Hmmm. We're getting weird camera stuff tonight. A lot of focusing on empty rooms but you can hear the dialogue. Right now, Feed 4 is on the half moon outside.

In the 4077 we have J, L, and D in 4077 negotiating the exercise deal. Amy wants some slack on the cardio since she's new but Lisa is adamant "all or nothing." Jason talking about how well he did on the donut bet but he wants to think about the exercise bet.

Feed 2 shows M in the HOH flipping through his pictures.

Danielle tells some long story about her husband buying her pearls. The only noteworthy thing about the story is when she mentions her husband was late picking up the the pearl necklace and when her husband came home and tried to talk to her, she was non-responsive and "the wall was up." She starts to explain the wall and Jason says "Oh, we guys know the wall." Everyone laughs and Amy hugs Jason and says she can't believe some girl gave Jason the wall.

Now we're going to discuss the favorite gifts we got from our male significant other. Amy's story includes a guy who buys her a nice gift but still manages to fuck it up. This causes Jason to ask Amy if she's ever been in a relationship for a long period of time. Amy says her longest relationship was 10 months. Jason asks "and in all that time they never treated you well." Amy says "no, not really." Jason tells her she's been dating fools. He hopes that she's changed while in the house and is now able to stick up for herself. Amy thinks she has.

Jason is STFC or, because it's Jason he's shuffling the dang cards (STDC).

Roddy enters the room fresh from the shower. Jason's pissy mood has apparently come from a headache because Amy has just brought Jason aspirin. Jason is still agahst at how horrible Amy has allowed men to treat her.

Everyone is talking over each other so it's hard to hear what they're saying but the doldrums from earlier have apparently lifted because the talk is animated and interspersed with laughter.

Meanwhile, the moon has moved to Feed 2. They are using different colored gels on the moon shot because one shot has an orange gel and the next shot had a blue gel and now we're getting black and white.

They are back to talking movies. Jason likes sappy movies. I have to say that I had dinner at a friends house and at one point the talk turned to movies. I lasted two minutes and then had to ask them to change the subject because I have been listening to people talk about movies all week. I then had to explain all this and so now my friends think I'm a freak. Which, yeah, I guess I kind of am, but I was trying to keep it a secret.

Now we're back to talking about the audition process and their stay in the hotel. Marcellus apparently made them leave everything outside his door, his foods, his towels, everything. He didn't let anyone in, not even housekeeping since he cleaned his room himself. Amy's cab driver asked her all kinds of questions and she thought the guy was a CBS spy so she made up a whole huge lie. Jason got a car service.

Amy has bad eyesight. Jason claims that reading in the dark does not cause bad eyesight, that it's a myth. He then does a horrible job of explaining why. Jason's brother used to sit really close to the television and now he wears glasses. Roddy doesn't know if sitting close to the television set really does ruin your eyesight because maybe people sitting close to the television set might already have bad eyes and can't see the television set that well. Okay, now they're trying to figure out what there is in carrots that helps your eye sight. I always thought it was Vitamin A.

The audio has now gone out.

The guys on the mooncam are cracking me up. They just started moving the camera back and forth really quickly so the moon would be in the shot and then it wouldn't. In the shot, out of the shot. Now, they're moving the camera really, really slowly so the moon is inching into frame.

Audio is still out so I'll post.

Lisa is explaining Kings in the Corner to Roddy. Other people have left the Tiki Room and I don't know why. Roddy is really trying to single Lisa out, isn't he? Unfortunately, now that Roddy and Lisa are alone, we are subjected to Lisa's baby talk whisper which I hate more than I hate Roddy, which is a whole helluva lot. C'mon, Marcellus, Dani and Jason are off somewhere, why are we not focused on them? They could be strategizing. Instead we have two shots of empty beds. I miss the moon cam.

Now it's just Roddy alone. Oh, wait, we're all moving into the kitchen area. Looks like Roddy has managed to seduce Lisa into a game of chess after all. Aarrgghh. Another night of Roddy and his heavy-handed manipulation of Lisa. Another night of Lisa's baby talk whisper. How much is a person expected to take.

Amy is in HOH listening to her Sheryl Crow CD. Marcellus is in the bathroom, prepping for bed. No word on Dani. I will never understand the use of audio on the Quad feeds. They have Roddy and Lisa sitting in the living room, playing chess, talking, yet the audio is Marcellus in the bathroom. I have giving up the quad feeds because the cameramen are being really goofy tonight with their zooming in and zooming out. I'll hang out with Marcellus until he goes into HOH to see if he and Amy strategize. Extreme close up on the soap dispenser. Now on Amy's feed we get an extreme close-up of the CD's liner notes, slow pull back, quick zoomto Amy's face. Can I just say this girl has on way too much make-up? She has great skin she doesn't need to wear that much make-up. Marcellus is using some moisturizer under his eyes to combat the inevitable aging process.

Wide shot of Amy, zoom in close, pull back to medium shot, zoom in close, pull out. Poor Eunice, so bored, nothing to do now that Gerry's gone.

Marcellus leaves the bathroom, sees Roddy and Lisa playing chess and says that Gerry hid one of the pieces of the chess set as a good-bye joke.

Marcellus in the HOH. Amy complains again that she hurt herself. Amy mentions that the camera was "shaking at her" She thought it meant that they were trying to get her attention and it scared her. There's apparently not much on this planet that doesn't scare Amy.

Now we've got Amy in the pore cam. She brushes her teeth. Gives them a good scrubbing. Were these people not allowed to bring in electric toothbrushes? I love my Braun electric toothbrush. I don't know if I could go three months without it.

Marcellus is asleep in the HOH room or beginning to go to sleep. Amy makes her way slowly to the living room. She grabs a bag of M&Ms (after just brushing her teeth) and heads back to the HOH. She hugs Marcellus. Sometimes the two of them are a bit adorable. Marcellus reads his letter from home while Amy reads something else. Camera zooms in really close on Marcellus' letter so we can read it. Something in the letter makes Marcellus laugh.

Okay, I give up. These two are not talking. I'm going to switch over to Lisa/Roddy and see what they're up to.

I just realized I live about 20 minutes away from where the hamsters are staying (okay, okay, it's 20 minutes in good traffic, which in Los Angeles is generally on a Sunday morning at 6:00 a.m. every first Thursday in the month of October, but I digress). Therefore, if you want to know the Hamster Time look at when I posted this.

Amy and Marcellus still in HOH with Amy looking at Marcellus' pictures and Marcellus listening to music, doing a little HOH bed dancing.

Back to the Roddy/Lisa show. Roddy is philosophizing about people pissing away their potential. When he sees people who don't believe in themselves, he does everything he can to help them see how special they are. Lisa should think about the "themes he's been talking about in the house." He says that it bothers him, all the self-loathing he sees in the house. He says he doesn't hear people talking about how much they love their parents. Lisa says she does. Roddy says that he also loves his parents and that may be why he's "not so much of an asshole." When he's in a relationship, he wants the girl to love herself more than she loves him. Roddy thinks that when you have money, you don't go looking for other people who have money. In the same way, if you have a good sense of self, you don't go searching for someone to attach yourself to. This just in: Roddy is not looking for another Tumor. Apparently, the surgical detachment of the last one was just too painful.

He brings up Gerry's desire to both act and teach. Roddy thought he could do both. Maybe not teach a class but get his message out there. When it was brought up, everyone said no, you have to do one or the other. Roddy didn't necessarily think that, he thinks you could marry how you feel with what you want to do. Lisa gets confused because she doesn't understand the use of the word "marry"in this context. Roddy explains. Roddy thinks television and movies are the greatest classrooms in the world. He thinks that being a writer allows him to use his screenplays as the biggest classroom in the world. He would love to be a college professor (and millions of high school students breathe a sigh of relief that he gave that little dream up). However, they don't pay college professors enough. So, hopefully his writings will teach people. He talks about how people go to funerals and make promises to not miss a moment of life. He wishes people would do that when times are good.

Amy and Marcellus walk through and interrupt the lecture. After they leave, Roddy says "boy, can I get long winded." Lisa says that she enjoys it. When Roddy talks, he takes her away with him. Roddy is all aflutter from the compliment. Lisa thinks it nice to know that guys can talk and carry on great conversations.

Oh, god, we're back to playing chess. I'll go check on Amy and Marcellus.

Lisa checks Roddy.

Roddy moves. Lisa checks him again.

Lisa moves. Roddy checks Lisa.

Roddy moves. Lisa moves. Looks like Roddy has just checkmated Lisa.

Amy says sometimes you have to let people win to make up for their lack of athletic ability.

Lisa now heads off to bed and we're going to be left with the Roddy/Amy show. I wonder if Roddy will talk to Amy about how no one is bringing up the fact that she has a 40% chance of winning even though she'd been voted off and how it's just strange.

Roddy teases Amy about wishing her dog happy birthday. He asks her "What did Bucky do when you said 'happy birthday'?" Amy says he barked. Roddy calls her strange.

Amy waxes poetic 'bout Bucky. He's just precious. She tells the story of how she got Bucky. It's a reallllly long story. Highlights go somethin' like this: Amy wants a silky. Searches the internet for a breeder near her. Finds a number for a silky breeder. Goes to the breeder so they can meet the mother of Bucky and the breeder can meet Amy. Amy put Bucky in her lap and Bucky fell asleep in her lap. What I just did here -- it took Amy 15 minutes to tell Roddy.

Where does Amy live? She pays $800 a month for a two bedroom apartment. I guess the apartment is really big. She gives the dimensions but it means nothing to me. She doesn't want to move to Los Angeles because you can get a home for $45,000 in Mississippi, in L.A., it would cost you $300,000. My answer to that is "yeah, but you have to live in Mississippi."

They continue to talk about homes in their home towns. They talk about how a million dollars you would get this amazing house. Well, I have a friend who lives in Hancock Park (Nicolas Cage is a neighbor, just to give you an idea of the neighborhood) in Los Angeles who paid $900,000 for her house and she's got an amazing house so you can find good homes here for a decent price, I guess.

Roddy thinks that people get married later in New York and Los Angeles because you have to be 30 before you have any money in the bank. Amy agrees that people get married earlier in Memphis because five years after people graduate from college, they have a house.

Roddy has plans, after his next screenplay, to take the money and find a small city to live in because renting there would be so cheap and his money would go much further. Amy brings up New Orleans and Roddy asks if its dangerous. Amy says no, that it's really easy to tell which areas are shady and you just stay out of them. I guess the murder rate is pretty high but Amy says it's mainly the drug dealers and prostitutes, so all you regular citizens of New Orleans rest easy, no one's coming after you. Amy likes the atmosphere of New Orleans. Everyone is buried above ground in New Orleans because NO is below sea level so they can't dig graves there.

Roddy wants to live three months in a southern town because he knows nothing of the south. Amy gives him suggestions in Mississippi but she thinks New Orleans is a better choice. Amy doesn't think New York or Los Angeles have as much character as Memphis or New Orleans.

Amy knows that Rhett and Scarlett went on their honeymoon to New Orleans. Memphis lost its charter in the 1880s because most of the people died of yellow fever. See, Amy's got some factoids to share. Roddy couldn't look more bored.

Roddy wants to go someplace that has a bit of a city feel as well as a southern feel. He needs a certain edginess because a Northern person doesn't always fit in a Southern town. He needs a place where people wouldn't give a shit that he was from New Jersey. Apparently, New Orleans is the place Roddy needs to be, according to Amy.

Amy's got plans to buy a condo in The Quarter with someone named Angel.

For Christmas, Amy is going to FedEx people barbeque. Roddy says "that's the old Amy." Roddy is planning on moving back to New Jersey after the show (yeah, get out of my city, Roddy). Roddy's apartment doesn't contain much furniture. It's moving boxes and crap from Pier One that they couldn't sell. Roddy hasn't had more than three people in his apartment because of how bad it looks. He could pack in three hours. Pack his clothes, ship his computer, leave his car unlocked in a bad part of town and hop on a plane.

Now he's talking about driving cross-country and tells Amy that Memphis better be open when he gets there. Roddy just want to drive cross-country alone with no one even noticing him. Amy thinks he's going to be disappointed because people will recognize them. Amy and Roddy are worried about how they're being portrayed on television. Amy is glad that the game playing is more interesting than the human interest. Roddy says the game playing is over for now and he doesn't know how anyone can start game playing because everyone would know it. Hmmm. He might want to try talking to Jason and Dani.

Roddy is happy that Julie Chen liked his joke and he hopes that Susan Lucci has a good sense of humor. Amy says in the DR room that they said that it seems that every single time she says something, someone will jump down her throat. She said the only person who really got her sense of humor was Josh. Roddy can't believe she didn't include him because he's told her a million times that he loves her sense of humor. Amy admits that she doesn't really think what she says through, that she doesn't think of the consequences. Roddy says that in the real world, his humor is dark and awful but he realizes that what might be funny for a minute is on the internet forever. He is like Kyle's older brother, isn't he? Always worried about his image.

Amy says that she can dish it out but if someone says something back to her, she'll think about it, think about it, and overanalyze things and she gets pissed. Roddy talks about how he plays Dad with her, correcting her when she interrupts.

Roddy asks how she felt about Gerry leaving. Amy said she told the DR that she felt a little sad but that this week was not a big deal because she didn't feel like she was in danger. She felt that the week Josh and Tonya were up was a bigger week because Tonya was so mean to her. Amy says she's only voted once. She's either been nominated or HOH. For the record, Amy voted to evict Tonya.

Amy's worst week was when she was nominated. Amy thinks that what they show, Chiara leaving was not as good as if they showed her facial expressions as Chiara was leaving. She tells Roddy that she pulled out every possible favor to get Chiara out and she still didn't know what was going to happen. It was as emotional as Julie telling her that Gerry was staying. She said she was standing in the middle of the room saying "Thank you, God. Thank you, God." Way to tell Roddy that everyone wanted him out, Amy. This is what Marcellus is talking about.

Roddy said he told the DR that he thought it was really mean what they did to Gerry (announcing Amy as the evictee). He said that Gerry's expression indicated that he thought he had done it. The guy in the DR room said "well, it was just for one moment." Roddy said sometimes a moment is a big deal. I have to agree with him. He asks Amy what she thought while this was going on and Amy acknowledges that she did think for a moment that people fucked her over. It really was a bit mean-spirited. I'm not sure why they did it.

Roddy said after he voted, he left the DR room and then he walked back in and said "can I ask you guys a question? I voted to evict Gerry, right?" He said they laughed but he was serious, he wasn't sure what he said.

Roddy starts riding Amy for believing people would have voted her out. He says she's got to start paying attention. Amy admits she has trust issues.

Roddy says that if you say 10 nice things and one shitty thing, people will pay attention to the shitty thing. He tells Amy to pay attention to the nice things.

I'm going to post now because this is long.

Hamster Time: 4:17 A.M.

Roddy asks Amy if she would stay in the house for a year for a million dollars. Amy doesn't think so because she has responsibilities. She talks about how her pagent mentor died while she was on the show. She found out when she was evicted that the woman died. It was right around the time she was doing the pagent on the show. Her parents told her the woman did know Amy was on television.

Amy doesn't think people with children would do it. She says you would also miss Christmas.

Amy is glad that they shut down HRD because now that it's shut down no can be in the HRD plotting. She hopes shutting down the HRD will cut down on the paranoia. Roddy says there's been no game talk for ten days. He doesn't think the producers appreciate that there is no game playing. I can't speak for the producers, I know I don't appreciate it. Roddy thinks that this season was heavily influenced by last year. That they had to keep the "less popular girls around". WTF? Roddy says it kept people from being themselves. They waited a few days to show who they were. Amy says Marcellus was himself from the beginning. Roddy disagrees.

Roddy talking about before the clock you would stay up late at night and just say "where is dawn?" I stay up with these people and say "when are you going to bed!"

Back to a year for a million. Amy says no. Roddy says no. Amy says a million is not that much after taxes. Roddy says it would have to be a number somewhat satisfying so that when you wake up in the morning you felt like you were $12,500 richer. They bitch about the low amount of the stipend. Amy says she offered to give her stipend back in her little DR meltdown when she was trying to talk to them about what they should air of her on the show.

Amy brings up her paranoia of the cast party. AGAIN. Okay, this is my cue to leave. These people are really talking about nothing and I can't listen to Amy recite her reasons for not wanting to deal with Tonya. In case you missed the 350,000 other times she's talked about this, Amy is non-confrontational. Doesn't like confrontation. Nope, she doesn't. So, Tonya if you're reading this. Leave Amy alone. She doesn't need you confronting her. Because she's non-confrontational. Confrontation is not a friend of Amy's. She admits that she's said horrid things about people but she still doesn't want people screaming in her face. Even if they do scream in her face, she won't say anything. Because she's non-confrontational.

And I am out of here.
