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 Number One
rated daytime drama, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, will open its stage doors

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

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

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.

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.

Nods – Adria / Natalie (formerly Jennifer) and Holly; POV – Jennifer (used

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.

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.

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!)

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.
