[chickens chattering]

Hey, what you guys doing out?

[chickens chattering]

Good morning.

Come on.

Hi, guys.

Come on.

Come on.

Come here.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Hi.

Say hello to the camera.

[theme music]

Let's head for it.

ANNOUNCER: Last night, they solved the puzzle challenge.

Now it's time to find the reward.

'Sup?

[mumbling] Dig one foot west of the lemon tree.

Yeah.

Maybe we can get in this morning.

I'm not sure.

Let's check it out.

At the very least, we could dig under the lemon tree.

I mean, we now know east and west.

Good thing we did dig last night, you guys.

Yeah, because we were thinking the west was that side.

[scoffs]

Yes.

Can you teach me how you figured that out?

How?

The puzzle? - Yeah.

[laughter]

Because I'm going to have plenty of time to learn.

- Really? - Yeah.

Yeah. OK.

Sure.

I'll just explain it to you really fast.

I thought that, you know, there had

to be some kind of rhyme and reason to that sort of thing.

OK.

And it looked like sentences.

OK?

And it couldn't be so complicated where we wouldn't

be able to figure it out.

And I notice a word that looked like your.

It said Y-F-G-O-U or something like that.

An apostrophe O-U.

And, like, you see one letter by itself.

One letter was B by itself.

OK.

There's only a couple letters that can stand by themselves.

So A are I or-- that's it.

We replaced the small letters first, and then from there,

we move our way up. - Ah.

I see. - And that's it.

[laughter] - That wasn't bad.

But I just knew.

I couldn't believe how much that it bugged you.

And you were going to figure that out.

I think that's neat.

[sighs]

$.

ANNOUNCER: Everyone gets ready for their first breakfast.

We'll make juice.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Did you get coffee, Monica?

Uh-- [inaudible].

Who all wants coffee?

I'd love some.

Excuse me.

Does anybody drink decaf?

Which I brought. Which I'm going to drink.

Oh, you brought decaf.

Yeah.

Wait.

Shall we say grace?

[laughs]

Grace.

And you grew up in Fresno too, right?

I moved times.

Whoa.

Always in California.

My father was a contractor.

A builder. - That's very good.

Did you make these?

And my stepfather was a painter.

We moved where the work was, basically.

So I've lived in the mountains.

My parents have seven acres in, like, the foothills.

They've got chickens, cows.

And I have an apartment about half a mile from the beach.

And yeah.

So you can see the ocean from my house and stuff.

It's cool.

- That's cool. - OK.

Who's next?

I'm .

I went to U of M, got a chemistry degree.

I did-- I taught organic chemistry in night school,

actually, at the U, and I tutored calculus.

My last year of college, I did synthesis and purification for

a company called by Vitaside.

So I got a drug--

drug-- a job with a drug company.

So what I do is I get--

I learn about four or five different drugs at a time,

and they ship the drugs to my house.

And then I go around to different hospitals and clinics

and give drugs to physicians to try.

So go around, and then I sample the drugs.

That's pretty much what I do all day.

- Sampling. - Free samples.

Yes.

So.

I mean, I-- yes.

We call, we sample, we drop them off and [inaudible]..

I don't take them. - Sure, sure.

Yeah, yeah.

[inaudible] Big Brother is watching.

I mean, I drop them all off.

[laughter]

Who didn't go yet?

- [inaudible] - I think George.

What's up, George?

George.

Well, I don't have as many exciting stories as you guys.

I've been a roofer for years.

I have three children.

My life consists of taking care of them,

and also I volunteer quite a bit.

I run the concessions for Jefferson High School.

Last year I was named fan of the year.

But that's been my life, you guys, is raising my family.

OK?

I've been married years.

There are happy times, and there's

not so many happy times.

And you'll find out that it gets so much better

as you get older with them.

And it isn't so much anymore this--

you know, your-- your sexual things or anything like that,

it's the companionship that you have.

Excuse me.

The family thing is really tough for me,

because I've never really been away from them

a long period of time.

And it's really hard to understand.

You could know where I'm coming from.

[laughs] I won't go there.

[music playing]

[music playing]

ANNOUNCER: Karen goes to the Red Room

because she misses her four children.

Anytime I talk about stuff to do with

[sniffs] the kids, it brings thoughts and tears,

and I don't know.

I don't so much miss them.

It's the idea, you know, that they're gone--

they're there, and I'm here.

I just-- I can still see their faces,

you know, with their tears in their eyes.

And I don't know.

It bothers me, you know?

And it shouldn't, but I think it will get easier.

But just right now, I can still--

you know, that's the vision I see of them.

And then of course, dealing with the husband thing.

You know?

It's just-- I don't miss him at all.

He-- he-- he just really sent me off.

You know, my going away was pretty cold.

He brought up so much conflict before I came into the house.

You know?

It was just an extra burden, you know, on top of everything

else I was dealing with.

I don't know why I'm angry.

I shouldn't be angry.

I kind of talked about it last night.

You know?

I just-- I shouldn't be--

I should be used to it.

Him being negative and, you know,

and not worrying about how I feel about something.

It's just his feelings are the most important.

I'm-- I'm kind of angry.

I guess that's probably eating on me today too,

and I'm dealing with that and trying not to deal

with it at the same time.

I keep thinking, OK.

I'm not-- I don't have this mother role.

I don't have this nurturer role, maybe it's time to think.

And then I started to think, and it just kind of upset me.

And so I'm like, oh, God.

Let's dismiss that.

We have more time to think of that later.

I know what she's saying.

I know.

ANNOUNCER: The women share their opinions about beauty.

They still don't know that Jamie is Miss Washington USA .

Now. But it was--

Because it's almost like a beauty pageant, you know?

And all of a sudden, you sit there, and you--

you're scrutinizing your look.

And I-- and I hate-- - That was it.

That's why I hate beauty pageants.

That was it.

Because people get so focused on themselves, and it's just--

I would never let my kids participate

when we lived in the South, because I think it's--

I-- I didn't want them to think that that

was the most important thing.

And I and even--

I'd watch people, and they'd change.

You know?

And it was ugly.

It was so ugly.

When they'd get into the beauty pageant circuit,

you mean? - Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Because they became self-focused, you know?

It was all about the look.

And I-- I mean, it's OK to dress nice.

It's OK to look nice.

But to-- but I think you start judging your worth by that.

And I never wanted my kids to do that.

I don't think children should do beauty pageants.

Oh, I don't either.

I don't agree with, like, JonBenet Ramsey and things

like that, but I also disagree with what you said.

And I think that when you're, like, and over,

I think that--

that there's a lot of benefit to them in a lot of ways.

Like, it-- it just depends on the person

and why they're doing it.

I've been to-- I've--

I have some friends who have done them,

and I've been to some and all that stuff.

And I mean, I don't know--

Have you been in one?

The South? Yeah.

In the South--

Wait a minute. You're-- OK.

You're from Seattle.

I'm from Seattle.

I think the South is very different.

And even the whole East Coast.

But I think, like, the South, people are born and raised--

With pageants.

To do it.

And, like, for example, in my state,

you can pay your way through college.

I don't know.

And I think that the thing is there's--

the women that-- a lot of women that win them.

And there's two schools of thought.

One is it's, like, a superficial thing.

The other thing is there's a lot of pageants where the most

prettiest girl doesn't win.

Doesn't even get close to it.

Because there's women with accomplishments out there.

Women that are-- you know, try to be role models

in their-- in the community.

I mean, I-- I've been to a lot of them,

and I've seen that women can open their mouths

and change the whole thing.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

I mean, you can look as good as you want, but if you--

you know, who you are, I mean, it comes through.

It's so hard to, like, escape those social rewards that--

that attractive kids get.

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.

You know?

And it's almost like--

I've got a few friends that have that pretty girl curse.

They were really, really pretty at a young age,

and so they constantly got rewarded for their appearance

and their cuteness.

And now they're grown, and they're shells.

You know?

Like, that's-- they need that attention now to feel

like they have self-worth. - Yeah.

Yeah.

People used to give my--

Jill, my oldest one.

Used to give her money because she was cute.

That is no lie.

- Oh yeah. - That's sick.

Old guys.

Little guys would come up to her and give her money.

Oh, aren't you so cute?

They'd reach in their pocket, and they'd give her money.

And my sister goes, that is so wrong!

You know?

That is crazy.

ANNOUNCER: Jordan confides to Jamie about her night job.

There are a lot of cool people here.

Yeah.

Really different.

Yeah.

I like it.

Yeah.

I just can't wait till it's like--

I don't know.

I just want to see how things evolve.

Because it's so--

I think-- [inaudible].

I was talking to someone saying that, like, it

takes about three days for people

before they can actually start being--

or let down their guard of oh my God,

I'm on film and all that stuff.

Yeah.

And that will be really interesting.

Yeah.

Isn't it interesting too how different people bring out

totally different parts of you?

Yeah. Yeah.

Like, if I'm--

If I'm with a bunch of people that want to be led,

and they're all passive, I'll, like, step into a leader role.

But when I'm-- when I'm with a bunch of leaders,

I step back more. - Yeah.

You know?

I'm like, I'll let--

I'll let you guys do it.

And then I'll say something at the end.

I'm going to go to the bathroom.

I was-- I've been stressed out throughout this whole process.

- Have you? - Like, I-- yeah.

I've just been, like, stressed about, you know,

how I'm going to be portrayed and can do I do this.

Me too.

Me too.

And you know, just nervous about things and apprehensive.

And I was thinking, after it's all said and done,

like, if I ever go through something like this again,

I'm not going to be that nervous,

which made me kind of excited.

You know?

Because I'm going through something for the first time.

Right.

I don't want people to think I'm someone I'm not.

You know? - Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

I know exactly what you're saying.

And I've always said, well, who cares what people think?

I totally care what people think.

Are you going to tell anyone about your thing?

You just going to keep it?

I don't--

You do what you want to do, because I--

I am right there with you with stuff like that.

Yeah?

Yeah.

So and then the whole thing is what you said earlier.

You know?

I mean, it's about being real and stuff,

but it's almost good to let people really

get to know who you are first.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was my plan coming in here.

I'm like, well, you know, if I make it past two weeks,

then maybe--

maybe I'll tell people.

Like, after they've known me for a couple of weeks.

But if I come right off, you know,

and I think it's a good way to be cautious about what you

disclose, you know, until you're really--

there's a lot of trust.

Like, especially with something like me being an exotic dancer.

You know?

I have no idea what time it is.

I was just talking to Mega about that.

Maybe :?

:?

No clue.

I-- see, I think it's later.

Because didn't we have to pull back that thing at like :?

I would say it's like :. Something like that.

- Yeah. - I was thinking : too.

- Really? - Yeah.

Look at the shade coming over here.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Yeah, the shade.

Yep.

Isn't that wild?

Yeah.

We're doing good, folks.

ANNOUNCER: The houseguests don't know what time it is.

They're called into the Red Room to be given

their second day challenge.

OK.

is everybody in here? [interposing voices]

- OK. - We've got it, here.

Everybody's here?

Yep.

You have exactly five minutes to build the clock

for the Big Brother house.

If you complete your challenge, you

will be told the time of day.

If you fail to bail-- build the clock within the allotted time,

you must wait one week to set your clock.

The batteries can be found growing

in the vegetable garden.

Do not take this paper out of the Red Room.

[interposing voices]

Ready.

[inaudible].

Here we go.

[inaudible].

Watch.

What-- what happens is-- watch.

Reverse that.

- [inaudible] potato. - Yeah.

Reverse it the other way around. - Reverse that.

OK. All right.

What are we going to set it to?

I don't know.

Is it-- is there-- we're going to learn how to set it.

In the vegetable garden.

Come on [inaudible].

You guys can stop looking!

What?

The potatoes are the batteries.

Ah!

We just said it in here.

The positive and negative charge.

Oh.

These are batteries that will never run out.

Um.

Right on, [inaudible].

Hey, they said no electric.

Was it the fifth?

Mhm.

We're rolling, baby.

Set.

Yes, it's : PM.

Yes, it's after.

Yes, it's :, and it's blinking, so we're going.

[cheering]

Yes, all right!

Wow.

- You guys want a ride here?

We need to wash [inaudible].

Now, is there a screw that someone can put in there?

The almighty potato clock.

[inaudible].

I know.

[music playing]

ANNOUNCER: William has been rubbing people the wrong way.

But you need to just stop.

Because you're, like, trying to hold court with folk and stuff.

That's me.

I mean, I'm [inaudible].

I know, but you have to--

What do you mean hold court?

You know, you can't just be, shake your booty.

I-- I mean, you know what I'm saying.

It's kind of funny, but--

you know what I'm saying.

Look, man.

I'm trying to-- right then, I'm trying

to get people to open up.

People are opening up.

But they're reacting to you in a certain way

because they think you're a certain kind of brother.

That's all. - Mm.

What do you mean?

I mean, I know you've got a lot more going on in your head

than shake your booty.

Oh, [muted].

Right?

Oh, absolutely.

I have my issues with making a record, shaking booty at all.

So that's what I'm talking about.

But people might be getting the impression that you're

all about mega mac, mac daddy.

You know.

All of that kind of stuff.

Not at all.

Not at all.

I'm not.

It's just, I mean, I'm touting it.

I'm not interested.

We have give one another our bios enough.

Did they know what you're about?

No, no, no, no. Not me.

But I'm saying.

I'm tired of hearing everybody's bio.

Oh, I see what you're saying.

And my mind is so, you know, busy.

I've got to have some motions.

I'm not used to being confined in one place.

I've got to go.

I was used to absorbing a lot of things.

So if it's not something in motion, it'll die.

So I got to get something going into motion.

I'm tired of the same old stories.

Well, when I was four, my mother-- you know, I--

I know.

I know.

But people-- we started talking about some interesting stuff.

I mean, it's getting there.

It's getting there.

You know.

Yeah, I know, conversation is cool, and it's stimulating.

But I mean--

You're using everybody else for your own entertainment.

Or else I'll go [muted] crazy.

Well, all I'm saying is you've got to lay off that sometimes.

You've got to allow people to just be who they are

instead of trying to make them. - I feel you.

- You know what I'm saying. - I feel you.

I feel you.

You know what I'm saying.

That's why you don't--

[inaudible] that's why you don't get

invited to my reindeer games.

I'm like, here you go with that [muted]..

[laughs].

No, I'm cool.

I'm chill.

I'm going to lay out for everybody today.

I'll believe that when I see it.

[inaudible]

ANNOUNCER: Karen is about to get a surprise from William.

We have worms in our garden.

I heard.

I don't know where they're at, either.

I found one.

And I found one bug.

I brought these for you.

I brought cigarettes thinking we would have many more

people here who smoke, and I would

be able to use them to try to manipulate the people.

But we've only got one person, so I figured you can have them.

So you're going to manipulate me.

I'll be your puppet. [laughs]

No.

I guess I didn't.

It's not going to work.

We've only got one person.

[inaudible]

Well I'll just give you my meat at every meal, OK?

[laughs]

ANNOUNCER: After letting it all out,

Karen's ready for a makeover.

Would that not be a stitch for all my family and friends

to see.

I have wigs.

I have wigs and makeup.

Oh, let's go for it.

Do you want to-- do you want to get dressed up?

Yeah. We're going to go play dress up.

Oh, that's hilarious.

- Oh, I want to go funky. - All right.

This is where I leave. But.

[laughter]

[inaudible] wig?

Oh, I-- I want that.

Oh my gosh. - It's really cute.

I almost bought a motorcycle hat the other day.

OK.

We've got to pin your hair up, though.

OK. So I could not--

Yeah.

Put it-- you can take your ears out.

Like, just-- - Behind your ears.

Yep. Yep.

OK, it goes on this way.

Oh, cool.

We need an Asian look, right?

Yeah.

I'm going to put a bunch of glitter on you.

What we should do, we should go to them

and tell them that there's something that's happened,

and there's a person from Big Brother in the house.

Oh, yeah!

That's a good idea.

[laughter]

[inaudible]

Totally.

Let me do a little bit more here.

Well, that was simple.

Oh, I love it!

[laughs] Look at how cute you are!

Oh, [inaudible].

I'm going to tell stories that our daughter corrupted me.

[laughs]

You totally look different.

Don't I?

I love it.

You look so different.

[laughs]

OK, now we do the monologue.

[laughs]

You let me-- you let me know [inaudible]..

OK.

What do we got?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look in the mirror now when you do it.

[laughter]

No.

All right!

Isn't it sweet?

Really cool.

It's Karen.

I didn't even know it was you!

Our daughter corrupted us!

There's an unknown stranger in the house.

Don't talk to [inaudible].

[laughter]

I think she looks adorable!

I didn't know it was her.

[inaudible].

Yeah.

[laughs] I didn't know it was her.

I didn't.

[laughs]

[music playing]

[music playing]

I'm going to put a hat on, anyway.

Oh, OK.

[inaudible].

There.

We cool?

Yeah, it's doable.

What do you think?

I like it like that.

[laughter]

You look like, like a Trojan or something.

[laughter]

Let me get my sunglasses.

Do you know what you need?

You need a slicker now.

[laughs] Yeah.

Yeah.

[inaudible] who's doing everything.

You'd be like Tom Brokaw. - All right, guys.

Let me get--

I could totally see you doing something like that.

Let me get my shades and my hat on.

You have a very good speaking voice.

Very clear.

What do you think, man?

Do I fit the no soul record image?

There you go. Put the hat on.

Put the hat on.

[laughs] It's just a little intense.

- That's hilarious. - Huh?

[laughs]

Yeah. Yeah.

What do you think?

Yeah.

I wanted to hear the bawk.

[bawking]

That's it.

[inaudible] chicken [inaudible]..

Up and hot.

Here, here, here.

Too much for me, y'all.

All right. OK.
