On Wednesday night, Amanda decides to confront Nathan about why he nominated her. "It's game strategy. I was feeling threatened by you. I think you're a great person." Amanda: "I know it was hard for you and I don't want it to seem like I'm coming down on you. But I'm confused. You said I couldn't be trusted but it's only been a week and I haven't done any strategizing yet." You also didn't follow the Golden Bathrobe into the HOH room and onto the bed either.
Nathan: "Maybe I should have used different words." Amanda: "It was just the trust thing that bugged me. I wasn't shocked to be put up." Nathan: "You're not out yet." Amanda asks why he feels threatened by her. He says it was just a gut feeling (and who could doubt that gut?) "It's still not over for you. You may come back and put ME on the block!" (If you do, Amanda, please be gentle.)
Meanwhile, Scott is telling some of the others how he and Amanda met (at a restaurant through a friend) and when it was he first fell in love with her ("I remember thinking 'I'm just so in love with this girl!'") - AND - get ready for Scott's Sweet Hallmark Moment of the Day - how he proposed to her after sprinkling the floor with rose petals. [Insert collective sigh.]
Jun and Dana want to target Scott for eviction. Dana says, "I can't even stand the sound of his voice." Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Bunny has to get out a New Jersey translation dictionary every time Dana appears on the live feeds.
Today's Revelations:
(1) Erika broke up with Robert because he cheated on her. (You mean TWO women wanted this guy?)
(2) Erika is mother to five dogs. That's right, five. (Count 'em, Jee.) She brags that they are all perfectly trained. Too bad she couldn't work the same magic on Robert.
(3) Dana says she refuses to wear a bra because they aren't comfortable. I'm surprised to hear that trainers haven't improved over the years.
(4) Michelle and Dana were both cheerleaders in high school. Jun was voted Class Clown. Nate was elected Most Handsome. Bunny was selected Most Likely to Trash People and Hide Behind the Internet.
Early Thursday morning, Jack is the first one up and we're treated to a glimpse of his skivvies. Black and sexy are they. I do believe that our Jack is the real Austin Powers. Only with better teeth.
Jack struts for a moment in his undies before realizing he's on camera - tall and tan and buff and lovely, the super secret agent goes walking, and when he passes, the girl he passes goes ahhhhhhh. The girl being Bunny, of course. Nate, take note.
Jack and Erika clean up the backyard and then sit down to enjoy the morning. Erika says she misses TV. Jack says he does, too, especially CNN. "I watch it to relax." Again, Jack is scoring the points with Bunny. While she whittles away the hours of her life on mindless fare like "Big Brother" and "America's Next Top Whatever," Jack relaxes by tuning in to important world events. I think I'm in love. And not because he's in the F.B.I. and can have me thrown overboard tied to a block of cement. No, I love him because he's smart - smart enough to know good television, smart enough to play a serious game of chess, and, most importantly, smart enough to stroll around the bathroom in sexy black briefs to get Bunny on his side.
Erika moves along on a cleaning spree - the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom - all in her bikini. No biggie. It's comfortable, it's photogenic, it's wash and wear. However, she's also wearing sunglasses. This does not compute. There's no possible way you'll spy every spick and speck of grease and grime. So what gives? A-ha! Light bulb moment! She realized yesterday that the polka dot theme just didn't cut the mustard, so now she's going for another signature look. The "I Wear My Sunglasses at Night - and Also Inside" look. I guess it beats the heck out of being known as Turtle Girl.
BB wakes up the remaining HGs and they all don swimsuits or workout clothes and head for the backyard. Black sock alert! A.k.a. the Gerry Factor. And wouldn't you know it? Just about the time I'm thinking about dumping Nathan for Justin, my new beau shows up in black socks and flip flops. That tattoo on his foot must bother him more than we know.
Alison drags a chair over by Nate and they waste no time dissing Scott.
Nate: "He's rude and disrespectful. To you, to me, to Jun, to everyone."
Alison: "I hate people like him."
Nathan: "I'm gonna punch on the punching bag later and pretend it's him. Pretend his face is on it. I'd break him in half outside this house." (How do you REALLY feel?)
Alison: "Hopefully a sniper will come in here and shoot him. I wish." (Yikes!)
Nathan: "People like that don't get ahead in the world." (But sometimes they win on game shows.)
The two say they have changed their minds about Erika. They like her now that she is beginning to warm up to people. I think her motto is still "Turtles First!" but you have to start somewhere.
Speaking of the critters, Erika prepares their food for the day and talks to Jack about trying to distinguish their personalities. HUH? Turtles with character traits? Erika, they have only one trait - SLOW! They're slackers - every last one of them.
In the afternoon, three of the HGs are strategizing: Amanda, Justin, and Alison. Amanda says she hates Scott. She says, "I'm going to ask BB to give him a penalty nomination because he was swinging a knife around last night." (Again, let me repeat. Get your OWN signature prop. Do not borrow from HGs of the past. ) Amanda goes on to say that she acts stupid around Scott. "He thinks I'm a complete idiot and don't know anything about the game."
Alison tells Justin that on the second night in the house, everyone wanted him to go. "I think if Erika or Jack gets HOH, they will put you or me up, or maybe Dana." Alison says if she won the Power of Veto, she would use it to save Justin. I say use it only if he promises to lose the black sock/flip flop combo.
Somehow Scott talks Jee into letting him cut his hair. Scott makes a mess of it and shaves most of it off. Jee screams for someone to help undo the damage. "I'm going to look like the biggest weiner! I can't go out anywhere!" Who wants to be the one to tell Jee that he's not going out anywhere, with or without hair? While you're at it, tell him the word "weiner" should have been left on the kindergarten playground. What's the Korean word for "hot dog?" Try that.
Dave finishes off Jee's haircut and visions of G.I. Elvis flood my head. Private Jee reporting for duty, sir. You'll find him hiding in his bedroom. Seriously, Jee won't come out and join the others on the patio. They wonder how long he'll stay in there. My guess is it will be long enough to shear the hair off his back and weave it into a wig.
The plasma screen in the living room is reflecting a message: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Too late for Jee.
While Jee barricades himself in the bedroom, Jun is discussing the price of pedicures and manicures. I really wasn't going to mention it, and now I wish I hadn't.
Alison asks Erika if Robert being in the house bothers her. Erika: "I really don't want to look at him." (I know, I know - the boy ought to burn that darn Flobee.) Alison says she thinks Dana is trying to hook up with Justin. "It's hard to watch it going on in front of my face, even if it's not mine anymore. It's weird." Erika: "I thought she liked Dave." I thought so, too, Erika, but I think the idea of a ladybug engagement ring got her thinking in another direction.
Erika tells Alison that Robert being in the house has an effect on her game. "It makes me feel crappy, not competitive." Meanwhile, the guys are talking about the girls. Dave: "I wouldn't date any of them, but Amanda's pretty cool." Scott: "I'd love a second chance." Dave asks what happened between them and Scott says he never wanted to go out because of his anxiety, and she declared him boring. Funny, but right now, Bunny's thinking you're the only one who's NOT boring!
But not "unboring" enough to keep her writing.
Hoppy trails,
