 THE DAILY SCOOP™

Volume 2, Issue 17

By James m. (Sunday, August 01, 2004– Day 31 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

I would grade last night’s Big Brother 5 episode as an A.

During the endurance HoH (Head of Household) competition, Diane said that she is waitress and everyone might as well give up because it is basically her job to withstand pressure.

Looking back to the eviction, Diane said, "Holly getting evicted 7 to 1 was priceless." Scott added, "I'm not sad to see Holly leave. I'm just glad to see Jase back." Scott was referring to Jase's head not being in the game when Holly was around. Being 100% honest, Jase said that Holly leaving makes him feels betrayed.

Back to the competition, Jennifer was the first to leave at 1 hour and 48 minutes. Marvin said that by Jase's comments on "thanks for evicting my girlfriend" showed just how he was not playing the game. Karen was the next to step down after 3 hours and 9 minutes. At the four-hour mark, the HGs still in the competition could not switch their hands. Diane suggested that Michael win the competition and everyone giving up. Marvin was not "down" with that because he was sure he could be the next to go. Cowboy/Michael was out at 4 hours and 6 minutes. Michael went into the bathroom and cried, knowing that he let down his alliance. Jennifer comforted her half-brother.

Diane told Jase, "It's going to be a fight 'til the end."

Scott was the next one to leave at 4 hours and 36 minutes. Diane called him out when he put his other hand on his photo face, making an illegal move. He was really mad at Diane for calling him out. Marvin was next at 5 hours, knowing that he couldn't compete with the others. Adria was next to go at 5 hours and 21 minutes. Adria was trying to switch fingers and messed up.

Diane and Jase were talking and Jase told her that she would be surprised at whom he would put up. Jase said that he wanted to prove a point, so he wanted HoH. Will was up with Diane and Jase as well and he asked if he was safe so, at 5 hours and 32 minutes, Will left the game. At 7 hours and 22 minutes, the two HGs remaining, Jase and Diane, could not lift their feet off of the white block anymore.

During the competition, Jase showed just how much tension was between the Horsemen and how weak they are becoming. Jase tried to psyche out Diane by acting crazy. Diane was hoping that maybe he would slip up and at 9 hours and 32 minutes, Jase did slip up. He moved his left foot just a little and the buzzer rang; later, his white block became dark. Diane won and she couldn't believe it. Also, she couldn't move her arm. Drew crowned her. (Well, he put the necklace with the key around her neck.) Scott had a look of disgust on his face. Will noticed how Jase was acting nice to Diane and knew that it was in his "master plan." Michael predicted, "We've got a hard week (coming)."

Karen said that she misses Larry, her husband. Jase described, "If I don't hear the word 'Larry' 75 times, my day is not complete." Will said that he could identify Larry, even his fingerprint if it was left in the house; this is how much he knows about him. Marvin cracked a joke that if Larry's name were mentioned 400 times, Karen would have to go.

Diane went into her new room for the week. Marvin said that he acted like he cared and that her dogs are the ugliest-looking animals he has seen in his life. Adria noted how last week's HoH (Drew) is a twin and this week's HoH (Diane) is a twin, just like the Adria-Natalie twist, except no one knows about.

Jase predicted that he would not be seeing his key this week, meaning that he would be nominated for eviction. Will told Diane that Marvin is a threat because he is unpredictable.

A new story to mix up the game: Jase said that when he first saw Michael, he that Michael was a brain surgeon. He later found out that Michael is a bull rider.

Adria and Natalie switched for the ninth time. Natalie was very happy that Diane is HoH. They talked briefly and reviewed what had happened for a few minutes. Then, Natalie entered the house.

Karen told Diane that Jase and Marvin are the first threats. Diane said that her goal is to get Jase out of the house, especially since he humiliated her last week in front of all the other HGs. Jase talked with Diane and said that he would have no problem with her putting him up. He said in the Diary Room that he now respects her for winning the HoH competition. Diane knew that he was just trying to play her. Scott told Jase that he feels Marvin was going up…

Diane told Karen that she would like to put up four people on the block (Jase, Scott, Marvin, and Cowboy/Michael).

…Scott said that he is confident he will not be on The Block.

Diane said that everyone told her that they didn't mind if she put them on the Block, but she knows that no one likes to be up for eviction.

At the Nomination Ceremony, Diane pulled the first key. Here is the following list of the order of how the keys were pulled: Will, Drew (Marvin had a surprised look on his face), Adria, Marvin (Scott smirked), Karen (Jase the smirked), Jennifer (referred by Karen as Nik), and Michael. Diane said that she nominated Jase and Scott because they are the strongest players in the game. She cannot risk leaving them in the house. Jase and Scott said that they are "cool with it." Diane said that Jase is nothing without Scott and vice versa.

Will described it as, "Everyone is running scared." Marvin said that it is possible he could be up after veto is won.

OPINIONS…

Finally, someone who should be up on the Block.

POLL RESULTS…

Looking at last week’s poll results, Will was the favorite HG with 29% of the vote, followed by Adria and Drew with 25%, Diane and Jase (8%), and Jennifer (4%). (The other HGs were not voted for.)

In the eviction poll, 44% said that they want Scott out. Jase was next with 28%. Then, “someone who is nominated” received 16%, followed by “another HG” with 12%.

Note: 24 people voted for the first poll and 25 voted for the second. We will have another poll for you after Thursday. Thanks to all that voted.

THE CURRENT SCOOP…

Week Four: HoH –Diane; Nods –Jase and Scott (yes!); POV – Jase (of course he’ll use it; he’s arrogant; we’ll find out Monday); more to come in Monday’s Late Edition. Bye for now.

 THE DAILY SCOOP™

Volume 2, Issue 16

By James m. (Saturday, July 31, 2004– Day 30 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

We have received word that on an August 30th episode of CBS’s hit soap The Young and the Restless a very lucky Big Brother 5 HouseGuest will be appearing, making his or her national TV acting debut.

The Number One rated daytime drama, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, will open its stage doors to a real-life schemer and backstabber when one BIG BROTHER HouseGuest, after winning a competition, will be awarded a walk-on role on the soap opera. The HouseGuest will be blindfolded and brought from the Big Brother House to the set of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. They will appear in scenes set at the Genoa City Athletic Club with longtime fan favorites Michelle Stafford and Christian LeBlanc, who play two of the soap's biggest schemers, Phyllis and Michael.

 

On the BIG BROTHER live show, Thursday, Aug. 26, the HouseGuests get to view the episode and critique the winner's performance. The Y&R episode featuring the HouseGuest will be seen Monday, Aug. 30.

[Quote from CBS Press Release]

OPINIONS…

Well, the game is starting to end for the Horsemen, isn’t it? Their problem, from the beginning, is that they are way too confident. They walk around the house like they own it and I know no one likes bigheaded egos.

THE CURRENT SCOOP…

Week Four: HoH – Diane; Nods – Jase & Scott; POV – TBD; more to come in tomorrow’s edition. Bye for now.

 THE DAILY SCOOP™

Volume 2, Issue 15

By James m. (Friday, July 30, 2004– Day 29 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

I would grade last night’s Big Brother 5 episode as an A. Holly was finally kicked out the door!

Now, I once again regret to inform you that an in-depth account to last night's show will not be available today because of the Democratic National Convention, to sum up all of the reasons. (Sunday, though, I can update you that there will be in-detailed coverage of Saturday’s episode.)

I normally type of the summary while watching; however, I couldn't because I became very busy and then afterwards, the TV was unavailable for me to review the show and give my opinions.

I will write what I remember:

The most interesting thing about last night's episode was when we found out more about Jase and Scott's real personalities from the two people that know them best, their mothers. I was surprised to hear that both of the two guys are nothing like what they are portrayed in the house. I guess I can see that happening, considering when you are in a different environment with different people, you are not "in the norm." There is no normalcy, nothing to tie you down to your roots, well, except yourself. Jase and Scott evidently don't have the self disciple in order to control themselves and keep to their true selves.

Julie, I thought, was being somewhat of an annoying host. She kept repeating the same things over and over again. “Coming up…” Blah, Blah, Blah… This was the only part of the episode that I didn’t like.

I am glad to report: Holly was evicted 7-1. I’m assuming Jase gave her a vote. The house is now quieter and peaceful, when the others aren’t backstabbing each other. When Holly was told about the twin twist, her jaw dropped and had this great look of astonishment that I had never seen in my life. I was amazing and Holly was truly shocked.

At the HoH (Head of Household) Competition, as I predicted in an earlier edition of the DS, was an endurance challenge. The HGs had to stand, uncomfortably, on a block of white light, while they pushed a button in the mouth of a life-size picture of each of them. If, at any time, they were to release their figure from the button, then their white light box they were standing on would go out and they would have given up their chance at winning this week’s HoH, whether wanting to or not. (This report has been typed up while the HoH Comp. was still going on. We will update you on the winner as soon as we know.)

I am glad that Adria was not given the boot. The interesting thing will be if she can last one more week in the house. If she does, Natalie is revealed and they both come into the house to play for the $500,000.

That was another great episode of Big Brother 5. BB5 Producers: Keep it up!

THE CURRENT SCOOP…

Week Four: HoH – TBD; Nods – TBD; POV – TBD; more to come in tomorrow edition. Bye for now.

 THE DAILY SCOOP™

Volume 2, Issue 14

By James m. (Wednesday, July 28, 2004– Day 27 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

I would grade last night’s Big Brother 5 episode as a B -. I am sorry to inform all of my dedicated fans that read this everyday after the airing of a Big Brother episode, but last night I experienced technical difficulties and only saw about half of the episode last night.

I don’t know if the first half was more cheerful, but what I saw last night was pitiful: the same old storyline with the vindictive Jase and Scott. I just have to say that if the Horsemen make it to the end. Drew will win because no one will want to see any of the other guys win (at this rate). Maybe if we see the eviction of Jase and Scott something will change for the better. I sure hope Julie Chen’s kindhearted people start winning soon.

PREDICTIONS…

Do I think there will be a tie? That is possible; although, I would love to see Marvin switch sides and vote to get ride of Holly. That would be awesome. Even if Adria is voted out, Natalie will be revealed and will be able to play longtime in the house and that would be nice too. Here are my following vote-pre-caps: Diane, Jennifer, Karen, and Will will vote to evict Holly (this is a definite). Jase, Michael, and Scott will vote to evict Adria (this is also a definite). I think Marvin is in the air, but as all seems to go wrong, Marvin will vote to evict Adria. This is a tie, which Drew must then settle the vote. If he chooses from his heart, Holly will go (this would be a great thing for the entire house long-term, even if the Horsemen disagree; they are biased and blind sighted). Drew, again because all seems to go wrong, will vote to evict Adria (being a chicken and not a true man, standing up for what he thinks is right). If Drew would evict Holly, I would definitely think he should win the game, just for standing up to his peers.

I’m sorry, but Natalie should prepare to enter the house long-term.

THE CURRENT SCOOP…

Week Three: HoH – Drew; Nods – Adria / Natalie (formerly Jennifer) and Holly; POV – Jennifer (used it to save herself); more to come in Friday’s edition (unless there is breaking news). Bye for now.

 THE DAILY SCOOP™

Volume 2, Issue 13

By James m. (Tuesday, July 27, 2004– Day 26 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

As most of you know by now, Jennifer won the Golden Power of Veto Saturday night, meaning that she can take herself off The Block, if she so pleases. I guess she does “pleases” because yesterday she decided to take herself out of the running for eviction and, in response, Drew put up Adria (sometimes twin-swapped Natalie) up for eviction to fill the empty chair next to the blond ditz known as Holly.

PREDICTIONS…

Let’s see. Everyone but Jase and Scott, who have been twisted in Holly’s web way too long to count, do not want to see Holly go. Even Drew, one of their own (for he too is, or should I say was, in their alliance), wants Holly to get out and not let the door kick her on the way. It should be a full vote for Holly to leave, except Michael, Jase, and Scott will vote to evict Holly. This is a probable situation, but would be apposite.

THE CURRENT SCOOP…

Week Three: HoH – Drew; Nods – Adria / Natalie (formerly Jennifer) and Holly; POV – Jennifer (used it to save herself); more to come in tomorrow’s edition. Bye for now.

 THE DAILY SCOOP™

Volume 2, Issue 12

By James m. (Sunday, July 25, 2004 – Day 24 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

I would grade last night’s Big Brother 5 episode as an A. I loved how Drew used the power to his own advantage.

Marvin was bummed out when Lori was evicted; he really wanted Holly to go, but the Horsemen put a kink in his plan. Diane said that the event just makes her want to stay and compete even more, for Lori was in an alliance with her and Will.

Drew was very surprised when he learned that he won HoH (Head of Household). The Four Horsemen were made obvious when they jumped up and down to the fact that one of their own had to power of nominating. Will said the whole event was revolting. Jennifer said that she was hopeful that she will not be put up and maybe Drew will not be ruled by the other guys.

Then, Marvin rubbed Drew the wrong way, telling him that Drew shouldn’t put him up, but should float the rumor that Drew was going to nominate Karen and him (Marvin).

Will told Karen that he was hopeful that they could get to Drew and make sure he doesn’t nominate them. They said that Drew wants Holly out of the house so that could be one of the nominees. The other was up in the air.

The other HouseGuests went and checked out Drew’s room for the week, the Head of Household Room. In the room, there was Drew’s Miami flag, a blanket from home, and pictures of his family. Ah, how cute!

Drew said that this week, he needed to take a look at taking out the strongest players (meaning his fellow Horsemen) or nominating the people whom Jase, Scott, and Michael want to be nominated. He was just not sure.

Here we go again, Scott’s being egocentric. Scott said that he is a scout player for the NFL, saying that he makes $750,000 and has a black Cadillac Escalade. (Even though statistics show that they couldn’t make that much even in a two-year period.) The HGs, unbeknownst to them, celebrated Scott’s fake birthday. (His real birthday was a month ago.) This, once again, reiterates Scott’s stupidity and arrogance.

Now, time for a swordfight between two of the Horsemen: Jase was starting to get peeved at Scott for talking to Holly. Scott apologized for something that no one really cared about. Drew, being the ONLY smart one, knows that Holly is (and always has been) in the way and is braking apart the Horsemen. Is he the only level-heading guy in the house?

Marvin, being the person he is, made fun of Michael, saying that his father is rich, meaning that he is rich. Michael was getting very angry being Marvin was embarrassing him. Michael, earning all of his money, said that he works about six-seven days a week because he is NOT rich. Why do we care about if Cowboy is rich? Remember, Scott probably has more, being an NFL scout. Yeah, right.

Diane and Drew have a heart-to-heart (a tête-à-tête). Drew loves to cuddle with Diane and doesn’t want to put her on The Block. Drew: “Holly is full of crap. I want her out.” Diane told Drew that everyone is very happy that he is in the powerful position.

Jase and Holly talk about how hard life is because they are so good looking (oh give me a break!). Holly said that if she wore black hair, glasses, and wore her hair in a bun (I guess this is her ideal for an ugly person); maybe people wouldn’t judge her automatically. My opinion: if the brain’s bad, no matter how hard you try, no one really wants to hangout with you because they can stand it when you open your mouth.

Food Competition: “Alphabet Soup.” One at a time, the HGs had to go into the bowl of soup and spell what they wanted to eat or drink. All of the vowels were at the bottom of the bowl and everything had to be spelt correctly. Marvin went first, spelling “Beer.” Michael, second, spelt “Beef.” Scott went in and spelled “Steak.” Karen laughed at him because she knew that steak was a specific kind of beef. Holly spelt wine and while she was looking around for her letters her face was very funny because she was in this “disgusting” bowl of soup. Marvin spelt “Chicken.” Michael was thoughtful and spelt “lobster.” Scott, being grammatically challenged, spelt “Cheesse” and then changed it to “Cheese.” Other items won were eggs, pizza, milk, apples, cola, and pork, among the other aforementioned items.

Michael clearing noticed that “Nominations are Today,” as a sign on the plasma clearly said. Drew talked to the other members of his alliance and couldn’t get a solid list of two people for nomination. Scott hinted that he wanted Marvin and “A” – Adria – for eviction. Drew: “I just have to be a man and make my own decision.” Scott: “He is going to drive himself crazy.” (I bet that hour-long conversation he had with Holly after the nominations Friday night just drove beyond insanity.)

Adria and Natalie switched for the seventh time. As soon as Natalie was out in the house, Drew grabbed her and pulled her into the HoH room. Drew told her that he thought about putting her up. (At least, this is what the Horsemen wanted.) Natalie-as-Adria told him that she would never put him up and would keep him until the end. Natalie said that Drew needs to think about whom he can risk losing, since anything is possible when people are up for eviction. Drew: “If she is lying, she’s going to hell.”

Jase corned Drew and reminded him that he HATES Marvin. Drew: “The more opinions I get, the crazier I get… Jase is very wishy-washy.”

Drew: “I have to live with my decision.”

Holly: “Nobody likes being nominated.” Drew made his decision. Will said that he was confident for results and just hoped Drew would make the right decision and not be swayed by any other HG.

Time for the nomination ceremony: Drew pulls the first key. Here is the following list of the order in which the keys are pulled:

Will, Jase, Adria, Diane, Scott, Karen (“Thank you very much,” she said), Marvin, and Michael. Drew: “Your ability to change someone’s mind … and for that reason, I nominated you, Holly.” Drew said to Jennifer that she talks to too many people and the alliances she has are ambiguous. Jennifer said that seeing the faces on the Horsemen made the meeting golden and she could hardly restrain herself (by laughing) because this was a shock to all, especially when Michael was put up last and Will called first.

Drew thinks his nominations are Veto-proof. Jase was really mad and said that Holly is an ally and she should not have been put on The Block. The guys are definitely planning on using the veto, if they get it.

Let’s just hope they don’t. Remember, there are six people who are going to compete for the PoV (Power of Veto). Jennifer will probably choose one of the girls. Holly will choose Jase. Drew will probably not choose one of his fellow Horsemen, knowing that they would use the Veto to take Holly of The Block. So as long as Jase doesn’t win it, everything will be good and Holly will be going home.

OPINIONS…

Well, Big Brother is going well now. The Horsemen seems to be breaking it up, which should happen and Julie Chen’s “true at heart” might come out on top after all, meaning the Jase and Scott and condemned to eternal damnation. Yes!

Last Week’s Poll Results…

Again, we polled everyone that came to our website and would like to thank you all for voting. Last week’s results were as follows:

Your favorite HG was Drew (29%), followed by Adria (14%), Karen (14%), Will (14%), Diane (7%), Lori (7%), Marvin (7%), and Michael (7%). Holly, Jase, Jennifer, and Scott received no votes.

We also asked who you would like to seen evicted. The winner: A “Horseman” with 67% of the vote. It was followed by Holly (20%) and Marvin (13%). Lori and “Another HG” received no votes.

Breaking News Veto Winner Update

 THE DAILY SCOOP™: Late Edition

Volume 2, Issue 11

By James m. (Saturday, July 24, 2004 – Day 23 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

LIVE FEED UPDATE (10:40pm BBT)

Right now the live feeds have been cut to the fish tank (this is when the Big Brother producers don't want us to see inside the house) for about a few hours. This is quite odd. I am going to make a prognostication and say that the veto competition is happening right now. I could guess that it might be either an eating event, a late-night-for-more-drama physical challenge, or it is an endurance challenge.

Looking back, there have been eating challenges, but that was for food. The HGs (HouseGuests) are due for an endurance competition, where they have to hold out and whoever is the last standing wins the power of HoH or PoV.

I believe it might an endurance challenge, but, then again, maybe not. I'll keep you posted and give you more in tomorrow's DS.

THE CURRENT SCOOP…

Week Three: HoH – Drew; Nods – Holly and Jennifer; POV – TBD, more to come in tomorrow’s edition. Bye for now.

Editorial Help!

Having watched every episode of Big Brother USA in existence, I can say that Big Brother 5 is quickly loosing its edge. The family twists this season have been exciting, but are quickly turning lackluster because of the ill-witted contestants on this year.

The problem the producers have faced over the years is that they want to be edgy and, I'm sure, extremely provocative; however, how long can you look at good looking people (sans brains) before it is too much to handle? Three months in the Big Brother house is too much for these people to even imagine. Some could not carry on conversations if their lives depended on it. Now, there are/were a few people in the house with the talent of commonsense.

If you need an example: Friday night, July 23, Holly spend over an hour in the Head of Household room explaining to Drew why she shouldn't have been nominated. "You don't like me; you don't understand me..." Blah, Blah, Blah.

Why couldn't the Big Brother producers give us a cast with heart, brains, courage, and dignity? Yes, in early weeks Julie Chen said that "those that go in with a pure and open heart" will get farther in the game. When is this going to happen, at the end? It will be too late.

Today, the producers need to ask themselves how to improve the game and get the airheads and monotonous personalities (with no intellectual grain in them) evicted.

Please, I want to be able to watch the Big Brother 24/7 Live Feeds without pulling out my hair and gouging my eyes. Well, I guess my French saying comes into play here: "C'est La Vie!" (That's life!)

 THE DAILY SCOOP™

Volume 2, Issue 10

By James m. (Friday, July 23, 2004 – Day 22 in BB House)

[WARNING: Possible Spoilers follow…]

I would grade last night’s Big Brother 5 episode as an A -.

Julie wore ruffles last night. She looked great!

The Four Horsemen are planning to get rid of Marvin next week. Michael suggested that Karen and Diane would be put up for next week. Diane told Karen that if her alliance gets HoH, they would put up Drew and Jase because no one wants to see Drew go.

Karen and Lori have a conversation in front of Michael that the evil and ruthless people need to leave and stop having others ride their backs. Marvin said that Michael is a "softie." Holly told Karen that she is safe; Karen was still very frightened. Lori kept going back and forth about being evicted, which added to Karen’s anxiety. Marvin: "It's too close to call."

Time to check in with the HGs - Jase said that the PoV meeting wasn't too hard of a decision because he was all "liquored up." Will told Julie that he had noticed there is a lot of free time in the house and they find a lot of new things to do, like cut Jennifer's hair. Diane said that what she missed most of the outside world was her car.

Adria and Natalie have so far switched six times and the process is very nerve-racking.

In the Diary Room, Jase said that Lori is like him, a high threat. Diane wanted Lori to stay. Michael, too, wants Lori to stay. Diane votes to evict Karen. (This was not expected on my part; although, I did predict that the vote might become split, but I never thought Diane would vote against Karen.)

Back to the twins - Adria and Natalie's family said that they have always been able to pull off the switch. Even their mother is often fooled. Adria is more straight-edged, said one of her family members. Adria's husband has gotten frustrated because of how people have talked behind Adria's back. Adria's husband also said that they better watch out because after a while, they have easily-noticed differences.

Marvin told Julie, in the HoH Room, that he was angry when Jase used the PoV on Holly because he wanted Holly out. He also said that his job helped him, in the house, because he can deal with people at their worst. Marvin said that he trusts no one. He said that he would like to see Scott win the HoH competition moments away. "He is pure and crazy," Marvin said, describing Scott.

Back in the DR (Diary Room), Jennifer said that Karen has a few flaws, especially her emotional side. Scott saw Karen as a big threat in the beginning. Lori is very humorous and attractive, Scott said. Drew said that Lori staying would be an eye-opener.

In the kitchen, Michael asked Will if he crossed dressed. Will said that just because he is gay doesn't mean that he wants to be a woman. Will said how hard it was to live in the Big Brother house. Lori, Karen, and Will are best friends because they went into the house with the attitude that they don't want to sacrifice their values/morals. "It's not fare. It's not right," Karen said, talking about how the mean and evil Horsemen are getting ahead in the game. Will told Drew and Michael that he would vote with the group, even though they both don't deserve to leave.

Karen said to her fellow HGs, during last night’s LIVE show that she doesn't want to leave the house, but she is proud to sit next to someone so cool. Julie: "Well said." Lori said that the experience was amazing and that she was surprised to meet so many new friends so fast.

Back to the DR - Will: "Karen is a great listener." Holly said that she thinks it is selfish for Lori to want to stay. Will: "I vote to evict Karen." What?! (Gees, I again didn't predict this to happen. Where is my good luck in predicting going? Maybe this house isn't so predictable after all. I hope only means that Lori is getting a few sympathy votes. Well, let's just see how predictable the HoH Competition is.)

Okay so now I really HATE my local CBS station. They had to break in with a weather alert right when Big Brother 5 was coming back on air. I did check the Official Website for info on how the voting went down, but they can't just break in during the commercial breaks. It wasn't anything severe, either. They will be getting another letter from me (this happened last year too, but it wasn't during the live show.)

With a 7-2 vote, Lori was evicted (I found out later.) Diane and Will threw sympathy votes, or something like that. Marvin: "Karen, you're safe. Lori, you're not." Marvin said even though Lori was already gone.

Lori told Julie in her post-eviction interview that she wanted Jase to leave instead of her. Michael said, in the video, that she is like a sister. Karen said that Lori has been great. Scott: "Lori you were seen as a threat." (I really don’t like that guy.) Will: "I will win [this game] in your honor." Lori said that she loves Will. She also said that in the game it is very hard to be honest and nice. Adria and Natalie said goodbye to Lori. Lori was VERY surprised and ecstatic and couldn't believe it. She said that no one expected or even knows about a twin twist. (You can talk to Lori on '"Housecalls: The Big Brother Talk Show" at CBS.com today at 1pm.)

HoH Competition Time, a.k.a. Time that Will needs to win HoH (I Hope) - I love the HoH logo that was in the center of the backyard. Julie asked the HGs about each other and the house. If they think the number (which pertains to the question) Julie gave is higher than that number, they step up, and vice versa.

The following were the questions asked during the competition:

How many of the current HGs are married? Higher or Lower than 3? Answer: Lower. Holly, Scott, and Diane are wrong and out.

How many nights have you spent in the Big Brother House? H/L than 19? Answer: Higher (20 nights). Will is wrong and out.

How many HGs have attended college? H/L than 9? Answer: Higher. Drew is the new HoH; everyone else got it wrong.

DARN-IT. Wow, all the HGs are stupid. Jase looked VERY happy. Drew said that he was really nervous. Julie asked, "What's ahead for the house since Drew is HoH?" I can tell you: pain and suffering. Drew should nominate Jase and Holly; that would be funny.

Julie checked in with the HGs since the game was very short. Drew said that he got lucky. Julie made a joke saying that he had to name all eleven HGs that went to college. Marvin said that he had no advice for Drew. Karen said that her advice for Drew was "don't put Karen up." Karen said that she hasn't slept and has been really stressed. When Julie said Karen's name during the eviction process (to say that she was safe), it was very innerving. Drew said that he looked forward to sleeping with Scott in a dark room and getting pictures from home.

Drew was really smiling. When Julie said congratulation, Drew was wondering what was going on and he won, then took off his mask.

PREDICTIONS…

Let’s see. Everyone in the house has no chance to live. They should just kill Jase and Scott, the main troublemakers. That would be great TV. Next nominees: I guess Marvin and Diane. Maybe. Who knows?

THE CURRENT SCOOP…

Week Three: HoH – Drew; Nods – we’ll know tonight; POV – we’ll know on Saturday; more to come in tomorrow’s edition (the nomination ceremony will have happened). Bye for now.
