Everyone is deathly quiet. Tension, I guess. I see Eddie, Cass, Josh, George, and Jamie, so Curtis or Brit is in the redroom.

The one time my feed is pretty good, they're stressed out and completely quiet.

Ed: don't let them pressure you.
G: Was there anything you couldn't answer?
J: no.. they hated the way I answered though
E: yeah me too
J: he'd say.. let me get this straight.. your are saying is this.. and I'd say.. No, I didn't say that..
E: they did that to me too.. rephrased things and not get the meaning the same.

Curtis out faster than the first two...Says it wasn't bad.. about like usual.

Brit.. laughing.. had a funny thought about what she's going to say in the RR. I'll tell you guys later after I get their response

Cu: I felt there were people around him feeding him additional questions. They are trying to get honest answers. LIke a depositions.. one guy does the asking but other lawyers around feeding questions.. ask him this.. or that...

Close up of Brit.. just staring into nothing..

<Darn! my sister called!!>

Somehow they've gotten on the subject of female circumcism in Africa and Asia. Cass says she saw it in Africa. Curtis had not heard of this before. Brit and Jamie described some of it. Cass says the girls she saw were around 10 or 12, but she knows there are some as young as 8 that have had it done. (ed: it's a truly cruel and terrible thing)

Helicopter. Everyone runs to the windows to see if it's LAPD. Cass and Eddie keep dancing. Jamie stays on the couch. Everyone else ran outside now. (I'm only on F2, so don't know what's happening outside.)

Cass talks about how female circumcism is part of some cultures and when she was there she learned that it was wrong of her to try and change that and think that she could "save" them or that they even needed that.

Camera switched to outside, zoomed in on the sky over the roof, then back to the patio, then back inside.

(gotta watch Survivor now!)

Ed: Monica's got little feet like you. Brit says its from ballet dancing.
Ja & Cu talking about custom of binding feet in China to get little feet. Curtis grandma had her feet bound for a couple of years until it was outlawed. Women couldn't run away. They couldn't walk.

Cass talking about female circumcision.. Africa.. Asia.. some parts of middle east. They can't get married until they have it. 10-12 years old.. getting ready for marriage at about 14. It's part of the culture and you can't really say its wrong.
Brit says its so women don't enjoy or want sex.

Cass to Jamie: they can't force you to say something you don't want to say.

George out.. NEXT! CU: feel like a grilling?
G: I wonder if that guy was a policeman.

(one hour and four people.. averaging 15 minutes each)

F1+4 show Brit lying down on the couch. Brit, Eddie, Curtis, Cass, Josh in the LR. Eddie sticking her feet in Brit's face, Brit not looking pleased, says "That's gross." but laughs when Eddie tells her to suck the toes. F1 goes outside, Eddie and Cass dancing in the living room. Curtis lying on another couch.

Jo: do you think you could stay in here 3 months by yourself with no contact?
Cass: with a lot of money waiting at the end, yeah?
Jo: with no money... could you? thats a long time to be by yourself

Eddie rubbing Brits feet: Monica, I'd rub your feet too but your so ticklish you'd be kicking me by now.

Brit: Jamies been in there forever...
You will be too
Brit: No I won't
Jo: just don't come out crying
Brit: Don't put pressure on me!

(Heh Max! My brother just called! -ed)
Cass asks Curtis what time it is. Curtis in the kitchen possibly but off camera. Jamie is in the RR right now apparently. Eddie wearing his "Happy B-day" wifebeater. Josh trying to get the pug to lay down.

Cass says she feels for Brit - Eddie teasing her further. Brit says she feels for herself too. Eddie makes a look at Brit, Brit says she hates it when he looks like that. Stop looking at me like that. By request from Josh, Eddie busts out his "sexy looking at a woman across a bar" look (sorry I only have 56k modem, video not too good). Brit laughs, says he would have no chance in hell if she met him in a bar w/a look like that. Brit asks Josh for his sexy bar face, Josh says he looks at the ground. Then he makes apparently a stupid face. Eddie says at least make up a good face like I did. Eddie gives his idea of Brit's sexy bar face, Brit says she totally avoids guys she thinks are cute. More joking around along this line.

George calls from kitchen about toasted bread, Curtis goes over to look.

Eddie: This sucks Cassandra, you know that don't you? (No audible reply) This sucks Brittany. Brit: Yeah. Been there done that.

Eddie: That's kind of insulting that BB thinks I'm lying to them. Eddie says RR said something insulting. Brit takes off on it, RR saying "Don't make me come over there."

George making a joke about toasted bread, Josh jokes, "This isn't cream cheese!"

Eddie says he guesses he has a reputation for not telling anything and everything. Brit says like a tough guy... Ed says no, it's not like I lie, I just keep it to myself. Brit says she always gets that in the RR. Brit starts some other convo. Ed: It's f*ckin stupid if they think we're going to tell them everything. Cass agrees, Josh thinks it's getting a little more intense (in the RR) every day.

Jamie's out, Brit says "How'd it go?" Jamie: Be strong Brit. Eddie: Good luck Brit.

Jamie complaining about how the guy got p*ssed at them.
Jamie: He got mad when I said, what're those things Hitler had,, those firing --
Eddie: Maybe he was Jewish.

Eddie now saying he gave them crap excuses like "he didn't cook well." Jamie says you feel like crap, b/c the public's gonna hate you. Eddie says who cares, I'll tell ppl I nominate these two ppl b/c their hair sucks, or whatever. Let America think I'm an a******, I don't care.

Jamie asked the RR person what his name was, he said "I am Big Brother" and refused to say more. Jamie saying it's tough to talk when you don't have a name.

Jamie: I didn't say a single thing in there that was not truthful, and everything they said was like, that's not good enough.
Cass saying they won't throw Jamie out. Curtis says he's so boring. Jamie says she's disappointed, they're trying to create drama that's not there.

Cass says they're employees, they should love them b/c the HGs are the show. Jamie saying they're angry at the HGs like they're robbing them of a good show. Eddie says RR asked him what he was thinking, he said he didn't think very much, he tried not to think too much in the house cuz he'd go bonkers.

Josh says RR told him they didn't like his focus. Try to use a different focus. He said I never do so you'll have to give me a few minutes. More sympathizing, similar stuff from Josh, Jamie, Eddie. Cass and Josh say don't give them any more. Curtis says give em an inch they'll take a mile.

Eddie remarks: the funny thing is we can say this guy's a d*ckhead right now and he ain't listening to us. All his co-workers are, and they're all laughing saying, "They think he's a d*ckhead!"

Brit is out already, screaming "They were SO easy on me!" He said he just rambled rambled rambled, and the person said ok done. She didn't cry even once. Jamie hugs her.

Now Cassandra goes in. It's now George and Eddie dancing.

Brit: I told them, I know you might think that's not a good enough reason, btu that's my reason. They were okay, and I told them my second person, and said I don't have anything bad to say. They said we're not looking for you to say anything bad. I went thru the other ppl and said I can't nominate this person because, and (etc. etc.) I just said that's how it is. You know?

Ed insulted again they thought he was lying. Josh says he caught himself doing the dance step with his foot.

Brit says he started off by nominating Mega. Funny.

I started off going this person, no, this person, no, I was like sh*t! Can you give me a minute? [...] I changed my votes halfway through.

Cass comes out after maybe five minutes steaming mad. They asked her: Can you confirm that you're not trying to gain some kind of strategic advantage by nominating people that way? She was very insulted. Ed saying he had the same kind of treatment, he said he'd nom himself if he could.

Jamie went into the RR to go yell at them.
Cass: they're supposed to know how we think and everything. I'm so insulted. I'm like, who are they? Argh! But that's cool. That's okay. It's just a reminder. (Another reminder how cool-headed Cass is - she was mad for about a minute -ed.)

Brit joking that for the first 1 1/2 months they have enough Brittany episodes, so they have enough footage of her. She guesses they may use RR footage of her crying last time, this time like on Survivor.

Eddie singing another song with his own lyrics: "Hello Mother, Hello father, Ihave tried marijuana. I tried coke too, crack was better, I'm so f*cked up I couldn't write this letter."

Jamie comes out saying the guy said, "I'm glad you had to add that but you have exceeded your time in the RR." The HGs joke BB got the footage they needed of Jamie already.

Josh (I think) jokes about "Julie butthole Chen". Jamie says they're going to tell them about the live show tomorrow. (So I assume they told them at some point there was no live show today.) Net congestion.

Eddie joking about Julie messing around like last time, when she said, "Josh?" and Josh was like, "Okay, I'm getting the f*ck out of here."

George is fixing dinner. Jamie still in (longest one yet...)
Ed: you know why they went after me. I have a rep for not telling everything. I keep things to myself.. just don't want to tell them everything.

Jo: it's my right to focus on what I want to focus on.
Cass: they're just trying to turn the volume up and see what they can get out of you.
Brit.. How'd it go, Jamie
Jamie.. be strong, Brit
Ja; He got so pissed at me. He got mad at me when I said "what were those things that Hitler had.. missed"
Ja: you feel like your total crap when you walk out.
ed: I'll tell them I voted for X because you can't cook or you don't dress nice.. Let f*in America think I'm shallow.
Ja; I didnt say anything that wasn't truthful and nothing I said was good enough for em. They must hate me now. I feel like you're trying to create drama that isn't here. I feel like they think I'm robbing them of a good show.
Ed: I tell them.. You think too much in here.. you go f*in bonkers. You don't know that unless you're in here.
Ja: I could go on for hours
Jo; You've given them enough.. dont give them any more.
Jamie wanted to know they guys name and he wouldn't tell them
He was very smart.. understands peoples minds..but read into things I didn't say
E: then he isn't that smart.
Ja; what a disaster
Brit.. Out already... That was totally easy.. didn't even come close to crying. (She was out in 5 minutes)

she said: I know you think that's not a good enough reason but that's my reason. SHe said she went through the people in the house.. I can't nominate this person because of this... and this.. and here's who's left. I started out by saying "I nominate Mega" They didn't think that was funny.

G: What did you do all summer.. I was on Ream TV
Cass: Out already.. (she's incensed!) they said "Can you confirm you're not trying to give yourself a strategic advantage by nominating that way?"

Brit.. even if it was... so what?

Cass: I'm so insulted.. totally insulted.. but that's cool.. that's just a reminder..

George says that they asked him that too. about the strategy.

(as soon as Cass came out.. Jamie went back in the RR)

Jamie out..: He said.. I'm glad you added that.. but you've exceeded your time in the RR.

She asked about the show tomorrow.. they said they would tell them tomorrow.

"Hello its Smily F**k face ready to F*k with your minds"

Cu:Cass was out fast!
JO: She kicked ass and got out!

Cass and Jamie talking. Cass: I said YOu guys know me by now.. I'm not going to answer that.
Jamie.. probably shouldn't have said that about Hitler and the firing range.. He's a smart guy... I know what he's doing.

Cu: Its not that bad.. and its always better when its over.. (gives Jamie a big hug)

Ed and Cass .. back dancing outside...
Ed: I'm glad they came after me.
Cass: You know you can handle it so it doesn't matter (Rats! they cut off the feed to Cass.. right in the middle)

Ok Teecee, I think you're still in the LR, so I'm trying to get the other feeds.

Geo. telling Jamie that no matter what happends "the old man's cool" and that she's a good kid.

Jamie in bathroom, Curtis going wee, now Jamie in.

Now it's switched to Brit. She is looking very worried. Telling someone (Eddie or Cameras) Don't look at me! A second of peace please! Fu##ing cameras! As she gets up and walks towards the kitchen, the camera is following her, and she says DONT!

Now in BR w/Jamie crying. Says she feels really bad about who she voted. She dosent' want to talk about it, she's hungry. Jamie says it's not a big deal is just a game.

Cass telling Jamie in girls' room that you know BB is going to be playing mindgames. The point is that, keep your emotions in your pocket, don't show em anything unless you want to, etc. Jamie says right, yeah. Cass continues like this, keep your wits about you etc. Keep in mind what you want to portray. Jamie says she told RR that they were really questioning the editing. Cass says she told them she resented the questions b/c they knew she had talked to Curtis about that (having no strategy, I think). Talking about integrity and such.

Went to F3. Jamie talking again about her Hitler remark. Cass was coming back from the bathroom, now she goes back to go dance again. George telling Jamie, you know it's nothing personal. Just keep going doing (missed it). It's cool. The old man's cool. You're a good kid. Curtis hugs Jamie, says it's always better when it's over. Jamie alone in the bathroom, looks into the mirror, adjusts her hair, waits for Curtis to get out of w/c, now goes in. Curtis out, washes his hands, wipes on towel, comes out to LR again.

Camera zooms in on bottle of perfume (or George's cologne) as Jamie comes ut of the w/c. F3 changes to closeup of Brit looking straight at camera as it moves. (Hi Brit! -ed.) She's got her right hand over her eye as if she's going to cry. Now her face is in her right hand, looking glum as we hear Curtis and Josh laughing in background. She whispers "Sh*t!" to herself. Then "Don't look at me!" at the cameras. does a 'talk to the hand' gesture, "Okay! A second of peace please!" Gets up and walks to the kitchen, whines "Don't!" at the camera as it whirrs to track her. Walks past kitchen, into boys' room, hides under the blanket. Good time to post...

Jamie comes in to comfort Brit. Brit: I feel bad for who I voted. Cuz I changed for who I voted [...] and bloody hell. (sniffling). Brit now says she's hungry, it's time to eat, gets up, Jamie follows her. Brit goes to the bathroom mirror, we see her wiping her eyes as she says, "It's not a big deal, it's just a game." She rejoins Jamie and they go to the kitchen.

F3 now on kitchen table. Curtis across from Jamie, George next to Curtis (across from Brittany), Josh at head of table. Josh asks Brittany if she wants potatoes (I think), Brit says no. Brittany sits down for about ten seconds, stands up and stalks away from table.

F3 Ed talking to Cass, it's all about money after all. I'll nom you fifty f*cking times. Something about "you" taking money away from me. Cass says mmmmhmmm, yeah right, I know.

Cass: It's nice out tonight. I could be walking down Sunset right now, (Ed agrees) chilling out and having dinner. Eddie: I could see being out tonight. Having dinner...having fun! (Cass: yeah!) Another plane flies overhead.

Switching to dinner.

Eddie and Cass dancing outside. Eddie lets out a huge roar, and the dog yips in response. Eddie and Cass thinking about that sign. "Big Brother is worse than you think. Get out now." Remembering reading that sign, then BB saying too late, "Houseguests come into the house." Cass saying it was too late, like with the tennis balls. That stuff was in their hands.

Ed says pretty cool though, at least someone gives a sh*t. Cass agrees. It's good too, cuz it means they're still in the media. Cass says bad press is better than no press.

Ed is sure that word got out about the tennis balls, b/c the next day a bunch of choppers went by. Cass agrees. Ed thinks in the next few weeks, crazy sh*t's gonna happen. Could have ppl throwing sh*t, climbing over walls. Could have someone climbing down the f*cking scaffold right there. Cass is sure ppl will at least try. Eddie thinks by the time BB realizes Oh sh*t we got someone trying to come over the wall, he'll be up over and in. Eddie says they parachute into baseball games, don't they?

Cass: you think this yard is too small to parachute into? Eddie: I seen a dude parachute onto garbage cans. Ed thinks it'd be hard as hell cuz you'd have to angle down, can't just drop in. You'd have to spiral, and there are cameras and stuff. But they could land on the roof and shimmy down. Cass agrees.

Ed: Hey, if you're watching, land on the roof and shimmy down. I'll give you an autograph.

Brit to Jamie in Bathroom.. I feel so bad for voting who i voted. (is she crying?) It's not a big deal.. its just a game...

Now back to ed & cass and they are quiet..Know we missed something there.
Cass: I can see me walking down Sunset.. having Dinner somewhere...
Ed:I can see us leaving tonight.. having dinner about 11 o clock

Cass: We ought to be cool till about 7 tomorrow morning once we lay off here (planning on dancing till 11 pm)

Ed: ROOOOOAAAAAARR!
Pug: Bark
Cass: she doesn't get upset any more

They're laughing about the Big Brother is worse than you think.. get out now.

Thats good.. bad press better than no press..
Ed: Thats Phat
Wouldn't be surprised if more stuff doesn't happen in the next few weeks. Maybe even people climbing over the walls.. parachuting in.. etc.
cass: Is it too small to land in here?
ED: I've seen guys land on garbage can lids.
It'd be hard.. you'd have to angle in.. spiral down.. they could land on the roof and shinny down.

Eddie and Cass talking about schedules. Brit comes outside, gives Eddie some grapes. A plane flies low overhead, pretty loud. Brit talking about schedules as well. Schedule is: Jamie and Curtis from midnight to 3:30, then Brit and Josh from 3:30 to morning. Cass says she's been dancing since 3:30, Eddie's been dancing since 4. Josh and Brit cut in right now so Eddie and Cass can eat.

Josh and Brit don't have cards. Josh: What happened? Brit: nothing. Josh: you went back in there didn't you? Brit says something. complaining about the cameras whirring when she was on the couch. Josh hugs her from behind, sort of rocking her from side to side. They have dance cards on but this is the weirdest dance I've ever seen :) Josh singing a country song softly.

Brit: does it bother you at all? Josh: what? Brit: the nominations? they don't talk much more b/c George cuts in. Josh (French accent): Ohhh this is my man! Now Brit wants to dance for another 30 min., then George can cut in. Then they can dance until 12:30 (when Jamie and Curtis come in). George gives Brit his dance card.

Josh and Brit dancing alone again.
Josh: it's only 3 months, it's not the rest of your lives. and what you do for the rest of your life, it's your character. not who you nominate and everything else.
Brit: I feel mean when I do it.
Josh: but everybody does it.
Brit: I don't like how I feel about myself when I do it.

Brit: I feel like I'm picking two ppl to be a bad friend to.
Josh: My reasoning is very good. My reasoning is not gonna change. It worries me that you changed your mind in there, b/c that means your reasoning is not very stable. When you get out of here, you may want to say "those are good reasons". And that's the end of it.

Brit: b/c every time I have a reason to nom someone, I also have a reason why I can't nom that person.
Josh: so you weigh it out, like a scale.

Another plane flies by.

Josh: If I never get a chance to tell you, when I get out of here when they move me out, I'll miss you.
Brit hugs him, says Me too.
Brit says they probably wouldn't meet after the show would they? Josh says maybe. Someday. Brit says maybe they'll be there until the final three. Josh skeptical.

Yet another plane flies by.

Josh (talking about how the last nom was swung by Karen saying she wanted to leave) this is the way I look at it. One person said she wanted to leave and I STILL got nine percent of the vote.

Josh joking about how "his nation" will be mad at him (for dancing w/a woman I assume). Brit: I love you, you love me...
Josh: we're the best friends we can be with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too.
Josh jokes about knowing the words to the damn Barney song.

Josh: oh sexy bedtime voice it has been bad around here since you've been gone. You have not seen this dance move yet. Let me give you a better angle. Are your colleagues laughing at you? I hope they are.
Brit says she, a woman, is pleased to hear sexy bedtime voice, it's true.

Now they're slow dancing. Brittany telling the story of her first kiss. It was some kind of playground game, like capture the flag but you had to kiss someone to get out of "Jail". She was crying. Josh says his first kiss was in 7th grade...Switching feeds...
