Lisa | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 07:43 pm  September 8 - Day 66 The show opened with Jamie and Cassandra lying in bed discussing the offer of $50,000.00 the evening before and what their families would have told them to do. Cass said her Mom would trust her to make the right choice, but her sister would have told her to take the money. Jamie said she is unsure what her parents would say. Cass said there is something to be said for leaving the house with your head held high. Day 65 - Eddie and Jamie once again discussed the $50,000.00, and Eddie suggested that all the house guests are in the house for the money, and not the experience as they have always said. He proposed to Jamie that once the prize money has been distributed to the last three house guests, that they then share the money six ways as previously discussed, giving each of them $108,000.00. Jamie said that was not the original deal; they talked about sharing the money now, not having to go through the competitions and nominations, and enjoying the last 30 days in the house. Jamie said the last three weeks in the house will be the best. Ed responded that Jamie has yet to experience the feeling of being nominated for banishment, and that it is really cool and part of the game. Eddie said he has better things to do than spend three months in the house, and is not there for the experience, but rather, for the money to provide for his family. The odds of him winning were 1 in 10, and are now 1 in 6. Jamie asked him about the exposure and possible fame he may receive because of his time in the house, but Ed replied that he would have done it with no cameras in the house at all. Jamie was shown in the Red Room talking about the $50,000.00 yet again. She believes that everyone in the house could use the money, and she has many student loans to pay back. She said that she is really going to go after a career, and knows that is a financially dumb decision. She went on to say that if BB offered $100,000.00 - $200,000.00 to George, and in return, Jamie must leave the house, she would go because George really needs the money. BB asked her then that if she won the grand prize, would she share some of it with George. Jamie paused for a very long time, then said "that's a good question", then mumbled for a while and stared off into space. Later, all the house guests were in the kitchen, when the plane flew by trailing a message that read "Josh knows why we fly anti-George banners". The house guests discussed it quietly, trying to keep the message from George. George then joined them in the kitchen, and Eddie told him BB had asked them to stay in the house, and that there's a plane but they didn't see the message. George peered through the windows until he finally saw, and read the message. He instantly became upset and walked away from the others. Josh went to him in the living room, hugged him and said "in one ear and out the other". George went to the Red Room and asked BB what was with the banners. BB replied that they have nothing to do with it. George became angry and said that he is not quitting, and let "him" fly his plane and spend all his money on banners. The house guests were asked to discuss the social implications of the week's nominations for banishment. A discussion ensued about the three up for banishment being black, Asian and disabled. Cass talked about being black and how that impacts how she lives in the house, and why she has been nominated so many times. Curtis explained that they are each seen as a character, and he is seen as the Asian lawyer, Jamie as the beauty queen, etc. Eddie didn't see this as being an issue, stating that the walls don't see color. The house guests were given a daily challenge to play the price is right game. Products of interest to each guest were displayed on the table, and each of them had to take a turn on the prices and be right within $1.00. Curtis' product was a T-shirt; George had a box of chocolates; Eddie had beers of the world; Cass had hair mayonnaise; Josh had a disposable razor and Jamie had coffee syrup. The only person to guess within the $1.00 was Cassandra who guessed Curtis' $12.00 T-shirt at $12.50. BB announced to the public that on Saturday night, the winner of the daily challenge will win a trip to the Emmy Awards, and will get to rub elbows with the rich and famous. On Monday, we will get to hear all about it. The show ended with the guests in the back yard looking at a beautiful sunset. |
