All the hamsters gathered in the kitchen, talking about how good the evicted houseguests look. All agree that Nathan has gained a lot of weight back. Robert and Erika agree that the jury house is someplace tropical, due to the sight of wind coming in off the water. I think the beach should have been a big clue, but that's just me.
Now we get a little rehash of the HOH competition. I am pissed that Erika was so close to getting it and barely went over. However, I think Robert will make good on his Jun/Alison nomination. AT LEAST HE'D BETTER. |

Erika and Robert talk briefly about how close she was to winning. Robert said that he would have been happy for her had she won. Uh huh. Robert is happy because he's still in it this week, and he can compete next week for HOH as well. The Cream Dream ... wait, the Dream Cream ... no, the DREAM TEAM ... lives on!
Jun mocks Jee saying that his "true grand prize is at home." Jun and Robert are talking in the LR, now joined by Erika and Alison. Now talk turns to Erika missing the question about which competition was hardest for Justin. She says she said the steel cage match because Justin kept saying how hard it was that he couldn't compete in that one (due to being HOH). Robert says thank god he didn't think about the question on that level. Essentially, Erika outsmarted herself. Crap, four stupid hours she went over. Dammit. Robert sez that Justin looks "happy as hell" in sequestration. Jun: "I'm sorry, Dana looks like a man. Her shoulders ..." Now all of the mock Dana's gravelly voice. More rehash of the HOH questions. |

Okay. Even tho I am on the West Coast and didn't get to see the show .. I'll go ahead and start the recappage.
Yes, Robert won HOH .. yes, I know I said I was rooting for that - solely to get Alison out. However, I neglected to take into account the Robert Gloatage Factor. The RGF is out of control. That, and the repeated "Justin/Jee is gonna be so happy when he finds out I won HOH" babbling will soon wear thin. Jun and Alison look devastated that Robert won. Erica, naturally, looks happy. Robert starts to talk strategy with Erica, and then says they will have lots of time for that later. I think one of them was asking who the other one wanted out. I expect that Alison will campaign hard to stay in this week. I anticipate that she will leave no opportunity to blast Jun and Erica pass her by. The bile is already beginning to rise in my throat. They start to blast Dana's appearance in the video. Jun says Dana looked like a man in the video. Erica says "I'm sorry, is this anything new?" .. funny. |

All the hamsters agree that Dana hasn't gotten over a damn thing that happened in the house. I still want to stab icepicks in my eardrums from having to listen to how Justin gets his cardio. Just ... no.
Rehash is a dish best served cold. Erika fakes mooning over Nathan because he said she was the sexiest person in the house. Digression alert: I keep my refrigerator cold because I like my milk ice cold, but the downside to this is that my scallions froze. As did my babana pudding. Here are the topics the assembled HGs will be talking about while the lockdown is still in effect: 1. How good the evicted HGs look 2. HOH questions 3. Dana is a man/mantroll/grudge-holding freak 4. How evicted HGs will vote Repeat until dead. |

The HG's are on lockdown inside. They must be setting up in the backyard for the pinata's. The HG's complain that they don't have food right now, after giving "them a kick ass live show". Jun makes herself some sort of sandwich and offers half to Alison who declines the offer and wants cheese, or something. boring-boring-boring.
Robert is still in the Gloat-Zone. Erica is still singing about Nathan thinking she's sexy. Gloat all you want Robert - JUST GET RID OF ALISON! They are talking about past HOH competitions. Justin was lucky because his winning question was something that only Justin would have known. Alison says she was lucky, too. Robert is saying he has no control over who leaves because only one person will vote this week. He realizes that if he nominates Ali/Jun, and one of them wins Veto, that Erica will go up and the veto winner will be the voting person. Naturally, he doesn't use names - but I finally saw the wheels turning in his skull. Real freezes .. so I'll post. |

Rob, Erica and Ali speculate as to where their former housemates have been sequestered. They talk about how it's obviously somewhere hot and balmy.
Erica/Rob decide they must be in Mexico (Cancun, says Robert) .. and .. the brain trust that is Alison asks if Mexico is hot. Alison. There are no words. Erica marvels that Jack answered that Nathan was the most attractive person in the house. Erica can't believe that Jack said this - he should have picked a woman. Well .. how much do you wanna bet that Jack was thinking of the most attractive person in HIS house? And .. yep .. that would be Nathan. |

Ali and Erika discuss how buff Dana looked. Ali says Dana's getting ready to deck her when she gets out... Haha. Now that's a cage match I would like to see!
Erika says she regrets getting the guess of hours so close and just missing. She also says she's going to smack Jack for the Nathan question. Still kicking herself about missing the crucial answers. Saying that the Exes entered the house about 6 hours after them, and she was trying to count that in. It amazes me she was as close as she was in such a short time to figure it out. But she really should have left herself a good margin. Because Snotbert has never shown himself to be good at those guesses, she had a fair margin of safety. They whisper something I can't hear, then think they hear a door opening in the HOH room. Hahaha!! Erika looks at the camera and goes "4 hours!!!!" She then proceeds to question camera-guy about how far she was off. hehe. He tells her by shaking the camera side to side for "no" and up and down for "Yes". She keeps guessing and finally he gives a slight yes for 7 hours. (But I thought Julie said 1434...). Camera-guy seemed kind of unsure though. His "yes" was pretty tentative... Some more ultra-stealth whispering, something about Jun. BB keeps turning up the mike gain for us, and they're discussing who Snotbert is going to put up. Ali, doesn't think her and Jun. Ali is sure that if Snotbert gets HOH again he will take Erika to the finals. Quite certain of this. All of a sudden they talk loud and blow the speakers out. Now whispering again and BB once again turns up the gain. Any more and I'll be able to hear their hearts beating. Discussing more who will take who to the final two. Erika thinks Jun would take Ali before her, Ali doesn't think so. More suddenly loud talk and yells from Ali. BB tries unsuccessfully to compensate in time! Ow! Hehe.. Erika calls themselves the "Fallen Angels". Erika insists that Snotbert is no longer in the DR. I think she's just having a hangover from last week.. Gotta get some sleep now. Night all... |

Alison is putting on the full court press with Erica. Ali tells Erica that Jun overheard a conversation between Rob and Erica earlier in the day where Rob was working a deal with Erica. Erica says that Robert didn't say whatever it was that Ali claims Jun overheard. I can't clearly hear them when they whisper, so I don't know what was overheard.
Erica is talking to the camera and asking them to tell her what the time was so she can suffer with how off she was. She asks if it was 1434, and the camera swings side to side. 1436? side-to-side. 1439? side-to-side. 1433? up and down. DAMMIT. She was off by 7-hours. Now E/A go back to talking shit about Jun. Erica tells Ali she doesn't think Rob will put her up. That leaves Ali and Jun. Erica says she would take Ali. Ali said she would take Erica, too. Yeah-yeah-yeah..stroke-stroke-stroke. Now Alison calls Julie Chen a bitch for reminding them during the competition that Alison was in last place. I think Alison and Robert and long-lost twins. ZzzzzzzZZZZZzz..posting. |

Had to add one little bit - Erika is playing to the camera-guy, saying 'are you still attracted to me, now that you've seen me poop?" HAHAHA!! The girls are getting looped before the food competition. Should make for an interesting episode...

Erica is cracking me up. She is looking right into one of the cameras and flirting with the camera.
"Hi" "Do you wanna buy me a drink?" Then .. oh boy .. "Are you still attracted to me, even though you've watched me go poop?" Oh My GAWD! "I try to be sexy when I'm doing it" OH.MY.FREAKIN'.GAWD! |

Erika and Ali are concerned, because Robert has been in the DR for a long, long time. Erika swears he isn't in there anymore. Ali says Erika is full of shit. Jun comes plodding out from somewhere in a pink warmup suit. Erika stares up into F1 and F4, making faces. Ali says she is worried for Erika's mental health.
Erika says from now on, she isn't going to talk to the girls, she is just going to talk to the camera. Now the three girls resume to ragging on sequesterland. THey want to go there! Jun starts drinking. They decide they are going to be the drunken angels. Ali is being really, really loud. So loud, that I cannot understand her. Ali am a loud drunk, and I don't even think she's had that much to drink. |

Robert finally comes out of the DR and heads straight into the HOH. The girls follow him in and start to look at all his goodies. He has a note from someone - his mom, maybe? The note makes him cry, naturally. All the girls are fawning over him and putting his drinks in the fridge, folding his shirts up and putting them away, and fussing over his basket. He got new tennis shoes for some reason. He also got a little "honey bear", which Erica says "I had the honey bear for awhile". Apparently, he gave it to his daughter to keep and he doesn't give it to his bitches - ooops, I mean women - anymore. Rob also got some hair products, he can't figure out why.
The love-fest continues. Buuuuuuurrrrrrrpppppppppppppppp |

Robert returns. They open up the HOH room for Robert. The girls ooh and ahhh appropriately. Robert has a letter from his daughter. Ali is so damn loud. Robert proclaims today the best day ever. Robert has Gatorade. Robert also has a brand new pair of shoes. Perfuctory hugs and wishes of congrats from the loser girls.
Robert is astounded that his note answered all the questions he had been asking himself in the house everyday. Erika says "well, she knows how you feel...." Robert got new Fraternity letters. Ali starts loud drunk talking about how she thought he was gone. Robert says he heard her yelling "Give Us a Sign!!!" when he was in the DR. Ali laughs loud. Rehash of how the evicted hamsters looked on TV. They agree that Justin looks like he's gained weight. Ali drunktalks "yeah! Like on TV you gain 10 pounds!!" Poor Jun. It's obvious now that 5 cameras are trained on her at all times. |

Production Asses are setting up the backyard for the food competition. I spy the lovely pinatas, and a large hamper-type basket on a table, one with each hamster's hame on it. I see Robert's Crap-ass star, Ali's Indian and Erika's dog. Hanging up is Jun's Diva star (as a true Diva, I take offense to her using the title in vain) looking like it is ready to get the shit beat out of it. Sadly, the Carmensaurus is nowhere to be seen. Either the sound is wonky outside, or it sounds like the HT is a bubblin'. I spy a couple of sticks that could be used to beat the hamster of your choice. Ok, ok. Beat the *pinata* that belongs to the hamster of your choice.
It looks all set up. I wish they'd move this along. |

In this outdoor Pinata set, there also appears to be two columns and an arch that leads to the competition. I don't get the purpose for this. I am sure 2 minutes after I log off for the night, it will all be made clear.
There also appear to be three small tables with something on each. I can't tell what it is, so this recap really isn't worth shit. Back inside, the hamsters evidently don't know shit about the competition yet. Chit chat is drying up as we speak and the girls have nothing to say to each other. Jun worries that she'll have to wear a fucking sombrero for the competition. Here comes Robert! With bags. They have 5 minutes to get changed and meet Robert. He tells the girls to look gorgeous. Ali drunk yells "YOURS IS CUTE". Robert keeps saying "you're going to love it. It's really funny." My, how the petulant have changed in the past 24 hours. This is the same Robert who last night said "I'm not doing it. Leave mine white." Erika yells she has the outfit that screams "would you like salsa and guacamole with that meal"? Jun has a dark green top, and aq white skirt with a big red stripe. I guess it might be Spanish. If you squinted. And pretended alot. And were drunk. Robert has a banana chair yellow shirt on. Ali drunksings "It's a Small World Afterall" REALLY REALLY FUCKING LOUD and no FOH. What the hell? These girls are laughing their asses off. Shit. Thanks Skippy. He has saved me and given me 4 feeds of HOH. Now...I have FOH. Skipster. I've waited this long. I deserve the payoff. Posting and rebooting Real while FOH twinkles. |

Ok Ii've had some wine but this is the first freakin time I've logged on to see the hammies all week and they've not been napping, so i'm gonna recap (typos and all).
Rob is reading the rules and rereading since he flubbed them. They ahve to whak their own pinatas. Jun's (NY star) is hanging up so she goes first. They ahve to collect pesos to earn various levels fo meals for the week. 500 or less = PBJ, something or other = regular stuff, some more = one meal from a mex chain restaurant, even more = they get food from someplace each night and they each get to choose what they want. I dunno but they were excited. If they lose it starts tonight. If they win big they get their first margaritas in well, lots of dang hours. Mmmm mmargaritas. usually my drink of choice but tonight I chose whine. hee wine. Dad gum foth. I hope Tuna is still here since I'm not making any sense. |

Now we are back and Jun is blindfolded with a tropical print bandana thingy.
She's whacking the crap outta her pinata without much success. Yelling "I hate you Jee" etc... Allison is apparently luaghing so hard she's "peeing her pants" Been there seen that. no thanks. Jun has success a bit and we go foth. BTW Junie had on a black long sleeve off the shoulder shirt that Erika thought was cute and a ruffly skirt that is green on top white in the middle and red on bottom. She is now scrambling on the floor looking for stuff (without her blindfold). She got 650 pesos. Clean up clean up everybody everywheere clean up clean up everybody do your share. Gold coins are worth NOTHING! Nothing! Jun got all the pesos - nope not all. Jun wants a now & later. Yay no PBJ They want the 4star restaurant. duh. *Rolling my eyes* cauz Ali didn't know what the peso was. Ali thinks they can keep the extra pesos and trade them in for money. Won't get rich that way girlie. Erika is up next as they raise the doggie up to the pinata rack of whackitude. |

Hit it Erika hit your doggie.
Erika is wearing a blue skirt with white lace accenting it in rows. I think her top is matchy matchy but we go Foth before I can look again. I guess she broke it open and is now going to dive for dinero. Nope, now she's whacking the head of Joey (is that her current boyfriend's name ? cause if so, then that is kinda weird) And now she looks for money. I don't get this. They break open all the pinata stuff onto the ground and then get to take off their blindfold to look for money and gather it all up. Then count it. Won't their final count be whatever BB sticks in the pinatas? Senorita Erika got 200 pesos. So we are up to like 800 right. Math + wine = stupid (and I'm a freaking mechanical engineer - An Aggie though so say what you will) Erka missed like 100 pesos that were stuck way up in the head. Sweepy sweepy clean clean clean. Erika is going to keep Joey's head since it's still intact. I feel like a mean inkyMom since I threw out InkBoy's superman birthday pinata yesterday. I don't think he's noticed yet. Ali's up with her indian ready for scalping. |

Ali fashion report. Red skirt with white lace in rows. Top is white with embroidery.
Ali hit the shit out of her pinata. Totally knocked it down in like 5 shots. Now she picks it up with one hand and hits it with the stick with the other. Show me the money Ali. Oh BB says stop. They are timed to get the money. Lets see what she got. 50, 100, another 50, another 100, another 100, another 100, 50, 50, 50, 50, 100, another 100, 20, another 20, another 20, and another 100. Apparently alcohol + Ali = no math either. Dude, where are they at, dude. Foth while they break out the calculator. Back and cleaning and reading the menus. Mmmm mexican. I live in Houston so we eat tex-mex at least 2 or 3 times per week. Honestly you cannot get any good chips even as far up as Dallas. Y'all just don't know. You might *think* your chips are good. Mmm chips, mmmm green sauce. Robby is up and doesn't take long to open his crappy ass pinata star. I still don't get it. He hits it then Ali digs inside to get it all out. He gets like 10 secs to grab all the money and count. This is so rigged so that they get the product placed mex food. and real has timed out so I don't have Booger's count. the drama. |

Jun starts. She is blindfolded. Erika says these are hard to break. Jun yells "I.Hate.You.Jee" while she beats on the pinata. Ali yells "almost done Jun! Almost there!" Crap. Jun starts in on her Herbal Essences Orgasmatron.
And now, you see, this is the problem with Pinatas. Like kids and animals, they never behave the way you think they should. They don't break the way you think they will, the contents don't spill out in neat piles. They are unreliable. So as Jun whacked her pinata blindfolded, the money dripped out one coin at a time. So, they had to change the rules as they went along to let them get enough crap out of the pinatas so they could collect it. Jun now has 10 seconds to pick up the money. Jun doesn't know which things are pesos. Erika yells "the orange shit! The orange ones." Jun has earned 650 pesos. The hamsters have to clean up all the crap in between every pinata. Robert also says the money amounts BB provided for each meal level is cumulative among the 4 hamsters. So obviously, the luxury dinners aren't going to be tough to win. Erika's turn. Big dog. Whomp! Whomp! Whomp! Whomp! I think the dog is easier. Momentary pause while she removes her blindfold and then....... Oops. nope. She is still whomping on the dog. The head is still hanging. Ali yells "there is nothing in the head" BB sends us FOH again while they figure out what to do. Erika gathers her money, but has next to nothing. She is a bit disappointed, but the hamsters say "that's ok..." Erika has a total of 170 pesos. The other HG pretend YAAAAY! in between each bill. At the end Erika says "what the hell was up with that? Ahhh. Hamsters figure out (too late) that the bills were stuffed up inside the pinata. Told ya. Nature of the papier mache beast. TunaNote -- This is an extremely lameass competition that was NOT well thought-out. So far the hamsters are sitting at 820 pesos. Ali's turn. yeah yeah. Donny I love you mwah mwah. Robert coaches Ali. "Seriously Ali..his chest, his butt and his head." First whomp you hear Robert say "damn!" WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP. They ask BB if she can pick up her pinata and empty it (the bulk of it fell to the ground). Blindfold off time. She is grabbing pesos. Erika keeps yelling "good girl" "Good girl". Damn, this is annoying. Ali counts her money. The total is 1060 for Ali (according to my calculations which are tempered by dontcaretoomuch-itis). They tell Robert he needs 800. Someone's deciphering is off. Robert's turn. Ali says "beat the piss out of your happy little star". He WHOMPS it off of its perch pretty quickly. They tell him to empty it and be sure to get it out of all the little arms. Ali yells go go go go go!! Final count. Robert has 940. I think. Jun yells "I think we got it!" Jun grabs all the money and counts it up en masse. I get FOH music. So, they got their luxury meals. I can't take Ali anymore. Please shut her pie-hole with a Burrito Gordita. Oh, and note to BB staff? Better tie down the sheets tonight. They're gonna be hovering this week. I'm off. I hope recapping is better for the West Coast. |
