The season in 60 seconds

Start with the spine.

BB2 is the place where Big Brother becomes Big Brother. The public-vote experiment gives way to HOH, nominations, house votes, live-feed strategy, and a house that immediately starts forming factions. Chilltown gives the season its first villain mythology, Justin's expulsion gives it a production-safety rupture, banners keep leaking the outside world into the game, and Nicole/Hardy spend the middle stretch looking like the adults in control. Dr. Will wins because everyone sees the mess and still keeps him: first as a target, then as a shield, then as a finalist they think can be beaten.

Winner path

Will's win as receipt days.

The winner story gets a spine: the early heat, the vote math, the endgame door, and the final decision, with drawer links where the archive has a loud-day case file.

01 / Opening night

Will walks into a brand-new game

Jul 5

2 receipts

The BB2 format creates the conditions for Will's game: nominations, house votes, HOH power, and social positioning instead of a public eviction vote.

His win only makes sense inside this new machinery. BB2 gives him a game that can be lied through.

TV Show Update #4 After the commercials, Will is brushing his teeth when Hardy comes out. They show Sheryl outisde, Monica and Hardy and Justin in the kitchen. Hardy is jumping rope. Monica says she loves her body. Will says his strategy was turned upside down, he was expecting people who were easily malleable, but what he got was people he really liked. They show them in their suits and bikinis getting into the pool. Shannon says she's bonded with the guys more than the girls. Long, slow pans up Shannon's body. Monica says she thinks people may be forming alliances, but that's natural because it's part of the game. Julie says it's day 2 in the house. Tonight, one person will sleep in the special locked bedroom, the person who is the head of household. Every thurs, they will compete to be head of household. Julie talks to the HGs. They get to look in the room through the windows. It has a stocked fridge, special amenities, but they have the exclusive power to choose which two people will be nominated for the first eviction! They begin the first contest. They spin a wheel full of personal characteristics. They then describe people with those traits, they then vote on which 2 they would most like to have head of household. Kent goes first. Nicole says that was wrong that they vote in front of others. First was sexiest and smartest. Shannon notes it was created to cause controversy. Many people don't like their label. Kent says Will is smartest, Sheryl is sexiest. They vote and Sheryl wins. Will spins next. Loudest and Kindest. He picks Nicole and Hardy. Krista was the only person who voted for Nicole. Nicole says Autumn is the smelliest, and Mike is loudest. Mike gets voted for. They whip quickly through questions. Monica got mad that she lost....

TV Show Update #5 Back from the last commercial break. Julie says Mike is the first head of household. On Saturday, he must nominate 2 housemates and break the news to the group. They will continue to tackle competitions. One week from tonight they will vote one person out. They show Mike taking the key from the back of the wheel and opens the head of household room. Sheryl and Nicole are the first two to jump on the bed with Mike. The robe has HH on in, someone says "Horatio Hornblower". Krista says she was really jealous. "It's definitely the love shack. I like it." There's a mirror above the bed. Krista checks out the fridge. Justin does a little rap for Mike. Mike in the Diary room says now people will look at him differently. He needs to watch every step. They show closing credits with the door to the Head of Household room slowly closing. See you back here for the live feeds in a couple of hours. Again, please update if you've got the chance. Others really appreciate it, and it's creates good Karma. Plus, you can then appreciate even more those who update after it's pay-per-view internet feeds later!

02 / Early heat

Chilltown gets named before it gets humbled

Jul 10

3 receipts

The house starts identifying Chilltown as a power problem before the alliance has the discipline to protect itself.

Will's first act is not dominance. It is surviving the backlash to a group everyone can see.

Chilltown receiptJul 10, 1:14 AM

Justin's gotta be... pretending a bit, too... he was JUST SAYING that "Chilltown is the strongest thing." Well, the leader of Chilltown is Will, so his badmouthing Will is totally inconsistent with that previous statement....

Justin's gotta be... pretending a bit, too... he was JUST SAYING that "Chilltown is the strongest thing." Well, the leader of Chilltown is Will, so his badmouthing Will is totally inconsistent with that previous statement. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Chilltown receiptJul 10, 1:22 AM

Kent & Justin Kent is trying to give advice to Justin, to separate himself from "Chill town". That "everyone likes you...b/c of his sense of humor". They both agree that they cannot figure out Monica, that she is playing the game very quietly. They think that Autumn is getting on her nerves. Complaining about Autumn, "is she depressed?". Always whining, "she's so needy, damn". Justin reports that Mike "has Autumn in his back pocket" (author note: but didn't Autumn earlier say she was with the non-brat packers?) Kent claims to Justin that Nicole told him she already has her bags packed. Justin thinks she is playing for sympathy, working some people (author note: and Kent still is whining about getting a BJ from her before she goes). Kent complains about Sheryl being "a passive-agressive" b*tch. [author note: Is Kent a male chauvanist pig?] And Justin is all so agreeable.

Chilltown receiptJul 11, 2:30 AM

Kent & Autumn "You have blowed the bomb on this here Chilltown, girl." about Justin, "It's like being in prison with a f%^ing thug." "All the smokers love you now, at least" [author note: K must have been having the biggest nicotine withdrawals]

03 / Solo villain

Boogie leaves him exposed

Aug 2

2 receipts

Mike's eviction should make Will the obvious next target, but it also lets him sell himself as a lone, beatable problem.

The jury-winning version of Dr. Will starts after Chilltown is no longer an active numbers bloc.

more...eviction Houseguests, the wait is finally over, lets reveal the results...by a vote of 4-1, Mike you are evicted from the Big Brother house. Lots of hugs and kisses, Mike piggybacks Krista to the door. Everybody says see you at Belly and he jokes "Yeah, I got different discounts for you guys" goodbyes to Will and jokes, "how are you staying and I'm goin' man?" To Krista, he gave her the rock someone gave him when he found out he was coming on BB and he gave her "the candle from our date" and told her, "I know you shouldn't jinx a wish but I blew it out and wished that you would win and find nothing but happiness" Bunky is consoling a sobbing Krista by telling her "It's not forever"

TV Show Update #1 Previously on Big Brother: Mike was 4th HG to be evicted, left a heartfelt goodbye to his former housemate, Krista. Hardy wins the Head of Household challenge for the second time and immediately began plotting with Nicole and Krista, leaving Monica to fend for herself. Bunky and Kent felt ostracized from the group. Will distanced himself from his former CT roommates, revelled in the collapse of the TOP alliance, and attempted to win over Nicole. Kent and Will are nominated for eviction. Can Will count on new alliances to keep him in the house, or can Kent convice old friends to remain loyal? Find out tonight on Big Brother 2. (Theme song) Day 35. H: I don't want you to assume I said what I said for television. I meant it (to Kent). Kent: Hardy's a hard-hearted phony like the rest of them just trying to snag a half million dollars. Quick cut shots of HGs while Kent sings "Welcome back my friends". W: I'm not surprised to be nominated. H: Opinions change every day in the Big Brother house. W: Maybe nobody will have noticed (you crying) besides hundreds of millions of Americans. M: I'm begining to understand Will. Kr: Will's not being evicted, it's a strategy Hardy's using to get Kent out of the house. B: I was surprised, the only difference now is I will continue to be friends with Kent, right after nominations I talked to people about the voting. (Video of Bunky asking Hardy who he wants him to vote for... Hardy says vote your conscience.) I went to Nicole, she didn't want to talk to me and says she hasn't decided. Nicole also says to vote your conscience. "Interesting she should use the exact same words Hardy used." Kent: I knew Hardy would nominate me, he's broken off and formed his own alliance. N: At this point anything is possible....

04 / Midgame

The show says the strategy out loud

Aug 21

2 receipts

The archive catches the blunt version of Will's middle game: lie low and lie.

It is not a hidden master plan so much as a shameless plan everyone keeps letting continue.

M: We (K and M) created a safe space for each other. H: I hate doing this but that's why we're here. W: I felt like a total coward, should have given Krista a courtesy vote. M: I will remind him of that every day. She really trusted Nicole and trusted Will. Hardy let her down. Bunky was up in the air. B: It was tough for me to vote for Kr, it may have ruined some life dreams that she had. H: I don't feel good about what happened, but I would be on the chopping block if she was HoH N: All of us need an outlet, there's no outlet in here. All you could do is keep it inside, or cry, or scream. W: Nicole is responsible for KR eviction, I don't know why she's so upset about it. B: If I get to vote I will not vote for Nicole Clip of Kr telling Will he sold her out to Boogie. W: I haven't cried in 10 years, when K left I felt I let Boogie, Shannon down, most importantly I embarrased myself. B: I think W felt selfish and felt bad about being selfish, that's just not like Will. B: Will is growing as a human being, there's hope for the evil doctor. W: I wanted to make sure Monica saw me crying, don't want to make them think I'm strong, want them to think I'm quiet and weak. W and M talk in bedroom, says he is intimidated, didn't want to be the one vote. M:...

H: I don't see W as much of a threat as B. H: When my time comes I hope to take it as well as he does. Bunky asks Hardy why he cried more for Kent than him. B: He nominated me and I hugged him. I think I'm being a very good sport about it. M: It can change from day to day, now I'll say maybe Will will get voted out, tomorrow it may be Bunky. N: Bunky has already put me on the spot.

W: There's a lot of factors, Hardy is responsible for evicting Shannon, Nicole is having personal problems. J: Is it personal, is it living with them? W: it's so many different factors.

W: I have nothing to hide, I'd like to speak to them in person. J: OK, go ahead. Will walks out. He says, H and N... starts talking and Will is interrupted by Julie.

M: I do want to. Monica hugs H, as does Will, then finally Nicole. Tells N to stop crying, calls back Will, tells them to all cherish these moments because nothing like it will happen ever again.

06 / Final gate

Nicole chooses the devil she thinks she can beat

Nicole wins final HOH, evicts Monica, and sits next to Will.

Will's last strategic win is social perception: he does not need final HOH if Nicole believes Monica is the harder jury opponent.

Many More Juicy Details... (long) (Author note: I'm adding what others haven't posted so far. Some of the quotes I got from my tape recording) Nic apparently won HoH cause she will sleep in HoH room & Will will sleep on water bed. Also, she remarked: "Maybe they'll give me letters from Jeff for (winning?) HoH." Neither threw HoH competition, comprised, I believe of 3 parts. Nic says that Mon will know when she gets out that neither of them really wanted to evict her. Will says he thought that the questions in the competition would be harder than they actually were. N: "I don't care about the $. I just want to see my husband" W: "I'm gonna make this up to Shannon/Boogie & take them to Vegas." N: "I'm horrified to leave (this place) but at least I'll be leaving with some $." Says she's wary about facing Jeff. Nic & Will are discussing which HG had worst time when evicted. Nic says Justin but Will says he's the kind of guy that would get off on the (controversial) way he left. (paraphrased) Will says Bunky because he didn't get to meet his idol Jeff from Survivor. Nic: Yea, that sucks." Will: "Bunky would have pe*d in his pants if he had met Jeff." Nic says Autumn & Will says that "she didn't really cope with this environment." Nic: "I didn't either." Will says Hardy because "He was literally at the end of the game in his head." When he gave a nomination speech he said "You forsee this game ending a different way than I do & you're not in the plans." Will:"& I said to myself: 'Man, there's 5 of us still left'. In the DR I commented on how Hardy could possibly have so much insight that he somehow see this to the end?"..."It's very disrespectful when there are 5 people left to say:'You're not going to be here at the end'." Will:...

Throughout the 7 thousand million days I've been in here... it's a strategic game, happened to fall in my favor. Julie: What have you done best to go this far? Nicole: I don't know, I came in and wanted to bbe honest, good to people, be myself, halfway through the game I thought Hardy and Krista were scheming against me, it is now back to this emotional game. Julie: How nervous are you about casting this vote? Nicole: I really want to vomit right now. You must choose to evict Will and Monica. I'll ask you to go out now, I'll tell you when to do it. Nicole: I'm going to be crying like a freak, just to let you know. Nicole comes out, Julie tells her to announce her decision. Nicole: This is an ethical battle for me, 3 parts to it, one is you Monica, you're amazing, wonderful, have a great admiration and respect for you. Will, even though I believe you're sometimes Beelzebub, you have redeemable qualities, you are my nemesis. 3rd is my husband, I promised him I would do the best to win.

07 / Verdict

The jury rewards the game it hated

Sep 20

3 receipts

Will wins after jurors say he manipulated them, played better, stayed loyal to Chilltown, and made the season's mess his argument.

That is the franchise's first great villain-winner lesson: resentment can still become respect if the other finalist carries enough damage.

TV Show Update #5 Back from the last commercial break. Julie says Mike is the first head of household. On Saturday, he must nominate 2 housemates and break the news to the group. They will continue to tackle competitions. One week from tonight they will vote one person out. They show Mike taking the key from the back of the wheel and opens the head of household room. Sheryl and Nicole are the first two to jump on the bed with Mike. The robe has HH on in, someone says "Horatio Hornblower". Krista says she was really jealous. "It's definitely the love shack. I like it." There's a mirror above the bed. Krista checks out the fridge. Justin does a little rap for Mike. Mike in the Diary room says now people will look at him differently. He needs to watch every step. They show closing credits with the door to the Head of Household room slowly closing. See you back here for the live feeds in a couple of hours. Again, please update if you've got the chance. Others really appreciate it, and it's creates good Karma.

TV Show Update #4 After the commercials, Will is brushing his teeth when Hardy comes out. They show Sheryl outisde, Monica and Hardy and Justin in the kitchen. Hardy is jumping rope. Monica says she loves her body. Will says his strategy was turned upside down, he was expecting people who were easily malleable, but what he got was people he really liked. They show them in their suits and bikinis getting into the pool. Shannon says she's bonded with the guys more than the girls. Long, slow pans up Shannon's body. Monica says she thinks people may be forming alliances, but that's natural because it's part of the game. Julie says it's day 2 in the house. Tonight, one person will sleep in the special locked bedroom, the person who is the head of household. Every thurs, they will compete to be head of household. Julie talks to the HGs. They get to look in the room through the windows. It has a stocked fridge, special amenities, but they have the exclusive power to choose which two people will be nominated for the first eviction! They begin the first contest. They spin a wheel full of personal characteristics. They then describe people with those traits, they then vote on which 2 they would most like to have head of household. Kent goes first. Nicole says that was wrong that they vote in front of others. First was sexiest and smartest. Shannon notes it was created to cause controversy. Many people don't like their label. Kent says Will is smartest, Sheryl is sexiest. They vote and Sheryl wins. Will spins next. Loudest and Kindest. He picks Nicole and Hardy. Krista was the only person who voted for Nicole. Nicole says Autumn is the smelliest, and Mike is loudest. Mike gets voted for. They whip quickly through questions. Monica got mad that she lost....

CT making fun of Internet Nerds sending banners.. Will says none of his friends would waste their money sending banners. They say cool people don't spend their time on a Saturday Night watching the live feeds. Mike says these losers probably think the people they see on TV are their friends saying please CT leaves these people alone. Will says they probably yell at the corner of the house where there is air conditioning saying 'Damn you Chilltown'. Shannon says something about Internet nerds again. Will said it reminds him of the Saturday Night Live skit where Trekkies are questioning William Shatner and Shatners says 'IT's Just a TV SHow'. Will goes on about the documentary movie Trekkies. And said how the main loser had a Star Trek officers uniform for formal occasion and one for casual days.

She's bending over down towards him, to either do something or say something to him. Can't hear. Will is laying out in the sun also in his lawn chair in another area of the yard. Nothing much goin' on back here. Just before the short rehearsal, Nicole was crying to Hardy outside, telling him, "I'm so sorry Hardy". Hardy is convinced he will be evicted tonight. They seem confident that no matter what, they are still somehow in control. The banner that flew by no too long ago, was a banner for both of them. Nicole was especialy happy about that.

She knew she was going to stay when she saw 5-3 vote total. She's never going to put up with Will riding her again, like he did with the soy milk. She'll go off on him whether or not she's nominated, even against him. She wants to believe Mike has good in him, every person on Earth is worth knowing, but he has a long road to go with her. They talk about the nice weather. Nicole's goal is to wear a bikini like Mo/Kr can; Krista says she already can. Kr tells her she isn't that big when N goes on about her flabby arms. She felt good about herself when she was wearing loose 4's, but she still felt fat. When the DR gang told her how beautiful she looked, she said, "good, it's the only outfit I've got." Monica or Krista told her she looked like a china doll during the live show. She thanked them. more talk about the show. She asked if she cried, embarrassed when they confirm. Chatter about Sherry and Justin (?), they're going back in now. Kr and N hug again before they go their separate ways.

The final five gets noisy with outside signals

The house is small enough that every banner, prize, nomination read, and personal pressure point lands harder than it would have a month earlier.

Why it was loud: The receipts cluster around hoh pressure, conflict, and twist talk: 15 hoh pressure hits, 12 conflict hits, and 12 twist talk hits across 650 updates.

Will & Nicole convo W: I have always been honest with you even though I have stabbed everyone else in the back. N: rolls her eyes. W: I didn't break the deal last week. What was the exact deal? IF I won HoH I wouldnt nominate you and hardy both. Well I didn't win, so I didn't break the deal. N: No, you just threw youself out of the competition. Sorry I didn't read your fine print. Now Will is busting her chops and telling her she can go play her banjo in the desert because she just sold her soul to the devil. He's joking and telling her that he really is funny and she's laughing on the inside. She says "yeah, on the inside I'm busting a gut" W: You know how people say when you are angry you are attractive? That is really true, you are very attractive right now. Like Joan of Ark. N: Yeah, JOan of Ark was nuts. W: Come on, after this is all said and done, you me and Jeff will be sitting around and eating dinner and laughing about all this. N: You think Jeff would eat a meal with you? Maybe you would be the meal. Sorry, I couldn't keep up much, they're talking too quick.... Pretty close to accurate though.

Nicole/Will talk UPDATE (long) Nicole tells Will she's worried that Jeff might believe the lies he reads on the internet. Will asks Nicole if Shapiro would be willing to show Jeff the video of the hot tub. Nicole says she won't ask Shapiro to do that (ed: Gee wonder why!) N - if I don't get a banner from Jeff tommorow I'm leaving. W - there are websites dedicated to your lips for gods sakes. I'm sure it's a cumulative effect. It's one of those things N - ya and the only way to talk yourself out of those situation is to be with your mate. W - maybe in a few days he will see that clearly there's nothing to deny and I think this is something that will cool over. Worst case senerio - is you will see him in 19 days. W mentions that she respects Nicole, Nicole says she's heard that before. Will asks her not to get into that again. W - I would get insanely jealous (ed: if he saw his gf doing the hot tub stuff with other guys) N - he told me before I left that he was worried about me embarassing him. It wasn't an arguement, but he was very worried about .. he was worried about watching the thursday show beucase I'd embarras him. W - nothing happened in that hottub if he was sitting there, you know what I mean? (ed: he's sounding like Krista in total denial - I HEARD him ask her a half dozen to STOP doing sexual things to him. I WATCHED her doing the grind in his lap trying to get him erect!) N - the f'n internet lies...everyone sayying footises in there - five f'n people - we did stupid shi* the gay guy grabbed my boobs.

Feeds Back, Will and Mon discuss Banner companies Mon says that there must be two banner companies 'cause one does a good job circling around and you can really tell what the message is, and the other does a bad job of it. Will agrees, and says the one with the black letters "sucks". Their banners are always flapping in the wind and can't be read. Mon says that they can't be blamed for flapping, depends on the weather. W says something about how he thought America would like her, but didn't think they'd like him. She says, "I never got banners like that." [ I cannot tell from her tone if that means that this WAS or WASN'T a "banner like that"] Will now talking about video stuff. How it will be cool to see stuff like Ophelia [I don't catch what else he said, just spoke for a second about it]. Will is saying, "can you imagine just for this basketball people got evicted." He says people screaming, [Mon says, "weren't supposed to smoke"], he continues about crying, about boogie freaking out, about how he and shannon just slept through it. How he told her just to sleep, and they woke up in the morning and things were all different.

Tonight's food competition will feature a carrot which will force them to choose between money and each other. (theme song) N: The hour after the eviction was horrible, we were all very pained, that's been the worst eviction yet. clip of M upset while K was leaving. N: I don't blame Monica for being mad. M: We (K and M) created a safe space for each other. H: I hate doing this but that's why we're here. W: I felt like a total coward, should have given Krista a courtesy vote. M: I will remind him of that every day. She really trusted Nicole and trusted Will. Hardy let her down. Bunky was up in the air. B: It was tough for me to vote for Kr, it may have ruined some life dreams that she had. H: I don't feel good about what happened, but I would be on the chopping block if she was HoH N: All of us need an outlet, there's no outlet in here. All you could do is keep it inside, or cry, or scream. W: Nicole is responsible for KR eviction, I don't know why she's so upset about it. B: If I get to vote I will not vote for Nicole Clip of Kr telling Will he sold her out to Boogie. W: I haven't cried in 10 years, when K left I felt I let Boogie, Shannon down, most importantly I embarrased myself. B: I think W felt selfish and felt bad about being selfish, that's just not like Will. B: Will is growing as a human being, there's hope for the evil doctor.

TV Update #5 After the commercial, Julie says tonight's nominees are a twiced divorced mother and newlywed. The honeymoon in the BB house is about to be over. Krista and Bunky are left. Julie goes to the HG By a vote of 5 to 3, Sheryl is evicted. Someone says "Oh my G*d". Mike looks blown away. People start to hug Sheryl. Kent says, "I'll keep 'em in line for you, Mom." Mike just walks away. Will doesn't look happy. Kent repeats, "I'll keep them in line." Sheryl says, "Do." Nicole is crying. Sheryl says she's fine. She's going to have Sushi tonight. She takes Bob with her. She hugs Shannon, who is crying. "I love you," Sheryl says to Shannon. Hardy gets a hug. Nicole says, "We love you, Sheryl" as do many others. Bunky says "Say Hi to Justin for us." Sheryl leaves the house. Hardy goes for the Twizzlers. Sheryl walks down the steps, notes "Oh, it was locked." Julie is waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. It is very quiet. Mike is still walking around, he and Shannon go for the food. Autumn asks what they have to do. Julie in the interview area asks how she's feeling. Sheryl is fine. Julie says "Not surprised?" Sheryl says it was up in the air, we were all on pins and needles." Julie: Mike assured you not to worry. Did you think perhaps you would be evicted (I did-S) Why? His plan of action backfired in his face. I'm very sure they're all beside themselves in there right now. Julie asks what it meant that they had to get Mike whoever stays in there. Sheryl: They put me in a position but it backfired, we want to make sure somebody got Mike, Will and Shannon. Nicole would do it. Sheryl says she knows who voted to evict her. She guesses Kent, everyone except Will, maybe Monica and Shannon. Julie: Let's see if you're right. They show her the evictions....

TV Show #1 (Before the show, Dan Rather said they may break in any time if news breaks.) Julie Chen welcomes us. The rules require no outside contact. But the horriffic events of Sept. 11 forever changed the world. The HGs have been told about it in the DR by the producers. Her cousin Tamitha worked at the World Trade Centers and is currently unaccounted for. HGs were told to stay strong. Monica in DR told there was a terrorist attack at World Trade Centers. They were hit by commercial airliners hijacked. People did get out. Sister and neice are fine, Tamitha did go to work, they're waiting to hear from her, doesn't mean anything bad at this point. Now all 3 are in the DR and are told. Nicole covers her mouth. Will says Oh my God! Nicole: They did take out part of Washington, DC, as well as New York and Pennsylvania. Will: A rural field in Pennsylvania, the pilot took it down. Nicole and Will say how strong Monica is. Monica: hoping and praying for the best. Monica gets an update, they're still looking for Tamitha. Will: I think it says a lot about her character. Monica: Whether I leave or stay, my family is there taking care of business, that's not important to me. I want to let them know I'm praying for them, I'm with them mind, body and soul and I pray for all the other families. Julie: Our prayers go out to all the families. Previously on BB: only 3 left, only 1 can win it all. After the first part of 3 part HoH, will was in the lead. in round 2, Will and Nicole led the pack. Monica was eliminated. M: I knew I was not going to be in the final two. Tonight is the final and most critical HoH competition, it's still anyone's game. Find out tonight who will be standing next to whom as the final 3 becomes the final 2. Big Brother begins now. (Theme Song) Julie:...

Long Long Update Kent and Bunky Kent and Bunky are Whispering. They are talking about Krista leading Hardy around by his Penis. Kent: (talking about Hardy) He is a sharp boy, but a little kid as far as being impressionable. This bed smells like hardy's f*ckin perfume. This place smells like a french whorehouse. Bunky: Maybe you ought to talk to Hardy and wake him up. You are a straight male. Kent: I will talk to him but I may not talk to him until he nominates tomorrow. I tell you what, if she (Krista) aint willin to tell us who she votes for, I am not tellin her who I am votin for. Did you hear her tonight telling me that she wouldn't tell me who she was going to nominate. I said, Krista, who do you think hardy should nominate? She waffled and when she comes to me and saddles up to me like she is my best friend, I am going to tell her that she hasn't decided who her friends are. And I am not certain I should tell you (Krista) who I am going to nominate. And then she turns around and says tonight that she did it (nominated Kent) because she knew Autumn was goin and she new it wouldn't be me. Yeah make my life hell for a week. Now they are thinking that they will ask the diary room to see video of when Krista pulled the keys out of the bag. They are saying she is streetsmart and Hardy is falling for it. And that she is right in the middle of chilltown and that they probably think she is on their side too. Bunky to Kent: Did you really think that chilltown was going to vote against you? Kent: I insured that they wouldn't vote for me. You can't say a word about it.. When I was talkin to Mike, I said Hey Mike. Let me tell you something. I don't know who you are voting for, I understand that waters gone under the bridge. I have enough votes to stay in this house...

TV Show Update #5 Back from the last commercial break. Julie says Mike is the first head of household. On Saturday, he must nominate 2 housemates and break the news to the group. They will continue to tackle competitions. One week from tonight they will vote one person out. They show Mike taking the key from the back of the wheel and opens the head of household room. Sheryl and Nicole are the first two to jump on the bed with Mike. The robe has HH on in, someone says "Horatio Hornblower". Krista says she was really jealous. "It's definitely the love shack. I like it." There's a mirror above the bed. Krista checks out the fridge. Justin does a little rap for Mike. Mike in the Diary room says now people will look at him differently. He needs to watch every step. They show closing credits with the door to the Head of Household room slowly closing. See you back here for the live feeds in a couple of hours. Again, please update if you've got the chance. Others really appreciate it, and it's creates good Karma. Plus, you can then appreciate even more those who update after it's pay-per-view internet feeds later!

more When they came back to Julie for the final segment, she was wearing a cream coloured pantsuit with a black scoop necked top underneath. When Mike got the key he immediately invited everyone in, and said things like "Pyjama party at Mike's!!" Most of the girls ended up piling on the bed with him, but not Shannon (?) (light haired female). Most of the guys seemed to be feeling uncomfortable standing around. The loosened up a bit and stayed in there talking. Eventually Justin gave Mike a full body hug and said a little congradulatory rap to him (not as long as Mike's earlier rap).

Will explains the whole thing to Nicole Will and Nicole are in hammock now and Will is explaining how they made an alliance with 3 people who have nothing in common and they do all their communicating through the cards. They can tell each other who to nominate out by pointing to the cards. He says even the DR doesn't know about it and they(UT) refuses to talk about it in DR. But Krista told Boogie sonmething about it and he would see it on the live show. Boogie told Will when he figured it out he would send a sign to Will and the code word would be Right Stuff. Will says when Boogie asked Krista to "take Will to the end with her" she said she had a problem with that and then started to explain why. Boogie told Will he could says something about Boogie telling him things and use the key words Right Stuff and it would be a clue to her that he knew something. So the skywriting today was from Boogie to give Will the clue with "Heart" and R S (Right Stuff). He says this is all so confusing....{and it is to me too}. But it sounds like Krista spilled guts to Will after he said the code word to her because she thought Boogie had told him things.. then it goes to FOTH!

He said he didn't want to campaign against Krista and couldn't do that to her. It was all Will doing that. Not to get him wrong, though, if somehow the powers that be kept him in, he'd play the game and be fine. He just couldn't strategize against Krista. He didn't even want to talk about it in the Diary room. They kept asking him, well, what if you leave and then she leaves in a week or two and doesn't win. Wouldn't you look back and wish you had fought to stay in the house. He'd reply, if he someone stayed in he'd keep playing the game, and obviously he was a competitor, but he couldn't try and convince people to vote Krista out. He couldn't do that to her.

How this archive works.

Nothing here is invented. Every claim points back to the receipt ledger.

Every claim links to a receipt.

Here, a receipt is a timestamped Jokers Updates row with a source link. Rows marked TV reflect episode coverage; the rest are live-feed observations. The source dataset is Jokers Updates Wayback live-feed archive imported into local SQLite. Tags are generated from receipt text, and the local database stays local while the site ships small static JSON exports. The original forum links are kept as provenance; the readable receipt text lives here so the archive still works if a source page requires access.
