Lisa | Wednesday, September 20, 2000 - 06:37 pm  September 20 - Day 79 Julie Chen opened the live show announcing that a former house guest will be re-entering the BB house at some point during this week. She then went live to the house guests, and asked Jamie how she felt being up for banishment for the first time. Jamie responded that it's not one of her favorite things, and she hasn't eaten much today. George, dressed in a toga, with a wreath around his newly dyed blonde hair, said he was going for the refreshing look. The camera showed signs hanging on the wall that George had made which read "Chicken George needs a job" and "92 Ford Pick-up for sale". He told Julie he has the feeling the Chickenman will fly the coop tonight. When asked how he felt that all the house guests had nominated him for banishment, he said that it was the first laugh he had all week. Julie explained to the house guests the new challenge of one of the former house guests returning to the house this week. She told them they will have to choose who returns to the house, and they can ask any questions they would like to that person. They then watched videos of each of the former house guests who explained to them why they should be chosen to return to the house. After some discussion, the group agreed on Cassandra to re-enter the house, since she is the most articulate and will tell them everything. Julie then showed some video footage of Jerry Hider with Airbanners.com who explained how much business he has received since BB began. Jamie's Mom said that she sent a banner for Jamie because she wanted to cheer her up. Eddie's Mom said she sent the banner for Eddie because he was ready to leave the house. Julie then interviewed Dr. Drew Pinsky, first raising the issue of the four nominations against George. Dr. Drew said that all the house guests expressed regret during the nominations, and George took the news very well. It could have been very tense, and all the house guests looked guilty when George realized all four had nominated him. Dr. Drew said he was not surprised the house guests chose Cassandra to return to the house because they always felt that they could rely on her. Julie mentioned that Cassandra does not watch the show, nor has she watched any of the taped footage of her time in the house. Dr. Drew believes that she will still have plenty of information to share with the guests when she arrives back in the house. Video was then shown of Cassandra's friends and family throwing a welcome home party for her in a restaurant, and Cassandra giving autographs to some fans. Julie interviewed Regina Lewis, AOL spokesperson, who said the Internet is heating up and getting bigger by the minute. A poll was run regarding which of the house guests would have a career opportunity after leaving the house, and the results were: Brit 40%, Jamie 20%, Josh 17%, and the rest were all single digits. It was then time to announce to the house guests which of the four is banished from the house. The results were: Curtis 3%, Eddie 14%, Jamie 32% and George 51%. George then said his goodbyes to the house guests, gathered his things and left the house still dressed in the toga. His three daughters were waiting for him at the gate, and the crowd cheered loudly for him. He kept asking his girls if everything has been cool, over and over. During this reunion, the house guests went out in the back yard to listen to the cheers, and could hear a woman yelling George's name continually. All looked sad, until a woman's voice clearly yelled "Eddie, we love you". When George entered the studio, the crowd went crazy, and Teresa and her sister were waiting to greet him. Lots of tears and laughter flowed. Julie asked George how he feels, and he responded that it is wonderful to be out of the house. He said the house guests were fantastic to him and he's glad he made it this far. He said that it took about 2-3 weeks in the beginning for him and the others to adapt to each other, but then he felt that he became young again, and acted like he was 20. When shown clips of his various adventures in the house, including his many costumes, the letter from his family, hair color and the planned walkout, he laughed and cried. He said he enjoyed himself in the house, and when asked what his favorite moment was, he said there were too many to choose one. Julie asked him about the walkout plan, and he explained that the messages from the sky led him to believe that they would all win money if they all left together. He said they thought CBS was behind the plane banners, and since there is barely any information inside the house, they had to take what they had and work with it. Julie asked him about the apparent "plan" he and Teresa spoke about during their first phone conversation, and George explained that the "plan" was to mow the lawn and take care of the house, not some big scheme they had cooked up to win the money. George said that every day in the Red Room he was asked about the "plan", but that was all it was. Julie then reminded George of the anti-George banners and his statement the other day about possibly being the most hated man in America. She assured him he is not the most hated man, and then showed him video footage of the party George's friends and family threw for Teresa and the girls, the rally in Texas and the key to a small town given to George, and George-day with cheerleaders and tons of fans. George looked like he was going to bust out of his seat. Julie then asked George who he would like to see win, and he said Eddie, and will vote for him. He said that he did not take the nominations personally and knew that Eddie was going to play the game strategically. George then said a final live goodbye to the house guests, telling them that they won't believe what has happened out there and that they each have a special place in his heart. When asked what's next for George, he responded something decent to eat, and he doesn't believe he has a career in acting waiting for him. Julie then told George and his family that the Southern Vermont College heard his concerns about his daughters college education, and have offered a 4 year scholarship for any one of George's daughters. While George cried at this wonderful news, Julie cracked a joke by telling him he now has 10 seconds to choose which daughter. The show ended with Julie announcing that the live show on Saturday will include the final nominations. |
