The HGs are awakened by BB with the announcement that the Veto Ceremony will take place in two hours. Diane and Drew are in bed together. Will jumps in with them. "You were talking in your sleep last night, Will," Diane says. "Really? What was I saying?" Diane: "Two centimeters wide! Two centimeters!" Will: "I don't know what that was all about." Bunny doesn't either, but let's hope it didn't have anything to do with gerbils.
Adria comes in and mentions Jase and his sock puppet. "He put a bandana on it, and some sunglasses. He laid it on his pillow and was talking to it. I heard him say, 'Don't be upset. I know it's been awhile. You've always been there for me.'" And right he was, Adria. Just like the other night when his buddy Tubes covered for him in a sticky situation in the house, he was also with him all through his military days to protect him from friendly fire, and all through his nights at the firehouse in case his hose burst.
Will and Marvin are outside rehearsing their speeches for the Veto Ceremony for Karen and Jennifer. They think it would be funny to play up the fact that Adria nominated the gay guy and the black guy.
Marvin says he's going to talk about being "a Negro in oppressive times." Will wants to put on makeup and announce, "I'm queer and I'm here." Neither one thinks they can top the "Dumb and Dumber" theme used by Scott and Jase in their Veto speeches. I don't know about that. If Marvin throws in a verse of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" and Will makes his entrance in a tiara and spiked heels, I think ratings would go through the roof. At the least, they might spark the idea for a new sitcom: "Will and (Black) Face."
The two men also discuss the fact that Adria wanted them to beg for the Veto. "Jesus told her to nominate me," says Marvin. "And I'm not messing with that. I don't want to go to Hell." It's true that a little voice in Adria's head told her to nominate you, Marvin, but I'm not sure it was Jesus. I think it may have been Gloria Steinem.
The HGs are called in for the ceremony. Adria tells them she will not use the Veto since neither of the nominees requested to be taken off the block. A bad move on someone's part. Almost what we in BB Land now refer to as "milieu de Marcellas." Pompously refusing the Veto when it's offered to you won't get you far in BB, but at least, as Cowboy says, you'll still have your "proud."
After the ceremony, Will wants to talk to Diane to confirm that she is going to vote for him to stay in the house. He, of course, having entered the world alone, has no idea that a Twin Kin alliance has been formed. Diane assures him that she is going to vote to evict Marvin and thinks Drew will do the same.
Natalie tells Adria that she talked to Marvin last night and tried to work a deal. "Diane heard me and had sort of a mini-breakdown, so I don't know if we can trust her anymore." They hope that Drew will win the next HOH, and then Michael, because they feel like they are safe with them.
Outside, Karen is talking to Jen and Will.
Jen: It is time for us to make the rounds. I don't think Cowboy will vote for Marvin to stay.
Karen: I will talk to Drew, but it will take forever. It's hard to get him to talk, and when he does, he doesn't say anything.
Will: He doesn't have to. People that good-looking don't need personalities. They just stand around at a party and chicks are all over them.
Jen: Yeah - and bunnies.
Diane IS beginning to wonder what was said in Marvin's conversation with Natalie, and she expresses her concern to Drew. She thinks Natalie may have promised to vote for him to stay in exchange for immunity from nomination if he wins the next HOH.
Diane: I don't know who to trust anymore.
Drew: Me either.
Diane: I know Will doesn't lie. Neither does Nokomis. I don't talk to Karen enough to know about her. Maybe we should switch alliances, but I'll stay with Adria and Natalie if that's the way you want to go.
Drew: I think Will wants me out, and I really love Adria. I think she has sucked Cowboy in, too, so we'll still have the numbers.
Diane: Maybe we should just make it a tie and let Adria take the backlash when she breaks it.
Drew: This person will be the first one on the jury. We have to think about that when we vote.
Who knew that Mr. Designated Eye Candy could actually play the game? It doesn't matter to me whether he does, but who knew?
Will joins the couple and complains about the smell of Marvin's feet.
Will: Have y'all smelled 'em?
Drew: Sometimes I can smell them in the hall.
Diane: Yeah, sometimes the smell makes me want to vomit.
Marvin is the Pepe LePew of BB. He loves to woo the women with sweet nothings like "Take me to zee Casbah" and "I am zee locksmith of love, ma cherie" and "Hey, Booty-licous, you're going to need surgery after I done split yo' spleen!" And, alas, like Pepe, he may be a tad unaware that a little Odor Eaters goes a long way.
Drew gets on all fours (money shot for Gay Blade magazine) and Diane climbs on his back. He bucks her up and down in the perfect promo for the country song "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" until she yells at him to stop. I don't, but she does.
Jennifer has been wearing a non-smoking patch for almost a week. She's amazingly calm, unlike BB2's Kent when he went through the same thing. Only Kent was given lollipops instead of the patch, and that would certainly make you cranky since no self-respecting man wants to be seen on TV sucking a cherry Tootsie Roll Pop. No wonder he screamed at Hardy; I would have yelled at him, too. Well, maybe not yelled - but certainly spanked.
Karen, Will, and Jen are in the kitchen. Will says he thinks he is safe this week. Karen agrees, saying she doesn't believe Marvin would make a deal with the twins. Bunny says that Will's going home, and wonders if he'll show his "blankey" to Julie Chen.
Will tells the others that Karen has made some more treats. He did his duty by eating one and pretending to like it. The HGs don't really enjoy Karen's cooking, but it's not her fault. She makes everything with peanut butter so those who aren't allowed anything else can eat them. It's kind of like Bubba Gump and shrimp. There are fried peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter toasties, grilled peanut butter balls, globs of peanut butter with sugar - but the only one I lined up for was creamy Skippy licked off you-know-who's flat belly. Not as tasty as whipped cream would have been (see Fantasy Section of previous summary), but beggars can't be choosers.
Adria and Michael go over the plan for next week. He says if he wins HOH, he will discuss his nominations with her. "You and your sister are the only ones I can trust right now. I'm not even sure I can trust Nokomis." You can't, Cowboy. Remember Custer.
Talk turns to what they will do when they get out of the house. Adria hopes she can take a week or two off and not have to go back to work right away. Michael hopes that BB will give him a scholarship to college. Kind of like Donald Trump did for Troy on "The Apprentice" or like they do in beauty pageants. I think Cowboy would be a shoe-in for Mr. Oklahoma if there's a high score for talent. Even if they wouldn't let him do his famous hat trick, he could walk away with the prize by doing a monologue from "Nell."
Hoppy trails,
