Have I mentioned that Jen changed her hair color? She decided to bleach it blonde, which can be done in only two steps. Unfortunately, she stopped at the first one, and is now the proud owner of tresses the color of pea soup. I'm sure she knows it's not going to be easy being green, but I guess she thought it wins hands down over being periwinkle.
You know, I like having this girl on the show. She provides a welcome relief from the "I'll have my agent call your agent" conversations. She talks about taking televisions apart and putting them back together. She quotes Jack Kerouac, or at least what sounds like Jack Kerouac. Her hair color parade lets me fiddle with the color adjustment knobs on my TV. Yet underneath the Gothic Beatnik Hiawatha surface, she's got the biggest hoo-hahs in the whole house.
BB wants to have the Veto ceremony first thing this morning, so the HGs prepare. There is talk of Scott using it to put Adria up on the block in Mike's place, but you and I both know that won't happen. Mike didn't work it enough. In fact, he didn't work it at all. He says he's a student of BB, yet he seems to have missed all the episodes where HGs tried to make deals with the HOH, which would have been practically all of them.
Drew has certainly been taking his vitamins because the kid never sits down now. He's playing golf, he's helping in the kitchen, he's standing up in the shower rather than sleeping in the tub. So now my only complaint about Drew is that his mother isn't there to dress him. Today he's wearing a purple shirt with red pants so bright that I must warn you to look away. One glance, and your eyes will burn for weeks.
The Veto ceremony takes place in the living room, where Scott, as predicted, doesn't use the Veto. I had heard that the rules were going to change - that you could use the power to veto things as well as people. I had high hopes that Scott would use it to veto Jen's skater jeans. She may be able to take a TV apart but Girlfriend can't dress.
Mike is sitting on the patio with Marvin. He tells Marvin that he's ready to go home. (Mike? MIKE?? Is he still here?)
Karen wants BB to give them a mixer so she can make a cake for Scott next week. Word has it that it's his birthday. I, for one, am really excited to hear this news. The older he gets, the less time he has on Earth. (Just kidding, people.)
Scott is talking to Mike outside.
Scott: There's nobody in Pittsburgh like me. I think my looks are going to get me discovered. Some producer is going to come up to me some day and say, "You're great. I want you to come and do some crazy s--- and I think you'd be good for it."
(Wait. There's more.)
Scott: The Playgirl thing. I'll get some huge publicity with that when I get out of the house. It's all about how much publicity you get, and I'm going to get a lot of it now."
(You do have a point.)
Marvin is still slamming out the one-liners. Best Line of the Day goes to him once again. He tells Mike, "One good thing I got going for me as a black man is that I won't age. I might get shot, but I won't age."
Mike and Marvin continue their conversation.
Marvin: If a woman didn't want me before, but she wants me now [after this show], I want nothing to do with her.
Mike: It doesn't matter to me. If a woman didn't want me before, but she wants me now, I'm fine with that.
Adria decides to lead a gym class in the backyard. I say Adria, but maybe it's Natalie, her twin. You do know that BB is switching the two in and out of the house, don't you? Actually, I believe they're switching everyone in and out. Except for Jase and Holly. They are morphing into the same person.
Have you been watching these two? It's "muffin" this and "shmoopy" that and "Will you cuddle with me?" this and "Can I lick your armpit?" that. Oh, yeah, you haven't heard? Holly licked his armpit. Ewwwww! (That wasn't Holly, that was me.) She didn't like the taste of it, saying it smacked of steroids. (I would have guessed Speed Stick or maybe Arrid Extra Dry.) She says she can always tell by licking someone's armpit if he has done steroids. Most people would just check the medicine cabinet.
Will is standing at the sink, washing dishes, with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looks at the camera and shimmies his jimmy in one of the best dance moves EVER. If he keeps that up, he'll fast become my Dance Fever favorite, even usurping Bunky. (Gasp!)
Scott and Cowboy retire to the bathroom to take their evening bubble bath, with Scott in his Speedo and Cowboy in whatever cowboys wear when they go out to the metal wash tub to scrub them there ears. After a while, Holly and Jase join them when they finally take a break from all the nuzzling and cuddling and shmooping.
Jase: "Holly, it's our duty to do this and make America go 'Yuck!'"
Bunny: Mission accomplished.
Inside, Holly gets in the tub as Cowboy leaves it. Jase sits behind her on the edge. Cowboy sits on the stool as they quiz him about his life back home. He tells them all about his apartment, his girlfriend, his job. Just as I'm really getting into the fifth chapter of "Cowboy: My Life," Scott replaces the long-gone bath bubbles with a few of his own.
Holly: "You farted!"
Scott grins from ear to ear, proud of his ability to part the sea.
Let me just take a minute to conduct a show of hands. How many of you would stay in a bathtub that someone just tooted in? I mean, even if he has on a Speedo keeping anything of substance from making it into the water (maybe), would you stay? Holly would! (....is swanging, Hollywood is swa-ang-ing....sorry, you never know when you'll have a Kool and the Gang moment). Anyway, I suppose it's possible that if you're fartless yourself, you don't know the damage they can do.
Holly confronts Scott about never taking a shower.
Scott: "I haven't wiped my a-- in six years, and the girls never complain. I've never had one tell me that it stinks down there."
Holly: Well, I'm just worried about it."
Bunny: "Frankly, I am, too, Scott. Swipe your hiney with a bar of soap, why don'tcha?
Scott gives in and steps into the shower, unintentionally showing us a Before picture of his bum.
After the purification, Scott has a long talk with Holly about the relationship she is developing with Jase.
Scott: What do you want to do?
Holly: I don't know. I came in here confused, and now I'm more confused. (Definitely the second triplet.)
Scott: In here, things aren't real. People could be playing you.
Holly: Do you think Jase is playing me?
Scott: No, but you have to be sure.
Holly: Jase seems like he's getting serious with me.
Scott: Well, that should tell you something right there. We've only been here seven or eight days. Wait until you get out of here, then find out.
Holly: Thank you for your advice, Scott. You're different than I thought you were.
Scott: When we leave here, you will miss me. There's no one else like me.
I have to admit, I'm beginning to believe him. He's just what the show needs: someone wild and crazy that leaves the knives in the drawer and the chairs on the floor.
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
Just do your best
To keep your rump clean
Flipping the switch, we find big brother Michael giving his little sis some strategy pointers.
Michael: You need to cover up any alliances you have in order to save yourself. Get more involved in the house. Talk more to people.
She Nokomis seeks his counsel
Guardian spirit, guardian cowboy
Pondering much and much contriving
How the green grape now might prosper
Michael: I want you to know that this is a game for both of us. Outside of here, that's not a game.
Jennifer: That's why I wanted to wait until we got out of here to talk to you, so we can get the right impression of each other.
Michael: I agree. I don't want to put any extra pressure on you or me. I know we have the same father, and I have emotions about that, but I have to keep it right here. I want to say thank you for coming on the show. It's been almost 24 years and I've never seen him. Did you bring any pictures?
Jennifer: Maybe I'll get some if I get HOH.
Michael: Well, try your hardest to win HOH so I can get an idea of what he looks like.
Nah, that's no fun. Bring him to the show and put him in a line-up. Let Cowboy try to pick him out.
Before "lights out," Scott tells Drew and Diane that Holly has a twin sister.
Scott: It's weird that there are so many twins in the house.
Diane: Maybe everyone here has a twin.
Scott: I don't.
Drew: You don't?
Scott: No, I'm an only child.
Bunny: Well, if you DID have a twin, do you think he'd wash his butt?
Hoppy trails,
