Brit starts the roast.
Cassandra...We all make fun of how we're scared of you, but it's just because you're the most mature one here. We all look up to you and we're really not scared (okay, just a little bit!) of you. You're the lifeline of the house. I could live vicariously through you if I had a chance to sit down and hear all your stories about where you've been.

Josh...Where to begin?! (laughter) Focus, Brit, on the positive! Your fellow houseguests will do a good job of ripping on you so... basically you've been on the sideline of controversy and smack dab in the middle of it, too (George keeps laughing loudly). No matter what role you've played, you've always kept a smile on your face..it's a skill a lot of people don't have. Personally you've made me think about a lot of things and change my mind ever so slightly. Oh, your joke. After you were nominated, you became very quiet and we were all afraid that you would snap out of it. (?)

Cass. basically we don't want you to be banished, but we know you're not going to be because we made a call to the UN to get your banishment vetoed. And we're thinking yeah you and who else?

Karen; we all called your husband to see if you smoke after sex and he said he never checked.

BOOOOs all around, some laughter.

Karen, if you leave the whole house will be impacted drastically, less laughter, less good food, just less of everything. Don't know how to put into words how I feel about you. I love you and you've made this experience worthwile.

Next up is Curtis.
Cass: we all know you're with the UN and you have all your fancy ambassador privileges, but when it comes to banishment, I have three words for you: No diplomatic immunity. (Ba bum bump!)
Anyway, Cass, I am scared of you! NO, in all seriousness, we appreciate your seriousness and I think you have a great sense of humor too, that allows you to be a sane person among so many crazies. It makes me laugh every time i hear MMM hmmm hmm hmmm hmm. It's your wisdom I value. We know you really want to hug Brit! You're the only person who can eat an entire Blueberry pie while still somehow looking elegant. (more about her wisdom and advice) Whether you are here with us or not after Wednesday, I look forward to a life-long friendship with you and hold you to your promise to take me to the diplomat's dining room at the UN which so far Eddie is NOT invited to!

Sloshie: Mega came in here for his so-called platform. You however, came in here to wear platforms, nail polish and a new hairdo! ALl of that prettiness is what made you the original boy-band member of the house and because of that those throngs of screaming teenage girls will not let you be banished. Look forward to having your friendship and having fun after this is over. Your good heart is very special and a gift. If the teenage hordes let you stay, I look forward to more Frenchman, cybergenics, teaching you how to hold liquor, and your secret, whatever that might be

Karen: I heard Eddie tell George that Karen is the original soccer mom, but if she were Eddie's mom, he would want to sock her! (dog barks) We all know the nominations were hard for you and it absolutely killed me to see you in pain and in hurt. I know that if you go, it will be okay because one thing that came out of your nomination is that you know your family is out there for you. If you do stay, which is likely and possible, you do have kids HERE who love you and need you and you take care of all of us....

Chicken George
Want a smoke?! (big fake cigarette)
You guys are all cool cats!
Karen: Feel my door is always open for words of wisdom to you. Cooking, Cleaning, drinking, smoking, stress management, dating, and how to find a man exactly like me! Also, since you've been in this house, I heard that BB was going to put in a swing set. Too bad they don't make a mood swing set! (Coughs as drags on cig)

Cass: Hope when you get out of here you volunteer at my high school to be a member of our dunking tank. Cass, everybody is always going to you for advice: start packing (that was BB's joke).

Sloshua: Can't wait for your new book to come out. "How to date 2 women in an 1800 square foot house and lose $500,000!" (that was George's - he's laughing so hard he can't talk) BB's joke: Josh, when we told you to lighten up, we didn't mean your hair!

(ed note: George's Josh joke is better than BBs!)

Next up is Eddie
At the last nomination, I blew as much smoke up people's a$$ as I could. I'm not gonna do that this time.

Cass: My joke if I may. Cass, I heard you hadn't had sex in over a year. Guess that makes 2 virgins in the house--technically. (bad) On a serious note, it's been a pleasure rooming with you here. I really admire your prestige and your elegance and just the way you keep your temper in whatever the situation may be. I admire and respect that. I appreciate the way you get your point across at the right time in a subtle way and you're the definition of smooth. You're alright.

Karen: I heard when you get out of here you want a big juicy, sloppy kiss. What's George, chopped liver? Karen I remember meeting you at the finals and it was pleasure meeting and getting to know you. This experience has been more of a blessing. I'm glad I got to know you. I don't think I have to tell any one of you or anyone at this table that I do truly love you. Anything anytime you need anything at all, I'll be there in a heartbeat.

Josh: You've got a history of going after bit**es: Jordan, Jamie, Brittany. No wonder the dog's been hiding under the couch! Josh, you're a good man. I really don't have to tell you, we've only known each other a month now, but you've got a good heart. I can't reiterate enough: your first reaction is your best reaction. I stand behind you if you're right or if you're wrong. We'll party it up in NY or California. It's been a pleasure.

Last but not least is Jamie (Hollywood)
I want to say how I feel, but it seems like this roast is like 2 totally different trains of thought. Okay, jokes first, then I can say what I want to think.

Josh: We've all noticed in this house that you always like to get things off your chest. In the RR you get your opinions off, in the bathroom you get your hair off, in the bedroom you get Brittany off.

Karen: there's enough cooks in the kitchen, i think it's time you get out.

Cass: Your policy is to always stay out of things. Out of the alcohol, out of the controversy, out of the love bed.

On a more sincere note....This is tough. I don't think people at home realize how tough it is. As the group shrinks not only are we closer and closer, but we've spent so much time together. You share everything. You grow so close and it's tough at this point. It's like a huge loss, no matter what.

Cass: If you leave, there's going to be a huge void. It's kind of funny, because there's so much about you that everyone here respects so much. In this house, being such an emotional rollercoaster...when people stay up for dawn barbeque or drinking or whatever, you don't feel bad about participating when you want even though you could get nominated. You do what you need to do no matter what. to put you as concise as i can, you're like the voice of reason in this house, an unbiased person everyone can talk to. ANd whenever you give someone advice, it's always for their good and it's always genuine. and you're coming along> Last night when I said "cameraman" you said "or camerawoman!"

Josh: With you, again, there's going to be a lot of stuff I'll say 1:1. We have so much in common and it seems wierd we're both put in the house together. So much from our childhood is the same. ANd it's been tough because you're someone I really want to get to know, but it's been hard with all the stuff going on. If you stay, I hope I get to know you more. And you're so funny! Like it says under your mask "It's hard to frown when you're so happy." (note: Camera 2 is close on Josh, Camera 4 very close on Brit who keeps looking very guarded and shifting her eyes back and forth and looking at the table) More about how funny Josh is and how he's the originator of the Frenchman, the French laugh, etc. Future: cover of Teen Magazine, 17, next boy-band member, breaking hearts.

Karen, Karen, Karen. If you leave this house it will be an amazing void. You're definitely the mom, the head of the house in so many ways. They asked me in the RR about this. I come to you if I want to eat something to see if it's okay. You do so much. The chores! I don't know if they've been done until I ask you. When I burned myself when I was cooking, within 2 seconds you were in the door with aloe vera. And we sleep together in the love bed every night and we're so close. It's tough to get so close to someone and have that person be so sweet and sincere and miss her children outside the house so much. It's tough to balance wanting you here with how much you miss your kids so much. IF you leave the house will be turned upside down. (brit looks like she's crying) I'm really going to miss you if you go.

ALl agree that the BB jokes are tasteless and bad. Cass, Josh, and Karen thank everyone for trying to temper that tasteless stuff with good stuff.


Calling people bi*ch, the Cass virgin joke, all agree are way out of line.

Jamie's turn comes: she speaks about how similar she and Josh are: both valedictorians... Camera shows Britany's face, which shows a great deal of emotion. Envy? anger? sadness? Jamie says a lot of nice things about everyone, and Brit cries through the rest of the roast.

After the roast ended, they all complained about how terrible and cheesy the jokes that BB had written for them were.

Cass said she felt like BB had gotten them back, since they had tried to sweeten the roast last week, they'd given them jokes that were that much worse. She was especially annoyed at the "Cass is another virgin" joke.

Britt hid under the covers and says they aren't getting any more film on her.

Brittany is worried about the jokes that included her--and says if those jokes are anything like what the shows are being edited then she looks terrible to the world

jana- yes you are right..impt observation
Ok..Karen talkign about being moody again. She says she has never gotten pissed off and she is not moody. Jamie and Brit both say no. <What liars> Jamie says the mood swing joke came from his impersonation of her in the Red Room. Ok...i can't take this convo...someone else report

Jamie and Brit and Cass in the bedroom. Brit is crying, very upset. Cass is crying, too. Very upset about calling them bi*ches and the virgin thing. Say it's degrading.

Cass is very upset and trying to get it together so BB won't have that footage to use.

Jamie says it really bothers her that on TV this will obviously be used as though it was their words, not BBs words (she's right about that and it stinks).

They think there are probably 15 million watching the TV show and only about 100,000 on the internet watching the real thing. Jamie says the men will be perceived differently for this, but the women will be perceived as bi*ches for saying the stuff.

Eddie sticks his head in and asks what's wrong. Brit says she's fine, but starts crying again. Eddie apologizes, says he just apologized to Cass, too. Eddie gets into bed with Brit to comfort her. She's really upset and doesn't want anyone to see her. Under the covers to hide from cameras. Jamie is sitting on the floor, Eddie on the side of the bed with his arm around Brit.

Josh came in briefly. Brit says she's fine, no one has to worry about her. Still under the covers. Eddie tells JOsh Brit has some hair problems. Josh leaves. Eddie leaves, too. Off to lift weights.

Karen comes in. Asks if Brit is studying and if she's crying 'cause she can't memorize the routes. Brit says between sniffs that she's NOT crying and nothing is wrong. Karen asks if she's upset about the pictures? Raft being broken? (Trying to diffuse the moment with some humor.) Brit says she doesn't like the jokes that they say and she's nervous about what will be on TV. SHe's really worried about the bi*ch joke and the one about Josh getting her off in bed.

Karen asks them to remind her which jokes were about her. Says that they keep telling her in the RR that BB has their own best interest at heart, but Britt says that's not best interest! Karen says luckily she'll be gone on Wednesday. Brit asks Karen to throw some tennis balls over the wall with messages. Tells Karen to have her mom call and say her grandmother died so she can leave.

Jamie says it ruined everything for her (those tasteless jokes) 'cause how do you say something sincere after that. Karen says she doesn't think of herself as moody (in reference to that joke about mood swings). She says for them to tell her if she is moody. They say no. Everyone's emotional and they might interpret it that way.

Jamie says she doesn't even talk to Josh hardly, so how did they get off saying he goes after 3 bit*hes in the house one of which is her?

Karen says she's upset about the husband joke. She said BB knows she moved out of their bedroom in May and they really aren't a couple anymore. Also said the virgin joke about Cass was tacky.

Karen says she isn't moody---and can't understand the mood swing joke.

All three wonder if the story editors are really looking out for them.

Britt says 20 million TV viewers and 100,000 internet viewers(!)

Brit hopes that people on the Internet will see the full story and not believe that they wrote the jokes themselves. Jamie says that 50 million people probably watch the show, but only 100 000 watch on the internet.

Brit REALLY started sobbing about the Bit** joke when Eddie came in. He tried to comfort her. She pulled the blanket up over her head and said "I don't want them to film me anymore!!" (I thought to myself-she's having a meltdown!)

Then she recovers and tells Eddie she's OK, but she's still whimpering, Eddie who had tried to hug her, said oh your ok, ok Bye. And he left.

Karen entered and the three women contiued the talk about how the HG and jokes are portrayed and seem very concerned about the editing.

Karen

Brit is crying but won't talk to Eddie and Jamie.. says "dont worry about me Im fine.
Eddie leaves..
Karen comes in.. are you studying? (Brit has map in front of her face) WHat are you crying about? She wont say exactly. Says RR says BB has their best interests but they really don't. She is so pi**ed.

Brit says for Karen to throw a tennis ball in and let her know if she should leave. Have my mom call and say my grandma died if I should leave.

Jamie says the public won't know the jokes weren't theirs.. and if she goes in RR and say that was tasteless.. it will look like my response to Eddie not BB.

Karen says she'll make a scarecrow with pillows and her clothes for Brit to snuggle with after she's gone.

Before Eddie left the bedroom he and Jamie shared some sign language in which he apparently suggested Jamie stay with Brit, but he would leave because his presence was making her worse.

Whatever

Monday, August 14, 2000 - 10:25 pm Click here to edit this post

During Jamie's (outstanding) remarks- she said a lot of nice things to each of the roastees- she mentioned to Josh that they both had so much in common, it's weird that things going in house caused her to avoid him one-on-one, but she hoped to get to know him better if he stayed.

The four-feed wisely had close-up on Brit the whole time. Her face showed enormous pain, she was dying inside. She wiped tears from her eyes (three times) before having to resume her emcee duties- she could barely speak.

She's been crying ever since. Eddie tried to console her, she pushed him away. Karen came by, Brit denied she was crying. She's saying that she didn't like the jokes, about her and Josh, and doesn't have respect for the producers.

Karen and Jamie are with her. Karen rambling, Jamie trying to comfort agreeing about jokes.

(Outwardly, Brit is acting offended by the Josh jokes that were made at her expense, maybe she's ashamed and embarassed about her past with Josh. But based on the live feed, Brit didn't have any emotional reaction until Jamie talked about getting to know Josh better. Brit might have realized that Jamie might be able to get closer to Josh than she can, and that is probably the real source of her bad feelings now.)

Josh, Curtis and Jamie are outside, Jamie asking Josh if RR got any private info from him. Josh explaining he hardly talks to rr, they probably think he's a pain in the a## because of if. (huh? Can't HG's figure out BB watches them 24/7, they don't need to hear it in rr?!)

Curtis, George and Karen outside. George gives Karen something to read. Very serious. Curtis wants her opinion on whatever it is. Curtis goes inside saying he'll be right back. Karen is reading.

Says, Okay, what? George says READ it! Karen says tell me what I'm missing. George: What ISN'T in there? SHe reads some more. He keeps repeating himself. She says she must be blind and he should show it to her. It must be the rulebook. He says it doesn't say the discussion in the redrum are private. They can fling it back on them. He asks if Karen knew that they can fling back what she says in the redrum to the other HGs. Karen says, no everything you say in the redrum is confidential from other HGs. Curtis is back. Curtis says it doesn't say that (darn dog keeps barking!).

Curtis says nothign ever says that what is said in there is confidential from one another. The roast material seems to have gotten them thinking about this. (shut the da*n dog up!)

Curtis says he talked to the gal in the redrum about how who nominated whom needs to be confidential from the other HGs. She said it was clear in the handbook, but Curtis said it's not clear that BB needs to keep anything in the redrum confidential from the other HGs.

(sorry, I can't stand listening to the dog bark anymore!)

Karen and Curtis still outside. Brit is sitting on the floor BEHIND a couch in a nearly fetal position. Chiquita still barking-from the tension and anger she feels from the HG?

It sounded like Curtis is worried about BB sharing the information about who voted for whom. He thought what was said in the redroom was confidential. RR said not so from what I gather.

Boy I be Jamie is sweating now!

I'm going to be ill talking about karen rationalizing the votes and her reaction. What a double standard she has!

I don't see the feed with Britt on it..

The dog is still barking..Needs some food
but ya it feels that tension..

Curtis & Karen only talking about what the
future is holding for her in the BIG BROTHER house. She wants to see her kids

"I would totally crash" Karen says..

Curtis nods

Max

Monday, August 14, 2000 - 10:40 pm Click here to edit this post

Curtis and Karen still talking. George went to the redrum. Karen turned the conversation to who voted for her and how she gets irritated by George sometimes. She still suspects that George voted for her.

Says if she thought George was voting how he did because he needed the money, she'd bow out 'cause she doesn't need $500K that much.

Reiterates how much she wants to leave. Says if she's not voted out, she's really going to need a shrink 'cause she really needs to see her kids.
Has it in her mind that she's packing and getting out, flying down that sidewalk to her kids. (assuming they are the ones waiting at the gate) Says if that doesn't happen they better have Dr. Del Rio there in person 'cause she'll crash and burn.

Curtis says she needs to be prepared either way, 'cause Cass and Josh also have very good reasons to believe they are going and obviously 2 of them are wrong. Karen thinks that parents, mothers wouldn't fight to see her stay there unless they showed her kids asking to keep her in the house. Curtis says they think they might show them. Thinks Josh and Cass might have family that they interviewed, too and that they did that for him last time. (boy are they wrong)

Karen says she needs to see a shrink if she's not voted out because she's sure she's going to be able to see her kids. Curtis says it's 50/50. Karen says she's going to totally crash if she doesn't go out. Kisses goodbye, who cares about the suitcase - she'll just run down to see her kids. And if it doesn't happen they better have Dr Delrio in person because she'll crash and burn.

Curt: Both Cass and Josh have given good rational reasons why they think they're going, so you need to be prepared to stay.

Karen: Many voters will be parents and parents won't vote for her to stay there. They'll want me to see my kids

K & C talking about all of the good times they've had there, and bad times.

K: Lived the experience already, so only advantage to staying another 6 weeks is the money and she doesn't care that much. 4 kids out there that she totally misses with all her heart, dying on the vine like the zucchini that started with hope and shriveled. That's how she'll feel to stay. Isn't a quitter, doesn't want to walk out - so hopes she is voted out. Only good thing about staying is to be there for Brit's bday.

K saying if she stayed, she'd vote for the 2 people she never thought she'd vote for. Now George is outside.

SOMEONE SHUT THAT DOG UP!!!! Don't they hear it????? DAMN.

Karen is talking to Curits and rewriting history as to her role in house. How when she heard she was nominated she wasn't shocked to be voted but at the numbers. Continuing on in this vane. (ed: can't stand to listen to this cr*p tuning out)

George is back from the redroom..

BIGBROTHER will probably be speaking to them
all about all the confidentiality and stuff

George spoke to a girl that starts with an
"S"

Karen is going to the Redroom now

Dog is barking at something

George back. (DAMN DOG! SHUT UP!!!!)

George says he thinks the redrum will talk to each of them. He has confidence in BB and thinks they will talk to everyone about "it".

Curtis says he doesn't want everyone to be paranoid, but it is a concern.

Karen heads to the redrum.

Curtis finally wonders who the dog is barking at. Apparently she's bothered by one of the cameras. (this is the time I'd be saying "Kick the pugsley!" Sorry animal-lovers, but I can't STAND yapping dogs.)
