September 19 - Day 78

The show began with Day 76 and the new weekly challenge called "In the news". The house guests were given 25 headlines, and have to decide whether they are true or false. They will be given 25 more headlines every day until Thursday noon, when they will have to say whether the headlines are true or false. All agreed to wager 50% of their grocery money. To review the headlines, check the Daily Feeds section. Eddie was shown playing with Chiquita, scaring her and making her run away.

Day 77 - George dressed up in his costume for the BB recording session. He was dressed in army fatigues with a banner on his head. He painted a heart with Teresa above it on one arm, pretending it was a tattoo, and thought he wrote "MA" on the other arm but actually wrote it backwards spelling "AM". When he showed the house guests, they all had a good laugh. All the house guests went into the Red Room to record the lyrics they had written for the BB theme song. After some practice, and a lot of laughter, the final take, called "Into our lives" was recorded. It was very well done (I must say)! After, the house guests continued with Monday's 25 headlines, which included one that read "BB fans thwarted in attempt to catapult toilet paper over wall". Of course, this was the BBFC Angels first mission, however, the house guests laughed and said it was false because they assumed the Angels would have been able to accomplish the task. Other headlines were "Jordan has her own show" which apparently is true, and "Brit signed by major Hollywood talent agent" which also is true.

After winning the Running of the Pugs contest, Josh got ready for his prize, to broadcast the weather live on CBS. He wore his swimsuit only, stood out by the pool after sunset, and talked back and forth with the KCBS anchors live. He then announced the current temperature at 69 degrees, and was given a live quiz, to identify what out of three words had to do with the weather. Josh guessed Gynophobia, which turned out to be a fear of women, when the actual right answer was Brontophobia, fear of lightning. The other choice was Ablutophobia which is the fear of showering or bathing. Josh then went on to announce the weather in each of the house guests' home town. When finished he dived into the pool. BB told him "well done Josh".

The house guests marked for banishment were each given the opportunity to plead their case to stay in the house, in the Red Room. They had 30 seconds only, and Curtis went first thanking everyone for keeping him in the house so far, after being nominated four times already. He said he would love to stay. Jamie went next saying she prays every day to stay until the end and would like to pay for her half sister's college education, pay off her student loans, allow her parents to retire and not be a poor Hollywood actress. Eddie went third saying he is too proud to beg and has enjoyed his time in the house. He said that he has good friends, and good books on the outside but would love to stay, and has learned a lot about himself. George went last, telling everyone they should volunteer to take a kid to school, and that he would love to stay in the house but volunteering is more important.

Next, again in the Red Room, the marked guests were then asked to plead for someone else to stay in the house. George went first, saying everyone has followed his path with his relationship with Eddie, and they must do what they have to do, Curtis said he likes everyone in the house, but would plea for Jamie to stay. Jamie said that Curtis is an integral part of the house and makes them laugh every day. Eddie's plea was for George to stay, saying he is a good man and ultimately wants to provide for his family. The show ended with the house guests recording "Into our Lives".
