(I can help out for half an hour or so, the challenge starts at noon PDT i believe)

F4
Brit and Curtis in the LR, Curtis is playing with the pug. He says he wants to get a pug now.

F1&2
George and Cass outside, no longer really studying. George commenting on how things seem to go faster the later you are in life, Cass agrees. Jamie comes outside, George going inside to check the clock (it's 11:30am PDT). Eddie walks thru LR on F3&4, now Jamie and Cass talking outside about how ready they are.

Eddie comes outside, Jamie tells Eddie about how Cass saw Eddie naked. Cass says it wasn't REALLY naked, she saw him thru the door. Cass didn't take a shower the first day, Jamie didn't for the first 4 or 5 days (???) Eddie says if it takes 2 or 3 months, you'll see him naked anyway. Cass thinks it's different for guys (being naked). She says that if a guy is naked it's okay, but if one of the girls gets naked pictures on the internet it could trash their image.

Pugita is outside, they talk about nicknames for the dog. (Cass calls her Sweetie??)

Now George comes outside, he says he has 'em all except for three cities. Ed is screaming or howling, like the Tomahawk Chop. Now talking about David Letterman as a verb? "I'm gonna David letterman over the wall when this challenge is over." (Not familiar with that slang -ed.)

Geo and Cass outside at table, talking about chickens. Now talking about how fast days are going. Now Jamie outside. George back in, Cass asks him to check clock. 11:30 BBT. Jamie says she thinks she's ready for challenge, Cass agrees. Even tho they wasted time earlier in the week.

Eddie outside.
Jamie: I didn't know I was the only one who hadn't seen you naked.
Ed: Doesn't bother me to be seen naked.
Geo: I didn't even notice anyone could see me.
Cass: I tried not to shower at first.
Jamie: I didn't shower for the first 4-5 days!
Ed: You've got more to worry about, top and bottom.
Cass: And people can use women's images more, post them on the internet, etc.
Pug has joined them outside.

George: well, I did it, I've done the best I can (challenge).
Eddie now yelling at top of lungs...humming kind of.
Eddie just threw something, said he wanted to "David Letterman" them (couldn't see what he threw...maybe maps). Chickens upset by throwing.

Now discussing crazy pug. Chickens squawking in background.

Jamie: Think it will make it over the wall Eddie (?)

Curt: (BB Voice) "HG, please refrain from throwing the maps over the wall" Now everyone looking at maps again.

Geo: the veggie pizza is no good.
Curt: it's okay.

Eddie/Cass quizzing again.
Posting and switching cams.

Britt and Josh sitting by each other on the white couch in the LR, studying maps. Brit wearing light blue top and dark blue shorts, Josh wearing green sleeveless T. Josh rubbing his hands together (as if to keep them warm), Brit grabs his hands and starts rubbing them trying to warm them. Brit comments about how cold it is in the house. Now not much going on...switching to F7...

F7
Brit and Josh in LR, Jamie, George, Eddie, Cass, Curtis outside. The chickens are squawking like crazy. Jamie looking at Eddie, Eddie calls Jamie "Hater". He says that now that Karen's gone, Jamie's taking over.

Brit and Josh each have a map (or something) on their laps. Josh looks over at Brit's map, leans way over on her. They exchange looks from time to time. Now Brit leans over on his shoulder. No words.

Curtis now quizzing Eddie outside...he knows Denver to Philly...he knows Portland to New Orleans...(sounds confident - I think George will muff it before Eddie) Billings, Montana to Mobile, Alabama, Jamie goes inside. Eddie does Salt Lake City to Cincinnati, Curtis comments that "you have this sh*t down pat." Eddie gets another one, Curtis thinks he hasn't heard anyone miss one in the last few hrs. They're going in now...

(Cackyh, any way you want to cover it is fine by me, I'm on F7 now :))
Everyone now inside, Josh and Brit still on the couch. Brit talking in baby talk, very hard to get, Josh whispering and talking in low tones. Doesn't sound like anything significant, mostly babbling. Curtis starts playing with the dog. Now Josh gets up leaving Brit on the couch. Curtis picks up the dog and carries her to another couch, sits down. Brit announces that she thinks she is ready. Brit says she knows it all, but is afraid she'll blank like in Dead or Alive, where she got the first few wrong in her head.

Eddie and Josh in the BR, laying down on their beds, Eddie making basketball-shooting motions. Josh on his stomach studying the map.

Now Jamie in the LR, saying that she has also blanked a couple of times. Now Brit saying that she used to miss the first few all the time. Cass says that she took a lot of oral exams in grad school but it was a long time ago. Curtis only had one oral exam but it was really easy. Brit telling a story about someone who took a gun and put it in an alarm box outside the oral exam. he was getting things wrong, went outside and got the gun and shot three panel members. Cass has heard the story. Brit says it happened just before her sister had to take orals.

brit: how much longer?
curt: 15 minutes.

now many HG in LR, cramming at maps.

brit: I feel like I know this, but when they ask me I'll go blank...like with dead/alive I knew people and then froze.
curt: with dead or alive we cared more.

talking about the strategy they've selected.
jamie: I've always been good at tests, like in school.
cass: when I was in grad school it was all orals.
curt: I've only had one oral in my life, one professor.
cass: oh no, these were by committee. it was awful.
brit: when my sister did her finals, it was oral; someone had hidden a gun because he was scared he wouldn't do well. guy went and got gun and shot some of the panel/board members. my sister got very nervous. it is very stressful.
jamie: people think that it's their whole world...like this house!
cass: yeah, what's worse...failing or shooting people???

(Cackyh, if you take F3&4 the LR, I'll take F1&2 the BR)
F7
Cass says that's crazy, what would be worse, being charged for murder or failing the test. Curtis jokes "failing the test!"

Josh and Ed in BR still, Ed says something accusatory (but jokingly) and Josh says, "It wasn't me." Ed mockingly repeats "It wasn't me!" Ed continuing to practice his shot.

Brit now talking about if in a marriage, one person takes care of all the bills, and the other person has no idea, what would happen if one - leaves off. Talking about her grandparents, her grandpa takes care of the bills, but has no idea even how to operate a microwave.

Cass, Brit, Jamie, Curt in LR, waiting for challenge.

Talking about marriages, how it's scary when one does all the finances etc, in case one dies.
Now discussing

Brit talking about the lady in Target she hugged, before she left for the show. Cass asks why she hugged her. Brit tells about how she begged the stock person to help her. She was wanting to get a pack of three rings, but only wanted two from one and one from another, so stock person switched the packages for her.

Jamie: if that happened now I would think there was a mic listening to me as an employee.

Brit: I think the last waitress I had will remember me, we asked her to sit down with us.

Jamie: Yeah, cuz it was so immediate.

Brit: Yeah, she'll remember, because we asked her to sit down she was so frantic.

Laughing.

Jamie: Time is 53.
Curt: So much time.
Jamie going to bathroom.
Brit: I think Eddie did something bad in there.
Cass: I checked, I think it's okay.
Curt: if not, make it vanilla (funny voice)
Jamie: I hope they're in my head, that I don't go blank...

Jamie and Curt making fun of BB voice
Curt: "HG, go to chicken pen" "Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha"
Curt wondering what BB voice is used for the show.

George just came in. "Chicken George" and "Bwak-bwak-bwak"

Geo: I've given it all I can.

Now all singing the chicken song.
Cass: I don't even know how to survive the chicken song. I think it will be a daily occurance.

All HG moving around and preparing for challenge. Posting now, will stay on f3 to see what happens...

F1
Eddie still lying on his back, arms behind head. He starts laughing. Asks George if he saw some movie. Some guy was taking a driving test for his taxi license. Some old guy was the driving instructor, and kept saying "Slooowwww dowwwn" (in a funny, old-man voice - wish I knew what he was referring to -ed.), "Sloowwwww dowwwwnn at the yelllllowww liiiiiggghhht"

All the boys are in the BR except Curtis. Now the boys get up and come out to the LR. George announces that he's winging it, if the chicken man misses it, he gave it all he could. Now George and Jamie are bawking "Every limbo boy and girl, all around the limbo world" together.

F1 is the bathroom mirror cam now, we see Brit then Jamie primping and adjusting their hair. Jamie with extreme closeup as she looks at herself in a two-way. She says, "I hear Bob! I want to give Bob a hug!" Whispering "Hey Bob!" Brit comes over and looks thru the mirror too, "It was a sliding Bob, I just saw the camera!" now Jamie also looks thru mirror, VERY BIG CLOSEUP of Jamie's face squashed up against mirror. Jamie and Brit continue down hallway.

F1 switches to Cass and Eddie talking in LR. Cass says Pugita should stay inside the house, she'll be running around outside for the challenge. In general she thinks it's great for the dog to be running around outside reminding the chicken's who's the boss.

F1
moves onto George, at the kitchen counter, doing something with a towel - wiping his sunglasses clean apparently. He goes outside.

F1 switches outside, girls are outside, now come back inside. Cass talking to Ed in LR. Cass says "we did that last night". Ed talking to Jamie, Jamie says she forgets little things (referring to challenge I assume).

Now Eddie singing "If you don't know me by now, you will never ever ever know me, no you won't no you won't! If you don't know the interstates by now, you will get lost on a road trip, yes you will! yes you will!"

BB comes on, it's time for the challenge! Guess I could help cover this...

Cass/Ed discussing how they think they'll need to sit for challenge. Cass back thru hallway.

Ed: don't fight it hollywood, if you don't know it you ain't gonna know it...
Ja: I know.

Cass back...
Audio still cutting in and out (ouch in the ears-ed.)

Ed teasing Cass about something "Oh, he's so dreamy, he needs to father my child" (?)
Cass: You just need to stop.

Ed singing "If you don't know it by now" to Jamie. "if you don't know the interstates by now, you will get lost on a roadtrip..."

Brit in LR, "let's go! let's get this overwith"

BB: HG, good afternoon. set up as you did for last roast, except without table. move the table over to wall. take the (?) and set it up so it's blocking the door.

Ed: that's a fire hazard dude"

BB: take the chairs as well, I'm going to have you stand along there...

Brit says she's getting nervous.

BB announces it's time for the challenge -- instructs them to move furniture. They have to move the dining room table out of the way and remove the chairs so they can stand in line in the kitchen. Everyone helping move the furniture.

F1 with another shot of Jamie looking into a two-way and flipping her hair. Curtis jokes, "This challenge brought to you by Rand McNally.com"...here we go...

George said (earlier) he knew they would make him go last. Eddie and Curtis talking, Ed said he had the East Coast down pat, just didn't know the Northwest so well. Brit complimenting George b/c he didn't crack under pressure like he thought. Encouraging him, "You did it!" George joking that he's a changed man now. He says he was shaking so bad. George laughing about how that was tough on his heart.

Eddie again saying how he is gonnna Letterman those maps over the wall (guess Letterman <- throwing stuff out the window)

F1 now staying on George, he plays to the camera again, "you guys were ruthless to the old man, you know that right? Ruthless!" laughing though. Camera stays in LR. Curtis comments it's the first time they've won two in a row. Now they're on a winning streak.

Toddyosu

Friday, August 18, 2000 - 12:20 pm Click here to edit this post

Lots of overlapping talking as they put the furniture back. Geo is really proud of himself. Say, "They were gonna put Chicken George in the frier." Also saying that it was worth studying.

Brit reminds Geo that he said that he cracks under pressure, but he didn't. She says, "You're changing history."

Jamie and Cass stand by quietly.

Curt gaffaws.

Josh claims he knew his thanks to baseball and football.

Now getting rid of map and saying they never want to look at it again.

Jamie was very happy when they gave Eddie Seattle (not sure why). Also reiterates how she was really confused when they said San Diego.

Curt: This is the first time we won 2 in a row. We're going to start a winning streak.

Cass thinks they gave her Minneapolis b/c they never heard her say that. Curt says he got midwest stuff too.

Jamie says Geo should keep his cardboard box that he wrote the routes on because some of them were wrong and she thinks it funny.
