8/16/03 10 pm Hgs are just relaxing, some n the hot tub, some inside.  A bit earlier Jun & Ali agreed to team up (something they had discussed Wednesday - who knows how serious each of them is).  Robert is in a very good mood, smiling and laughing, seems like the letter really cheered him up.

8:00 pm Robert got the America's Choice - a letter from his daughter. He was very moved, cried a lot, but happy tears.  Being he is the only parent in the house with a young child I am really happy he got it, I voted for him :)

5:40 pm Jun cuts Jee's hair.

3:00 pm a pretty slow Saturday in the BB House:

2:45 pm Its a PB & J day in the BB house - They HGs were told a bit earlier about the America's Choice.  One HG will get a letter from home later today.  SO several HGs are a bit emotional at the prospect - and BB has been asking them about it in the Diary Room.  Jun and Erica have both shed some tears, and Robert says it will 'stink' either way.  If he gets it he will be upset and if he doesn't he will be upset. 

Erica and Robert had a conversation where they told each other that they were the next ones up if the got HoH (meaning Erica/Jack would nominate Robert and Jee/Robert would nominate Erika).  It seems to be assumed Jun will not use the veto and Justin will be evicted. Added Note: These two seem to have patched up a lot of their differences over the last couple of days and I would not be surprised if CBS took the footage and implied a romance was re-kindling - but its not.

8:30 am  All the HGs sound asleep.

12:15 am It appears Jun won the POV.  The competition involved several cameras. The details are still a bit unclear.  It was an individual competition, they each took turns and Jun had the fastest time.  Robert and Alison felt Jun may have cheated but the others don't.  No discussion on if she would use it but I suspect she won't.  The HGs are on PB&J today but since the Veto competition took so long (4+ hours) they were allowed to have a late-night snack. 

10:15 pm The POV competition began about 2 hours ago and we have had the "FOTH" ever since.  Foth= Front of the house with a one minute loop of the BB Theme Music.  I will make up a BBIV FOTH simulation in the next week or two for those of you without the feeds, I did the same thing for BB2 & BB3 and you can view them in the pages I set up for thse shows.

7 pm The POV competition will be at 8 pm or so BB time.

Going into the competition Jee made it clear to Erika that he mis-understood the "agreement" reached before he quit the HoH competition. Apparently Erika/Jack/Ali felt the agreement included NOT using the Veto if it was won.  Jee didn't think he was included.  His solution was to ask Erika to make sure he didn't win it.

Afternoon/early evening.  Robert apparently told Jun off - said she cannot "come back to our side" - he and pretty much everyone else want her gone next - or so it seems (Although Jack/Erica said they would prefer to get rid of Jee next last night - so who really knows).  Robert has gone as far to say that he would be happy with anyone BUT Jun winning.  What has Jun done to suffer such rath?  Nothing.  And I mean nothing as in not really playing the game in the "Jee3's" opinion.  She has played a pretty good game if you ask me, but since its now coming to the end she is one of the odd folks out - no strong alliance.

1:25 pm Robert and Justin are nominated.

10 am Hgs are getting up - not much happened after the food competition last night there was talk and some minor plotting by Jack and Erika but nothing worth mentioning.  Nominations will take place some time today, exactly when I can't say.

8 pm No nominations yet - but the Hgs finally prepare for the food competition.  it seems to be a Hawaian theme.  Each HG is competing for a day of the week.  I think they will be eating different foods, no details yet.  As far as nominations go - it will be Justin and Robert whenever it happens.

Hgs wait for the food challenge.

3:05 pm Robert is mad at Jun - wants her out he says - also says he will vote for her to win over Ali (he then said he would vote for anyone to win over Jun).  Justin agrees.  They are very mad at her for leaving the HoH competition, they feel she worked a deal.  The Jee3 keep talking to themselves about how they feel that Jun needs to go next - if not this week then next week.  Justin defends Ali a bit (the other "floater") - says at least she has competed - Jee says that Jun's strategy has been the kitchen.

2:45 pm  A slow slow day so far - food competition might be around 6pm they think.  Nominations after that perhaps.  Not as much of a rush this week since the TV show is not on until Saturday.  Justin and Robert seem ok with being nominated (and expect to be). They think if one of them or Jee gets the veto that Erika would nominate Jun and they would have the votes to evict her (they assume Ali will vote with them).  Meanwhile Jun thinks after evictions that she and Ali will team up so there would be 3 teams of two.  Jun also suggests an all girl final 3 - and Ali thinks its a good idea, Erika says 'go for it' - then Erika tells Jack right away - they will keep the idea going to pull Jun to their side.

Ali and Jun - discuss a 3 girl alliance.	Erika tells jack about Jun/Ali's suggestion.	Robert, Jee watch Justin	Justin talks with the other members of the "Jee3" about nominations.

10:30 am Jack and Erika are plotting in their bedroom.  But its the kinda stuff that makes my head hurt - the overanalyzing - the "what ifs" that keep them going for hours.  I mean - they are assuming Justin will be gone, so all the plotting is for the following week - which never seems to go as planned.  So to keep it simple.. they think they will most likely go after Robert next, if Justin goes this week.

9 am - All the hgs still snoozing.

7:40 am All the house is asleep, not much happened after the end of the HoH competition.  The hgs ate and then went off to bed eventually.  From conversations between Erika and Jack it will indeed be Justin and Robert that are nominated.  Erika is not sleeping in the HoH room, she is in her same old bed, she said the HoH room would be too quiet.  Food competition and the nominations will take place today.  Justin and Robert have been handling it well and seem to have no grudge against Jee or each other for the way things went.

1:20 am Jee comes out next, then Ali, Erika wins HoH - it all happened within 3 minutes.  Jee is hurting, Justin is taking it well.

1:15 am after some more plotting Jack leaves.  Justin seemed to be watching everything so I am sure he saw all the whispering.  It looks like Jee may allow Erika to win.

1:10 am All four still in the cage, and it seems no one is leaving. 
This is my last update tonight.  I predict Jack or Erica will get it.  Jack will let Erika have it if it is between them.

12:30 am So much for the agreement.  No one has left and Jee says he is not sure if he can go through with it - ALi says she is good, as do Jack and Erika.  Jack talks about being on surveillance in the past and how he can handle this.  Jee's back is hurting him.  Erika and Jack massage each other.

11:30 pm - Jun leaves after more promises that she is safe.  The remaining players try to talk Jee into leaving - but he is not going yet.  They say they will put up Justin & Robert....  But Jee is still staying.  Talk of making it "look good" for Jee - let him stay a bit longer.  Robert comes back out - he has a very bad migraine. 

11:18 pm Robert says he is done - and leaves - runs to the bathroom.  Much to Jee's dismay.

11:10 pm Alison relieves herself.  They are all still in the cage. The girls are getting pretty slap-happy.  Jack lent Ali his shirt as he did with Jun - and Jee said that is just making things last longer.  He says they both would have been out now if Jack had not helped them out. BB has not really censored anything and the HGs seem to think its not being shown. 

10:15 pm Jun just relieved herself with the help of Jack who lent her his shirt to help cover herself.  Yes BB kind of showed her squatting on cam, from a distance.  Everyone is still in the cage.

9:30 pm All the HGs are still in the cage, it will be a long night.  Even though everyone tells Jun she is safe she won't leave.  She claims to have urinated on herself a bit.  Justin brought out food at BB's orders to tempt them and is now in the hot tub.  To me this is a bit unfair because Jack is taller than the others and must stoop.  But I suppose everyone has dis-advantages.  Jack can loop his elbows and hang a bit I think while the shorter HG's can't.

Nathan was evicted 5-0 and the Marathon "Cage match" HoH challenge began. The hgs are stuck in a cage and the last one to leave will be HoH. There are actually 3 cages - once can hold six HG's, one four, and the last two.  Once there are four HGs left they will move to the smaller one, and then when there are two they move to the smallest one.  They cannot step down to the ground, and if they close there eyes for 30 seconds or longer they will be disqualified for sleeping.

3:10 pm - Its been a pretty slow day - and as best as I can tell Nathan is going, though I would not swear to it.  Someone online spotted some type of "shed" being constructed out back and the HGs have been informed to wear comfortable clothes tonight.  They have also not been told when dinner is (usually 9pm) and they all suspect that the HoH comp will be an endurance test.  Robert commented that someone's knees are bad so he won't be able to stand a long time - to me this would seem to be Jack.  I expect nathan to go. Hgs killing time before the live show.

8:30 am - all is quiet in the BB house.  The HGs were all asleep by around 2:45 am.

Quadcam view of dozing 
HGs this morning.

Late night in the BB House..... Jack finally approached Justin to talk about evictions and both were pretty darn honest with each other.  Justin said he might keep Nathan if he felt the HoH competition was going to be tough, and Jack would not make Justin any promises not to nominate him if he stayed and won HoH.  As of now these are the two 'straightest shooters' in the game and they both have a lot of respect for each other.

Between 8 & 9 tonight Justin revealed to Jun that he and Dana had messed around a bit while she was in the house, more than Dana let on to Jun it seems. Jun proceeded to pass this tid-bit on to Ali and Erika.

7 pm Alison has cut Robert and Nathan's hair and shampood them both in the bathtub.  Erika and Jack are off sleeping and now Justin is makin "Guac" while the others stand around and gossip.  No real "game" talk since 4ish.

4 pm  Things have changed yet again.  Someone hit the stooges upside the head with the smart stick and they realized that they might lose Dana's vote if they kept Nathan.  They also pulled Jun in and she said what he promised to bring to the group was not anything special.  Dang, I was kinda hoping to see these guys throw a twist in and do the un-expected.  Then again elimination is still 24 hours away.

2:15 pm Now in the HoH - Justin and Nathan talk, joined later on by Robert - the way Nathan talks to them he implies he thinks Alison should be the next to go.

2:10 pm Alison is let in on the plan by Robert and Jee, she is all for it.  They talk to her about being in the final 4 - just as they had earlier talked to Nathan.

1:45 pm The "Jee3" call Nathan in and tell him their new plan, he promises to be loyal if he stays (this all hinges on the type of HoH competition). They tell him if it happens they are 'ditching' Jun and it will be Guys vs Girls.  Jun comes in and Justin tells half truths to her as they head off to lunch.

The Jee3 inform Nathan of the new plan.	Jun comes in and they don't fill her in completely.

1:30 pm Robert and Justin are feeling unsure about Jun's loyalties, and they have now decided that they might keep Nathan depending on they type of HoH competition.  They call Jee in and he agrees. They feel they will know if it is physical based on rehersal tommorow and if it is they will keep him.  If it is simply mental they will vote him out.  They plan on letting Alison in on this idea.

12:00 pm Justin calls all of the Hgs into the living room and told them they could now discuss the live voting, there was no big reaction - they even had kind of discussed it earlier.  Justin told them at 1st that there would be a new HG - now THAT got a reaction, but he quickly said he was teasing.

11:45 am Jun and Alison talking in bed in the red room, Jun seems to be feeling Alison out on a potential alliance, it was very tentative, but she talked about how she felt like the odd person out with the "Jee3" and how solid Jack/Erica are.

11:30 am The Hgs think they HoH competition will be a long/endurance one unlike the quick ones they have had before.  Jun makes a comment about the "Live Votes" so it seems the HGs are aware of it now. 

Nathan outside 
this morning

10:30 am Justin confirms to Alison that Nathan is still going, Jun and Jack can't believe the voting has not started yet (so they apparently are still not aware that the voting is live)..

9 am Big Brother gave the HGs a wake-up call.

The last couple of night Justin submerged himself in the hot tub and used the jet tubs to breathe - freaking out many a net viewer and it seems some of the houseguests.  He spent almost 10 minutes underwater and would have continued but BB finally told him to knock it off.

3:10 pm Jun seems to warn Jack via Erika to be careful what he says in the HoH room, not to mess up because Nathan is still going.  Meanwhile Alison is in the HoH room coaching the Jee3 on potential questions for the HoH competition.  Something she never has done with them, a sure sign she has jumped ship.  She really does want them to win HoH.  Lastly Jun and Nathan discuss Alison and how she is playing people - jumping ships.  He explains to her as well that he has no aliances now.

2:30 pm Nathan is trying to save his skin, he has approached the "Jee3 +Jun" and proposed throwing all his alliance over to them in exchange for staying another week.  But in the end they have decided (for now) to kick him out.  Jee wasn't sure, Jun seemed to be the one pushing to have him out.  Nathan made his proposal to the guys, but Jun came in after and they filled her in once Nathan was gone.

Morning - Jack approached Jun about her and Jee aligning with him and Erika,Jun humored him and later on told Justin/Robert/Jee everything.  But it did show them jack was willing to try anything.

3:15 pm  The "Jee3 + Jun" are already planning for next week. They figgure as long as Jack and Erika don't win HoH they are safe.  Justin is planning on talking to Alison later today and telling her they (the "j3") wil vote out Jun if Alison puts her up - even if it is against Jack - they are concerned she will put up one of them against Jun.  if they can get her to nominate Jun & Jack then they will vote out Jack and Alison will not be able to get HoH.  She will know Justin lied to her but it will be too late.  Justin has filled in everyone in his group, including Jun on this idea.

12:45 pm No big surprise, Robert did not use the POV.

7:30 am All HGs fast asleep, today the POV Meeting will be held and Robert won't use it.  Actually not a whole lot will go on in the house until Wednesday since the voting will be live on the show this week.
