Jezzedout, you put in a lot of '2 cents' and they all add up. Cass & Curtis had an entertaining conversation, Cass & George were a very strange mix, Jamie and George sang, did infomercials and acted silly. Then Eddie came on with Jamie - and anything remotely resembling conversaion or entertainment vanished. Interesting dynamics. Now that Josh is taking Eddie's place with Jamie, will Britt keep coming outside, or get some sleep!

Well, looks like Britt and Eddie will keep Josh and Jamie chaperoned. And Britt's going to be entertainment director - think I'm going to bed.

Ccc... I've enjoyed reading a number of your posts on these boards (and coincidentally, just this evening posted a follow up to your thread "Is BB messing with us too?") and have always enjoyed your insightful, articulate analysis of the BB happenings. I was glad to see you appreciated my take on the dance marathon. I actually just checked in on the feeds a few moments ago and I think you're right... Brit just can't bring herself to break away from Jaime and Josh, and when I signed off, she was still sitting outside keeping watch over the dancing pair. It will be interesting to see how this plays out... could become quite problematic as the week wears on as Brit forgoes sleep during her dance shift, as well as Jaime's. Throw in the "all dance" wildcard and I think we're going to see some pretty tired girls in the next 72 hours.

This is going to be an interesting week...

I agree this is a great challenge. The best thus far. All the reasons have been expertly reviewed.
I'll add here that shifts in relationships that we cannot hear through conversation will happen too. And may show up in the nominations.

It shakes up the cliques. With this, comes sharing time with another HG they may not particularly connect with. (Josh/Cutis) A lot of time with George could prove irritating....etc Possibly other bonds too. Eddie isolates. He now will be forced to communicate in a different way. His banter cannot survive any length of time. Each personality may connect or be repelled by someone they had not thus far.

Should've gone to bed like I promised...
Britt stayed until it was her turn to dance with Josh - at which point they were quickly left alone. Most of the time has been spent dancing very closely with Josh singing slow songs. No one relieved Josh, either. They keep this up, you guys may get your kiss. I sure couldn't dance this closely, this long, with someone I liked as much as Brit likes Josh and NOT kiss him. He basically told her that he won't kiss her, she'd have to start it. Right now, she appears too mesmerized to act. She's lost in him.

I hope BB wakes up and realizes that they will dance better with better music...Wonder if the music sucks because they have to pay to air the good stuff and there to cheap to do that?

Ccc and Teecee..thanks so much for your work with the feeds. I really appreciate it. There is a consensus that Brit will nominate Josh. Doesn't seem likely does it?

Have Brit and Eddie danced together yet? That will be entertaining for sure.

Thanks Fruitbat - but I haven't done any feeds in awhile, I'm not very good or fast enough. I usually check and as long as someone else is doing it...

I don't think Britt nominating Josh is as likely now, either. He sends her mixed signals and she might decide he'll "grow accustomed to her face". False hope, I think. If she wises up, she just might vote him again - but the girl is sooo smitten, it's a total wild card what she'll do. IMNSHO !

Yeah Ccc I haven't seen your name in awhile but I was also refering to your bringing info from them to this thread. I often do not have the time to read them all and like that I can get up to speed from contributers like you!

If Josh isn't going to be targeted by the girls then it must be George and Eddie.

Wow a dance marathon challenge! This is dancing? Now a week of real dancing may have been entertaining, but a week of holding hands and shuffling feet ...... And no music..... I am still interested in the final three but the rest of this is just too boring.

Maybe you should have posted this thought under the already open thread called "Weekly Challenge: 24 Hours 2 HG Dancing!!" instead of creating a new one?? Just a suggestion.

This dance contest should not be too tough. There are 3.5 couples in the house, which means that each person has to dance approximately 7 hours per day -- with lots of rest between sessions. This would have been child's play to Jane Fonda and (can't remember the lead guy's name), in "they shoot horses...". They should've listened to Eddie! And this outta take care of all the bitchin' about being bored!

For the love of God...

This is supposed to be a dance marathon not a singing marathon. I am so sick of hearing Britt, Josh and Jamie sing. SHUT UP!!!!!

I have to admit, I am enjoying this challenge. It is bringing out interesting sides to people. Just hearing Brittany and Eddie sing Lisa Loeb--that was adorable. This challenge is making me like them more. And stirring things up more. Without a difficult personality something else has to be introduced to get them to mix it up a bit.

If your sick of their singing then close your feed or turn off the volume.

I loved seeing Curtis and Cass dance yesterday. They were cute together.

Morbid Fascination Moment: Bikini and Geo were singing Johnny B. Goode. My ears couldn't stand the onslaught, yet I couldn't make myself turn the volume off ha ha! You know, like the horrific car accident that you cannot turn your eyes from as you drive by...

Twiggyish - what did you think about Curtis telling Cass last night about the girl friend he sort of wanted to date, who is 35? Cass is not much older than that I believe...

For a moment I thought of the classiest couple in the world coming out of this show - then I thought again...

I find it just another stupid "challenge". They have had a few good ones, like the sumo match. But the bad ones out weigh the good. Thats just ...

My 2 cents.

Flint. This may be better than you think. Jamie is exposing herself. She just can't help it. She is discussing noms with each dance partner. We could see Jamie nominated and we can credit this challenge. Love her or hate her it will make a good show.

At first this challenge seemed lame, but I do like the fact that it's forcing people to have conversations that might not have talked much before. They have all gotten so comfortable in their routines and with each other, that they weren't doing much that was "new".

George and Brit have been warned 3 times in the last 30 minutes or so of their dancing. They were eating nachos and "dancing" and BB warned them that eating was not dancing. They heard some noise outside the walls and started yelling to see if they could get a response. BB warned them that they were not supposed to talk to outside people. Then they stopped touching and got a third warning.

How many "mistakes" are these folks going to be allowed on this challenge? There were other warnings last night, too, but I can't remember the specifics off hand.

Maybe BB will let them go all the way to the end and then tell them they failed based on all the different mistakes and warnings they received along the way.

That'd be good, especially if it was George that screwed up. "They're fryin' the old man"

As silly as the challenge seemed when assigned, I think that it has been the first true mind game played by bb. The lack of sleep is taking it's toll and unfortunately, it is not caused by staying up all night drinking beer.

All the pain, none of the fun. The normal nomination & live show stresses are compounded by the lack of sleep and minor annoyances of people sleeping through their start time, sore hips, feet and backs.

Wasn't Brit instrumental in the planning of the dance rotation? Could she be spending any more time w/Joshua?

Oh well, at least they stopped singing.

And the one time Jamie finally got to dance with Josh, Brittany stayed virtually the entire time to "chat." It was hilarious.

Rufus...she danced with him the very first night and Brit came and chatted the entire time then too!!!!! Jamie comlained to Curtis about that . I love it.
