THE SLIPPERY, THE SLIMY AND THE SLOP
This season tarantulas have replaced the fish tank as the house entertainment. While they are off-putting to some of the HouseGuests, Mike prefers them to other pets in the house, like "Janelle the shark (and) James the snake," as at least the spiders are locked up.
The rumor of the Food Competition spreads that it is bugs for breakfast. Erika hates bugs, and even Kaysar pleads, "I don't wanna eat bugs. I don't wanna eat bugs." The guys contemplate the insects on the wall as their potential food choices. Mike, ever the culinary king, says that with the appropriate sauces the bugs could be palatable. Howie pipes in that anything cooked in Wesson oil would also be good.
The Food Competition is announced. Each HouseGuest is given bibs (overalls) and a bandana, "which was not very Janey-like," Janelle scolds. As the HouseGuests exit the house, they spy the BIG BROTHER Barnyard. The area is filled with corn and a big trough of slop. "It looked bad it smelled bad," Will admits. The two teams are each placed in a corral. Split into three teams of two, each twosome must run to the trough with one arm tied to their partner and search for rats that are hidden in the slop. The only way they can find the rats is with their mouths. After each team member picks up a rat in their teeth, they then run back to their corral and drop the rats into a "cage." At that point, the next team is released to run to the trough and fish for rats. "The trough is like vomit," Danielle complains, "It's nasty."
Nakomis, partnered with Marcellas, makes a mistake and returns to the cage with her bandana in her mouth instead of a rat, which outrages Marcellas. "How do you not know the difference between a rat and a bandana?" After a messy race, the red team emerges as the winner, meaning that Mike, Will, George, Jase, Diane and Erika will be eating well the next week. Meanwhile the blue team, which includes the S-6 alliance, Marcellas and Nakomis, will be feasting on the remains of the Competition. Marcellas assigns blame for the loss on Nakomis and her bandana mishap. Jase smiles smugly at the thought of the S-6 eating slop for the entire week.
