The HGs are allowed to sleep a bit longer today in order to be rested for the Live Show. When they awaken, they discuss their wardrobe plans. I, for one, am ecstatic that Scott and Jase will be putting on shirts. I know they're trying to follow one of Bunny's rules about going topless, but I meant Drew, not them. When you wear more clothing on your head than on your body, there's a problem.
Scott tells everyone that he had a dream last night. "When I got out of the house, I found out I was being portrayed as an imbecile." Don't blame me, pal. I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
Drew is going through his suitcase, trying to find just the right outfit for tonight. He tries on a cowboy hat for size, wanting Bunny to take note that he, indeed, fits nicely in the role of Lonesome. He then asks Will if he can borrow one of his pink shirts, which Lonesome would never do, but Drew can get by with provided it's the right style of pink shirt and not one with fur cuffs.
Will gives him some suggestions, but Bunny warns Drew not to listen. Remember, this is the guy who wore pearls with his Polo the other night. I love Will - I want him at all my parties - but Girlfriend can't dress.
Holly wants to rehash the events of last night regarding her fight with Jase - the twin thing, the mole thing, and the "it's all a joke" thing. Will says to let it go and just concentrate on getting ready for tonight. This is impossible for Holly to do, so she moves on to Lori and rehashes away. Marvin joins them, and Holly tries to explain that it was Jase's idea to call it a joke, but that he's not a malicious person and neither is she. She begins to cry, which gives Marvin the opportunity to hug her in comfort.
Poor Marvin. He has to take advantage of these moments when they come along. "CBS didn't put no woman in here for me. I guess they didn't want to hook a brother up. I'm dyin' in here. What's a man supposed ta do?" He said he specifically told them his type, and they deliberately didn't select any females that matched the description. "I think Adria is pretty close to booty-licious, though." Bunny is taken aback by this statement - not because Marvin has a crush on Adria, but because someone's still using the word "booty-licious."
Holly goes into the Diary Room to talk to the psychiatrist, while the Four Horsemen plot their next move in the HOH. They decide that if one of them wins, they will nominate Diane and Lori. In another room, Will, Lori, and Karen are plotting to nominate Jase for what he's doing to Holly. "He is sacrificing her," says Will.
Karen: We will tell Holly that we saved her and she will have to vote our way.
The three decide that they will put up Scott with Jase so that Scott can't take Jase off the block if he wins the Veto.
Mike comes in and everyone comments on how good he looks. He has packed the muscle shirts away, opting for something with sleeves - a wise move if you're over 40 and want to be taken seriously by Julie Chen.
Best Line of the Day goes to Mike. "Could everyone clear out for a minute? I need to practice my Eviction walk."
Mike, it's good that you have a sense of humor about your impending eviction. It will help when people call you an idiot for not trying to make a deal with Jase and Scott. Laughter is the best medicine as you realize that wearing a pro-Bush shirt lost you the vote from the gay guy. And you have to be able to smile when you reach that a-ha moment - the one that tells you, as a rule of thumb, old people like you don't belong on the planet.
Holly comes out of her Diary Room session, her need to rehash still unfulfilled. She wants Jase to understand why she's still hurt.
Holly: I thought you were playing me.
Jase: I thought you were playing ME.
Holly: So are you playing me?
Jase: Are you playing ME?
Holly: I have a headache.
Bunny: So do I.
The others want to get into the bathroom to continue getting ready for the Live Show, so the Jase and Holly drama ends with Jase going to get Tylenol. Will comes in to gel his hair and Bunny notices that he opted for the purple shirt. He's wearing it over a white shirt, and BOTH collars are standing straight up. I'm certain had he gotten my memo in time, this travesty would not have occurred. If Drew shows up in something similar, I'm done.
Michael is dressed in a plaid shirt, which says "farmer" more than "cowboy," but he looks nice. Lori looks luscious in a little black dress. Karen has written "Happy Birthday" to her husband on her arm with eyeliner. For a minute, I thought it said, "Honey, please buy Bunny a beach house!" but I was mistaken.
You know, Karen is just a sweetheart. That "stink pickle" thing has long been forgotten. She is the nurturer of the house - the one who always says the right things to everyone. She stays positive and helps each player focus on his good qualities. She remains calm and reminds everyone of the amazing experience they are having. She may be this year's Jason. Only without the love notes from a certain aggressive rabbit.
Jase and Scott take their place on the couch for the Live Show. They are not only wearing shirts tonight, they have cast their bandanas to the wind. With all that space available now, I'm surprised someone doesn't use it to advertise.
The Live Show takes place, and, as predicted, Mike is evicted from the house. He takes it on the chin and exits with a smile. He doesn't even cry when the goodbye messages are played, which means Bunny has to pay out a few bucks on a lost bet. The HGs go to the backyard for the HOH competition, in which they have to answer questions about each other. Marvin wins and is crowned the next HOH. Of course, the crown itself has been missing since Jee left the house, but everyone knows he da man and the schmoozing begins tout de suite.
The secret is out that Adria is a twin and is being switched in and out of the house with her sister Natalie. The HGs haven't figured it out yet. It's the easiest twist to pull off in a house full of narcissists who spend most of their time looking at themselves rather than at each other.
The Four Horsemen discuss strategy. They are sure that Marvin will nominate two women, and they plan to throw the Veto so the girls will win it and force Marvin to nominate another one. That will turn them all against Marvin and make him a target the next week.
Michael: I want to know one thing. How does America like us?
Jase: Everyone loves us.
Well, not everyone. Some of us are females and we like to see the ladies get a break. We know it's a guy's turn to win and all, but still....there's something about you pony riders that bothers me.
Jase: The longer this game goes on, the cockier I'm gonna get.
That's it.
Scott is checking himself out in the bathroom mirror while Will is in the shower. "You don't take showers, do you, Scott?" asks Will. "I wash off in the pool," replies Scott. "That kills the germs, then?" asks Will. Scott thinks about it and decides to take a shower when Will is finished. "Here you go, internet viewers - my penis!" Sorry, Scott. Been there, seen that.
The HGs strategize in small groups about who Marvin will nominate. I really don't care. I just hope CBS sends the booty-licious twins into my homey's crib for the duration of his stay.
Hoppy trails,
