Lisa | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 07:29 pm  September 23 - Day 82 Julie Chen opened the live show by advising the viewers that Cassandra will be returning to the house tonight, and is actually waiting in the Red Room. She then went live to the house guests who were completely caught off guard. Josh and Curtis were in the backyard, Jamie was in the washroom and Eddie was asleep in bed. Their time was off because of the sabotage to the potato clock. Julie asked them to assemble in the living room, and Jamie scrambled to brush her hair, put on her lipgloss and attach her microphone. Eddie sleepily went to the living room, his pants falling down in the process. Julie asked them how they were feeling, and how it would be to be in the fourth spot. They all agreed the fourth spot is the worst spot, however, Jamie said you will miss out on two days in the house, and some money. Josh said it will still have been a good experience. Julie then told them that there is a surprise waiting for them and asked them to open the Red Room door. They did and out walked Cassandra, giving them each a bag of goodies. Everyone was really excited as they greeted Cassandra. She told them right away that she has not watched the tapes of the show, nor watched the show since she was banished, however, will tell them about her experience and what they can expect when they leave the house. She said there are five things she wants to tell them, and began with the Big Brother website being very popular and rated #1 amongst all websites. She then said the ratings for the show are good, and CBS ratings are up 138% since last summer for age groups 15-34, and up 24% overall for the time-slot the show is on TV. She then told them that people will recognize them on the street and she almost missed her flight to LA from NY because of fans. She said that people like them and can relate to them. Next she said that she has spoken to all of their families and they are all doing well and looking forward to having them return home. Finally she said that there are all kinds of opportunities out in the world for them and that they will have to move quickly when they leave, and the opportunities will depend on the person and what they are looking for. Julie interrupted the conversation by reminding the house guests that business must be taken care of and it is time for the first of the four to go to the Red Room to cast their live nominations for banishment. They each took turns during the duration of the show and the nominations went like this: Eddie - voted for Curtis & Jamie Josh - voted for Curtis & Jamie Curtis - voted for Eddie & Josh Jamie - voted for Eddie & Josh Total was 2 votes each meaning they are all up for banishment on Wednesday night. Julie then updated the viewers on Jordan's status, reporting that she now has a one day a week radio DJ job at The Point radio station in Minneapolis. Jordan was shown at the station listening to the house guests lyrics to the BB theme song, and telling her hosts to turn it off. She said she feels that she has been judged badly by the public, and it has been a painful experience. She was filmed cleaning out her locker at the stripclub she worked at, and said she is working on finishing her book. Julie then interviewed Dr. Drew Pinsky who said Cassandra will manage the house guests questions well and is very responsible in what she is telling them. They then discussed the lack of romance in the BB house, and Dr. Drew explained that Jamie is very contained, strong and concerned about how she is perceived. He also said that the fourth spot will be very disappointing for any of the house guests, but they all seem to have a very good attitude about the experience as a whole. Josh's family and friends were shown holding another party for him in his hometown. Julie then interviewed Regina Lewis, AOL spokesperson, who said that messages are being posted online at one message per second. There are lots of discussion about the fourth place, and the fact that only three guys and one girl are left in the house. A survey conducted that asked who would receive the most nominations for banishment resulted in Jamie 66%, Eddie 22%, Curtis 9%, Josh 3%. People on the street were then asked what their most memorable BB moments were, and all kinds were mentioned including the mudwrestling in the backyard, George impersonating Karen in the Red Room and Curtis finding the ticket to win the trip to the Emmy Awards. We then went back to the house guests and Cassandra's discussion. Cass told them about the media tours and what to expect when leaving the house. She said she will be flying back home tomorrow and that she flies first class now. She also warned them that the attention could fade anytime, and to just go with the flow. {E}ddie's family and friends were shown holding a party for Eddie at Fuzzys Bar in NY. The Southern Vermont College was also shown with reference to the four year scholarship they gave to George's daughter, Jessica. The house guests told Cass about the BB boardgame, and about the many planes that are still flying overhead with the various messages to them. Cass told them she has no regrets regarding her time in the house and she is really happy she did it. She said they should expect to run on adrenaline when they leave the house, but will have time to reflect about the time they spent in the house and what they learned there. Julie then told Cass it was time for her to leave and she said her goodbyes to the house guests. She then joined Julie in the studio and said that the house guests seem more subdued, Chiquita is thinner and the boys need haircuts. {J}ulie then notified the house guests of the results of the nominations, identifying each with two votes leaving them all up for banishment. Eddie said that was cool and it is up to the public. Curtis agreed that it is nicer this way. They then talked about dinner, and Karen and Brit hanging out with Josh's sister. There was a long moment of silence, and Jamie had a concerned look on her face.
