Lisa | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 08:45 am  September 22 - Day 81 The show began with the weekly "Headline News" challenge. The house guests were each given a number of questions randomly chosen from the 100 plus headlines they had been reading all week. They could only get six headlines wrong between the four of them. In the beginning, they were getting a lot wrong, and they seemed distracted by the real answers to the headlines. For example, when they answered false to the Headline News "Naked pictures of BB house guests are on the Internet" and were told that was actually true, they couldn't believe it. They were very happy to hear that Rosie O'Donnell is a big fan of Eddie, and that Brit has been signed by a major Hollywood talent agency. They ended up being successful on the challenge and won 50% of their grocery money (drinking resumes this week I guess). As a bonus, each house guest was given the opportunity to find out the answer to one of the Headline News questions not asked in the challenge. Eddie asked if it was true or false if the Wheelchair Basketball Association had started a fund in his name. BB advised him it was true. Josh asked if it was true/false if the naked shower cam was broadcasted into the Emmy's. BB answered this was false. Curtis asked if Karen had a cooking show. BB answered this was false. Jamie asked if it was true/false if there is a Wizard of Oz film on the Internet with them in it. BB answered it is true. Josh told the house guests he is concerned with Cassandra coming back to the house, and he doesn't want to know anything. He then went into the Red Room and told BB that he feels any outside news will distract him and he wants to enjoy the last week in the house. He told the house guests that he would be interested in news about them but not himself. Curtis then went to the Red Room to tell BB he at first thought Josh was crazy not to want to know what Cassandra has to tell them, but now realizes he wants to keep an element of surprise when he leaves. Curtis said he believes there is nothing out there negative about Josh. Jamie then went to the Red Room to find a BB board game. At first she didn't believe it was real, and ran excitedly out to the others to show them the game. They all played it and had a good laugh. Eddie in the Red Room told BB that he thinks Cass coming back to the house is wonderful and will prepare them for their departure. He thinks Cass will have watched all the past tapes and will be able to tell them everything they need to know. The house guests were given their next challenge. A "Mole"-like challenge that makes one of them the Saboteur and the others Secret Agents. The Saboteur will be given tasks to sabotage something in the house, and the Agents will have to figure out who the Saboteur is. They can not talk to each other about what their respective roles are and the winner of the challenge will get to keep the BB TV after they leave the house. Each took turns going into the Red Room and choosing a card. Eddie, Curtis and Jamie were all tasked as Secret Agents, Josh was chosen as the Saboteur. His task was to set the potatoe clock back 1/2 hour each day. Later, Josh and Curtis discussed the public's opinion of them, and Curtis said he believes the public knows them better than they know each other. He said he can't imagine that one of them is different than they appear and that they have really gotten to know each other these past three months. He said he believes if someone is fake, the public would have voted them out of the house by now. Josh went to the Red Room and told BB that this has become more than a game now. The money can easily change someone's life, and they will get a full spiel from him at nominations time but not yet. That evening, Josh was shown sneaking around trying to get to the potatoe clock and set it back 1/2 hour without getting caught by the Secret Agents. He did it successfully. |
