Big Brother Craze

….and Keesha is STILL sleeping. Jerry is up and with Memphis in the back yard. general chitchat, between long periods of silence.

I miss Dan. When’s he coming back?!

6:15 - Skippy is focusing on the DR door, instead of Keesha. usually means someone’s coming out soon - Dan hope already? Dare we hope? Maybe not. Now all four are on the backyard with Jerry/Memphis. Damn you, Skippy, for getting my hopes up.

6:18 Fish… well, that’s random. Skippy may be toying with me again.

6:22 - we’re back, all feeds on the bathroom door. DAN’S HOME! YAY! Keesha’s awake. Dan says he has two sides to tell - outside world. He was blindfolded for a lot of it, and they drive by the gas station - 3.89! He was thrilled to see it… He loved that. He feels things might be going better in the economy. nicolas cage movie coming out, bangkok.. richard geer coming out about some road, pachino and deniro, rightous kill, looks awesome…

He felt everything was going so fast, he had to have a motion sickness pill cuz everything felt like it was going so fast. Then… the limo ride, pull up to a private airport - CBS helicopter with camera on it, then another one… took off like a rocket, saw all the homes in the Hollywood hills, never seen that kind of money in his life, tennis courts, pools, and I gave you a shout out - there’s Memphis’ club! The Hooters Keesha works at! Saw Mann’s Chinese theater,..

Keesha: That is cool, Dan! Was it weird?
Dan: I was so overwhelmed.. faces, cars…
Memphis: that’s crazy!
Dan; the weird thing was I couldnt’ wait to get back… I never thought I’d feel that way.. Jerry I’m telling you, I’m afraid to go back in the real world!
(everyone laughs)

Dan: so, have an idea that I was going down to a private beach, and we spent a lot of time flying around Hollywood… down the coast line, and I saw a sailboat race, and the lower you got the more people waved, then he pulled to the right and we headed out into the ocean and I was like what the hell… and then… (intermittent fish)

Wouldn’t tell me the name of it - the guy who owns wrigley park owns it.. s/w of LA, about 30 miles off the coast. There was a kyak and jet skis, and a table with two chairs, and I was like, omg what the hell and the landing was awesome… and they got me like walking out and he walked down to see the table, alfredo, vegetables, quesidillas, brocolli, salad and wine.. no desert, but there was two things set up… so I start eating.. waiting and waiting… and I felt like the biggest asshole they did it to be like ‘you chose this’… but then I hung out in the ocean, and it was cold, but clear - I thought it’d be warm! I played around in the ocean for a while, oh and I got… it’s not much, I snuck back all this stuff. He has a baggie of Sand, and sea weed and he picked out rocks for each of them for different reasons - a strong and silent one for Memphis, a pink one for Keesha, and one for Jerry. He tried to get a bottle of wine but they wouldn’t let him keep it.

fish…

Dan: I’m telling you guys, I was like, after a little while I was ready to go back.
Jerry: did you see this Rock? hahaha!
Dan: it was so overwhelming… I thought I’d be prepared? but not at all…
Jerry: When we walk out of here it’ll be different.
Dan: oh! new CBS show, starting this week, Gary Unmarried…

Fish.

Dan: I was so happy to see that
Jerry: No presidential posters?
Dan: no

Fish

Dan: it was a sensory overload with all the poeple.. another thing too - they told me not to talk about this but I don’t care, we had a reef…

Fish.

Dan: it was weird - believe it or not, I thought about all you guys. I was by myself, kinda lonely…
Jerry: I made some pasta… they took you through the DR? I didn’t know you were gone..
Dan: yeah!

Fish.

Keesha: that’s waht we always talk about, how overwhelming it’ll be…
Dan: there were times I had to look inside the car - and I’d get sick, but it was so overwhelming to see the outside sometimes… when I was in the little trailer at the helicopter place..

fish.

Memphis: Well you didn’t miss much here, man!
Keesha: you sleep at all?
Memphis: nope
Keesha: omg, you must have been so board…

Dan: I was supposed to be on the beach an hour longer but we were delayed….

Jerry: taste of the real world!
Dan: I wanted to come back here. I was like, on the helicopter I wanted someone to share it with.
Keesha: were you on the beach for long?
Dan: a couple hours.. messed around in the kyack for a bit, didn’t know waht I was doing
Memphis: Weird that you saw a whale huh?
Dan: it was just so vast.. sorry I could only bring back this stuff..

Jerry says he’ll build something for his Rock, and put a picture of Dan in there to remind him of Dan

Dan: I spent some time picking out the rocks…
Jerry: its cute..
Keesha: I love my rock!
dan: between me and you and the cameras, I tried to get a feel for how long we’ll be here… I’d go by the fish date.

Jerry complains about his aches and pains, then all but demands that Dan stop everyone from alienating him. Jerry promptly remains in the kitchen when everyone decides to go outside.. he follows soon enough though.

Dan: another weird thing? they know EVERYTHING about us. EVERYTHING.
Keesha: Waht do you mean?
Dan: EVERYTHING. It was so weird.
memphis: that’s funny…
Dan: like he said “i thought you’d wear your st. mary’s shirt…

Dan: i’m not gonna lie, when I saw that other chair… I was freaked out. Then figured maybe they wanted me to look like an idiot eating by myself.

Jerry’s catching moths for Ted and Debbie.
Dan: someone was talking about Ted..

fish.

Come back to them watching Ted capture and wrap and eat the moth Jerry threw up there.
Jerry: See if I can find Debbie one, then everyone will have eaten today.

Dan: I felt pretty confident when I got out of here, but hey…
Keesha: it’s your safety net now..
Dan: all we’ve known for 60 days..
Jerry: gonna try some ice on my neck..

Memphis: I can’t believe the gas was under 4 dollars!
Keesha: that’s good though, that’s good news.

Jerry: how big was the helicopter? how many were in there with you?
Dan: Me, the pilot, the camera guy, sound guy and producer

fish.

Brief game moment:
Dan asks Memphis if he’s thought anymore about his options and Memphis mentions Jerry’s neck. Dan says he did it four weeks ago, and with him saying it stings, then burns? He doesn’t know. Memphis wonders if he’s faking, Dan doesn’t know, Memphis goes back in.

Jerry has ice on his neck, and then looks straight up at a plane over head without grimacing…
—verdict? Lessa is 100% positive the old buzzards faking it!

Dan looks beat.. they’re figuring out what they want for dinner, going to try chicken fingers. Jerry’s icing his neck while Keesha and Memphis rummage around in the kitchen.

Keesha; it’s so cool that he got to experience all that!
Memphis: yeah, definitely.

Keesha; it’s funny he wanted to come back..
Memphis: that won’t come out of my mouth!
Keesha: maybe it’s because he knew he had too..
Memphis: Not by choice…

Jerry is wandering around after playing a completely unflinching quick game of pool against himself. Keesha’s folding laundry, and they’re talking about the finale date - and Jerry is positive it’s two weeks. Keesha says fish food day…

Jerry: We’re having a week now with four people..
—-nope, heh. 5 days, you just don’t know it yet.

Keesha: I’m just hoping!
Jerry: We don’t know if it meant any change of the game, either. I don’t think it did.
Keesha: Whatever they’re doing I hope it’s over soon
Jerry: they got us up today to do nothing, didn’t they? That bothered me.
bb: you’re not allowed to talk about production.

Inside Memphis is making some yummy looking quesidillas - even if he says it wrong. (he pronounces the lls. weirdo. heh.)

Dan wakes up to eat with everyone..
Dan: saw some pretty big name parking spaces here too. First and last names.
BB: you are not allowed to talk about production.

Dan in HOH room, alone at LAST:
Dan: Another one for the good guys - that was a great story! Just need to keep it up with a straight face. Walked in and there was a place set for two but I was the only one eating…
—Lessa: do I know my boy or WHAT? HAHAH!

8:28 Memphis goes up to the HOH room to join him for a little while alone while Keesha’s washing dishes, and Jerry is outside playing pool.

Dan: How was the day today?
Memphis: literally? No one talked. Keesha was asleep all day. Jerry cooked lunch…
Dan: say anything at lunch?
Memphis: no, it was weird
Dan: Dinner was awkward as hell..
Memphis: I was outside for like 5 hours and no talking in the whole house, it was really weird. Gave me a feel of how it would be with only 3 people in here.
Dan; But if we’re still here, I mean I don’t talk to Keesha till night.
Memphis: I know, I just don’t think they’d have just three people in the house for long.. Dude, he seems like he’s sandbagging a little bit..
Dan: We need to watch him… he was like it stings, it burns… it’s not gonna burn even if its a nerve
Memphis: if he hurt it 4 weeks ago
Dan: why is it flaring up now?
Memphis: and he was complaining about it? And then I said get some muscle relaxers… then less then an hour later he was doing push-ups right in front of me..
Dan: When your neck is hurt it’s hard to do anything
Memphis: i know! We’ll watch him a couple days…
Dan: How’s keesha doing, mentally..
Memphis: haven’t seen her all day..
Dan: remember when Libra did that? slept all day?
—-hey! that’s what _I_ said!

Memphis: thursday it’s on.. on like donkey kong…
Dan: yup. telling you dude, I’ve never been this tired since I been here, and I didn’t do anything… water was freezing, it was weird.. when I got to the beach I was like man, I’m such an idiot.. I thought you would have loved it, I felt so dumb…

Memphis: yeah, but it’s cool. Sucks though, the beach, we could have had a good time
Dan; Made me feel like an ass, you know what I mean? It was like crickets… thats what they’re gonna show..
Memphis: (laughs) yeah, you know that’s why they put the chair there and stuff…
Dan: Dude, I started to belive Jerry for a second, you know, someone’s coming back, I was waiting for someone to jump out, in my mind Jerry was saying this is gonna change the game…
Memphis: he definitely thinks way to much into everything..
Dan: everything. Dude, if he’s faking that neck? that’s a pretty good move…
Memphis: if he is, he’s been trying to do it for a while. I remember when he fell off the building he was like my neck is bothering me the night before… He’s still doing pushups, you know what I mean? What idiot does pushups when your neck is hurting…

Memphis: funny thing was they woke us up! You know? kinda strange.. I can’t believe you were like watch CBS on thursdays!
Dan: I was like that, and they were covering my eyes and I was all I’m not gonna look, and he wouldn’t let me go..
Memphis: Monica and Ashley are getting pumped up man, cuz they know… buy your plane ticket Monica! Do it now!

Dan: we can’t expect it to be handed to us..
Memphis: if we bring our A game.. I mean 2 25 year olds, smart… can’t get beat by a 75 year old. But not overconfident or anything, we just have to bring our A game.

Talk about the facts they’ve been given all summer again… then the missing racket balls.
Memphis: get your plane ticket! Ashley, take the day off work, girl!
Dan: unmarried gary, check it out, wednesdays 8:30.

They try to think of the guys name.

Dan: there’s a couple girls walking around too, just randomly.
Memphis: really? where?
Dan: In the helicopter trailer..
BB: you are not allowed to talk about production.
Dan: Island express helicopters. Check them out. Ask for Gary the Pilot.

Talk about the BB8 final HOH competition. Dan gets it right this time.
Memphis: that’s like 2 somewhat physical, with the question at the end.
Dan: remember what that POV was though, physical…. and this one was short and mental.
Memphis: I can see them adjusting it for him… would you rather go head to head with him in the final heat with something physical? yeah.. but we don’t even want him near the final heat..
Dan: yeah…
Memphis: just gotta be on our game. We’ve been focused to this point, just keep riding.. wahtever mental thoughts through your head lately, just keep doing it. its working. You were right behind me on the one the other night. Oh. I found out? On the last one? 3 times to get it right.
Dan: the last step?
Memphis: yeah. Steven. 3 times.
Dan: Were you freaking out?
Memphis: I must have been! to go up and down, all the way to the top? I was like oh shit, I was probably wiggin.. that was a long way up and down…

Memphis: you know, in an endurance, once he falls, we can be like one of us slipped, whatever, so we won’t be tired.
—Lessa: not two seasons in a row… PLEASE…

Memphis: you think the final two, we have to do the morning show together?
Dan: that’d be sweet.. I wonder if they do the morning show like right after?
Memphis: It’s early early morning
Dan: think they tape it?
Memphis: they could… I don’t think they would… the morning show is live in NY, I think.
—guess again. this year it’s all taped night of the eviction!

Memphis: that movie might still be in a major theater if there were bilboards still out
Dan: one was huge, Batman on one side, other side the Joker..
Memphis: siiiiiick.

Memphis: it’s so close man.. so f’in close.
Dan: day after tomorrow…
Memphis: maybe your sister and Monica will come out since they’re getting along.. they only fly them out for the finalists, I guarantee it.
—-Lessa: hahahaha. sure. Ok then.

Dan: showtime must be so boring.
Memphis: that’s why I think it’s speeding up at the end, you know? its like watching pain dry. i’m telling you, 5 hours, no one talked. Whoever had that shift to write down what we say had a good time. It was like Memphis goes outside. memphis gets a drink of water. Memphis goes back outside.
—-*looks at previous post* Yup.

Dan: you think in the jury house, April and Ollie are in the same room?
Memphis: I wonder if its big enough that everyone gets their own room…

Memphis: think they’d be offended if I asked them how it was over there afterwards?
Dan: Just how DID the Jury house feel..
Memphis: think they’ll let us have paper and pens to do our speech? note cards?
Dan; bullet points?
Memphis: I can only imagine the questions
Dan: i’m gonna be getting it dude! Lets play Jury vote roulette…
Memphis: renny man..
Dan: I just want to know, why you didn’t take me to the final 2..
Memphis: dude. if I gotta send Keesha home this week. whhhoooooooo. Shes gonna be on fire. Keesha’s gonna walk in the jury house.And renny and everyone is gonna think Jerry voted her out…
Dan: Think so?
Memphis: they’re gonna be like Jerry won pov! and she’s gonna be like no, Memphis did. S’gonna be like, hell.

Memphis: what’s killing me.. is the voting out. Michelle man.. I was leaning in, and she just glared right by me. It was like, wow.

Memphis: that’d be a season to watch - all 2 person alliances. It’d be all out WAR.
Dan: I never thought about it before coming in… if there’s more than 2, one person always feels left out.

Outside, Keesha and Jerry are talking about Ollie and the deal. Now getting older, keeping his body in shape, etc.

Memphis: If they do the final 3 challenges.. have to know who won, right?
Dan: the first one you’ll know.. but the second one, you won’t who won, it;s timed..
Memphis: they wouldn’t wait a whole day before telling us… right? I’d go insane.

Jerry: showtime must be boring. Who’s gonna sit around and watch people do nothing?
—- uh. um. uh. well. um… oh! Carolyn does! (grins) Not me, honest! (shush.)

Memphis: I feel bad..
Dan: YOU?
Memphis: I know, I know i Know!
Dan: Where’s MEMPHIS?
Memphis: I don’t know.. if he leaves, empty handed?
Dan: it’s not Big Brother Charity Case…
Memphis: I know, It’s weird..
Dan: I leave for 6 hours, and the Renegade Alliance became the Creampuff Alliance?
Memphis: if I’m standing there with 50k, I’d feel bad for screwing him out of 4 grand. IT’s one thing if I’m like I need it to keep you hear.
Dan: Then you can be like, I’ll strongly consider bringing you if I win HOH, then I win HOH and youre ok.
Memphis: I know, but if I do, I’d be the one who f’ed the old man and took his $4000.
Dan: I know you don’t want to break the deal or anything… so that’s one way. I mean, it’s for what, saying if this happens then.. knowing there’s no possibility that it’ll happen?
MEmphis: Thats Vegas for two days…

Memphis: I’ll talk to him then.. cuz you know once I tell Keesha it’s over. It’d be nice to go to vegas on Jerry though, ya know?
Dan: it’d been better to go on April. And Jerry.

Dan’s falling asleep, so Memphis puts in the cd to listen to it. Jerry and Keesha still outside.

Jerry: I never understood Angie. She isolated herself on the couch. Whoever was her buddy was a couch buddy. Brian, Steven. Never thought she wanted to play the game. Most people who get out early self destruct, that’s what they do. I always said I could get halfway through without self-distructing. Then what happens? HOH? 4 people pissed at me right off. I wonder how many first HOHs made it as far as I have.

Keesha: Memphis hasn’t even had an HOH.
Jerry: He was… within 24 hours sometimes.. escape artist!

Jerry: survivor, the second place gets like 50k too. They voted once and gave that James guy a million dollars too!
—- No. Fan Favorite, James the Grave Digger, got 100k. Two seasons in a row. Am I a dork for remembering so many tiny details? *L* —-

Jerry: What I got a kick out of was the end with Ollie, when he didn’t find a veto, he kept looking when the contest was over…
Keesha: I heard about that!
jerry: no one assigned the lanes!
Keesha: you’re right! I didn’t even think about that… we just randomly got in a lane…

Jerry: there’s not once that someone got put on the block that I didn’t shake their hand. One thing, when you lose you lose.

9:49pm
BB: Memphis please go to the diary room. (x2 - he’s listening to music, can’t hear. Heh. Dan wakes and tells him.

Keesha: I can’t believe they’re calling someone into the DR now…
Jerry: They must be bored. Or they heard someone. They do that, you know…

Jerry telling Keesha his life story now… pausing only to feed Debbie.

10:20. Keesha makes her escape to put her clothes away. Dan still out cold in the HOH bed, Memphis and Jerry pass one another in the bathroom. Keesha to the DR.

10:36 Jerry please go to the diary room. Keesha says she’s going to bed. Memphis is in bed in the hippie room already. Keesha goes upstairs to say goodnight first, rings the bell, Dan doesn’t answer - he moves as she’s walking away, but just closes his eyes again and goes back to sleep.

General chit chat between Keesha and Memphis as they get ready for bed.

11pm - lights out in the hippie room.

11:03 Jerry rings the doorbell to HOH, peeks in, sees Dan asleep and sneaks out again. e goes and peeks in on the hippie room, and tells them they’ll give him something for his neck in about 20 minutes. He tells them goodnight, and closes the door again.

11:13 - after he goes to the diary room again, feed one changes just in time to see Jerry look directly at the camera, point to his neck, and grin, before going to sit in the massage chair. Ummmhm.

Dan is called to the DR - he moves his leg, but that’s it.

Jerry is walking laps in the backyard. Yeah. He’s real hurt. He even jogs a lap. I would love it if Dan would just WAKE UP and go catch Jerry right this very second…. because he just ran another lap.

Damn. He’s done. Everyone else is still sleeping.

11:52 - lights out in the Doom Room. All the houseguests are asleep - and thus, so am I. Night, ya’ll!

12L25 …or not. Guess who’s awake? Dan! He gets something to drink, takes out his contacts, and heads to the hippie room to flop on Keesha’s bed. He tells them the story of his dream - Memphis is evicted and leaves naked. And Dan hugs him.

Memphis: STOP!!
Dan: Keesha was naked too!
— Cue Hippie Room Laughtrack!

They chitchat about how early they went to bed, how tired Dan is from his trip even though he didn’t do anything, Dan heard the call to DR but didn’t go. Dan complimented Memphis on his quesidilas, and Memphis asked if it was the highlight of his day - more talk about Dan’s adventures, and Memphis figures the island was close to Catalina. And just because he ignored them, Dan is called to the DR at 12:40am.

1am: dan’s out of the DR. He gets a drink and says goodnight to Memphis and Keesha, then heads to the kitchen for a bowl of cereal. He eats it outside, after saying hello to Ted and Debbie, then he hooks up the Pool cleaner vacuum. He goes to see if Memphis or Keesha are awake, and… they chat.

And I’ll catch up in the moring - bed time for sleepy Lessa’s.

ETA: General chitchat only, then all the hamsters were in bed and sleeping by 2am BB time.
