"Two hours until the Veto Ceremony!" BB yells over the loudspeaker. The HGs begin to get ready for the day. The Veto Competition has been held with the HGs chipping away at blocks of ice to get something inside. Karen was the winner, but assures everyone she won't use the Veto, in spite of Adria's request for her to do so. "I've never won anything before," she said. "I want to keep it." Karen, in spite of residing in the house for sixty-some-odd days, doesn't seem to realize that the Veto medal isn't some sort of Cracker Jack prize that she can now sleep with under her pillow.
BB serenades the HGs with "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family, which Bunny specifically requested be played for the cameraman who now makes a point of turning away whenever Cowboy goes anywhere near his zipper, followed by Beck's "Loser," which some people think describes anybody and everybody who would choose to air his flaws and foibles 24 hours a day over the internet. Bunny hopes that before too long, she'll hear something good like "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane or "Here Comes Peter Cottontail." Hearing Danny Bonaduce first thing in the morning just doesn't cut it. Yeah, I know it's David Cassidy singing, but I just like saying "Danny Bonaduce."
Nokomis tells Karen that she didn't like the way Michael handled it when he found out they were brother and sister. "Instead of coming to me secretly and then using it to our advantage, he ran off to the guys yelling 'Nokomis is my sister! Nokomis is my sister!'" Girl, don't even get me started.
The HGs are called together for the Veto Ceremony, where Karen makes it official that the veto power is null and void. Everyone disperses through the house, and Drew approaches Cowboy in the exercise room about his ideas for the next nomination. "I know you want Marvin out," he says, "but I was thinking that one of the girls should go next." Loud-speaker announcement: DREW IS PLAYING THE GAME. I REPEAT, DREW IS PLAYING THE GAME. I know - I'm as stunned as you are.
Adria lets Karen know that she is upset about how the others have been treating her. "Diane, Nokomis, and Marvin refuse to acknowledge my presence." Nokomis hasn't spoken to her for two weeks, and makes her step aside in the hallway when they pass each other. Wow, Nokomis - that must have been some powerful pinky swear.
Karen: We'll still have a say in sequester.
Adria: I hope we have the right people standing in the end.
Karen: Last year the jury didn't like either of the finalists.
Yeah, that's usually what happens when they're finalists and you're not.
As far as Alison and Jun go, you have to give them their due for perfecting the floater game. Not to mention living with Robert one more week than anyone else had to. I miss them, and I even miss Robert. I want so much for him to hook Adria up with Carmen Electra.
Another America's Choice prize was announced - a phone call from home. Cowboy was the winner and was allowed to talk to his fiancee. She told him to cut down on the naked jaunts through the house and yard, and Bunny thanks her for that. I'm not sure if she told him to quit being such a cry-baby, but she should have. As far as any instructions to better enunciate his words, there were none, but it doesn't matter now because at this point I'm completely in tune with the wrangler's speech patterns. If they ever need a Cowbonics interpreter at the UN, I'm their guy.
Karen and Nokomis are worried about the bond between Diane and Drew. They decide to team up and try to go to the end together. Nokomis says she thinks the order of eviction should be Adria, Marvin, Cowboy, Drew, then Diane.
Karen: You should really try to talk to Adria. It will be hard, but it will look good if you make the effort. She's a jury vote, so it wouldn't hurt for you to chill with her.
Nokomis: She won't talk to me. I don't want to try if she's not going to be nice.
Karen: You need to try and find out the info she's been alluding to.
Oh, yeah, that. I'm sorry, Karen, but I'm afraid Adria won't spill. Somewhere in the Bible it says something about not outing overly tanned people with bad highlights.
Nokomis says she will try to talk to Adria, so she and Karen go to look for her in the kitchen. Nokomis says something but is ignored, and she goes out to report this to Diane and Marvin. "I want America to know I tried," she says. I don't know, Nokomis, maybe Adria feels like you're not being sincere. After all, you haven't spoken to her in ages, even though she gave you her pinky and her sister's pinky, too. Is it more fingers that you want? Or maybe some toes? There needs to be some sort of amputation limit here.
BB surprises the HGs with a new game called "Shocking Fun." Four players watch a light on the board. When it turns green, you have to push a button. If you aren't quick enough, you get shocked. The HGs don't like it because it hurts. All but Nokomis, that is, who hooks it up to her nipples - and not just once.
By the shores of Gitche Gume
Sits Nokomis, Moon's bright daughter
Watching water, waves and currents
Makes her think of electrical power
Watching river waves and ripples
Makes her want to shock her nipples
Picks up game, to breast she puts it
Lightning charge to areola
"Awesome possum!" shouts the maiden
"Can I please have just another?"
Drew and Cowboy are cooking burgers on the grill.
Cowboy: I had a beer saved and I think Marvin drank it.
Drew: Marvin has been a total jackass this week. I've been annoyed at how he's been acting around Diane. I don't think he's playing on our side anymore.
Drew is upset because Cowboy caught Diane and Marvin kissing and reported it to Drew. Diane told him she did it to help her in the game. Someone needs to tell Diane that there are easier ways. Take Nokomis, for example. Her tactic is to keep her boobs plugged up to an outlet until she blows a fuse. It's not as painful as puckering up with a pervert, and it's guaranteed to get a vote or two from people who are happy for any entertainment that doesn't involve Cowboy and penis puppetry.
Everyone sits on the patio to eat dinner, and Adria brings up the relationship between Drew and Diane. "Y'all act like you hate each other during the day, but then at night, you're sleeping in the same bed."
Diane: The last thing we want to be is a Holly and Jase. They made me sick.
Drew: I'm not going to kiss her in front of you guys.
Drew and Adria go inside to clean up the kitchen. Diane realizes that the two are alone together and joins them to break up their conversation. Adria returns outside, and Diane accuses Drew of talking about her to Adria. "You think I came in here because I wanted to help clean the kitchen?," she asks. "I don't like her all up in my business. You could have stepped in when she started talking about us."
She storms out to the backyard and says, "Someone's going to get my foot in their ass pretty soon." Adria asks, "Why do you have to be so feisty?" Diane replies, "I just don't like people all up in my business." She doesn't want people to know what she's doing?? Doll, your business is our business, and here's a news flash for you: we're all up in it 24/7.
The HGs, all but Adria, who is inside, gather around the patio table to play cards. When she comes out, there is no chair to sit in at the table, so she walks to the chaise lounge, lies down, and begins to bite her nails. Cowboy yells, "Adria, are you alright?" He asks if they can add another player to the card game. Nokomis says no. Everyone continues to play cards, ignoring Adria, until she goes inside to cry in the bathroom. She then takes her Bible and goes to bed. Outside, Diane says, "Wonder what it feels like to be the odd man out?" I don't know - wonder what it feels like to lose another vote on the jury?
Where is Jack when you need him? He never would have let that poor girl sit all alone while the other kids on the playground snubbed her. He would have found another card game to play, or he would have left the game and joined her by the lounge, or he would have started up some story about JFK and run off everyone else from the game, leaving plenty of room at the table for Adria. I miss Jack.
Nokomis gives Diane props for treating Adria badly tonight. "It was sexy," she says. Diane continues to bash Adria ("She sucks! She's a bi-ch!"), stimulating Nokomis even more. Then Nokomis wonders if Adria is good in bed. "I bet she's not. Gymnasts usually aren't." I'm confused. Doesn't Nokomis have a boyfriend at home? Which way you goin', Billy?
The next card game involves betting. It's boys vs. girls, and if the boys lose, they have to jump naked into the pool. If the girls lose, they have to take a shower and let the boys dry them off. The girls lose, but say they need more alcohol to get up their courage. Marvin says the beer's all gone except for Adria's two that she is saving. Diane says she's going to steal them.
Diane: If she wants to know where they are, I'll just point to my stomach. What the f--- does she need it for anyway? No one wants to talk to her.
I do. I want to ask her about that little Bunny code touch-finger thing she does with Natalie. I do love it so.
Drew goes in to turn on the shower, while Marvin sits down in the chair in the bathroom and props up his feet, waiting for the show. The girls try to come up with a plan to get out of making good on the shower bet. Nokomis says, "How about if I kiss Karen instead?" Hmmmm. Something's happening here - what it is, ain't exactly clear.
Later, before bed, Diane tells Cowboy that she is angry at Drew. "He wouldn't stick up for me when Adria was getting all up in my business." "No, he loves you," says Cowboy. "But sometimes you need to bite your tongue."
Diane: Marvin makes me uncomfortable. I think we need to backdoor him next week. Put two of us up and then get the veto and put him in.
Cowboy: Yeah, we could do that.
In the kitchen, someone asks Drew what food he hates. He says, "Olives." Diane wants him to eat one to prove his love for her. He can't do it. "Jase threw up for Holly, and you can't eat an olive for me?" It is true - it takes a big man to upchuck for a chick, but it takes an even bigger man to eat an olive for one. It's gummy, like an eraser, and it has that slimy red turkey wattle in the center of it. There's nothing appealing about the color unless you're trying to sneak one to the barracks in your Army helmet, and you have to eat a hundred of them to even fill you up. No, I wouldn't eat one for anybody. I'll be happy to prove my love with a box or two of Cheez-its, but that's as far as I go.
Hoppy trails,
