Ocean Island's Live Feed Summary

August 27 2002

Stand on the moon and look back at the earth. It is far away, and blue. This might, just might, give you some perspective on your problems back home. Today, the houseguests had some – ok, just a little -- perspective on things: things were kept on an even keel for the most part, despite periodic tears flowing from sunup to sundown. And a philosophical attitude was never too far away …. Or was it the wine they were drinking?

Here are some random revelations from Houseguests on Tuesday:

Gerry is hoping to become a star and use his celebrity status to help his school.

The first thing that Roddy said in the DR, the first week, was that Lori was going to win.

Gerry was in a Harrison Ford movie when he was quite young. He played a cop and still gets royalty checks from it, about $30 per year.

Amy is excited about getting 'libations.' Is that a catholic ritual? I guess this might be something you do when you get a 'gentleman caller'.

Marcellus said, “Everytime I see Roddy with Amy, it's like seeing Satan with some brain-damaged lamb.”

Amy was upset that they were going to monitor her alcohol intake so that all the houseguests could get their fair share of wine.

Amy braided Jason’s hair, and Danielle told him he looked like a ‘white Buckwheat’.

I have to apologize for yesterday’s summary. It was inappropriate. I have seen the light now. Roddy needs to win. I just can’t believe what a fantastic man Roddy is. He’s the greatest player the game has ever had, and an incredible human being to boot. I can’t believe how mistaken I was before … hey, it sure is smokey in here … what are those fumes doing, coming out from real player into my room? {cough, cough . . . . } help! I’m trapped with vapors coming at me from the live feeds . .. . aaaaah! Roddy … must … win …. . (slap! Slap! SLAP!) Wow, that was a close one. The poisonous Roddy vapors were taking over my mind. Can’t spend … too much … time talking about him … or I’ll fall … under warlock. ….. enchantment …. …. …. ….

You have to admit it’s hard and sad to watch Gerry this morning. Sitting by himself with a muffin, some coffee, all the others asleep, his breath catches in his throat -– and he cries. He’s all alone, amongst strangers, basically -- who want him out. This is too much like life -- the ‘haves’ versus the ‘have-nots’. I feel myself wishing he hadn’t come on the show at all. It doesn’t seem quite fair that the producers cast everyone to be basically young, and basically good looking, except for him. Yes, Gerry asked for it …. But I don’t think that we asked to watch it.

The houseguests played some pool games, rough-housing around and committing assorted monkey-shine shenanigans. In the process, Roddy’s back and torso got pretty scratched up, apparently by Amy’s fingernails. Danielle called her ‘Edward Scissorhands’ and then Amy cried. Yes, these people are actually older than the age of 8. Then the houseguests went to walk the dogs. Oops -- sorry, editorializations again ...

Marcellus is turning out to be quite a quipster (Gomer Pyle: “Well surpraz, surpraz!”). Latest reports attribute to him this zinger: “Who do I have to f**k to stay on this show? Who do I have to f**k to get off this show?” Also, “I don’t understand how Gerry can teach shop when he can’t get the pool chemicals right.”

Bash-a-rama department: Danielle called Gerry’s privates his ‘johnson.’ “He held his ‘johnson’ and then didn’t wash his hands, do you know how disgusting that is?” Marcellus said Gerry came out of the house with two big wet hand prints on his butt (which is how he dried his hands). Gerry is cooking pork for dinner and suddenly a bunch of them claim not to eat pork, to get out of eating his cooking.

Amy had a freak-out session in the diary room, about something she would not reveal and would not want revealed to the public at large. She told the DR to burn the tapes. They told her not to worry about it. Were they lying? What could it be? Roddy heard about this, as he is currently probing Amy for information. But she wouldn’t spill the beans.

Danielle ponders about being in the house, that there's a bond there that is so deep and so powerful; you can spend a week on peanut butter and jelly with someone -- and it is so intimate, so powerful, that it is unforgettable -- and it wasn't even chunky peanut butter. Amy agrees and admits that she can't communicate with people. That's why being there for her is such a personal experience. She admits she’s grown so much, so many things have changed her. She feels wonderful about it. But she still likes cheese and wine.

A skirmish threatened when Marcellus found out that Roddy doesn’t mind voting Gerry out. Or is Roddy lying? Gerry had originally claimed to Amy that Roddy was going to keep him in, which set up the battle for the entire week, basically, to shuffle votes around, play musical chairs, backstab, lie and everything else that you can imagine including the lizards. It's not clear if this revelation will change anything, as Jason needs to be prepared to deal with a tie.

Roddy was working over Lisa at the end of the day. The ‘revelation that Roddy wants Gerry out’ is being used by Roddy as a way to get under Lisa’s skin and turn her over to his side. He must have sensed that she was stonewalling him -- she held her own.

The evening ended with Roddy, Amy and Lisa in the hot tub. Lisa and Amy appeared to be avoiding going to sleep in the same room with Gerry; they were waiting for him to get up in the morning before going in to sleep. In the end, Roddy moved some things around so that Lisa and Amy could avoid Gerry but still sleep. Do you think he did this out of the goodness of his heart? Or maybe he realizes his oh-so-transparent attempts to compliment the physical attractiveness of all the strategically-placed voting houseguests are wearing a bit thin?

And that was Tuesday August 27 at Big Brother House!
