Here is a recap of the day so far. I stopped watching feeds mid-afternoon because my Internet kept going down. So, a huge thank-you to the updaters who posted this afternoon.
Reminder: This recap is rough and unedited.
Also, during a good part of the day there were only two feeds, and sometimes the feeds switched quickly or in mid-conversation.
_______________
In brief--It was pretty uneventful morning, although we did find out that Thursday’s vote will be live. (That is, The HG’s will go into the DR to quickly cast their votes during the live show.) The HG’s were called into the DR today as usual, but only to record their comments for Thur's show and to practice live voting. There was not a lot of strategy talk until mid-afternoon, when first when first Drew/Cowboy, and then Adria/Natalie had long strategy conversations.
MORNING
Before the bell: Drew and Diane stayed up talking until almost 6 am. Their lengthy conversation is covered in the August 17 recap. (Thanks nch962!)
The official wake-up call comes at about 9 am...Low-key chit chatting in kitchen...Will tells Nak about waking up at 5 am and finding Drew and the “ex-stripper” (his words) talking in the BR...As each new HG comes into the kitchen Will tells them about finding Dr/Di talking in BR...The HG’s are on inside lockdown...CB is on the LR couch, but looks like he’s sleeping sitting up...Diane comes into the kitchen and W kids her that she was taking “art classes” with Drew at 5 am....Karen talks to Dr on couch while Dr tries to stay awake....Discuss how hard it is to be away from family, stresses of being on BB....K says she tried to vent in the DR and got in “big trouble,” they called in the “big guns.” (K never gives more detail about what that means.)...K says she feels better that she is not the only one stressed from being in the House....Will/Nak/M in the kitchen talk about Will’s dream last night that Kyan from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy met him at a club and asked him out.
Diane is the first to get called to the DR about 10:00 am...W/A/Nat/Dr sitting at kitchen table chatting.....Ask Dr why he stayed up so late last night...Drew says it was a combination of being “crazy” and not being able to sleep...Twin says “Those young relationships keep you up late hours.”....Will wants to shave his hair and put racing stripes in it. Worried about how it will look and how long it will take to grow back...M (kiddingly): “The gay dude is doing it, so it’s okay”....Talk about fashion in London, Japan, NY...then Halloween costumes. Both A&Nat are really into Halloween...Last year Will dressed as Justin Timberlake.
The HG’s finally get to go outside sometime after 10:30 am....Di/Nak/W chatting...Di tells Nak a story about Dr scaring her with a piece of grass, telling her it was a spider...Say Mindy is in the DR today...”She’s so much fun.”...They’ve tried to get Mindy to tell them what she looks like, what color her hair is, but she won’t say.
Will starts game talk about twins about 10:45....He says he is practicing his “bitchy, catty, queeny” speech (his words) if he wins HOH and noms the twins...Diane tells him that’s cool...Then Di says she’s going to bed, and if they have any issues or questions, to wake her up....Will complains about people talking behind his back yesterday...Karen comes outside...K assures Nak/W that everything is going to be fine. Not worried about Marv....Will goes to work out...K/Nak casual chit chatting (not game talk)....K plans to spend the day avoiding other people –“antisocial plan”...Nak planning day...K worries that if she is completely antisocial that people will wonder what she’s thinking...Nak: If people talk to me, I’ll talk to them...K says to Nak that CB looks like Frankenstein and needs a bolt in his neck.
Marv chats in the in BR with Dr/Di/twin...Talk about Jee (BB4) taking money for other HG’s to be on PBJ.
Back outside...Marv talks to K about problems of PBJ...K mentions several times about how hard it is for Dr/Di to be on PBJ for two weeks – mentally and physically...Then some music talk....Both K/M like the classical music they’ve been given (on the MP3 player), but wish they had other music as well.
Feeds switch to Drew/Di/Marv talking sleepily in Cloud Room...Talk about problems of PBJ diet...Marv says it makes him feel bad when he works out...Marv leaves....Dr/Di kidding around with each other...Some kissing....Dr: We’ll have to start sleeping in a different bed. It’s torture...He says any little thing Diane does excites him and he can’t control it...Di: What if I got HOH? Will you kick me out if you get HOH?...Dr: Let’s do a trial period (of sleeping alone), just for a few days...Dr: Kiss me..(long kiss –but no touching, Di is wrapped in a blanket.)..Feeds switch to BY for a few minutes then back to Dr/Di...They are trying to nap but keep talking..Nak comes into the room and they chit chat with her...Then Nak leaves saying: “You kids have fun.”...Di to Dr kiddingly: You are a big damn distraction! Dr: What? Di: For your personal sake I’m willing to do it (sleep alone) because I understand. Kinda...Dr: It’s hard to keep my hands off you....Kidding each other that they look better in the dark. Di: I fell in love with you in the HOH room and then came in here and said “What?”.
Feeds switch then return again after a few minutes....Dr: It takes so much less energy to talk to my twin than to other people...Di: That is so true!...More chit chatting, not game talk.
NOON
The Feeds switch to Adria/Nat in Wood Room getting dressed...Go to kitchen...Kid with Marvin about PBJ...Talk about how nice it is that Karen helps clean up....A tells Nat that her back has been hurting and needs to ask BB for pain meds...BB calls CB to DR....The twins tease CB that he has to get up—apparently he has been sleeping in the LR all morning.
When CB leaves, A/N talk about other HG’s....Say don’t want to be on team with people who throw food comps...then switch to talk about dance/fitness routines....Wish they had more time to do stretches in bed before they get up..They continue to chit chat casually with the other HG's as they come in and out of the kitchen.....Say the kitchen table will get smaller sometime (when there are fewer people), but it hasn’t changed yet....Wonder if the camera crew got to see some “action” with Dr/Di last night.
M/W/K are chatting outside....Karen confirms that the HG’s will vote live on Thursday’s show. (Ed. note: All morning there have been brief mentions by the HG’s of live voting, but it wasn’t clear until now whether this was all HG’s or just Adria in case of a tie.) K: “The preliminary stuff is today and tomorrow you just slap the vote down.”....Will says live voting on Thursday is hard on the people on the block because usually Wed. nights are relaxed because voting is over...Will guesses that means that no families will be brought out to greet the evictee because BB wouldn’t pay to bring both families out....HG talk between W/K...Will says “I never had a hateful bone in my body since I came in this House.”
Inside A/N also talk about live voting on Thurs....Adria says she’ll have to wait and see how she votes ..”I may be by myself. I may be with the group. I don’t know.”....BB calls a lockdown in the BY at about 1:20 and for the next 45 minutes or so until lockdown is over, the HG’s casually chat in the BY.
The lockdown ends a little before 2:00 pm, and Di walks into the kitchen where K/W are talking...They ask her how her relationship with Drew is going...Di: “In five years CBS will be paying for our marriage.”(Ed. note: If I didn’t know better, I’d think that Di had been watching Amber/Rob from Survivor on TV this morning talking about how ABC is paying for their wedding.)...Diane tries to go nap, but is called into the DR about 2:20...When she comes back, she complains, “I can’t believe they woke me up for four f’n questions.”.....A little later CB comes into the kitchen, and, among other things, says that he doesn’t think that he and April will have kids because they can’t afford them. Things could change, but CB loves Chasen enough to make up for it.
It’s a quiet afternoon overall...Will does laundry in the BY then lays out.....Marvin is lounging/napping in the BY, too...A goes off to take a nap.
Around 3:30 pm, CB/Dr have a serious strategy conversation in the BR—it looks like CB has been waiting to try to get Drew alone...(Ed. note: The order of this conversation may not be perfectly correct in some places, but the gist is there.)..Dr tells CB that Nak wanted CB to be on the block with Marvin...CB thanks Drew for telling him and says he will put Nak on the block. “America knows I’ve never said a bad thing about her and she is talking stuff about me.”.. CB wants to know what was going on with Diane yesterday....Drew tells CB that Di was really stressed because someone told her to watch out for Drew.....CB: Diane talked to Marvin quite a lot, but maybe it wasn’t him...CB assures Dr that when he talks about Dr and Di, it’s for the two of them, and nobody else....Dr: Are you still voting out Will?...CB: Yeah, but if you change your mind please tell me...CB: Di doesn’t know who you are voting out, right?...Dr: I told her I was thinking about Will. She found out that I knew Will was coming after me...CB: They wanted Marv to go against me. Was Di talking to you about that last night?
CB: Diane is playing you (Drew) too....Dr: She told me last night she is playing for herself....CB: I’m not afraid of A and N, they saved me from the block this week. If we can get Diane out, then get Nak out...CB: If you get HOH please put Nak up. Nak is a threat to me. I don't know if you can put Di up and I can understand that, but at least you can put another strong player up (Nak)...Dr: You have me and the twins on your side....CB: What we have to worry about is M going over to Di...If we can win HOH back to back (then we can control the game)... CB: Karen is losing HOH on purpose. If Nak wins HOH my a*s is up....Dr: We are lucky to still be here....CB: Savage and Jase can't ride anymore, but we can ride for them.
Meanwhile, A/Nat are also talking strategy...A thinks that Di could put her up if she gets HOH....Nat tells Adria that Diane is now playing for herself... Twins say Diane was originally only pretending to be sympathetic to the three (W,Nak,K) while advocating putting them up...But now Di is really getting sympathetic to W/Nak/K. No longer bringing the twins information...Drew was up late last night trying to get a fix on Di...A: If Cowboy gets HOH, we should be safe. He swore to me...The twins don’t think that K will go for HOH, but instead K wants to wait until one of the twins is out because she is afraid the other twin will go after her....Think M and Nak would put up the twins...Think Di will throw HOH contest.... Need to get out Nak & Marv, then K or Diane, then CB and Drew.
More A/N convo: A: I thought Will was a friend, knew me better than anyone. That’s why I was so shocked at how he treated me this week...A says this week got her to “wake up and smell the beans in Colombia"...A says that if she is put on the block and gets veto, maybe she won’t use it because then Nat would be put on block (not sure yet what she would do)...They discuss tomorrow’s vote...Nat: It's going to be either 3-3 or 4-2. ...Nat: If there's going to be a tie-breaker, you (A) need to make the decision that's best for you, not for me. You know where I stand...A: I'm trying to figure out what to say.
With that, it’s now about 5:00 pm BB time.
