7/7/00George, the dad from Illinois, and Curtis, the lawyer, get up early and dig up the residents' $100 prize in the garden.
The challenge today is fashioning a clock using two raw potatoes as the battery.
George gives an impassioned speech about his children: "That's my life, raising my family," he says. "You should know, it's not the sexual things, it's the companionship," he continues earnestly. Wonder if his wife feels the same way. He finally begins to cry. "I've never been away from them," he bawls.
This sends Karen to the confession room again, crying as well. She has been in the house all of 24 hours and it's her second visit. George seems genuinely to miss his family; Karen, by contrast, is carrying a lot of negative emotional baggage. First chance she gets, she unloads on her husband in the confession room. "He brought up so much conflict, him being negative and not worrying about me," she sobs.
More girl talk: Karen hates beauty pageants; she doesn't know Jamie is a beauty queen. Later, Jordan confides to Jamie that she's a stripper. She calls it being an "exotic dancer." She decides she's going to wait a while before telling the others. Jamie indicates that she won't tell anyone.
Cassandra catches Mega in the bathroom and talks straight: "They're gonna think you're a certain kind of brother when you go around shaking your booty," she says. She's telling him he's acting like a cartoon of a black guy. William's having none of it. "I gotta get something emotional goin'," he says.
And then it's dress-up time! Brittany, sporting green lipstick, dresses up Karen in a wig and kewpie lips. Wacky George gets ahold of the wig, dons sunglasses and calls himself "No Soul"; with a few posture pointers from William, he does the funky chicken.moreless -
7/6/00The group sits around the kitchen table, sharing their life stories. Eddie tells the others he lost his leg to bone cancer at age 11. Jordan tells the group she's a triathlete.
There's a test for the residents, la the reward challenges on "Survivor." They have to decipher a cryptographic message that tells them where some money is. (The money apparently lets them buy food from the producers.) They figure it out, but realize they have to wait until morning to dig it up. At the end of the day, Karen ends up in the red room, crying about her kids.
George and Curtis get up early to dig up the money in the garden.
George gives an impassioned speech about his children and begins to cry. This sends Karen to the red room again, crying as well.
Girl Talk: Karen hates beauty pageants and doesn't know Jamie is a beauty queen. Jordan confides to Jamie that she's a stripper (exotic dancer).
Today's Challenge is building a clock using two raw potatoes as the battery in five minutes. If they succeed they will be told the time of day, but if they fail they have to wait a week to set the clock; Challenge Completed.
Dress-up time with Brittany: Brittany dresses up Karen in a wig and kewpie lips. George gets his hands on the wig, dons sunglasses and calls himself "No Soul"; with a few posture pointers from William, he does the funky chicken.

7/5/00On the first show, an hour long affair, a host named Ian O'Malley shows us around the house while a correspondent from CBS's "The Early Show," Julie Chen, acts enthusiastic as the 10 residents travel to the house in a caravan of SUVs.
O'Malley shows us the house, including the confession room (where, each day, each resident is required to go in and share his or her feelings) and the bathroom (monitored to prevent the residents from sneaking into the toilet or shower to have private conversations). Meanwhile, Chen chats with the residents' friends and families, whom the show has gathered outside the house.
At the end of the hour, the residents finally arrive. They meet one another and go into the house. The door shuts behind them. They roam from room to room. A solitary Jordan is caught at the end, gazing at the cameras and the two-way mirrors pensively, reality dawning. It's a lyrical scene.moreless
