Spygirl | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:07 pm     This WONDERFUL summary is the hard work of DEEYA!! Deeya stepped in for Delilah and posted this summary from the chat transcript for the night. Thanks again!! LIVE EVICTION: GERRY VS. AMY Big Brother Episode #23 * August 29, 2002 --------------------------------------- Previously on Big Brother 3 --------------------------------------- As usual the show begins with a recap of the previous week's events. Amy and Gerry are nominated for eviction, while the rest of the houseguests worry about Roddy's power of persuasion. Jason did not use the veto, and everyone knows that the next HoH competition is crucial. Marc tells us from the Diary room: "What we are leading up to is a clash of the titans between Roddy and Danielle. It's Day 55 in the Big Brother House with only 7 houseguests left. Julie says that Jason has taken center stage this week. He surprised people with his nominations because he didn't nominate Roddy. While this eviction is important for Gerry and Amy, it is also important for positioning for the other houseguests down the line. Some of the week's strategizing is shown in clips both in the house and in the Diary Room. Gerry tells us that "of course" he is campaigning. He doesn't want to leave, even though it has been difficult being the oldest in the house. Amy, on the other hand, says that she is extremely secure this week. Roddy makes an offer to Gerry: "If I got Lisa to vote for you, you couldn't put her up the next week." Gerry/Diary Room: "Roddy forgets things that are said. He has been part of alliances all over (we see clips of Roddy's different alliances). As much as I like Roddy, I don't trust him." We see a lot of clips that indicate that Roddy seems to be the threat that everyone is concerned about. Diary Room Excerpts: Marc: It seems Dani and Roddy are the lead players in this week's drama. Dani: I don't hate Roddy, but he's a threat to me in this game. It's nothing personal--it's business. Roddy: Dani and I would get along very well; she likes me but doesn't want me in the house in this game. Marc: Dani is scared of Roddy and wants him gone. Roddy is scared of Dani and wants her gone. Lisa: Roddy is everyone's biggest threat. Gerry: She (Dani) has been more adept at playing everyone evenly. Jason: I have always wondered if I am being played by the others. Marc: I think Dani would put up Roddy and I think Roddy would put up Dani. Amy: I would like Marc to win HoH and put Dani and Roddy up for the clash of the titans and let them battle it out. Julie then goes in to talk to the houseguests. She asks Roddy how it feels not to be nommed this week after being on the block two weeks in a row. Roddy says it's like being paroled and he's glad to have the week off. She then asks who he misses the most. Roddy says he misses Chi the most, rather than Eric, because Eric has been gone for quite some time now, but he became the closest to Chi. Julie also announces that the HRD was closed down today and wants to know how the HG feel about that and the fact that someone will be on a cot. Dani says that she has been there, done that, so bring it on. However, Dani says that she is looking at that big room over there (the HoH Room). Julie congratulates Dani on winning America's Choice this week with the video from home. When asked if she has anything to say to her husband, Dani simply thanks him and America. She says that realizing that people out there are watching you gives you inspiration to continue. --------------------------------------- JASON'S PARENTS --------------------------------------- His parents say that Jason is a great guy, he loves to sing, is fun-loving. He likes to perform; he is a Christian and has been a junior high pastor in their church. Being able to minister is the love in his life. Jason's mom said that watching him at first was distressing. It was like sending your kid to college and seeing what they do. People ask how it is... it's a little embarrassing. Chi was someone he was attracted to because she was fun and Dad feels he'll carry on the friendship outside the house. Mom doesn't agree and says that she's not like anyone he has ever met. His parents were surprised that he nominated Gerry and Amy and yelled at the screen for him to nominate Amy and Roddy. But, they feel he truly believes he needs Roddy from a strategy standpoint to get further in the game. Jason is playing the game. Dad says that his strategy going into the game was to use his biggest asset, to be nice. He doesn't seem like a fierce competitor, but he is playing the game. The family misses him, but Mobile is supporting him. --------------------------------------- JASON IN THE HOH ROOM --------------------------------------- Jason: It was a tough week. It came down to me realizing I have to trust he will be an ally for me in the game. Also, I gave my word to Chi and Roddy and I had to keep it. It might be the wrong decision --- I might have given Roddy the game, but I had to do what I felt was right. Julie asks what Jason meant about Roddy looking after him time and again. Jason says that when Gerry was HoH, Roddy stepped in to keep Gerry from nominating Jason. He also learned that Roddy stepped up for him when Chi was HoH. He feels that Roddy is his friend. Any regrets? Jason says he doesn't have any regrets and that it was a safe decision for him. He was a friend and looked out for his buddy Roddy, doing what Roddy had done for him. Did you enjoy the perks? The perks were great, lots of food, Dunkin' Donuts. He says the houseguests went crazy on the donuts and have been dealing with a sugar buzz. --------------------------------------- CATCHING UP WITH ERIC --------------------------------------- It's been three weeks since Eric left. Eric says that it is great to be back and he can't say enough about the guys in his department. His co-workers gave him a hard time about never having a shirt on in the house and how he used a garden hose to show the houseguests how to handle a fire hose. His co-workers were also curious about his relationship with Lisa, because he had told them he wouldn't hook up inside the house. Eric says they were pleased to hear that it wasn't a fling. He says it was tough when he first left the house, because he wasn't sure if what had happened between him and Lisa was strategy of if it was what she wanted. When he first heard that she didn't vote to bring him back in the house, he was hurt. But he knows she was broken up over it and in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't have mattered. It was strategy and he says he understood her choice. Eric says that he is looking forward to her getting out of the house so they can see what happens between them. --------------------------------------- VOTING --------------------------------------- Marc: Gerry came into the house as a teacher, but I didn't come here to be parented. Amy is funny, gregarious, and young. She's got some growing to do. Lisa: I feel as though Gerry goes out on tangents and talks at you instead of to you and that he doesn't appreciate his houseguests. Now that Amy is back, I don't know what it is. We laugh a lot, although she clashes with the house as well. Roddy: Amy has had a tendency to be selfish, especially in the beginning and I am not a fan of that stuff. The reason I think Gerry should sat is that he owes me a favor if he stays. Dani: You can't help but have a lot of respect for Gerry--he's kept up with the young crowd Julie talks to the houseguests again, mentioning that this is Amy's third time nominated. Amy says she is the professional BB nominee. She says she is used to it and on Wednesday nights she simply packs her bags. She has already said her goodbyes and she thanks everyone for letting her come back in the house. Gerry jokes that on the whole he would rather sit on the couch, but since he has been nominated, he's decided he doesn't want to run. He says that it has been tough, but it has been a wonderful bonding experience. He came into the house with a rich life and it's only richer because he has spent time with these people. If he were ever trapped, he'd like to spend the time with them again. Life hands you an opportunity. When you get it, carpe diem --- seize the day and go with it. --------------------------------------- EVICTION --------------------------------------- By a vote of 4 to 0, Amy...... unpack your bags. Gerry you are evicted. The houseguests walk Gerry to the door (although he says: don't get up guys, I know the way). He gets hugs and tells them to take care, and he's out the door. After Gerry meets Julie, we are back in the house to see Marc in tears and Lisa looking somewhat stricken. Roddy jokes: Who hired Enron's accountants (the houseguest were stunned at the way the announcement was made as usually the name out of Julie's mouth is the one evicted). --------------------------------------- INTERVIEW WITH GERRY --------------------------------------- Gerry says that he would rather be back in the house. He isn't surprised and quotes Hamlet: "The readiness is all." You can't walk into that house without being ready to walk out. "I'm 20 years older than everyone else and the generation gap shows up at times. Things you have in common are tough and I didn't fit in --- like with the frolics." Gerry says that he was ready tonight... and in some ways he feels lucky. He has a job to go back to that he loves and that has been weighing on his mind. School starts next week. Gerry was surprised that Jason nominated him because Jason had told him he would be nominating Roddy. But it also didn't surprise him because Jason saw him as a threat. He was playing the game, which is what he had to do. In essence he decided to trust Roddy - but Roddy is a player and will do what is best for Roddy, even if that means Jason has to go. Gerry plans to continue losing weight. He knows he was presented with a special opportunity. With all the Adonis's, I knew I had to do some serious working out. --------------------------------------- Farewell Messages --------------------------------------- Dani: Buddy ole pal, I had a great time in the house with you. Rod: I have loved having you in the house.. from chess to conversations.. you bring a lot to the table.. Amy: Gerry I enjoyed every minute we spent in the house. Jason: Thanks for the wonderful things you brought to the house.. the things you have done to take care of us.. the resident dad Marc: Take care of yourself.. love your wife.. love your children..go back to teaching Lisa--what I really have to say to you and what I really have to say to eric is that I'm sorry that I didn't have the pleasure of putting you up this week. Roddy: The kids are lucky to have you. Regarding who he wants to win: Gerry says that he has been rooting for Dani all along--other than himself. He had a strong connection with her from early on.. she deserves it.. she's a good person. Gerry is greeted by his children, a daughter and two sons. --------------------------------------- HOH COMPETITION --------------------------------------- Jason cannot compete. The competition is based on former houseguests and what they think of the remaining houseguests. A trivia type, true or false game takes place. 1: When asked which of the HGs is the neatest, Chiara said Marcellas. The Correct Answer: True. All answer true; all are still in the game. 2: When asked which of the HGs is most likely to pose for Playboy, Josh said Lisa. The Correct Answer: True. All answer true; all are still in the game. 3: When asked which of the HGs would be set up with a best friend, Lori said Roddy. The Correct Answer: False, she said Jason. Lisa and Danielle and Lisa are out. 4: When asked which of the HGs would be lent money to, Josh said Danielle. The Correct Answer: True Everyone was wrong, so everyone stays in the game. 5: When asked which of the HGs is the sloppiest, Eric said Lisa. The Correct Answer: True Amy and Roddy are out. Marcellas wins HOH. Marc is excited because he is the first one to do it twice this season. In the final moments, Marc promises to keep Boo (his gnome) at this side during his reign. |
