September 6 - Day 64

The live show opened with Julie Chen advising us about the live challenge that will be presented to the house guests during the show. They will be offered $20,000, for one of them to leave the house tonight. Julie introduced the replacement house guest, Beth, who will enter the house should one of the guests choose to leave with the money. Beth described herself as being determined, opinionated, goal-oriented, competitive. Her sister said she is melodramatic and a drama queen. Beth admitted that she will have trouble with Jamie in the house, because she doesn't like girls like Jamie and does not have a good opinion of Jamie thus far. She said she thinks she will get along well with Eddie, and believes the house will drive her crazy. Julie announced that Beth was a BB finalist but didn't originally make the cut. If she does enter the house and go on to win first prize, her prize will be pro-rated to the amount of time spent in the house, and she will win a maximum of $140,000.00.

The nominations for banishment were then announced, keeping in mind that if one of the guests leaves with the $20,000 tonight, the nominations would be nullified:
Curtis - voted Eddie & George
Josh - voted Curtis & Cassandra
Cassandra - voted Eddie & Jamie
Eddie - voted Curtis & Cassandra
George - voted Josh & Curtis
Jamie - voted Cassandra & Eddie
The house guests were then advised that Curtis, Cassandra and Eddie all received three nominations and are marked for banishment. George, Jamie and Josh each received one nomination. The house guests had all dressed in army wear, with George wearing a huge plant hat on his head. When asked why, he said he has been attacked by air, speaker and TV. Curtis sent a Happy Birthday message to his mom.

The house guests were then given their live challenge. They had received a warning about the challenge from an unknown person on the other side of the wall, however, Julie told them they don't have all the facts. Cassandra was asked to go into the Red Room to bring out whatever was on the chair. Cass did so and returned with a suitcase which she lay on the table in front of George. George opened it to find the $20,000.00. Julie asked them each to consider the money, and to remember that three of them will be leaving the house with absolutely nothing. George said he has never seen $20,000. All took turns touching the money, but Josh said he would rather see a McDonalds cheeseburger. Curtis asked them if anyone wanted the money. They all said no, and Julie acknowledged their decision. She then asked Josh to go into the Red Room and retrieve the next item on the chair. Josh returned with a second suitcase which he lay flat in front of Eddie. Eddie opened it to find an additional $30,000.00. Julie then offered the guests $50,000.00 to leave the house tonight. She gave them 1 minute to consider the offer. Curtis thought out loud about taking the money, and then said no. George talked to himself, then said no, saying he hopes he did the right thing Teresa. Julie went live to the guests and asked them for a decision. They all said no to the money, and Josh was asked to return the money to the Red Room. Julie then asked Beth what she thought of their decision, and Beth replied that she thinks they are insane.

Dr. Drew Pinsky was then interviewed by Julie, and told her he is not surprised the guests turned down the money. He said there is a powerful dynamic in the house now. He also said he is not surprised they all said they would share the prize money six ways the other night, except for Eddie. Dr. Pinsky said Eddie wants to win the money. He also said that Jamie has trouble being honest with her true feelings, when asked about Brit leaving last week. Curtis' family were shown talking about how close they have become while watching Curtis in the BB house, and cheerleaders were also shown cheering Curtis on. Julie then interviewed the AOL spokesperson, who advised that the poll asking who would take the money showed 36% believed no one would take it. An instant AOL poll was run which asked if the public was surprised no one took the money. The response was 50/50 yes and no.

Julie then showed an update on Karen's life since leaving the house. Karen has left her husband and moved her two girls to California. She has rented a house and was filmed arriving and checking it out. Brit arrived in California also to greet Karen, and the two were shown giving autographs at a restaurant. Karen said she feels like she has always given her life to others, and now feels like she is doing something for herself. Karen joined Julie in the studio and talked about how overwhelming the changes in her life have been since leaving the house. She said when she first left the house, she got online and checked out all the BB sites. She was very upset by all the negative posts online, however, received many positive phone calls from friends, and also from people all over the U.S. and Canada. An artist named Tony was shown, who creates paintings of the house guests. He paints pictures in 10 minutes and sells his art.

Brittany was also in the studio and joined Julie for an interview. She said that she is having so much fun out of the house and will be moving to California also, and will stay with Karen for a short time. She said she has been watching lots of tapes since leaving the house and her opinions of some of the house guests have inevitably changed. She thinks more highly of Eddie, Curtis and Josh now, however, questions George, Jamie and Cassandra. She could not believe George's voting strategy, nor his family's actions. She was also hurt by Jamie, thinking they were really good friends, however, Jamie did not appear upset when she left the house. The guests were then told that Brit was in the studio and one of them will be given the opportunity to speak with her. They had one minute to decide who it would be. Of course, all of them pointed to Jamie, saying she should get the time, but Brit yelled out loud that she wanted to speak with Josh, not Jamie. Julie said that Brit broke the rules, however, Josh entered the Red Room and listened to what Brit had to tell him. Brit immediately told him he can trust Curtis and Eddie but the others are questionable. She went on to say what George's family had done, and that the outside is a mean place. She gave him an update on Karen as well. Josh said he still loves her and they'll be friends forever. He also said that he will ignore what she said and that he trusts in God. He joined the others and said that Brit told him not to worry about the editing, but that she had said other things he was not going to tell them about. Julie asked Brit if she wanted Josh to tell the others what she had said, and she responded yes, however, understands why he did not.

The show rapped up with everyone discussing the conversation with Brit and what Josh wouldn't tell them, and Cassandra looking quite disturbed.
