George is now in the house sitting at the table with the tonic. He has a pair of pliers and is doing something to an object which appears to have two pieces of plastic tubing protruding from it. Eddie now walks out of the RR, but George seems unphased. George says something about making tonic or mixing something in the tonic. George says if could mix something with the tonic, maybe it wouldn't taste so bad. Eddie suggest perhaps lemons, or lemon juice or orange juice. They talk as Eddie plays with the pub.

Everyone else in the house is asleep. Eddie thinks he hears something in the storage room and he puts his ear to the ground near the crack of the storage room door to try to get a better listen. George heads for the kitchen as Eddie sits up, apparently giving up on trying to hear whatever is he thinks he heards through the storage room.

George gets a bottle of tonic from the fridge. As he opens the bottle, he can hear fizz as gas is being let out of the bottle. He takes two bottles outside. F3/F4 follow him outside. He lets the fizz out of the bottles. Eddie remains inside.

F1/F2 still in the darkened girls room.

BB announces to all in the house that the 3 winners of the pagaent report to the RR with their crowns. Eddie puts on his crown. After a few minutes, Brit appears in the kitchen then heads to the bathroom where Eddie is waiting to use the w/c. Cass is in the w/c and as she leaves, Eddie goes inside. Brit, meanwhile plays with the pug.

(Gotta get dinner. Someone please pick up. Good luck!)

I feed just switched to george. I think he was trying to hide something and Curtis saw him.

Curtis made him show what he was doing....

George has cut off the tops of 2 soda bottles and threaded a string through it. He hold them up to his chest (like boobies).

{Hysterical laughter from G.}

Curtis says she is going to kill you!!! (Don't know which "she" he was talking about)

The winners emerged from the RR with white containers.
Brit announces it is lobster and prime rib.

They are setting up on the picnic table because the big table has the puzzle.

Eddie comes out wearing his crown, earlier he made a reference to Burger King crowns.

Eddie brings out a vase and some flowers for the table. Sounds like BB was listening when the HGs were talking about the food they would like. There is even a chocolate shake.

BB just announced to Eddie that only the 3 winners may eat the leftovers. (!)

Jamie outside drooling over the food she is going to miss.

The feed switched to sleeping people!! (grrrrr)

Josh and Jamie ended up in the cave. Josh stated that he felt liberated by the house. Said that the worst that could happen to him in the house was that he could be voted out. When he interacts with people in real life they are forming opinions of him. He says he has never gone without a shirt before or sang before. He said to teachers he was a good student, to employers a good employee and to parents a good son, here he can be himself. All people will know all about him now. Jamie said that in some ways it was liberating for her as well. Their conversation interrupted by Curtis and George with questions about their dinner.

On F3 it looks like Brit, Cass and Eddie are finishing their dinner. Apparently BB really did a good job of picking their favorite foods, favorite desserts, etc. They were discussing how Mega, Jordan and Karen would have enjoyed some of the challenges they have missed, such as the sumo wrestling, mud play, etc.

(Pie looks great!!!)

Lost sound......

(Wow, no posting in over 30 minutes.)

F1/F2 Curtis, Jamie, George, and Josh in the cave talking in the dark, but the door is open.

F3/F4 Eddie, Brit, and Jamie finishing up their dinner, eating dessert now - cake.

(Most of the interesting conversation is taking place in the bedroom, so that is what I'll cover.)

The people in the bedroom are talking about what food they would have liked to eat if they had won the contest. Missed what Josh, Jamie, and Curtis wanted (phone call). George wanted steak, baked potato, garlic roll, missed the rest.

George talks about "being ready" to leave the house. Curtis says they all have to be ready to go back to the old life - wonders whether he'll have to start a new job. George talks about his family and going back to take care of them, says he's had a "good ride" in the house.

Josh says that when they get out, they'll probably have to force themselves to do the fun things they promised they'd do because it might be difficult because they might be too busy. George agrees.

George says you can always make more money on the outside, but the one thing that is difficult to have is time. They need to spend their time wisely because that may be more important than money.

Josh thinks the people eating dinner will rub it in their face. Curtis says they feel pretty bad that they can't share their food. Jamie is just listening intently as the guys talk.

Talk turns to wine and alcohol. George says that a glass of wine can be used to relax you and the expensive wine tastes good. The guys talk about which wines they like, sweet wines, whites, red wines, etc..

Back to the cave... George, Jamie and then Curtis sitting on George's bed I think. Jamie has her head on Curtis's shoulder. They are discussing the royalty dinner. Apparently Cassandra got her milkshake. I think Eddie got beer. They mentioned Britt got a milkshake as well.

Curtis asked Josh what his favorite meal would have been and I think he said the same, but not sure -
Curtis: prime rib, wine, good coffee, something with raspberry sauce over it
Jamie: filet mignon and lobster, baked tater, salad, vanilla ice cream with hot espresso poured over it.
George: Steak, baked potato, garlic roll, salad, maybe pina colada

(I missed a lot of these, becuase I wasn't prepared for this.)

They all said that they are ready to go out and eat. Discussing burgers too. Curtis said that he was going to have fun when he gets out of the house, he is losing money in the house but he is going to spend what he has left. George said that he will do what he has to do when he gets out of the house and if that is "popping nails" that is what he will do.

Curtis: This may be a reminder (when he gets out)of how good the simple life is. George and Josh talking about how they are living for the moment. (George mentioned a moment with George and Curtis in the kitchen and everyone is laughing but I couldn't understand the story.)

Discussing how good a glass of good wine would be right now. Josh mentioned another drink. (Sound seems very muffled and I am having a hard time understanding.) Pug is in there asleep. Curtis is asking the pug where she has been and what she has seen and what the show has been like. (If only dogs could talk.)

The four in the bedroom discuss food in the house. Curtis says he likes the pizza nights and he loves the lasagna. Josh likes tacos. Curtis also likes the steaks. Jamie likes the pork roast, and she likes the fried rice and chicken parmagen. They all agree that rice dishes go a long way.

George says they don't have much ingredients to work with this week. They recall their first weeks in the house, how they only had basic stuff cuz they were trying to figure out what to buy, etc..

Jamie asks everyone to imagine what it would be like to watch the tapes of themselves at the beginning compared to how they are and how they act with each other now. George says they've done well as a group because he had heard the four people on other BB shows around the world left their houses.

Curtis says this will be one of the best memories of their lives. Josh says everyone around here has the kind of personalities that bring out everyone else's personalities. George says you don't even think about the cameras anymore.

Curtis talks about a Larry King show where Paul Romer and Mary Ellis Bunim were interviewed about reality television. They joke, "Are we the 10 most interesting people in America?" (paraphrasing) They all laugh hysterically at the thought.

(Since no one is covering F3/F4 outside, I'll try to cover that.)

Outside, Brit, Eddie, and Cass talk about handicapped people in America. Eddie talks about starting kids in wheelchair basketball. He describes one of the programs he is involved in and how it works. (Won't go into detail here.) Eddie says the goal of the program is to emphasize that there is life after disability. The younger these kids start in these programs, the better.

Cass says she as amazed at how athletic Eddie is, despite the fact he has one leg. She says you don't really think he has one leg because he is as capable of doing things as anyone else.

Eddie thinks people who watch the show probably don't see him as the "one legged guy" anymore, probably in the beginning, but not now. He says that the longer they are on the show, the less their stereotypes are used to described them, e.g. Curtis might have been percived as the Asian guy, but probably not anymore.

Josh and Jamie go outside and ask our diners how was dinner. Our diners all joke that the dinners were not very good.

F3
(I see lawyerman is watching the cave, I will go outside.)

Eddie telling a family story, something about his brother getting hurt. Cass says that she lives with her sister and her 3 kids and how when something happens to the kids her sister knows exactly what to do. Britt discussing how some kids don't have as good a mom (very paraphrased).

Cass telling story story about nephew or cousin turning white and his mother knew what to do, about dislodging food/object. She wouldn't have known what to do but his mom knew how to take care of it.

Eddie: Mothers who don't take care of their kids. One day was in an elevator about 14 years old with his mom. Mother and 5 year old son get in and the child said "mommy, mommy, what happened to that boy, he doesn't have a foot" and the mom answered "that is what happens when a mom doesn't take care of her kids". Good thing they got off the elevator right then. Eddie's mom was in shock and Eddie said he couldn't believe it. Eddie telling about hearing kids ask their moms about Eddie not having two legs and that he will tell the moms not to worry about it and not to make the kid feel bad and he will talk to the kid. Says kids are honest. He says that he does not like seeing moms grab their kids and jerk on them to get them away from Eddie because they are embarrassed.

Cass: Handicapped in Africa do everything. (To Eddie) You are less sensitive or more open about your situation, talking about it and people don't know that,and that parents might think that maybe Eddie might be sensitive about it.

Eddie telling about having gandicap awareness days at schools, wheelchair basketball, he would bring his racing chair, etc. Shows highschool kids that don't go getting involved with alcohol because of what it can do, but if it does happen there is life after disability. We demonstrate options of sports, racing, wheelchair basketball, tennis or arts or music or whatever helps them get involved. (He is talking too fast for me to type it all.) The key to education, people see wheelchairs coming in and see "sneakers" going out.

Cass tells she has been amazed at how strong Eddie is, that he has one leg but he is not really handicapped or disabled. (AIRPLANE)

(Brittany doing mostly listening. Eddie's language has been clean for him.)

Eddie said that the show is not going to be a soapbox for the handicapped for him and that he was questioned about that before he went in.

Mega was dubbed as the "black man" and Curtis was "Asian man" at first but they people know them.

Josh, Curtis, Jamie now out to look at the food. They are telling them it was "bad". (They are trying to make them feel better about not having the food they had.)

All feeds are outside. All HG's are now outside. The diners - Brit, Cass, and Eddie - all are leaning on their chairs appearing quite stuffed. Brit says perhaps she can ask BB for permission to share their leftovers, but George asks her not to do that, to just play along with the game.

Brit unbuttons her pants a bit because she says she's too stuffed. Some brief sexual innuendo as she does this, but that is short lived. Curtis tries to make the diners feel guilty, "We're going to eat our beef macaroni now." They all begin to clean up the outside table with all HG's going back and forth between the patio and kitchen.

(Looks like Sbw and I were on the same wavelength. Sorry for the missed conversation inside.)

F1/F2 show the kitchen area. Most HG's are there.

F3/F4 show the outside patio. Eddie is outside cleaning up, as Brit goes back and forth from the kitchen helping him.

(I'll try to cover the outside.)

Eddie takes some garbage and dumps it into the compose pile as he sings the Police's "Walking on the Moon." Eddie goes inside, Brit follows him. Eddie comes back out to check on his laundry, still singing.

F3/F4 Eddie enters the pool area. No one else is outside. he is singing to himself, standing along side the fence that surrounds the pool. he reaches accross the fence to pick something up, not quite sure what he's going. He leaves the pool area and goes into the kitchen.

F3/F4 follow Edie inside as he goes into the cave. The pug is in the cave and eddie talks to the pug. He sits on his bed while the pug lays on another bed. He grabs something off the "mantle" next to his bed, looks at it briefly, puts it back and exits the room saying "Shi+head" to the pug as he walks out and turns off the light.

Eddie goes to the dining room and sits at the end of the table looking at the puzzle.

All feeds are now in the kitchen/dining area.

F1/F2 is focussed more on the kitchen area where Josh and Brit are doing dishes.

F3/F4 is focussed on the dining area where the remaining HG's are all working on the puzzle.

Curtis has found all four corners to the puzzle. George comments about the Mall of America and Jamie says she wants to go there. Brit describes the amusement park at the mall and how it works. She describes the rest of the mall. Jamie is no longer paying attention to Brit, but George and Josh continue listening to her.

Now Brit and Josh playfully flirt with each other using a sponge at the sink. Brit grabs both of Josh's hands and Josh faces her. She lets go and it almost appears as she turns around, Josh tries to grab her butt, but she doesn't notice. Brit continues to talk about the mall.

BB just asked one of the HG's to do something. (Probably Josh since he can't be seen.) Brit has made her way over to the puzzle as George appears to be cooking sausages and pasta in the kitchen.

Boring puzzle talk at the dining room table.

8:27 BB Time

Feeds 1/2 - Chicken George (wearing what looks like a chefs hat) is at the kitchen counter. Brit (off camera) is telling the HG about the Mall of America. [I think] (i.e., Leggo Land, etc.)

Feeds 3/4 - Others are working on the puzzle at the table.

Everyone seems to be working on the puzzle. All four feeds on the table. Brit and Josh are talking about lyrics to some song. Otherwise mainly puzzle talk. George is cleaning up the kitchen.

George has revealed that he is color blind and will be of little help on the puzzle. Josh said that he then is in charge of feeding them. George is asking everyone to taste something. Then says 'Folger's no more.' (new coffee brand?)

Jamie says seven people break seal together while sitting doing a puzzle. Seven people, including Cass.

(I'm back! I'll try to go at least another 60-90 minutes.)

All HG's have been in the kitchen for the past hour or so eating dinner or working on the puzzle. At this time, George is going back and forth between the kitchen and outside, cleaning dishes. The rest are sitting at the dining room table working on the puzzle.

There is general nonsensical chit chat going on at the puzzle. George seems to have settled down in the kitchen, cleaning the countertops and other various items.

Brit heads for the bathroom to use the w/c. F1/F2 follow her while F3/F4 stay in the dining room. As Brit leaves the w/c, she says "Hi" to the camera. Cass joins her in the bathroom. Brit remarks how her hair color is changing. Cass washes her hands and returns to the kitchen.

Brit goes back into the w/c and as she enters, she wiggles her a$$ to the camera facing directly opposite from the w/c door. She says, "Ooo Cameraman!" and closes the door. F1/F2 swtich back to the dining room. All are there working on the puzzle as Jamie makes from coffee.

Cass talks about a celebrity who got her start on BET, but she also comments that she doesn't like BET cuz there's too much music and videos on that channel. Talk turns to Russell Simmons. Brit interupts as she reenters the room and Brit asks, "Does anyone notice anything different about me?" They all try to guess. Jamie correctly guesses, but it was inaudible - something that has to do with her scent because Brit says something like "you were paying attention to what I look like, not my smell."

Brit returns to the puzzle and sits down. All HG's are now working on the puzzle talking about puzzle pieces, etc..

Eddie relates a story about the days leading up to entering the house. He was at a party and rumors were flying around that there was supposed to be some big announcement about him, but he couldn't tell. Some people were guessing he had cancer again, others thought he was getting married. Eddie says that they all know now.

Jamie offers Eddie some coffee, but he says he doesn't drink coffee. Everyone, except Jamie, now is sitting at the table working on the puzzle. Jamie is standing and working on the puzzle. There are disjointed conversations between individuals, but they all have to do with puzzle pieces.

Brit comments, "At least we get to socialize." Jamie agrees that it's good to be all together.

Curtis wonders where the pug is. She cannot be seen anywhere on camera. George suggest that they let the pug out to go pee since it's her usual time to do that.

Josh is looking at his foot. Jamie runs to the bathroom to get him a band aid. He applies it on his foot, then heads for the cave to retrieve the pug. Josh carries the pug from the cave and brings her outside.

F1/F2 switch to the outside cams and shows Josh leaving the pug there and returning inside. F1/F2 follow Josh inside.

The HG's mock the BB voice who wakes them in the morning. Cass says something like, "As if we're supposed to be excited about a new day" sarcastically.

F1/F2 are now following the pug who is alone in the backyard. The pug is wandering and sniffing the ground, probably looking for a place to do her business.

F3/F4 show the HG's working on the puzzle. Brit says, "I just proved I can poop and not smell." (Probably referring to her comment in my post above.)

Talk turns to BB and the cameras - how the cameras were all following them during nomination day and how everyone was acting paranoid.

Meanwhile, the pug waits in the patio area appearing to want to come back inside.

Eddie breaks into "Triangle Man" by They Might Be Giants. Brit asks what else do they sing and Eddie says they're like Wierd Al Yankovick (Ed.- musically yes, but not lyrically, which can actually be very serious at times.)

There appears to be no sustained topic of conversation among the HG's with no topic getting anymore than 60 seconds of treatment. For example, Jamie comments that everyone in the house has good smiles, only to be interupted by talk of puzzle pieces by Brit.

Just to add to Lawyerman's post...

When Brit entered the room asking to HGs to notice something different...I thought I heard her say she pooped! (She may have been having problems lately, I heard George mention laxitives)

She seemed really happy about her little bathroom adventure.
