7:45AM BBT: Casey and Lydia are the first two up and out of bed. They spend the morning rehashing last night and talking game.

8:15AM BBT: Casey is saying they will keep Chima because of "white guilt."  He goes on to explain that "white guilt" is the reason Obama was elected President. He said white people feel guilty about slavery. He feels this could come into play with Chima.

9:30AM BBT:  "Good morning houseguests, it's time to get up for the day."

9:55AM BBT: Braden is doing laps in the pool with his pink kids mask,  fins and snorkel which he walked all the way from the bedroom to the pool in. Ronnie is on elliptical trainer saying he's already lost 5 pounds while on slop. Casey is doing a pretty good beat box for Ronnie's workout.  Jessie, Laura and Natalie are asked by Big Brother to please change their batteries. Lydia and Jordan are applying makeup in bed while chatting. The other HGs are mulling about the house doing ADLs.

10:20AM  BBT: The HoH and the nominees pick the players for the PoV competition.  Chima got HG's choice and picked Natalie, Lydia picked Jeff,  and Jessie picked Russell.  Casey was selected as host.

10:45AM BBT: The blondes, Jordan and Lydia,  are outside getting their tan on.  Jordan asked Lydia if they snuggled in bed last night,  Lydia said that she thinks they locked legs.  Looks like Jeff is by the weights and chatting with them.  Lydia greets Russell, "Hello, love muscle."

Jeff is telling Lydia that he hopes it's not physical. He says because we will all be trying to kill each other to win it. Lydia says they may have to call the medics in.  Jordan asks,  "Jeff I didn't know you modeled?"  He replies that he doesn't really,  " I did a couple of times but nothing big".

11:40AM BBT:  BB announces, "Did you know there are 300 different types of turtles?"

Outdoor LD announced.

11:50AM BBT: The PoV contest has yet to begin.

12:05PM BBT:  Indoor LD announced.  When the HGs got inside they found a "Big Brother Dictionary" (just a regular dictionary).

Chima is carrying the dictionary around not letting anyone else see it.  Casey and Russell are in the pool room talking. Natalie is in the kitchen making fun of Chima carrying the book around "It's my book, my ass is on the block."

Chima takes the book with her to the HoH room.  Natalie joins her. Russell and Michele talk but without mic on. Chima and Natalie talk about turtles, saying Laura knows most about them

12:10PM BBT:  Jordan comes up to HoH to try to see dictionary, Chima says she wants to read it.  She thinks the PoV competition will be about frogs or turtles, "Why else would they give us a dictionary?"  Natalie comes down to the "bad bedroom" and tells Russell the competition must be a brain thing as they have a dictionary. Russell says it will be so perfect if they win. Jordan leaves HoH as Chima would not stop reading.

12:15PM BBT:  Natalie and Ronnie come up to the HoH room.  Ronnie tells her not to overthink it.  "You use it for definitions." Ronnie says it's not about turtles about about Big Brother.  Natalie & Chima still think its about turtles since they heard BB's announcement.  Ronnie wants to see the book when she's done with it. FotH.

12:35PM BBT:  Natalie, Chima, and Ronnie counting votes for Chima to stay.  They think Laura will vote with them, but they cannot fully trust her. Ronnie tells Chima about all the negative things Lydia has said about her.  Chima says that she's said nice things about Lydia in the DR,  but not anymore.  Ronnie calls Lydia "a snake in the grass."  They agree that if Lydia gets saved by the PoV, someone from "their side" must go.  The all agree that it would be good to get rid of Jordan next.

1:00PM BBT:  Happy general conversation in the kitchen, with everyone that can eat.  Lydia and Kevin in the bubble wrap room just talking a little bit about game, and about relationships.

1:20PM BBT:  Ronnie, Jordan and Lydia in pool room.  Ronnie says he feels like no one is talking game with him.  Ronnie leaves.  The girls are in bed together talking about possible nominations.  Lydia says she'll put up Laura and Natalie if she's HoH and let them duke it out.  Jordan says they're both threats to them.  They kind of feel that Russell is shady, but they both like him.  They think Russell will listen to both sides,  spill info and cause drama,  but he wouldn't be apart of it, leaving the drama between both sides.

Russell told Jordan that he doesn't talk to Jessie,  yet she knows that a lie.  They know that Russell,  Natalie and Jessie are always hanging out together, leaving Jeff out of their team.  Lydia says they think her and Jordan are sluts and bimbos, but they're not.  Jordan says that she wants good, genuine people in the game.  They both like Nakomis from BB5 and thought she'd be the Off Beat girl,  not Cowboy.  They discuss how they liked Nakomis and Diane's gameplay.

Jordan thinks they should get Ronnie, and that he'll hold his word. They don't know about Michele.

1:45PM BBT:  All feeds now on HoH room where Jessie and Russell are talking about how people aren't playing smart.  They think it was dumb of Chima to pick Natalie and not someone from her team. (I think because they are all in an alliance and don't want to get busted).  Ronnie knocks on the HoH door but they didn't hear because they were in the bathroom (Jessie is shaving).  They say Chima just gave them away.  Then they say that Chima is smart and Russell says she may be gunning for him.  Russell says he wants her out if he wins HoH.  Jessie: "Casey is a strong dude and Casey has his shit going on.."  They both really want to get some strong people on their side. (It's apparent that Jessie and Russell have something strong and will be working together.) Jessie said he was "So Close" to putting up Lydia and Jordan both. He wanted to do what the others wanted though.

2:00PM BBT:  After a few minutes of FotH,  the feeds return to show Jordan on top of Jeff rubbing his back and talking to Lydia and Braden. Jessie and Russell still in HoH room talking. Casey came up and they are all in the bathroom talking. Casey wants Chima out!  He thinks she is more of a threat. "She's more persuasive and older..."  He says she "keeps playing the race card... it's cause I'm black it's cause I'm black" and then she laughs it off. Casey says "if she gets on slop again next week do you want to hear her bitch for another week?"  (Casey is fighting for Lydia.  Russell and Jessie seem set on voting Lydia out.) They say that girls are "catty" and if the guys just hang strong that the girls will go at each other out of sheer jealousy and get rid of each other.

The rest of the afternoon was filled with chess games,  back rubs, reading from the dictionary, and napping.

7:00PM - 8:45PM BBT: PoV Competition   Russell has won the PoV..  As the feed came on BB said. "Russell please put on your mic." Natalie was heard in the background,  "He got the POV he don't gotta do nothin'."

9:00PM BBT:  Jessie,  Laura,  Russell and Chima are in HoH room celebrating their victory and that control the game.  Laura is telling them she'll keep them safe. Natalie says she wants to take a bath, but she wants someone to take a bath with her.  Laura says her and Natalie are the strongest girls, with Jessie and Russell are the strongest men,  so why wouldn't she align with them.  She promises her loyalty to them.

Laura talked about how her name was being thrown around to go home.  Jessie gives advice that the game is constantly changing.  Laura says she won't go against them and is they screw her over, then she made the wrong decision.

9:20PM BBT:  Jordan asks Jeff if he thinks it's strange that his team ran upstairs to the HoH room without him. Jeff goes into tirade about Russell's bad attitude. Jeff says that Russell brought Ronnie a glass of wine and totally ignored him. "He is strong because he's a fighter but he couldn't hurt me." Jeff says he wants to punch him. Jeff said Russell ran upstairs to jerk off his buddy, Russell. Jeff leaves the pool room slamming the door behind him.

In the kitchen, Michele tells Ronnie and Kevin that her husband performs improv at a comedy club.

10:20PM BBT:  In the bubble wrap room, Lydia listens to Jeff continue his rant against Russell.  Jeff says from now on he's spending his time with Ronnie and Michele, people that appreciate his company.

10:40PM BBT:  Lydia asks Ronnie to teach her how to play chess.  They go up to the loft with Braden and Kevin, and the lesson just turns into a another gab-fest.

Back in bike green room,  Michele says she can't eat anything with red with dye and must eat "organic."  She says eating anything red." closes up my breathing."  Braden: "Couldn't they just cut a hole in your throat...with a tube." Michele says "I guess."  Braden then says "I like working out with a beer and a cigarette on the beach."

Now Lydia asking if a significant other using a strap-on.  Braden: "It's not my thing,  but if it was the hottest hottest girl...". The sex talk ensues.

Jeff walks in and says that strap-ons are out of the question. "I'm not down with it. I don't like it."  Everyone is now in the room as sex talk continues. Lydia asks if anyone has tried liquid latex as part of their sex play,  most aren't sure what she's talking about.  "It feels nice, and you peel it off of each other..."

Jordan's sleeping and Jesse's in the diary room.  

Graphic talks continues while Jeff quizzing the girls about anal sex.   Lydia poses the question,  "Has anyone been handcuffed-- like to a bed?"  It seems more people have tried that.

Lydia jokes about having a swing in her room and someone asks "A sex swing?"  Kevin say he has one.  [I couldn't tell from his tone whether he was joking or not. ]

11:25PM BBT: Ronnie looks terribly uncomfortable with all the sex talk.  .Lydia brings up "Masquerade Balls" and tells them you wear a mask and do it with someone else with out ever taking off the masks "Who would do it?"  The consensus of the group is that they would not.

Lydia ask who would go to the Playboy Mansion and wear "legitimate lingerie."  "I've been there four times." Braden tells them.  Lydia: "I would wanna go." "I have higher aspirations" Chima says.  Casey says its like visiting a national monument, "It's something to but on your 'bucket list,' like: go the the Grand Canyon, go to the Eiffel Tower, go to the Playboy Mansion."  Braden says he was at the mansion for the Halloween and  Valentine parties.....

12:05AM BBT:  Chima, Jessie, Kevin, Laura and Michele have been in the recycling room for the last while. Kevin mentioned that he came out when he was 21.  Chima started asking questions about how his family took it.  Kevin said he has no relationship with his parents or siblings and said its been quite hard.  Chima kept asking questions and then someone said "It's getting pretty personal."  The room got pretty quiet.

Chima offers that she has a sad story to tell. Then she matter-of-factly states that she was raped by a serial killer.  Everyone was pretty shocked and not quite believing at first.  The rapist broke into her sorority house, cut the phone lines and raped her at gun point.  She fought hard and got away.  She had to have surgeries after, as  he beat her in the face.  Some time after he was caught and recently was put to death in Texas.  Chima talked about having to testify at his trial,  and the numerous postponements. 

Natalie was in the DR for Chima's story.  When she returns,  they re-tell the story.  "How'd they catch him." Natalie asked.  The rapist had killed his victims and she was spared saying because she fought back and the profiler said it "ruined his fantasy."   "The attacker had a gun to my head.  I bit him and he beat me up and rapped me after that."  She ran across the other room and picked up the phone and it was dead.  She put her robe on and ran over to a fraternity house and they called an ambulance, her mom.. It took a long time for them to find him,  but he was identified by his DNA and her descriptions.  He was arrested for robbery that's how he was arrested.
