Bunny Tales
August 9,2001
BB starts off Thursday morning with the key assignment for the HOH challenge. Each HG must pick a color. Will picks green, Nicole blue, Krista pink, Monica orange. BB says that leaves yellow for Bunky. "Yes, purple will be fine," says Bunk. I am hoping BB provides them with hair dye to match their keys, or at least lipstick and nail polish.
The HGs draw for play order, and Nicole is placed first. She doesn't like that and wants to know if they can change places. BB says no, but then recants and allows the HGs to switch places. Nicole puts herself fourth. Will will go first, then Monica, then Krista. Bunky follows Nicole. (Some things never change.)
Nicole takes Bunky aside to reiterate again that he MUST win HOH. Bunky hasn't felt this much pressure since his parents tried to scare him straight.
Nicole cooks breakfast and hands Monica a plate. Monica says she will save hers for later because her stomach is upset and she can't eat.
Hardy finds Nicole alone in the kitchen and Nicole tells him that Monica said she was rude and "had a heart attack" because Nicole gave her pancakes. I know that fattening foods can lead to heart attacks, but I don't think this is what Nicole meant.
Julie rehearses the key challenge with the HGs. Will and Bunky continue to practice. Bunky is a master at sliding his in to the end.
Will asks Bunky if he can have some of his Metamucil. Bunky says yes, "a teaspoon should do you. If I don't take it, I get hemorrhoids." An image flashes in my mind of BB50: the Nursing Home version.
Banner time: ASK KR J+KNIFE. Krista says she has no clue what this means. I guess her memory just cut out on her.
Nicole is straightening Krista's hair with Monica watching. Krista asks for a banner from Boogie. Monica tells her to stop talking about "stupid banners." Krista accuses Monica of being her mother rather than her friend.
Monica: "Oh yeah? I'm not gonna be a friend to you because I'm not gonna sit here and listen to you talk about the banners all f*cking day?" Krista: "Maybe I need to talk about it. Maybe it helps me." And maybe it helps put some money in Chicken George's pocket, too. So there.
He asks Krista if she is worried about HOH. She says no, only if Bunky gets it. However, she IS worried that there are banner planes flying and she's missing them all. The girl who gets more negative banners than anyone wants to see more. Go figure.
Nicole has been in the Diary Room complaining about the key game. (Because it makes it harder for her to throw HOH?). BB informs her that it levels the playing field.
Bunky and Krista talk.
Krista: "Have I tried to control you?"
Bunky: "You can tell me what you think, but don't tell me what to do."
Krista: "But you don't get into arguments anymore."
Bunky: "You told me not to, so I didn't. Now you fuss because I don't."
Krista: "That's not what I meant. If the argument doesn't concern you, shhh....but if it does, get in there. I'm not trying to control you."
Bunky: "Thanks for the concern, but from here on I think I can handle it."
Backbone Alert! Bunky found one, and just like Dorothy in Oz, he had it all along. Now, if he could just find some glittery red shoes to go with it.
New banner: Woofybears.com love Bunky. Head there first, Bunk, when you need financing for your line of Bunky Bears. I promise to purchase one if it's super fuzzy and comes with a removable cape and bow.
New banner: KILL WILL SITE IS UP B DA BOY. Hardy thinks the banner is from a friend of his - obviously one of limited intelligence since he is promoting murder on a banner.
It's almost time for the Live Show and Krista isn't ready. Nicole tells her to forget about her hair - "You're not even dressed yet." She tells Hardy to pick up his towel. She nags at Will about finishing the windows. Meet Hell's Donna Reed.
Kent is evicted by a unanimous vote of 4-0. Bunky, Bunky, Bunky, where dost thou loyalty goest? Everyone in TV land wanted your love story to end with a lone vote for your man and a tearful kiss goodbye.
Hardy thanks someone named Rosie for the banner she sent him. I ponder what it would be like for Hardy to shout my name to the world. "Bunny, don't let the bastards get you down. Bunny, actions speak louder than words. Bunny, you're my honey." I pick the third one.
Nicole is the new HOH (Headmistress of Heathens, Hunks, Homos, and Hogs - not to mention Hair Catastrophes). I'm sure her list of Wants will include Carpet Fresh, Pledge, and massage oil for Hardy. Something tells me she'll forget about hair barrettes and Cover-All Body Paint, however.
Tonight is Will's meal of choice. He picks sushi. The fact that he chooses something slimy does not escape me. After all, you are what you eat.
Nicole wants to talk to each HG individually before she decides who to nominate. She brings Krista into the HOH room. "Who do you think I should nominate?" Krista answers Bunky but cannot think of another person. Nicole says she may nominate Krista and Monica, and that Monica will have to go.
Krista tears up at the thought of Monica leaving the house. "Nicole, she's my friend!" Krista gets an iota of redemption from Bunny for showing loyalty to her friend, as did Mike when he refused Hardy's immunity offer.
Nicole tells Krista that she, Will, and Hardy have made a pact to make sure Krista wins the game. This poor strategy move falls into the category of "Nicole, This Will Probably Come Back to Bite You in the A**."
It's Monica's turn to enter the Dungeon of Doom. "Who do you think I should nominate?" Monica answers Bunky and Will. Nicole says she may nominate Krista and Monica. Monica says, "The black girl's not gonna win and that's that." Oh, Monica, don't be silly. You have much to offer to the BB house. You give kudos to the often-maligned color orange, you are a testament to the durability of patio furniture, and you speak several foreign languages.
Nicole tells of the plan to push Krista to the top to win. Monica says she is tired of hearing that everyone wants Krista to win. I am tired of hearing it, too, Monica, since it's a big, fat, hairy lie.
Now it's time for the Bunky Suck-up Hour. Nicole gives Bunky a reprieve this week, and he is eternally grateful. Eternally. Nicole has just bought herself a lap dog for the duration of her existence on Earth. She tells Rover to pretend he doesn't know that she is going to nominate Krista and Monica.
The two you-don't-know-it-yet-but-you're-getting- nominated people are in the hot tub. Krista says she is skeptical about the so-called pact to take her to the top. She doesn't know if she can trust what Nicole says. Monica tells Krista, "She's loyal to you, baby. She wants you to win." Insert cringing here.
Will lets Hardy in on a conversation he had with Krista. She wanted to know who Will would nominate if he were to get HOH. Will answered that he didn't know. "Krista said, 'What would Shannon want you to do?'" Hardy is stunned at the news that Krista wants him nominated and decides that he will no longer push for her to win.
Nicole tells Bunky that all the others wanted him nominated.
Nicole: They think you are someone that you aren't. (Translation: They think you are smart and cunning.)
Bunky: How do I prove who I am? (Translation: I am not the sub-genius they think I am, and I want them to know it so they'll love me. Just love me!)
Nicole: The only thing that matters is that I believe you.
Bunky: I feel like a loser because I haven't won anything.. I can't win any of these games.
Nicole: You don't have to tell me this. (Translation: I know you're a loser. But stick with me and Mama will help you cope with it.)
Nicole tells Bunky to nominate Hardy if he gets HOH next time. And if you don't, Bunky, Mama will have to ground you. Oh, okay, spank you, then.
Monica and Krista are in the hot tub. Monica says, "I knew even before I spoke to Nicole. I know how everything is going to go down. I was just biding my time, trying to get HOH so I could get one more week here. That's how it rolls. I know me outside of here and I know me inside here. I know what I'm talking about." At least someone does.
"It's just a feeling I have, I could be wrong. It's just a feeling, I don't have proof, but it's just a feeling I have. That's not a bad thing, I know baby, that's not a bad thing. I don't want you to think that's not impossible 'cause it's possible. You have to understand people.." I'm trying, folks, I'm trying.
"It's tricky, very tricky. It's not tricky but um.. it's tricky, it's tricky. I don't know how to verbalize it." Well, admitting that you have a problem is half the battle. Even when it's tricky.
"You want to play games? It's on now." (Who pulled the string on the Monica doll?)
Hardy is very upset at Will's revelation that Krista wants him out. He runs to Nicole with the news - "I can't believe she was going to sell me down the river" - and asks her if Krista will be nominated. She tells him it will be Monica and Krista.
Nicole tells him the pact story she told Krista. Hardy is not pleased about this. "Why did you tell her that?" Nicole replies that it was the only way to keep Krista "from freaking out." Hardy: "I wish you hadn't promised that to her."
Hardy tells Nicole that he had wanted Krista to win, but now he would be worried about her having that much money. "She's too unstable." Besides that, moonshine is cheap.
Hardy tells Nicole to nominate him - he doesn't want to play the game anymore. "I want to go home. I don't really care anymore, I want to go home." (I would advise you to recuperate a while at Bunny's first.)
Hardy joins Krista and Monica in the hot tub. Hardy says, "I honestly don't want to be here anymore." He says he knows that if Will had won HOH, he would have been evicted. Krista says she would have evicted Bunky; Monica would have gone after Nicole.
Hardy says, "Bring us alcohol!" Isn't that Krista's line?
Will tries to convince Nicole that Krista needs to stay in the house because she will be more fun. He wants to know what Nicole thinks about Krista and Boogie. Bunny thinks they have alot in common. Krista loves booze; Boogie has a bar. You don't get a better match than that.
Hardy lets go of the Good Samaritan role and decides he will begin to play the game for himself rather than for Krista to win. "I went through so much s*** and I'm going to have to go through so much more s*** and I'll be damned if I am going through it for someone else. If I have to stay here, I'm playing for me in the end."
Hardy says he can't respect a mother who has taken drugs and talks about it on TV and the internet. He tells Krista that America's Sweetheart shouldn't be talking about rolling and getting high. Krista compares the number of times she has rolled to Nicole's record. Hardy says he gets high every day but he's not a parent. I'm thinking there needs to be an intervention done on these people while we have them held hostage.
Krista tells Hardy that she doesn't party as much as he thinks she does. She says she only goes out three times a month - every Wednesday and Saturday. I'm thinking that the powers-that-be must have decreed a new calendar while I wasn't looking because there are alot more Wednesdays and Saturdays on the present one.
Hardy cautions her to be aware of how she's being perceived - people "out there" are watching. Yes, and someone is probably doing a study on the correlation between frequent drug use and one's desire to be part of a reality television show.
Krista tells Nicole that she doesn't want to be nominated. (Well, duh!) I want to tell Krista to save her breath because HOH means Hard of Heart where Nicole is concerned.
Krista also tells Will, "I'm not f'in' cool with being nominated." Will tells her he will vote for Monica to leave.
Will confesses to Nicole that he made up the ratings mumbo-jumbo concerning the number 307. I want to thank Will for that amusing bit of drama. Seeing the looks on the faces of these people who are "just in it for the social experience," and who are "keeping it real," and who "just want to go back home to the old life," was a nice little shake-em-up.
Krista tells Nicole that if she's nominated, Nicole will go next. Nicole warns Krista not to threaten her, and tells her that Hardy told her to nominate Krista. (Yeah, yeah, it's always the man's fault. Don't hate him because he's beautiful.)
Krista insists that Nicole put up Hardy. Nicole refuses. She says she has everyone's votes in her hands. Krista says that Will will want to keep her in because "he knows Boogie loves me and he can't be Boogie's roommate if he screws me." It depends on what you mean by "screw."
Krista tells Will that if she gets nominated, she will walk out. Since she usually attends nominations in a towel, I'm wondering if she'll take the time to get dressed first.
Will tells everyone that he has been a liar from the beginning of the game. How refreshing to finally hear someone speak the truth.
Krista is frustrated with Will because he won't try to talk Nicole into nominating Hardy or Bunky. She is also upset with him for passing along her secrets to other HGs. Krista says she "can't take the bulls***" and threatens to take a Voluntary Exit. Oh, no, not the old Voluntary Exit bluff again.
Will says he is trying to play the evil doctor role but everyone is outdoing him. He wonders if he should beat the pig in order to get some negative publicity. (If you time it right, maybe. But if it's done on pb&j day, you'll be a friggin' hero.)
More tomorrow.
