George's talent is cooking. He's ranting and raving about cooking for everyone. Now he's gonna introduce his new recipe. "Today we will eat well ok. This new recipe that i have created for you guys ok..comes in a carrying case...etc etc"

Says he was up early creating the new ButtBread.He then drops it..everyone laughs. Eddie just looks ahead and looks somewhat sad..sort of like that ..geez i feel bad for u look. Cass had similar look on her face.

Apparently George used Josh's jockstrap to make the buttbread??!!

Brittany's doing her interpretation of Phenomenal Woman now.

Note..the camera isn't showing them performing..only showing the hg's reaction..don't know if other feed is showing..i'm sticking to this one.

JOsh sings Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole. Looks like he is singing to Brit, Jamie, and Cass and then George says, "Don't even think about coming this way Slosh."

Jamie acting impressed.

Curtis and Jamie doing their dance. Jamie does a cartwheel and then Curtis does his lord of the dance imitation. Everyone laughs. Eddie says..oh my god..i've seen it all!!

Eddie is juggling eggs for his talent. They are now ready for swimsuit round.

BB voice says that there is another great reward. Candlelit dinner for two on the patio..no sharing..only dinner for two!!!!!!!

Note..When Jamie did cartwheel..her mic came off and hit her in the head. She asked Cass if she looked stupid when she did it.

Cass's poem was what she was writing that night that we were all wondering about.

Jamie has on her bikin in the bathroom and she keeps looking in the mirror asking if she looks fat. Brit says no...Jamie keeps asking if she is sure.

I'm only getting F3 and just wanted to add a few details for color (yeah Janine!):

George stumbled somehow and dropped the Butt Bread as he was showing it to the other HGs infomercial style (i.e. selling it) - everyone laughed and the cam zoomed in on Cass taking out a handkerchief (I think) and wiping her eyes (I think she cries when she laughs -ed.)

Brit spoke her poem entirely in "Britspeak", apparently doing exaggerated motions to go with the poem (e.g. stretching her arms as she says "it's the reach of my arms")

Josh sang to Brit and Cass at first, then came over specifically in front of Cass who looked embarrassed but also laughed.

Jamie hammed up her love for Curtis as they danced: "Curtis Curtis, I can't live without you! You have to move though! <laughter> Oh Curtis you know I can't live w/o you! I would climb mountains for you, I would swim oceans for you, i would--" and apparently does the cartwheel here.

Eddie (in hyper-manly voice): Not only will I juggle three eggs but I'll do it standing on one leg. (scattered laughter)

Jamie announced the "sponsor" of the contest as being something like the "Cucumber Corn Company of America" (forget exactly)...

Swimsuit commentary :)

Notes on what they were wearing - Cassandra with (according to Jamie) "coral [thing] today, w/headwrap, matching makeup, red sash (from what I saw it's a pink-red onepiece, with a little dress part but still showing a little bit of cleavage - sorry but I had to say it -ed.)

Brit came up in a black two-piece, top was low-cut

Josh wearing gray t-shirt, red-and-white swim trunks, and bow tie (and cowboy hat) - did a striptease while humming "Bad to the Bone" and ended up looking like a Chippendales guy

Curtis wearing just red swim trunks - he "was unsure of how to top that" - Brit suggested he "do the shuffle"

George came up bawking, wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt and sunglasses - gave a speech saying there should be a warning before this, b/c he didn't want to be responsible for women rushing the TV screen. George also took off his shirt humming "Bad to the Bone" (but BADLY) - F3 zoomed in on Eddie who did NOT LOOK PLEASED - then on Brit who looked kind of disgusted/embarrassed w/nose all scrunched up

Eddie came up wearing black swim trunks and went off, not much to say...

"Chicken George" came up bawking, offered to guest emcee and introduce Jamie, who wore a big white collar shirt (I think) and THE BIKINI underneath - cheering from Josh and Curtis, maybe Brit, definitely not from Eddie. George debuted an accent (!! - sort of his version of "the French" or sexy accent? -ed.)

Jamie - we'll be right back with a word from our sponsor, IKEA
George - I've wrecked everything they have!

Topic Round...

Uh oh!! Cass and Brit told George that he had taken Brit's sash. Now he can't find his.

Curtis' topic....a request to lift the ban on the curfew and bring back beer. BB asks Curtis how he would improve the judicial system. BB asks if he needs to repeat the question. They are all laughing. BB asks for calm on the competition floor. Curtis says..as a member of the bar, i think that the judicial system is ok as it stands b/c lawyers don't sue people...people sue people..then he laughs....

Eddie's turn. Eddie is talking about history of wheelchair basketball. Created in VA hospitals after WW2. BB asks Eddie how he would make the world better for disabled people..or something like that... Eddie says that people need to be educated...it's not a matter of changing things to help handicapped. It's more of the perception that able bodied people haveof the disabled. Says that would make world more accessible to handicapped people.

Cassandra spoke about how much they hate the chickens. BB - how would u solve the problem of world hunger?
Cass - requires action on a number of fronts. Food that is available needs to get distributed. Issues around financial resources...defense spending..debt repayment...etc etc.

Now Brit and josh..what really goes on b/w brit and josh is their topic. Josh doin some crazy Spanish/Mexican Cheech and Chong kinda accent.
I can't even explain with all of Brit's giggling. They are making all kinds of sexual innuendos basically...talkin about playing hide the cucumber...etc.

BB - Josh..how would u deal with the illegal immigration problem?
Josh -hmmm... There should be a work program. They are coming in b/c there is not enuf work in Mexico. We should allow them to come in during certain periods of the year for a limited amt of time. i.e. harvest season in California.

BB - Brittany..how would u solve the problem of the high cost of prescription drugs.

Brit - says alot of the cost is for research and development. She doesn't agree that more generics are the answer b/c generics aren't always as good as the brand name drug. The general public should not go to prescription drugs all the time. People want antibiotics when they don't need them. Basically..she is arguing that we can solve the problem by not wanting the drugs. (Umm..what if they have a disease!!) Supply and demand she says.

George and Jamie do an infomercial for hose water. Jamie just keeps saying mmhmm mmhmmm. George is doing all the talking.

Jamie just keeps repeating what George says. (Ed note: umm...this is really painful)
Lol..Jamie says something about one word and then she says Georg'es hose water and i think josh asked if that was one word..more like 3 words.

BB - how would u solve unemployment
George - improve education..children not learning correctly. We can't send them children out in the world. We cannot give up on these children. They are not disposable people They are people. They want to learn. We need to train people. NOt all peoples (i'm quoting) are ...oops..i forgot what he said. I speak for the avg working people of America. They need us. NOt everyone is cut out to be in the upper echelon jobs. etc etc etc

BB - Jamie, how would you achieve world peace? Lots of laughter from everyone.

Jamie - What are u trying to say here? Everytime they mock pageants they use that line says Jamie. Let me think. I've never been asked that before.
BB - Jamie..do u need me to repeat the question
Jamie - yes
BB
Jamie - you need to take the wealth and distribute it. The top 2 percent controls the wealth in the world. So many different religions and views ..we will never have same views. We should stick to that one golden rule...treat others how u want to be treated. If everyone does this in the world...it will be a better place.

Ok - some extra bits (paraphrasing b/c my typing deteriorates greatly to keep up w/these guys speaking):

#5 Curtis went first - he spoke *entirely* in "Britspeak" - when he summed up his plea to get rid of the curfew, Josh and Brit cheered, no one else.

When Curtis said, "Lawyers don't sue people, PEOPLE SUE PEOPLE!!!!" Josh retorted, "Curtis' famous copout".

#7 Eddie was very solemn and serious throughout his topic speech and answering his question

#6 Cass had nine reasons "Why I hate the Big Brother chickens":
#1 they poop too much in their coop, and i have to clean it up when george doesn't
#2 they poop too much on our beautiful lawn
#3 they make too much noise
#4 they're producing too many eggs for us
#5 they stink
#6 they're loved by too many other housemates
#7 george takes care of them, their buffets look better than what we eat
#8 BB always watching so i can't be mean to them
#9 they have always come into the garden and left their poops in the garden

Duo with Brit and Josh, the basic idea was that Brit would say all this "romantic" stuff about when they're dancing together at night, washing dishes together, or asking him to pass the cucumber and carrots - Josh then comes in with outrageous French accent and sexual innuendoes. *Nobody* laughed during this little skit...

Brit asks BB if she can add something about her topic. She then goes on to talk about HMOS and formulary sheets...and bundling drugs...etc etc. Jamie looks at her all puzzled and disgusted..then smiles..then goes back to puzzled look.

Brit continuing to talk very quickly and fast about the evils of the insurance companies and the HMOs and how the elderly have to pay for their drugs b/c of the companies....

BB - Big brother thanks you as well as the pharmaceutical industry thanks you.

Curtis - can i say something serious on my topic since everyone else did

Curtis - responsibility on the lawyers. Too many lawsuits. Attorneys shouldn't file frivoulous suits. Level of professionalism should be higher among lawyers. Should not be a dogfight for purpose of winning..purpose should be to resolve disputes.

Note on the talent contest, apparently Curtis picked Jamie up and did something w/her (whirled her maybe?) - Jamie is still amazed that he could do that, talking to others how amazed she is.

More color commentary -

Answering her question (how to solve high cost of prescription drugs), Brit also said that ppl can avoid having to take a lot of drugs by not smoking, diet, exercise, etc. Then she blamed the physicians for taking a lot of money for flying around and giving speeches for $2k an hour, when drug reps who get a bad rap spend far less than that (wonder if that's biased -ed.)

Jamie and George - nothing interesting to add :(

Brit got an idea and wanted to say more about the subject - she blamed the HMOs and their formulary committees (basically a list of drugs that HMO doctors can prescribe) - so drug companies have to basically bribe HMOs to get their drugs on formularies, so drugs then cost more. She's really getting angry (and sounding very Valley Girl-ish) as she talks about old ppl being forced to be hospitalized for long periods costing $10,000s b/c they can't afford out-of-pocket paying for drugs. (Sorry if this is boring to you but I'm in health care industry - interesting to hear drug rep's viewpoint -ed :))

Nothing interesting to add on Curtis' addition - Janine you're awesome :)

The contestants are also the judges - they're going to the RR one by one.

(What's going on with the live feeds? F7 is about 10 seconds ahead of F1, and neither is showing any video. F4 currently on the backyard, F3 showed the whole pageant but was off-kilter - are they now blocking Internet cams?)

Heard Curtis and Josh tell Brit a few minutes ago they were surprised to see she was so into the subject of prescription drugs (honestly I could see her as a great drug rep -ed.)

Jamie came out, Brit is now going in. RR wants them in specific order. Eddie was first.

I did just hear Jamie using the "Britspeak" accent to say "Chicken George! It was phenomenal, the whole world knows about hose water!" She's talking to George, encouraging him about future infomercial jobs, George says "the old man needs it!" Jamie calling at someone not to feed Pugita chocolate chip.

Brit comes out, says Curtis needs fresh battery. Cass says she left, didn't like the movie. George only liked two songs in the soundtrack. 60s songs.

Jamie speculates the pageant was b/c of her, Cass guesses the mock trial was b/c of Curtis. Jamie figures they (BB producers) monitor chat rooms to see response. After the casting guy, she bets once they saw the live show they went to AOL and probably it was pretty bad. But now pageant movie, pageant topics, now pageant. (She's caught on that she probably looks bad for choosing a CASTING AGENT over her OWN MOM -ed.)

Cass talking about how George was making the "Butt Bread" at 8:15 this morning.

F2 also black, only audio.

Curtis asks if they're taking pug back soon. Now talking about cleaning up doggie doodoo. Jamie tells Curtis the beer's the key. Curtis says they didn't know he had such talent. Brit says they see him for who he is.

Jamie thinks pageant went over well. Can hear George, he says Eddie needs to eat something.

Got disconnected, now back on F4
Curtis, Brit, Jamie, Cass
Brit wants to see Jamie's Miss USA tape. Curtis wants to see Miss Washington tape. Jamie says BB has the tape, probably used it for bio footage.

Brit says she'd never screw up her face, she'd get liposuction long before she did anything. Jamie says they could hit a nerve or something. Brit says I have a flawless face, how could I mess w/it. But no one ever notices (Ed goes by, "Nice face Brit") Curtis says something, Brit says "Whoa whoa, below the belt!"

Jamie talking abut her pageant history, now the audio feeds get all muffled! Josh has sat down next to Curtis (closer to Jamie), Brit sitting opposite from Jame w/Curtis on her right, Cass (across from Curtis) now sitting to right of George (across from Josh).

Convo turns to dancing...Brit says she's already repaired, talking in more Britspeak about caressing and loving her feet (think she wants a foot massage -ed.)

To fill in..Jamie was saying that the first time she was in Miss WA she came in first place. Second time she won the title. Saying after the first competition..she worked her butt off to get the job b/c she really really wanted it. There is one girl who has competed in the pageant for 8 years and never won. Josh and Curtis say they like MIss WA 1998..they think she's hot I guess.

F3 still on LR.
George asks Jamie about pageant questions, Jamie says that's the kind you actually get. George amazed. Curtis wonders why they only show one question per person, do they edit the others out? Josh says he was expecting an LA question (?not sure about this), his immediate reaction was, "immigration? Get rid of it!"

Brit playing with Pug, saying "milking the cow, milking the cow" - off-camera (fortunately - scary thought -ed.)

Cass says she doesn't give a lot of credence to curfew. they knew how exhausted everyone but they had the mud etc. josh says they want em working to their schedules, cuz the main ppl working 5-7. jamie talking about demographics on the internet from 7pm - 1am. josh says internet always busy from 8-9pm. jamie says she has four! different internet hookups on her home computer. ***endorsement alert - josh, jamie, and curtis use freei.net. josh uses freeworld the most.

F4
(Ok, I gotta go to sleep - pulled an all-nighter. Someone want to give it a shot? Jamie lovers or haters, there's a closeup of her on F3 :))

They're still in LR waiting for the answers to come out. Eddie's now sitting to Brit's right on couch next to wall. Curtis says he hates mushrooms, Eddie too, Brit and Cass love mushrooms. Eddie can't stand tomato-based foods, he just spits out spaghetti sauce etc. he'll eat a BLT but if there's five tomatoes he'll take them all out except one. josh says he uses ketchup, jamie doesn't like ketchup, brit doesn't like using ketchup a certain way w/burgers. Everyone talking at once.

Eddie hates cauliflower, so does Brit. Cass likes cauliflower w/brocolli, Eddie hates that too. He likes asparagus, Brit says it turns your teeth yellow and makes you smell funny. She says you get gas from asparagus (George says keep it away from Eddie!)

RR announces they've tabulated the votes - time to assemble somewhere. They speculate that the BB voice is The Interrogator - Josh and Curtis are positive. Jamie going to RR to ask him. Walks by camera looking straight at it as it goes by.

Yes I just heard Brit Brit-wailing, "When do we get our dog back???" so it is not back yet, sorry about that one folks...

F4 has closeup of Jamie scrunching her face up as she eats (precious :) -ed.) Brit said she couldn't believe Survivor was for $1 million and BB was just $500k. Someone saying something about how it was only on for a couple of days.

(Only have time for a quick post -- sorry!)

Eddie is outside doing laundry. First going to wash the army stuff from the mud challenge and then going to do his own.

Earlier he told Brit a story about how he was never forward with women -- first kiss was always the women's idea, until he was with Monica. He made the first move with her -- and the sparks flew!

Brit loved the story and thought that it was really special. Brit also told Eddie that she voted for him and Cass in the pagent -- wanted him to win, and then teased him about wanting to have a quiet romantic dinner with him, but didn't want to appear forward. That's when Eddie told her the story about how he was with most dates and different with Monica.

Oh yea, the pug is back!

(Sorry to be so dis-jointed. I wasn't going to post until I checked and found a bit of a lull here!)
