Which former HG's middle name is "Kemerer" Alison Kemerer Irwin of BB4

8:50AM BBT:  Sleeping  9:00AM  Erika is awake and creeps out of HoH room..  She stands on balcony and looks down below.   She stands there for a few moments before goes downstairs and into the bug room and looks around before going to the dinning room table and sits down. she seems to be staring at the memory board of pictures.  After a few minutes of this, she walks into the bathroom area saying "Hello? Hello?" and then sits on the couch in the bathroom area.  [The whole time she was walking around she had her arms crossed... very weird behavior. -fizzle] 9:25AM Erika goes back to bed.  George gets up, weighs himself, back to bed.  Might be wake-up music.

10:00AM Mike is up and eating cereal while Erika listens to Cold Play in the HoH room.  10:30AM Must be a musical wake-up, it's been going on for a while now.  10:40AM The feeds return and we find George in SR changing his batteries, and Mike in the gym on the treadmill.    BB:  "I said: It's time to get up for the day."   BB's announcement is intended for Will and Janelle who are still in bed.  Lots of FotH this morning.  11:00AM Danielle tells Will and Janelle to get up, she was told that today's food competition would really be fun.  Will gets up, Janelle stays in bed.  

Will and Mike are dressed as bumble bees, ala John Belushi on SNL  and Erika is dressed as a flower.  The birds and the bees will gather nectar and squeeze it into the giant flowers that are on rotating platforms.   The HGs can win prizes too, but you know, prizes come at an expense.  Will sees a trampoline and wants everyone to agree a day of slop so he can get the trampoline for the house.  They're also looking for a slop pass to give George.  It looks like they're ready to begin and we get .  It's been this way for quite some time,  we may not get to see this one.  See the Video

12:45PM BBT:  The challenge is over and wasn't shown on the feeds. Based on the conversation, they gave up some food to win the trampoline, and George is thanking everyone, so it sounds like they found some way for him to eat.  They didn't get any milk or dairy, no bread, but they did win meat and liqueur,  Will hopes they'll give them some Mike's Hard Lemonade, since they didn't win any fruit.  They won alternating days of slop and meat and booze, and then a five star dinner (I think on Sunday). Mike hurt his knee in the latest comp and says "At least it isn't 10 stitches and a ride to Cedars." (Cedars/Sinai is the hospital in LA where they took him after he cut his toe.) He's icing his knee in the green room. Looks like he's on Erika's bed because she went in there to get her bathing suit from the drawer beneath it.

Sunday is Christmas in the BB house, and just like in the real world, it has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus, it's just about how many presents you can get. 

While Erika tries to scrub the green dye of off her from her flower costume.  Mike and Will do some conspiring.  Mike says he's pretty sure he can talk Erika into not nominating him.  They have to make sure Janelle doesn't win PoV.   Later Will gets to talk to Erika, they whisper, but the general meaning is that Erika's not going to put him up,  "But Janelle can not win PoV, she's ruining my life.".  The plan is, that this week they vote out Janelle, next week Erika votes out George, and the following week Will votes out Danielle.  [Except, next Thursday, there will be two evictions.]

1:35PM BBT: Danielle realizes that James stole her pink robe.  Will is still in the HoH talking strategy to Erika.  Janelle is talking with George in the kitchen.  Janelle asks if they have brown sugar and honey to put on her slop,  she says she doesn't mind eating that way, it's like oatmeal. Meanwhile, George is eating a steak. 

Will's shoveling it to Erika, saying that Janelle told him that she has to come after him, so Will says he has to take out Janelle.  He also busts Janelle for having a deal with Danielle, a one week truce that Will knows means nothing.  He paints Danielle as cut-throat, and needs to go before she throws them under the bus the way she did to James, crying crocodile tears over their departure.  "Danielle is going to do whatever she has to for her family, and she won't care who she takes down.  But with Janelle I know she's coming after me--  I don't know I just fear Danielle more, like I know where Janelle's coming from." 

2:00PM BBT:  Will keeps going, feeding Erika all the info she'll need to do what he want her to. Will keeps talking and talking, it would make a good drinking game, do a shot every time Will says, "I don't trust Danielle."  Erika wisely says, "I think everyone here is dangerous."  Will concurs saying, "Oh yeah, it's a fucking snake pit." 

6:00PM BBT:  Feeds are back.  George and Janelle have been nominated for eviction.   And that's all the news.  George returns from the DR to tell the HGs that they must remove everything from the red room, BB is closing it down. 

7:10PM BBT:  Will and the other HGs got their trampoline.  Will jumps on the trampoline and urges Boogie to come in.  Tells Boogie to do the Windmill (rap dancing) which he does several times.  Will continues to jump, telling Boogie he will bounce him upright. Erika laments,  "Don't step on him!.  You guys are making me nervous."  Then we get FotH.

Feeds back and Will gets off trampoline to go inside and get something to keep his hair out of his face.  While he is gone, Erika and Danielle get on and jump around for a while. Danielle shouts out to her kids "Look Mommy's on the trampoline!"   She jumps a little longer and says that this hard work, she's getting off. I'm old.   Oh Jesus, I'm tired.   That's exercise."  See the Video 

Stop the Presses:  Danielle has found her ratty pink robe, it was not stolen by James [James can't do anything right -M] 

Everyone in the house knows the game plan for this week,  it doesn't stop them from talking about it, but it's all been written here before. 

8:30PM BBT:  In the BY, George is reveling in the fact that he made it this far.  He tells Danielle again that it's important to him that this game can make someone's dreams come true.  Danielle puts in her pitch for "family," a not too subtle reminder that only her and him have families to support.  George is thrilled with the new budget,  on BB1 he said he only got paid around $1600.   Danielle tells him it's because of her that there's sequester and all that money too.  George doesn't get it that people like Marcellas and Will aren't impressed with a fancy tropical beach house, and hate the sequester factor,  he says they should be shaking Danielle's for giving them sequester.  Danielle says she and George are "cut from different cloth than the rest of the players."  She considers herself a strong person but feels she gets the strength from her family.  Since she doesn't have her family in the BB house,  she feels like an emotional wreck.  She feels lost this season because she has no clear enemies, not like in her season, there's no one she really wants to evict.  

[Just to review:  In past seasons, each HG would be paid $750 a week for appearing on the show,  whether in the house or in sequester.  In order to entice these big stars back into the house,  this year they're being paid $4,000 a week to be in the house,  and $5,000 for each week in sequester.  An interesting twist is that if they win,  their paid is deducted from the $500,000 and even the $50,000 prizes which means Marcellas will get more than the second place winner.] 

8:45PM BBT:  Everyone's sitting around wondering what food BB has left them.  Finally Boogie says, "Well hell, I have noting to do I'll go to the SR and look."  So Boogie. Will and Danielle go to check on supplies.  The SR refrigerator as lots of meat in it.  Will spots a package of tofu and tells them to throw it out, "Even Erika won't eat that shit."  They agree that they goofed it by not playing for dairy.  Danielle is especially angry that they don't have rice.  Will says there better be liquor every night.  Mike finds tuna and asks if they have mayo, which they do.  Will says he's really hungry and is going to make salsa soup.   "We lost cereal, and bread, rice isn't either."  Danielle complains again, then she finds some Parmesan cheese and some bacon in the fridge.   George comes into kitchen and says he'll have dinner with them, he's cooking fish.  Will's going to marinate some chicken, they can't eat it until midnight. 

9:00PM BBT:  Mike and George are going to get some HT time, "That'll kill an hour." Boogie says. 

9:45PM BBT:  Sitting around the HT, they talk about internet fans and live feeds.  Danielle again tell Boogie that her favorite site is RealityBBQ, because everything she needs to know is "Boom, right on the front page.  Who won HoH?  Boom, there it is."  [She should lean to use bookmarks then maybe she'd be a fan of Morty's] Will knows of a family that almost split because of dad's addiction to the live feeds.  Tonight we're referred to as "loyal fans" instead of "losers."  They're really excited about Christmas coming Sunday.  They're hoping for snow and eggnog, and Christmas carols.  Will expects some cheap gifts, Danielle reminds they've already gotten some good stuff, and last year there was a plasma screen given away.  I'm hoping Santa checks his list and gives coal where appropriate. 

10:00PM BBT:  Will's in the shower, George is in the HT with Mike, Danielle is on the red patio couch and Janelle isn't shown anywhere, she tends to sleep through prime time then stays up all nights trying to keep Will awake.

10:30PM BBT:  Mike's doing shout-outs to someone I think the name is "Joe Vance" and asks if Joker's Updates is the only site where people type out everything they say.  Mike wants this Joe Vance person to go there and see how many times he's mentioned his name.  Then Mike says there's this other really great site and we get FotH. [Now we know it had to our turn for props, but I'd rather an endorsement from someone that gets it. -M]  He goes on to do his routine about the HGs that were put in the house by America's Choice and how he's sending them all back to us.  "Hey America, you like Kaysar so much, well than we're sending him back to you."  Mike came in last place in the voting to place HGs in the house. 

11:00PM BBT:  George in the shower, Janelle in bed, haven't seen Erika,  Mike,  Will and Danielle playing cards. 

11:15PM BBT: Another trip to the SR brings better news, there's wine, beer, shark mahi-mahi, turkey sausage, Buffalo wings,  and shrimp.  They can't wait to grill the sausage, but they soon find out they're out of propane.

Midnight:  Will finds the mahi-mahi George cooked and complains that everything cooks is terrible, "It looks like possum, some one has got to tell him he can't cook.  I say tomorrow we draw straws for someone to tell him."   Will gets Janelle out of bed.

12:45AM BBT:  Boogie and Will now up in HoH talking strategy   Will is laying out his strategy for getting him,  Boogie, and Janelle to final three.

Will: "My plan is to have Janelle be friendly with them.  This is what we have to say:  'Erika,  you can't beat Janelle in finals,  you can't beat Danielle either.  Danielle's trying to get us to try and get rid of you, you can't play HoH next week.   Danielle's coming to you and saying let's get rid of Chill Town,  Danielle's coming to us and saying let's get rid of you.  At least with Janelle you know where she's stand.   We're friends with her.  Get a truce with Janelle,  let's get rid of Danielle,  we get rid of Chicken George next week --  It'll be the final four dating show.'"

Boogie : "Thing is,  it's hard to sell Janelle--   It's like these girls' their minds are so like . . .   Imagine if we weren't with Janelle and someone brought this up [SamtheCat was transcribing when her feeds went down, but basically Boogie was trying to tell Will that Erika will never go for it.]

1:00AM BBT:  Will, Janelle, Danielle George, and Erika are at the kitchen table playing poker.  A nice friendly game.  Will says he's tired and hopes they turn the lights off.  1:30AM BB:  "Attention HGs, the lights will go off in thirty minutes." 

2:15AM BBT:  In the HoH room, Mike is trying to sell Will's plan to Erika.  He suggests that if she wins PoV tomorrow that she use it to save Janelle so he can backdoor Danielle.  [Scandalous!]  Mike tells Erika that Danielle told him that she wanted to take Erika out.  Now Erika questions this, "But she knows that we have a relationship, why would she tell you that?  Does she feel that safe?"  "I don't know maybe." Mike replies and gets up to get some water.  Mike gets back in bed and Erika says, "If I find out that you have been playing me I will kick your ass. Have you?"    "Why have you asked me that two nights in a row?  You're scaring me."  They brush if off as suspicion caused by questions asked in the DR.  Regardless of backdooring Danielle, Mike tells Erika she's going to have to get closer to Janelle and make nice with her.  There's a strong possibility Janelle could be HoH next week. 

3:00AM BBT:  All the little schemers are in bed with visions of $500,000 dancing in their head.
