Cass talking about doing her nails as the banishment night is coming up. She says she doesn't really like the way her hair looks right now, not enough body, but that at least its her own fault, no one made her get in the pool or anything.

Curtis is happy about their progress on the puzzle, "Oh Baby, check us out!"

Shot switches to George asleep sitting up in the read chair (ed note, he looks like my Dad in front of the TV at night!)

Good conversation between Curt and Cass:

Cass and Curt working puzzle talking about the race discussion topic last night. Curtis said BB asked him to introduce the topic because BB said he was good at focusing the group.
Cass says it was interesting that they picked the topic. She talks about not being hard core on race issues, and while she does have her opinions she doesn't want to come across or represented as being of closed-minded, which she isn't . (She continues talking about trying to balance her views as well as respecting others HG while living in the same house...I'm missing a lot, not doing her words justice here)
Curt asked about Mega.
Cass talks about Mega's "chip on his shoulder" brought about being a young black man in America, living in Philly. She says that it is a shame that he didn't get to the point where he wanted to know about other HGs, e.g., living in MN, or George's community.
Curt: Did you know [that George's community is ethnically diverse]?
Cass: He told me earlier.

Curt says it's interesting how BB goes from light to heavy topics such as the race disucssion.
Cass reminds Curt of earlier race discussion between Mega and Britt and how heated it was.

Cass : "Producers have to understand that any time you set us up to give personal views on racial stereotypes right before a nomination, you are giving opportunity to getting us (Cass and Curt) X-ed from the scene."

Both Cass and Curt are unsure of the vote on Thurs, they both feel it could be them.
Cass: "Maybe it would help to be someone less controversial"
They are trying to figure out the motives/thoughts of Brittany and George's fan base.
(Editorial: Great conversation, I apologize for not doing better on this, in any event, they are coming across as being very thoughtful, at least to my ears...)

Now conversation devolves into puzzle talk.
Back to race issue:
They talk about getting on the show.
Cass: I guess I should be counting my lucky stars that I was put on this show. Most blacks on tv now are on UPN.
Curt says he understands and was surprised at lack of Asians at finals [BB].

Curt asks about opportunities for women versus AA [to get on BB?]. Cass says women have a better chance. Cass is now talking about a potential HG, that didn't make it, a black woman who was "raunchy" and that Cass is happy for black folks that she didn't make it. laughter...

Cass is gonna do her nails for an hour tonight, and decompress before the banishment show.
Curtis: "We're all fans of your hair"

Whew...

Brit- "YAY! You had a good dream! I am so proud of you." She claps as she and Josh lie abed together. They get quiet and appear to be falling back asleep, then Brit says, "People have nightmares when they eat before they go to bed. That's what Eddie says. It's like the stuff in your stomach."
Josh, "It's funny how when you are here you can think about the outside world and get a different perspective. You have nothing but time to think a lot." Brit mumbling something.
Josh says, "You only think about the things you really want and really need." He talks about feeling like he knew the people in his dream even though he doesn't know them in real life. Brit tells Josh that the people in the kitchen got further on the puzzle and organized everything. She tells Josh that Eddie tries to force pieces to fit that don't go where they should.

Brit and Josh are seriously cuddling. Touching each others faces, stroking hair, occasion tickling. Bad angles, so I really wouldn't be able to tell if they had kissed unless they made a lot of kissing noises (arms are in the way of head shot). B:"I'm glad you had a good dream...I could lay here all day and do nothing"
J:"I could lay here all day and do one thing!"
B:"Me too"
J:"No you couldn't"
B:"Oh a lesser one thing..."

Eddie joined others working on puzzle

B&J continue their flirting, then start commenting on Josh's rumbling tummy (which I think I can hear through his mic!).

(I can't take their flirting anymore and no other intersting conversations going on, so I'm taking a break)

Brittany and Josh are cuddling and indulging-slash-repressing their sexual urges. Josh's stomach is growling, perhaps urging him to (finally) make his move. Brittany is wrapping her arms around him and she asks him "What is going on inside of you?" (w/r/t his stomach, not his feelings).

These two are doing everything one would expect two people in love to do in bed, except you know, kissing or anything sexual (!?). Josh is on his stomach and has an arm around Brittany, who is lying next to him and encircling his arm with hers, stroking his biceps. They are silent for long periods of time, and it's hard not to feel like the closet door we're all hiding behind might creak and give us away.

Josh's stomach continues to make the most interesting conversation in the room, and Josh says "Ok, Ok, I'll feed you", but does not move.

They coo to each other. Brittany pets Josh's body and mutters "Ooh--those muscles!". They lay their heads on each other. They talk about getting booted out of the house in a couple days. Brittany says that BB definitely has to give whoever gets it a parting gift of some kind.

In a radical new conversation topic, Brittany says she wouldn't mind being in third place and getting 50K. Josh says even the $350.00 a week is fine with him. He says it's nice even to be living in a place like this rent-free for the summer.

Brittany describes the process of checking the references of one of her tenants (she owns and/or runs an apartment building in Minnesota). She clarifies that she doesn't rent to friends, and tells of two of her friends whom she refused. Their rent was 900/week (seems kinda high for minneapolis, yeah?--but i digress).

Josh re-tells the dream (I'll spare you--see Mysteri & Rperlow's descriptions above) to Curtis, George, Eddie, and Cassandra, now that he and Brittany have finally gotten out of bed. He goes into excruciating detail. It's all very complicated and surreal. He spends no less than TEN minutes reciting it.

Eddie starts to talk about his dream, but BB rudely interrupts and tells Josh to replace his batteries. He starts again, saying that his dream was about sitting at the kitchen table at home in Long Island, reading a newspaper about a teacher of his, and BB interrupts again and tells Josh to DO IT NOW. Eddie waits til Josh gets back and starts again.

The teacher in the newspaper was giving skating lessons in a tennis court, and Eddie spots Monica. He goes over to her (he's on a bike), and he goes (bam) forward in time and he's in a National Park buying Monica a Diet Coke.

They go home to Eddie's family's house and he lies to his mom about being stuck in traffic. And that's it. (Somebody get me some Xanax)

Jamie comes in, after napping. The HG's sit around the kitchen table and putter with the puzzle pieces.

Everyone concentrates really hard on the puzzle (and the ratings are low *why*?) and Curtis works on the top of Will Mega's head. Long periods of silence. I'll post more when something happens.

Working at the puzzle, Josh gets up and goes outside.

Britt: We just made out! No one saw us. He's such a good kisser.

Follows a discussion between Brittany and Eddie about whether she's a good kisser or not. Brittany believes she is.

Josh is outside telling the dream to the only person in North America not to have heard it yet: Jamie--who was asleep during the first six tellings.

While Curtis and the gang work on the puzzle indoors, Brittany has donned glasses. Gold wire-rims. This is a new look for her.

Switching to inside feed only.

Eddie asks Brittany if she's a good kisser. She says she's the best kisser ever, because she gets so into it. Cassandra says "I'll just work on the puzzle," wanting no part of this conversation.

BB tells Brittany to move her mic up, so no one misses a word about Brittany's alleged intimate activity.

Eddie talks to Cassandra in a funny voice, and she ignores him. He tells Brittany that Maya Angelou is going to come after her with a baseball bat.

Brittany says Monica doesn't exist--that Eddie just paid someone to let her take pictures with Eddie and that he doesn't even have a girlfriend. Eddie replies that Monica will kick the sh*t out of Brittany when she gets out. Brittany asks why, and Eddie says Monica is "insane jealous" and that she'll kill Brittany for cuddling with Eddie once. Brittany protests that Eddie was the one who started with all the backrubs. Eddie says it doesn't matter--Brittany's dead (they're joking).

Eddie sings Bon Jovi.

Brittany and Eddie chant the lyrics to Beck's 'Loser'. They know it really well. Like every word.

Brittany muses "isn't it weird that we live in a house and it's filled with cameras and microphones?" Everyone goes "Uh-huh." Seems that's been covered.

An airplane goes by outside and the HG's all rush out to see if there's any message trailing behind it. There's not. Eddie tells George "It says 'George Sucks.'"

Cassandra gets up to fix herself a hotdog. Brittany wants more hamburger.

Outside, Curtis and the pug play tug of war. I am left to my own devices by net congestion. Curtis tells Josh to watch out while he's watering the garden, because there's a hidden mic down there in the plants.

"Down there?" Jamie asks, nervously.

"Yup," answers Curtis. "You didn't know that?"

Jamie shakes her head no.

Josh asks for someone to interpret his dream. So I'm switching feeds.

Inside, Eddie is giving Jamie a backrub. Jamie tells Cassandra that if she wants a backrub from a girl, to let her know. Eddie fusses, and Cassandra tells him to be nice.

Curtis comes in and says he's really tired of doing the puzzle. Jamie tells him that he should rest, since he's been at it all day.

It's a grey, cloudy day outside and the HGs have commented that they're all feeling pretty low-key and out of it.

The puzzle makes the dance marathon look like a night on the strip in Vegas. There is nothing going on.

I'll try to write more tomorrow, if there's any action.

Roll call! All cams in kitchen. Eddie's at the sink on F1, Jamie's next to him on F2, George walking about doing miscellaneous stuff. F3 and F4 focus in on Brit sitting down, Cassandra standing up by dinner table, both of them are doing the puzzle. (Curtis or Josh might be there as well, as my video is bad, but I can't see or hear either one.) Eddie's singing some repetitive lyric, sounds sort of like "roll over roll over roll over". Brit is accusing George of saying something sexual, George denies it. Brit saying "did you have emotions George? well in some circles it would be called that." George jokes at starting an infomercial, "Males at home, are you having problems?" Brit and Jamie continue to loudly make fun of George, George laughing and going along. (Ok, Josh is also sitting down doing the puzzle, but not really talking or paying attention to George/Brit other than laughing sometimes.)

George - the chicken must go back into his coop.
Brit - get away from the chickens, George! We already had this discussion!

(Sorry, no real idea what this convo is about -ed.)

Switched to F4 to get a better picture. Don't see Eddie anymore, it's Cassandra and Jamie standing Josh and Brit sitting around kitchen table helping on puzzle.

Brit (in Britspeak, yelling at puzzle pieces) - why won't you fit?!? Fit in there! (commenting ironically in a different voice) Because yelling at them will make them fit better.

(From my very poor video), it appears that they've filled out a large portion of the outline. Jamie's just put together part of Josh, Cass agrees that they found his chin.

Jamie stands at the head of the table, fists on hips, studying their progress. Now she comes back over to continue working. F3 switches to Pugita on the floor for a moment. (Brit is wearing tan - maybe blue - overalls over a red t-shirt, if anyone's interested.) George continues to putter around the kitchen, now comes over to see if anything's going on.

The (thrilling) puzzle action continues...still no sign of Eddie or Curtis, as all four cams stay in the kitchen with Brit, Jamie, Josh, Cass working (George is cooking), and conversation stays on the topic of the puzzle. (Sorry to editorialize, but this is much more boring than the dance challenge even...will update if a conversation breaks out, or a feed switches cams to someone else)

Ok, missed what exactly he said, but Eddie just walked thru saying something along the lines of he just went into the RR and they said they were going to work on a camera out in the kitchen (perhaps a cam is busted), so 'keep that in mind'. (Not really sure this is accurate -ed.) George mentioned something along the lines of he might have to go RR too at some point. I believe Eddie then walked outside.

Cassandra, Brittany(with black hair now), and Josh are tediously working on the puzzle while Chiquita barks at them. George and Jamie are doing the dishes. Eddie enters the room to announce that Big Brother needs to repair a camera and may put the houseguests in the bedroom for awhile. George says that he should do his daily talk with the Red Room before they do that.
Brittany is getting frustrated with the puzzle. She says the pieces are confusingly simular. Brittany says "I hate it when you think the piece is going to fit, and it doesn't. I keep trying to force it in!" Josh cracks a joke under his breath and laughs. Brittany asks what did he say, and Josh doesn't tell her.

Cass saying someone's from Ireland, and they have a dialect called Gaelic over there, don't they? (talking about some musician apparently) says Josh and Brit have probably heard her music. Eddie walks through again from outside, singing something in a low voice.

Eddie now inside also helping with the puzzle. F1+2 are focused on a chair leg and the kitchen sink respectively (seriously). Don't see George anymore, still no sign of Curtis.

Everyone but George and Curtis still in kitchen working on puzzle. Josh and Jamie working on the part with the people, they've identified Karen, Jordan, and Mega. George is still left (to do, apparently). Josh and Eddie unenthusiastically singing some song, "Smile" (?) and the singing peters out shortly.

Now Brit and Eddie singing "Iko Iko", knowing only bits and pieces of the lyrics though...

Eddie's plan is to grab all the pink pieces and put them against the white background, to make it easier for someone (color-blind George presumably, but he didn't reply)

Eddie enters the kitchen again. Chiquita is diligently observing Josh while standing on her two hind legs and leaning her front paws on his thigh. Eddie begins to taunt the houseguests while they work on the puzzle. The puzzle seems to be a group picture of the houseguests on the first day of the Big Brother show. Eddie says he doesn't even want to see what his face will look like on the puzzle. He and Brittany start singing. Now only Cassandra and Brittany are the only ones working on the puzzle.
Eddie comes up with an idea to make the puzzle a little easier, buy laying it on top of something other than the table, he thens tries to figure out what object he can lay it on.
Eddie forgets part of the song, and so does Brittany. Brittany asks Eddie why he can't remember, and he says "I don't know, but I am good at one thing though, the reproduction process!" No one laughs. Curtis enters the room.

Brit asks Eddie why he knows that song ("Iko Iko"), he says he learned it when he was younger. Brit asks why she knows it. (I ask why *I* know it -ed.)

Brit says "are you good for anything?" Eddie says "I'm good for one thing, baby" but then goes "Curtissssss" as Curtis has entered the scene. He comes over to Eddie's side of the kitchen table and starts helping out. (Josh is sitting by himself with a section of puzzle pieces, Jamie's at the kitchen sink, Cass and Brit at one end of the table, Curtis and Eddie standing next to Brit.)

Cass comments that they have most of the borders now? Brit starts with her Britspeak "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Eddie and Curtis start making "pughole" jokes, Brit says "Okay - that's a place I prefer *not* to go??"
