As George writes something down with his Qtip in the cave trying to think of his answers, BB scares him and scolds him for what she (BB) thinks is a pencil. "George, please put down the pencil right now," she says.

George says, "It's a Qtip," and that it's legal. BB seems to ignore him as he puts the Qtip away anyway.

(Ed - What a b*tch she is tonight!)

BB reminds everyone to not discuss what they say in the RR about this challenge. BB instructs the HG's to return to the location in the house where they have been assigned to "think about their answers" after they have finished giving their answers in the RR. BB gives them a one minute warning.

The house is silent, everyone thinking about their 5 reasons. Suddenly, BB says George's name, he jumps, saying Oh! He has been busted. BB tells him to put the pad and pencil down. He says it's a Q-tip. She tells him to put it down. He says, "OK, it was a Q-tip though." After that, the feeds are silent again.

Jamie is thinking, pacing in the backyard. Cass is on the couch, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, and a blue blanket over that. George is in the men's bedroom. Eddie's in the bathroom.

BB says that they will be called in one at a time, when they are finished in the RR, they need to silently go back to their assigned place. No talking.

BB makes George move to the other bed an put down his "pencil" (Q-tip and hair dye). He complies, but argues that it's legal the whole time.

Cameraman

BB announces that she will be calling each of the HG in one by one to the red room for their answers.

BB- Houseguests your 10 min are up Please assemble in the LR.

Instructs them not to talk to each other in the LR (twice)

She is letting Eddie put on some pants.

BB instructs them all to fix/put on mics. (she sounds SO annoyed -ed.)

BB announces that the ten minutes are up and all HG must assemble in the LR. Eddie asks BB if he can get dressed. (He was in the middle of taking a shower when BB gave the challenge.) BB does not respond to his request and Eddie says something like, "You're really being a d*ck about this Mrs. S." (Ed - I agree.) After some pause, BB tells Eddie that if he wants to put on some pants that he can do so. The rest of the HG sit quietly in the LR as BB reminds them not to discuss this challenge. In fact, BB asks them not to talk at all. Eddie returns.

BB says that the HG's must decide in which order each HG will enter the RR to give his/her answers. Eddie goes first. Someone comments, "This is wierd." BB asks the HG's in the LR to return to their assigned rooms.

(Ed - BB is an evil b*tch tonight! Attitude problem.)

Ok, I can help out for a while.
Everyone is thinking about their reasons, sitting in their assigned places, except Jamie, who has been pacing during the entire ten minutes. BB just informed them they have one more minute... the minute is up, but I haven't seen anyone move...
(Using f7)
Okay, time is up, Eddie askes if he can get dressed... really hard to understand (female) BB voice, it seems overamplified... tells everyone to go to the LR, but not to speak to each other...BB tells them to go in by mic order... first person went in, (missed who, either eddie or josh). BB tells them to go back to their individual places again.

Eddie exits the RR. He walks by Cass in the LR, then Curtis in the dining room. Eddie makes a comment (inaudible) to Curtis and Curtis laughs. BB announces yet again over the loud speakers that they must not talk during this exercise. Eddie returns to the bathroom to wait. BB calls Josh into the RR.

After about two minutes, Josh exits the RR. He walks by Cass in the LR, then Curtis in the DR. Curtis gets up to go to the RR. Curtis waits near the RR door and BB tells Cutris that George is next. Curtis disagrees with BB about who's next. Curtis asks BB, "Do you want me to tell George he's next? Or I won't if you wond't want me to." BB says absolutely nothing to Curtis. (B*tch!!!) Curtis goes to the cave and tells George that he (George) is next and then it's his turn. George goes to the RR and Curtis returns to the DR.

Josh goes into red room. George after. Curtis to follow. Since they are not allowed to talk you can expect 15 minutes of silence here. You have not gone deaf nor are you missing anything.

George exits the RR and BB summons Cassandra into the RR. Curtis says, "I thought we were going in order?" Cass responds, "I know. What's up with that?" Cass goes into the RR. All HG's sit quietly in their assigned rooms/areas of the house. Average time in the RR for each HG is running about 2 minutes.

Cass exits the RR after about two minutes. Jamie comes in from outside and presses the RR "buzzer". She enters. No one is talking. Curtis is sipping something - coffee perhaps on F3/F4. F1 is a shot of thr RR door. F2 is a shot of the LR with Cass.

When it was Curtis' turn, BB came on and said Curtis, would you let George go next. Curtis said it was supposed to be his turn but it is alright with him if George goes next. "Do you want me to tell him" - no answer. I will if it is okay with you. No answer. Curtis goes and tells George "Chicken man, I guess you are up next. George says okay.

George goes in. Curtis goes next. When Curtis leaves, Cassandra is told to go in. She says something about its not her turn "Whats up with that?" Curtis says he doesn't know. Cassandra goes in. (ed - give Curtis a kleenex to help with the constant sniffing. Allergies bothering him?)

Curtis looking around. Looks bewildered. Eddie whistling in the background. Perhaps Curtis has not gone in yet? Maybe he was on his way when Cassandra was called and she took his place? Not sure. Someone clarify. Curtis sighing. Drinking
Coffee, looking disgusted. Yawning. Moving around - pacing, sitting, sighing.

Curtis whistles while he waits in the dining room, continuing to sip his coffee. Time passes by as it is clear that Jamie has been in the RR longer than anyone else. It's been more than 8 minutes. Curtis goes to the refrigerator, looks around but doesn't retrieve anything. He goes back to sipping his coffee. He also has the sniffles. He giggles to himself Jamie finally exits the RR. She was in there longer than anyone else, about 10 minutes. BB summons Curtis to the RR. He enters.

As Curtis is in the RR, F3/F4 switch to Jamie waiting outside and singing to herself. She quietly sings a country song (don't know it) to herself as she paces back and forth along the windowed wall of the house.

F1 is still a shot of the RR door, but switches to the cave along with F2. George is in the cave and appears to be reading something while lying on a bed.

Jamie finishes the country song and now sings "Calendar Girl" to herself as a very loud jet airplane flies overhead. After "Calendar Girl" she then sings "Friends in Low Places."

(Ed - She obviously does not realize that people on the internet can hear her high girly voice singing right now. Sheesh!)

Curtis exits the RR after about 7 minutes and heads to the kitchen where he pours himself more coffee. BB asks all HG's to return to the LR.

Jamie singing. "Calendar Girl" - song from the 60's. Plane flies overhead. Softly singing at first. Starting to get louder. Another plane overhead. Drowns out Jamie - she sings louder. Curtis is out of the red room. HG now talking.
"Please do not discuss your experiences in the Red Room" says BB.

Cass took about 4 minutes, Jamie in next. Most feeds watching Curtis drink coffee. (Jamie in at about 9:06 BB time). Jamie has been in longer than anyone else, 10 minutes so far. Okay, she's out, Curtis going in at 9:18.

As the HG gather in the LR they wonder what took so long. BB then announces that they are not to discuss their RR experiences with any other HG.

Eddie tells Josh, "You look like sh*t bro."

BB now announces to the HG that they must all discuss with each other the reason they all gave to the RR for deserving the grand prize. They must all participate. Cass walks out of the room (perhaps to get something).

Josh comments, "It's all fun and games....until someone gets hurt."

They all wait for Cass to return while making minor chit chat including Curtis jokingly speculating on what Eddie said in the RR. BB reminds Curtis that they are not to discuss the RR. Someone says, "We can discuss our reasons, but can't discuss what happened in the RR?"

Cass returns and it's time to discuss why each of the thinks they deserve the grand prize.

BB instructions - You must now discuss your reasons for thinking you deserve the prize money. More instructions I don't understand. HG are laughing hysterically. Someone says "Like I am five years old". Now singing to Hollywood - "I'm gonna be in pictures." laughing.

George says everytime the speaker comes on in the bedroom he is under it and it scares him. Eddie says then you have to change your pants. Laughing.

Joking around. Another warning - "You are not to talk to about what happened in the red room."

Stating if we can't talk about what we said in the red room, we need to make up something else - to follow the instructions. Laughing. No one starting conversation.

BB - again, mike order - discuss why you are deserving of the prize.

Eddie - hard working family' put brother through school; move parents because their house is under power lines and last tenant there got cancer, he got cancer -
BB - you don't have to talk about all your reasons, you just have to talk generally.

Eddie - okay, I am generally thinking that I will be able to provide some financial security for my family. I believe I deserve it....no, no, I mean I believe I want it.

Jopsh - help niece with college because I had to work. I know you do better if you don't have to work. I have seen people with power and money and abuse it - it bugs me - use their money the wrong way. Money doesn't bring you happiness, I am happy now. Family comes from humble beginnings - I'd like to make them proud of me.

Curtis - tried very hard to live my life as a good person. If I am deserving it is because I have done that. I think I have done that here - helping out, keeping harmony, trying to be friends with everyone. If I win, that means that I have stayed here three months. Last two months great...emotions, hard, but good. Want everything I can get out of it. If I win, better shape monetarly, just paid off my loans, etc. want to use my degree for public service - $ first best start for that. Give back to my family who have been supportive of me. Lucky to have been from middle class family but wnat to give them something extra. Best person will win - I believe in that

(ed... missed Eddie's sorry... )

Eddie- I am generally thinking that I could provide better financial security for my family. I believe that I want it... those are all my reasons that I believe

Josh- I want to help my niece through college. He doesn't want her to go through the struggle of supporting herself while going to school. He wants to pay off his student loans. He has sen people with money and power abusing it or using it in the wrong way. He knows money doesn't bring you happiness. His family comes from humble beginnings and he hopes to make him Proud.

Curtis- He has tried very hard to live his life as a good person and if he is deserving he should get that (prize money). He has tried to keep peace in the house. Winning the grand prize would mean that he would be there the whole time and it's been hard, but fun. He wants to get every single moment out of it that he can. Also there's the financial aspect. He admits he has gotten out of debt. He explains that all his friends make money and he is expected to make a lot of money. He feels he could be more relaxed if he had this extra to start with. He also wishes to help out his family and "repay" for the sacrifices that they have made for him. Finally, he thinks that the most deserving should win. He, therefore leaves it fate...

George - old man, body shot. Want to go back to school. Daughter to go to college - don't have enough money. We have always been able to just get by. Paycheck to paycheck or through borrowing to get by. My kids are expecting it. My mom has driven an old car for her entire life. I'd buy my mom a new car. Those are my reasons.

Cassandra - kind of like Curtis. Stablizing kind of person in the house - positive in the house. Try to be true to who I was before I came into the house. MOney not primary motivating factor but I want to be able to do things for my mother who got me where I am. I don't have what I need to take care of her in her retirement. I wouldn't be where I am without her. It is frustrating because I don't feel like I can take care of her.

Jamie - Studen loans left. Help out parents. Change of careers right now - to follow my heart. Give up past career to move into what I am passionate about. Losing financial security. I believe that what is meant to happen here will happen - happens for a reason and if its meant to happen to me, I'll enjoy every single moment of it and will be a great springboard for me. It will be amazing and again I think everyone here has great reasons and a good heart. I would be happy if anyone won, - good thing for the show.

BB tells them to gather in the living room and discuss why each of them is the most deserving of the prize.

Eddie: 1) hard working family never seems to get ahead. Every time they get some money, something happens to take it away.
2) He wants to put his brother thru school
3) Wants to relocate his family because their house is near power lines and they think that's why so many people who live there are getting cancer. Guy in house before them had it, now eddie and several folks on their block.

BB: breaks in - don't have to repeat all reasons, just talk about them in general

Eddie: I'm generally thinking that maybe I could... (laughter and jokes) I would be able to provide financial security for my family. I also believe that I deserve it. No! I didn't say that! I believe that I want it.

Josh: I want to help my neice through college so she doesn't have to work like I did. I don't want her to go through what I did working nights, and so forth. I know that having more time to concentrate on school lets you do a lot better. Also, as far as school goes, I have close to $20K in student loans I need to pay back. Another reason is that my whole life I've seen people with power & money abuse it and it bugs me. Peopple who use money & power in the wrong way. I know that money doesn't bring happiness. I'm happy now and I'll be happy then no matter what. My family comes from humble beginnings and I'd like to make them proud.

Curtis: I had started off saying that I have tried very hard to live my life as a good person and that's what I focus on. If I'm deserving, it's because of that. I've tried to do that here, with chores, challenges, trying to keep harmony, be friends with everyone, etc. It's a different environment here and we've come so far. Plus, if I win the grand prize, it will means I've been here 3 months. The last 2 months have been some of the most fun. Great learning experience. Want to get everything out of it he can. Obviously I'm in better shape monetarily. I've dug myself out of debt, but I'm sort of expected to make money now. I want to be more than just a lawyer who makes money. I want to use my skills for some good. Be apublic servant. MOney would help, not having to worry about the bills. Would like to give back to my family, too, they've been very supportive. Lucky enough that they could help me with school and stuff, but they have made sacrifices. Finally, I think the person who is most deserving will win it. I believe in God and faith and in this case the American public. I think it's up to faith. Whoever is supposed to win will. I believe in that.

George: The old man...It would allow me an opportunity to continue, like start my education again. As you know, my body is pretty much toast. It would let me do that because when you have a family and a house and everything, you have responsibilities and you just can't do that. It would give me a window of opportunity, a huge one. I have a daughter who will be going to college next year. We have planned for her to go, but we don't nearly have enough money. We did plan, but it seems like when you have a family, there's always something that comes up to dip into that. Third, we have always just been able to get by. Me and Teresa just kind of lived paycheck to paycheck or even borrowing sometimes to survive, just to pay the basic bills. Fourth is, as you can see, my kids are expecting it. Fifth, my mom has drove (sic) old cars her entire life. I'd buy ma a new car. Them are my reasons. (sic)

Cass: I felt that my role here has put me in a position of being like a stablizing force. Not that I've got a corner on being a good person in the house, but I've tried to be someone people could trust,a positive body in the house. I try to be true to who Cassandra was before I came into the house which hasn't always been easy. Trying to ensure I don't change so much people won't recognize who I am. Probably the money wasn't the primary motivating factor for me to be here, but it would be a benefit because I want to do some things for my mother who did some sacrificing for me to get where I am. I don't have what it takes to take care of her in her retirement. She doesn't expect it. But she helped me and I'd like to have the opportunity to take care of her.

Jamie: Student loans. I pay for a lot of college from working, but I still have 10s of thousands of dollars to pay back. Also, I know that it's inevitable that I'm going to be paying for my parent's retirement. I guess the big decision I maade toward the beginning of coming here with respect to ending a career that would provide financial security and choosing to follow what I'm passionate about although I may be poor as a result. I want to follow my heart and what I'm passionate about, but I leave behind the financial security I worked for. I'm also just here to have fun and enjoy it. I believe in destiny and what is meant to happen here will. I've failed at so many things and succeeded too and learned that things happen for a reason. If I do win, I'm going to enjoy, live, feel, every single moment of it and do whatever I can with it for as longas I possibly can. I think it would open lots of doors. It would be amazing. Everyon has great reasons and everyone has a good heart. The greatest thing with the 6 of us is thate veryone here is a good person and I would be happy if anyone won. Almost as happy as if it were me. That's a great thing for the show. They picked good people for the show.

Eddie: Let me clarify. I said that I deserve it. I really wanted to say that I WANT it. Anyone in here who wins it deserves it. Is that it, Mrs. S? I'm going to bed 'cause I shit my drawers and I'm going to bed!

No answer from BB.

Teasing Eddie about flashing them, but not being clear. Cass didn't know what they were talking about and they told her she didn't WANT to know. :)
