to know that she is a warm, caring, intelligent person. I do concider her a new friend and am glad of that. :)

Ok, I was reading the above update from brittany and felt totally lost...Who the heck is Dawn and why should we know her? Can someone help???

Prince

Saturday, November 25, 2000 - 11:42 pm Click here to edit this post

Hi Ledarney, not that I'm avoiding posting about Jordan, but she hasn't been in any online chats, radio shows, media for the past month. I don't know of any websites she updates. The last I heard/saw anything of her was her chat with Nerve.com. She also said to some people who wanted her on chat or radio that she wants to leave BB behind her. Its good that you did update us about her.

Hi Fabnsab, Dawn is a friend of Britt who on Eli's show made some bad remarks about Josh, Jamie, Jordan and George. She was hosting a party for Britt and Eddie in Minnesota at that time of the radio talk.

George is going to be in Nutcraker on Ice? Does he even know how to skate? Should be interesting if true.

Guess they didn't update Karen and Curtis because they actually found jobs.

So how did Eddie do on Hollywood Squares? They probably put him in the top middle or bottom middle where no one picks, so they put the least known celebrities there.

Check in less often but still have the site in my Favorites List. Appreciate the updates on everyone.

I too was lost about the Dawn comment. Thanks for clearing that up.

Will keep looking in. And will certainly be back full-time if/when there is a BB2.

Whatwillidonow, I just picked up that same rumor about George this afternoon. It was posted on a discussion board where I hang out but I don't know how dependable the source is.

Doc99, Eddie said on the BB2000 official site, that "rumor" has it that George has left for L.A., and it was also mentioned by the webmaster of the Chicken George Central site at one time.

Here are some e-mails Brittany has made to some of her fans that are posted in some other update sites:

1. Brittany moving in with Curtis sent to tearsofglitter:
"Oh you're such a sweetie. Ok I'll tell you something that should make you happy. Curtis and I rented a house and we are moving in together on Dec. 1st. (Just friends no romance).

Anyway thanks for watching the show and taking time to send me an e-mail.

Love ya -- Britt"


2. Brittany "not friends" with Josh anymore sent to NSgirl:
"Thanks so much for your message. Wow, a little morsel
about Josh. Well
ummmm what do I want to say. Actually, I don't even want
to go there! hee
hee

I know that I will always be friends with Curtis and
Eddie. Karen and I will
always keep in touch but she is a mom and in a different
place then "us
kids".

Curtis, Karen and Eddie are caring and are not letting
this "fame thing" get
to their heads. The three of them are down to earth and
I would be honored
if they wanted to be my friends forever.

Thanks again,
Britt "

I can't believe I'm getting a jump on Prince for once. Karen is on-line and left a message at her e-group fan club. Here's what she said.

Just a quick thank you to all the fans that cared enough to send me messages and set up web sites. I am finally back online thanks to a generous man who gave me a computer. I will try to check-in
occasionally as time allows.

My family is doing great and loving CA. I think life here is wonderful. My oldest son Jeremy is loving out here in Dec. and all the family will be together for Christmas. Thanks again for all of your support.

Love,
Karen Fowler
