Now Cass, Brit, Curtis yelling at Chiquita to get out of the trash. Jamie says she was trying to lie in it, not eat it. Net congestion. Brit again says she's buzzed, she's such a lightweight. Curtis says her hair's getting lighter. Brit says she'll dye it again in two weeks, probably black - need to deposit stuff. Her hair is shredded and needs a rest. Brit says there's still some blue dye left, she can do George's hair again. George laughs but doesn't say either way.

Conversational lull. Cass says the last show is on 30 September. Brit gets up, goes inside. Curtis wants to start his Guinness, George offers to get it instead. He's getting his too. (So Brit drank hers, Jamie MAY be drinking, Cass isn't, the men are now getting their beers.) Josh is done, ready to drink his single can of Guinness. More lull...

Cass talking about how George has a special cup, Jamie says it was a champagne glass at first, now it's a different one. Some talk about wine for the ladies? Jamie says she's tired tonight.

Josh or George talking about the back door about Rolling Stones, AC/DC, something. Brit is back by the pool. Now more fake annoying awed Brit-voice, "You're so strong! You tore that hole right in the top of that can! Curtis you're so strong! How do you do that?" Now just laughing. Josh is outside with a chair, sits down. Brit says the cap-things have pricker-things on them (sic). Cass says she has a taste for Bailey's Irish Cream. The others mmmmmm in unison. Brit asks Cass if she likes Iron Butterfly - Bailey's + Kahlua+ice, it's sooo goood. Now she has to tell Josh and Curtis about Iron Butterfly. Curtis says he likes Guinness. Brit making a joke about liking $15 kegs. They can see George talking to the camera, Brit says he always talks to the camera. (Ohhh yes he does -ed.) Now George is also outside with beer.

They're talking about Coors Party Balls! Huge! Brit was able to get discounts at a hotel chain, and she could get Party Balls under her grandparents' name, wrap them up and rent a hotel room. Now she's talking about how she gets cheaper rates using her Corporate Amex over her personal Amex. She likes Discover. George also talks about trouble.

Cass likes Amex with its 1 frequent-flyer mile/$1 spent. Endorsement alert - Cass flies Delta all the time. She took a freq-flyer mile voucher to Asia last year. Brit now talking about getting bumped from flights on purpose to get coupons. Curtis says he racks up big money by getting bumped from NY-LA flights. Brit got bumped, got $500 and arrived four hours later. Curtis says he flew a lot when he was w/a private law firm. Fun for him to travel alone, well w/business partners. Endorsement - Brit goes to CyberSavers at nwa.com. Get a flight for Saturday on midnite Wed. nite, fly anywhere for $99. (Brit is trying SO HARD to dominate this convo -ed.)

Curtis didn't know how expensive cashmere sweaters were until he went to exchange one. Brit likes cashmere. George has a story. "Typical George story" he calls it. Someone had a cashmere coat, a SHARP COAT (his words). He wore it all winter, and put it in the closet. He went in to get it the next winter, stuck his hand in and could feel paper in there. He could stick his hand all the way thru the coat. He had left a candy bar in the pocket, and a mouse had eaten thru the coat! He did get it fixed, but he lives out in the country and they have mice. More George about how the cashmere must have tasted. Cass: "they're nasty animals."

Brit with another story - her grandpa bought her grandma a nice mink coat. The next year, she comes out with a mink coat. Her grandma has no concept of how expensive things are. She gets incoherent - couldn't understand - apparently she cut up a mink coat cuz she didn't know it was expensive. Cass says in NYC, you can see women with jeans, T-shirts tennis shoes, but a mink coat over it.

Brit again about how her grandma has never paid a bill in her life, never even put gas in her car. Cass raises the issue of what if one of Brit's grandparents go, Brit says they don't want to talk about it. She says another grandparent was demented and eventually had to go to a home. Cass says her grandmother died, and her mother and siblings had no idea what to do. Financial stuff and burial, etc. Her grandfather didn't cook, do laundry, they had to figure everything out. Brit talking more about her parents preparing in case they die. Curtis says his parents have set up trusts, have their wills, etc. It's weird but you have to do that at a certain age. Cass thinks roles start changing as you get older.

Cass says her mom doesn't understand the Internet. She calls Cass's sister and says she wants to go to Florida, and she buys the ticket and sends it to her. Brit had to get a safety deposit box.

Here is a complete transcript of Jamie's comments:


Ok, now Curtis saying it was weird talking to his parents and telling them about his life - his bank accts., PIN numbers, stuff that has to be done. Josh with a comment about buying socks or something. Brit gave her parents a binder - she calls herself Binder Lady. She organizes all her bills and receipts, stocks and investments, etc. in binders.

Holy crap Jamie has a comment. Verbatim: "I have a lot of files." Curtis and Brit run with it, Curtis files everything. Like his Big Brother file which started out small and got really big.

George says they told him to have a lawyer look at the agreement before he signed it. He said can he take it back? and they said he couldn't be on the show if he didn't sign it. So he signed it on the spot. Cass expresses shock. Curtis says there were mistakes in the document. Some boring legalisms. Jamie comments! Says you basically didn't have a choice in signing it. Cass says she saw an entertainment lawyer who could tell her how bad it could get. George asks how bad could it get? Cass says the lawyer didn't want her to sign it. He felt that CBS would basically own her for too long. If someone came along with an offer, she would be stuck if CBS didn't go along with it. Brit asks doesn't CBS have to match the offer in 4 or 5 days. Curtis says basically CBS can pay them crap not to take any offers. Cass hopes to work with the lawyer later on if anything comes out. But her point is if you do become a name, you might miss out on some things, it's a tradeoff. The lawyer had a whole list of changes to the document, before he would advise her to sign it. CBS wouldn't make any changes. She basically had <24 hrs. to work it out. Jamie sent it to a lawyer at work, she figured she could sign it and then come to finals. Brit wanted them to sign it and get her a copy, before she quit her job so she could be assured. They couldn't do it for her. Really stressed her out.

Brit says someone was doing a background check on her for BB. She got him on the phone and b*tched him out. He told her it had something to do with her, and she understood.

George asking a legal question - suppose someone has an offer for $20k. Curtis says CBS can exercise in 4-5 days a one-year retainer and basically own their personality for either $10k or some fair amt., whichever is less. Brit points out w/o the show you wouldn't be getting any options. Curtis guesses they probably wouldn't do it unless you were so huge you were getting lots of offers. Like a talk show host offer from NBC. Then CBS would try to match it. Brit thinks like that's even going to happen. Curtis says they have until the end of the year, that's pretty much when your 15 minutes of fame end. Curtis didn't think it was a big deal b/c he had serious doubts that he would be a big celebrity and really bound by the agreement.

Cass talking about medical parts of the agreement. Medical info could be shared w/the other HGs as necessary for your safety. Like a diabetic. George thinks they wouldn't let someone like that on there. Josh points out the Real World had an HIV+ guy. ***Brit says she's surprised nobody checked to see if she was a virgin!*** She apparently didn't tell anyone until she was in finals (amazing she kept shut that long - ed.) Josh thinks, "they probably considered that an added bonus."

Josh didn't tell them he talks in his sleep. Curtis points out again he didn't mention his dog allergies. They said he was basically stuck with it.

The pug charges the camera on the pole again, barking. Actually whimpering at one point. Brit and Jamie getting up to give Chiquita her medicine.

Josh puts another shirt on, mentioning it's chilly outside. Now Cass and Curtis talking about something, Cass muffled.

Convo peters out. Curtis, Josh, George trailing toes in the water. Cass sitting alone on other side of pool. (Jamie and Brit presumably inside giving dog medicine.) Cass says it would be great if they had something to warm up the pool? josh says they could ask BB for a shower curtain that goes inside so the floor doesn't get all wet and flooded.

George asks why would CBS want to do another BB, b/c they've pretty much covered all the bases and the next ppl coming in would know so much more. Josh points out they would change the house, the challenges, the people. Curtis thinks any group of ten ppl is going to be different. George: Good point. Curtis: they can also change the city on the Real World, but in this show you can really only change the house. since the show is all about the house. Cass thinks if the house was tiny and gray, they would be all different. Josh bets they have closeup cameras on the internet. Curtis saw previews of the house on ET and didn't understand what it was like. Curtis thought the pool looked smaller on ET (looks small on the feeds too, maybe I need a bigger monitor -ed.)

Josh says they day they came to LA, he hung out in the hotel pool all day long. Cass says she was out there too for a while. Josh says he saw Mega at the pool, he looked at Josh funny as if recognizing him. Not sure if Mega knew him or not. He had said something to him when they were in a room for physical exams. Then Josh walked into another room and saw Eddie. (Amusing how these ppl aren't _really_ strangers, wonder how those initial impressions set the stage -ed.)

Brit now back outside. Talking animatedly about a trampoline-like thing. As you walk the ground springs back up at you. A bog? She took field trips to a BOG? Must be a Minnesota thing. She can't believe nobody else has been to a bog. C&C point out there are no bogs near NY. Brit wants to take them all to a bog.

Curtis wants to road trip. Brit says all her friends, the men actually ask her to take part in road trips. Jamie says something, but it is lost to posterity. Brit says she's getting the lawyer to steal gas. Curtis says Brit will be the Halle Berry of road trips. Brit says they have to steal gas, grab sandwiches from Subway, she has a kick-@$$ cooler that holds ice for five days in 90-degree heat. Josh thinks they need a motor home. Brit declares, "I am road trip." Josh: "Ohhh-kay."

Curtis thinks the timing is going to be weird, with some of them being famous, Brit says who cares they'll do it. Brit wants to stay at a truck stop. They have to stay at a youth hostel. She can't believe they've never stayed at one. Josh, Curtis say for a good reason! Brit: Can you believe, we're such different people, and we're all here together. It's like so weird. Curtis thinks they would hit it off if they met at work or school or wherever, Josh says if given the time. Brit - can't - wait - to go on a road trip. Brit says the best thing about road trips is being able to switch drivers w/o pulling over - putting it on cruise, moving legs etc. Can't pull over, you lose time! Brit trying to tell a story about one time she was trying to switch over from the back seat to the driver's seat, doing 85 on the highway. Josh says he did SF - LA in five hrs. (Took me 5 1/2 but my friend had to pee break twice -ed.)

George back, says Ed was sleeping. Curtis thinks snoring usually keeps Ed awake. George thinks Ed will wake up at 2am. Brit proposes a road trip - crash at other people's houses and eat steaks. BB asks George to put his microphone on.

Brit wants to go to Canada. Cass says they can crash at her place at the start and finish. Curtis jokes, for no more than two nights. Cass mentions Vegas, maybe she'll go there? Curtis and George joking about the interstates from Vegas to NY - since they know them so well.

Brit talks about Chinese fire drills on a road trip. Everyone gets out of the car and gets back in at red lights. Curtis says they did that in high school - he left them behind a decade ago. But now he is a big adult. Brit saying ppl get out of windows and get on the hood and stuff. Josh telling a story about some girl in HS getting stopped by police by the school for doing that.

Brit says some friend had a Mazda Protege, w/a brand new car she slammed on the gas and brakes at the same time. Messed it up pretty bad. Brit wants to go dancing (Curtis up for that), or boating (George up for that). George wants karaoke - Curtis thinks it would be funny - Cass thinks it could be really scary if BB made them do karaoke. (Once again I agree with Cass -ed.)

Curtis wants the boxing ring. Sumo wrestling was cool but too short. Boxing could go on forever. Josh says you can't even hurt each other. Brit wants to do the worm! Josh asks what's the worm.

Brit thinks it's going to be great to get out of there. Net congestion.

Tune in again to Jamie saying wouldn't it be weird if there was news like Brittany and Curtis in a hotel room doing whatever. Cass thinks there wouldn't be gossip about each other as much as their friends gossiping about them. Brit worrying about ppl interviewing her friends for dirt on her. Cass says surely not if you asked them to keep quiet, Brit says are you kidding? Cass: I guess that's your friends.

George and Curtis like the beer. Brit asks if they feel buzzed, the guys all say they're relaxed. All take sips - they're drinking from the can.

Brit fantasizing about popcorn and a movie. BB loudspeaker comes on, they want Brit to adjust her mic. Josh wants to go camping. C&C not keen on that, George would go with him. Curtis not a big fan of freezing his @$$ off. Brit joking about getting a tent and sharing a Love Bed.

Cass says as a young'un she hung out on the beach and stuff a lot, now she has no desire to do the camping thing again and rough it. Cass: I'm just like -- Curtis: f*ck it. Brit wants to camp on road trip, Jamie agrees. Curtis makes a face. Cass says he can just stay at a hotel and the others pick him up in the morning.

Curtis does point out that part of the purpose of the road trip is to get his stuff to his new place. Talk of renting a U-Haul...Cass says she would join them in Vegas, and house them in NY, but would not road trip with them. So apparently their idea is NY - Minneapolis - Vegas - SF - maybe back to NY? (I'm sure others want to carry on with this terribly interesting convo...g'nite...-ed.)

Brit is giving Curtis a massage in the gals room. When I came into the conversation, Curtis was saying that the thing he didn't like was that she Karen) nominated him for the people he associated with (Mega & Jordan).
Brit says she'll talk more about that on their road trip. Then, Brit tells an accident story where she had a bruised neck. She got a settlement check from the accident that she invested. Curtis asked what she's invested in, and she tells him. Curtis said he's got stock in AOL.
Brit ended the massage. Now they are talking about where the dog is going to go afterwards. And how much the dog likes Josh.
Curtis asked if she thought that she would have lasted this long in the show. Brit said that she thought all along she would be one of the last ones out. People either like her alot or dislike her. She thinks if she gets nominated she'll be banished.
Jamie stops by.
Curtis still has a crick on his neck and Brit started the massage again. Curtis believes that it was Mega who gave Eddie the massage, and that the hopping around was Mega making fun of Eddie.
Brit & Curtis leave the room.

Everyone but George & Josh moved to the couch area. Both Brit & Cass went to brush their teeth, the camera followed along with them. I'm changing feeds cause they are brushing and not talking.
Outside Josh is telling George that he is the quiet one in his family. George says his daughter is quiet in the house, but not really quiet. She just doesn't want to tell her parents things.

George says 'this here is a neat things for me.' Josh says 'its getting better and better. No arguments anymore.
George 'Sloshy, it took true spirit the way you handled the nomination.'
Josh 'What else was I to do? Cry me a river?'
Josh 'One of these days, I'll tell you my life's story. But the people out there in the world have their side and don't have a voice. So they could be hurt. So one of these days'
George 'Well, Slosh, it's only six weeks'
Josh 'I hope my sister brings money when she comes to pick me up. If BB doesn't give me a check when I get out of here, she's going to have to cover dinner.'
George 'Well, if we still had that $100, I'd say, here, you can have it'
Josh 'When I checked into the hotel for this, they asked me for a credit card, I gave them the one I carried around and they told me that it expired. They let me in anyway because I had a reservation.'
Josh 'I'm going to eat a big meal before I leave here!'

Finally got my system back and I am treated to George in the bathroom brushing his teeth--switching feeds
Came into the middle of the conversation in the couch area. Before I could understand what they were talking about, Cass was leaving to go to bed and the others are talking about heading into the cave themselves. George is saying when he was a kid he ate a green banana before going to bed. 'OOOOOOh Maaaaan', he moans.
BB gave notice that it's now bedtime.

Brittney is sad. She is concerned of the fact she is not getting her pictures and her great distrust in big brother. She is not allowed to talk or express her real self to the girls or the house.
BB promised things and basically made fools of them because of the roast and line up of people in challenges (george).
Cassandra is trying to set it all iinto reason. Telling Brit that she should go into the RR and ask for her pictures. Because Karen and George both received favors from RR.
Jamie just stated that a guy in the red room told her only children can write into the HGs. Cass is saying she is going to ask about that tommorrow. That is wrong.
Brit is feeling closed off. Jamie feels a closed off - yes and no - the Eddie thing is something she worries about. Plus they do not really ask her questions in the RR.
Brit is upset about being in the RR and the guy asked her about Curtis and Eddie..do you think that one of them have feelings for her...how can I be sure? How do they know...?
Oh maybe someone in the RR disclosed something another said.
Brit - I am kind of worried about karen..she gets emotional and vocal about her Josh thing.She is worried what Karen said in the Red Room about it. She forgets the story and does not know the facts..

Cass - Maybe they do not think this is real. They do not realize that their choices have a real big impact in our lives.

Brit - yeah totally. It sucks to feel like you don't matter.

Jamie - you should know brit that they have 10 times the amount of stuff on you. there is an entertainment value. For all of us.

Cass- they do not want to show us we matter. They are BB they show know emotion. In the RR is part of the game.

Jamie - its alot like the military where they break you down..in terms of the things they do..

Buffering....

Brit - RR expected me to be emotional about the question "Do you know who nominated you". I don;t care...carry on.

Cass - do you think they set Karen up?

Brit - she was already emotional

Cass - I did not realize they did the seed planting stuff

Brit - what upset me - they asked me questions about Jamie...it was kind of weird...how do I feel about her. Glad we met , nice person...kind of weird. I was supposed to be betrayed that you nominated me...

Talking about how what Karen said in the RR was broadcast to the house...(?)

It must have been hard for her in the last week.

Brit. I do not know...I feel that this is a struggle...just to be..its weird....talking about the coming week...who is getting nominated...she is going to have diarhea on Tuesday.

Cass- we are not going to take the nomination personal.

Jamie - no one asked me to be nominated....

Brit - me too.

Cass - you cannot have diarhea every tuesday...lol

We are not going to cry, we are going to make it hard on the other people. We cannot be normal in the situation. If someone starts acting weird we promised as a group that we are not going to do that. We will sit down and say get your act together.

Sieron, during the part where you had buffering, Jamie was stating that she was so disappointed that a women has never won a BB. Cass, said she agrees and also said that she told Eddie that she thought it would be great if at least one female was in the final three.
Jamie also said it would be weird if both Josh & Eddie were nominated, because they were so similiar and they were the ones who are considered to be the love interests in the house.

(interesting stuff!)

Hope Sieron (or someone who was listening) can confirm two posts ago - did Brit actually TELL Cass that she KNEW that Cass nom'd her???

(Sorry for the pure ed. post but that stands out as something that screams for clarification!)

TeeCee, No she did not say that. What happen was the redrum kept asking Brit if she knew who nominated her and she kept telling them no. That she couldn't feel betrayed by anyone who nominated her because everyone had to nominate two people.

Also, the point about Karen broadcasting into the house, was that Cass & Jamie was upset they let Karen talk to them and let them know she (Karen) was told who nominated her and that Karen broadcasted that back to everyone in the house.
