BB27: Week 9
HOH: The White Locust Resort!
Someone's going home....PLEASE let it be Rachel!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Tyler's back!!!!!!
Ava wins!!!!!!!! BUT....she's NOT HOH. She merely decides who gets to COMPETE for HOH.
Keanu volunteers, but Rachel drags Ava off, PISSING OFF AVA!
When it's time to pick, Lauren, Keanu, and Rachel volunteer to do it 1st. Ava picks Vince:)
Vince survives in 6.5 mins! Next up is Lauren. STFU Rachel!!!
Lauren survives in 5.5 mins! Next up is Morgan.
Morgan survies 4.5 mins. Next up is Rachel.
RACHEL IS ELIMINATED!!!!!!!! Whoot whoot!!!!!!
WTH was hanging off the back of her pants?
Ding dong the bitch is OUT! You are NOT a legend, bitch.....suck it up and let someone else win. You are NOT the queen.
Lauren completed the maze in the fastest time, so she's HOH!
OMG Keanu....grow a pair. Rachel was NEVER going to beat you, if you two were in the final! And she was NEVER going to take you to the end!
And puts up Morgan, Will, and Ash:) (slightly racist; hope no one screams that card, since Lauren's white!)
Veto: Lauren, Will, Ashley, Morgan, Vince, and Ava.
BB Comics!
Lauren: 13:03 2nd place
Ash: 20:32 3rd place
Morgan: 12:34 WINNER!
Veto Meeting:
Morgan takes herself off; Lauren puts up Keanu.
Morgan, did you forget half your shirt?
Ash, you're falling out of yours.....
Rachel talks to Julie:
*gag* "None of these newbies listen to me!"
Now take your entitled ass back to the jury house.
BB Blockbuster: The Untangle Yourself challenge!
Typically, the smallest person wins this; Will is hopelessly still tangled; Ash gave Keanu a good run, but K just whipped himself around and won the thing.
Elimination: Ash or Will? Please be Ash!!!! I can't stand her....
DAMN IT! Vince, you had ONE JOB.....evict Ash! Ava and Kelley vs Vince, Keanu, and Morgan. Grrrrrrr.......
Will is evicted, 3-2.
Ava looks like a brown/red Holly Hobbie....
Morgan, wear something else under your sheer shirt....no one wants to see your black bra....
WHAT IS IT with these backless shirts this season???

From The Stupid Files: Y7, W29
Day 105: Warmer, mid-70s; 89 t/a
ASM: Maria
HC: Austin
Loaders: Jax, Isaiah
1) Wore dress croc on rt foot and did MUCH better!
2) Child was rude to her mom; I chastised her (mildly) and playfully bopped her on the head with a paint roller. Did NOT give her candy, but did give one to her mom! I do NOT reward bad behavior!
3) Took survey and griped about the part-time health insurance that only pays for my vision!
Outfit: Spare parts tee; faded cut off capris, teardrop crystal danglies
Day 106: Warmer, low 80s; 80 t/a
ASM: Maria
HC: Austin
Loaders: Jax, Jack
1) Things were slower, so did my LU, SMART CS training, and the Credit training.
2) Customers 'expecting' carts to 'miraculously' go where they're supposed to?????
3) Discovered we're getting another raise....but those from now on are performance-based (SMART service, surveys, credit apps). I'm screwed, unless I go back to bribing for surveys again.....ugh.
4) Went in and spoke to Holly about our crappy insurance, and discovered how to contribute/take advantage of the LERF system. Short term disability is probably NOT the way to go.
Outfit: Alaskan Hwy tee, faded cut off capris, large gold hoops
Bought a Halloween tee:)
Day 107: LHS Homecoming Warm, mid 80s; 94 t/a
ASM: Daniel

BB27: Week 8:
HOH: Keanu wins, beating Kelley in the final question!
Vince, quit whining to K 'please don't put me up!' Man up. Grow a pair already!
Rachel: I don't backstab; I'm loyal; I don't lie. BULLSH*T!
Yikes Ava....WTH are you wearing?
Keanu puts up Morgan, Vince, and Mickey
POV:
Mickey, put a tee over your yellow bikini top.....
Rachel's 'Feel the BB Burn'....oh give me a break! Rolling your eyes at Keanu, and waiting for Lauren to answer a question.....*eye roll*
Keanu announces it's time to pick players and Ash is in the shower AGAIN???
Players: Keanu, Vince, Mickey, Morgan, Lauren, and Kelley:)
Keanu drew his own name and picked Kelley, which aroused Rachel's suspicions....
Oh gag me.....'I brought you a muffin, because I'm so sweet....the sweetest girl here....' (Rachel) *gag*
Girl, what is WITH those flower earrings? How do they even attach to your ears?
*double gag* Angela is the host for this Paris-themed POV! The Charcuterie Board Protection:)
*eye roll* Ash, you went to LAW SCHOOL and you can't pronounce 'c'est' as 'SEST'!!!
Morgan wins! She stacked all of her 35 pieces before they fell off:)
Rachel tries to bribe Keanu with lasagna, to keep Ash and Ava off the block; throws Lauren under the bus.
Whoa.....Keanu floats the idea of convincing Morgan to take VINCE off, by telling her Lauren would be the replacement nom, only putting up ASH instead??? But Morgan gets cold feet.
Rachel threatens K if he puts Ash up. OMG K....PLEASE PUT RACHEL UP!!!! GET HER OUT OF THERE!
Veto Meeting: Morgan takes herself off; Keanu puts up Ash. GAHHH!!!! Where's your backbone you're always saying Vinny's lost his???
Ash, SHUT UP!
Mickey, I'm really curious about your hair......
Love it....'the two-headed dragon of Ash/Rachel'!
Rachel, SHUT UP!
Mickey, WTH are you wearing??
BB Blockbuster: Vince wins!!!!
LOVE Mickey's strategy of putting the balls in her sweatshirt! But she wasn't fast enough to catch Vince.
Elimination: Mickey or Ash? Oh PLEASE be Ashley!!!!
UGH....Ava, Rachel, couldn't you wear something NICER? Oh wait....Ava's wardrobe is a throwback to the 60s or before. But Rachel...you are NOT a fashionista! That black leather jacket over the leapard print cami is just.....ugh.
Mickey is evicted 6-1. Damn it......
BB Unlocked: Ugh....they just skipped a week. This week's Mystery Guest?
Lance Bass!
Ugh...Jesse is coming back? *gag*
OH PLEASE LET IT BE RACHEL WHO DOESN'T CHECK OUT OF THE WHITE LOCUST RESORT!!!!!
BB Unlocked: Actual Episode.
Derek, I'm on your side.....Ash needed to STFU.
Ashley acting dumb? IS it an act? Or is it REAL? I mean, who doesn't know Clark Kent is Superman? Polio was in the 40s?? Geez....
Scoreboard: Chelsie still has Morgan, Lauren, and Vince
Derek: Kelley and Keanu
Taylor: Ash, Will, and Ava
Intern Andrew: Rachel
*Jesse* and his 'pec-ulair' behavior aka 'Shirtless Sherlock': *gag*
-Kelley and her witchcraft
-Will and his bladder issues, aka 'Captain Will's Adult Diapers'
Ava's family....I understand her a little better!
Mickey's in the house! WTH are you wearing? Cover up your boobs, girl!!
Being a Have-Not:
This is why I prefer to WATCH the show. I couldn't handle it, and I'd go for a week w/o showering.
Plus, I'd go nuts w/o something to write on or with.
Taylor, #1, lost the sweatshirt, jacket, or whatever the hell you're wearing.
#2, lose the heels.
#3, put some pants on! No one wants to see your legs. You are following in Rachel's footsteps, and neither of you are fashionistas.
Hot List: Ava, Morgan, and Rachel
Not List: Vince, Keanu, Kelley
OMG! BEST PART OF EPISODE!!! Tyler knocks down Derrick, Tay, and Lance with 'Bye Bye Bye'!!!

From The Stupid Files: Y7, W28
103: Warm, low 80s; 77 t/a
ASM: Maria
HC: Austin
Loaders: Jack, Conrad
1) Kaleb has quit, so had no loader until Conrad arrived at 4:30 (Jack arrived at 6).
2) Customer returned 73 pickets, 7 4x4s, and 5 2x4s, plus a lot of hardware items.
3) DS Ian went to lunch; 5 mins later, needed 2 o/r! Fortunately, Shelly arrived.
4) Before going to break, something went down my throat as I was ringing up a customer....eyes watered, nose ran and was coughing! Finished the transaction, logged off, and blew my nose.
5) Took my pain meds after lunch, but it didn't kick in. Took off my shoe and walked around in a slipper and sock for an hour.
I might call in tomorrow; this pain is getting unbearable.
Outfit: White USA tee, dark cut off capris, Yukon color danglies, brace.
Called off 9/2, due to too much pain in both calves
104: Rare Sun Cool, low 70s; 93 t/a
ASM: Alex
HC: Kaitlyn
Loaders: Jax, Isaiah
1) I was cranky about an hour into my shift. We were busy; my back hurt; my foot hurt; whomever had closed Sat had used the wrong trash bag in the larger trash can, AND someone had made coffee. The place was a mess.
2) I got irritated by people just leaving their damn carts in the walkway.
3) Jax pissed me off when he zoomed past me w/o grabbing my trash 1st.

BB27: Week 7
HOH Comp: The Wall!
Have-Nots: Will, Ash, Morgan
Came down to Vince and Kat, and Vince wins!
Nominations: Ava, Mickey, Kelley
Rachel, WTH are you using for eye shadow? It looks ridiculous (red sparkly stuff) and makes you look like a clown!
POV: Vince, Mickey, Ava, Kelley, Will, and Keanu.
Game: Try to 'poison' each other. Basically, call their bluff.
Ava's out first, followed by Will (who was trying to throw it!), Keanu (who wanted to win!), Kelley, and Vince.
Mickey wins!
Veto Meeting: Mickey takes herself off, and Vince is too scared to put Rachel on the block, so he puts up Katherine.
Vince, grow a pair, will you? You know you're going to piss off half the house either way, so why not take the opportunity to get Rachel OUT OF THE HOUSE??? She's acting like a damn bully, and you're kowtowing to her. At this point, you've lost your 'man card', dude. If someone else doesn't do it, you just handed her the win. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Wow, Mickey took her braids out! Pretty:)
Rachel, are you on the rag? "Just turn around Keanu, and leave me alone. You don't cook or clean."
BB Blockbuster: Kelley wins!
Eviction: Katherine is evicted 7-1. The only vote she got was Lauren's.
Mickey, what are you wearing? You look like you're wearing a shower curtain.
Lauren.....a bustier and denim skirt??? Skanky.
Rachel, your hair do-dad is falling off the side of your head.
OMG....ANGELA (crazy b**ch) is coming back on Wed??? *gag*
BB Unlocked: None this week? Did they realize it wasn't working?? Or worth watching?
