Lisa | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 05:57 pm  September 4 - Day 62 The show opened on Day 61 with George cutting out letters from what looked like sheet metal, and nailing the letters onto the backyard fence. When he was finished, he had spelt "happy anniverarsy Teresa 22". Curtis pointed out to him that he had spelt anniversary wrong. George fixed it and thanked Curtis for pointing it out. George then stared for a long time at the message and blew a kiss at it. The house guests were given their weekly challenge by BB. This week, they must train Chiquita to follow an obstacle course, without touching her. The guests went into the yard to look at the course, which included pylons for the dog to go in between, a tiny slide which she has to climb up, and go down, plus other things. The group agreed to wager 20%. Eddie told Chiquita she was a "fat *ss - you're fat and you know it". Josh and Curtis were throwing a football back and forth when Curtis realized that someone was throwing something over the compound wall into the backyard. George thought it was paint balls, but Curtis said it was jawbreakers and encouraged both Josh and George inside the house. George instead grabbed one and ate it. Curtis, taking it very seriously, told George he shouldn't eat them and that they could be poisoned. George kept saying how tastey they were. Eddie yelled loudly "fire some beer over the wall", then also told George off for eating one. Jamie agreed that they were definitely candy. Curtis told George to pay attention to how he was feeling, in case it was poisoned. Later, Eddie was doing the dishes and yelling that he was doing "b*tch work" over and over again. He then started dancing while banging the pots and pans and told Cassandra that this one was for her. Both Jamie and Cass did not look impressed. Day 62 - BB asked the house guests, if given the chance, would they agree to split the first, second and third prize money six ways. The total would be $650,000.00 divided by six leaves $108,000.00 each. All agreed that they would certainly split the money, except Eddie. He said that they all knew what they were getting themselves into coming into the house, that there is no glory in splitting the money, and it gives him a reason to get up every day and participate in the day to day activities. He also said that it would not be fair to the banished house guests, especially Brit who only just left last week. Cass said it would be nice to split the money and enjoy the last 30 days as a group. Josh said $108,000.00 is a lot of money. George said he would like to split the money and is sick of the whole money issue. Eddie said if they decided to split the money, he would walk out tonight without his $108,000.00. Jamie then challenged him, saying that what he wants is the $500,000 rather than them all getting a piece of the pie. He said he would like everyone to have some money, but wants to finish the game in the way that it was meant to be played. Later, when Eddie was not around, the group talked about their earlier conversation. Jamie said she is really competitive, however, would want to share the money. George agreed, saying they are like a family now. Cass said that Eddie protects himself by saying things like he had said earlier, and that he wants to be the winner. George told BB in the Red Room that he is worried about Eddie. He fears that the house guests are getting mad at Eddie and that he says things to the cameras that he shouldn't be saying. He hopes Ed doesn't hurt his chances with the public. Eddie appeared in the Red Room later, and told BB that the house guests did not like his response to splitting the prize money. He said he could have lied and said what they all wanted to hear, and suspects some of them did lie, however, wanted to be honest. He would like for all of them to have a share of the money, but in the contest of the game, they should go to the end. He repeated that it would not be fair to the banished house guests. The public was reminded once again that on Wednesday's live show, one of the guests would have the opportunity to leave the house with $20,000.00, suddenly doubled from the original $10,000.00 previously announced. The show ended with Josh trying to teach Chiquita how to go up and down the slide. |
