to Confront the Winners, Winners Answer Questions! 

Lisa: "I think I might take a nap."
Dani: "Are you tired?"
Lisa: "I don't know."

9:00AM BBT: The Girls are Up  Just doing ADLs, nothing happening.  12:15PM:  The girls are dressed up and waiting for BB to begin something.  They are nervous and there have been sporadic and brief FotHs caused by singing and I think they've received some instructions from BB.  Dani's made numerous trips to the bathroom, and Lisa has warned her to calm down before BB has to bring in the shrink for her.

1:00PM BBT About to be questioned by Evicted Houseguests. The evicted HGs completed a group discussion and later will ask Lisa and Danielle to defend their actions and why they feel they should win.  The live feeds will not show the questioning, but I'm hoping we'll be able to paste it together from their discussions afterwards.  At 1:10PM an extended FotH began and it's assumed the interrogation has started. At 3:00PM it was still going on.  4:00PM, still going on...  5:00PM, still going on...  6:00PM,  still going on... 

Dani's slumped over the table after eating the post-interrogation dinner

At 6:30PM we rejoin Lisa and Danielle.  Dani's wearing her pink bath robe and she's at the table playing cards with Lisa.  She seems uncharacteristically quiet and maybe a little depressed.  She mentions that it's better on "Survivor" because the voting is done on the island without the voters seeing tapes of things they didn't know about.  Food (burgers and fries) arrive and we're back to FotH,  for a moment.   This the most quiet these two have ever been (a problem exasperated by the fact BB has the wrong mics picking up the sound).  Lisa says Marcellas was happy and bubbling.  Lisa's happy that Eric still thinks she's beautiful.  I think things were rough on Dani, she's still hardly talking.  Lisa makes comments trying to be humorous, and there's very little reaction from Dani.  Danielle:  "The person I really want to talk to now is my father, 'cause he's the man.  The man with the wisdom."  More FotH.

7:45PM They Corrected The Sound Problem-- We now join Dani and Lisa in the tiki room.  Lisa is still concerned about Eric.  She feels he'd never go out with a girl that made him look like a chump, didn't vote him back into the house, and won, and he didn't (win).  Dani disagrees and thinks that Eric isn't the type to care what other people think.  We also learn that the evicted HGs voted today, only the results will be read live on Wednesday.  The girls bemoan the fact they're stuck in the house for another 48 hours, when the game is over.

By 2:00AM they called it a night.  I didn't make it that far.  Without exaggeration, I watched the live feeds 14 hours today, and at least 12 of those hours was FotH with that music that sounds like someone sawing through a violin.

So with nothing to do, the winning women of BB House got up around 11:00AM.  Made coffee and other ADLs like feeding the lizards.  They  got more beer from BB, laid in the sun through it all they talked talked talked talked.  It's mostly Dani, and mostly about the game, which as you can see is over, or is it?  As you may recall, we were told at the start, there might be a twist in the voting process.

Not the final final veto? OK, this is pure speculation, rumor and hearsay, but I feel I'd be remiss if I didn't report it.  As I reported yesterday, Lisa and Danielle were told that Monday would be a busy day in the BB house.  Now what could they have to do?  The game is over.  As I've also said, we were told there might be one more twist.  Now lets look at this:  The voting process has the jury of evicted HGs watching Lisa and Danielle on monitors, but they do not get to see the jury.  Each evictee gets a set amount of time to question Lisa and Dani, and they get to reply.  Now here's the important part:  Last year each HG got to veto one vote.  Kind of a silly process, as they each just cancel out an even amount.  So I'm wondering if this year, they aren't coming up with some kind of "Platinum" Veto challenge, where the winner get to take off certain votes.  Pure speculation, may not even make a difference, but still an interesting consideration. 

Tonya and Boyfriend Split:  Norm Clark of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that  Tonya,  "the much-dissed Las Vegas party girl/dedicated mom, and her boyfriend David Lee have split since her eviction from "Big Brother 3." Too many arguments over her tawdry tell-all behavior on the CBS show."

Lisa & Danielle are The Final Two!

Noonish:  The HGs got up early, but ended up in an outdoor LD until noon.  They played cards while BB worked in the house.  When the LD was over they got showered and dressed for tonight's show.  At 1:45 Danielle said it best, "There's a whole lot of nothin' goin' on."  Yeah, but it's going to be a hell of a night!

2:00PM BBT:  I've got to tell you, these people must be going through hell, because I'm tense just watching them.  They're making small talk, playing cards and chomping at the bit.  The tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife.  Lisa says "It's like watching a pot of boiling water."  I'm not sure I get her simile, but it's tough.

Jason Guy, the 25 year old, single videographer from Mobile, Alabama came in third place, taking home only the memories of 79 days in the Big Brother house

5:20PM BBT Julie Tells Jason He Won Round Two:  Danielle says she didn't throw it. 

Big Brother caught up with Josh, Chiara, Gerry and Marcellas to find out how their lives have changed since leaving the house, and how they feel about the others. 
BIG BROTHER TALKS WITH JOSH, CHIARA, GERRY AND MARCELLAS

8:30PM BBT  Lisa Wins Round Three! The challenge had Lisa and Jason guess which evicted HG's remarks were said about which of the three remaining HGs.  Julie: "Let's begin.  Lori said of the three of you: One of you is mysterious, one of you is funny and one of you is  polite.  Who did she say was funny?   Answers.  The answer is Danielle.  You both get a point.

Next question: Amy said of the three of you, one of you is precious, one of you is fertile, and one of you is sweet. Who did she say is sweet?
I need your answer.  The correct answer is Lisa. Lisa is ahead by one point at this point in the game. 

Chiara said of the three of you, one of you is insecure, one of  you is strong and one of you is  perfect.  Who did she say is insecure?  The correct answer is Lisa. Lisa's in the lead by two.

Next question: Roddy said of the three of you, one of you is soulless, one of you is inexperienced, and one of you is uncertain. Who did he say is soul-less?  The correct answer is Danielle.  You both get a point.

Next question: Marcellas said of the three of you, one of you  is instinctive, one of you is attractive, and one of you is guarded. Who did he say is attractive? The correct answer is Jason. Lisa gets another point, taking  a bigger lead.

Next Tonya said, of the you, one of you is conniving, one of you is sexy and one of you is fake. Who did Tonya say is sexy?   The correct answer is Jason.  You both got it right. You you've both got another point.

Next question: Gerry said of the three of you, one of you is lucky, one of you is energetic, and one of you is earnest. Who did Gerry say is lucky? Answer is Lisa.   You both get another point.

Josh said of the three of you, one of you is overconfident, one of you is spineless, and one of you is child-like. Who did Josh say is spineless?  The correct answer is Jason.  Neither of you get a point.

Next question: Eric said of the three of you, one of you is spontaneous, one of you I a pushover, and one of you is beautiful.  Who did he say is spontaneous?  The correct answer is Danielle.  Congratulations, Lisa, you are in the final two and most powerful HoH." 

Lisa Evicts Jason--  Lisa told Julie she at the top that she had made her decision.  When she won the challenge, Julie asked for her decision, and a teary-eyed Lisa said Jason.  Jason knew he was leaving, and wasn't the least bit upset.  He's said all along that it's more important that Danielle win.  Jason's mother and father were there to greet him.  Jason's mother cried the most at the sight of her oldest son. Note: All three families were there, even Eric in case Lisa got evicted. 

After the Show Dani and Lisa were in outdoor LD while the props from the HoH competition were taken down.  They talked, and Danielle told Lisa about the deals and scheming she did to make it to the end.  She sobbed when she spoke of Jason and what he did for her.  Lisa knew that Dani had been plotting, and questioned her on how much she had been told was truth, and what were lies.  Lisa feels good that what she suspected was really going on.  She said that in the DR she told them her suspicions and said, "you may think I'm crazy and need to be in a straightjacket, but this is what I think is going on..."

Reality Sinks In Lisa just realized she'll be getting the HoH room and a goodie basket.  Danielle just realized she's stuck feeding the lizards now that Jason's gone. 

Lisa listens as Danielle sobs that her boy Jason won't win.  BTW:  Look at that face, she's not only beautiful, but come Wednesday, she'll be wealthy too!

Lisa asks Danielle--  "If things had worked out different, who would you have picked, me, or Jason?" Danielle: "Jason."  Lisa still seems a little intimidated by Danielle, even though Dani keeps breaking down and crying that her boy Jason won't win the game.

Danielle tells Lisa of the day, shortly after Josh was evicted, that someone on the outside yelled over the Big Brother compound wall "Don't trust Dani."  Roddy heard it and told her, we heard it on the live feeds too.  Dani also told Lisa that now that they're winners, they don't get the stipend money for being on the show, they only get the prize money.  Lisa notes that she won the first HoH and the last! Jason said he'd leave Danielle his hat, Danielle thought he forgot, but she found he had put it in her bag.

Danielle:  "Lisa, did you ever have an idea of who you'd want to to be with you if you made it to the end?"  Lisa: "Yep.. it's really gonna freak you out."  Danielle: "Oh my God then don't tell me..  alright tell me..."  Lisa: "It was you." Danielle: "At what point did you decide that?"  Lisa: "Before we walked into the house." 

8:15PM BBT Dinner is Served:  Lisa doesn't get HoH goodies because her term is less than a week, but they both get a special dinner.  They got steak and lobster, Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and a six pack of beer.  Hmmm, that's a lot of libation, there may be something to report tonight after all.

10:00PM BBT Lisa's been in the DR for a long time.  While Lisa's in the DR Dani starts to decorate the memory wall with things in the house that represent the evicted HGs.  She talks to the pictures as she hangs items from the hooks that once held their keys. Her kind words seem to be sincere, and yet it could just be campaigning for votes, or maybe she's cracking up under the stress.  When Lisa returns, Dani once again re-hashes all her alliances and plotting during the game. Danielle asks Lisa if she's following it, and Lisa tells her, "Yeah, I know all this, I'm just letting you talk.  You just need to relax.  Take your fifty grand and go on vacation."

"I'm dreading seeing Eric...  It's that whole flirting thing, I don't know how he'll feel about that."

Early AM: So how's Jason Feel That Danielle is Pledged to Lisa?  Oh, he's fine with it.  I think Danielle was sincerely upset that she sold him out, but Jason's fine with it because he wants her to win, and understands the pain of the challenge that caused her to break.  Jason's still hopeful that he'll win the rest of the challenges and be able to be in the final two with Danielle.  So what's Danielle told Lisa about Jason? Oh, nothing at all.  Jason's still hopeful that he'll win the rest of the challenges and be able to be in the final two with Danielle.  You can't tell from the clip that both of them were crying through most of the conversation. And what caused Jason to screw up in the first round?  He saw something in the sky, well they all saw it.  He said it looked like missile being launched, it was like nothing they've ever seen before.
JASON AND DANIELLE LAY IT ON THE LINE

11:00AM BBT The Kids are Up-- BB won't say when round two will be, only not too late, not very early.  I'm thinking around 1:00PM BBT, but my record on guessing these things isn't very good.  Danielle's still planning on throwing the contest today so that Jason will win, but she's not feeling well from last night, so if it's a physical challenge she may not have to fake it.

1:00PM BBT HoH Round Two!  The feeds have been FotH since 11:15AM. I doubt they'll show the event, but I'll post the results as soon as they're in.  2:30PM It's Over!   The feeds returned at 2:30PM and we're waiting for a HG to comment...  Lisa and Danielle are selecting their libations for the evening, they selected beer.  Jason's feeding Godzilla and Rodan.  The challenge was, at least in part, based on HG trivia, memory and speed.  Jason was called to the DR and asked BB to take Danielle instead, BB complied, leaving Jason and Lisa alone. It was an odd scene.  Neither were talking much, the both seemed nervous and uneasy.  They talked about tomorrow's live eviction, and Jason said he'd have to get his bag from the storage room to pack.  OK Gang, Here's What Happened:  They competed in a timed contest.  Each guest competed alone, and apart from each other.  So when the contest was over, we didn't know, and the guests didn't know who won.  We'll all be told at the same time, Saturday at 8:00PM ET, 5:00PM PT.

Danielle and Jason compete in a contest of household events and chores
Arrange the pictures	Make and eat a PB&J sandwich	Do the laundry	Find the pictures in the pool	Arrange them in order

They had a total of six tasks that we had to complete within seven minutes. First they had to go to the memory wall, and put each evicted houseguest in chronological order in which they were evicted. The second task was to a piece of laundry, then make and eat a PB&J.  Next go to station four and it was put in chronological order, the houseguests that  received the power of veto. From there you had to collect the pictures from the bottom of the pool and place  them in the correct  chronological order of who held  the house of household.  Within the seven minutes, Danielle successfully completed three tasks.   And Jason, completed four tasks in the same amount of time,  which means that on Saturday, Jason, will compete  against Lisa for the final H.O.H.

3:00PM Say Goodbye:  As Jason was about to go to the DR, Danielle told him, "You better take some tissue when you go in there."  Jason: "Why?"  Danielle: "Because they'll ask you to record your goodbyes."  This was the first confirmation they received that it'll be their last night (all three) in the house together.  While Jason was in the DR, Lisa grilled Danielle on the contest, trying to get a bead on who won.  Danielle gave her no false hopes that she won, nor did she indicate that she didn't do well.  At this point, Danielle really doesn't know if she gave Jason enough of a break.  We do know it wasn't a tie, BB told them in the event of a tie, the challenge would have to be repeated.

Tomorrow's Challenge:  BB has instructed the HGs not to move the furniture.  This is an indication that the last part of the HoH challenge will be indoors. 

End of the Day:  They eat dinner, the girls drank some wine.  They sat in the hot tub and chatted about their hopes and dreams for the future,  all the people they miss, the cast party, and checking out the web sites to see what we've written.  It's somewhat melancholy, in the house, the planning and scheming is over, these three people really like each other, and tomorrow one of them will be leaving.  It's been both a mentally and physically challenging two days and they're planning to go to bed soon. 

Miscellany: Jason got a camcorder to play with in the Big Brother house.  Dani's key is missing from the wall today.  As HoH, Danielle get laundry service, and the service lost her laundry.  During last night's video, Lisa saw Eric kissing Tonya, she's still talking about it today. Amy got up around 12:30PM and Jason started video taping her.  She told him she didn't want him to tape her because she didn't have make-up on.  So what about the 50,000 people with live feeds?  By 4:00PM the HGs had picked out their clothes for tonight show, and are all primped and ready to go.

6:45PM BBT: Amy is Evicted (Again)--   Jason cast the single vote that took Amy out of the game. my was greeted by her mother and her dog Bucky, who promptly peed on the floor at the sight of Amy. 
AMY'S EVICTION

HoH Competition:  This will be a three stage HoH competition.  Part one is called "HoH Lifeboat"  they took their keys and got into lifeboats (rafts).  They paddled to a nomination box in the center of the pool, inserted their keys, and told not to let go.  This is an endurance test.  The last guest hanging on to their key, wins this first part of the HoH competition.  Julie: "It's just a matter of days before we crown the winner of big brother three. Join us for a special live edition this Saturday at 8:00 Eastern, 7:00 Central to find  out who wins this pivotal head of household competition.  That person will immediately evict one of their housemates and the final three will become the final two."   What the HGs don't know, is that BB has rain jets over the pool, and at 7:00PM BB turned the water on. Jason yelled "Oh that is sooo cold" when the rain, thunder and lightning started.  The HGs have cups in their rafts to bail the water out.  And guess what, they blocked out the feeds! The feeds returned and at 7:20PM the rain turned into a monsoon. 

7:45PM BBT Jason's Out! Jason got out of the pool.  They blocked the feeds for a couple minutes, so we didn't see what happened, but after a warm shower he was heard to remark, "I can't believe I took my hand off that key."  At 8:10 the girls were still hanging on and Danielle announced to world, "Well I just peed, I'm peeing on CBS."  That's a keeper, I think it's a better slogan than "Welcome Home."  Jason heated some soup and went out by the pool to keep the girls company.  BB continued alternating between rain, monsoon and no-rain.  By 9:00PM you could see that the girls were cold and tired.  9:30PM BBT, Still in the pool. After a 30 minute storm, Jason came out  again to see how they were doing.  "Great," answered Dani.  I don't think the girls appreciated Jason's words of encouragement, as he stood by the pool, warm, in dry clothes, slurping up hot soup. 

Keep your eye on the prize and your hand on the key.

I Think Lisa Knows-- She's never been sure where she stands with Danielle in terms of the final two, I think she knows now.  If it was Dani's intention to be in the final two with her, they could have made a deal to get out of the pool, but they didn't.  As the rains poured down again, the girls bailed out their little rafts with measuring cups.  There was hardly any conversation between the girls as of 10:00PM.  By 10:15 the temperature was down to 65°, and they started talking about Jason being in the house, rested (for tomorrow's challenge) and warm.  At 10:20 BB turned on the wind machines and more rain.  Jason lit a fire on the patio grill and ate chicken while he watched his soggy housemates.  At 10:45PM Dani asked BB Chris what would happen if they both took their hands off at the same time, there was no response.  Lisa tells Danielle she's been thinking about her and Dani in the final two ever since she found out about Chiara voting against her.  It would be her and Dani, because she's never talked to Jason about the game.  So she doesn't know?

11:15PM:  LISA WINS ROUND ONE!  Lisa promises Dani she will take her into the final round, Danielle gives up challenge.  Big Brother hasn't told us or the HGs when round two will begin tomorrow. 

They had interviews with four of the evicted house guests:
Lori: Lori was surprised that Eric voted her out. 
Tonya: On the subject of Dani, "She had to be the most conniving and deceitful person. "
Eric:  He was happy to see his family again.  Was suspended for two weeks. 
Roddy: Really has issues with Danielle. 
EVICTEE'S INTERVIEWS

In Reality News Today: E! Online Reports that ABC is going to a new reality series, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! It's very much like "Big Brother."  The 15-episode series, which might as well be called "Who Wants to Torture a Washed-Up Celebrity," will pit stars against the elements in a remote location, feed them meager daily rations and tape it for star-struck viewers to enjoy.  Full Details

Noble Jason & Danielle: Jason says that if Lisa wins HoH he is voluntarily exiting so Danielle can get in the final two. Dani says "no,"  she wants Jason and Lisa in the final two. Dani says she brought Lisa along because she can live with Jason or her in the finals. "Plan 'A' is you and me in the finals. There is no plan 'B.'"  They say that the only option is for them to get to the finals together. They will try their hardest to win HoH.

4:00PM The Great Cake Experiment: The house guests donned their blue aprons and attempted to bake a cake from the ingredients they have in the house and NO recipe. This wasn't a BB challenge, just something they wanted to see if they could do. They used butter, oil, sugar, eggs, flour, oatmeal, apples, pancake mix and milk.  Having more batter than pan, they also used a cupcake pan.  As it baked, Danielle noted that it smells like cake, in fact they all remarked how good it smelled.  Tonight is their catered Japanese dinner, this will be dessert.  If it fails, perhaps they could leave their hand and footprints in it and use it as part of the backyard patio.  By 4:45PM the muffin cakes were out of the oven.  The verdict: Yummy.

The HGs watch themselves, and those departed in various competitions.

Dinner at 7:00PM: The Japanese dinner arrived at 7:00PM.  At 7:45 BB told the HGs more about their video for the evening (the home viewers got more FotH) and the HGs popped cord for the event.  They got a highlight reel of their competitions in Big Brother.  They saw the slime tank, Hawaiian Luau, the brownie eating contest,  human bowling, the Sheryl Crow concert  (almost in it's entirety) and other magic moments.  They laughed their asses off at the antics of themselves and HGs evicted so long ago.

HGs Sleep Late:  No wake up call from BB today, and Dani was the first up at 11:40AM, the others are still sleeping. Lisa's next, then Jason.  The Southern Belle didn't get out of bed 'til 1:15PM, but she wasn't feeling well.  This is to be a day of relaxing, tanning and mental prep for the big HoH competition on Thursday. After a day in the sun, Jason used up the rest of the film in his camera given to him for Sunday's cruise.  Dinner tonight was surf-and-turf, and another bottle of wine. 

Something to Do on Wednesday:  Tomorrow the HGs get to watch some video, they're hoping for a movie and popcorn, but they will get an Ericson cell phone and a free year of service.
