Jamie and Curtis convo in girls room.

Curtis says he feels totally normal..how he's not a personality. Jamie tells him that he's done some extrordinary things. Jamie doesn't feel that the polls mean anything. Jamie thinks if they meant something, they wouldn't have revealed it to the HG.

Jamie: I think one of the reason they let us know about the polls is b/c 6 ppl up for nomination...to create drama and paranoia.

Curtis: it's weird how everybody's at peace and get along.

In other room, there's rustling of the covers (I assume b/t Brit and Josh)

Jamie says she doesn't think anyone can really date in the house (?)

Will try but this is my first time. Brit and Josh in bedroom, in dark. Not saying much but when they do, it is in very soft whispers. Brit mentioned banishment and the difference between rational and emotional. Not much happening. Nothing here to increase the ratings.

Jamie laying on the love bed. Curtis is sitting beside her. Jamie asked Curtis to call her mom if he is banished, especially after what happened. Jamie just say that she wished George would win, that money would be great but she would have a chance to make money in the future. But is would be so "cool" for George who has worked hard all of his life. But that she would like to win. Curtis said that he would like to win and some other stuff that I couldn't understand. She said that she wished George would get infomercials and not go back to roofing. Said that he has such a good heart. Jamie said that she didn't think that he was controversial enough to win (little do that know!!). And Curtis did agree.

Jamie and Curtis are discussing whether the poll info they were given really will reflect anything in the voting. They are discussing how the poll info was given to create drama since 6 nominated.

Jamie: They have one full relationship going on.

Curtis: Really? He didn't know about it!!!! (What house is he living in?)
Jamie: I think that it is nice that they are able to be more comfortable now.
(I missed some in here, phone call.)

Now discussing the questions last night. Jamie said that she didn't think that everyone understood the Karen thing is why she was two-faced and loyal.

Said this time will be harder in some ways because everyone gets along and no one wants to leave.

Curtis and Jamie in Bedroom talking:

Ja - How much would it cost to fly a plane overhead?
Cu - 1000?
Ja - Do you think there are ways whoever gets banished could make contact with those of us left in the house? Could Curtis please call her Mom if he gets banished - maybe have her fly a plane overhead - Jamie would pay.

Jamie is hoping someone like George - with 3 kids, etc. will win - not so much her - because she doesn't really need the money - can make money in her "career."

"Popularity" poll as announced by BB must not be significant, or otherwise they would not have been reveled - only revealed to cause controversy.

Cu - There has been peace in the house for the past two weeks - that's what makes things like the questionnaire last night more difficult.

Brittany and Josh napping and Curtis and Jamie talking on all four feeds. No idea what is happening with others.

Trying this for the first time:

Jamie and Curtis were in the girls' room (Curtis sitting and Jamie lying down on the same bed)talking about why BB told them about the AOL poll. To create drama, Jamie thinks. Curtis talked about everyone being at peace.

Jamie said they have one relationship in the house that's "full on" and a lot of friendships. Net congestion, but I think Jamie just told Curtis something about Josh and Brit (ed: the kiss?)Curtis says he didn't realize what point their relationship was in.

Talking about the surveys the HGs filled out, the questions about loyalty, Jamie said that she knew people didn't understand "the Karen situation."

Jamie says there's no one who wants to go (from the house), no one she wants to go.

Lost the server for a few minutes.

They're whispering, Curtis just whispered "I don't think we're really being watched!"

Net congestion so I'm posting, but I have a terrible slow phone line so I don't think it will be helpful for me to try again. Sorry, I appreciate the work all of you do.

Curtis & Jamie talking in girls room. talking about prospects of banishment.

talking about house dynamic and how peaceful it has been for last two weeks. Jamie points out "yeah, we now even have two people dating." Curtis seems very surprised and says "really, are they DATING now?" Jamie confirms. Curtis seems surprised but thinks it's cool. He guesses that the dancing is what finally got them together.

They are now discussing how being labeled "dishonest" and "two-faced" are the worst. Jamie convinced the two-faced thing is only coming from the Karen incident. "That's the only thing, that's it. Maybe because I was friends with Jordan & Mega? I don't care, you just have to take it with a grain of salt."

<lost feed>

Curtis thinks they won't get the puzzle done, even if they were all really trying. He's done the math (so to speak) and thinking through all the HUGE sections they need to finish, and how slow they are going, they can't do it in the 2 1/2 days left. Jamie: "every time I come out and see that whole bowl of all-black pieces I think..." Curtis: "oh shit??" Jamie: "yeah"

They're laughing about how dumb they were to bet 50% this time. Think they only did it because of the pug's vet bill in the last grocery round.

Curtis saying he's liked the challenges in last two weeks -- mud, sumo wrestling. He wonders if they're throwing more at them because they need more stuff. "Maybe Mega & Jordan were THAT controversial? I guess maybe karen in her way was too."

Curtis and Jamie again in bedroom. F1 and F2

Curtis: if there's one thing I've learned from being in the House is that without all the cameras around, you can say, do, feel etc. whatever you want. But with the cameras and mics, you are constantly on guard about how you act and you have to constantly think about what you say, do, think so you don't appear dishonest or inconsistent. I think this could be a good thing....that we will all learn to watch what we say.

Curtis talks about what if someone says one thing and does something else and they (BB) string all the clips together to show how inconsistent you are.

Curtis doesn't think they will finish the puzzle. Curtis says he isn't a puzzle person. Curtis asks Jamie if she cares about the puzzle she says yes....b/c of the 50% grocery allowance. Jamie talks about staring at all the black puzzle pieces and going crazy.

Curtis thinks they got greedy with this challenge after losing 40% of their allowance from pug's vet visit.

Curtis says how they have done so much fun things in the last two weeks. Curtis wonders if they are throwing this fun stuff at the HG b/c no one is being controversial like Mega/Jordan and Karen.

Curtis asks Jamie about BB in other countries...how big a deal it was to be nominated. Jamie says something about
how the German BB everything was in German so she
couldn't really research that.

Curtis thinks it's not a big deal to be nominated 4 times. Thinks that the eventual winner will most likely be nominated at least twice.


Curtis doesn't think now that there will be any surprises with how they act and behave. Curt was initially paranoid about how other ppl acted (didn't catch all this?)

Jamie says some of these things you won't know until we get outside. Curtis says that in real life, you probably wouldn't know what other ppl think unless given a scenario.

Jamie: this is such a disfunctional house...disfunctional society. They take such intellectual leaders and puts them into a pawn.

Jamie talks about the amazing ppl in this house and how they are all lab rats.

Curtis talks about rr asking them what he misses most about outside. Didn't catch what he said. Curtis says he likes the house b/c there's a lack of responsibility.

Jamie asks Curtis if the RR asked him what they asked Brit, who they'd have relations with outside the house. Curtis says they didn't ask him that.

Curt says he would still maintain relations with Jamie, Brit, Cass and Jordan (don't know if he said anyone else).

they both wonder what Jordan is up to.

Curtis mentioned this was like summer camp. He did not think that he had grown or changed. But then he did go on to say that he might be more aware of his actions now, because of the way he guards what he says in the house.

Curtis said that they greedy after the pug thing for money and wagered too much money on the puzzle.

Curtis says that he doesn't think that there will be any surprises when they get home and watch the tapes. Jamie had said basically the same thing.

Jamie said that it is funny how people who are leaders in the outside world are just like pawns in the house.

Jamie asked Curtis if RR asked him about who he would maintain relationship with and he mentioned Jamie, Cassandra, Jordan maybe, Josh possibly. Does not see him calling George but he could see where George would talk. But they mention it is because Curtis and George are at different places in life.

Now talking about Karen and how she is doing on the outside and her marital relationship. Curtis said that it seems likes forever that Karen left. Discussing the way time is weird in the house. Jamie said that it would not be weird seeing Karen again.

Cass came into the bedroom. She is going to be laying down.

People are mellow becuase of puzzle, weather, banishment.

Sounds like chicken and eggplant parmesan may be dinner. Jamie said that we would have leftovers.

Buffing... posting......

F3
Brit and Josh are together on the love bed. Their heads are close to each other, but Brit is facing away from Josh. They appear to be sleeping, someone's breathing is particularly loud (I assume Brit since her battery is hanging off the bed, so her mic might be up by her face - but of course no way to tell). There's no "action" going on so not much else to report...

F4 shows three people sleeping in the boys' room, I believe George and Brit and Josh (Eddie may be on his bed, farthest from the door, off camera). I believe George is sleeping outside the covers, with his sneakers on, and has there appears to be a bag - or something with wrapping paper, or some kind of rectangular thing anyway - at the foot of his bed (not his pillow, since he's using it). No action here either, all are sound asleep and no snoring. Correction from earlier, Brit and Josh are in Josh's bed.

F1 and F2

Jamie, Curtis and Cass

Cass saying in other BB houses, that they fought alot. Cass thinks BB thinks that because we've been here 2 months, we should be getting on each other's nerves.

Cass says we are all trying to avoid an unpleasant working environment...at the heart we are all harmonious. Cass says BB thinks the HG have exaggerated their harmonious conditions.

Curtis: I don't know if that's right though. I think at core everybody here gets along...there are things we do that annoy each other. In the real world, ppl would walk away.. but everybody here doesn't seem like the type to walk away..we suck up and deal with it.

Cass: we know we're living in a superficial world...there has to be some kind of happy medium. I think they chose us b/c we're interesting etc. But now BB thinks we've become "one person". But I also think that they (BB) misread some of our personalities. For example, they see me as diplomatic so I pick and choose. (ugh...couldn't catch all she said)

Curt: it's weird, I don't know what they expected from me. don't know if they got what they want.

Cass: I don't think they are disappointed in us as individuals...as a group they think we've copped out.

Curt: do they think of us as tv characters? When you see Curtis you think "blah blah blah"

Cass: I think they think we are kinda bland.

Curt: some ppl here maybe larger than life but in this house I might not think that (?)

Cass: I'm trying to decide whether to put curlers in my hair.

(okay, will post now)

Cass talking about BB and the reasoning behind last nights questionaire. BB is disappointed in them as a group not individuals and that they copped out in the house. She says that she thinks BB misread some of them. Curtis says he does know if people are self censoring. Talking about Cassandra's hair. Need to wet it and put curlers in it and sleep that way all night but she has a headache and isn't looking forward to it. Curtis ask if she is going to red room but she says she will lay down.

f-1 curtis -ten now shrinking down
cass- bb wants hg to be more conflict directed..cass says all hg try to have harmony...bb wants less harmony...cass- says maybe hg are exagerating the harmony desire beyond what their inate character trait is...

curtis- says there is a core in house that really gets a long...and also the personalities are not ones that would fight about things..not a big deal..

Cass- not just avoiding conflict - superficial level dealing with peeps...she thinks bb has a point..she thinks needs to be a happy medium...we hav become the same person she thinks bb was saying...

ed. my sound is very blurry sorry.

cass- saying allowing opportunities to go by..when she could have an impact but has not taken the opportunity..

Cur - yes its weird...don't know what expected..
cass- dont think bb disappointed in peeps as individuals but think copped out as a group...

curt- cass the bablbl cass babble

cass- bb concerned that hg are becoming colorless...(ah the ratings issue)...

cur- larger than life don't feel that way at al;l...normal in here...he's talking about himself and his walk of like..he feels like everyone else even if perceived by others maybe differently

cass- should she put curlers in her hair or leave it alone...won't wash tonite...she ahs a headache ergo the sunglasses..

curt- talking about liking curls...but with ehadache curls may be out,..

sorry about typing will psot

back in the girl's room---

ca: they think nerves should be raw by now. that we shouldn't be tip-toeing around each other as much as we do

cu: do you think we do that?

ca: we make a great deal of effort to avoid any kind of conflict. a part of our character is to have harmony.

cu: there are things we would do to annoy each other. in the real world, we would walk away. you just learn to suck up the annoyance rather than to fight about it. I don't see what the big deal is.

ca: i think it's about more than that. there has to be some kind of happy medium. issue is they chose us all because they thought we were extremely interesting and would make a unique mixture. but i think they think we have become one person, all the same person. but i also think they misread our personalities in some ways. in my case, i'm very diplomatic and i'm going to pick and choose when to say things. they probably think that i'm censoring myself.

Curtis and Cassandra talking about Curtis visit to RR and their questions about possible return to real world for him. Cassandra talking about taking one day at time. life in house becoming like one long day. Saying they all want to stay, that it has become their real life. Like when someone a hostage and takes time to go back to living a regular life and will take time to understand what has happened while they have been living this experiment.

f-1 cass- could talk about having an impact - high points and low points

tomorrow someone is going to walk out there (in studio) and are we a blip on screan or are we huge asks cass.

Curt says was not very emotional about staying or going last time...but this time he wants to stay and everyone else wants to stay...but it is his second time to be nominated...it hasn't hit him this time like first time..and now he is sure he will see these guys again...so even if him..

cass- something about questions they will ask

curt- reiterates he will see some if not all of the hg after the show is over...

curt-like everyday life every day..summer camp..

cass- it does become mundane ..it is your life...

Jamie is saying nothing for a long time...

Curt- when I went to law school..it was collecge life...when out of here will have trouble aadjusting...

cass- agrees

Jamie- made a sound

Curt and cass carying on most of discussion

Cas- just to understand the impact on America to be this experience...out of here not have to answer to anyone..to wake up at 9:30 and not have bb make you do it earlier..

curt- I can go on and not have any of them in his life..but

cass- the experience is richer..Tv related stuff..people who lived in the house...try to understand...

talking about how they are being peceived...

Curt finds something very amusing and gives a big laugh..I can't udnerstand the sound...

cass-from outside looking..oh my god...why did he do this thing so and so...

Curt- people may not undetsand why they gave up the respect that they had on outside before going in to bb house.

casss- says want to test yourself...after colelge don't have these opportunities...

F1 and F2

Curtis talking about his Redroom visit.

Curtis saying how he felt this could be his last rr visit. He thinks he should say something profound. But he didn't say anything profound. Curtis jokes that maybe he is bland!

Cass: the idea that tomorrow that you and me will walk out here and ....apprehension about public thought.

Curt: last time I was nominated I was very sad. I didn't want to go. It was emotional. But this time, I've had a full 7 weeks, I totally don't want to go...everyday seems to be fun. But I"m not sad this time. Maybe it's cause 6 of us up for nomination, maybe it's cause I've had 7 weeks in here...maybe it's cause I'm ready to go. But it hasn't hit me yet. I won't have this life again...I may not get to see you guys for a month or longer.

Cass: did they ask you about your thoughts?

Curt: they ask questions about how I was feeling. It's all a blur now. What I missed, what I got out of it etc. The things that was best is that I will leave here with friends I've made for life. We've all shared something unique.

Cass: absolutely

Curt: Living here was sorta like summer camp. Even with the cameras etc. living here felt totally normal. The full impact of what's around us hasn't hit me. Felt normal.

Cass: you have to deal with this situation...take it one day at a time. IT does become mundane thinking that this is your life. so you think of it as one day in your life.

Curt: I adapt to change pretty easily...etc. work, school etc. But the flipside is that I don't give up some stuff. For example, going to law school, I had trouble leaving my school friends behind. I have trouble leaving things behind.

Cass: if you are held hostage, even for a few weeks, it takes time to get used to things, let go. It will take us a long time to understand the impact of living in front of the USA for 2 months. Living here, you have to get up when they tell us etc. But outside, you can get up when you want...have more freedom.

Curt: we have become each other friends...it's true we're all strong and independent. I can go on and and be fine if Cass were not in my life, if Jamie were not in my life etc. But it'll be sad that they won't be in my life anymore.

Cass: It'll be strange ...tv related stuff. Everyone will know you name etc. My friends and family will try to understand how I'm feeling but they won't.

Cass: some of the challenges...my friends might wonder why are we subjecting ourselves to that. The bicycle challenge...that was obsurd! We chose to do that. From the outside looking in...they are probably thinking why we would do that to ourselves. I suspect ppl outside would wonder why we do this.

Curt: Ppl will think we are trained animals. won't understand why.

cass: I think ppl will know we wanted to do something unique...that as adults we won't have these kinds of opporunities anymore.

Curt: there's just one word...we're having fun.

Cass: plus you got to live with a Pug. In outside world, you wouldn't.

Curt: I love the pug...she's sweet but oh so dull! laughs

Jamie is here but not saying anything.

Curt: this is weird.

Cass: but it could be that there are only 2 ppl up for banishment.

Curt: with 2 instead of 6 it's different. Not being nominated at certain times may be to your advantage. But if your number is up, it's meant to be. It's fate, which I do believe in. Fate, and God.

Curt: with everyone else, you either buy yourself two to four weeks. But if it's fate, it's fate. Are you ready to go?

Cass: If I have to go, I won't fall apart about it. Obviously I want to stay. As you get to the last days, the will to want to stay gets higher. Oh gee, I actually have a chance to be in final 3. When Mega and Jordan left, I felt bad for them cause they didn't get full experience. With Karen, I felt she got her 6 weeks.

Cass: It would be great to be here in Sept. I think dynamics will change and things will be completely different as the #'s start dwindling. I also think the group will begin to interact in a different way. It'll be harder to get into ppls nerves with less ppl.

curt: I think a bit different. If I make it past tomorrow, I feel I could see the end. Of course, I want to stay til the end. I think it would only get better. But now I've been away long enough.

(sorry, gotta post this before I lose it!)

Boys' room feed - movement on Josh's bed. Checking on F3 shows that Brit has turned over on her back. Someone's snoring now - no way to tell who - my guess would be George (or Eddie if he's in the room - Josh is still on his side).

C&C talking about banishment. Talking about it being easier because there are 6 nominated versus 2. Curtis asks Cassandra if she is ready to leave. Longer you are there, the more you think about being in the final 3. She talks about the process. Feels sorry for Mega and Jordan because they didn't get the full experience. Curtis says that Karen missed out on the coolest challenges. They talk about not knowing who and why the public votes for people and the criteria they use. Cassandra said that until she got to LA she never realized the full extent of what was happening ie:TV Guide and other magazines. Since they are cut off from the world they have no idea of the reaction of the public to the show and what to expect when they leave. Talking about difficulties of the next few days. Doing the puzzle, possiblility of losing grocery money.
