First time. Okay, let's go :-)

F1 - Curtis is practising his juggling.

F2 - George, in ubiquitous chef apparel, is humming do-di-do-do and setting the table. Curtis says there is something bitter about the cheese biscuits. A bitterness that keeps building. First one tasted good, then...

Discussion about baking soda. (ed-Gonna check another feed. Can you blame me?)

F3 - George with Josh outside at the pool. G says "It was nice to sleep on a not broken bed."

Jo - Your first night in the ladies' room, George.

They both agree tonight is beautiful night. Josh remarks tomorrow will be big day.

G says he has no idea what is going on here. Josh thinks he's talking about BB. Ge doesn't know why he's being attacked. Says it can really wear down a guy. Jo tells him not to worry about it, it could get worse. Ge says "man, they've whacked me". Jo tells him to be prepared.

"Oh well," sighs George.

Long silence.

Jo mentions a sheet in the corner. He wants to make a sign. George mentions a sign/message he made for Mega? Josh says no, it was for Jordan.

Jet (loud) overhead.

Jo says it's amazing how loud they are outside but so quiet inside.

Josh looks particularly sad.

G - Cassandra, how are you doing tonight?

More silence. No talking at all. Just G leaning on a BB sign and Josh sitting on the pool fence. Both men appear to be very down.

G - Well Joshy, I think I'll go see how dinner's coming along.

Says something about "Not even in the boys' room was it that bad." (something about space, I think)

More silence. G finally goes in to check on dinner.

Josh stays outside.

Eddie is outside with the new challenge. They get to make up their OWN challenge. The winner gets to make an extra nomination - or may nominate the same person twice. Challenge must be agreed upon by a majority. Must decide what it will be by midnight.

Eddie goes back inside. Josh goes back to singing by himself at the pool.

Jamie comes out. Asks why would someone want to win this next challenge.

They will discuss the challenge over dinner. Decide, however, it must be something in which they can all share. Cards perhaps, suggests Jo.

Josh is by himself again.

sorry about saying all were outside...Jamie, Curtis and George still in, making dinner.

Have just found Josh sitting alone on pool fence outside. Don't know where Eddie is.

Josh now singing, don't know the song (Now and Then??)...sounds like Country...planes are really loud overhead.

Searching for other HG's.

Feed 3 just switched to Eddie laying on his bed, with Pugita asleep on his chest, snoring up a storm. Eddie is holding on to her (ed. nice scene)

(ed. Last post for me tonight, please someone cover this challenge....should be interesting....GO CURTIS - the only one I KNOW will vote for George!!)

Feed 3--Josh sitting on pool fence outside, not saying anything. I hear a plane but don't think it's a banner plane. Josh looks up at it then gazes back down to house level. Starts singing.
Feed 4--Side view of Josh sitting on pool fence. Song he's singing is "Every Once In Awhile".
Fed switches to bedroom. Eddie laying on bed with pug on his stomach/chest. Not saying a word. Pug may be asleep, I think I heard her snoring a second ago. Eddie is awake, staring at the ceiling. He has his hands on top of the pug. Pug half sits up. Refreshing to get audio back. Can hear regular breathing, however I think it is the pug. She's making sort of a wheezing/whining sound.
Feed 1--Curtis at stove cooking. I see a regular pot and then he's frying something in a pan. Not saying anything.
Feed 2--Wide shot of kitchen/dining room. Curtis walks out of camera shot, so now there's no one in kitchen.
Feed 3--Outside. Geo on camera. Can't hear much--there's a roaring plane. Curtis went outside. Jamie is also outside, heard her voice. Plane noise dying down now. Hg aren't saying much. Jamie standing in pool area.

plane....noisy....over.....gone.

Josh - singing in the backyard.

planes continue to fly over.

Switch to Eddie, laying on bed with sleeping, snoring Pugita on his chest. White pillow case with black design on this pillow. He's dressed in black top. Pugita still off white. Eddie is awake....blinking...thinking....arms wrapped around Pugita, ..... Pugita wakes, snuffles, lays back down...Eddie is patting him, looks like he (Eddie) is starting to drift off to sleep..

Curtis cooking. Eddie resting. George outside leaning over fence. Talking to Jamie. I'm coming into middle of conversation. Silence.... plane

George continues to shake his head...looks up at plane. Jamie thinks they'll be nominating in the morning. Curtis looking on - goes back into house.

George sighs. George says dejectedly "What every you decide, I don''t care, okay" - said slowly and defeatedly.

Josh still singing. Jamie and Josh talking. philisophical ramblings about bb house, environoment, whole universe, different way to look at things. George back. Jamie, "OH Chicken, we'll get through it."

George - The old man has been whipped, beat, stomped, walked on, laid in dog crap, mannnn, I've been on a ride man. Laugh

All move back into the house.

Josh comes back from the RR. They don't want to do the challenge, decide that it would be unfair for one of them to have an advantage over the others.

They eat. The boys seem to be very hungry. Normal dinner chat. Much chewing.

G - You smoke cigars, Eddie?

They're talking about being on magazine covers (I think). Eddie suggests himself for "Schmucks of America".

George comments favorably on the ground chicken. Ja says there's more in the freezer.

Talk goes back to refusing this latest challenge. BB was probably surprised considering they could make the challenge whatever they liked. But they would have liked a different prize.

G - Like a ring or something.

They laugh. A ring!

Cu - Or a treasure map!

More laughter, banter.

Feed 1
-------
Curtis in kitchen at the stove. Uh-oh, leaves, and cam only shows what's cooking on the stove...

Switch to Feed 2
-----------------
Kitchen, empty. Hmm.

Feed 3
------

Jaime, George & Josh outside, Jaime w/ arms folded in front of her. She mentions dinner will be ready in 2 sec. They go inside.

In kitchen, Curtis at stove, Josh sitting at table looking pensive. Chin in hand.

BB asks Curtis to turn on microphone ...

George asks, what's left to do (for dinner)?

I think they're having ground chicken?

They talk about the Daily Challenge again.

Curtis asks, are there people who don't want to do it? In unison, almost all of them shout "I don't want to do it!" Only Eddie seems to be having different thoughts.

Eddie says "I'll tell you right now, they're going to make us do it ..."

[ It's obvious that all the HGs are terribly nervous about this challenge. They keep changing the subject, look uncomfortable ]

Josh says he doesn't think anyone in the house wants an unfair advantage over anyone else. "Let's just keep it even."

Josh asks if others want to play croquet tonight...

Their mouths are full right now, so I don't understand what they're talking about. Something about cigars. (It's not important)

George: I like the ground chicken, Hollywood.

Curtis: (in Britt voice) Do you just want to play one round to see (who would have won the card game/challenge)?

Eddie: Would have been good for somebody ...

Everybody's congratulating Jamie on the ground chicken again.

[ boring blather ]

They seem to think the nominations show will be Fri night, so that there's enough time for voting. They think that's why they're supposed to have the daily challenge squared away by midnight.

Geez, these ppl know something about cooking -- talking about the difference b/t baking powder & baking soda. Talk about some biscuits having been too bitter having used bsoda instead of bpowder. Curtis ate them b/c he was so hungry, George keeps reminding him how bad they were. Lots of laughing.

Sounds like they're talking about the pug having eaten ... uhm, I'll skip this part of the convo.

Now they start talking about the different types of crap they've seen dogs eat, horse crap, human crap.

Someone says, assume the position Ed, and you hear him scream "•••••!" It's clean-up time.

Finishing up with eating. Eddie sings the praises of his George Foreman grill. Loves how the fat just drips away. Josh/Curtis concur.

More talk of the timing of their next nominations. They still don't know. Figure tomorrow morning.

They laugh about how hungry they were. Even though the biscuits "sucked" they ate them. Laughing about Chiquita and poop (something definitely gross, but they're finding it incredibly funny). They riff on this latest fecal happening for some time. Lots of talk about how animals will eat some of the most disgusting things. This continues throughout the clearing of the table, the filling of the sink...

Feed switches to outside. George hosing down the dishes.

Switching to F2 - Josh and Eddie doing dishes. Eddie singing Toad the Wet Sprocket again.

He yells, "F***ing hate doing dishes! It's f***ing ••••• work!" He then goes right back to singing.

(That's it for me! Thanks for your patience :-) )

Sean

A new challenge. BB gave them a tape recorder with music to the BB theme song, they have to come up with the lyrics.. each one of them have to sing a verse and all of them have to sing the chorus. They'll perform this in the red room on Monday.

Dion

BB allows them to decline the design your own challenge for an extra nomination vote.

Cu just returns from RR/SR with the substituted challenge. By Monday, they have to create the lyrics to the BB theme song and perform in the RR music studio. Each HG to sing a verse, with all singing the chorus. They're given the music in two versions (one is a kaeoke version).

Jo comments that it's good to hear music even though it's not that good. They begin to brainstorm. Ge says We can do this.

G -that's kind of cool! Cu- maybe we get pens! Now they have a Kareoke version. Cu liking first one better. Saying it had a melody line. Cu whistling to it. G coming up with lyrics. G-We can do this.Curt humming melody. All others just watching! Josh went in boys room for something. Not sure what. G listening intently and saying lyrics! He is getting right to work! Well, good night all!

HGs are given a new challenge, to write lyrics for the BB theme song. They each have to sing a vers and then they all sing a chorus.

They are now listening to a tape of the music and, yes, it's the theme song from the show (minus lyrics) that we all know and love.

Cu: Well, we're almost a boy band.

Cu theorizes that this is the song they've been using all along for the show.

Ed: They're really cuttin' back, they fired their music staff.

Song ends.

That's kind of cool.

Now they're playing the Karioke version (?). Same deal but without the melody.

Curtis seems to know a good deal about music. He's humming the melody (properly) over the chords.

Seems like they weren't given pens.

Josh goes to hamper and pulls out what looks like a pen!!

Cu: Good thing double agent Pugita didn't find that.

(I'm hearing way too much of this song, might have to stop here)

They are talking around the kitchen table, all seated. I can hear music! It is the themesong to Big Brother. They are analyzing the music. Curtis is humming as though trying to figure out what song he is hearing.

[garbled]

Someone is whistling to the music. Eddie put a brown shirt on and is sitting listening to the song without much comment. Curtis seems most interested. Mentions the "chorus" of the song. Is now whistling to the music again. Has it pretty much down. Curtis mentions hearing piano.

[garbled]

Curtis says this is the music we'll eventually be singing to. Is singing the melody pretty loudly, doo doo doo doo doodoo dooodooodoo ... etc. Whistling again. Seems to be picking up the melody and harmonies. Eddie looks bored. More dooodooodooos. (Curtis has a nice voice.)

Eddie almost looks mad. Maybe just bored, but not saying anything, and he's not smiling even a little.

(ed - nice to know i won't be the only one who hears this stupid tune in my sleep! sorry .. i digress ...)

Music is over. They are dicussing the key of the song, I think. They started it over. From what I can gather, they have to write and sing a song to the melody of the Big Brother theme song. (a longer version than we hear every night) Curtis still very into this, and Eddie still ... not.

Curtis asks everyone if they have any ideas what they might want to say in the song. [replies short and garbled] Curtis says something about being creative. Eddie puts his head down into his hands.

They're listening to the BB song at the table. Curtis notices it says Sony on the recorder. They didn't black it out. Must be a proud sponsor!

He jokes, they must have given Karen and Britt a free Triniton when they got out.

They must have waited until there were only 5 of us - there's five parts to it. They're analyzing the structure of the music.

P.S. "That's kind of cool" was George, *not* an editorial.

Ed: That's gonna get so played. (I don't think Ed likes the song much, although George keeps saying "Here ya go, Eddie" everytime the guitar solo comes around.)

Cu: It's kind of fun though.

Cu: You guys have any ideas not so much about words but things you might want to sing about.

No answers.

Cu: This is kind of fun though, creative.

Eddie's shooting daggers at Josh and Curt who are happily humming and whistling along to the music.

Ge: It's kind of got a zing to it though, doesn't it.

Jo: Alright guys, I gotta write my own lyrics. Should we work on the chorus?

Ed: Ain't gonna be able to live this one down.

Cu: There are so many things you won't be able to live down after this experience.

Ge: You think they might do something with this.

Cu: It was the #1 song in the Netherlands (the song that the Dutch HGs wrote, I guess).

Ge: (lyrics) We're the cast of Big Brother/Ten of us who cared for one another.

Posting!!

They said this was the #1 song in the Netherlands.

Josh & Jamie say they haven't learned to read music (Curtis suggested writing it down)

...something about a stolen contraband pen. "Well, at least we have a pen.

It's us versus them again. ..."

Mee

They are all listening to the music, figuring out where verses end and chorus begin, etc. Curtis lending his knowledge of music rather well. He says, It would help if we had sheet music.

Josh is juggling at the table. Curtis gets up. Josh stops juggling and leans forward. Still listening to the song.

[lost feed]

Curtis still gone but four are still listening. [all this audio makes for lots of garble - sorry.]

Curtis is back. Talking about RR - We were gonna give you sheet music, but we found Josh with a contraband pen, so we won't. Sounds like bullsh*t to me.

Eddie: That's bullsh*t.

Music still playing..

Ed still pensive (ed. perhaps he wanted to do that challenge where someone gets an extra vote..
what wusses)

Lots of shouting and laughter.

(ed. Curtis sings professionally or semi-professionally in NYC - his profile says classical, particularey opera. that was Curtis
singing on the tapes they heard awhile back, not
Eddie)

Eddie suggests that they juggle, work on music, juggle, etc.. they decide they can even juggle AND listen to music!!

Eddie may be working on his lyrics!! Josh had a hidden contraband pen.

Rwsbetter

Thursday, September 14, 2000 - 09:24 pm Click here to edit this post

BB tells HGs we were going to give you sheet music, but we won't because of Jo's contraband pen.

Lot's of joking. "If they were going to give us sheet music it would have been in the bag with the recorder."

Cu: And they wonder about the us/them attitude. Here we are with itchy stinky buts, cruddy music.

Jo: I've had that pen 2 months and never used it.

Eddie steps up to the plate, gets everyone to agree to listen a couple more times and then think about it while they practice juggling.

Eddie writing, looks like BB didn't confiscate pen, just denied them sheet music. Josh practicing juggling. Joking about Brit lying in RR. All HGs juggling except Ed who's writing.

So they're dividing up parts of the music among themselves - who goes in where.
Curtis & Jamie juggling and analyzing the music. Also talking to Geo. & Eddie & Josh.

Cu: I only here four verse parts. We'll divide it up

Jamie: I kinda like it.

Cu: It's going to be fun.

Geo Edd Cu all discussing technical details of what parts each have - who does start and ending...

Josh and Jamie and Curtis juggling

Curtis declares that he's had a "juggling epiphany!!"

Lots of juggling with the BB theme for background music :)

And now whistling too!!

Cheery bunch...

Sean

The're still listening to the music. They haven't started writing the lyrics. (ed.Correction to my previous post, BB gave them a CD player, not a tape recorder).

Curtis: "Mrs. S said they were going to provide sheet music but she said Josh has a contraband pen."

Josh said he never took it that it was right there all along.

Eddie said to concentrate on juggling first..that they have until Monday to work on the song. Curtis suggests working on the song while practice juggling at the same time.

Eddie is sitting by the DR table, as Josh,Curtis,Jamie,and George are juggling.

They're dividing the verses, who sings first, second, etc.

Ed: "This fu*kin song is gonna make my ears bleed."

George: "It's good to hear music,that's all I can say."
