Kjun4 | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:00 pm  caught a sec of George in redroom, Saying he had fun with that. |
Icarus | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:03 pm  The plane noise fades in the background as the HGs continue to ponder where the controls might be. Eddie guesses it might be at the bottom of the compost pile and gets a laugh from the others. Brief flash of George in RR on feed 3 then back to the outside views. Josh mentions *she* clearly said *Find the controls* so it must be possible for them to do. Eddie thinks not and wonders why *they* would wait until so late in the game to mention this. Josh feels strongly that *she* wants to help the group. |
Flamingokid | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:03 pm  Eddie and Josh are talking about how finding the controls may be really finding something else for them. Josh: Maybe it's the last week's supplies.... Give me a clear message next time... I still don't understand why she's vague. Cass: She's playing a game. Curtis: Do you think she's trying to help us. Josh: Definitely. She wants to help the group, no question. Eddie: Megaphone lady, you're F****** crazy. Jamie: Do you think it's the same lady who flew the other signs? Josh: Definitely. You guys could figure it out on your own, you're smart enough.... I don't understand why she wants me to say anything. {Ed: Josh is acting a bit superior.} |
Flamingokid | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:09 pm  Eddie: All right... houseguests, make chiquita run frantic... {Yells in his BB way} Josh: no one ever said anyone's to blame, that's what I'm telling you. Jamie: what do you mean? Josh: nothing ever good can come of her... I don't know how to explain. Curtis: Don't you think it's equally bad for us to be wondering? Josh: no. Curtis: is it good news? Josh: It's not good news, it's just not bad... I don't know how to explain it. {ed: what a tease!} |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:10 pm  f7 finds all hg in back yard, waiting...with spotty conversation someone: is george still in the RR? jam: must be... josh: no one ever said anyone was to blame jam, probing: whaddya mean? josh, fumbling: nothing good can come of it, it's hard to explain curt: so was it true when you said it was good news? josh: not good news, not bad...i don't know how to explain it |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:15 pm  ed, looking heavenward: look there's a sign, she's flying a plane without a sign, and that's a sign! i'm sure of it! (in voice) remember, there IS dignity in walking out! (sorry for the double-coverage flamingo...looks like it's quite under control here!) |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:18 pm  f3-george comes out of the RR, stalks by the LR with paper in hand, as jamie asks if he's okay. george: ya know it wasn't nothing bad or nothing, i showed ya, in this little book dealy here. jam: anything about the airplane? george: i dunno what to think about de airplane jamie laughs. george resumes his never-ending project of replacing the pages in the BB handbook. |
Nance | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:21 pm  important update ... Curtis said well she must be behind the banishgeorge.com banners as well. Josh said YES. Curtis said I really don't get it,then why would the megaphone lady yell over the wall we love George. Josh said I understand... it makes sense to me Josh continues to say. {ed-}finally getting the idea... George then called to RR |
Flamingokid | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:21 pm  {inside} Jamie: You all right chickenman? RR called Geo in because he was pointing to words. {At least, that's what George said.} Jamie: They're so paranoid about that... did they say anything about the plane? Geo: no. I don't know what to think about the airplane. {outside} Josh--: He was asked in the RR if there was someone he'd want to talk to get it off his chest... "I was like, I'm talking to you about it." Cu: Maybe they meant Dr. Del Rio, or a family member. Josh: don't rely on things from the outside world. take whatever you've experienced in here. Eddie (To pug?): what we don't need is for you to break an arm before tonight's challenge. Cass: exactly. |
Flamingokid | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:24 pm  Josh talks {AGAIN} about feeling like he's in a position of power. {ED: and he LIKES IT.} HG's talking about pug needing to stay in a position of power. BB asks HGS to remove obstacles from fences and to set up course for chiquita. {Challenge beginning!} Jo: all right, baby. showtime. {to dog} Geo: superdog ready? Jo: you all right, George? Geo: yeah, I had to talk to them. Ed still singing "It's probably me." {ED: glad I like that song.} |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:25 pm  bb finally breaks the monotony by asking the HG to remove all clothing, etc. from the obstacles and fences so that camera angles are preserved. and we're off! f3 smartly remains on the empty red chair just vacated by george. geo: who's up first? curtis? cass: you are, then me, then curtis goerge, to josh: tips? josh gives tips, "put her in there and walk away" george listens intently and then excuses himself to relieve his pre-challenge bloated bladder. pug also relieves bladder, in a stunning gesture of solidarity. |
Flamingokid | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:28 pm  Cass (to dog): please don't blow this for us. We need it. Cu: I think denial of love is the key [for the dog to perform]. Ed (with noisemaker): I feel like the pied piper. Hello, Pugita, hello. (making noises) BB: eddie and Josh, may I please ask you to lay the weight bench down? BB: houseguests, I want to remind you, that while there's no time limit on this challenge, dog must go from one obstacle to the next. {something about health and sanity of the dog, too} HGs laugh about THEIR sanity. Geo: Come on, get all excited. {to dog} |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:29 pm  bb asks josh to lay the weight bench down. eddie/josh take care of this, although eddie-the broadcasting major-doesn't feel that any camera angles are affected. eddie calls the pug a fat b*tch. bb reminds hg's that the little doggy must go from one obstacle to another and cannot take much of a break between. george, having returned from the bathroom lighter on his feet, pumps the pug up for her big performance. |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:31 pm  hg nervously awaiting the green flag from bb. chickens are also most excited about the big event, as they cluck ever loudly. hg swing arms back and forth with anticipation. |
Flamingokid | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:31 pm  {Cackyh, I'll let you take this challenge... if that's o.k. I have to go back to work!} |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:34 pm  bb: hg, one question. originally you asked we shut down the pole-cam...it's your call whether we shut down, which ones...etc. hg respond the box, the jump, and the slide. all discussing whether box needs camera cut or not. much technical discussion about the finer points of not bothering chiquita, and bb responds that they'll use their best judgment. the thrill! it's time! all hg man their stations. |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:36 pm  chiquita successfully completes the box! all hg cheer! cass takes over, leading the pug to the "bridge" cass: over chiquita, over! pug smartly runs around instead of over. success over the bridge! two down, four to go. all hg cheer happily. |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:40 pm  curt up, feeding pug and then leading her quickly through the tunnel. cheering, but not as excitedly this time. ed takes over, trying doggedly (ha) to get pug to jump the pole. while f1 focuses on the crowd instead of the dog (thanks) i can only hear eddie as he begs, pleads, cajoles pug to "over, over, come on, over, over, over" spectators try to urge him on, and grow nervous as eddie sqeaks the toy to try to get pug's attention. very loud jet flies overhead, and pilot says those on your left can watch the first ever BB pug obstacle challenge (i'm guessing here) pug escapes, thinking she's had quite enough of this dumb game. all hg go out to help eddie "box it in"...putting things around the pole so pug can't escape. |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:43 pm  eddie resumes this as-yet fruitless endeavor. very loud cheering as chiquita finally made it over. even though they have successfully met their challenge (minimum of 4 obstacles), their fierce competitiveness spurs them to continue onward. jamie steps up, camera moves, and pug is not happy. jamie remarks about her anger. chiquita barks passionately. jamie asks for more time. jamie gets her to sit for a fleeting moment. although i couldn't see it on f1, hg cheer as pug apparently completes the cones. |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:45 pm  josh prepares for the near-impossible "slide" challenge, as other hg assist him in building a baracade. george takes pug to a neutral corner to give him advice and encouragement. and more food. the question looms large...will they be 6 for 6??? |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:47 pm  josh places chiquita inside the contraption, and remarkably she climbs and slides down. all hg are incredulous and gleeful. bb congratulates the hg on their success. pug seems happy to have contributed to full tummies for the next week. now singing, to the tune of copa cabana (now i know they've lost it) her name was chiquita she was a show dog... |
Icarus | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:49 pm  Back after a RP crash and it looks like they are lined up for the Pug Challenge. George starts with *on the table* and SHE DOES IT. Cass now with the bridge and the dog goes around the first time and OVER the second. Curt next with the tunnel. She is THROUGH the first time. Now Eddie with the jump and he is positioning her..she goes over the first rung and inside the jump. He is luring her with toy and food and repeating over, over, over. She runs away. C'meere you little sh*t is his response. He puts her back inside the jump and she escapes again. Now they are moving stuff around the jump to box her in. One more try and she scoots out again. She's really distracted now and runs around.....YEAH, she's over on the last try. Chiquita takes a beverage break and now Jamie is up with the cones. Jamie lures her through the cones after one false start. Josh is up next with the slide and they move some stuff over to block the ways out. Ready now and he places her before the slide. She's UP and DOWN it! BB announces that they have proved you can teach an old dog new tricks and they have won the challenge. |
Gonnagetfired | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:50 pm  Wonderful reporting Cacky!!!!! I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for your posts. I felt like I was there!! Love your wit and humor. (I know this doesn't belong here - Sorry - Couldn't help myself - please delete) |
Noslonna | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:51 pm  12:50 PM Big Brother announces, "Congratulations houseguests, you have won your weekly challenge. You have proved you really can teach an old dog new tricks." Josh quips that to them she is a new dog and they "taught a new dog some old tricks." They are all so happy with Chiquita who receives lots of praise and thanks for letting them have more food. George says he never thought she would do it. Curtis says in funny little voice, "The little dog that saved it all up for showtime." |
Cackyh | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:54 pm  boys start to deconstruct obstacles and place them to the side of the yard, as jamie and cass retire to the kitchen to prepare the grocery list. bb asks eddie to come to RR. george says there's no way he thought that the dog could do that. he chants, no way, no way...and then relives the glory with josh. all 4 cams focus on the hero of the day, pugita, as she cavorts in the yard...eating as she goes. (hope someone else can jump in now and cover what i'm sure will be a can't-miss luncheon...gotta go now) |
