BB26: Week 6

HOH Comp:  Sound Bites!  Sounds the houseguests make as they eat, shave, tap fingers, and lotion up.

T'Kor wins!!  Nominates  Makensy, Cam, and Tucker

AI Instigator:  Tucker!

Act 1:  Tries to expose his and Rubina's relationship by using Quinn's avatar, but it backfires.....and T and R share their 1st kiss after she breaks down in tears.  T tries to let her know, "Hey, now we can hold hands in public."

Act 2:  Uses Rubina's avatar:  calls out Angela as the Queen of Twerking, then uses Angela's to call her the Rolling Butt of Chuck!

Act 3:  Uses Kimo's avatar: tells them Leah knows everything going on from 'the boys'.

Act 4: Uses his own avatar; tells them Quinn and Chelsie aren't to be trusted, and now he's on the block, and he's coming for T'Kor.

Houseguests think Angela is the instigator....

POV:  T'Kor, Cam, Tucker, Makensy, Joseph, and Angela

Prizes and Punishments Comp!

TK:  Eliminated 4th; wins punishment to clear 'radioactive' things; trades for veto; swapped for $$

C: WINS! Wins BB AI assist; swaps Tucker for Veto

Tu:  Eliminated 5th; wins $$ and takes the veto; swapped for AI Assist punishment! Gets asked idiotic questions at all times of the day and night (How tall are giraffes? What does a hippo weigh?  Who was the first to live in Buckingham palace?)

M: Eliminated 3rd; wins last chance luau (trip to Hawaii); keeps it

J: Eliminated 1st; gets veto; loses veto for Mattirix:  24 hours solitary confinement with Matt's avatar, just talking incessantly!

A: Eliminated 2nd; wins Trapped in Mattrix; swaps for veto; gets the radiation punishment; has 12 hours to clean up one orb at a time; otherwise, she does NOT get to play in the HOH comp.. Periodically, she gets slimed with what looks like Pepto-bismal to 'decontaminate' herself.  Completes it in 9.5 hours:)

POV Meeting:

Cam takes himself off;  T'Kor puts up Angela. Tucker's not happy it wasn't Leah, but Angela's paranoia has T'Kor feeling unsettled.

AI Arena: Tucker, Angela, Makensy

Mack wins!  Chelsie, Cam, Leah, Mack, and possibly Quinn are thinking about taking a shot at Tucker, but Quinn's still unsure, because if he votes with the others, he runs the risk of pissing off T'Kor, Kimo, Rubina, and Joseph.  Will T'Kor have to break a tie, or will Quinn get Tucker out?

Eviction:

Tucker is evicted, 5-3 (and his AI Assist outfit!)

Nooooooooo......I liked the fact he wanted to play hard, and was hoping he'd go farther!  But agree....this was probably their ONE shot to get him out.

BB26: Week 5

 HOH Comp:  The Wall!

Angela lasts less than 4 mins.

Quinn vs Tucker:  Who will fall?  Quinn falls off

Tucker wins!

He nominates Quinn, Cam, and Brooklyn

OMG....Angela and her charcuterie board....that Brooklyn and Mack are eating IN FRONT OF HER, because she's a have-not this week!  Rude on 2 points.....a) she didn't ASK Angie if she could eat it, and b) IN FRONT OF HER???

POV:  Tucker, Quinn, Cam, Brooklyn, Makensy, and Joseph

Hide-n-Go Veto!  Hide your veto card, then one by one contestants tear up the house, looking for it:)  Brooklyn is terrified, since she likes a clean house, lol!

Joseph's:  Angela's bed in her bag; found by Cam; eliminated

Brooklyn's:  Quinn's dirty laundry bag; found by Quinn; eliminated

Quinn's:  His garment bag; found by Cam; eliminated

Cam's:  Inside a pillow, with a blanket to 'mask' it; found by Brooklyn; eliminated

Tucker's pissed b/c BROOKLYN tossed his clothes, but he thinks it was QUINN!

Mack's also upset with the tossing of the house....Joseph even put the garbage back, when someone tossed it on the floor.

POV Meeting:

Tucker wins; uses it to take Quinn off.  Puts up Chelsie.

AI Arena:  Cam, Chelsie, Brooklyn

Chelsie correctly puts the images on the screen from the scrambled letters:)

Eviction:

Brooklyn is evicted, 8-1

Life In Lumber: Y6, W26

 Day 108:  Hot, humid, high 90s

Joked that I was already wilted when I arrived, and after a 'rush', the crowd left. Cooled off as I did my AP4Me and LU. Didn't do a whole lot; just did the prelim duties, checked out customers, sanitized the coffee bar. Went to break at 8, and when I returned, pulled trash and fronted soda. Locked the doors at 10 and took the trash to the hopper. Loader Con brought in the concrete; after HC Shel cleaned me out, returned items to Plumbing, Tools, and Hardware. Clocked out at 10:25.

Outfit:  Gray USA Flowers tee, long capris, gold and crystal danglies

Day 109:  Hot, humid, high 90s

Was busy the first hour of my shift, then needed an emergency pit stop. Came back and spot-swept, then things were slow. HC Shel asked me to do soda count, then pulled trash.  She brought down about half of what was needed. Final customer left at 10....after returning boards we'd cut too short last night.  I didn't know we could, but if it was our mistake...then okay.....

Had a customer trying to go through VSP.....there's a new system and it took me 3 tries to figure it out....then he had an issue with his card.  Ended up calling customer service and switching to a new register, b/c his card wouldn't swipe.  Had to look it up....and it went through!  After the CS guy hung up on me....

Returned an item to Roofing, then put up my vest.  Took the extra soda back and clocked out at 10:20.

Off tomorrow, to watch Ramsay while S is having her hysterectomy.

Outfit:  Gray Plank LU tee, dark cut off capris, Yukon Colors.

Day 110:  Hot, high 90s

Shift went fast!  Arrived and was busy for the first 45 mins, then things slowed.  Did prelim duties, LU and my harrassment training, then fronted soda, was busy for maybe 30 mins, then dead again. Sabrina sent me to break at 7:30 and when I returned, had maybe 4 customers before it died again.  Loader Vincent came in; he and I talked....and talked.....and talked.....I pulled trash and sanitized the coffee bar, and locked the doors.  Did a quick sweep in front of the Pro counter and took the trash to the hopper while HC Kay cleaned me out. Returned items to Plumbing, Tools, and Hardware. Put up my vest and clocked out at 10:25.

Outfit:  Red Classy tee, dark cut off capris, silver diamonds

Off tomorrow to take Mom to cardio appt!

Day 111:  Rare Sat Cloudy, low 80s

Was a good shift!  Arrived at 2, and was immediately busy on #2, then helping Marilyn after Robin arrived from her break. After M left, R and I were each busy. Was able to do my LU. Took my break at 3:30, then R left at 4 to cover Deja's break, then took her 2nd. I went to lunch at 5 (met D and W at Denny's when Dogwood was closed). Gave Loader Vince his $24 and the keys to the van so he could pick up his pkg. He slipped them back to me when he returned from his break. Robin left at 6, and things were at first busy; Loader Jared stepped in to help. I got the place swept. HC Austin sent me to break again at 8:45, and when I returned, pulled trash. Final customers were Barry, who bought the six discounted windows and another customer, whom ASM SCh rang up, then we had to return a few items. While he was getting his truck and trailer, I locked the doors; ASM Shan pulled my drawer. ASM SCh had everything under control, so I left and returned items to Tools, Plumbing, and Toys (area by the ASCO). Clocked out at 10:25.

Was able to see former ASM Maria, and Max and Monica, choir director Becky's son and wife.  They now have 4 kids, Nicholas, Ruby, Indie, and Plum:)

Outfit:  Lt blue USA tee, dark cut off capris, sea horses

Day 112:  Rare Sun cloudy, low 80s

Arrived to discover I wasn't supposed to be there until 3:30; clocked in anyway and did my LU.  Went down and Marilyn was swamped!  Helped her out until 4:15 when she finally left. Hopped back on 1 around 4:30 and was busy all night! Kate sent me to break at 6:30, and when I returned, pulled trash and swept a little. Final customers left at 8. Whew!  As I was locking the doors, some dude rolled up on his motorcycle, then spotted me locking the door and left. Loader Con brought in the concrete; HC Kay cleaned me out. Put up my vest and returned items to Hardware and batteries.

Had one customer ARGUE with me over her card; it wasn't activated and all she could say was 'they've used my phone #" Her son finally paid for it, then I noticed they still hadn't left the lot.  Half an hour went by and they exited, saying CS had helped her activate her card:)

I also gouged my right ring finger on a pipe cutter as I was getting out the trash bags...blood oozed everywhere.  I couldn't keep pressure on it AND unwrap the bandaid; a customer kindly helped me.

Clocked out at 8:30.

Off tomorrow!!!

Sanitized the coffee bar, pulled trash, and made sure everything was tidy. Locked the doors at 8 after last customer left. Loader Joe brought in the concrete and took my trash.

Angela, you need to THINK before anything comes out of your MOUTH!

AI Arena:

Angela vs Tucker vs Lisa:  Tucker zips through his puzzle and takes himself off!

Eviction:  

Lisa is evicted, 11-1

Arrived and took over for Kem. Did the prelim duties; at 5, fronted the soda and did my LU and AP4Me. Went to lunch at 6:30 and when I returned, began sweeping. Took another break at 8:45.  Pulled trash and did a quick soda count. Sanitized the coffee bar and counters.

Outfit: Blue LU tee, dark cut off capris, silver chains

Off the next two days!

Day 96: Cooler, 80s

Arrived and took over for Alice. Did the prelim duties, fronted soda. Did my LU and checked my schedule, plus requested off for my Sept dates and a few in October. Around 7:30, Loader Con brought my dustmop to me and began sweeping. Izzy sent me to break at 8:30 and when I returned, pulled trash, mucked the mats, sanitized the coffee bar and my counter.

HC Austin sent me to break at 8:30, and when I returned, pulled trash and sanitized the coffee bar. Put the soda away....and then 9:45 happened.  Customer A returned 70 pieces of lumber; Customer B had 2 carts; Customer C had two pallets of flooring, plus 3 toilets AND a cart.  Customer C nearly left without one of their items; I had to chase them down as they started to pull out of the canopy area!  Loader Joe took the trash and brought in the concrete as I was finishing up the soda. HC Austin cleaned me out; returned items to Plumbing and Hardware. Put up my vest and clocked out at 10:30.  ASM CB is off for the next 10 days:)  THAT'S why we got out of there ontime, lol!

Was pissed; never got to talk to DS Kari about tomorrow; she led me to believe she was taking care of getting coverage, but to my knowledge, nothing's been done.  I can't get there until 6, so told HC Austin I'll be calling in to be late tomorrow.  As for Sunday....I think I'm trying to catch something.  I've not called in sick since Jan, so I should be fine.

Outfit:  Yellow Fla tee, dark cut off capris, sea horses

Day 98:  Rare Sat 

Finally arrived at 6:30 and took over for Dawson.  Blah evening, but busy, and my energy level crashed around 8. Did manage to sanitize the coffee bar and registers, and sweep aisle 19...and front the soda, but that's about it. Pulled trash, brought in the carts, and watched the clock. Locked the doors at 10; Loader Con took the trash and brought in the concrete; HC Austin cleaned me out. Returned items to Electrical and Plumbing, put up my vest, and clocked out at 10:30.  Felt like crap, and told ASM SC I was calling in tomorrow.  My glands are swollen; I started coughing yesterday.
