Lots of net congestion. Eddie is up someone said they saw him earlier. Feeds on kitchen and pool only. Eddie on couch in living room being bothered by dog which he likes. Some male is singing softly. Must be josh out cleaning pool. Can't tell what he's singing. Dog is really trying to get comfy on top of Eddie on couch. People around table are pretty quite now. |
Karenskid | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:06 am  Brit at table talking about appetite suppresants. I think she said eating grass works. brit talking about different hair colours and combinations she's had. Carrot muffin, etc. She's on a diet starting today. and will eat no more pies. Everyone but josh and eddie at table. Karen doing some dishes now. General talk. they all seem happy. Karen's a little self-absorbed and pensive. Joke about changing name of show to Brittany and Friends. Cass says she gets more sleep here han at home. Josh came in. Eddie on couch playing with dog. George, Jamie Karen on one side of table. Josh, cass and Curtis across. Still lots of general chit chat. Brit in washroom now. In mirror on feed one. Getting ready to color hair maybe. mixing something. Yep she's doing it. Starting on top with root area. It appears to be some white goo. Can't eell color. |
Steveinbc | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:08 am  Feed 4 Eddie is awake on a couch -- he's been sleeping there. The dog was asleet at this feet, but is now going ape-sh*t on the comforter -- chewing and tugging at it -- playing with Eddie. Jamie came along, asked how he was doing, and he made a remark about the fuc*ing cameras. Lots of talk up in the kitchen, but Eddie is quietly ignoring it all. The dog is now licking it's butt. Eddie is really getting into playing with the dog -- now he turfs it onto the floor. |
Karenskid | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:13 am  Josh in and out of bathroom. Did not talk to Brit at all. She's still working on hair. Layer by layer. BB just asked her to put her mik on. Jamie in and out. Brit says Holy crap my hair is turning pink immediately. Rest still around table. Eddie still on couch playing with dog. Brit's hair is turning a lighter pink. Jamie back in bathroom with brit. Curtis is called to bathroom to do a little chunk of his hair. Jamie is helping brit with her hair. She actually cut off a chunk of curtis's hair. To test the color on his hair. |
Karenskid | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:16 am  Net congestion. Totally stopped up here. Sorry guys. |
Ender | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:37 am  Quick update; Josh outside aeriating grass. (spikes on feet) George clucking and feeding chickens Curtis, Cass, Jamie in kitchen doing something to dog. Thats all there is on the feeds right now. |
Murphy | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 10:49 am  Britt continues to dye her hair (Ed: kids: do not try this at home) Jamie is assisting. Britt is looking nervous. Karen & Cass are looking at recipe book for carrot cake ingredients. They need frosting recipe, too. Looks like K & C are whispering about playing a trick on either the guys or Chiq. Can't understand. Something about using Velveeta??? George & Curtis are grooming the dog out in the yard. Josh is in the kitchen now back outside. |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 11:28 am  Long conversation going on between Karen and George. Karen keeps reading parts of her letters and telling George what the kids meant "between the lines". She thinks they really want her home. SHe keeps saying how much she misses them and how Ashley, in particular, needs her. Says 3 months in the life of a 15-year-old is a long time. She said she feels she's grown in the house and is ready to go. She actually said something nice about Tom! Said he cares about the kids schooling and them. Said despite all the craziness and how she feels about him, she's grateful he's been there and been able to retain some level of normalcy in the kid's lives. George is mostly listening and every once in a while saying things to her about how this time is good for her and things will get better here and she should want to stay, etc. Very few comments, though, compared to Karen's talking. Karen said that she's learned she has her own opinions and thoughts while in the house. Something she was never sure of before. She's also concerned about Brit if she (Karen) leaves. Said something about being a bit disconnected from the house right now, partly because she wants to finish her book. |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 11:35 am  Karen says she feels like she's being herself but at the same time worries that she's not who "they" want her to be (the voting audience? the HGs? don't know). She said something about walking down the sidewalk, but I missed most of it. Something about looking forward(?) to walking down the sidewalk and seeing her kids at the end of it. A sign of hope. George says he thinks that if you decided to walk out, BB would ask you to wait 6-8 hours so they could get your family here to be with you. Karen says her family is busy, though. George says, well, if you get voted out, they'll be coming here next week anyway. Karen thinks they'll know that on Monday. She also says something about if she was an alternate, she'd hate to be put into this house at this point (which she assumes would happen if she walked out on her own). Talk about if an alternate came in, they couldn't talk about anything from the outside and it would be hard. She says they are under contract and if they said anything when they came into the house, they wouldn't get any money no matter what. George says, give yourself a couple of hours, an overnight's sleep and if it's your decision after that to leave, so be it. Let it fall where it may. Karen says she thinks as people leave, things will be different. It will be interesting. Says she's a strong personality here and in the last few days the way she's laid low has been good. George asks if she's going to keep doing that and she says yes, she's comfortable with it. SHe will keep doing chores, but not take such an active role in some things anymore. George says what happens if she doesn't get voted out. She thinks that means her kids want her to stay. Thinks they've been interviewed since her nomination. (ed note: can she BE more self-centered?) The dog comes over. George says he's gonna get back to his pillows(?) and leave her to her book. |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 11:42 am  Brit's hair is now bright green. Curtis, Cass, Jamie, Josh, and George are all watching the progress. Karen is outside with the dog reading her book. I think Eddie is still on the couch off camera. Josh is going to get some highlights in his hair and get the curls/kinkiness straightened. Karen takes the dog with her back inside. Goes to check on the hair dying. Cass is doing something in the kitchen. Not much happening. Idle banter about coloring hair. Curtis says "At Mattel, they're going to have to recall the Brittany action figures!" (to change the color hair from pink to green) George says he doesn't even want to THINK about "Celebrity Deathmatch". Cass says his girls would think he was the coolest dad if he was on that. Brit says she's never seen the show. (ed.note: Please MTV, do one of these shows with the HGs! It would be a RIOT!) |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 12:31 pm  {Where is everyone?!!! HELP!) They tested the wine and found it's VERy strong. Planning a party tonight! Britt started putting highlights in Curtis' hair. BB called Brit to the redrum and said they need to do some repairs in the women's bedroom and will be issuing a challenge, so they all need to go in the men's bedroom. Eddie has been sleeping on the couch most of the morning. George is worried about him. Jamie woke him to go to the bedroom. |
Rocket_Rob | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 12:40 pm  Did anyone get the recipe for their wine? The BB wine sounded like it might be good to try. Any help would be appreciated. |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 12:48 pm  Curtis now has some highlights in his hair (can't really see them on the live feed very well). Everyone seems to like it. George wonders if he went a little over-board with the blue hair, but he's not really worried about it. "It's not as though I'm going anywhere for at least a couple of weeks!" Brit keeps trying to round everyone up to go to the men's bedroom, but folks are taking their time finishing up whatever they are doing (with the wine, with cupcakes in teh kitchen, whatever). Curtis asks them to try to keep the dog in one spot as far away from his bed as possible and keep her still so that she won't shed so much in the men's bedroom. (poor guy is sniffling a lot these days with his allergies) Finally everyone in the bedroom at 12:44. Talking about how strong the wine (tonic) is. George says he'll thin it down with some orange juice for tonight. Brit asks if she should "fear the tonic". Some jokes in funny voices about not fearing the tonic. Josh is playing with the dog and one of the dog's toys. Dog not being very cooperative at staying in one place. Brit still has the green dye on her hair. Says it can stay on for a long time. It's semi-permanent color, so she says the longer she leaves it on her hair, the longer the color will last. George's blue hair is semi-permanent, too, so she tells him again he should delay shampooing as long as possible 'cause a lot of the color will come out then. Some talk about looking directly into the 2-way mirrors with your face right up against the glass and sometimes you can see inside. Jamie says it's sort of scary to do that and suddenly see the camera right in your face. She says she saw the operations room for the German show on TV once and talks about how big it is, etc. Long silence. |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:00 pm  Some talk about what BB is doing. They aren't sure if they are setting up a weekly challenge or not. Brit says they told her they needed to fix something in the women's room (ed. note: she keeps saying "girl's room", but that sounds so juvenile to me!), but wouldn't way what. They think maybe it's something to make it easier for the dog to get on and off the bed. Karen asks some questions about hair dying and how to make sure the color comes out even. (yawn) Blond hair color names: Dishwater, Dirty Blond. Eddie says Dishwater Blond sounds disgusting. F1 is panning over what looks like a road map of the U.S. Yup, it is. Looks like it's set up on an easel of some sort. (methinks there's a challenge coming up after all) |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:04 pm  They are cold in the bedroom. Curtis fell asleep. As soon as Britt noticed, she pointed it out and laughed loudly, waking him up. Josh put on a shirt 'cause he was cold. Everyone is just quiet. Now F2 shows the map, too. F1 is still panning around it doing random close-ups. It's set up in the corner between the living and dining room. Now F3 is on the redrum. Eddie starts whispering that Curtis is an ***hole, joking around trying to see if he's really sleeping or not. Curtis laughs. F3 treats us to the Chicken cam now. F4 the only one left on the bedroom. |
Battlestar | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:08 pm  Weekly challenge---map of USA--Road Trip. Memorize routes between major cities |
Battlestar | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:10 pm  Karen says she won't be there for the challenge so she won't say anything...but she would do great if she was. Each person will be asked to chart the route between 2 cities using the Interstates |
Annagator | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:11 pm  [Hi, Max, I'm here to help out for a bit if you need it, although you are doing a great job, and this is pretty boring with them locked in the bedroom] F7 F1 panning around living room, testing angles? Oop, here we go announcement from BB, next weekly challenge sitting next to the 'still' [tonic] if you would go take a look, send someone to RR in five minutes with your wager. K; oh, cool, what is it? starts reading directions: get ready for a road trip, we have provided a roadmap of the interstate system of the US... Karen keeps talking, they have to memorize routes from their houses to other places, it looks like. C: that will be hard K: it would be easy for me, but I won't be here, so I'm not going to say anything. Discussing wager... |
Funkisgood | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:14 pm  The houseguests received their challenge. They are supposed to chart the course using US interstates between several major cities. They will each be asked (e.g. "how do you get from Philadelphia from Los Angeles?") at noon on Friday. They are discussing how much they should wager. I think that they are wagering 20%. They don't know if one of them could get one wrong or not. They may be allowed to get one wrong "if they are good this week." They will be studying the interstates all week. Karen is convinced that she won't be there for the challenge so suggested that the HGs decide amongst themselves. Karen is convinced she'd be good at this challenge though. |
Max | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:14 pm  BB - HGs your next weekly challenge is sitting next to the still...okay, the tonic. If you could go out there and take a look, then send someone to the redrum with your wager in 5 minutes. Good luck. CHallenge: Road trip of the country (with their minds) Memorize the routes between major cities. They have to chart the path between major cities using the highway system. Karen says "It would be easy for me, but I won't be here." They list some sample cities. You need to know every possible major route between the major cities using the Interstate highways. Each HG will be asked to chart the path between 2 cities using just the Interstates. Not sure how many they can get wrong. Jamie says she can memorize the whole thing, she's pretty confident. They decide to wager 20% and Jamie goes to redrum to tell BB. Even after she goes to the redrum, the others are still discussing how much to wager. They are trying to figure out how many different combinations there might be. Karen points out that even numbers go east west and odd numbers go north south. (i think) Curtis said he didn't know that. (me either) Jamie comes back and says she asked how many they could miss. BB said "that depends". When she told them they were thinking 20%, BB said "have you no confidence?!" They decide to stick with 20% and Jamie goes back in redrum. Brit is hugging someone and saying how he's radiating heat and she' absorbing it all (I think it's Eddie). Jamie comes back. She says she asked if BB had heard their response and he said, "of course I did". WHen she told him 20%, she asked if that meant they can't miss anything. BB said, "probably right." |
Ginger | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:15 pm  For the weekly challenge they have to memorize the cities along the major U.S. interstate routes by studying a map BB has provided. George says, "Oh this is a hard one." Karen says, "It'd be easy for me, but I won't be here." I believe they've wagered 20% of their grocery money on it. Sorry, the sound is too bad for me to make out much more. |
Annagator | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:16 pm  They decide to wager 20% after questioning BB on rules. They don't know if they can get any wrong and still win, BB won't answer the question, says it depends on how good they are all week. BB is not happy with their wager, Curtis says 'tell them to f*** off. Everyone laughs. Karen has some insight about N-S interstates having odd numbers and E-W having even (I could have gotten this backwards). Then she says they don't need to now the city bypasses, which have three digits. (ed: Karen seems to have a lot of input for someone who said she is not going to say anything) |
Annagator | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:27 pm  HGs still just discussing challenge, different routes, etc. Jamie says she's going to go make nachos for everyone. Keeps asking Eddie if that's good for him. She is going to put ground beef on them (yippee). Josh is showing Karen where he grew up. F2 is zooming in on the map, now F1 is also. F3 showing kitchen table, Jamie in there cooking, Cass in there too, I think. F4 on living room, can see some HGs in corner looking at map. Now F1 doing closeups, follows Curtis(?) away and then back. Now following Eddie into kitchen, quick shot of chiquita. Now Karen is talking about roadtrips and how they get old really quickly, driving through mountains. She's talking to Josh. |
Annagator | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 01:31 pm  Brit just came in after rinsing hair. It is REALLY green. She asks if Karen likes it, K says yeah, and it doesn't feel awful. Brit says she put conditioner on it and it looks wild. Now Brit is showing Josh and Karen all the places she's been. Josh says he hasn't had time to go very many places. Brit says you've gotta make the time (funny voice) Josh says he hasn't had time, and does she want him to drop out of school. Now Jamie's mike is loudest, she's going to put chives on nachos, too. Brit and Josh still talking, but people in kitchen drowning them out. |
