TUNA NEWS -- JULY 8, 2004

Another day, another tidbit. What did the other boards have to say? Jokers Updates Abandoned! The hamsters discuss the cement room (AKA the Morgue) and talk about how those who were last to grab a bed and forced into the Morgue have abandoned it and found other places to sleep. The HGs decide they will use it as a walk-in closet. It's The Editing, Stupid Lori complains that BB is trying to manipulate her in the diary room and make her say things she doesn't want to say. She says they ask her leading questions and make her say the same thing in different ways. Iron Mortician Marvin goes on and on about his fabulous cooking. After whining nonstop about his feelings that bullion is a spice (funny, I find it in the soup aisle, myself), he talks about what a great cook he is. One of his specialties is cooking rice in chicken broth and adding chicken and sausage. He says (in a way only Marvin could say), "Hell yeah. That's what I do! I can fu*k up a farm animal 12 different ways!!" Behind The Scenes - The opening camera shot of BB5 took 20 takes. - Karen was told not to bring red, polka dot or white to the show. - Diane's key was the last one pulled in yesterday's nominations. Truer Word Were Never Spoken Continuing bulliongate, Marvin decided to have a heart to heart with one of the cameras, saying, "The bouillon cubes should have been included in this here spice rack, if you're keeping score at home." Lori asked him what he was talking about and he said, "Oh nothing. It's a show about nothing." I Shoulda Guessed Scott is homeless and unemployed and lives with mom. Holly Says - "Imagine if there is a terrorist attack and they don't tell us!" - "I want a wrinkle-dog named 'Wrinkles'. It would be so cute!" Just Not Clear on the Concept - Julie Chen Ample proof that the current hamsters are no smarter than hamsters past. The HGs discuss Julie Chen and someone asks, "Is she just the host or more than that?" Marvin replies, "She's more than that." Someone else adds, "I think she is an Executive Producer." Just Not Clear on the Concept - The Internet Post-nominations, Will takes it upon himself to remove all the keys from the hamster pictures, saying he is worried The Internet People will know who is nominated by the keys on the wall. Marvin checks in the DR, and is told they (The Internet People) deserve to know since they (TIP) paid $25. Will is amazed. Final Thoughts What could be better than a Scott / Holly conversation? (Cleaning the toilet, maybe)... Holly: "Your personality is gross" Karen: "He probably takes that as a compliment" Holly: "It's nothing but a compliment. He's my gorilla." Scott: "Well, your personality..." Holly: "Watch it. Watch your words." Scott: "Your personality is retarded." Holly: "Those are very bad words. You are Sir Bubble Eater." More tidbits from...TV Clubhouse TMI Department Holly has nightmares and sleepwalks. One of the girls (can't remember if it's Lori or Diane) can't pee in front of other people. Holly thinks she has never farted. All I Want for HoH is My Two Front Teeth Several hamsters talk about what they requested in their HoH basket. Jennifer/Nikomis asked for hair dye -- red, green or blue. Will asked for baked things from home. Adria wants the deck of cards they took from her. Will says he would compete for playing cards. Do you realize that this means there is no STFC ?? Except, Not While practicing gymnastics outside, Lori says it's a little scary being up in the air, but she knows that if she started to fall, "Scott would throw himself under her". (except not) Jase proclaims BB5 to be the funniest season ever. The girls all agree. (except not) Doublemint Twins There was alot of conversation between Diane and Drew (each having an identical twin). They each talk about their twin, and compare themselves to their twin. Diane says she's sure the only reason she made the show is because she's a twin. Then she tells him her sister made the show too. Drew says he likes doing things alone without being a twin. He asks Diane if she understands, she she says, "Yes..you're talking to a twin." For what it's worth, there is some speculation over at TV Clubhouse that a switch has already occurred at least once. So This Is Love Cowboy (Michael) talks to Scott about moving to California. Michael wants to move in with Scott so the rent would be cheaper. Scott asks if Cowboy would move his wife to California as well. Cowboy says no, he'd leave her there and visit her on the weekend. Conversations with Holly - Part 1 Holly tells a story that somehow ends with dropping a turkey in water. Marvin thinks she is lying (again). She says it's true. Marvin says, "Like when you had the alien baby?" Holly says she never said that one. Conversations with Holly - Part 2 Holly asks Jase about wearing the doorag. Holly asks him why he wears it, and Jase tells her, "I do it to sort of impress you." Later Jase tells Holly he wants a baby girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Holly asks, "so what if she had brown eyes....would you push her back up?" Conversations with Holly - Part 3 Holly and Jase discuss working out. She asks Jase how many days a week he works out. He says eight. She says, "But there are only seven days!" He says ok, four days. She asks him what his routine is, and he tells her, "First I say a prayer to the workout gods. Then I put on my spandex and workboots and walk in like I own the place."
