Lisa | Wednesday, August 09, 2000 - 08:25 pm  August 9 - Day 36 The live show opened with Julie Chen advising the house guests that a phone had been installed in the Red Room, and that one house guest would be granted a 1 minute phone call to anyone of their choice. The person who would be granted the call will be decided by the house guests as a group. They were then given 3 minutes to decide who the lucky one would be. Right away, Josh and Jamie both said they don't want to be considered. It came down to Karen and George because they both have kids. Karen agreed that since she just received letters from her kids, George should get the call. All agreed. Brittany's family and friends were shown in a Minneapolis bar celebrating Brit's stay in the BB house. Her friends told BB that they don't believe Brit and Josh would ever get together in the outside world. All of her family and friends seemed to be very supportive and proud of her. George gets to make his phone call to his wife, Theresa, in the Red Room. As soon as he picked up the phone, Theresa told him not to speak, and then spent the following 50 seconds telling George how proud she is of him, and how she and the kids want him to stay in "summer camp" and to stay focussed. She then told him his niece had a baby. All George said to her, with 7 seconds left, was "Theresa, the people are so nice in here". After the call, George loses it and cries at the door of the Red Room. He then joins the house guests to tell them what Theresa had said to him. A new house guest was introduced to the group tonight. Karen was asked to go into the Red Room to introduce herself to the new member, and bring her to meet the others. Karen entered the room to find a pug named Chiquita, who is not fully house-trained, suffers from a gas problem, and loves burritos. All of the house guests seemed very happy to have Chiquita in the house. BB introduced a new structure tonight. From now on, each house guest will be notified of how many votes for banishment they receive during voting night. Dr. Drew Pinsky was interviewed about this new format and felt that it will cause extra tension for the guests, and will shatter any complacency they may feel. They will all realize they are at risk for banishment now, and it will cause trust issues within the house. Dr. Pinsky also felt that adding Chiquita to the mix will add an interesting dynamic for those house guests that have caretaking instincts. The house guests were each shown in the Red Room announcing their nominations: Cassandra - Karen & Brittany Eddie - Curtis & Jamie Karen - Josh & Cassandra Curtis - Eddie & Josh George - Cassandra & Josh Brittany - Cassandra & Josh Josh - Curtis & Karen Jamie - Karen & Josh Josh 5, Cassandra 3, Karen 3, Curtis 2, Brittany 1, Eddie 1, Jamie 1, George 0 After the nominations were made known, Josh, Cassandra and Karen all looked upset, with Karen looking especially peeved at the group. Josh and Brittany took Chiquita outside, and the dog jumped in the pool. Josh jumped in, fully clothed, to save her. Karen joined the others outside and told Brit and Jamie that she knows who voted for her, and feels like she's been kicked in the balls. Since there was a tie for second place, all 3 will be up for banishment this week. We all have one week to phone in with our votes... I wonder who will go next Wednesday? |
