Lisa | Thursday, September 14, 2000 - 05:51 pm  September 14 - Day 73 The show began with Day 69 (Sunday) and Curtis returning to the BB house from the Emmy Awards. All the house guests followed him around the house asking him questions about what the awards were like. Curtis told them about the limosine ride, the booze, and the interviews while on the red carpet. He said that it was very weird to be outside the house, and that it gave him an appreciation for life. He said that they should save every moment in the house while they are there, and that they should stay and not walk out as they had previously planned. He described the awards arrival, saying there were USC people there cheering for him, the press were taking his picture, and he did a live interview with Melissa Rivers. When asked who designed the tuxedo he was wearing, he replied "it's a big brother special". He also said that he met Rudy, and that it was clear people know who they are. Day 70 - Eddie and George discussed the upcoming banishment, and Eddie suggested that perhaps he will be the one to leave the house on Wednesday. George looked upset with this news, and said he is routing for Eddie. Eddie said that if he does make it past Wednesday, he will shake things up in the house. In the Red Room, he told BB that from now on, he will be playing the game strategically to protect his best interests. BB asked him if it will be emotionally tough on him to nominate the other house guests, and Eddie responded no, and he hopes to be up against George for banishment. He felt that it would be fun for the public, since George is a controversial house guest. That afternoon, a plane flew over the house trailing a sign that red "George is sexist and racist in the Red Room". This initiated a house discussion about the significance of the plane messages and the impact it has on the house guests. Jamie suggested that they not talk about the messages so as not to feed into "storylines". Curtis replied that they have no control of what is going on in the outside world, and that they should acknowledge the messages, and discuss them, not bottle their feelings up inside. Jamie responded that they have to respect each other when it comes to the messages. (No mention or viewing of the BBFC banner was aired tonight). Later, the house guests played a game of croquet, and the guys began to tease Jamie about how she secretly suntanned with her platform shoes on. Eddie then talked about the boys all running around with sticks and balls, and Jamie did not look impressed. Day 71 - Jamie and Curtis talked privately in the washroom about the croquet game the evening before. Jamie accused the guys of being distasteful towards women on national TV. She would never say some of the things they so frequently say about other house guests. She talked about creating storylines again and asked Curtis about the suntanning comments. Curtis seemed quite surprised about how sensitive Jamie was, and tried to defend himself, saying that he doesn't feel that he did anything wrong. Jamie felt misunderstood and a small arguement ensued. After, they both agreed that this portion would likely not make it to TV because Jamie did not have her microphone on. Jamie tried to see the cameramen through the mirror glass in the washroom. Day 72 - The house guests were shown after Cassandra's banishment, congratulating Eddie and Curtis for making it through. Both began to unpack and Eddie yelled that this is fun and exciting! Curtis said he finds the banishment part the hardest part of the experience in the house. Both agreed that they wouldn't unpack because they'll likely be up for banishment again next week. The group made dinner and talked fondly of Cassandra. The show finished with clips of everyone hugging Cassandra goodbye on Wednesday night. |
