Life In Lumber: Y6, W10

 Day 39:  Rain, High 60s

Arrived just as the rain began. Took over for Kem, who informed me that #1 has been updated and no more Genesis.  It also now has the tap and pay with phone option. Was fairly steady until 4:30; Alice left at 4, then I did the prelim duties. Dawson sent me to lunch at 4:45; I simply stayed in the break room and read. When I returned, things had cleared out.  My broom was MIA, so I did my LU and AP4Me and wrote. Locked the doors at 10; Ian brought in the concrete. AJ took my trash to the hopper AND watched the register while I took a quick pit stop. HC Kay cleaned me out; put up my vest and clocked out at 10:30.

Day began with lunch at Schnitzelbank in Jasper with Randy and Shantel!

Outfit:  Black/gray l/s tee, black vest, new faded jeggings, red hoop earrings

Day 40: Sunny, low 80s

Arrived and helped Alice with the line. She took her break and I was slammed.  She came back; line died. I took a pit stop at 4:30 and swiped a broom out of the break room. When she left at 5, I did the prelim duties and was busy for an hour, then began sweeping. Austin sent me to lunch at 7:45; took a broken H-cart to receiving and told Kyle to 'put it out of its misery'. When I went back an hour later, Austin had sent for soda; I filled it. Finished sweeping and pulled trash, plus mucked the mats and sanitized the coffee bar.  ASM Charlie brought in the concrete; Joey took my trash to the hopper.  Returned items to Plumbing and Tools, and clocked out at 10:25.

Outfit:  Gray America tee, new faded jeggings, large hoops with 'disco ball' inside. 

Day 41: Sunny, low 80s

Arrived and took over for Kem. Did the prelim duties, as traffic was slow. Things picked up after 4:30, then Kim sent me to lunch at 5:15. Did my LU before I returned, and then did the soda count. Started sweeping, but then HC Britt brought the loaded cart down, which took me the better part of the evening. Only got half the floor swept, and only the trash pulled. Locked the doors at 10, and when Conrad brought in the concrete, shut the garage door.  C took my trash as HC Britt cleaned me out, then rode the mobility cart up front. Ended up returning to Lumber to open the large door again (another forklift needed to be brought in), but afterward put up my vest, took a pit stop, then returned an item to RTM.  Clocked out at 10:40.

Outfit:  Red LU tee, new faded jeggings, rhinestone danglies

Day 42: Sunny, high 80s

Arrived; discovered I'd wrapped my brace wrong, so went to the bathroom to redo it. Discovered I'd left my phone, so tracked it down at CS, thank god!  Alice took a break; I fronted the soda and pulled the coffee bar trash, and discovered Marilyn hadn't dumped the coffee.  Took the carafe to #1 so I wouldn't forget. Took a pit stop and cleaned out the carafe at 4:45, then when A left at 5, did the prelim duties.  Got pissed at AJ when he made 3 trips to get a customer's order that was staged at the back. Dawson sent me to lunch at 7:45 and when I returned, began sweeping. Pulled trash, mucked the mats, sanitized the registers and counters, locked the doors at 9:50, due to zero cars in the lot.  Loader Charles brought in the concrete and took the trash to the hopper. Closed the garage door and put up my vest after HC Britt cleaned me out. Clocked out at 10:30.

Outfit:  Black blouse, new capris, wedding day pearl buttons

Am off the next two days!  Friday is the Art Walk/Pop Up Market and Sat is Mel and Adam's wedding:)

Day 43:  Rare Sun Sunny, mid 70s

Arrived; discovered AJ was no call, no show after having a chat with Scott earlier in the week. Took over for Dawson, and for an hour, Austin and I traded customers.  Did my LU.  The minute A left at 4, five customers arrived, and I was steady for 20 mins.  D came back; no customers.  He went to see where HC Shel wanted him; I began sweeping. D came back at 5:30 to send me to break; when I returned, I finished sweeping, pulled trash, fronted the soda, sanitized the registers and coffee bar. Locked the doors at 7:55.  HC Kay cleaned me out; Mike brought in the concrete and Loader Joey took my trash to the hopper. Closed the garage door and put up my vest.  Clocked out at 8:30.

Outfit:  Bless This Mess sweatshirt; new dark jeggings, small zirconian posts.

POV Comp:  Claire, SB, Xavier, Azah, Derek F, Alyssa

I'm a little confused; I know by watching Amazing Race that Derek X and Claire are a couple, but he's spending all his time with Hannah??  He and Claire have only interacted (on camera) a couple of times, yet Claire is now SOBBING if DX gets put next to her or in her place???

I'm also beginning to understand Kyle in BB2022's assumption about another 'cookout alliance'....NO ONE KNOWS IT EXISTS!!!!!

Alyssa:

DF:  (goes for $$) Won $7500!

Azah:

SB:

Xavier: Wins with 3 mins!!!  BB Bankruptsy, Strategy Shutdown, and 3rd nominee  

Claire:

Xavier takes himself down; Derek X goes up.

Why do they call Hannah 'Chaddah'?  Duh....it's her last name.  *head slap*

BB2021: Weeks 5 and 6

 HOH Comp:  The Wall!

Derek F falls off 1st, followed by Claire, Sarah Beth, Hannah, Kyland, Britini, Azah, Tiffany, Alyssa, and Xavier.  Derek X wins!!

Tiffany, Tiff, Tiff, Tiff.....you asked D if he was ready to 'royal flush' someone WHILE HANNAH WAS RIGHT THERE!!!  Oops....

He nominates Sarah Beth and Britini.

Brit immediately starts to cry. SB knows she's a pawn, so Christian can be back-doored.

SB, now YOU get your hair out of your face.  What is WITH these girls?

POV Comp: Derek X, SB, Brit, Claire, Kyland, and Alyssa

Derek X:  4th out.  Prize:  Lord of the Latrine:) Gets to unlock the toilet and announces whomever needs to use it!  "Lord/Lady has arrived to use the Porceline Throne!"  The Power of the Potty:)

SB: 2nd out.  Prize: $5K, which raised some eyebrows.  She didn't take the veto away from C, rationing that Brit needed it more, but others saw it as being greedy.  Esp when Derek floated the idea of giving her the Jackass punishment; she whined it was her birthday week, so please don't.  This didn't sit well with people.

Brit: Wins!!!!!  Picks Veto:)

Claire:  Eliminated 1st.  Prize:  Duke of the Deck

Kyland:  3rd out. Prize:  Jackass of Clubs

Alyssa: 5th out.  Prize:  Count of Communication (new smart phone, laptop, and video chat from home)

SB, what is up with that dress?  You've got 2 clashing patterns!

Derek, Derek, DEREK!  WHY did you tell Alyssa about your plan?  You just blew everything up!

Nomination Ceremony:

Whoa....before it even takes place, Christian (who got wind of the plan!) corners D in the storage room and lays it out:  If he puts C up, then people will come for him and mess up the Jury management.  What happens when Brit takes herself off?  Now D's thinking of Derek F.  Stay tuned...

Eviction Night:

Brit takes herself off; Derek X puts up Christian.

Cookout Alliance has an issue with Tiff, trying to boss Derek F around.  Tiff wanted to talk to Brit; both Derek F and Azah showed up, which pissed off Tiff.  Xavier:  "We had one job....stay together.  But now they're yelling at each other."

Love Christian's hair, btw....and whoa....Britt's wearing makeup!?!?!

Is Alyssa wearing a bandana as a shirt???

Azah, what is it with showing off your cleavage?? 

Tiff, wth are you wearing?

Christian is evicted, 7-2, and plants a HUGE liplock on Alyssa before leaving!

New Twist:  High Rollers Room!  Gamble for powers!

Get an extra Veto vote

Life In Lumber: Y6, W9

 Day 35: High 60s

Thankfully, after the weekend stress, today was much slower.  Arrived and took over for Alice, and was busy for maybe an hour before doing the prelim duties, my LU and AP4Me. Started sweeping, and by 7, was all caught up.  Worked on my schedule and requested some forgotten May dates and June dates. HC Kay sent me to break at 8:15. Returned, pulled trash, and sanitized the registers, counters, and coffee bar.. Didn't have any customers until 9:45, then had 3 in a row. Final customer left at 10. I locked the doors; ASM Ian brought in the concrete; Loader Joey took my trash to the hopper; I put up my vest.  Clocked out at 10:30.  Discovered tomorrow's CS Robert's last day.

Earlier in the day, I scanned 4 casters, and the $800 total never phased me, until the customer showed me the receipt.  It had scanned a PACKAGE, meaning 94 casters, instead of FOUR, so I sent her up to CS for a refund.  Clearly my brain wasn't awake yet!  Robert and I laughed about it as we were walking out.

Outfit:  Blue hooded Cabela's sweatshirt, dark jeggings, large gold skinny hoops

Day 36: Rain, high 60s

It wasn't raining when I arrived, but by the time I got to the register, it was pouring. Did the prelim duties, then got busy. Things quieted down; at 7:30 I tuned into Brian's podcast and continued ringing up customers. Had one elderly gentleman want a water cooler, plus an extra water. Finally got it sent up to Lumber, and he checked out. Austin sent me to break at 8:30, and when I returned, had another elderly gentleman with an item I'd never seen before, plus he didn't know his rebar dimensions.  So while he was taking pictures, I hopped to #2 and rang up the others.  Rang up the 1st guy, then the place died again.  Did my LU and swept the hot spots. Sanitized the registers and counters, and fronted the soda (we'd filled it earlier). Brighton brought in the concrete and took the trash.  I locked the doors at 10 and returned an item to Tools.  Clocked out at 10:30.

Outfit:  Black/white poncho, red l/s v-neck tee, dark jeggings, thick white 'grandma' hoops

Am off the next two days!  Mom has an appointment on Wed, and choir practice on Thurs.

Day 37:  Low 70s

Arrived and took over for Alice. Discovered we had ZERO trash bags....so after doing part of the prelim duties, was slammed with a difficult customer, and the line backed up.  Asked him to wait, and called ASM Scott, who came down as I was checking out the VERY long line, and told him what was going on.  He told me how to fix it, so after the line grew shorter (and Brighton happened to come down to help!), I took care of the customer.  Got his order pulled (110 sheets of 12' drywall, 5 sheets of 8', and 45 sheets of 5/8ths), then the place DIED! Did my LU and checked my schedule, pulled all the trash, filled the bags.  Amy sent me to break at 9, and when I returned, swept the place and sanitized the coffee bar. Locked the doors at 9:55.  Conrad brought in the concrete, and HC Shel cleaned me out. Loader Joey took my trash to the hopper; put up my vest and returned an item to ISLG.  Clocked out around 10:40 and put gas in my car for tomorrow.

Outfit:  Palm tree sweatshirt, new faded jeggings, large thin white hoops

Off tomorrow for SI Comic Con in Benton, Il!

Day 38:  Rare Sun Sunny, high 70s

Arrived and stocked soda for an hour. Marilyn left at 4, then new hire Kim left at 4:30.  Was steady all evening.  Did the prelim duries, and my LU, then swept most of the area.  Final customer left after we closed.  Brighton brought in the concrete; HC Kay cleaned me out; I took the trash to the hopper, then put up my vest and returned an item to ISLG.  Clocked out at 8:30.

Took my break at 5:30, and discovered someone ate two of my lunchables.

Outfit:  Blessed Grandma tee, new faded jeggings, silver with blue and pink stones hoops

BB2021: Weeks 3 and 4

 Xander is HOH:)

Wildcard Comp:

Tiffany:  Wins!  Declines the offer, so Brent and Whitney don't get a chance to be safe.

Britini:  Gets knocked out 1st

Derek X Is knocked out 2nd

Nominations:  Brent and Britini

Why is she crying so much?  It's a GAME!  And you're supposed to be a karate master?  Control your emotions, woman!

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I have never seen anyone CRY so much about being nominated!  Cry, yes, then get your head back in the game.

Brent, NOBODY is "pawn material".  Get over yourself.

Personally, I think he should have nominated Whitney instead of Britini.

And what is it with a couple of women with strands of hair hanging in their faces?  Makes me want to jump in and brush it back!

And whoot....LIPLOCK between Christian and Alyssa!!!

POV Comp:

Xavier, Brent, Britini, Christian, Derek F, and Whitney:)

Brit vs Brent:  Brent wins

Xavier vs Brent: Xavier wins!

Derek F vs Whitney:  Derek wins

Christian vs Derek F:  Christian wins!

Xavier vs Christian:  Christian wins POV!!!   Doesn't use it; keeps noms the same:)

Brent thinks he has the numbers to stay.....ummm, no, you don't.  You've annoyed EVERYONE!

Just an observation:  Why does JCM always reiterate they're evicting LIVE?  After 21 seasons, I think everyone knows this....

Eviction Night:  Brent is evicted UNANIMOUSLY!

Hoh Comp:  Christian wins!

Finally!  Someone agrees with me about Whitney's weird hoodie/sports bra look!

Week 4:

Wildcard Comp: Claire wins!  

Decision time:  Keep herself AND her team safe OR only keep herself safe until Jury?

Claire chooses safety for just herself:)

Whitney's smile is beginning to be annoying.....all those teeth!

Nominations:  Whitney and Hannah

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh......I just want to push Hannah's hair off her damn face!!!!!

Thank you Tiffany for fixing it so all her hair is UP!

POV Comp:  Christian, Whitney, Hannah, Claire, Derek X, and Azah

BB Volleyball! 

Christian wins!  Derek X was a close 2nd.

Whit's outfits....wth?  A white bustier with overalls?  Orange jumpsuit with the top tied above her ribs?  A yellow crop top that shows off a lot of cleavage?  Be ready for a lot of male attention when this show is over.

Ohhhhh Derek X.....you just accidentally let Whit know she is the target and you plan to vote her out!

Noms stay the same.

Eviction Night:  

Julie...wth did you do to your hair?  Change it back!!!!

At this point, I'm fine with either of them going.  Whit and her teeth, Hannah and her hair.

Azah, is one of your straps in the wrong place????

By a unanimous vote, Whit is ejected:) 

HOH Endurance Comp:  The Wall!

Kyland  4:86

Hannah  4:14

Christian  1:25  Wins and keeps himself safe:)  Spins the wheel and keeps Xavier safe

Frenchie has lost his mind.  He nominated Alyssa, thinking she was in a showmance with Christian.  His 'observational skills' are obviously on the wrong track; now he's targeting Derek X!

The Cookout Alliance is formed! 

Tiffany, Derek F, Xavier, Azah, and Kyland

POV:

Frenchie, Tiffany, Kyland, Travis, Hannah, and Derek X (which totally messes up Frenchie's back door plan.....unless either Trav or DX don't win.)

Derek X wins!  Uses it on Kyland; Frenchie puts up Travis.

Travis is evicted, 11-2

HOH Comp:  Pool Sharks

Kyland wins, on his 30th birthday:)

Frenchie wins 3rd round:)

Sarah Beth wins 1st round:) And 4th round:) and 5th!  She wins and opts to stay with her team, instead of switching places with either Claire or Tiffany.

Brent wins 2nd round:)

Frenchie....dude, after only one conversation that apparently didn't go your way, you're ready to throw in the towel?  Chill out!  You're beginning to piss off your fellow houseguests and make them WANT to vote you off!

Kyland nominates Frenchie and Britini

Kyland:  4:54

Claire:  5:33

Derek X:  4:41  Wins!!!  Doesn't use it; noms stay the same.

Eviction Night:

What is it with Azah and her low-cut outfits?  Same with Hannah....both were seen tugging their tops into place.....and when Azah stood up, I thought she was going to 'fall out'.

And yes, Tiff...we know you have cleavage.  Cover it up. 

Same with Xavier....button your shirt....I think that look went out in the 70s....and you have NHOC!

Frenchie is evicted, 11-1

HOH:

Xavier wins!
