Talking about going to the Emmy's. Jamie keeps repeating Wow over and over again. She thinks this is so exciting for whoever gets to go. She is wishing everyone good luck. She said even if she doesn't go they will be thinking about the other all the time. Curtis is trying to guess where the Emmies will be held. Cassandra said this Challenge is the most creative by far.

They are trying to figure out how the person will be decided to go.....

Jamie, George, Cass & Curtis inside. They don't seem to know the details of the deal fully -- they seem to think that they'll be able to go to the Emmy show *and then come back* (???). Continue to obsess about how hard it would be to have to withold information upon return ...

Curtis wonders why BB just doesn't send Brit to the Emmys. Ah! They decide that BB wants a rep who's still in the house!

They clearly are not aware that BB is trying to get rid of one of the inmates permanently (at least, so *we* think).

Curtis guesses that the Emmy's are being held at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

Cass thinks this is a really interesting/creative challenge/award.

Curtis guesses that the announcement made in the house earlier is to be used for a TV clip.

Jamie wonders if perhaps they'll be asked to make nominations ...

It's clear that they don't know all the details yet ...

Cass, Jamie, Curt, Geo in LR talking about challenge.

Jamie of course is talking about how it would be beneficial to someone. She of course uses Eddie instead of herself as the person that would benefit from it because he wants to go into broadcasting. (ed - Just tell the truth Missy! We know you want it and badly. I bet you can taste it.)

I think the point of the challenge is that no one is gone out of the house forever. The person or persons that goes to the Emmy's will return. Cass is worried about whether or not this will cause even more tension than the information given to Josh when this person(s) returns. Cass is worried that it would be hard to not let outside influence in the real world destroy the house with all of the drama.

Jamie is going on and on about how this so cool.

George is looking around to see others reactions I think and is thinking himself.

f3-
jamie says this doesn't seem real, and they relive every moment of the last week's unreal moments.

jamie: wow, this is so cool. i'm so happy, no matter who gets it, it's just the greatest thing. jamie asks if anyone feels sick right now (all say no, just excited) and jamie says that her heart is in her throat (that happens alot, her neck is starting to stretch from the pressure)

jamie: good luck to everybody.

curt: whoever goes, will probably be gone for 8 hours or so, at least.

cass: this is an interesting challenge, extremely creative...

jamie indeed looks sick to her stomach, while george remains absolutely silent.

curt suspects that whatever was filmed (thanks for the clue curtis!) was probably so that the public also wouldn't know who will be at the emmy's

jamie talks about how "unfathonamable, unfa-thom-a-ble" this is, and asks if anyone else is feeling this incredible feeling. all agree it's amazing.

curt/cass tell george how sharp, stunning he'd look in green hair and tux. jamie says um-hm. jamie suggests he take his hose water with him (oy-vay).

cass and curt remind jamie, when she gets off on a rant, that they are household names, and anyone will recognize them at the emmy's. after all, what's the point of sending one of them if it's not for publicity and recognition (sounds of bwa-ha-ha are heard faintly, some guy with a big alien head in the control room called "big brother")

Jamie suggests they might make the HG's nominate someone to go to the Emmys in the RR. She says that the emotions are unfathomable if you're not in the house. "Do you guys feel like this? Isn't this cool?" She's a bit overwhelmed. George says that it's crazy, and everyone laughs.

Jamie says that whoever goes should take some bottles of George's "hosewater". Cass thinks the show is big enough that people know who they are. Curtis thinks they're probably household names. When they open the door to the limo, people will point and shout "it's Cassandra!" Curtis: "You know you'd be the butt of some joke, from the host. It wouldn't be mean," he adds. Jamie is starstruck over the Emmys, but Cassie and Curtis try to convince her that being on BB is better exposure than attending the Emmys. Cassie points out that she's not up for an award; Curtis says that she'd be lost in the crowd. Curt just thinks it'd be an incredibly cool memory to have.

Oops sorry for the post about them being able to come back to the house. I didn't get the beginning of this convo. so I didn't know that they weren't given all of the info. yet. :(

expectations of future stardom continue among the inhabitants of the living room, with curtis jumping on the entertainment bandwagon....he would love to perform. jamie eggs him on, talking of his comedic talent. watch out people, we've got a room chock-full of stars.

(as my cynicism grows i must depart. keep up the good work.)

Ha-ha-ha-ha

They believe that they're household names and will be immediately recognized at the Emmys.

Curtis thinks maybe the HG going to the Emmys will be blindfolded.

Curtis & Cass try to explain to Jaime that the Emmys isn't the place to build a career:

Curtis & Cass agree that "being here (the house)" is better exposure than going to the Emmys.

Cass says that producers, casting agents have been watching and "if you've got it (talent) they'll be calling you once you're out."

Cass (to Jaime): You're on TV 5 nights a week!

Curtis tells Jaime that "deals" are probably not made at the Emmys.

Jaime asks if Cass & Curtis want careers in entertainment. Cass says she's staying with the UN, but deals with the entertainment industry every day (doesn't explain how), so this could help.

Curtis says he wouldn't mind and would pursue opportunities, but was happy with his career anyway and doesn't want to jeopardize it.

Cassie didn't know the Emmys were coming up, but she says that she [correctly --ed] thought the MTV Video Music Awards were coming up, "If not this week, then next week." (Wow, cool, Cass! --ed)

Curt asks her if she'd like a career in showbiz, and she says that she has a commitment to the UN, but it brings her into contact with showbiz people. Jamie asks Curtis what he thinks, and he says that he doesn't think this will be a big life-changing experience, that his legal job was his dream job, but that he loves performing, if the opportunities were available. He wouldn't want his legal job to be a second job. Jamie says she always thought Curtis was funny, and saw that he could really perform during "Karen Springer". Cassie says she saw it when he was Lord of the Dance.

"Women across America are envious of you, Jamie," says Cass. They start talking about Cassie's hugging, how she doesn't do it much, but they remember one time George came running down the hall and hugged her. They laugh about a time Eddie kissed Cass; she says she was like "He's kissing me, Brittany!"

Jamie theorizes that CMG is an insider; Curtis says that she couldn't be too inside, or she'd be fired. He says it's such a huge production, with so many people, but that they must be tightening it up.

Curt tries to think of shows that'd be up for Emmys.. Friends, Frasier.. Cass says Sopranos, Sex in the City.. Curt says ER, Ally McBeal.. Cassie, some HBO miniseries in May, "The Corner", it was really well done, she says. Curt laughs that maybe the stars of those shows are fascinated with the HG's, the same way ordinary people are fascinated with celebrities.

"This _is_ pretty wild," says George.. "Every day it's something," he adds, saying that he could live with excitement like this every day. Curtis says that it gets a bit lacadaisical, then they spring something like this on them. George says he doesn't know much about it; Curtis offers to pump him up about it. Starts expounding on how exciting and glamorous it would be to visit the Emmys.. that as he walks up the red carpet, people will say, "It's the Chicken Man!", telling him that he'll get to meet celebs he's always been a fan of, and that now he's in the same boat, he is a celebrity! Curtis expects that George's contacts and phonecalls will be waiting for him on the outside; that before, he'd have been excited just to have good seats at the Emmys.. D'oh, camera switches to Cass and Jamie in another room.

Jamie notices some strange feature of the wall next to the girls' room, near the bathroom mirror; Josh notices that it looks like it takes a key; Jamie thinks you could break it open pretty easily. It looks like an access panel for the camera behind the bathroom mirror. Jamie jokes that BB will come on and say, "Houseguests..." She moves on to Eddie, to ask him if he's seen it, and he says he hasn't. She says she thinks it's for the little camera behind the mirror.

Jamie leaves Josh in the bedroom, where he turns off the lights and lies down; Jamie heads to the bedroom, where she reapplies lip gloss, runs her fingers through her hair, and heads into the toilet. Just seconds later we hear a flush, and she comes back out; she takes a bottle of something from her cubby, and goes to the sink, where she washes her hands compulsively. She takes a bottle of something red out of the medicine cabinet, puts it back, and grabs something out of someone's bathrobe pocket, it appears; her microphone, apparently. She heads to the LR, where Curtis is joking and complaining with George about the horrible gas the pug has just had while sitting on Curtis' lap. She goes outside where Cass is, and they continue to laugh about how pungent her gas is.

George is outside with Cass, having trouble explaining to Cass why he's willing to leave, that he didn't come into the house for the money, but rather so people could get to know him a little bit. Cass says that the house already knows that; certainly the George being portrayed on the show is based on the real George.. If they said they'd build Jefferson High School a football stadium, there'd be nothing holding him back. He says that he's been through a lot in life, but in the end, it always works out. Cassie says that she'd hope that if he was offered a "financial package," he'd let his family benefit somewhat rather than give it all away to the community, because he's earned it. That he deserves it. She says she's sorry, that she's not preaching; he says sometimes he has to listen too; she says she feels bad that sometimes he doesn't feel he can express his needs. George would be alright, he says; "We know you're a winner," says Cass. She wants him to stay for him, not because she has to prove anything to the HG's, or for anyone else. George says he did something for himself; he got into the house. Cass keeps reiterating, "only three weeks to go." She says there is no way in the beginning she would've believed that these six people would still be in the house; George agrees. "Fate or destiny, or if you believe in God, God's will, or whatever," says Cass.

G: Its hard for me to explain.. but its important for people to know I didn't do this for the cash. I did it for people to get to know me a bit (oh pulleeze- sorry- ed)
Ca: you don't walk around talking about money.. don't know how you could think we think that.
G: if they say they'd build Jeff HS a new stadium.. I'd be outta here
Ca: and we'd be mad at you. If you decided that there was a financial package that would benefit you.. I'd like to see you take it. if 500K then that's different.. but 50K, 75, 100.. you deserve that.. you've talked about going to school, your kids.. etc...

G: Either which way, old georgie, he'll be all right.

Ca: you need to do whatever you do for yourself and your family
G: i did it for myself
Ca: and you've survived here and thrived.

Ca: you couldn't have told me that these 6 would still be here.
G: agreess.. but we are
Ca: fate destiny.. Gods will or whatever...
Ca; who did you talk to this mornign
G: some guy.. over the conv about the rules..."the most important part is to just have fun" Thats part of the rules
Ca:Absolutely funny funny funny
G:yeah

Ca: if you get to go tomorrow.. that would be a huge deal.. your town would be so proud.
G: we'll see.. everybody would just love to go to something like that.. Imagine the quiz show afterwards..
Ca; What did you eat? what did you see, what did you hear
g: or just the ride in the car..
ca: the limo.. absolutely
Ca: poor eddy has been washing dishes all afternoon
G: I offered to help
Ca;I did too... he just wants to do them himself.
Ca; wonder how it will be in 2nd season if its in the winter. Can't go in the pool, sun, etc..

Cass tells Geo that the Emmys are a huge, huge deal, and that his town would be so proud of him; George says he'd rather let someone else go who knows more about it, because he knows that everyone would love to go; that they'll have a challenge to find out who goes.

George says it'd be exciting to ride in a car. Cass says, "The limo," and George, sitting on the patio cross-legged, rocks back and forth and says, "just to ride in the car." Cass wonders what the second season (ha --ed) in the winter would be like. They agree that it would change a lot.

Cassandra says that at first, the hard part was being cut off from the rest of the world. Then, in the middle, they were all concerned about how they were being edited and portrayed, and that now, they're having a good time, there are only three weeks left, and they should just try to stick it out. She wonders if Brit would be going to the Emmys as well. She says they can build lots of drama around getting ready to leave the house, the HG's sitting in the house while that person is out on the town, etc. George sits, contemplative, cross-legged. He asks Cassie if this Hollywood thing is real, and she pauses, "Well.. George.. You know, it kinda is real, and you're a part of it."

It is now 6 minutes until tonight's show and they just called all the hgs into the house. Maybe they are planning some type of live offer to them? This might be interesting!!!!

My apologies to Eddie's family. Yesterday, I incorrectly posted that Eddie's father was past away. Now, while sequestered in the boys room, Eddie says that it's his dad's 45th birthday today.

I feel awful, and just wanted to post this to make my correction.

Curtis found the golden ticket. Josh says- "You will be the one to pick up our first award (ha, ha). Everyone is very excited.

George- you are a good one to go.
Curtis- I will remember all the details.
Jamie has said at least 5 times- "it is so exciting" (jealous, I think?)

F1/2: Eddi do’en dishes (ed. Who says he doesn’t help out?) Curtis with him just chill’en. (note: curtis just got out of Redrum – being fitted for a tux and he was given a blind fold)

F3/4 on bedrooms: Josh, Geo, Cass(?) napping

I can’t locate Miss Lipgloss (sorry – Miss Washington)

Curtis: they asked me how much I weight… I told ‘em ‘coming in here I weighed 165…

Ed’s still cleaning and Curtis is ‘setting table? Putting something together actually. It looks like some sort of a … (gets a hammer) Nope, it’s the plate rack. He’s trying to fix it. Askes “do we have nails, hooks and such?” He’s now getting right into the fix effort.

Ahhh Jamie. She was in the Redrum… (ed. proly telling BB how happy she is that Curtis found the ticket. J). She’s back.

Jamie in GR trying to wake up Cass, then lies down beside JOSH? Ok, Josh is in the love bed with Jami, Cass is sleeping in another bed – same room, and I don’t know where Geo is.

Curtis is out in back yard to ‘buff’ up. Bicycle time for curtis.

Ed’s in the BR (lights on) reading something.

(ed. It’s about to get super boring while curtis rides, Ed reads, Josh, Cas and Jam nap and Geo remains lost) Posting.

6:18 pm BB time:

Found George.. sacked out on a couch, with a blanket.

Curtis was called in for another fitting.. as he
said "all sweaty and gross" right off the bike..
Eddie was asked to help him try something on and they blocked the view.

Eddie outside now. Was bouncing a ball, now just
sitting..

Curtis emerges into back yard.

Eddieinside, passes the snoozing George; cam focuses in on Geo.

Curtis has returned to bike.

Cass seems to be up and wandering about.

7:23pm bb time

Hmm.. no posts since i went to dinner..

The HG got their grocery order which Cass, Curtis, George and Jamie checked out and stowed away. General discussion of what to freeze, keep out, etc.

Prior to that there was a sleepy discussion in the LR (woke geo up) and cass opined that they'd let Curtis get his hair cut.. since he's so fussy about it.

Jamie sounded surprised and I was holding my breath that she wouldn't try to talk him into
letting her cut it.

Looks like general dinner prep now, sun's down...
jets still roaring.

Oh.. almost forgot.. an inordinate amount of time
was spent discussing the blade of grass protruding from the pughole and Curtis made an attempt to remove same but was only successful in pulling it out more :)

They left her outside and Cass suggested that she not be allowed on the furniture when she did come in.

Jamie is outside playing with the pug now.

yawnnn...

I will try to add a little, just tuned in

Roll Call....
F1 and F2 on Kitchen with Curtis Cass , George Jamie at table

F3 and F4 on Eddie in the Living Room

They are talking about the Emmy's
They are laughing about seeing Mega perform on stage "Brother" Eddie saying something about "my white one-legged enemy, Eddie"

They seem to all be cleaning up after dinner or snack..take that back they might still be cooking dinner...not sure yet

Eddie is doing something on the living room table, he asked for pliers

Cass and Curtis are giggling about George doing something, sound is muffled
(attempting to listen to all 4 feeds at once)

Okay they do appear to be preparing dinner

Jamie sweet talking to chiquita outside, not much convo between the HGs.

By the way, I have not located Josh anywhere on the feeds, I assume he is sleeping

Jamie is trying to get chiquita to sit, actually she was calling her pugita. She is saying , sit, sit , sit, sit pugita, she is playing with the pug in the yard

Sounds like Cass is cutting up chicken feed on the kitchen table...

Jamie is still outside humming and playing with the pug

(ed. will post this, will be able to cover for about 20 more minutes)
