September 11 - Day 69

The show began with Day 67. George and Eddie were complaining about no hot water for the shower, and George told Eddie to go back to bed until the hot water is available. George told Jamie that at 10:00 a.m. he wants to have a group meeting. He kept saying "it's so obvious, it was right in front of us all this time, I've figured it out". At 10:00 the group gathered around the dining room table and George told them that he has figured it out. He said that there is more to the show than banishment and challenges. The show is meant to tell the world that if they all stick together, they win. They could have walked out as nine winners. George told them that when he was nominated for banishment, he had some fun by making signs that read "save our hero" and "save George". He then held them up to the cameras, but nothing happened. He said that he stepped out on his own, but BB is trying to break them apart and pit them against each other. When Curtis won the ticket to the Emmy Awards, it fell into place. They needed Curtis to be on Entertainment Tonight. They need the group - if they walk out as one, they all win. George went on to say that he has been reading the BB manual, and that if they all walk out, there won't be a show, and the house guests hold all the cards. The planes have been telling them all along, and they will all walk out as winners if they go out as one.

Josh then told the group about Brit's conversation with him last week, and what she had told him about George's family and town. Eddie said that he doesn't trust the sky (planes), BB or even the house guests, and that he's not walking out. George said that the show is trying to prove a point; it's not about popularity, but rather, that people can join together as one and they will win. Cass asked Josh if Brit had said that since no one can win against George and his family, they should all walk? Josh said that's not what she had said. Jamie said she can see CBS bringing in six alternates if they do a group walk-out. George said there is a risk in doing this, however, the money is bullsh*t and the point to make is to stick together. He said that there is so much money out there for them and that they have a real chance to do something as a group. Curtis said that the challenges are made so that they can all win together, and perhaps that is the point of the show. George said they have a chance to make history. Eddie responded that they will be looked at as either six winners, or six quitters that couldn't take the last three weeks. George repeatedly said that they are not quitters, and that their families would be proud of them.

After much more discussion, and for reasons unknown to me, they all agreed, including Eddie, to walk out as a group on Wednesday. Josh later told Curtis alone what Brit had said about him only being able to trust Curtis and Eddie. That the others in the house were questionable. Josh said he hated having that knowledge, and knew people would question his friendship if he said anything about it. He was relieved that it had all finally come out. Later, he told Jamie the same thing with Curtis close by. Jamie responded that the news did not make sense to her, and that she wishes she didn't hear it. Why would her close friend say that? Josh told her not to overanalyze the information.

The rest of the show was basically all of them discussing the walk out on Wednesday during the live show. Josh said he doesn't want to backstab to get the money, but would rather work for it. Cass said this decision allows her to step out of the game feeling good about it. Curtis said the money is not as important as getting along with the house guests, and that integrity is priceless. George said he has never sat at a table with a finer group of people, as he wiped away a tear. The show ended with Eddie taking the pictures of Monica off his wall and packing them into his BB suitcase, while saying he knows he's an idiot.
