01x43 - Episode 43

Post by bunniefuu »

I've had enough now.

I'm not going to fill out the questionnaire,

and you know, I'm ready to leave the show,

because I don't want to do any more of this kind of stuff.

So I need to find out what I need to do.

[theme music]

ANNOUNCER: Josh and Brittany are about to get serious.

OK, I don't care that Ryan's in there.

I'm just going to tell you how I feel, OK?

Clearly, I want to kiss you.

That's obvious from the fact that we almost just kissed.

That being said, this is the thing.

I was thinking about it.

It's like OK, I want to kiss you really bad,

and I totally want all that stuff, you know?

But I don't want it to be because you've been stuck

in a house, and you haven't gotten any for two months,

and I'd want to feel like I'm special.

Like if I made out with somebody that I knew didn't feel super

lucky that I was making out with them, like I don't want to be

with someone that's just like--

Let me tell you how I feel.

Uh-huh.

The reason I don't want to kiss you

is because I like you so much.

It's like all day long, my day could be perfect with you.

I have so much fun with you, and it's like I don't want

to ruin that by kissing you.

And at the same time, I don't want

you to feel like I don't like you or don't want to kiss you,

because I do.

I just don't want it to happen like in a bed.

Me either.

It's so cheesy.

And it almost did.

I'll go back to my bed, you back to yours.

That's not what I want either.

I know.

I wonder how long this semi-permanent

is going to last?

ANNOUNCER: Jamie's choice last week

to spend time with a casting director instead of her mother

had an impact.

From what I hear from Jamie, her mom

sounds like she's very supportive,

very supportive of Jamie, very supportive of her.

And I believe that Jamie's mom was glad with the decision

that Jamie had made, and supports her %,

and I think that she's glad.

She would like to have seen her daughter granted,

but I think she's happy with her decision.

My mom would kick my a*s if I choose somebody else.

I mean, you know, I thought about that.

I said, if they had my mom or Monica behind the doors,

I would opt not to see either one of them,

definitely for fear of getting my a*s kicked.

So definitely, it was my mom, she

would have been heartbroken if I chose somebody else over her.

ANNOUNCER: The houseguests were given a questionnaire

as part of a challenge to reveal their opinions of each other.

You know what it is?

No, I have no idea.

I haven't even looked yet.

Hey, guys, we each have to go to a separate place in the

by ourselves, and do this, and we have minutes.

What is it?

I don't know.

You must answer every category.

I like the way they say at no time you'll be asked

to reveal your answers today.

I can't believe they're asking us these.

Yeah, I know.

Did you read the last one?

The last one's got some ba*ls.

It's kind of good though.

I like it.

Yep.

You do not.

Huh?

You do not.

Nah, I do.

It's good.

It's ballsy.

Most two-faced?

This is stupid.

Like all this is gonna do is hurt people's feelings.

They're gonna read off, well, your houseguests

voted as the most--

That's exactly what they're going to do.

That's exactly what they're going to do.

I'll go in later and tell them.

Did you guys put names down for everything?

No.

Oh, you refuse.

No, I refuse.

Nothing they can do.

I'm just not going to.

I wonder what they'd do if we don't do this?

Can we do that?

Just put ourselves down?

Because I put me down for weakest.

Can I put me down for most cowardly,

wishy-washy, uninspired?

Why can't we do that?

I mean, if they read something over the air, like two-faced,

I mean, stuff like that--

Most two-faced by their housemates--

That's just gonna hurt people.

That's just terrible.

I mean, that's all that is going to do.

I can't see it being useful for any purpose.

Now I want mine back.

I'm in for throwing them in the barbecue.

I'll do whatever.

I'm totally in for that.

I'm going to go to the Red Room before I turn these in.

Well, there was some loaded ones in that one.

I don't understand how that's productive at all.

It's not.

I can understand who snores the most--

The subject of this game to is not to be productive.

And stuff that's fun like that, but all that does

is hurt people's feelings.

They know that.

They definitely know that.

- Eddie did you turn yours in? - Yeah.

He gave it to me.

OK.

This is stupid.

Like why do they want to do this kind of crap?

Because they just want to hurt people's feelings.

I'll tell you this right now, they won't be able to tell who

said what because they don't know our handwriting,

because we haven't written anything down.

So they don't know my handwriting

from your handwriting, your handwriting from this one.

We didn't put our names in any of them,

you know what I'm saying?

I don't think that's the point, Eddie.

But I think everybody's bugging out.

I mean, yeah, who's the weakest?

Who's the wishy-washy?

Yeah, it's [muted], but, man.

I don't know.

[muted] like that don't bother me.

PRODUCER: Hi, Cassandra, what's up?

Hi. Nothing.

I've had enough now.

I'm not going to fill out the questionnaire,

and you know, I'm ready to leave the show,

because I don't want to do any more of this kind of stuff.

I'm not going to do things to hurt the people in the house

frankly.

It's mean spirited, and I just don't want to be a party to it.

If this were the first of the exercises

that we've had like this, I might be willing to do it,

but it's over and over and over again.

PRODUCER: But, Cassandra, I think

you knew from the beginning that Big Brother had

to do with honesty, with people sort of challenging each other.

It's about really having honest feelings and emotions

coming to the table.

And if we've tried to find ways where you guys will really

challenge each other, not in mean spirited ways,

but in ways that really get beyond the surface,

well, that's the essential aspect of what this show is.

I think racism in America is not really a major problem.

It's gotten a lot better since the s,

and mostly the s and the Civil Rights

movements, and this and that.

I don't feel it's a problem.

PRODUCER: Eddie makes a remark that nobody asked

him about that, nobody wondered, well, what did he mean by that?

You know that as the only black in this house I

cannot push discussions about race,

no matter how diplomatic I am.

And you know that this week the public is voting on us,

and I do not want to be out there three times

this week talking about race to be honest with you.

And so I'm holding myself back.

I'm not going to attack Eddie about-- you know,

I'm not going to go after Eddie and find out what's going on

in his head, because I know that the consequences could

be dire for me.

And I'm sure Curtis is in the same position.

What nerve.

What happened?

I am so scandalized.

They're so funny.

No.

What happened?

Can you confirm that you're not

trying to give yourself any kind of strategic advantage

by nominating people that way?

Oh, yeah, he asked me that, and I go, come on, guys.

I mean, I said, you know who I am.

You know exactly what I say, and how I feel about it.

I mean, oh.

PRODUCER: You were so affronted by the suggestion

in the last nominations when someone asked you whether you

nominated strategically, but what you've just

described to me is a strategy.

Yeah, I know that, but what I'm saying.

Listen, I'm the only black in this house.

Give me a break.

Come on.

You know that I'm probably the most vulnerable

person in this house.

I'm not going to then do something,

and I'm just talking about trying to survive here.

I'm not talking about some kind of voting strategy,

which I think is wrong.

I'm just talking about trying to survive,

trying to keep myself in a position

where at least people can have some positive feeling about me.

If I'm ranting and raving about race all the time,

certainly that is not going to be the case,

and I'm going to alienate people that I like in the house.

But I am going to take yet another leap of faith,

and I'm telling you my heart is completely torn about this,

because I know that I'm going to be disappointed

when whatever happens happens.

And I'll be right back in the Red Room,

and I guess that's all I have to say.

What happened?

Well, you guys know me.

You know that I complain when I think something's not right,

so I did that again this time.

And I guess their position is just that these things are

not meant to hurt us at all.

They're just meant to elicit some kind of deeper

interactions among us and encourage

us to get to know each other a little bit better,

and what have you.

[laughter]

I don't know, abrading, start a fight

to make people uncomfortable.

They feel that we're being very superficial

in our daily lives, and therefore, they

will continue to do this kind of thing

to force us not to be superficial.

Because they didn't expect us at this round or even

immediately to get along or to say not negative things

on the basis of nominations--

Well, no.

Like that or what?

I think that the feeling is that we as a group have not--

it's not just that we get along.

We're too composed?

It's that we get along and we just are

happy-go-lucky and everything's wonderful,

and it's like summer camp.

And I think that they feel that we're

copping out in terms of our--

Supposed real feelings about one another?

Yeah.

Well, that and the experience, and just the way one lives.

I mean, if you were out in the real world,

you'd be going through a range of emotions all the time,

and you'd get pissed with this one,

and you'd be angry at this one, and you'd be,

you know, upset about this and that,

and I guess they're feeling--

It's like we bonded together and are against Big

Brother instead of fighting--

One another.

Exactly.

Do you think this is what they were getting

at like in the last nomination round

when they were like, what's the real reason you're

nominating here?

Are you lying?

And things like that.

Gosh, I don't think I'm any deeper.

This is about as deep as I get.

They feel that we're not fully being ourselves, I think,

and you've said that about yourself.

But I'm fully being what they saw

in interviews, like I'm %.

They didn't see a professional side in interviews.

They didn't see a dorky side in interviews.

I mean, they are % getting what

they saw in the interviews.

They just want us to be true to who we are, I think,

or who we were.

And I think that they again see us

as copping out a little bit in terms of taking the safe way.

The reason--

I mean, if we are taking the safe way,

which I'm not saying we are, but if we weren't going

to take the safe way, the crap that they've pulled

has made us want to take the safe way.

I know. I tried to--

It's way more than crap they pulled.

I tried to get that across.

I try to get that across.

And I think they definitely see us

as having made an unspoken pact with each other

to not make waves in the house.

Really?

It's not even unspoken.

It's rather explicit.

ANNOUNCER: The questionnaires are finally answered,

and the game begins.

Every time your team gets an answer right,

I'm going to give you a card, and then

whoever's got the most cards at the end is the winning team.

- OK. - OK.

Team Dreads, most brave.

Damn.

OK, let's go with George.

George.

For most brave.

No, Cassandra, Josh, and Eddie.

Team Brave.

Who is the neatest?

Cassandra.

Do you think?

I think Curtis or Cassandra or Josh.

It could be me.

It's between Curtis, Cassandra and Josh.

Well, what do you guys think?

I fold all my stuff all the time.

Cassandra's very neat, too. [interposing voices]

I don't know how the women think.

Cassandra.

You think?

Cassandra.

- Cassandra. - OK.

Cassandra.

Josh.

Wow.

Yeah.

Who is the sloppiest?

- Eddie. - Eddie?

Whoo-hoo.

Team Green hair, who takes longest in the bathroom?

Cassandra.

Cassandra.

Thanks, Cassandra.

Who is the funniest?

Brittany.

Brittany.

Brittany.

- Yeah. - I know.

Just kidding.

I think that said funniest looking.

Who is the smartest?

I guess between Josh and Curtis,

but you want to just go Curtis?

Yeah.

Curtis.

Curtis it is.

Thanks, guys.

Who is the most attractive?

[whispering]

Jamie.

Sloshy.

I didn't say that.

Sloshy.

Oh, this game is kind of nasty.

- Wait, it gets better. - It gets better.

It gets better.

Most loyal?

Jamie, I think.

There's the whole Karen incident though.

Just kidding.

You guys, please.

All right, team, I need your answer.

I don't know. Jamie?

, , .

Let's go with Cassandra.

We've got to say something.

Nope, Jamie.

Oh.

Stick the smartest guy's answers, please.

Most two-faced?

[laughter]

[interposing voices]

Let's just hope none of us are the answer.

I don't know.

You say that too?

I'll do it, yeah.

Who?

Jamie?

Most loyal is also most two-faced.

I knew it.

Does the least amount of house chores?

Oh.

Totally Brit.

You want to go with that?

Well, who else does nothing?

Our answer is Brit.

You could have picked Eddie, Brittany, or Jamie.

OK, who is most likely to be banished this week?

Curtis.

Oh.

Curtis, sorry, it was the [inaudible]..

All right, count your cards.

.

We do too.

Yeah.

This is just, you know, it's one of the many tasks

that Big Brother asks of us, and you're

foolish if you think twice about not complying with it.

If you think about not completing it,

or at least giving it a try, you know what I'm saying?

I don't know, when I see things, man, I speak my mind,

and I try to tell it like it is best I can.

I try to see things for what they are,

and I'm not really here to educate people.

And try to make them tougher skinned and make them like me,

but I make people aware of people like me.

And I believe that it's our job as a houseguest

to comply with all these things that you give us.

It is our job as a contestant to meet all of your requirements.

I understand that, and when everyone

started pissing and moaning about, oh, this is not right.

This is not fair.

Everybody was giggling and laughing

at the first questions.

Oh, who's this? Who's that?

Ha ha. Who's the smartest?

Who's the funniest? Who's the attractive?

Who farts too much? Who this?

Who that?

Ha ha, funny, funny, then you get to the last ,

and it's like, oh, that's personal.

That's not right.

That's not worded properly.

Dah dah dah, you know what I'm saying?

Jamie even notioned of burning them in the barbecue pit.

I'm like, come on, this it's not the worst

thing that's ever happened.

And it's not going to be the worst thing that happens here,

you know?

I don't know.

My take is quit your bitching, just do what you got to do,

and that's it.

Everyone's like, well, we're going to burn them.

All right, burn yours, don't burn mine.

ANNOUNCER: George makes another final plea.

I thank you very much for letting Karen come back again.

You know, yesterday I was here, Big Brother,

and I was pretty down and out.

I did not feel good.

They voted George out.

Three nominations just like me.

I was feeling mighty low.

Well, you know that George, man, he was so kind

when he was thinking ahead.

When I left out here, that man, he made me some Hose water.

So I decided last night to rub a little bit

of that water on these babies.

Ladies around the world, no more breast

enlargements, no more looking in the back of silly magazines,

anything, one drop of George's pure Hose water on these,

and look at what your results can be.

Oh, I still don't understand why they would nominate George

to be voted out of the house.

Look at what all he has done for us females.

I urge you ladies, and the men too,

if you would like a set of these babies,

spend that money for that phone call.

Keep George in the house.

Oh, I must get back to my fountain coke and my cigarette.

Oh, thank you, guys, very much.
