2003: Blimp Ride & Erika and
Robert are Alone |
 |
| Robert and Erika watch as Jun
and Ali leave through the back yard doors. |
9:00AM BBT Ali and Jun have to get ready
for their blimp ride. 10:41AM Robert:: "I Haven't been able to
sleep. I dreamt me and you were running to get a taxi to go somewhere."
10:58AM Jun and Ali are called into the BY to leave for their trip. They put on
blindfolds and exit through the backdoors of the backyard. Robert and
Erika are the only two in the house.
First Hour Alone Robert and Erika
discuss the game. Robert's excited and when he gets this way he just
rambles on, talking really fast. It's just like when he was with the
stooges and they'd get so pumped up. The difference this time is he's delivering
this pep rally to Erika. She's listening emotionless, like she's hearing
about that blimp prize again. Erika seems pretty truthful in what she
tells him. She blames his Dream Team for Ali still being in the house.
She said that Jack didn't see the threat either, and Erika considered going to
Rob's team for help in getting her out. Erika says how vile Alison can be
at times, but also sees a good side to her. Robert says that Ali's the
type of girl that ruins his day with her first words in the morning, he hates
her shrill voice.

to his ex. |
Robert: "Who would have ever thought we'd have this house
to ourselves. I mean when you came in here did you ever think we'd be
alone in here together? Man, I wish is was overnight." Erika:
"Wha... Oh, you mean you wish their trip was overnight. Yeah. It does feel
so nice and stress-free in here today."

blimp. [Click to Enlarge] |
Robert: "If you win and I don't get anything, I want you
to take me to dinner at Crestations."
Erika: "Sure I'd do that. And if you win and I don't get anything, I want
you to give me twenty grand so I can pay my bills."
Robert: "Yeah, sure, I can do that."
1:20PM The Goodyear Blimp passes over the Big
Brother house, followed by the Channel 9 News helicopter to tape Jun and Ali in
the blimp from the outside. The message on the blimp read: " Congratulations Big Brother 4 House Guests.
Now that you've made it to the final four. You're Flying High"
Rob and Erika go out to the BY and wave, jump up and down and swing their towels
over their heads. Both Robert and Erika are really glad they're not in the
blimp, the idea terrifies them. They're sure Jun and Ali are airsick.
Blimp
[5 minutes] 
Robert:
"Do you think they're up there thinking we're down here being miserable together."
Erika: "I think they think we're here plotting and scheming."
Robert: "There's nothing left to plan."
Yes, Robert is flirting, and Erika's just being neutral.
Rob says, "You know they better get me out of the house soon before I start
liking you again." and "You know we'll always be friends after this." Her
reaction is about the same as my third grade teacher when I told her I was in
love with her.

3:00PM Erika Landin Stars in "Home Alone IV"
Robert's in the DR And Erika thinks she's in an episode of "The
Twilight Zone." she's all alone in the house, cameras are following her
every move, "Robert, is that you?" No answer. "Robert? What are you
doing in there, professing your undying love for me?" When Robert
finally returns she says "You scared me. You were gone for like an hour."
Now we get to see the reverse, Erika's been called to the DR. Her session
was much shorter. While in the DR they asked Robert if he missed Jun's
cooking today. He told them that it's worth not having her cooking, to not
have to have her in the house.
This Week's Odds: The odds were calculated
before Alison won the PoV. I forgot to post them. Even when posted on
time, I just like the reminder of the opening odds. Ali and Erika were
early favorites, I wish I could have bet on Robert at 10/1.
4:20PM Jun & Ali Return Jun got sick,
Ali didn't, and she was actually a little impressed with her prize. On their
way to the blimp, they passed Jay Leno in his convertible Ali rolled down her
window and yelled to him, he waved back. The blimp is tethered to the
ground, and to release it, they bounce the blimp up and down, they didn't like
that part. They described what the BB house area looks like from above.
They could see where the "Passions" set is, and the construction area for
their competitions. Jun really didn't like it when the channel 9
helicopter got to close. The blimp pilot, John, radioed to the helicopter
that their flyby was making a passenger nervous. The helicopter cameraman
asked if she would face the camera if she was going to get sick again.
They flew over Dodger's Stadium, the reservoir near where Robert lives and the
Hollywood sign near where Erika lives, as well as Merv Griffin's mansion, City
Hall, Universal Studios, and
the Playboy mansion. Jun is adding some detail, but mostly just discussing how sick she was. It
was a three hour tour.
Somewhere along the way, they met the person that recorded
all the house announcements, like "Alison, please move your microphone higher."
The blimp pilot asked Ali and Jun for their autographs...
Robert: "It's funny that someone asked Ali for her autograph. We are just
on a TV show."
Erika: "So?"
Robert: "It's not like we are going to be on TV next year."
Erika: "You don't know that."
Robert: "Everyone in LA has been on a reality TV show, it's not a big deal
anymore. Do you know anyone who's been on a reality TV show?"
Erika: "Yeah."
Robert: "So do I."
I know, I don't get it either, but that's what the said.
Later they mocked Ali for being excited over seeing Jay Leno, "I must see him
driving around once a week.."

6:00PM Nap Time Again - Ali and Jun took
Dramamine for airsickness, and are sleeping soundly. 7:00PM Food
Arrives. Robert and Erika go to the storage room to get the
food. Erika immediately notices they didn't include an item she wanted.
Tonight we're dining on Cuban food (they changed their mind from Filipino
food). There was halibut, chicken, tamales, and much more I missed.
It was a very quiet meal. Tomorrow, they're ordering lobster,
crab claws, New England clam chowder and baked potatoes.
|
It's getting deep in the
HoH and I've heard it all before. So lets take a laugh break and read
a couple lines from Alison's Q&A form from CBS: |
· What three adjectives best describe you?
Fun, loyal, outgoing
· How do you plan to win BIG BROTHER?
Not lying, not cheating and not talking behind backs |
8:00PM Ali
& Robert are in the HoH having the "Who would you vote for if
you were on the jury?" conversation. Robert says he'd vote for Jun, she
played a good game, that's why we should get rid of her (Ali's way too smart to
buy that.). Ali say's she'd vote for him because he played a good game and
picked a good alliance.
8:50PM Robert runs back to Erika to tell her what a
great conversation she had with Alison and how Ali hasn't decided yet.
Robert's certain that he swayed Ali to vote out Jun. There were no feeds
on Ali, but I think it's a good bet she was talking to Jun, telling her
everything. [Update 9:15PM, Ali's telling Jun everything.]
Robert and Erika are starting to act like a couple.
Robert asks her if they won if she'd go to Vegas with him. She reminds him
about the last time they went, they had a big fight and didn't even sit together
on the plane ride back. Robert asks, "So Miami, will you go to Miami with
me?" Erika [Laughing]: "No!" Robert: "I can't believe you
won't even promise that."
9:30PM The Girls Get Their Pictures Back
Jun and Ali got disposable cameras to take pictures with on their trip, and
they're back. Jun brings the pictures from the storage room. One
cool story was when the blimp called the tower at the Burbank airport for
permission to fly over their airspace, and the tower radio operator said it OK,
"...and tell Jun and Ali we said hi..."
Kodak moments (reactions to photos)
[6 minutes] 
11:00PM Robert re-tells his story of alcohol and
the road back. Ali's jumping rope. Jun's working in the kitchen.
11:30PM Ali abs class is in session. 11:50PM They're starting to tire
out... Erika and Robert play Old Maid before bed.

2003: Luxury Challenge Today |
|
12:30AM BBT Ali and Jun talk in the BY.
Ali: "Robert wants to talk to me tomorrow. I guess he wants make a deal with me.
I just have to be careful I don't laugh in his face." Of course Jun has
nothing nice to say about Erika either. Ali: "Erika says to me 'You would
tell me if you were voting me out, wouldn't you?' an' like I said 'Oh of course
I would.' Like I would want to be left in this house with two ex's..."
Ali goes inside leaving Robert, Erika and Jun. Jun
says, "I don't think it matters any more, we all know who she hates... more."
It's a cute remark, but the answer isn't clear.
1:15AM After a long FotH we find the HGs getting in
bed. This looks like a good idea, and coverage will continue today
sometime after 10:00AM.
10:10AM Wake-up Call. By the second call
everyone was out of bed and BB didn't get a chance to play the nasty voice
wake-up call or the mariachi music.
10:25AM ADLs in progress, Robert asks Ali if she'd
give him a haircut today. Ali says she's scared of the luxury challenge
because there's a big fence outside. Later Ali hears a chainsaw outside.
11:05AM: Ali to Jun: "I can't wait
until Wednesday, they're going to shit themselves." By 11:15AM
everyone was taking a nap before the luxury challenge.
The luxury challenge today will be for something they've
never given away before.
12:30PM Robert gives the girls prison uniforms to
wear for the luxury competition, they aren't thrilled by the unflattering
clothes. 12:45PM Robert and the girls are in their striped costumes and go
out to the BY for the contest.
For those of you without live feeds let me explain that
what you see on TV isn't the way it looks live. The HoHs don't do very
good jobs reading the intro/instructions, the producer usually has them read it
several times until they get enough tape that they can edit together one good
reading. The producers ask the HGs to react as if they're hearing it for
the first time, and always, "Bring up the energy level." For
example; when you saw the luxury competition where they won a weeks worth of
laundry service, it was through the magic of editing that it looked fun, and
that they were happy with the prize. But the HGs pretended, and there was
enough "happy" to edit into the show. But today's...
 |
|
"A fuckin' blimp ride."
|
Robert reads the instructions, the theme is "Escape from
the Big Brother House." Each guest has to break out a cell, go through a swamp
(pool), under barbed wire, through mud, out a sewer pipe to the finish line, and
the prize: "A ride on the world famous Goodyear blimp." Well there was no
happy from the group to edit in to the show. "A fucking blimp ride?"
"I'll pass." No one wanted the prize, no one wanted to go through the mud,
a total disaster. Reaction to the
prize
[3 minutes] 
 |
|
We're going to win
what?
|
FotH, Take Two: They try again. Jun's
happy reaction is so fake and sarcastic. Erika just sits there like she's
waiting for a bus. Alison generates some real laughter, but it's directed
at how lame the prize is. FotH. They bitch and moan, they try to
talk one and other into winning so they won't have to go. Robert tells
them it's a trip for two (top two time scores). FotH. Today's
producer is "Jim" and they gave him one tough day.
Robert goes first. Jun's doing her fake cheering him
on, Erika's still waiting for her bus. Ali's watching, but utterly unimpressed.
I would have forked over another $24.95 to see what was going on in the control
room. This was the saddest/funniest thing I've seen all season. And
the worst thing about it is that when it airs on TV, they'll have cleaned it up
and made it look fun (I can't imagine how). Oh yeah, Jun and Ali are
going on a blimp ride.
 |
|
Robert checks out the features on the T-Mobile
cell phone.
|
1:45PM When
the HGs come back inside, there's a stand with a cell phone on it on the coffee
table. Erika really wants to win the AC phone call. The winner will
be announced tonight. Ali and Jun will go on their blimp ride Sunday
night. Regardless of the prize, the girls enjoy getting dressed up for a
photo op.
2:15PM Erika's a little stressed out and sniffling.
I think part of it is the anticipation of winning the phone call.
4:15PM
America's Choice Robert won the call to his daughter, Elena.
Her first words were "Hi Pop," she lost a tooth, and likes her new teacher.
She cried and Robert remained strong and told her he was doing good.
Robert said it was a long two minutes. The call was not shown on the live feeds,
so details are sketchy. When Robert got off the phone he cried like he
never cried before. He cried so much that he made the BB people in the DR
cry too. He's so happy the America did that for him, and voted for him
twice. He spoke in humble terms and was very touched and grateful to
America.
5:15PM Erika once again checks with Ali to see if
is going to vote her out. Ali once again assures her that if she wins HoH
she's taking Erika with her, and that Jun's a liar. Erika assures Ali that
she would never take Robert to the finals, the only one she want to go to the
finals with is her. Lies, lies, lies...
5:25PM Robert asks Erika if everything's OK with
Ali, Erika say it is. Robert says that tomorrow when Jun and Ali are on
the blimp, they rehearse and role play so they'll have everything down.
6:30PM Jun talks about Jee, back when they were
dating. Jee scared Jun away when he said he'd be a stay at home dad and
Jun would support the family. Jee's mother was going to move in with them
and she was planning where to put the garden. Jee didn't like the
way they broke up because his friends stopped calling after the split.
She said it was time to break up, she grew, he didn't. He would never go
out of Queens for anything, shopped there, ate there, etc.. He hated it
when Jun lost weight and started wearing low-cut blouses, he'd say, "I can see
cleavage, who are you wearing that for?" Jun says he wanted someone his
own age or younger so he could control her, like Carmen.
7:20PM
The Greek Fest Arrives. They got roast rack of lamb,
calamari, goat cheese, melitzanosalata, tzatziki, souvlakia, taramosalata
and baklava for dessert. They didn't give the restaurant
very high marks, but they did laugh at their own audacity for being
critical of the lavish meal that didn't include any PB&J. Tomorrow they're ordering
Filipino food.
8:45PM Robert and Ali have a long talk about who
played the game well. It was long and like any other talk this week
meaningless. Everyone is lying.
What's the worst pick-up line you've ever heard?
Jun: "What's the matter, baby? Don't you like white guys? The best
part of 'caucasian' is the 'asian.'"
The conversation turns to sex: Jun's not up for
romance. She says she wants hot dirty sex. Erika: "Sex is
dirty to me, so the dirtier the better." Alison tells of her "only
one night stand." She woke up with Donny and said, "Oh my God, did we have
sex last night?" She says Donny replied, "No. We made love."
"And I threw him out of my bed. Don't give me that bullshit."
11:00PM Ali tells Erika she still trying to decide
which one to evict, Erika said she doesn't want to talk against Jun, "That
isn't my style, so do what's best for you because I don't want to deprive you of
the money." Ali leaves and Erika is alone outside and says to the camera "Is
that sincere and smart enough for you guys?"
11:30PM The girls got sake tonight.
Erika and Robert are sitting on the patio. Erika says, "This would
have been so much easier for me if you hadn't lied." Robert says "I can't, I've never lied. It's part of his
program." Lying would bring him closer to drinking. He was in
alliance with the boys and did not lie. Erika says,
"Not in the house, in our relationship." The re-hashed how he lied
and hurt her, but Robert insists he hasn't lied to anyone in the house.
While this conversation was going on outside Jun and Ali were doing their
exercises inside, and trashing Erika and Robert, same stuff, over and over.
Robert admits to Erika that he wants to have a friendship
with her outside of the house. By the end of the conversation, Erika's in
tears and runs to Ali for someone to talk with. Erika tells her that Robert is really sorry for all the things that he did to her
in the past. "It sucks that this had to happen on
national TV."
Ali: "Do you think he is sincere or is it for the game?"
Erika: "I really couldn't care less about this game at this point."
The group eventually moves back outside. Robert: "So are you like OK?"
Erika: "Yeah, just on my period, drinking all that sake..." Around
11:45PM Robert is talking to Jun about Bob, now Jun is crying.
All in all it was a soggy night that broke up close to 2:00AM
Ali and Jun will be leaving at 10:00AM for their blimp ride and are not expected back until after dark. |

Friday, September 5, 2003:
Ali Won the Diamond PoV |
 |
|
I was bored. I was
trying to figure out who Robert looks like. The best I could do was
Stan Laurel of Laurel & Hardy. |
9:50AM BBT Wake up call, two minutes
later the nasty version followed by the mariachi music.
Robert orders Japanese food for dinner. Ali's not a
sushi fan, but the others are, so they order chicken and beef teriyaki for her.
10:45AM Ali is back in bed taking a nap. On
the patio Jun explains to Rob why Ali needs the rest, Jun says Ali stays up all night
to see who Erika talks to.
 |
|
This has become a very common
scene, three girls asleep, Robert sitting alone, doing nothing. |
Robert seems trusting of Jun, but it's to the point where
I can't tell sincerity from game play. I look forward to the broadcast to
see the DR footage to see where everyone stands. In Robert's case I think
my judgment is closer to the truth than his words, I think he's falling in love
with Erika. OTOH, Erika seems truthful in the DR when she says she's not
interested in him.
11:45AM
After a nap, Jun's up preparing lunch for the group. On today's menu we
have sandwiches, might be a bacon-tuna-lettuce-tomato, sandwich (I missed
the recipe portion of the program).
12:45PM Lunch is followed by the HGs sitting outside and talk of another
nap. It was too hot so by 2:00PM they were all inside talking about
the other seasons of Big Brother.
3:00PM Rob does dishes while the girls sleep.
Erika got and took a shower, Ali got up to see where Erika was, and
later took a shower. This gave Robert, Jun and Erika a change to talk
about her more. Alison told Robert that if he wins PoV there'll be a big
target on his back, "Remember what happened to Jee..." Robert said
her remarks only makes him want it more. Robert notices that one of the
outside cameras were moved, they expect that tonight's PoV contest will be
outside.
3:50PM The HGs are given something new to talk
about when they are shown what this week's America's Choice questions is, "Which
house guest do you want to receive a T-Mobile phone call from a loved one?"
All the girls got emotional, Rob says he hopes he doesn't get it, it will be
easier to compete without it. They will find out later who won.
5:00PM While the HGs are in Outdoor LD, 5:04 LD Over.
Tonight Broadcast Begins A recap of Jee's eviction
and the HGs reaction to Robert winning HoH kicked off the first quarter.
We find the Jun really was mad that Erika is close to Rob. Erika still has
some distrust for Rob, and she wishes that he'd try to evict Jun instead of
Alison. The next segment covered the making of the piñatas where Robert
walked out and didn't want to decorate one. In his DR scene, he said it
was the sort of thing that he'd do with his daughter and he was missing her too
much (remember, this was before he won HoH). The second
half started with the food competition, the breaking of the piñatas, the meal
that followed and the discovery the table had shrank. We saw the girls
maneuvering to position themselves in favor with Robert. The last quarter
showed the nomination preparation. It looked so strange to have just one
key in the box. The meeting, was of course, short. Robert said that
he nominated Ali because he fears her as a competitor. In a DR scene Ali
said, "If Robert saved Erika because he likes her and thinks he can have
relationship with her he's a complete retard." (I don't think there will
be clips of this show.) Meanwhile, back in the house.... The HGs
are biting their nails as BB sets up for the PoV contest in the BY. Jun
thinks she saw a Ferris wheel outside. There's just casual talk about
movies, tattoos and stuff until the food arrives.
6:36PM
Dinner Arrives. There's so much food again tonight. They got
sushi, and tempura and teriyaki for Alison. Ali squeals as they
explain to her what they ordered, "Just show me where the normal people food
is." They got yellowtail, tuna, eel, salmon, rainbow rolls, California
roll, etc.. Ali's grossed out when Rob finds some Tako (octopus).
Ali is somewhat brave and tries some of the more common rolls. Robert says
Justin wouldn't have tried it (he didn't eat his challenge in "The Clambake from
Hell"). For dessert they got strawberry, chocolate, green tea, and mango
Mochi ice cream (ice cream in rice paper). Erika wants to go
Greek tomorrow night. The HGs think they're eating much better than the
people in the jury house. I hope they show us dinner in the jury house
next week. 7:35PM The PoV Challenge will start in 60 minutes (so says
the BB voice). at 7:55PM the voice said that the PoV will start in 90 minutes.
When asked for clarification, BB "John" said "Art takes time." and the contest
will start in between 60 and 90 minutes. BB told Robert that this will be like
nothing you've seen before.
Ali spends about a half hour looking at the pictures of Donny and her
brother. She whispers something to them, and appears to get choked up.
She ends up sitting on the floor by the bathtub.
9:35PM: After a few false starts the competition began. The
feeds switched to FotH and stayed that way until:
11:07PM. Ali won PoV! There were some mental and physical skills
required. There were eight numbered stairs involved. Jun got a bruised leg and Ali got a minor injury to her finger.
Ali won PoV! And it just wouldn't be Big Brother if there weren't some
technical problems that allow people to question the outcome. We heard
Erika say that something wasn't lit, and Robert saying "yeah, that's bullshit."
Then FotH. Later Jun said the props weren't even nailed together and
everything was "coming apart at the seams." This last PoV is called "The
Diamond PoV" it carries no special powers (that we've been told of), but it is
the last PoV of the game. When Alison uses the PoV (I don't think
it's Monday, I think it's live again Wednesday), Robert will put up Erika in her
place. The only voter will be Alison, who will decide who the final three
will be. These are the rules as I understand them. We've been promised
some final twists, but with so few players they better start twisting.
11:53PM Ali tells Robert, "We can collaborate" Robert replies,
"Oh sure, well we can talk any time." Ali has said that she wants to go to
the finals with Robert. I'm not sure why, in one breath she says because
she stands a better chance of being voted the cash, and in the next breath she
says there's no one that she go up with and win. Right now she's talking
to Erika like Jun's leaving, but she said the opposite in the DR scenes of
the previous show. I think Ali's keeping Jun and dumping Erika.
Midnight: Jun is in the DR. Ali says "I'm so happy I'm
safe." Erika tells Alison, "I told you I wouldn't vote you out, I wouldn't
lie, I gave you my word." Robert expresses my thoughts, "It would be
difficult to introduce a surprise now." Ali: "Oh yeah, at this point
I wouldn't want any surprises." 12:15AM The girls all down some Tylenol PM®
to insure some sleep tonight. Jun doesn't seem too nervous, Erika looks
like she could cry. While Robert's outside Alison makes a quick apology, "I'm so
sorry things didn't work out, he's the one that's supposed to be leaving." |

Thursday, September 4,
2003: Jun & Alison Nominated |
|
Fan Does the
Math |
| I do not answer math questions (it's in the
contract), but for those of you that asked, Brett Harvey writes this
solution: "The HGs entered July 5.
The Ex's entered at midnight July 6th. 26 days in July. 31 days in August. 2
days in Sept. That's 58 days. (1416) Add 18 hours they had been in the
house yesterday (Sept 3). 1434 hours."
Thank You Brett!
Now, please everyone, let me get back to the
show! |
10:00AM BBT BB Wakes the HGs with the
usual announcement, but today it was followed by some Mexican fiesta music from
last night's piñata party. Jun and Ali are barely out of bed before they start
whispering strategies. They both had nightmares last night and they think
it was the food. Jun says she's never going to eat again.
10:30AM The house is in LD. Jun explains that
she didn't mean it literally when she said she'd never going to eat again.
Somewhere along the line Ali missed the scoop that Erika
did commercials. Ali also asked about Erika appearing in Stuff
Magazine, and Erika says she hasn't seen the picture yet because it came
out after she got in the house. In case you missed it,
here it is.
I forgot to mention that last night that when the HGs came
in from the food competition they found the dining room table shrank again.
Erika's still perplexed over one of the questions from the
HoH contest. Jack was asked who he thought was the most attractive person
in the house. Jack answered "Nathan." Erika has been trying to figure out
why he would say that. She thinks that all of America will think Jack was
attracted to Nathan. She seems to be adjusting to it today. Robert
and Ali didn't understand why Jack would say that either. The question was
referring to the BB house, but I'm wondering if Jack thought it referred
to the sequester house, where Nate is the prettiest person there.
The foursome are still talking about what they saw on the
HoH contest answer tape with the jury in paradise. Alison is sure that
Justin is sick of Dana by now. They wonder if Nathan is more fun out
of the game than in. They think Justin and Nate both look well fed, and
Dana looks more muscular and scary.
Robert clarifies that they won food from any style
restaurant, it doesn't have to be Mexican. Tonight they picked Indian
food. Other nights can be Surf 'n' Turf, Japanese, whatever they decide on
as a group.
12:25PM While Ali's in the DR, they all talk about
dumping Ali, and they all seem to be in agreement. Jun says the house will
be more pleasant without her. I think Jun's sincere, but she and Ali made
a deal to pretend to be against the each other. Erika says,
"She's going to hate me." Jun can't understand how Ali's father could send
her in here and tell her to flirt and manipulate men. Jun wants her out to
teach her that she can't go through life like that. Ali's told all
of them she's going to win PoV. The frightening thing is, Ali's really
good at predicting these things.

Robert in his
nominatin' clothes |
Jun leaves Erika and Robert alone. Robert says it's
the two of them to the end. They apologize to each other for the eviction
attempts and general nastiness. Robert is sincere, Erika might be too, or
might just be covering another base. Erika: "I got to take Ali out."
Robert: "Yeah Erika, and don't worry that you have to do this one bad thing, no
one will hold it against you. Everyone knows you played this game cleaner
than any one else."

The supply room has been stocked
with food. |
12:40PM Outside LD. This is not nomination
time. Nominations will be today, later. The HGs will get an hour
advance notice. 1:10PM LD over. The HGs go inside to find the
supply room has been re-stocked with food.
3:50PM Still waiting for the nomination meeting.
4:10PM Meeting starts.
4:17PM Meeting over
4:30PM Outside LD LD, over in a few minutes. I'm assuming they did
the meeting. No one is talking about it. If Robert did anything
other than nominate Ali and Jun I'd be very surprised. 5:05PM , Jun
prepares a big salad buffet for the HGs. After they eat they nap.
Robert knocks around the house for a while before going to his room at 5:40PM to
listen to the CD that Ali and Jun hate. And that about it, still no
mention of anyone being nominated. It's all very dull. 7:00PM Nap
Time Over Robert tells Erika that he thinks the jury will
respect them even more for getting to the end after them being enemies.
Robert also tells Erika that from here on in it's OK to lie to Ali. Robert
is excited, upbeat, and happy. On Sunday Robert celebrates one
year and nine months without a drink. 7:45PM Erika's deep in thought,
Alison asks what she's thinking about, "Home" she replies. Alison wants to
go home too, she says she even misses the smell of home. Erika's afraid
her place will look small after her summer in the BB house. Erika and Ali
try to remember how BB3 ended. You can read
Week 11 of BB3, and every week of
both BB2 & BB3 by selecting from the drop-down menu on the archive pages.
8:10PM The Food is in the Supply Room. The
HGs are amazed at the amount of food BB provided them with.
8:50PM Sex Talk Erika, Ali and Jun are
talking about walking in on their parents. Jun tells of being seven and
walking in on her mother giving her father oral. Jun thought it was the grossest
thing she ever saw. She told all her friends, who told their parents, who
went back and told Jun's parents. The stories go on and Jun says the rats
in NY have mated with the squirrels and the result is really gross, she said she
saw one. This is an old urban legend, the rat/squirrel doesn't exist.
Speaking of things that don't exist, Ali doubts Erika's show business credits
(she really was in at least a movie and a Burger King commercial). Ali
sneered as she tells Jun that Erika said she belongs to "some union," SAG
(Screen Actor's Guild), which Ali never heard of.
9:15PM Robert's still asking Erika if she's cool
with going to the end with him. She says she is. Jun joins the
conversation which switches to Jee's drinking and Justin's pot smoking.
They wonder is Justin's bought any if he's in Mexico.
10:00PM Erika and Ali shooting hoops, and Ali
talking trash about Jun. Robert told Ali last night that he's going to
throw the PoV challenge so he's not targeted. Ali believes it.
They're talking strategy and votes, but as they know, it all depends the
PoV winner. Ali does admit that there's no one she could to to the finals
that would get less votes than her, but it's important that she goes, "Second
place would pay for my tuition."
10:15PM
Jun comes out of the DR, where she twisted BB Daniel's words to mean that she's
become fat. Jun was a smoker until a week prior to entering the BB house.
She attributes her weight gain to not smoking. They talk about which BB
interviewers they think will be cute when they meet them. Jun likes Daniel
and Ralph, so does Erika. Alison's never talked to Matt, but Jun's "had
Matt twice." They seem very certain that the PoV contest is
tomorrow. While all this talk goes on outside, Robert is sitting alone in
his room. He looks sad. His door is open, maybe he's lonely.
The night ended with a lot more game talk between the
alliances. I think the three girls play a game without trust for anyone,
Robert has put all his trust in Erika. |

Wednesday, September 3,
2003: Robert Wins HoH -
Jee Evicted |
|
Is there a twist in tonight's live PoV meeting? Will a
HG be offered cash in exchange for an eviction free week? Who will win
HoH? Get the answer to these and other exciting questions on tonight's
live broadcast of Big Brother 4. Then, stick around for the Latin Grammys,
live on CBS. Now because of the Grammys, Big Brother may be seen at
different times in different areas. I use
Yahoo's TV
Listings. Just type "Big Brother" in the search box, enter your zip
code, set your listings and you'll always be able to find your favorite shows.
9:30AM It's the first wake-up call. As usual,
Jun's up before the nasty voice wake-up call. It takes DR calls to get Ali
and Erika up. Jun's moving her things out of the HoH room. They are
in an indoor LD. The piñatas they made last night are no longer in the
storage room.
 |
| In July, when CBS released the press photos of this
year's house guests, people said that they picked models and stacked the
house with pretty faces. People wrote me asked why they never pick
average looking people. Has anyone changed their mind yet? |
Jun thinks she heard Robert and Erika making a deal this morning and she
tells Ali. Ali and Jun might be re-thinking who gets the nomination and
votes tonight. As Jun was overheard saying to Jee, "This could be an
interesting show after all."
12:15PM The HGs have in an outdoor LD for about an hour now.
They're all complaining they have to pee, they want to come in. My dog's
the same way, put her out, she wants in, bring her in and she wants out.
Finally BB lets them back in. They find they have a new TV monitor.
1:30PM is the start of another indoor LD. Ali naps during this LD, while
Robert does the windows, Jun shaves her legs, and Jee showers. 2:45PM
BB "John" gave the HGs some stage instructions for tonight's live show. He
also told them that the winner of this week's HoH will be allowed to compete for
HoH next week, and there will be a golden PoV competition this week.
BB's Instructions [4 minutes]
4:15PM They've showered, they've shaved, they've plucked, primped and
polished for tonight's big show. Just 45 minutes to go. Tonight's
Broadcast: We had a review of where everyone stands, and a tease that
Ali might not use the PoV, and Jun confirming (again) that her alliance
with Jee is over. The second quarter profiled Robert's bragging about
knowing everyone in Hollywood. Erika says that not only is he not well
connected, he isn't even employed any more. Erika hopes his lying is
strategic, and not a sign that he has a problem.
Rob stretches truth
[3 minutes]  We got another update from the jury house.
At the jury house
[2 minutes]
When we returned the HGs did the live PoV meeting where Ali teased everyone,
leading them to believe she wasn't going to use the PoV, and then removing herself
from the block. Jun put Robert up in her place.
PoV Meeting
[2 minutes]  The second half began with
Robert and Jee giving their
reasons why they should stay. Ali was the first to vote, and voted to
evict Jee, Erika went in and also voted to evict Jee. Jee told Julie he didn't
mind getting voted out because he felt like he was in a cage. Julie asked
Jee what he thought of his teammate when he referred to the women of the house
as "bitches, sluts and whores." Jee was diplomatic in his reply when he
said "Robert may have some issues with women, but he was always loyal to me and
the alliance."
The
HoH contest was a trivia game about the evicted guests. The HGs were asked
how they thought the evicted HG would respond to various questions. After
the HGs chose their answer, either "A" or "B," they were shown the
evictee's answer. After 8 questions, the score was tied, 5 to 5 between Robert
and Erika. The tie-breaker question was, "Since the moment the x's entered
the house, how many total hours have they been in the house?" Robert
answers 800. Erika answers1440. The correct answer is 1434,
Erika only off by 6, but she went over, so Robert Won! I
can't freakin' believe that things have gotten so bad that I'm happy that Robert
won! The HoH competition
[8 minutes] 
Starting at 10PM ET, tonight, the polls open for 24 hours on this week's
America's Choice question, "Which House Guest would you like to see receive a
T-Mobile phone call? Click Here to vote.
In the show's closing, Julie says, "The women have taken a fall, who will
Robert target for revenge?” The HGs are in the kitchen talking about
how the evicted HGs looked on the videos. They think Nathan gained
weight, but they're all trying to figure out where they are. The know it's
not LA. Robert says “They are in a beautiful place!” Alison thinks
it’s Hawaii. Alison is already kissing up to Robert and put his name in the
HoH position on the supply room door. Of course she's also working on
Erika, who makes a very important point, "It doesn't matter who he puts up, the
veto changes everything." Ali says her plan for the moment is to get
drunk.
 |
Robert gets his room
[Click to Enlarge] |
7:35PM Erika looks for Robert and can't find him, she thinks BB took
him out of the house like they did Jun. 7:48PM Robert got his room and a
letter from his mom, a white butterfly from Elena. He got Gatorade, new sneakers, snacks,
chocolate cookie dough ice cream, a Sigma Chi shirt, a bunch of Paul Mitchell
hair products, Doritos (which Jun asked if she could open right away),
Chips-A-Hoy Cookies. He
was called back to the DR to talk about the letter so we don't know the name of
the CD or if he got Kleenex.
8:15PM The HGs don't know it yet, but there's going to be a piñata
competion for food tonight. The cameramen are showing the live feed
viewers the backyard all decorated for the challenge. At 8:20PM Robert
gives the girls the wardrobe for the Latin themed contest.

Food Competition: The piñatas have Mexican Pesos in them.
The amount they collect will determine what kind of a meal they receive. They
need more than 500 or they get PB&J, over $500 and they get their regular
groceries. 1400 and above and they get a Mexican food from a popular chain
restaurant. 2400 and up they'll select their meals from the menu of a four star
Mexican restaurant every night. Tonight they will get Mexican food from
the four star restaurant and margaritas.
After they smash the piñata and the contents hit the ground they have 10 seconds
to collect and put pesos into collection baskets. Jun went first, smashing
her highly decorated New York star piñata to smithereens. Jun collected 650
Pesos. Erika was up next, breaking open "Joey" the dog piñata and bringing
in just 170 Pesos. Alison swung and beat the stuffings out of "Donny" the
Native American and brought in more Mexican mullah. Robert competed last
and brought in the most bringing the total to 2880 (I swear, I don't want any
more math questions tonight) and the HGs won the deluxe meal package for the
week. They're also excited that they now have some Pesos to use when they
bet playing cards. If I were Robert I'd be very afraid after seeing
Ali and Jun swinging those sticks.
Piñata Party
[16 minutes]
(Note: If you watch all the way to the end, during the FotH, you'll see
the guy that cleans the moat.)
9:50PM
Ali and Erika do the math again on the HoH tie-breaker question. They
think there's been a mistake. By their calculations Erika was right.
They're thinking of going to the DR, but the food arrives.
The HGs really did get a beautiful Mexican dinner with ambiance and all.
11:48PM As you can imagine Alison is telling Jun
what a lying bitch Erika is and how much she hates her. Ali knows that her
and Jun will be nominated, but Alison is positive that she or Jun will win
PoV, forcing Robert to nominate Erika, thus leaving either Jun or Ali free to
cast the single vote needed to evict Erika. Ali thinks Erika's flirting with
Robert and says she should just sleep with him and get it over with, "I
fuckin' despise her." Despite what Ali says, Erika is not doing any
different than she did before Robert was HoH, although with Jee gone,
Robert is talking to Erika more.
Ali's telling her best friend Jun, "I don't want that fucking bitch to win, I
don't want either of them to win." And while Ali's working on that,
Erika told Robert that she trusts Ali, and it's Jun that should leave this
week. Luckily Jee's last word to Rob was get rid of Ali, and Rob is still
mad at Ali's suggestion that he [Robert] just quit and leave. Erika agrees
to go along with the plan to take out Ali.
Earlier BB told Alison she could keep the Mexican money she found during the
food competition. Later the bills were gone. She carried on like she
had been robbed by CBS. At midnight she was called into the DR, and they
gave her the Pesos. When she told Jun she got them back, Jun said the wad
was worth about $70, and Ali was quite pleased.
Before the night's over Jun and Erika do some whispering. Erika tells
Jun that Robert wants her out. Jun tells Erika that Ali's mad at her
for being friends with Robert, and that Ali's mad that Robert won. Jun
seems somewhat honest with Erika, but it's only to Jun advantage to do so.

Tuesday, September 2,
2003: Practice and Packing |
|
9:45AM BBT Wake up call, followed by second wake up,
and then the nasty version of the wake-up call, all within a few minutes.
The HGs wake up to an indoor LD. They think BB is getting ready for
something cool, like maybe a concert, but I think they're just building the
props for tomorrow's HoH contest. I suspect that when the LD is over
they'll be allowed to practice the challenge. They'll tape their goodbye
messages to everyone, and everyone must pack this week. The PoV meeting
will be live on tomorrow's show, then the live eviction vote, I wouldn't put it
past Big Brother to throw in a twist too. Jun's
horniness has reached epic proportions. The subject of most conversations
is: sex, sex and sex.
11:20AM False Alarm. The HGs go outside, find
nothing set-up, and start raising the shade. The sexy voice female BB tells
them, "The LD isn't over, please lower the shades and go back inside."
NOON: The HGs trade the indoor LD for an outdoor
LD. 1:30PM HGs got break from the LD to use the bathroom, then
back outside. Nothing going on just cards and laying in the sun.
2:30PM After a few FotH, the LD is over and it's time for lunch. 3:00PM
the HGs are inside doing ADLs, and I heard Jun say they're still in LD.
Jee is packing and sounds certain that he's leaving. Rob's counting the
days AGAIN, and assures Jee the game will be over of the 17th.
Robert asked Erika if she'd go out with him after the
show. They had this talk before and it was said as friends, to dinner,
this time it was like a date. Erika said she'd have to think about it.
 |
|
The girls sleep while boys pick and
scratch.
All this LIVE for just $24.95 |
3:20PM There's something going on in LA
outside the BB house. You can hear multiple helicopters and police sirens.
There's really nothing going on inside the house.
4:20PM While the girls sleep, Robert and Jee play cards and listen
to the sounds of the outside wall. Robert tells Jee that if he wins HoH,
Ali and Jun go up. He really can't stand Ali, it would be Erika's choice if the
rules are they same this year. There's something twisted about that
scenario, I might like to see that.
Tonight's Broadcast: Tonight's show picked up
where Friday's left off, with Jun at the VMA Awards in New York on day 55.
We saw Erika so very envious of Jun winning a trip, and Ali so devious, crying
fake tears to get on Erika's side. We saw Robert picking Erika as the girl
he'd like to see win. The second quarter opened with Jee's proposal
to Ali to use the PoV to save a guy, forcing Jun to nominate Erika. Then Jun
came home and told her story.
Envy and tears
[5 minutes]
Jun Comes Home
[3 minutes] Then Jun got her HoH room, and her note from Bob.
Jun gets her room
[2 minutes] After the girls left her room Jee told her that the girls were two-faced and
hated her for going to the VMAs. And then the girls came in and trashed
the boys. The last scene was Jee getting his birthday pie. The broadcast explained why its so difficult to tell what
Ali's doing. Ali told Jun that she wants Erika out, then tells Jun she
wants Erika out. Ali was trying to make sure that either Jun or Erika
would take them to the end, but then Ali changed her mind and decided to go to
the end with Robert because she'd get more votes. I feel she'd come in
second to anyone, and I thought she felt the same.
The second half of the show starts with the HGs wondering
what's going on at the jury house, which lead to the video project, and the
screening that followed.
The HGs make and view a video
[2 minutes]  A quick scene of Ali assuring Erika that Robert won't make
to the finals. Then Ali talks to Jun about getting rid of Erika because she
might have a deal with Robert (poor Donny).
 |
"Robert, you are safe." |
The
final quarter of the show Jee asking Jun for mercy. Jee tells Jun that
Robert doesn't like her or Ali. Jee tells Jun that he'd put up Ali and
Erika if he wins HoH again. The nomination meeting followed and Jee might
not feel the same after Jun nominated him along with Ali, who holds the PoV.
The look on Robert's face when he got his key was priceless. Jun cleared
up any thoughts I had about her having an alliance with Jee, when she said she
got him out of her life once, and she's going to do it again.
Nominations
[4 minutes] 
Meanwhile, Back at the House... Nothing
happened. Ali tells Erika she was in her dream, they were on "The Price
is Right."
6:50PM Erika asks Robert, who's taking a shower,
what's bothering him. He says, "Nothing." Erika asks, "Was it anything I
did?" Robert answers, "No." Jun notes that everyone is in a bad mood, and
Erika corrects her, that she, Erika, is in a very good mood.
7:00PM Ali tells Jun that Robert asked Erika out on
a date. Jun says if could be a as friends, but "Either way, we gotta stop
that shit." Jun helps Ali rehearse questions for the next HoH competition
so Erika won't win.
Your Questions: More people than I have time to
write to asked if the HGs got to watch the whole MTV VMA Awards. When Jun was at the VMA, the HGs got to see scenes from the
show. When they came back from a FotH, they were talking about seeing Jun
in the front row near Madonna. This wasn't shown on MTV. What they
were allowed to see was over, shortly after the show started.
7:25PM
Project: Piñata A brief indoor LD, then outside to see that
BB has given the HGs piñatas to decorate. Robert sees a giant
cardboard star that's to be his piñata and says "I don't want to do it. Keep
it white." and goes back inside. No one knows what's bugging him.
Later he's called into the DR, when he returns he adds another piece of paper to
his piñata and draws a face on it and is done again. Jun got a giant
star, Jee got a dinosaur, Ali got an Indian brave (Donny is a Native American),
and Erika got a dog.
Making piñatas
[13 minutes]

Alison works on Native American
Donny |
9:00PM Dinner Break Robert didn't eat with the
others, he took his food out on the patio. Erika is asked if Rob ever acted
like this when they were together, "I wouldn't stand for it.
If he acted like that, at a restaurant or on a date I would have told him to snap
out of it or I'm outta there."
Jee joined Rob after a while
and asked what was bothering him. Robert said it's not the girls, he just
can't stand being in the house anymore.
10:10PM After dinner Jee
stayed with Robert for a while before returning to the craft project outside.
Robert stayed in the house. Rob was sniffling more than usual, it was hard
to tell if it was emotional or allergies. He ends up listening to Jun's
music in the HoH room. The others continued working on
the piñatas. Ali and Erika finish around 11:15PM, Jee and Jun complete
theirs around midnight. Robert talks to Erika about wanting to see her
again. He asks why she said she'd have to think about it. She
says it's because he took her by surprise "It was right out of the blue."
He says he knows he shouldn't be doing these things, he doesn't know why he is
screwing things up like this, "I mean like can we go dancing something?"
Erika says, "Sure, why not. But I think we should become friends again
before we think about going further." Robert says he has something to tell
her but they're never alone, someone's always there. He asks where Ali is,
he wants to tell her now, but Erika's not sure, and before the words are spoken
there are people around again. Robert says that even if he was to win HoH
he would still be miserable. Jun and Ali talk about going to the finals with
Robert instead of Erika. They both hate Robert, but feel that he's not a
threat and not a good enough player to win HoH. Ali says that Robert is
such a looser, but the people back in the jury house don't know that. Jun
says, "Yeah, but Jee will tell them how he's been." Ali is so stressed
she's talking to herself.
12:15AM While Erika and Ali play rummy, Jun gives Robert a
massage. Jee has his stuff packed in huge suitcase. Later he joins
the girls in their card game. 1:30AM Robert and Jee are still up.
Robert's telling Jee how evil Jun is, and to make sure he takes it back to the
jury house. 1:45AM Everyone's in bed.
