BLENDERLICIOUS--THE FOOD COMPETITION

Some very excited HouseGuests journey into the House backyard to discover a setting for a fine five-course meal. Lights, candles, silver--for those who have been stuck on a strict diet of peanut butter and jelly, it seems like they are about to experience one of the best nights they've had yet. As they sit down they learn that beneath a cover is their favorite meal: each person will get what they most desire. As HoH, Nakomis reads the rules that in order to win this Food Competition each HouseGuest must scarf down their favorite meal in under three minutes. It seems like nothing could be easier--until Nakomis reveals the twist. It's going to be a blenderized version also known as "Smoothies From Hell."

A collective groan and gasp subsides and Cowboy is first up. He does a little dance to shake the food on down as he manages to eat his blenderized sweet and sour chicken with fortune cookies and Dr. Pepper. Marvin is next and he is unable to get down his deep fat fried lobster mixed with steamed oysters and topped with Corona and a smidge of lime. He says, "It was like battery acid with dog vomit in it." Adria gets her fettuccine to stay down, as does Drew his filet, and when Natalie and Diane also are up to the task the House is set for real food six of seven days.

THE REIGN OF NAKOMIS, PART II

Nakomis not only is the first HouseGuest to be HoH twice, she is the first to receive mail from the outside. She is thrilled to hear from her boyfriend Donald, who has made her a CD of her favorite songs complete with an illustration. When it is discovered that the illustration is a dead bird bleeding on the pavement, Marvin just shakes his head, saying, "To each his own." She is further moved by Donald writing all the lyrics to one of her favorite tracks from Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."

Both Natalie and Adria go in for a sit-down with Nakomis, who does them the courtesy of listening, even though she is seething inside. Natalie says that Nakomis has always been cool with her, as does Adria. Nakomis asks why Adria took out Will, and Adria replies because he was a sure thing to gun for her if she kept him in the House.
