Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 4:39 pm Wednesday August 13th Live Feed Summary
The 3 Stooges are on the patio eating sandwiches and talking to Nate. He suspects they might ”pull a Michelle” on him and vote him out. Justin tells him they haven’t totally made a decision yet. All four of them complain about the women. The 3 women seem like 10 in the small house.
Jun and Jee have a conversation in the HOH room. Jack does not respect the way Justin has been acting. Jee agrees that Justin and Robert have been acting too cocky.
Justin talks to Erica and explains that they are waiting to see what the HOH competition will be before deciding who goes. Justin wants to keep Nate for a physical competition because he isn’t certain Jee and Robert can win. Erika repeats this to Jack who goes to the HOH to have a talk with Justin. Justin tells him that he thinks BB gave them an extra day to do the live votes to give them time to think about saving Nate. Justin tries to get Jack to promise not to nominate him but Jack does not give in. He says he considers Justin a worthy opponent and promises him a fun game. They talk about how Jun has switched sides and floats to whichever group has power but has not paid the same price as Dana. Jack leaves on good terms with Justin but has not made any promises.
Alison comes to the HOH room to see what has been going on. Justin tells her he likes the way Jack is playing the game. He is direct and admits that he wants to take out strong players like Justin. Justin also knows that Nate will be loyal for at least a week if they save him.
Everyone gets some sleep. They wake up thinking about the upcoming HOH competition. Erika is worried it will involve eating bugs. Jack says he can eat anything. After breakfast they are in lockdown outside for a while. Not much happens other than lots of card playing.
Jack and Erika spend a lot of the afternoon talking. Erika thinks the three stooges want to take her to the finals. They talk about trying to recruit Jee and failing because he just wasn’t ready. They wonder if everyone will be together while they are sequestered and able to talk to each other. Erika says she would leave for $20,000 but thinks that BB won’t offer it because they need someone in a bikini around the house. Of course they could solve that problem by leaving Nate in the house and coming up with lots of competitions that involve wearing Speedos. I wouldn’t mind.
Alison and Nate spend some time together. He tells her if he goes she knows what she has to do. (Get Justin out.) He asks if she is going to give him a sympathy vote and she says she doesn’t think he is going, however Nate has a feeling he will be evicted. In fact he even wears thongs for the live show instead of tennis shoes for the HOH competition as instructed by BB.
Everyone primps. Alison asks Erika to come pop her eyes. I get excitited anticipating watching Erika smack her in the face but no, it’s only applying makeup. The live show begins and the feeds are all FOTH. Nathan is evicted 5-0 (breaking Bunny’s heart).
The houseguests go outside for the HOH competition and we see what Bunny has really been up to all day. (Computer virus? I think not! Bunny has had a paw in the HOH competition.) There are 3 hutches (cages) set up in the yard. Jun calls out to Alison that there are cages in the back yard and they will be cage dancing. Justin wisecracks that each of them have to give him a lap dance to compete for HOH. Now this should be good. I want to see Jack give Justin a lap dance. But no, we’re going to have a long uncomfortable endurance competition.
The houseguests are told that they will all start by standing in the largest cage facing outward. The bottom of it is not solid it’s a large grid. No one is allowed to sit, sleep or let their feet fall through and touch the ground. After two of them give up or break a rule the remaining four will move on to the next cage, which is smaller. After two more give up or break the rules the final two will advance into the smallest cage. Last one standing wins HOH.
They have only been in the cage for 25 minutes when Alison asks if anyone is willing to start dealing. Poor baby! I stand on my feet for 8-hour shifts at work yet she’s ready to make deals after less than an hour? Jun is the only one to reply and says only if she is safe during nominations and the veto. Throughout the competition I get a chuckle as they assume they have been in the cages much longer than they really have.
About an hour into the competition Justin is called to take a lot of food out of the storage room and taunt the others with it. Nobody gives in. Later Erika says that if they guys will leave the cage the girls will put on a show for them. Alison says “Yeah. A little girl-on-girl action. None of the guys move.
Two hours have passed. Robert looks very uncomfortable and is not chatting with the others. Jun has to pee. She thinks she peed herself a little. The others try to convince her that she is safe and can leave but she stays put. This begins a long tiring period listening to Jun talking about how she has to pee. The others take great delight in making running water sounds.
Three hours into the competition and almost all talk is about urination. Jun really has to go now. She is uncomfortable with being the first one to do so. Jack suggests she go to the middle of the cage and the others will stand around her. She says she would prefer to be at the edge. Alison and Jee are getting testy. They want her to leave the cage and go to the restroom and are very vocal about it. She lasts another 20 or so minutes before covering her butt with Jack’s shirt and relieving herself. Jack’s shirt gets a little damp but he puts it back on. Jee is not happy and continues to say she should have left the cage. Jun replies that she is going to pee in every cage and calls out “don’t you want to go have a cigarette” to Jee.
The houseguests are complaining that this competition is going to last all night. Big Brother announces that that the food competition will be tomorrow morning and they all yell “Shut up!” in unison. Other than that not much is said.
Four hours have passed and now Alison can’t hold it much longer. They don’t think that this competition is being shown on the internet. It never fails to amaze me that they still believe that anything that isn’t flattering won’t be on the internet. By now screen caps of both Alison and Jun are probably on some fetish porn site. Jee almost loans Alison his shirt but Jun gives him such a hard time he doesn’t do it. Jack offers his shirt once again. Alison asks everyone to sing and make noise so she can go. They all sing “la la la la la la la Alison is peeing” until she finishes. Poor Jack puts his even damper shirt back on.
It’s now about 11:20 BB time and Robert says he is not going to stay in the cage all night. He goes to the bathroom and takes some aspirin. He has a migraine. He sits with Justin and talks. They believe they will be the ones nominated. Robert sums up the others. Jee is strong and has been leaning on his back to ease his feet. Jack looks like he might go at any time. Erika slept all day and may do well. Jun and Ali have relieved themselves and are stronger now. They talk about how Erika and Jack are trying to get the others to leave by cutting deals.
Inside the cage the others are plotting. Erika promises Jun and Jee they will be safe if they leave. Jee is upset. Erika asks if it is because the other two left him holding the bag. Jun is going to leave and tell Robert and Justin that she did so because she is safe. They promise her that she is safe even with the veto and she leaves the cage. The four left in the big cage move to the smaller one. Jack and Erika both talk about how they can stand for 8 hours and have done so at work.
Five hours and Jack and Erika are working on Jee. They tell him that Robert and Justin will not take him to the finals because they cannot beat him. Jee asks for her opinion and Alison also thinks they will not take him to the finals. Jee is in pain but won’t leave unless he can be in the final two. Jack and Alison agree that Jee can be in the final cage with Erika. Then Alison says she can’t just walk out of the cage she will have to “break something first.” Jee says that can happen they could break her ankle. I know better than to get excited this time. They never seem to follow through with bodily injury to Alison.
An hour passes and neither Alison nor Jee make a move to leave. Jack finally leaves and joins Justin on the patio to watch the rest of the competition. About 20 minutes later Allison whispers to Jee and then he leaves. Alison and Erika move to the smallest cage. Alison agrees to leave the cage first knowing she will be safe from nomination and Erika is the new HOH.
