But since this is the summer of secrets, we can't be sure that everyone won't be on the jury. Julie seemed to be hinting that we will see everyone again when she said goodbye to each of them.

Wow! That ended up being a great cover story for James and Sarah for a while, and it was the truth!! No wonder James ended up in the house with someone he has only been dating for about four months, and who says she can't lie!

I think it would be great if that WAS the clue. However, I am not sure BB is that imaginative. I've been thinking that the clue is that they need to stand by the chess board and look down, so that they can see that the table looks like the combo lock on the safe, and that there are colors in the room, or items, that point to certain number areas of the combo. It would be great if they actually did use the light, though!!

I've noticed also that there are two big square patches of color--one in the kitchen area and one in the middle of the seating area in the living room. They really stand out when we are looking at the feeds. I've been trying to figure out how these patches relate to the table. In other words, if the patches point to areas of the table that correspond to numbers on the safe? There has to be a reason why we are constantly seeing an overhead view of the table (the safe combo) and the living room seating area, though, and Kaysar seems to be looking down from the chess area and from the spycam a lot, as if he is trying to figure it out. I personally think the knight is a clue to stand at the chess area and look down, and then you will get a clue.

"All the hamsters lay snug in their beds, While visions of veto comps danced in their heads...." (Ok, I'm just being silly--not enough sleep) :wink: They seem to all be asleep now. F3 has a closeup of Kaysar right now, and he is lying asleep on his back, clutching a striped, shiny, small pillow on top of his chest. F4 is on Maggie, and our view is partially obstructed by things she has on the table next to her. The other views are shots of other hamsters sleeping. Have a great night! -Catnip

I thought that was James' story to Kaysar and the others to try to prove that he didn't have a pair? I thought he was trying to explain that while he was supposed to come in with another person, that didn't work out. He told Sarah to lie and tell Kaysar and the others that she was only called in to be on BB five days before they were to leave (to try to show that she must be a person without a pair, too). He said they must have picked her because she matched his description of a perfect woman, so they had a bunch of pairs and a possible future pair with the two of them. Of course, now Kaysar and his group know the truth.

F3 and F4 HOH bathroom. Kaysar is getting ready for a shower, and BB doesn't move from this view. He gets in the shower in his underwear, and I think pulled them off in there. I switched feeds. I did notice that we had a view of the HOH bathroom that I hadn't seen before. Just to the left of the sink, there are two white starfish on the wall, and there are two square carpet mats on the floor (pairs theme). F4 is now in one of the bedrooms, with someone in bed and it is dark, so I can't tell which hamster it is. They do appear to be asleep, because I don't hear them. I'll keep an ear on them for a while in case anything else happens, but it looks like they are bedding down for the night. -Catnip

On F4, 12:22 BB time, we have Kaysar in the HOH room alone. He is sitting in the chair, watching the spycam. We had a brief view of the spycam as he was looking at the big, round table in the kitchen area. He got a closeup of that, and the camera stayed on the spycam view of the table until he switched it. Now, he is looking at it AGAIN. (Transcriptionist's note: There MUST be something about that table, or the sections, or the shape...) The camera is following Kaysar as he leaves the HOH room, and appears to be searching for a clue. He is looking down from the chess area to the floor below (I think that is the table?). He is now walking very fast, and the camera is focused on him. He has now grabbed Sarah (I don't know where she was--it was so fast) and brought her into the HOH room, and is showing her the spycam screen. They are whispering, and I can't hear them, although I heard her say "Eric." Suddenly, BB says "Hey, guys, can you put your mikes on?" (BB obviously didn't want to tip anyone off as to the identity of the people who were talking together). Kaysar is naming the people who never compete in challenges. He says Beau never competes. Kaysar: We don't need any more allies. Do you understand what I am saying? I'm actually trying to take out the garbage. We don't need Ivette, we don't need Eric. We don't need Beau. There is a reason why they are in that room. I. don't. want. them. Now, we have to deal with not getting James out. Now, you can go and act like a girlfriend with him. (laughter). Sarah: I just feel bad. Don't be angry with me, okay? Kaysar: I'm not, I don't get angry that easily. Just because you told one lie does not make you a liar. Kaysar tells her to play it cool. He says that she can still have an occasional convo, but to play it cool. He says that Maggie and Eric look awful, look like they haven't slept. (They have the advantage if they get sleep and play it cool, I guess that's what he is getting across). He starts to open the door and Sarah reminds him to check the camera first. He does, no one is there, and she leaves.

Janelle did kiss Michael's portrait, and Howie told her to stop. She said she loves it. F3 WC area Maggie and Eric take a moment to have a little convo. Maggie is talking about the veto comp, picking people. I heard the name Sarah mentioned. They were whispering (Maggie is a pro at whispering, but Eric can't). Eric says that it is the perfect setup and James is history. Maggie doesn't seem comforted, and Eric says that if he is way off base, for her to tell him, but he thinks he is on base with this. I heard someone coming--maybe Howie. They break the convo up. Now, Maggie is sitting alone at the chess board, with her cheek resting on one fist, looking down. She looks upset, thinking. F1 is the long view of the living room, looking down from the top. F2 is the long view of the dining table. (They've had these views on and off for days--seems like it could mean something?) F3 and F4 are different views of Maggie at the chess board. She sees Ivette and whispers to her, asking her if she wants to come up and talk. Ivette: I don't know. Maggie: I'm looking at the board. Note: The house seems to feel, because of the black knight in place of the gumball machine, that it could be a chess challenge. Maggie apparently doesn't know a lot about chess, so feels it would be unfair. Sarah earlier mentioned this to Janelle and Kaysar. Janelle was not sympathetic, and I think she commented with "Too bad." Kaysar says that Howie and Kaysar and possibly Janelle are the best at chess, so why would BB make a challenge like that? I hear voices in the bedroom (the huge bedroom with lots of beds). I can pick out Howie and April, who asked him if he needed a facemask. I don't think Ivette joined Maggie. In fact, I think I hear her talking. I see someone who looks like Maggie in bed now (that was quick?). I heard Howie say "Kaysar is doing the dirty work; that's for sure." I think I hear Ivette talking to James. Ivette: I thought you knew. James: Yeah, I just think he wanted to be cool and not broadside me. He also told me I was safe. I've heard two stories, so... Ivette: What? James: I've heard two stories, so... (James is acting like he is upset, or depressed. Earlier, Kaysar was saying that James was acting too happy and needed to act depressed about being evicted. Ivette was definitely feeling out James to see if he is upset at Kaysar, maybe to get some dirt. James kept it short and sweet.)

Janelle and Kaysar are trying to figure out the order of picking partners in the veto comp. At first, Kaysar was going to pick Janelle, but Janelle thinks that it might be best to pick Howie first, because if Maggie gets to pick second, she won't be tipped off that they have a plan, and she will go ahead and pick Ivette as planned. Kaysar says okay, he will pick Howie. Then Kaysar works out some other possibilities of how the picking could go, and he could go ahead and pick Janelle. He says there are so many possibilities, but either way Eric is going to realize he is going home. Kaysar: So really, it doesn't matter. Janelle: I know. (Happy voice). Janelle wonders how to tell James that they are maybe going to switch up with Kaysar picking Howie/Janelle. She says that she and James are supposed to be fighting. Kaysar: You stay away from him. Janelle: Okay. I can tell Sarah and she will tell James. Janelle says that one of the three of their little core group is going home. Kaysar says they aren't sure what is going on with the whole James situation. They don't know if they are trying to save James or get rid of him. Kaysar says they aren't treating Rachel like shit for no reason right now. He thinks maybe they are finally figuring out the pairs thing. Kaysar: They probably think, why am I putting James up? It's too risky. Janelle says something about Eric going. Kaysar: Awwww. No more waking up at 5 a.m. to make Mickey Mouse pancakes. Janelle is waiting for the DR to call her in. Kaysar says that Ivette will probably be crying. Janelle says that April keeps trying to get Janelle to like Ivette, saying Ivette is the best person, and she should send her over to talk to her. Janelle: I was like, okay, send her over! Just kidding! (laughs) Janelle: I have to sleep on that fricking cot! (Earlier, Janelle talked at length to Howie and Kaysar, who agreed that the other group is acting like a bunch of children. Apparently, Janelle was supposed to get a bed (either Howie's or James') and she put her stuff next to it. She went inside and "HE" was lying there. (I think it was Eric). She asked where her stuff was he said it was "by that cot over there." So he took the cot that was supposed to be her's.) Feed 4: Kitchen Howie and Cappy Cappy says that he talked to Kaysar and told Kaysar that he will play with everything he has, but not use the veto if he gets it. Howie: Oh, are you going to play??! Cappy: I don't know. I told Kaysar I would play with everything I had, but not use it. You have to honor the commitments that you make. You have to honor the commitments that you make (2x). Talk about the food comp. Cappy: I can't believe out of 2-1 odds! It was 2-1 odds, dude! Howie: It's like Vegas. Cappy: I would have taken those odds any day! Janelle comes in and talks to them. (Cappy is talking to her now like she is a human being).

Sarah is outside now with Janelle and Kaysar. Sarah says that she can't lie, she isn't good at lying and she hated lying to them. Kaysar says that when she was in the HOH room pouring her heart out to him, crying, he thought she was setting him up. Sarah says that she was partly crying because she was lonely without her family, and part was because she was scared that James will leave and she will be there alone. She tells Kaysar that she was partly trying to tell him about her and James without actually telling him. Sarah: I was thinking, come on, Kaysar! You're a smart guy! Sarah: Did you put him up to try to figure him out, or did you put him up because you wanted him gone at that time? (James) Kaysar says it is complicated. He tells her that he knew that James would stir things up. He caused people to come out of their shells. Sarah: Yeah, but people are still following Eric. Kaysar: That's what YOU think. How do you think we got Rachel? Sarah: Are you sure? Kaysar: Yes. Sarah: I trust you. I mean, I understand why you put him up. That was the smartest move. Kaysar: Here's the thing. I don't have Janelle here with us, Howie here with us, you and James and Howie here with us as an accident. I knew I needed this many people. Sarah: So you are going to get rid of that whole group? Janelle: You know what, after that it will be a fair group. No more backstabbing. Sarah also says yes, no more backstabbing, it will be fair. Kaysar: Don't you want the most honest, the most trustworthy, the people with the most integrity judging you at the end? Sarah: Yeah. Okay, cool. I didn't even know you guys were out here. I was going to sit by myself. Okay, I'm going to go to bed now. Thanks, you guys. (Sarah leaves)

Janelle just did a hysterical impression of someone with Cappy, but I missed the beginning. It ended with her, in a high voice, saying: "Cap--py! Let me wipe your ass! Cap-py! Tell us again a story about your children!" Kaysar: You know what's funny? Eric thought he had it all thought out because he made a deal with me and James. He thought everything was perfect.

BB time: 11:30 p.m. backyard Janelle and Kaysar at table. Kaysar: James can't stop smiling. He can't stop smiling and Sarah can't stop smiling. They care about each other and have to pretend that they don't know each other. Janelle: That would be hard. So it appears as though the new team (Kaysar, Janelle, Howie, Rachel, James and Sarah) does know that James and Sarah are a couple. Kaysar says that the comp. could be anything--juggling plates on their head, even. Janelle says she thinks that James will be fine. Kaysar says he hopes so. Kaysar is planning, saying they will have a meeting after the comp., celebrate a little, but play the rest of the game with integrity. Janelle: I can't wait. Kaysar: The game will be fun at that point. Kaysar says that they will be playing with people they like, and they will be having fun in the game. Janelle agrees. Janelle says that BB didn't tell them how much they will win, with the new twist. She asks when they will find out how much they will get? Kaysar says that he doesn't know or care--they can't get greedy. Janelle says it is so funny that everyone hates her so much. They are all talking, saying that she is the reason that Kaysar put up Maggie and James. Kaysar: They think I'm so naive. (laughing) The feed switches to inside the house, where April is telling someone that she was called out for smoking by "him." The girl (I can't see her) gasps and says "How uncalled for!" Now, the feed is switching again to the outside. Janelle says that she can't believe how it would be to have your boyfriend in the house! Kaysar says that Sarah told him that if James goes, she doesn't want to be there. Kaysar: James is a commercial risk evaluator or something. Janelle: He isn't a high school teacher? Kaysar: Nope! Janelle: What!!! Kaysar: He's like an investigator. That's how I knew he would play the game well. Janelle: Did you ask him why he didn't like me? (I didn't hear Kaysar's answer.) Janelle: Ivette swore on her MOTHER that she would vote to keep James. Kaysar: On her mother? Janelle: I guess Eric said he wanted the final four to be him, Beau, Ivette.... Kaysar: And James. Janelle: What a liar! Feeds timed out..

Here's what I heard during the Kaysar/Howie convo--I'm not sure if I'm right or not. Kaysar asked Howie if he really is bi. Howie said that he was not going to say yes or no--he would let the viewers decide. Then he laughed and said that it was the summer of secrets, after all. Kaysar said he just had to promise him one thing, and Howie kept saying stuff like 'Oh, man!' and Kaysar said that he just wanted him to promise that at the wrap party he would tell him the truth. Howie told him that at the wrap party he would tell him the truth about EVERYTHING. Earlier, they talked about Rachel and it did seem to be clear that Kaysar knows that Howie and Rachel are paired, and they seemed to be open about it. Janelle came out and talked with Kaysar and Howie for a while. They were talking about the veto comp. and how they are going to have a huge shock/surprise factor over the other side. Kaysar was trying to figure out the order of choosing people for the comp. The HOH will pick first, and that will be the first shock because Eric thinks Kaysar is picking him to play for him so that they can take out James. Apparently, the two who are on the block for eviction do a sort of pick to see who will then pick second, and I think I heard that they pick something "with a mark on it." So, that person will get to pick second. Kaysar says that after he fails to pick Eric to play for him, if Maggie gets to pick second she may pick Eric to play for her. Kaysar says that will give him even more of a reason to put Eric on the block when they take James off. As they were talking, April came out and asked to sit with them and smoke. They seemed shocked that she was smoking (probably because of her health problem). They switched the talk to Howie acting like a pig, and he was saying that he never realized that April has huge boobs, was stacked, etc. After that, they all went inside, and there was a brief whisperfest between James and I think Howie and Kaysar (I wasn't looking at the screen at that moment, so I can't be sure who was with James). Later on, April laid down next to Maggie and was whispering to her, and James came in and interrupted them twice! He said something and April said not to say that, so James said "Why? Are you going to vote me off?" and laughed. April whined that he shouldn't say that--she didn't need that pressure. He laughed and said he was just kidding. Then Maggie said that she has been saying that to people all day--reassuring people.

I switched feeds to F3, where "working" Beau is talking to Janelle and Michael in the hammock. Janelle is talking about a dinner that she went to, and there were (I think) six bottles of Cristal champagne (not sure if that is the right spelling or not). She started to mention a name, and we got FOTH. Have a good night -Catniptoy

Ivette told Howie that he is the "kind of a guy that you see on the street and then you suddenly find out he is gay." She said that Howie is never serious, and Howie says he is serious, every minute of the day. Finally, Ivette is a little quieter. Someone just yelled to Howie and asked "Howie! You have a kid?" I couldn't hear the answer. Ivette is griping about Howie to Rachel, asking what she thinks, and giving her opinion. Ivette says he needs to open the door. (Earlier, she said he is so closed off, he is sealed). Rachel says that Howie has made a decision and it is his decision. Ivette: Howie, go shower! You stink! I was gonna spoon you! Go shower! Howie: You were? I love spooning! Ivette: I love you Howie! Howie just asked if Janelle is smoking, because he doesn't want the Janelle doll to smoke. Ivette: Howie, within twenty minutes I am not going to spoon you, so go shower. Howie: I still have to work out. Ivette: Well, forget you then. Ivette: Howie, smile how you look in the picture! Let me see! (Laughter at goofy smile) Ivette asks where Beau is, and someone says Beau is "working." Someone asks Ivette if her boyfriend would care that she is doing something with him (I think it was Howie). She says no, because he is "semi." Kaysar asks what that means. Ivette says it is a semi-thing. April speaks up and says she is just dating someone. Howie is talking about self pleasure, and how long it has been. Kaysar says, "Howie, please!" and they laugh, but Ivette says "See! That's what I was saying! In the real world, you could walk away from stuff like that!" Kaysar says that he doesn't need to talk about it all of the time in such detail. Howie is now describing, in full detail, the complete sex act he would do, and we get FOTH.

One of the funniest lines ever: Ivette: What's in downtown Colorado? James: Nothing. Downtown DENVER. Colorado is a STATE. Ivette: Whatever. I have brain farts in here. They, along with Maggie, have been talking about Rachel's personal life. She just broke up with someone. She knew six months into the relationship that he wasn't going to commit, and he wasn't the right one. Maggie is surprised it took that long to know he wasn't the right one. Rachel says up until six months, she thought he was Mr. Right. They took trips, vacations, etc. After six months, he changed focus and she wasn't the main focus, and he felt they were going in different directions, and now she knows he was right. She was shocked. He ended the relationship and he blindsided her. Earlier, Rachel said that she has guys who are friends, "But none that are....." and then she ends that thought and says that she did have a friend in high school who was a guy, and she still feels the same way about him (Howie?). I think Howie is massaging Jennifer's back. Howie is saying that throughout his life, people have said that he should maybe talk to a professional about his life. He was out of shape, wasn't getting enough action, didn't have enough money. He thinks it is ridiculous to pay someone to tell him stuff he already knows, that he knew he needed to get in shape, get another job, and go to bars to meet more people. Ivette is ranting about how therapists are good, because they can tell you things in a way that makes you understand it. She thinks Howie needs to go to a therapist because of his problems with relationships with women. Ivette is raging at Howie, saying that he never spoke to anyone about his broken heart, so he now sees women only as bimbos, good for one thing--sex. Howie: Ok...so, what? (laughs) Ranting from Ivette saying that he can get a woman who is a great part of his life, a companion, etc. Howie: Okay...Rachel? Rachel says no way, sorry. Then she tells Ivette that some men just aren't cut out for certain things. Howie says that his destiny is not cut out for certain things, and he is "working on his summer of secrets in my own, private way!"

Eric and Rachel are talking in the HOH room, and Eric is rambling on about his strategy. He is (in my opinion) talking down to her. He says "You're a smart girl.." Eric says that he has been doing strategy, and it looked like everyone wanted Michael out, so that is why he has done what he did. He says he isn't sure Michael is as bad as "everyone thinks." Rachel says that is where she is coming from, too. (Earlier, Rachel said that she also felt that Michael should go). Eric says that Michael still was at fault, but he doesn't think he was the only one at fault. Rachel agrees. Eric said that at the hot tub, Michael was acting like the "old Michael." Rachel agrees. Eric asks what Michael told her at the hot tub, but she basically says nothing. Eric says all of this "makes you wonder if we did the right thing" with regards to Michael. However, Eric says that Michael "dug his own grave," and Rachel agrees. Eric: He has never apologized to me once, and that's fine, because he has to live with himself. I apologized for myself, and that's just being a man. Rachel then points out that the only thing that bothers her is that now Janelle is going to get her way. Eric says that Janelle and Kaysar both have to go. Then he reflects that it is going to be hard eventually to put up the rest of them, because they are all friends, some of them closer than their friends at home. Eric is saying that he isn't going to lie to Rachel, it is strategy, and he doesn't have an agreement with Rachel. He tells her that eventually if Rachel looks at her situation and has to put him up on the block, he will hug her and be fine with it. Eric says that after this eviction is over, he will go to Janelle and tell her that she owes him. He says that he isn't sure that will go far with her, as they don't really have a deal and he isn't really saving her. Eric says that he believes that Janelle would cut her own mother's throat to win the game. Rachel: "Wow." Eric says that Janelle is smart and plays this dumb blonde persona and it is bull----. Rachel asks if he asked about her education, and he says no, did she? Rachel doesn't really answer (in my opinion) and says instead that "maybe" she is working at the bar to get through school? Eric says that he let his emotions get the best of him with a person who is leaving anyway, so he was lucky in that sense. He says that Ivette can't keep her emotions out of the game at all, and he loves her and isn't insinuating that he wants rid of her at all, but that is the sort of person you eventually have to.....(get rid of). Eric: Sometimes I feel that she feels she has something she has to prove. Eric says that his daughter is the same way, will "fight to the death before she gives up" and says that it is a strength in the real world, but not in the game. He says that she almost got into a fight again tonight with Kaysar. He has told Ivette (according to him) many times to keep her emotions in check. Rachel says she is still going week to week. Eric agrees. Rachel says that Thursday it will be week to week again. Eric: It is another huge day. Another huge day. For all of us. (Thanks, Eric, for your incredible ability to state the obvious).

F1 and F2: Kitchen Janelle and Howie were alone briefly, and Rachel was the topic, and I heard the word "friend," and Howie said she is cute, but....and they were interrupted. Howie tried to cover up by saying that he was harrassing Janelle, but now they were down to a normal, serious talk, so she forgave him. Howie was eating something and Beau was cleaning up, and Howie asked him to wait there while he finished his last spoonful, and then Beau took the bowl to clean it. Meanwhile, Michael came in and was giving Howie a back massage. (How does Howie do it?) James, April and (I think) Sarah are talking outside at the little table. April said that "she" will ask if April is voting her off, and James says to say "No," not yet. April is running down Janelle, saying that she gets people to do things for her because of her looks. James says that after she gets what she wants, she sells herself and has a lot of fun with it, and the guys enjoy her, but then it is a tradeoff. Sarah says it is sad, and James says it is only sad to them, and it is her life and she will live it, and good luck. April was saying that she doesn't want Janelle to win HOH. (I do, though!!!)

April asks if anyone is asleep, and Sarah says that Jennifer is in bed, and Maggie is lying down but isn't asleep. (It's 9:30 p.m.!!!) James is talking to them, and he and Sarah are acting as though they don't know each other. In fact, April just told James that he would never make it sleeping with Sarah, because she takes the covers and winds her legs around yours. James even asked a question about it, if she sleeps on her back? James: We're not hooking up. Now April, James and Sarah are talking about animals. April is talking about a dog she had that peed on them in the middle of the night, because he was jealous that she was sleeping with Matt. Sarah says that she had an ex that was allergic to her pet, and she got rid of him. James was silent during this.

Howie is going on and on to Janelle, calling her "Janie," saying that guys would do anything for her; he would. He said he would dress her, feed her, and fight a midget for her. Kaysar is giggling. Howie is being a little gross about her private parts while he is at it. He wants a Janie doll, and says he could sell so many of them, with "cute, fake boobies" on the doll. He says they will put out the Bo Bo doll out first, then the Janie doll. He says he would play with it, fondle it, etc. Now, Howie is commenting on her skirt, her legs, how he would lick them for hours....(and Michael is supposed to be the sexual predator?) Howie: Oh, there are so many things we are going to do together one day. I love you. Every inch of you. All of you.

For some reason, F3 is on the living room area, with no one there, and F4 is on the empty kitchen table. There is a group of hamsters talking outside, with Howie, James and April in the group. I can't see anyone else, but I know there are more of them there. Howie was joking around, being Howie. He was saying that he was trying to give everybody a good show earlier. I'm not sure what he did.

Just to add, earlier when Ivette was saying that Kaysar was imposing his special rules on the house by bringing in a carpet that they can't touch (and the convo ensued where he explained it was a prayer rug), he had to explain that he had to make sure it was a clean place to pray. He said that if he was outside on the grass, he could put it straight on the grass. Ivette was incredulous, saying 'So the grass and dirt is cleaner than THIS? Cleaner than THIS?' Kaysar has explained that the grass has to do with nature, pure, etc., and that is why he can put the prayer rug on the ground. Kaysar is STILL being forced to explain his religion and Ivette's perception that he is being a hypocrite. She earlier brought up the fact that he says he can't join up in comps with certain types of food, and that isn't right. Kaysar pointed out that Maggie is the same, with her vegetarian beliefs. She said "Yeah, but..." and said that Maggie believes SO strongly in her beliefs, and if her food wasn't provided or she would be forced to eat meat, she wouldn't have come to the house. Kaysar said that he stayed up nights worrying about whether coming into the house was the right thing for him or not. Every time he tries to explain something, she says she doesn't care; this is just her opinion.
